Re: Contribute to Apache Software Foundation

2018-09-22 Thread Dmitriy Pavlov
Hi Raghav,

Unfortunately, I don't know much about GSOC. But you can select any project
you like.

Projects sorted by language can be found here:
https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?language
and by topic here: https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?category
That might help you to narrow down the options.

Once you select a project you interested to contribute to, you can contact
with contributors (developers) there. If you need help getting introduced
to the project community, please don't hesitate to ask.

Usually, a project has a guide on how to contribute and provides a list of
easy tickets to start with. Probably I will be able to help with guiding
you in that project.

Welcome aboard!

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

Re: Survey Request from Sherae Daniel

2018-09-22 Thread sharan

Kevin - thanks for the introduction!

Hi Sherae

We have many people from other Apache projects that are subscribed to 
the Community Development (ComDev) mailing list that could be interested 
in participating in the survey or help spreading the word about it. I 
think that ComDev could help support your survey request by using our 
mailing list to:


 * post details about the survey
 * post the link to the survey
 * send out a reminder to complete the survey

We could also use our ComDev twitter account to tweet the above details.

Please let me know if this will be OK for you.

Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sherae,

We get a lot of requests for surveys apparently so sending it to our
entire committers list is not popular.  However, the board has deferred
the request to our Community Development and Sharan Foga is our VP of
that group.

Sharan, I sent her request separately.  Could you please let her and I
know how we might be able to support her request?

> Are you able to see my CFP?

Yes! I see that it is submitted.  I'll be reviewing them so I haven't
looked further so I don't prejudge the submissions.  We have 21
submissions to date.

Regards,

KAM

Sherae Daniel Survey Request

2018-09-22 Thread Kevin A. McGrail
The board did not like the idea of sending a survey to committers@.  I
think this one is different because they came to us via a project
(Fineract) and they want to do a presso at an event we are doing with an
OSS career topic.

To me, it's well aligned and would justify the exception.

The issue has been deferred to ComDev.  Will send another email in a
moment with Sherae.



 Forwarded Message 
Subject:Fwd: Fineract Developer Careers
Date:   Tue, 18 Sep 2018 16:46:54 -0400
From:   Kevin A. McGrail 
To: Apache Board 
CC: fundrais...@apache.org 



Directors,

Sherae Daniel, Ph.D., at University of Cincinatti wishes to solicit our
committers for a survey on OSS and Careers.  She would then be
interested in presenting the results at the roadshow.  They are willing
to make a donation to the ASF as well.  Her introduction letter and CV
are attached.

I think it's an interesting idea that I support with or without the
donation.  Because it's for Academia, I support the request that I would
likely decline for a corporation.  Any history on such requests?  Does
the board have feedback on how fundraising should respond to the request?

Regards,
KAM
