Hi Cameleers, the deadline for this is tomorrow, does anyone have the ambition/time to mentor or at least can we identify some issues that we would like a student to work on?
I think it would be a good opportunity to get someone contributing/helping/getting started with Camel 3 effort. zoran ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ulrich Stärk <u...@apache.org> Date: Tue, Jan 29, 2019 at 1:24 PM Subject: Google Summer of Code 2019 is coming To: 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 by no later than 2019-01-31 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later) 1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2]. 2. record your project ideas. Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2019, 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, ...). 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 2019 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 might 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! P.S.: this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.
