Calling all mentors for GSOC
Committers,
The PMC received the below mail from Apache GSOC team today. Those
interested in mentoring projects through the Apache software foundation are
requested to follow the steps outlined in the trailing mail.
For GSOC, some of our immediate high priority needs include
-> Fineract 1.x: Hardening of the application, improving code coverage,
improving code quality, updating dependencies to their latest stable
releases and cleaning up the API documentation. All of these tasks together
will help us ship maintenance releases more frequently and easily going
forward. I shall expand upon the same on Jira over the weekend.
-> Fineract CN: The Community roadmap at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FINERACT/Apache+Fineract+CN+Community+Roadmap
might be a bit out of date. Would anyone be interested in updating the same?
We have started collecting starter issues and project idea on Jira with the
label "gsoc2019", see
https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-135?jql=project%20%3D%20FINERACT%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20gsoc2019
.
Mail from Apache GSOC team follows
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear PMCs,
I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2019! [1,2]
It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your
community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to mentors@community.apache.org you
should do so now else
you might miss important information.
Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3] and
PMC acknowledgement.
If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to
1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor
projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy mentors@community.apache.org*. We will
use the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.
PMCs, read carefully please.
We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to
ensure the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for
acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc
mentors@community.apache.org
Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see previous
emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already done so,
record your ideas
immediately!
Cheers,
The Apache GSoC Team
