--------------------------------------

Hi [~ayd]!

As a first step, it would be nice to get familiar with Flink and Gelly. I would 
suggest you take a look in the [Flink documentation | 
http://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-0.8/] and the [Gelly 
guide | 
http://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/gelly_guide.html]. Also, 
go through the [Flink examples | 
http://github.com/apache/flink/tree/master/flink-examples] and the [Gelly 
examples | 
http://github.com/apache/flink/tree/master/flink-staging/flink-gelly/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/graph/example].
 Once you're confident enough, you can pick one of the [starter issues | 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-992?jql=project%20%3D%20FLINK%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20starter]
 and try to make your first contribution to Flink :-)

For GSoC, you will have to write up a proposal for a project. If you're 
interested in working on Gelly, I can help you with that!
Make sure you subscribe to the mailing lists and let us know if you have any 
questions!

> GSoC project: Graph partitioning operators for Gelly
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: FLINK-1536
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1536
>             Project: Flink
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: Gelly, Java API
>            Reporter: Vasia Kalavri
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: graph, gsoc2015, java

> Smart graph partitioning can significantly improve the performance and 
> scalability of graph analysis applications. Depending on the computation 
> pattern, a graph partitioning algorithm divides the graph into (maybe 
> overlapping) subgraphs, optimizing some objective. For example, if 
> communication is performed across graph edges, one might want to minimize the 
> edges that cross from one partition to another.
> The problem of graph partitioning is a well studied problem and several 
> algorithms have been proposed in the literature. The goal of this project 
> would be to choose a few existing partitioning techniques and implement the 
> corresponding graph partitioning operators for Gelly.
> Some related literature can be found [here| 
> http://www.citeulike.org/user/vasiakalavri/tag/graph-partitioning].
