Re: [HACKERS] Call for Google Summer of Code mentors, admins

2013-03-28 Thread Tomas Vondra
Hi,

I've been asked by a local student to be his mentor in GSoC. He is
interested in working on parallelizing hash join/aggregation.

So I'd like to volunteer to be a mentor for this project (if it gets
accepted).

I've asked him to post his project proposal on pgsql-students.

kind regards
Tomas

 I don't think that's a good GSoC project. There's no consensus on what to
 do, if anything, so 95% of the work is going to arguing over what we want,
 and 5% coding. I'd suggest finding something more well-defined.


You all right about we don't have no consensus on what to do, but maybe
this can be a opportunity to we do that.

I know a lot of people (friends, customers, users, ...) who would love to
have this feature in future versions of PostgreSQL.

Anyway there is another well defined feature which you recommend to a good
GSoC project?

Best regards,

 pg_upgrade support for debian's pg_upgradecluster

We'd need Peter to be the student for that one :)

I can certainly mentor some packaging/QA/web frontend project(s) in
the apt.postgresql.org area.

Hello, Josh.

JB Folks,

JB Once again, Google is holding Summer of Code.  We need to assess whether
JB we want to participate this year.

JB Questions:

JB - Who wants to mentor for GSOC?

JB - Who can admin for GSOC?  Thom?

JB - Please suggest project ideas for GSOC

My suggestion is to rewrite (add) pg_dump and pg_restore utilities as
libraries (.so, .dll  .dylib). For me as a developer it will be a cool
feature. And I can be a mentor for this project of course!

JB - Students seeing this -- please speak up if you have projects you plan

I forgot to mark all.

I could be a co mentor, helping in overall coordination and supporting all the 
students in getting familiar with the project and community etc.
