Hi Kevin, also please keep in mind that the Apache Software Foundation has yet to be accepted as a mentoring organization. I don`t see any reason why this should not happen but the final decision will be made public on March 2nd 2015.

I will go through each and come up with more detail.

Basically all the information you need can be found on our website here: http://olingo.apache.org/ and the oasis OData website here: http://www.odata.org/ have a look at the V4 specification. About the json metadata topic: The issue you found is an initial draft of how the task could look like. Depending on how far the official specification is on publishing the final json metadata format the project goes forward. There are also many other possibilities when it comes to the json serialization. So the first and primary goal for this GSoC is to provide the json metadata document but if you are fast we can extend the scope for this project. If you have any questions about this don`t hesitate to write to the mailing list or comment on the Jira issue. You can also subscribe to our dev and users list by writing a mail to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> and [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> You should also know that this is the first time I mentor an GSoC project :-) Best Regards, Christian -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Ratnasekera [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: Dienstag, 17.

I successfully completed and participated in GSoC 2014. I also have open source industrial experience with WSO2 ( an open source middleware company ) where I acquired knowledge in the areas of SOA and Web services, technologies such as REST, SOAP, XML, JSON etc. I am interested in participating GSoC this year with Apache Olingo. I went through the Apache gsoc ideas list, found this "Implement OData Json Metadocument Serializer/Parser" project really interesting. Even though I got some background knowledge, I am new to OData and Olingo. I really appreciate, if a mentor could provide me some guidance to get things started and areas which I need to gather knowledge and improve. Regards Kevin .
