GSoC
Hi,
Today the mentoring organisations can begin submitting applications to
Google.
Is there anything we need to do? I will look into updating the issue
tracker as needed.

Thanks., good ideas.
I'm considering mentoring again, BSP-based mat-mult and BSP-based
graph partitioning (clustering) seems good candidates.

Hi Edward,
I'm not directly interested in metoring, however we should start slicing
some issues.
Since we always advertise that we are good for matrix computations we
should start considering some issues regarding it.
e.g:
* Matrix inversion
* Matrix multiplication (HAMA-220)
* Matrix transposition (ideally should be part of multiplication, e.G. like
in the BLAS implementations C = alpha * op(A) * op(B) + beta * C, where A
and B should be transposable).
For fault tolerance I guess that HAMA-509 (Make BSPMaster fault tolerant)
would be a good GSoC project.
I would be glad if I can work on one of the issues during GSoC, however I'd
be an unofficial mentor anyways.
Best Regards,
Thomas.

I will try to promote the project a bit more in some local communities
to make them aware they have this option.
Thanks Patrick!

It turned out really well. You need to find good projects (the list
Andrei sent looks good) and find a good student. The gsoc process
helps with this (there are multiple vetting steps along the way). It's
good publicity for the project and you'll likely get something useful
at the end.
Just be sure to clearly define the projects you're interested in
having students work on, then follow the gsoc process. I ended up
spending just a few hours a week mentoring Andrei, but there is
definitely some overhead for this that a mentor should take into
account. You want the student/project to be successful and hopefully
become an active community member.

Patrick can you share your GSoC experience as a mentor at ZooKeeper?
