I'd like to congratulate and welcome both Bhargav Golla and Prabhath Suminda for their projects being accepted in this year GSoC. The first phase of GSoC is when students get familiarized with the Mentors, project and technologies, so I'd recommend you guys start having discussions and getting familiar with Apache infrastructure and the "dev mailing list" where most of the discussions should happen.
