Re: [HACKERS] Need Mentors for Google Summer of Code!
Josh, I'm interested in selectivity functions for FTS, proposed by Jan Urbaski. In case there will be no available mentors for him, I'd work with him.

Today I'll post a more detailed plan on -hackers explaining how I think I could approach the problem. Oleg, should I contact you personally to consult the application that I'm going to submit through the Google web app, or should I just send it to Google when the gates open and wait for the results?

Jan, Oleg, should I contact you personally to consult the application that I'm going to submit through the Google web app, or should I just send it to Google when the gates open and wait for the results? Submit it to Google. We have the ability to update submissions if they need to be adjusted. -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
[HACKERS] Need Mentors for Google Summer of Code!
Hackers, Over the last 2 years, Google Summer of Code has been responsible for several new features of PostgreSQL: XML, ghost XID, phpPgAdmin upgrade, and more, as well as some new long-term contributors to the project. We want to have an equally good summer this year. So: we need PostgreSQL contributors to volunteer as mentors. As well as the core code, *any* project in the PostgreSQL family is eligible, including drivers, GUIs, documentation, replication, applications and tools. Don't be shy! Pass this along to sub-projects of PostgreSQL which might be eligible. Mentors must be patient, friendly, easy to stay in touch with, knowledgeable about their project areas, and able to commit to spending several hours a week helping their student(s) from May to August. GSOC is an unparalled opportunity for our project to recruit new contributors, and get students interested in databases. We have less than week to get everything together. So please respond soon! -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
