Fw: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Do we want to do some GSoC mentoring in the summer?

This is a great chance to get something self-contained done.

Of course, it must (a) be something interesting and (b) have the guarantee of support from the rest of the team. The goal is to get someone used to developing OSS projects, as part of a team: not coding on their own fixing random JIRAs.

Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings),

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 by no later than
2015-02-13 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later)

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

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2015, 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.

Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang, python, brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...) and record them at [5].

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact dev@community.apache.org if you need assistance.

[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2015 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 might 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!

Cheers,

Uli

P.S.: Except for the private parts (label spreadsheet mostly), this email is free to be shared
publicly if you want to.

Some that come to my mind are:

* Time line server, integration
* Service Registry browser and API in Scala (e.g. some language other than
java)

Maybe we should start with some discussion on the list.

What do we think we could get someone with no knowledge of the project do in 3 months. Assuming Java coding skills, but probably not OSS & test-first processes?

What would we like them to do?
