Yes, Nasser already started on the OpenJPA to EclipseLink migration project and has even made progress to the extend of sending a draft PR: https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/928 . Lets be hopeful that Nasser gets this done earlier than expected but we could have a lot of surprises there. Remember the Hibernate to OpenJPA migration for Fineract 1.x?

We will likely look into re-enabling PMD and enforcing it: https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-1001 then fix major issues, warning, deprecations and errors as a result of the Java 11 upgrade ( see: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-959 ). The test coverage one is very important for the community, we may look at that given time. I am in a discussion with Percy to agree on some of these tasks atleast for the next 1 or 2 months scope of work. After that, we will look at the backlog and see what we can do. > *Natasha* > *Originally Natasha was going to work on some of the upgrades of core > dependencies like Spring Boot but that work has been completed so I wanted > to discuss and understand what her focus would be out of some of the areas > Michael had did a great job of summarizing at * > https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vt-jd2-IKr63HckskY4Ji9VTDN2JCAN2L-X5TsMdUn0/edit?usp=sharing > > We are also looking for additional individuals in the community to help > mentor Natasha in addition to Michael - @Aleksandar Vidakovic > <chee...@monkeysintown.com> @Sanyam Goel <sanyam.bvco...@gmail.com> @Rahul > Goel <rahul.usi...@gmail.com> and others would you be available? > > So for whatever time our interns have available and for any other > contributors in the community who want to get involved, we have work > related to: > > - Automating the Release Process - > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-876 so we can release > 1.3.1 and 1.4.0 and any future releases in a more timely fashion > - Performance and Scalability Enhancements - > https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-867 > - Kubernetes distribution packaging work - > > https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-882?jql=labels%20%3D%20kubernetes%20and%20project%20%3D%20fineract%20 > - Upgrading other 3rd party dependencies - > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-963 > - Addressing issues in the backlog - > > https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-867?filter=12345785&jql=project%20%3D%20FINERACT%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Reopened%2C%20Open)%20AND%20labels%20in%20(Volunteer%2C%20gsoc) > - Reviewing forthcoming PRs from partners - a number of partners have > some contributions that should have PRs opened for soon which could use > external review of > - Functional enhancements - minor feature enhancements in the backlog > or work related to other GSOC projects like accounting module enhancements > or collateral management, etc. > > > Thanks, > > Ed > > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to gsoc-mentors+unsubscr...@mifos.org. >
