So today my buddy, manager, and I had a meeting. It was to clear up some inconsistencies we had concerning my project. My manager made me go up to a whiteboard and literally spell out our project entirely. Of course I messed up and stuttered quite a bit, because I was personally confused. I learned not only to sort out the problems, but to also be able to reiterate the project to my co-workers.

My project basically had two ways of approaching it: 1) to use the FreeBSD code and cater it accordingly to 10-mode implementation, or 2) to port over 7-mode to 10-mode while taking out and adding the appropriate functionality. I found out that I'm doing a hybrid of the two.

There are four main aspects to my project that I'm supposed to tackle:
1) Interface AC
2) Network drivers
3) NGSH CLI
4) SMF CLI

I found out that the porting the 7-mode code to 10-mode was to cover the interface AC, which FreeBSD didn't natively support. Resolving the network drivers would be more of approach #1, by manually modifying the code to support network connections. Finishing up the CLI was more of an optional project, if I have extra time at the end to finish it.
