Google Summer of Code

Hello,
The Apache Foundation was accepted as a mentor institution in the Google 
Summer
of Code programme last year and I believe the same will happen this year.

I would like to enter the internship programme with Ofbiz when Google 
starts accepting
student applications on March 18th. I have been learning and developing 
with Ofbiz for almost a year.

Ideas from the community will be appreciated.  I am considering working 
on the ofbiz-eclipse plugin, automated testing and things bothering on 
framework development.

Kind Regards,
Kojo Gambrah-Sampaney

Hi,

Nothing really new, just to get an idea, here is a link with some GSoC project proposals

If we could have the minilang, screen, form and other model components in ofbiz being tied into the debugger (break points, single step, etc...), that would remove one the largest complains about using these tools....

Re: Google Summer of Code

Posted by kg...@gmail.com.
Google announced the participating organisation for this years summer 
internship programme and as was to be expected, the Apache Software 
Foundation made it once more.

It however appears to me that the Ofbiz community needs to do more to 
position itself to recruit students through the programme. A good way to 
do this is to come out with a list of project topics that the community 
will like to see work on and also a call for mentors.

On the eclipse plugin however, I realise it is more than a tool to make 
browsing ofbiz artefacts easily. I also has the really important feature 
of checking constraints across artefacts. This can be used to 
significantly prevent a whole class of errors. Also I think it may be 
possible to use it to provide code completion in eclipse since it is 
'aware' of entity definitions and Java code - an issue raised in the 
brainstorming thread on the data tier.

Kojo Gambrah

Anyway as it's ASL2 licensed you can do what you want with it and even create a new project if you want.
Also please note http://markmail.org/message/xhdgjrac6wzdlpbb
I think the best would be to keep it as a part of OFBiz...

I am taking a look at the source files for the eclipse plugin by Anders 
Hessellund from here 
<http://www.itu.dk/%7Ehessellund/smartemf/index.php?page=sourcecode>. 
Glad to see that it is licensed under the Apache license.

Something that occurred to me was the "jurisdiction" of this project. Is 
it an Ofbiz project or an Eclipse project at least by the Google summer 
of code <http://socghop.appspot.com> programme.

Kojo.
