If you haven't heard yet, the Apache Software Foundation was selected as an organization for this year's Google Summer of Code [1]. I've seen activity on other Apache projects' mailing lists requesting ideas for issues, features, components, etc. that could be good proposals/ideas for GSoC, and I'd like to also make that request of this community.
As Michael Mior (of Apache Calcite PMC) eloquently put it: "It's no guarantee we would get someone to work on it, but it could be a good push to move some isolated bits of functionality forward that may not get much attention otherwise." Thoughts? Thanks in advance, Matt [1] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5718432427802624/
