https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html might be of help.
If you are looking to talk to other Apache projects that have done this before, you could reach out on the dev@community.a.o list. https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r189a563fe003ad8f0e4c298e18fad4da8d4b2854bd2a5d741ae3ac45%40%3Cdev.community.apache.org%3E Note the dependency on JIRA: > All ASF projects are invited to submit their ideas to their issue tracker, > please be sure to add the labels “gsoc2021” and “mentor” so that we can > automatically include them in our list of subjects. If your project does not > use JIRA please contact d...@community.apache.org. so you'll need to post at dev@community to get included in the master list. Student applications start tomorrow for 2 weeks, so you'll need to get a move on... If I'm around on chat I can try and help a bit. -Joan On 29/03/2021 01:20, Bessenyei Balázs Donát wrote: > If there are any projects that don't exceed my CouchDB / erlang / JS > knowledge, I'd make sure I'm available enough to support someone doing > a GSoC with us. > What's the workflow here?
