Re: GSoC21 Mentor Eligibility

[Andrija Panic]

I agree - as long as we can "trust" the person to be a good enough mentor
i.e. to be skillfull enough with CloudStack in terms of it's architecture
and coding - otherwise it can be a "bad marketing" to allow about anyone to
do it.

Re: GSoC21 Mentor Eligibility

[Paulo Motta]

I have mentored a GSoC student without being a committer back in 2016 (but
with a committer as co-mentor), it was a great experience and helped in my
path to committership. I think we should definitely encourage non-committer
mentors, as long as there is a committer as co-mentor or recognition by the
PMC.

Re: GSoC21 Mentor Eligibility

[Maxim Solodovnik]

I would say there are no hard limits here :)
The only thing that is MUST: mentor should be ACKed by PMC

But IMO mentoring will be much easier with commit access to the project :)

Hi Rohit,

You can check guide to being a mentor from here:

It is explained as:


*ASF Members and committers can volunteer to mentor or co-mentor proposals.*

GSoC21 Mentor Eligibility

[Rohit Yadav]

All,

Does ASF require that mentors for GSoC21 are committers or PMC members
of the project, or can it be any community contributor recognised by
PMCs?

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2018! [1,2]

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your
community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to ment...@community.apache.org
you should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3] and
PMC acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor
projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org*. We will
use the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to
ensure the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for
acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc
ment...@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my
previous emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already done so,
record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

Uli

Re: Mentor

[Yiping Zhang]

Hi, David:

I am speaking as a CloudStack user/admin/operator here.

Here is an issue which really really drives me crazy, but should be relatively 
easy for a java developer to work on:  improving error log messages!

Here is a specific example: when deploying a VM instance fails, often the error 
message simply says “InsufficientServerCapacityException: Unable to create a 
deployment”  along with a stack trace, but without any easily understandable 
information.  I have encountered this error for at least a dozen different 
reasons.  This message really can be improved to provide more context and human 
understandable output to help CloudStack admins to troubleshoot the real 
problem.

Good luck.

Yiping

[DISCUSS] personal mentoring program (was: Mentor)

[Daan Hoogland]

people, I have answered David and Prakesh on a personal note to get them
started.

When I started at cloudstack I had the luck to be in close quarters with a
fellow developer. Not everybody is. Is there a wider call for mentoring on
a personal level?

Several people have proposed to be a google summer of code mentor but this
year no projects were admitted. Maybe we can provide a structured way of
providing mentoring for people wanting to start. I don't know if we can
prevent frustration to occur but we might find a way to reduce the pain of
starting working on cloudstack a bit.

It was partially completed a long time ago (it might still exist on our old

Hi, I am an experience Java EE professional (new to cloudstack though).


   I am interested in contributing to the development.  As suggested in the 
newcomer section, I have been following the jira and the dev emails for a few 
days now, but I haven't been successful in identifying an opportunity to start. 
 Please can someone help me identify/share a newcomer task/feature to 
implement?  A good starting point perhaps.


Thanks,

Re: Mentor

[Daan Hoogland]

Prakesh,

Thanks for the offer to step in. There are lots of improvements and
refactorings to be made. Made sure you have a good test bed first. At the
moment we are in freeze so getting contributions accepted is hard on  the
beginner.
For starters I would suggest finding the massive blobs (huge methods) in
cloudstack and dissecting them to smaller chunks and writing unit tests for
them. There's a lot of them around. It is a great beginners job for an
experienced dev.
Another one is upgrading dependencies. there is some outdated ones and I am
looking at those but have to little time to get real work done on them. If
you can identify the code using commons-httpclient and can rewrite it to
use (the newer apache) httpclient. that would be great.

I am sure a lot of people can give you a lot of clues. These are a few just
below my agenda ;)

regards,

Hi B. Prakash, Daan, Erik,

I have emailed many time requesting a mentor and still no responses. I have 
been following cloudstack for a few months. I am entry-level java completed a 
Java class as I have earned my bachelor in IT from Northeastern University. I 
earned a 4.0 for the Java course. Even if I have to start troubleshooting code 
I am a quick learner and in a few months be able to code. I am a member of the

Thank you,

Re: Mentor

[Daan Hoogland]

I think you will find most satisfaction with obliging Erik as it is a real
user problem which is always more rewarding when done. The others are
merely very good to get acquainted with the system.

this is a volunteer job so if you don't have a boss telling you what is
more important it is what you deem so.

Hi David,

I am sorry that your efforts to get into the community hasn't given the
wanted results yet.

Coding CloudStack is beyond my skill set, so I can't really offer any
mentoring, but if you are looking for simple tasks to carry out to get more
familiar with the project I am sure we could come up with some issues for
you :-)

Your first matter of business should be to get a CloudStack cloud up and
running so that you can test any changes you do.
This can be done on a single machine if needed.

Re: Mentor

[B Prakash]

Thanks Daan, Erik for your help, I really appreciate it!

