Hi Supun, Sanchit, Vijayendra, As Mentores we should not dictate what projects you write proposals, but let me summarize all the projects and let you come to a consensus of who does what.
* Re-architecting Airavata Data Management — Sachith is working on this proposal. * EC2 provider to be updated and ported to use JClouds - I see Nipun is working on a proposal * Integrating Airavata with GenApp (presented on gsoc hangout) - Nadeem is working on this proposal Supun already has a proposal submitted for refactoring the web ui and xbaya. Here are the fuzzy boarders: * Web UI from last year has six gsoc projects (including the admin dashboard). This year they should not amount to more than a project or two to update them to directly use thrift API and integrate with the a separate Airavata Web UI builds. * XBaya is a beast. It has too many parts. Supun has touched on this, but it does not hurt to have a project fully focused on it/ * The Thrift Client - Server Security/Identity Server is an idea for some one to pick up. With the deadline less than 48 hours, I am worried it may be too late. But on a good side, this can be modeled on how Evernote has been implementing their own security (dev.evernote.com) and if some spends enough time on thrift developer list, it should not be too hard to mimic for Airavata. I will be happy to work with any one interested to explain this project. Suresh On Mar 19, 2014, at 2:54 PM, Vijayendra Grampurohit <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Suresh > > Yes.
