Hi Gerard, Thanks for your reply! I was thinking about contribution connected with the new DAGs UI or preparing REST API for Command Line Interface. These topics seems to be reasonable for GSoC (probably not 100% of these tasks can be completed in three/four months but maybe some parts/tasks?).
I'll ask for more information on Gitter or in another email :) Thanks, Jakub Powierza > On 7 Mar 2017, at 14:19, Gerard Toonstra <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Jakub, > > Thanks for considering airflow as a GSoc project.
