Chris, I think it would be a good idea to check in with Ross who was our GSoC student last summer, and ask him for feedback on his experience with OODT. I hope he is listening to the dev list still, but if not we should check-in and see what he is doing now.
My hope is that if Ross gives us feedback (good or bad or both) we can work to improve this summer for our next GSoC student. My apologies in advance if you already did this when the GSoC last year was closed out. Just a few questions to get the feedback pump primed would be: Was the mini-project challenging enough? Did the OODT Devs provide enough information and support? Did you encounter anything that was frustrating or unnecessarily difficult? Any thoughts? -Cam chee On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 12:24 PM, Mattmann, Chris A (388J) < chris.a.mattm...@jpl.nasa.gov> wrote: > [Sorry for cross posting] > > Guys, > > FYI please note that you can participate as a mentor from a PMC via Apache > as they are a GSoC org.
