Hello, everyone!
I'm a student eager for this GSOC on Derby. So far, I have browse some useful
information on the derby website and joined the
development mailing list. Could anybody give me some advice, please? I have
some questions below:
1. Where can I see the ideas this GSOC?
2. Who are mentors this GSOC?
3. What can I do to make a better preparation before applying?
Thanks a lot!

In the Derby project, we track issues and projects using Jira.
You can see some of the previous GSOC projects in Derby by going to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY
then clicking on the "Labels" tab, and then clicking on the "gsoc" label.
There is one currently open GSOC project in Derby right now, I believe:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4586
Another project which the Derby community usually runs is the "test-and-fix"
project, which is a great project for newcomers to Derby. You can see
previous Derby GSOC proposals on the GSOC website, I believe, and you
can see some of the results of last year's test-and-fix project here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4609
Students may propose projects, just as mentors can. In fact, any member
of the community can propose a GSoC project and can label a Derby issue
as appropriate for GSoC work.
For general information about the Google Summer of Code, there is a VAST
amount of information at the Google web site:

The best resource for new students is the student manual at:

Good luck, I hope this gets you started!
thanks,
