GSoC ideas for the 2018 edition

[Daan Hoogland <da...@gmail.com>]

devs,

Google Summer of Code is coming again. Apache is applying as organisation
and we can hitch on that.
I know we have a lot of ideas with varying probability of success for which
we have no time ourselves.
Let me share some relevant information:


Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing
students to spend their summer
working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for
developing open source software
full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and project
ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to identify
and bring in new committers.

The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual
projects don't have to apply
separately.

If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the following
things as soon as
possible but please no later than 2017-01-30:

1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2018, and they will show up
at [3]. Please be as
specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the programming
language, the tools and
skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They are
supposed to learn what's
required before the program starts.

​Mark those projects with the label GSoC2018 and
​u​
se
​ additional​
labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang, python,
brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...)
Share those label with the rest of us devs, for instance on this thread.


​
[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2017 shortly).

3. subscribe to mentors@community.apache.org; restricted to potential
mentors, meant to be used as a
private list - general discussions on the public dev@community.apache.org
list as much as possible
please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one of
your alias addresses on
record).

Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet,
nevertheless you *have to*
start recording your ideas now or we will not get accepted.

Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects successfully.
Some of our prior
students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success again!

Hi Daan

I just noticed filter for issues on gsoc2018 [1] doesn't show all of them
when filtered by CLOUDSTACK
project, if you haven't logged in. Is there a security setting somewhere to
make them public?

I guess it would be better for anyone to see the list, and not make them to
register first.
