Hi all! GSoC is a good opportunity to get new community members and a good opportunity for you to mentor junior folks. If you have any ideas please record them (https://s.apache.org/gsoc2024ideas) *by 3rd Feb*.
As for some ideas, these are good opportunities for (i) some low hanging but low priority projects: usability, infra or website improvements, some new IOs or IO related features (ii) good for trying prototyping out stuff that we have not spend much time yet: ray on beam (iii) long awaiting projects that are well known but not prioritized: fixing known runner issues, running some benchmarks. Feel free to share this information with other relevant folks.

The ASF will be applying as a participating organization for GSoC 2024. As a part of the application we need you all to *mandatorily* start recording your ideas now [1] latest by 3rd Feb. There is slight change in the rules this year, just reiterating here: - For the 2024 program, there will be three options for project scope: medium at ~175 hours, large at ~350 hours and a new size: small at ~90 hours. Please add "*full-time*" label to the JIRA for 350 hour project , "*part-time*" label for 175 hours project and “*small*” for a 90 hour project. Note: They are looking to bring more open source projects in the AI/ML field into GSoC 2024, so we encourage more projects from this domain to participate. If you are a new mentor or your project is participating for the first time, please read [2][3]. On behalf of the GSoC 2024 admins, Please feel free to reach out to us in case of queries or concerns.
