Hello everyone, OWB is taking part in the Google Summer of Code (GSOC) program in 2020 with the following project: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/OWB/issues/OWB-1319
In short: it's about building an injectable IoC centric, small and lightweight HTTP server and making it runnable as a native executable. My name is Alex and I'm the student that was accepted by Google and The Apache Software Foundation/OWB with his project proposal. In the next months (until end of August) I will be spending the bigger part of my time working on the project, together with mentors Thomas Andraschko and Romain Manni-Bucau. The first working step will be setting up a maven sample project with Netty and just try to get it runnable, so I can handle it. The follow-up task will be the specification of the HTTP API, where input from the community will be required, i. e. what will be the requirements/capabilities for this API in the end? Romain already has some specific ideas on that, but maybe someone has more to discuss. For further information on the program and a short description of the project feel free to check out the website of GSOC: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#4882645810413568 I am excited to learn about open source development and become a part of the community, and I'm looking forward to working with everyone in the following months. Thank you all for your attention and best regards, Alexander Fischer
