Re: Request to vouch for the Terasology organization's participation as a mentor in GSOC 2015
As stated elsewhere, I’ve never seen Google’s request to „vouch“ for an organization as the organization vouching but rather veteran org admins vouching for the org admins, mentors and processes of an organization new to GSoC. If I happen to be at this year’s mentor summit I’ll raise this point there. Uli Am 2014-03-12 um 22:04 schrieb Benson Margulies : > In my opinion, Google is making an incoherent request.

Re: Request to vouch for the Terasology organization's participation as a mentor in GSOC 2015
In my opinion, Google is making an incoherent request. What does it mean for one organization to vouch for another? What, specifically, does Google think that the ASF could, as a Foundation, know about Terasology? If Google were to publish something very specific and concrete about this, perhaps it would reveal an opportunity here. As things are, I don't see how anyone wearing an ASF hat can make any endorsement here.
Request to vouch for the Terasology organization's participation as a mentor in GSOC 2015
I'm involved with another organization, Terasology -- http://terasology.org/, that submitted a GSOC proposal for the second year in a row. According to the six Terasology representatives at the GSOC 2014 post-mortem IRC meeting with rejected organizations, Terasology was denied this year mainly due to the lack of an approved organization vouching for them. I'm hoping the ASF will vouch for them next year. I've been participating in Terasology's community since December of 2013, and my opinion is that they are qualified to participate in GSOC due to their professionalism, community building, mentoring, length of time the project has existed, and the interesting nature of the tasks they proposed. In my opinion, they demonstrate many of the traits we prize at the ASF.They also managed to convince me to switch over from SVN to git and, more importantly, mentored me through the two-week process of changing my mindset. Terasology is looking at other possible organizations to vouch for them -- they had compiled a list of around ten at last count -- but in my opinion, no one is going to vouch for them without being part of the Terasology community long enough to say that they would make good GSOC mentors. In my opinion, the ASF, through me, is probably their best chance at this point in time. Since I'm an ASF member, a PMC member on two projects, a long-time contributor, and have been involved as a mentor for one successful top-level ASF project/community graduating from the incubator , I'm hoping that my recommendation that they would be a good GSOC mentoring organization is sufficient. 2014 has passed, so it will be a 2015 recommendation that I'm looking for. I'm guessing this is too early to request at this point, but I want to make sure I've done everything necessary by February of 2015, so much as it depends upon me or the Terasology project. -Mike

Dear Sir, Thank the Sqoop Apache team to contribute for this project. We enjoy the tool which can transfer data between relation database and Apache Hadoop. Our Corporation is Korea’s premier Internet Company, There are a large number of database as well as vast amounts of data. We often need to get the data from the Apache Hadoop migrated to a relational database, or from relational database migration to Hadoop. Apache Sqoop provides convenient and efficient for us. We love it deeply. Our organization should be willing to make some contribution for the Apache Sqoop. We could expand the Sqoop to support CUBRID database. And submit our JDBC and interface into Sqoop. If the Sqoop official web and document has the information which support our CUBRID. That is excellent. Looking forward to more consultation with you. I don't know what to send you this mail is correct. If sending wrong, Please help me to forward or tell me the correct the email address of the recipient. Looking forward to your reply.
