Yes, all of them, very closely.  You did very little work vice the
other students in the GSoC program.

One of my review metrics for junior coders is the frequency of excuses
for non-performance.  85% of your reports had a regret or platitude
for such.

* Week 0: No coding because of reading and assessment.
* Week 1: No coding because of final exams.
* Week 2: Minor tweaks for initial upload.
* Week 3: Imported contributed works.
* Week 4: First links to potentially new code.
* Week 5: "There isn't very much interesting progress."
* Week 6: "No progress on results."
* Week 7: "The installer is then going to an endless loop."
* Week 8: No coding because of summer school.
* Week 9: "I cannot get debootstrap working... currently installation
of grub2 to harddisk fail".
* Week 10: "Progress is limited... too much work to be done so I gave it up".
* Week 11: Solicited expert help, but broke the upgrade path.
* Week 12: Local package repository setup.

Week 4 and Week 12 are the two reports that had potential.

You did not personally implement any of the primary GSoC project
goals.  To reiterate, you:

* Received the overlays and copyright audit from upstream.
* Received the udeb, kmod, and grub components from other contributors.
* Failed to completely integrate root filesystem support.
* Failed to implement apt-zfs-snapshot or beadm.
* Didn't test anything.
* Don't participate upstream.

Please, prove me wrong.  Post links to the source code repositories
that contain your original work and describe how they satisfy each
deliverable.  Recall that you initially got my attention by stripping
out copyright attributions and authorship information, so don't take
credit for anything that you didn't create.

If this GSoC submission is accepted and passed, then it will set a low
watermark for the quality and quantity of work required to get a grant
through the Debian organization.
