Hi Thamali, thank you for your interest!
First thing to do with any opensource project is to get yourself familiar with it, see what Zeppelin is, what it does, how it works and how to build it [0]. Involvement in community is the key as well - try finding an issue people are having on the public mailing list [1] and help them (research, reproduce, fix, etc). Especially important for this project would be to read the code and understand how multiple NotebookRepo implementations [4] work - that might require engaging with community and contribution updates to the docs, which will be a huge bonus to your further application proposal. Next step would be - drafting a proposal or application for this project. Please read very carefully general advices on how to do it and what is expected from good proposal in 2 other threads related to GSoC [2] and [3]. The main goal for this project would be - to get at least one new NotebookRepo implementation using p2p technology, that supports notebook visioning merged by the end of the summer. Important part of that work work would be comparing available p2p alternatives and their tech stacks on applicability for our use-case (available clients for JVM, read\write throughput, etc) and documenting that along the way in wiki and blog posts. One more potential aspect of this work is an adjustment the UI of Zeppelin, to fit better for the notebook visioning (which is right now only supported in GitNotebookRepo and does not have much UI) Hope this helps, this very interesting project indeed and I'm looking forward helping with proposals! 0. http://zeppelin.incubator.apache.org/docs/0.6.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/ 1. http://zeppelin.incubator.apache.org/community.html 2. http://markmail.org/thread/j53j7d4rsiisewfb 3. http://markmail.org/message/naocktanol5iuot3 4. http://zeppelin.incubator.apache.org/docs/0.6.0-incubating-SNAPSHOT/storage/storage.html -- Alex On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 8:07 PM, Thamali Wijewardhana < thamaliw...@cse.mrt.ac.lk> wrote: > Hi, > > I am a third year Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at > University of Moratuwa,Sri Lanka.
