Greetings, Apologies in advance for the spam! Since I suppose some of you are not on -hackers (maybe for completely understandable reasons given the throughput of emails), I thought it would be worth to drop GSoC information on project specific lists. Please feel free to let me know if you have any idea or project that could use some love from a contributor! --- Our beloved Google Summer of Code is back for 2022! They have once again changed some of how GSoC is going to work for this year, for a variety of reasons, so please be sure to read this email and posts linked for the updates if you're interested! In short, this year both medium and large sized projects can be proposed, with more flexibility on end dates. Everyone interested in suggesting projects or mentoring should review the blog post here regarding the changes: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/11/expanding-google-summer-of-code-in-2022.html Now is the time to work on getting together a set of projects we'd like to have GSoC students work on over the summer. Similar to last year, we need to have a good set of projects for students to choose from in advance of the deadline for mentoring organizations. HOWEVER, as noted in the blog post above, project length expectations have changed. Please decide accordingly based on your requirements and availability! Also, there is going to be only one intermediate evaluation, similarly to last year. GSoC timeline: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline One other thing to note is that anyone over the age of 18 will be eligible in 2022 in addition to students, broadening the pool of potential applicants and changing the terminology of applicants to "contributors". The deadline for Mentoring organizations to apply is: February 21. The list of accepted organization will be published around March 7. Unsurprisingly, we'll need to have an Ideas page again, so I've gone ahead and created one (copying last year's): https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2022 Google discusses what makes a good "Ideas" list here: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list.html All the entries are marked with '2021' to indicate they were pulled from last year. If the project from last year is still relevant, please update it to be '2022' and make sure to update all of the information (in particular, make sure to list yourself as a mentor and remove the other mentors, as appropriate). Please also be sure to update the project's scope to be appropriate for the new guidelines. New entries are certainly welcome and encouraged, just be sure to note them as '2022' when you add them. Projects from last year which were worked on but have significant follow-on work to be completed are absolutely welcome as well - simply update the description appropriately and mark it as being for '2022'. When we get closer to actually submitting our application, I'll clean out the '2021' entries that didn't get any updates. Also - if there are any projects that are no longer appropriate (maybe they were completed, for example and no longer need work), please feel free to remove them. The page is still work in progress, so it's entirely possible I missed some updates where a GSoC project was completed independently of GSoC (and if I removed any that shouldn't have been - feel free to add them back by copying from the 2021 page). As a reminder, each idea on the page should be in the format that the other entries are in and should include: - Project title/one-line description - Brief, 2-5 sentence, description of the project - Description of programming skills needed and estimation of the difficulty level - Project size - List of potential mentors - Expected Outcomes Let's have another great year of GSoC with PostgreSQL! Thanks! Ilaria & Stephen [1]: https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/news-and-events/
