Re: [HACKERS] [pgsql-advocacy] GSoC 2014 - mentors, students and admins
Hi all, I'd very interesting in taking part in the GSoC with PostgreSQL, as a student. Being quite busy at the moment (exam time), I haven't had time to think of a subject yet, even though I could see some topics I found interesting. 2014-01-28 Josh Berkus j...@agliodbs.com On 01/28/2014 09:46 AM, Atri Sharma wrote: I would like to bring up the addition to MADLIB algorithms again this year.

Indeed, I've been unlucky last year when I tried to apply to a subject with Madlib, mostly due to their lack of reactivity. Even though their subjects interest me, I don't intend to try my luck again. Atri Sharma said: Also, some work on the foreign table constraints could be helpful.

IMO, the best place would be the wiki page for GSoC ( http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2014), it would avoid interested students (including me :) ) having to look for possible subjects in lots of different places.
