Hello Manav P Gondalia,

mentors@ is the list for mentors only, not for GSoC contributors :)
I can recommend you to check this page: https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html

Then find the project you would like to participate in here:
https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?
language#Java

Additionally you can search for the "gsoc2023" label in JIRA [1] :)

Please send any additional questions to the dev@community mailing-list
or better to the dev@ list of the particular Apache project you would
like to contribute :)

What about projects not using Jira (i.e. Github)? Do we label them there too 
the same way? Someone watches all the Github projects too?

Hi Maxim,


Thanks for your pointer.


I am curious if I am a PMC of the project which I want to mentor for, it is 
still required to request ACK from the PMC of the corresponding community? I 
mean, I request ACK from myself or other PMCs. A little odd...


If I miss something, please correct me. 
Thanks for your help!

Re: Google Summer of Code 2021 Mentor Registration GSOC

2021-03-14 Thread Xiangdong Huang
Hi Maxim,

Thanks for the detailed instruction.

Just one question:

>  mentor signup in Google's system [3]

How to signup as a mentor? When I login with my google account, it says, "
You don't have a GSoC account.".

I scanned the website and can not find the entrance of registration to be a
GSoC mentor.

What should I do?

2021-03-14 Thread Maxim Solodovnik
Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of
accepted organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2021! [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. (not a MUST)
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 address 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!

We are pleased to announce Google Summer of Code 2021 <http://g.co/gsoc>,
the 17th consecutive year of the program!

The program announcement
<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2020/10/google-summer-of-code-2021-is-bringing.html>
, timeline <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>,
marketing materials
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/marketing> (slide
deck, flyers), FAQs
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq>, student
guide <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/guide> and
short videos <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/videos> about
the program and tips for mentors and students are all available.

For 2021 we are excited to offer smaller sized projects and thus a lower
time commitment for those interested in participating in the program. In
2021 all student projects will be 175 hour projects (instead of the
previous 350 hr projects) and the coding period will be 10 weeks. There are
many folks who have been unable to commit to a 350 hr project but are
interested in learning more about open source and being a part of these
amazing open source communities so we hope this will allow those folks to
apply for the program.

We are also changing the eligibility for students - in 2021 students need
to be enrolled in (or accepted into) a post-secondary academic program
(including university, community college, PhD program, licensed coding
camp, etc.) as of May 17, 2021 or if they graduated from a post-secondary
academic program between December 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021 they are
eligible to apply.

Student applications open March 29, 2021. We will announce the open source
organizations that will be mentoring orgs for 2021 on March 8, 2021, at
that point interested students should be reaching out to orgs that interest
them and talking through the project ideas.

Thinking about being a mentor for GSoC 2021? Reach out to the organization
you'd like to work with over the next couple of months and let them know,
I'm sure they'd be thrilled to have you as a mentor!

We are looking forward to another exciting year of GSoC!

For questions about the programs please email us at gsoc-supp...@google.com

Best,

Stephanie

Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings),

Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing
students to spend their summer
working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for
developing open source software
full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and
project ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to
identify and bring in new committers.

The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual
projects don't have to apply separately.

If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the
following things by no later than
2019-01-31 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later)

1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2019, and they will
show up at [3]. Please be as
specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the
programming language, the tools and
skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They
are supposed to learn what's
required before the program starts.

Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang,
python, brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...).

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact dev@community.apache.org if you need assistance.

[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2019
shortly).

3. subscribe to ment...@community.apache.org; restricted to potential
mentors, meant to be used as a
private list - general discussions on the public
dev@community.apache.org list as much as possible
please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one
of your alias addresses on
record).

Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet,
nevertheless you *have to*
start recording your ideas now or we might not get accepted.

Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects
successfully. Some of our prior
students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success again!

P.S.: this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.

project ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to
identify and bring in new committers.

The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual
projects don't have to apply separately.

If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the
following things by no later than
2019-01-31 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later)

1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2019, and they will
show up at [3]. Please be as
specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the
programming language, the tools and
skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They
are supposed to learn what's
required before the program starts.

Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang,
python, brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...).

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact dev@community.apache.org if you need assistance.

[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2019 shortly).

3. subscribe to ment...@community.apache.org; restricted to potential
mentors, meant to be used as a
private list - general discussions on the public
dev@community.apache.org list as much as possible
please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one
of your alias addresses on
record).

Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet,
nevertheless you *have to*
start recording your ideas now or we might not get accepted.

Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects
successfully. Some of our prior
students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success again!

P.S.: this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.

Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings),

Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing
students to spend their summer

project ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to

Application for Google Summer of Code 2019

2019-01-16 Thread karan vishwakarma
Hello Mentors, My name is Karan Vishwakarma and I am pursuing Bachelors in Information Technology at Institute of Engineering and Technology, DAVV Indore. As a part of the university curriculum, I have learned fundamental Information Technology courses like Data Structure, Algorithms, Operating systems and Computer Networks. These courses have enhanced my programming skills and motivated me to design and develop an Android application named ‘KeyNote’ (available on Google Play Store) that helps the users to store information and their personal data in the form of notes. The technologies which I used to build the notes application are Java, XML, Android Studios and storage databases like SQLite and SharedPreferences for fast data loading. Additionally, I integrated Google AdMob to provide a platform to serve Ads and increase user engagement. With the knowledge of web development technologies, I designed my portfolio website using tools like HTML, CSS, HTML5, CSS3, _javascript_, XAMPP, Google Web Toolkit and PHP and hosted the website on web host by managing files through FileZilla. To support code modularity and easy maintenance, I designed the website with Leaner Style Sheets (LESS) to extend the capabilities of CSS. To optimize the applications with advanced learning algorithms, I enrolled in courses like ‘Divide and Conquer, Sorting and Searching, and Randomized algorithm’ and ‘Machine Learning’ offered by Stanford University where I achieved a grade of 93.2% among all students.	I look forward to a challenging career which may even be arduous and demanding at times but I am confident that with my sincerity and dedication, I will be able to make a meaningful contribution to the open source projects for Google Summer of Code 2019 with the best of my knowledge and skills. Please find my resume attached and I look forward to talking to you soon.

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

Hi, I have tried to subscribe the ment...@community.apache.org , and 
received/confirmed the mail. But nothing more happened.


I also send this mail to the mail list:
--
SkyWalking PMC,

please acknowledge my request to become a mentor for Google Summer of Code 2018 
projects for Apache
SkyWalking.

I would like to receive the mentor invite to wush...@apache.org


And I already start a ticket for GSoC student: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-247 in that topic.  A student from 
Tongji University, China, has been interested in that topic.

But I only received the mail returned from skywalking private mail list: 
priv...@skywalking.apache.org


Can some one help me out? Is there anything wrong?

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

Ciao Stefan,

a good starting place can be our ideas list for this year's GSoC:
s.apache.org/gsoc2017ideas

You can also browse our full list of project communities at
http://apache.org/index.html#projects-list and approach the community that
you find most interesting and discuss a potential GSoC project with them.

Cheers,

Uli

Google Summer of Code

2017-03-18 Thread Loata, Stefan
Hello,

my name is Stefan Loata. I was born and grown in Italy (Rome) and now I am 
living in the Netherlands
(Studying in a Liberal Arts and Sciences College of the Utrecht University).


I am in my Second Semester and I am planning to Major in Computer Science, 
Mathematics and Physics, trying possibly to get a Minor in Art History. I am 
working with Java, MySQL (and NoSQL Cassandra), Mathematica (Wolfram) and 
Latex. On my own, I got a basic understanding of Python, Ruby and CSS/HTML.


This would be the first time I work on a so large scale project but I am really 
willing to learn and I will have a lot of time to dedicate to it during the 
summer. I have just started looking at it, cause I had to prepare various 
Midterms.

I was wondering if you could suggest me on which of the project Ideas I could 
start looking and try to apply, considering my preparation.

