Hi!
The PostgreSQL project has been accepted into the Google Summer of Code 2011.
Students may begin submitting proposals starting March 28, concluding
on April 8.
Development work runs from May 23 through August 15. For students,
suggested projects, ideas and details are at:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2011
Our GSoC landing page is at:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2011/postgresql
We encourage students to contact project admins - me, Josh Berkus and
Robert Treat this year - if they have questions. Once students have a
proposal in mind, we will encourage them to engage with pgsql-hackers
to flesh out their proposals and get feedback the same way that all
contributors do. For those of you who have been around for previous
GSoCs, this should be familiar to you. :)
Many thanks to the 15 volunteer mentors and admins this year (in no
particular order):
Dave Page - Former mentor - pgAdmin, Windows, Packaging, Infrastructure
Heikki Linnakangas - Postgres Committer
Magnus Hagander - Postgres Committer, Windows, pgAdmin
Guillaume Lelarge - pgAdmin
Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais - phpPgAdmin
Joe Abbate - Python-related, catalog-related projects
David E. Wheeler - Perl-related, extensions, PGXN
Mark Wong - benchmarking, monitoring, performance
Tatsuo Ishii - Postgres Committer, pgpool-II
Stephen Frost - Postgres contributor
Devrim Gündüz - Administration related software (dashboard)
Josh Berkus - auto-configuration, performance testing
Selena Deckelmann - configuration, testing
Andreas Scherbaum - performance, configuration, testing
Robert Treat - Past mentor 2x, co-admin, Mentor Summit attendee.
We can always accept more mentors! Actual assignment to projects
depends greatly on the proposals from students. Please contact me if
you are interested.
Thanks!