Also of these three tasks ie;
1. Refactoring massive blobs
2. Upgrading dependency
3. Root disk resize support for XenServer

Do you have a priority of which one would be preferred first?  I am glad to 
start with it first.   Otherwise I will go in the order you shared it with me. 

Thanks,
Prakash.

root disk resize support for XenServer :-)


It was partially completed a long time ago (it might still exist on our old

Thanks Daan.

Hi Erik, I am really eager to start work on 'Root disk resize support for 
XenServer', I am going through the preliminary setup documentation to keep 
everything ready.  Would it please be possible to mentor me on this activity?

As you go through this, if you have questions related to how XenServer
works, do feel free to ask me. Another good avenue is the xs-devel list on

 Hi Mentors,
 
 It's finally time to start ranking the proposals. Please excuse my 
 quietness the last few days. We will start by getting a rough overview 
 of the proposals that we want to accept if we had an unlimited amount of 
 slots.
 
 For this I now ask you to go through the proposals and slide the Wish 
 to mentor slider to Yes if you want to spend time mentoring a 
 specific proposal. You have time for this until
 
  April 12 00:00 UTC
 
 (failing to meet this deadline will result in a reduction in score for 
 that proposal). No ranking yet please.
 
 Please also acquaint yourself with the guidelines at [1]. We are now in the 
 pre-selection phase.
 
 To answer the question whether it is possible to mentor more than one project 
 up-front: yes, but.
 I'll quote myself from last year:
 
 quote
 1. We strive for a 100% success rate. Google is investing money and 
 they want to see something in return (successful projects). That means 
 that we can't just treat our GSoC projects like ordinary study 
 projects were we are OK with some projects failing. That in turn means we 
 need to put in more mentoring effort than for the ordinary university student.
 
 2. You can mentor more than one student if you convince me that you 
 know what you are doing and that you will strive for a 100% success rate.
 
 3. Mentors with more than one student will name backup mentors for their 
 projects.
 
 4. In case of two projects competing for a slot, the slot will be 
 awarded to the project mentored by the mentor with less projects.

[GSoC] Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2013 Mentor Registration

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Folks,

ASF has been accepted has a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 
2014.

If you are interested and have the time to be a mentor for a CloudStack project 
please see below to register as a mentor.
Also enter your project idea in JIRA and tag it with 'gsoc2014'

Currently Mike Tutkowski and I are planning to mentor.

 Dear PMCs,
 
 I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of 190 accepted 
 organizations for
 Google Summer of Code 2014! [1,2]
 
 It is now time for the mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to 
 your community and podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to 
 ment...@community.apache.org (formerly code-awa...@apache.org) you should do 
 so now else you might miss important information.
 
 Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Melange and PMC 
 acknowledgement.
 
 If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to
 
 1. Be an Apache committer.
 2. Register with Melange and set up a profile [3].
 3. Add your username (formerly known as link_id) to [4]. This is NOT your 
 email address but your
 Melange username. You can find it at the top of any page once you are logged 
 in.
 4. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor 
 projects. Use the below
 template and do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org.
 5. Once a PMC member acknowledges the request to mentor, and only then, go to

 PMCs, read carefully please.
 
 We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to 
 ensure the mentor is in good
 standing with the community. When you receive a request for acknowledgement, 
 please ACK it and cc
 ment...@community.apache.org
 
 Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my previous 
 emails for details). Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you 
 haven’t already done so, record your ideas immediately!
 
 Cheers,
 
 Uli

 Folks, [BCC: users@]

 Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has been accepted has a mentoring
 organization for the 2013 Google Summer of Code.

 If you wish to be a mentor for a student to work on a CloudStack project
 there are several administrative steps that you will need to do:

 1-Add your project idea to JIRA, using the label gsoc2013. Then add an
 entry in the wiki page I started:
 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Student+Projects

 2-register on the code-awa...@apache.org list

 3-Follow the email from Ulrich Stark below which tells you to register on
 the melange site run by Google and then inform the PMC (
 priv...@cloudstack.apache.org) that you want to be a mentor.

 Note that all in all GSoC is a ~4months program, being a mentor will
 require a firm commitment to the students who may need mentorship/guidance
 on a daily basis.

[GSOC] Update and registration as mentor

[Sebastien Goasguen]

Hi Folks,

Students applications should start trickling in. Application period will end 
May 3rd.

All interested mentors need to register and request ack from the CloudStack 
PMC, see:
http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html

Note that anyone is welcome to pick up mentorship for the projects I entered.
It is also not too late to enter a project in JIRA with gsoc2013 as label.

All students should check the wiki page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Student+Projects

Then start emailing this list (with the label [GSOC] on the subject line) to 
talk about your ideas.

-Sebastien

GSoC 2013 Task Mentor

[Radu Calin]

Hello all,

 

I'm Radu , a 1st year MS student willing to work for the CloudStack project
through GSoC this summer.

 

I would like to know whether there's any mentor assigned for the DevCloud
Cloud in a Box project
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1781) yet? 

 

I'm asking this because I want to find out more details about the project,
like the mentor's vision about the end product functionality/UX and how the
workload is going to be structured throughout the given timeframe.  

 

Thanks for reading this,

Radu Calin