Kind regards,
Stefan Loata

Google Summer of Code 2017 Mentor Registration

2017-03-06 Thread Ulrich Stärk
Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted 
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2017! [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

Google Summer of Code in Apache Airflow

2017-03-01 Thread Jakub Powierza
Hi all,
I am 3rd year bachelor student from Gdańsk, Poland and I would like to 
participate in Google Summer of Code. That would be the first time ever for me 
to take a part in this program :)

I am currently working at Intel Technology Poland as Graphics Software Engineer 
Intern. I have worked here for about 1.5 year. My primary languages that I’m 
using (as a day to day coder) are Python and JavaScript. I’ve been using 
several frameworks and technologies such as Flask, SQLAlchemy, RabbitMQ, Redis, 
AngularJS and many more. Recently, I have been using Apache Airflow as a 
primary framework and I find it very useful and promising for the future :)

Every day is another adventure, so I’m currently focusing on many other 
technologies that can broaden my horizons on IT. That’s why I’m taking a part 
in one of the biggest competitions on Kaggle’s platform - Data Science Bowl 
2017. I was asked by my professor to join the team of other passionate people 
and together with VoiceLab (local company specialised in machine learning) try 
to improve lung cancer detection. That’s my first touch with machine learning 
and especially neural networks in Keras/TensorFlow. It changed my perspectives 
for the directions in which computer science heads towards :)

Each new technology/project/task gives me new knowledge and skills that (I 
hope) will make me a better developer in the future!

I have seen that you have proposed a few projects ideas for this year. But I 
have got a question to you. Is there a way to join developers of Apache Airflow 
and help them with this great framework? I’ve checked its Jira board and there 
are many ideas for features/improvements that can be a great GSoC topic :)

I hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks,
Jakub Powierza

  DRAFT :: NOT FOR DISSEMINATION
 
  The Apache Software Foundation Accepted as a Google Summer of Code 2015
  Mentoring Organization
 
  Hundreds of students mentored in The Apache Way of community-driven
  development since the program's inception in 2005.
 
  Forest Hill, MD -17 March 2015- The Apache Software Foundation (ASF),
  the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350
  Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today that it has been
  accepted as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentoring organization for
  the 11th consecutive year.
 
  The Google Summer of Code program offers student developers stipends to
  write code for various Open Source projects over a three month period.
  This year, students will be paired with mentors from 137 Open Source,
  free software, and technology-related groups that include CERN, GNU
  Project, KDE, MIT Media Lab, WikiMedia Foundation, and many more.
 
  The ASF was amongst the initial 39 organizations selected to participate
  in the very first GSoC in 2005, and has participated every year since.
  At the ASF, the GSoC program is overseen by the Apache Community
  Development project, which comprises volunteers who help guide newcomers
  to The Apache Software Foundation, provide insight and advice on The
  Apache Way of meritocratic development, including how to contribute to
  Apache projects and to the Open Source community at-large.
 
  Over the summer, Apache Committers will mentor students that are
  sponsored by Google and will be working on many of our projects, said
  Ulrich Stärk, Vice President of Community Development at the ASF. The
  program helps us to not only get some great code written, but also to
  introduce students into Open Source development and hopefully recruit
  some new long-term Committers.
 
  Students are encouraged to discuss ideas with mentoring organizations
  and finalize proposals for projects of interest by the 27 March
  deadline. ASF mentors have proposed 129 ideas for Apache projects in Big
  Data, Cloud, Enterprise Integration, Enterprise Search

 DRAFT :: NOT FOR DISSEMINATION

 The Apache Software Foundation Accepted as a Google Summer of Code 2015
 Mentoring Organization

 Hundreds of students mentored in The Apache Way of community-driven
 development since the program's inception in 2005.

 Forest Hill, MD ndash;17 March 2015ndash; The Apache Software Foundation 
 (ASF),
 the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350
 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today that it has been
 accepted as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentoring organization for
 the 11th consecutive year.

