GSoC 2013 - A better interface for students to select projects
Currently, PMCs have been entering project ideas as JIRAs defects, and
students have been browsing a JIRA query that aggregates the ideas
from all PMCs.
I would like to make things a little more simple for the students to
find the project that best match their skiils or the areas of their
interest. The idea is to crawl our jira issues and add some more
metadata to the jira based on foap project details, and then present a
UI where students can have more choices to filter project ideas, like
by language (e.g. c or java ) , by area (e.g. cloud), etc
Thoughts ? Other possible things we could add on this tool ?

Hi All,
I am giving a talk on Tuesday about Student Engagement with Apache Projects - http://na.apachecon.com/schedule/presentation/134/. As I polish my slides, I realize the improvements on GSOC will be a great topic to brainstorm in this session.
Any volunteers to help me with this talk? I realize its last minute, but if Norin or Uli would like to summarize GSOC in this session that will be great as well. I will be traveling today to Portland but available all day tomorrow if we can chat in person.
Thanks,
Suresh

What I like about our current approach is that it filters out those who are not willing to work with
an issue tracker which is a fairly common thing to do as an open source developer. Concensus at the
summit seemed to be that it's a good idea to filter out those very early that are not willing to put
in some effort. We can ask our projects to give some more information about their ideas and have
them provide that information as labels in jira. Students can then filter for those labels.

I agree, but I think we can also use this tool more generic, where
people that is trying to get started with open source (via GSoC or
not) to find interesting ideas where they can contribute.

Sounds good, but beyond that we shouldn't hold the student's hands too
much IMO - we want those who are not ready to do their homework to
fail early ;-)
