This seems like a nice little initiative.

What would be good proposals for potential internship projects ?

Ideas would be:

   1. Improvements to OpenMeetings migration of building JavaScript using
   NPM and moving more of the current code into NPM modules
   2. Improvements to the Conference room testing application (add more
   metrics and tests, convert to stand alone application)
   3. Improvements to OpenMeetings API & Integration - Improve API, create
   a swagger document in OpenAPI format automatically from the code, add and
   improve APIs
   4. Improvements to OpenMeetings performance logging and metrics -
   Improve ability to quickly extract performance metrics in order to measure
   and propose changes to scale OpenMeetings with large volume of users


I think 1/2/3 are good topics for an internship. 4 is quite advanced,
requires quite specific performance metrics and relevant background
knowledge. Which might be hard for a student. But we could try.

Thanks,
Seb

Subject: [ANN] Apache participating in Outreachy May-Aug 2021 - call for
project proposals and mentors
To: <[email protected]>
Cc: <[email protected]>, <[email protected]>


Apache is participating once again in the Outreachy program [1], a
remote internship program where interns contribute to free and open
source software communities over a three month full-time stipend. This
program is somewhat comparable to Google Summer of Code, though the
eligibility requirements for both projects and interns are somewhat
different. Outreachy's goal is to support people from groups
underrepresented in the technology industry. Outreachy interns will
work remotely with mentors on projects ranging from programming, user
experience, documentation, illustration, and graphic design, to data
science.

An FAQ [2] is available for those looking for details on project and
mentor requirements. If you would like to mentor, co-mentor, or
otherwise get involved in making a project proposal (or multiple
proposals), register at [3] and click "Submit a Project Proposal" to
mentor a new proposal or follow the other form to co-mentor an
existing project proposal once available.

Questions can be emailed to [email protected] mailing list or
to the Apache Outreachy coordinators directly at
[email protected], [email protected], and [email protected], or
they can be sent to #outreachy-general on the-asf.slack.com.

## Timeline

07 Mar 2021: deadline for mentors to submit project proposals
