Kathey and Dag Wanvik* *: Thanks to your help on GSOC, I have made some progress these days, now asking for more infomation.
What have I done: 1. I have checked out the code, and done some hacking with the instructions on wiki provided by you. Now, I have built my environment on Eclipse. 2. Downloaded db-derby-10.4.2.0-bin.zip, covered the Derby tutorial, did some sql test on ij, and found a bugger in it, which I will mention below. 3. I have created my JIRA account, and been assigned some issues to , i.e. DERBY-3991 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3991>, DERBY-3853<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3853> and DERBY-2769 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-2769>. I have provided patches for them, but not got much reply until now, maybe as it's weekend now. Besides, I planned to accept DERBY-3941<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3941> after getting comments from the issue creator. There are some more issues I feel interested, but not able to do at this moment as lack of related knowledge, :). As I have learned Database and familiar with java development on Eclipse, it's not hard to get familiar with the source code as I imagined. The most important reason is that, documents for DERBY is very detailed and helpful for new comers. What I wonder: 1. About a bug in 'Step 4: Derby Network Server' of 'DERBY Turial'( http://db.apache.org/derby/papers/DerbyTut/ns_intro.html). There is a redundant inclusion on derby.jar for configuring environment to start or stop the Network Server. I have make a diff file, but don't know whether it's suitable to create a new issue for a URL, so I attach it with this letter, and wish for adopting. 2. How many students will be accepted by DERBY this year? I have seen there were 3 on 2008 on WIKI, is this year too? And how many applicants until now? 3. As I have some lab stuff to deal with before summer, I will do my contribution mainly on weekends, just like this week. Is that OK? 4. I'm interested in both 'derby-testandfix ' and 'derby-dblook-authorization', and the latter can also be considered as a form of 'fix'. I want to apply for ''derby-dblook-authorization'', does my existing work support my application on it ? 5. Is it proper for me to submit my application now ? Or is there still anything else I need do before apply? Wish for your reply! Thanks! Regards Yun
