Hi All, Now that the ASF as well as the Mifos Initiative are going in for GSoC 2020, do we have project ideas for both GSoC and Outreachy 2020? This is a great way to have some features added and also add new members to our community.
I am currently exploring the idea of having one intern work on upgrading Fineract 1.x to Java 11 (latest LTS version of Java). I have created an issue here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-846 Is anyone interested to mentor that project? Michael already started doing some work wrt to Java 11 upgrade here: https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/609 Still to decide if upgrading to Java 11 is a project worth an interns time over 3 months or its just too small for 3 months. What do you think? What other major features do you think we could implement over GSoC and Outreachy 2020? Thanks.
