Hi! The PostgreSQL project has been accepted into the Google Summer of Code 2011.
Students may begin submitting proposals starting March 28, concluding on April 8. Development work runs from May 23 through August 15. For students, suggested projects, ideas and details are at: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2011 Our GSoC landing page is at: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2011/postgresql We encourage students to contact project admins - me, Josh Berkus and Robert Treat this year - if they have questions. Once students have a proposal in mind, we will encourage them to engage with pgsql-hackers to flesh out their proposals and get feedback the same way that all contributors do. For those of you who have been around for previous GSoCs, this should be familiar to you. :) Many thanks to the 15 volunteer mentors and admins this year (in no particular order): Dave Page - Former mentor - pgAdmin, Windows, Packaging, Infrastructure Heikki Linnakangas - Postgres Committer Magnus Hagander - Postgres Committer, Windows, pgAdmin Guillaume Lelarge - pgAdmin Jehan-Guillaume de Rorthais - phpPgAdmin Joe Abbate - Python-related, catalog-related projects David E. Wheeler - Perl-related, extensions, PGXN Mark Wong - benchmarking, monitoring, performance Tatsuo Ishii - Postgres Committer, pgpool-II Stephen Frost - Postgres contributor Devrim Gündüz - Administration related software (dashboard) Josh Berkus - auto-configuration, performance testing Selena Deckelmann - configuration, testing Andreas Scherbaum - performance, configuration, testing Robert Treat - Past mentor 2x, co-admin, Mentor Summit attendee. We can always accept more mentors! Actual assignment to projects depends greatly on the proposals from students. Please contact me if you are interested.
