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.

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?