 The Google Summer of Code program offers student developers stipends to
 write code for various Open Source projects over a three month period.
 This year, students will be paired with mentors from 137 Open Source,
 free software, and technology-related groups that include CERN, GNU
 Project, KDE, MIT Media Lab, WikiMedia Foundation, and many more.

 The ASF was amongst the initial 39 organizations selected to participate
 in the very first GSoC in 2005, and has participated every year since.
 At the ASF, the GSoC program is overseen by the Apache Community
 Development project, which comprises volunteers who help guide newcomers
 to The Apache Software Foundation, provide insight and advice on The
 Apache Way of meritocratic development, including how to contribute to
 Apache projects and to the Open Source community at-large.

 Over the summer, Apache Committers will mentor students that are
 sponsored by Google and will be working on many of our projects, said
 Ulrich Stärk, Vice President of Community Development at the ASF. The
 program helps us

Hi Ross --a quick follow-up on this.
As you may have been following our emails, we're aiming to issue the ASF press 
release tomorrow. How would you like to go about integrating the TEALs angle? 
Should this be something we work around for ApacheCon? Or did you have 
something else in mind?
I'm happy to take the conversation off-list whilst we sort out the details.

 Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to 
use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move 
the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a 
good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant 
cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to 
present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get 
people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS 
education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a 
small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us 
as contributors in later years.    What do you think? If this works for you I 
could link you to the TEALs people to help with content for a blog.    Oh, and 
I will be at ApacheCon.    Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. A subsidiary of

 DRAFT :: NOT FOR DISSEMINATION

 The Apache Software Foundation Accepted as a Google Summer of Code 2015
 Mentoring Organization

 Hundreds of students mentored in The Apache Way of community-driven
 development since the program's inception in 2005.

 Forest Hill, MD –17 March 2015– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF),
 the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350
 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today that it has been
 accepted as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentoring organization for
 the 11th consecutive year.

 The Google Summer of Code program offers student developers stipends to
 write code for various Open Source projects over a three month period.
 This year, students will be paired with mentors from 137 Open Source,
 free software, and technology-related groups that include CERN, GNU
 Project, KDE, MIT Media Lab, WikiMedia Foundation, and many more.

 The ASF was amongst the initial 39 organizations selected to participate
 in the very first GSoC in 2005, and has participated every year since.
 At the ASF, the GSoC program is overseen by the Apache Community
 Development project, which comprises volunteers who help guide newcomers
 to The Apache Software Foundation, provide insight and advice on The
 Apache Way of meritocratic development, including how to contribute to
 Apache projects and to the Open Source community at-large.

 Over the summer, Apache Committers will mentor students that are
 sponsored by Google and will be working on many of our projects, said
 Ulrich Stärk, Vice President of Community Development at the ASF. The
 program helps us to not only get some great code written, but also to
 introduce students into Open Source development and hopefully recruit
 some new long-term Committers.

 Students are encouraged to discuss ideas with mentoring organizations
 and finalize proposals for projects of interest by the 27 March
 deadline. ASF mentors have proposed 129 ideas for Apache projects in Big
 Data, Cloud, Enterprise Integration, Enterprise Search, Project
 Management, Semantic Web  Linked Data, along with other categories.
 Students may choose from the Apache Ideas Page at
 http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas or suggest their own project for
 approval. Coding will begin 25 May and end 21 August.

 GSoC gives students the chance to work on industry-leading Open Source
 projects, collaborate with diverse communities, and gain real world
 experience related to their academic pursuits, added Stärk. We are
 proud to have mentored so many talented students over the years, and
 furthered our mission of providing software products for the public
 good. It's a rewarding experience both for the students and the Apache
 community at-large.

 Since the program's inception, GSoC has brought together over 8,500
 successful student participants from over countries and over 8,000
 mentors from 109 countries worldwide to produce over 55 million lines of
 code.

