Hi all, Do we have any experience doing this? In my view we should have a try, as a whole of ApacheDS project instead of sub-project each so that any mentored contributors can be ready to work on any part of the whole.

Apache Software Foundation as an organization has been participating in GSOC since 2010. Links to successful projects in the past are (you'll have to filter them by organization): 2010 (39 projects by Apache)<https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2010>, 2011(35 projects)<https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2011>, 2012(38 projects)<https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2012>, 2013(44 projects)<https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2013> and 2014(33 projects)<https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/projects/list/google/gsoc2014>. Apache DS has been working on interesting projects for quite sometime now and involvement in GSOC will attract more Open Source Contributions. As a mentoring organization in GOSC, Apache DS can get done modules and parts of their code through interns who will be paid by GSOC. Apache DS will have to provide a mentor for each student they select. More information about being a mentor organization can be found here<http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2015/help_page#1._What_is_a_mentoring_organization>. As a mentor organization, you will have to submit a proposal of the sub-project you are interested in having interns for from 9th February 2015 to 20th February.<https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015> I am glad that you find this interesting. Since my aim is to participate in GSOC as a student intern, yes, I would actively like to investigate and contribute to Apache DS to participate in this event. Do let me know if you would like to be a mentor or someone from the community would be interested, and if there is anything I could do to support so. Meanwhile, I am going through the sub-tasks and understanding the projects in order to contribute to them. Thanks!

Interesting! Maybe you could help think about it and give your thoughts why ApacheDS (or its sub-projects) should/would consider that. Something like the benefits, possibilities, successful example cases (for an Apache project) and howto. This will be a very interesting topic, would you help investigate and contribute? Thanks.

After going through the descriptions of all sub-projects, I would like to contribute to Database (Mavibot) or Web UI (Fortress) areas as these are my strengths. However, I am also interested in taking up protocol implementation for Kerby if it lies within my capability. As I mentioned to Kai, I could get started with a few basic tasks/solving bugs. If you could yourself assign me a part of testing/coding considering my newness with the project. Or I could help you get started with building the website and documentation as listed in the issues list and later take up some coding work. I also had a question: Will Apache DS be interested in mentoring as a part of Google Summer of Code 2015 as my major aim to contribute is participating in the same program.

Now, we have many of them, and it would be better if you were to give us a quick insight about what technical area you are the most interested in, and which specific project you would like to work on. Typically, here is a list of the sub-project we are working on : - ApacheDS, the Apache LDAP Server (12 years old, 221,237 SLOCs). - Studio, the eclipse based LDAP brower (10 years old, SLOCs) - Ldap APi, the Apache LDAP API (7 years old, 208,923 SLOCs) - Mavibot, the MVCC Btree (3 years old, 23,999 SLOCs) - eSCIMo, the SCIM implementation (2 years old, no release yet, 7,125 SLOCs) - Fortress, the RBAC API and engine (6 months old, no release yet, 67,578 SLOCs) - Kerby, the Kerberos server (1 month old, no release yet, 31,376 SLOCs) I ordered them by their inception date, from the oldest (12 years) to the most recent (Kerby, 1 month). (SLOCS means 'single lone of code', ie pure code without the blank line and comments) There are various technical areas here, from Data base (Mavibot), protocol implementation (ApacheDS, Kerby), server side java (ApacheDS, Fortress, Kerby), Client side API (LDAP API, eSCIMo, Fortress, Kerby), Eclipse GUI (Studio), Web UI (Fortress). We also need some more tests, a tool that run tests through a distributed ste of agents (and I'll have a small peice of code that does that with Rapberry pi soon), etc. What fits you the best ? Thanks !
