GSoC Twitter card integration
Hi Bloodhound mailinglist,
Allow me to introduce myself:
I'm Andreas Weigel, a final year undergraduate in computer science
from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany.
After using tools and frameworks of apache software foundation i would
like to give something back to the open source community and would
like to participate in this years GSoC in an apache project.
I'm interested in the idea adding social media integration into a
software development collaboration tool (issue:
https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/480). Using redmine and
chiliproject i'm experienced in using such tools.
I also have developing experience by first working two years in the
research center for information technology in Karlsruhe, Germany and
since two years as a student in a software developing company.
Developing experience include Java, JSP, JS, jQuery, CSS, Twitter
Bootstrap, HTML, mySQL, Spring, Spring MVC, Tiles, Spring Data,
OpenCms, Maven, GIT/SVN, Jenkins, Sonar, Tomcat, Jetty, SCRUM
Can you please provide more information about this project and tell me
what the next steps are to move on?
Thanks!

Willkommen Andreas!
I think good first steps would be to install Bloodhound on your development
environment and familiarize yourself with it by tackling one of the tickets
we've listed for beginners/starters in our Wiki:
https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/wiki/BloodhoundContributing
I noticed that you don't mention Python as part of your development
experience, so this would be a great way for you to see how comfortable you
are with it, especially in the Bloodhound context.
Depending on how that works for you, you may find out that just the Twitter
card integration may be too small a task to be enjoyable and for you to
learn from. You're welcome of course to come up with additional suggestions
tackling problems that you are interested in, like Gary said.
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Andreas,
Great to hear from you.
It might be worth mentioning at this point that we should be actively
encouraging students to come up with suggestions for projects themselves
if they wish to. It may be difficult to judge whether #480 would be the
right level of challenge for you at this point but you might want to
consider this (or any of the other ideas) as a starting point for coming
up with your own project. You obviously want to be doing something that
will interest you but also something you will also have a reasonable
expectation to complete within the project timeframe.
Anyway, if you have not already done so, you should probably create an
account for yourself on https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ and I will
be happy to give you the appropriate permissions to raise tickets if you
want to. It may also be worth checking out the source code for the
project to get some basic familiarity with it.
Joe, Brane: do we currently have any more advice on next steps for
prospective students than making sure that they have first followed the
advice here: http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html
Cheers,
Gary
