Hi Andreas,
Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, I am an ASF committer... Just not to
PDFBox.. . I do have domain expertise being a full-time FOP developer
and having dealt with PDFs and fonts quite a bit. Should I pop an
email to dev-community to see if it's ok? It seems like such a waste
to have an interested applicant but no mentor...
I'm not an GSoC expert but that sounds good to me. You may double check with the
dev-community, but IMHO it's not necessary.
I'm glad that you volunteer to help us, thanks in advance. I'll try to help as
much as I can.

Hi Andreas,
Does the mentor need to be a PDFBox committer? If not, I wouldn't mind
putting myself forward as a candidate... Of course, that is if no one
else does.
Thanks for the offer, but AFAIKT it's not possible. According to [1] the
mentor has to be an ASF member or committer.

Hi,
I'm university student in Sri Lanka and a newbie to Open Source
Development. I would like to participate for Google Summer of Code 2012
with an Apache Project. Since I'm familiar with Java and I have used
PDFBox
Library for my academic project, I like to develop new feature for
PDFBox
as my GSoC project. First of all I want to know that is it possible to
participate for GSoC 2012 with PDFBox project?
If it is yes, I want help from PDFBox development community to select
appropriate PDFBox task for GSoC.
There is a lot to do and I'm sure that some of those jobs should qualify
as
GSoC task.
If you have any idea about good project or advice for me, please reply
to
this.
You will need a mentor and I'm not sure if you will find one among our
ranks. I'd like to support you, but I can't do it due to personal
reasons.
Anybody else?
