Hi Apostolis, Thanks for the wiki entry. I think this is an excellent idea (even if it is not one I would have picked myself as I have never used Oracle products before). I think we can definitely consider it is a possible project for this years GSoC project. On the first instance, I would ask you to look further here (1) as it gives you some valuable resources. Additionally, I would strongly advise you to get on to our Jira instance and attempt to pick some low hanging fruit with regards to addressing some Gora issues. This goes a long way within the determination criteria for students, proposals and mentors to be accepted for the program. Thanks for the updates. Lewis

I chose to work with the Oracle NoSQL database because I am familiar with the Oracle ecosystem (being an Oracle certified myself) and its good documentation. Oracle NoSQL database provides some unique features compared to other NoSQL databases, such as its deep integration with the Oracle Database and the Big Data Appliance, its absolute consistency, etc. Finally, its share in the enterprise market is not negligible and these users could benefit with this Gora module. > I am happy to hear your comments. > Best regards, > Apostolos > On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 11:40 PM, Lewis John Mcgibbney < [email protected]> wrote: >> >> Most certainly. >> I would encourage you to apply. >> There are various ways we go about this. >> 1.

As this is a summer project, I wil start around the end of May. Until then, I'll read about Gora and the tutorial that it is online. If you have any other material that would be useful to me that would be great. Also, since my project is similar to the one that was done in G.S.O.C 2012, any material that was used / produced in that project would be really helpful for me too. >>>>> Kind regards, >>>>> Apostolos >>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> Lewis >>> >> >> >> >> -- >> Lewis > > -- *Lewis*
