Summary: GSOC: Apache Commons bug bounty Key: COMMONSSITE-103 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE-103 Project: Commons All Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Stian Soiland-Reyes [Apache Commons|https://commons.apache.org/] is a project that manage a series of independent Java libraries called [components|https://commons.apache.org/components.html]. Some of the perhaps most well known components include [commons-io|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/], [commons-lang|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/], [commons-collections|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/] and [commons-cli|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-cli/] But did you know that Commons is also managing some more specialized components like [commons-crypto|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-crypto/], [commons-numbers|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-numbers/], [commons-rng|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-rng/] and [commons-rdf|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-rdf/] ? The potential GSOC student will propose an idea to work with one or more chosen Apache Commons components to churn through any outstanding Jira issues, update for Java 8/9, improve web site, documentation or testing. As the appropriate GSOC mentor will depend slightly on which Commons component the student is interested in, prospective students are encouraged to engage early by subscribing and posting to [dev@commons|https://lists.apache.org/list.html?d...@commons.apache.org] using the subject tag [GSOC] and the commons component(s) they are intested in, e.g. {quote} To: d...@commons.apache.org Subject: [GSOC] [Crypto] Potential GSOC idea Hi, I am Alice, student at Foo university, and I am interested in GSOC for Apache Commons, in particular Commons Crypto as I have been quite involved in cryptography protocols over the years together with my friend Bob. What could be a good chunk of work to get started with? Perhaps adding support for rot13? {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
