Hi, Is this something Spark considering? Would be nice to mark issues as GSoC in JIRA and solicit feedback. What do you think?
Pozdrawiam, Jacek Laskowski ---- https://medium.com/@jaceklaskowski/ Mastering Apache Spark 2.0 https://bit.ly/mastering-apache-spark Follow me at https://twitter.com/jaceklaskowski ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ulrich Stärk <u...@apache.org> Date: Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 8:50 PM Subject: Google Summer of Code 2017 is coming To: ment...@community.apache.org Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings), Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing students to spend their summer working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for developing open source software full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and project ideas, and in return have the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to identify and bring in new committers. The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual projects don't have to apply separately. If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the following things as soon as possible but by no later than 2017-02-09: 1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2]. 2. record your project ideas. Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2017, and they will show up at [3]. Please be as specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the programming language, the tools and skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They are supposed to learn what's required before the program starts. Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang, python, brainfuck, ...) or technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...) and record them at [5]. Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your project doesn't use JIRA (e.g. httpd, ooo). Contact d...@community.apache.org if you need assistance. [4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2017 shortly). 3. subscribe to ment...@community.apache.org; restricted to potential mentors, meant to be used as a private list - general discussions on the public d...@community.apache.org list as much as possible please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one of your alias addresses on record). Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet, nevertheless you *have to* start recording your ideas now or we will not get accepted. Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects successfully. Some of our prior students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success again! Cheers, Uli P.S.: Except for the private parts (label spreadsheet mostly), this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.
