[ANN] Apache participating in Outreachy May-Aug 2021 - call for
project proposals and mentors
Apache is participating once again in the Outreachy program [1], a
remote internship program where interns contribute to free and open
source software communities over a three month full-time stipend. This
program is somewhat comparable to Google Summer of Code, though the
eligibility requirements for both projects and interns are somewhat
different. Outreachy's goal is to support people from groups
underrepresented in the technology industry. Outreachy interns will
work remotely with mentors on projects ranging from programming, user
experience, documentation, illustration, and graphic design, to data
science.
An FAQ [2] is available for those looking for details on project and
mentor requirements. If you would like to mentor, co-mentor, or
otherwise get involved in making a project proposal (or multiple
proposals), register at [3] and click "Submit a Project Proposal" to
mentor a new proposal or follow the other form to co-mentor an
existing project proposal once available.
Questions can be emailed to dev@diversity.apache.org mailing list or
to the Apache Outreachy coordinators directly at
mattsicker@apache.org, katia@apache.org, and awasum@apache.org, or
they can be sent to #outreachy-general on the-asf.slack.com.
## Timeline
07 Mar 2021: deadline for mentors to submit project proposals
15 Mar 2021: beginning of applicant contribution period
16 Apr 2021: end of applicant contribution period
10 May 2021: deadline for selecting interns from applicants
12 May 2021: intern selection finalized by Outreachy
17 May 2021: intern selection publicly announced
24 May 2021: beginning of internship
24 Aug 2021: end of internship (can be extended if necessary)

We also can add `statistics` tasks to the list
(couple of JIRAs regarding OM/room attendance reports)

I can put myself as a mentor and we can see what applicants are applying
for it.

this one is questionable :(
such code needs to be completely turned OFF in production
Is it possible?
if no, it will live in a separate branch forever :(

Fwd: [ANN] Apache participating in Outreachy May-Aug 2021 - call for
project proposals and mentors
Posted by "seba.wagner@gmail.com" <se...@gmail.com>.
This seems like a nice little initiative.
What would be good proposals for potential internship projects ?
Ideas would be:
1. Improvements to OpenMeetings migration of building JavaScript using
NPM and moving more of the current code into NPM modules
2. Improvements to the Conference room testing application (add more
metrics and tests, convert to stand alone application)
3. Improvements to OpenMeetings API & Integration - Improve API, create
a swagger document in OpenAPI format automatically from the code, add and
improve APIs
4. Improvements to OpenMeetings performance logging and metrics -
Improve ability to quickly extract performance metrics in order to measure
and propose changes to scale OpenMeetings with large volume of users
I think 1/2/3 are good topics for an internship. 4 is quite advanced,
requires quite specific performance metrics and relevant background
knowledge. Which might be hard for a student. But we could try.
Thanks,
Seb