 Being accepted once again as a Google Summer of Code mentoring
 organization reinforces The Apache Software Foundation's leadership in
 community-driven development, said ASF Vice Chairman Greg Stein, who,
 in 2005 co-created the GSoC program while working at Google. Hundreds
 of students have been mentored in 'The Apache Way' --many have continued
 on to become long-term code committers on a variety of Apache projects,
 with some active program participants elected as ASF Members.

 Information on the ASF's participation in Google Summer of Code is
 available at http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html

 Established in 1999, the all-volunteer Foundation oversees more than 350

 GSoC gives students the chance to work on industry-leading Open Source
 projects, collaborate with diverse communities, and gain real world
 experience related to their academic pursuits, added Stärk. We are
 proud to have mentored so many talented students over the years, and
 furthered our mission of providing software products for the public
 good. It's a rewarding experience both for the students and the Apache

 Since the program's inception, GSoC has brought together over 8,500
 successful student participants from over countries and over 8,000
 mentors from 109 countries worldwide to produce over 55 million lines of

 Being accepted once again as a Google Summer of Code mentoring
 organization reinforces The Apache Software Foundation's leadership in

Fantastic --thanks, Uli!

Now we wait for Greg. I'll be issuing this announcement early tomorrow morning 
ET (UTC -5). I presume that's OK with you, yes?

Also, does ComDev have a Twitter handle?

 DRAFT :: NOT FOR DISSEMINATION
 
 The Apache Software Foundation Accepted as a Google Summer of Code 2015 
 Mentoring Organization
 
 Hundreds of students mentored in The Apache Way of community-driven 
 development since the program's inception in 2005.
 
 Forest Hill, MD –17 March 2015– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the 
 all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open 
 Source projects and initiatives, announced today that it has been accepted as 
 a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentoring organization for the 11th 
 consecutive year.
 
 The Google Summer of Code program offers student developers stipends to write 
 code for various Open Source projects over a three month period. This year, 
 students will be paired with mentors from 137 Open Source, free software, and 
 technology-related groups that include CERN, GNU Project, KDE, MIT Media Lab, 
 WikiMedia Foundation, and many more.
 
 The ASF was amongst the initial 39 organizations selected to participate in 
 the very first GSoC in 2005, and has participated every year since. At the 
 ASF, the GSoC program is overseen by the Apache Community Development 
 project, which comprises volunteers who help guide newcomers to The Apache 
 Software Foundation, provide insight and advice on The Apache Way of 
 meritocratic development, including how to contribute to Apache projects and 
 to the Open Source community at-large.
 
 Over the summer, Apache Committers will mentor students that are sponsored 
 by Google and will be working on many of our projects, said Ulrich Stärk, 
 Vice President of Community Development at the ASF. The program helps us to 
 not only get some great code written, but also to introduce students into 
 Open Source development and hopefully recruit some new long-term Committers.
 
 Students are encouraged to discuss ideas with mentoring organizations and 
 finalize proposals for projects of interest by the 27 March deadline. ASF 
 mentors have proposed 129 ideas for Apache projects in Big Data, Cloud, 
 Enterprise Integration, Enterprise Search, Project Management, Semantic Web  
 Linked Data, along with other categories. Students may choose from the Apache 
 Ideas Page at http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas or suggest their own 
 project for approval. Coding will begin 25 May and end 21 August.

Hey Sally,

I just read the announcement and it says The ASF has been accepted as a 
Google Summer of Code
mentoring organization for the 10th consecutive year.

If I'm not mistaken it's the 11th year ;)

Cheers,

Uli

 Hey Sally  Co.,

 this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
 endeavours. Yesterday, we have
 been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015 
 [1],[2]. This means that
 over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
 Google and will be
 working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code 
 written but also to
 introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some 
 new long-term committers.
 More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now 
 encouraged to discuss ideas
 with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive 
 list of already existing
 project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from 
 March 16 until March 27

Just a quick question on this.
Seeing that there will be some members of ComDev as well as PMCs at ApacheCon, 
is it likely that any in-person mentoring/hackathon/MeetUps/* will take place 
there?
I know it's not common practice for GSoC, but I was curious if we'd be open to 
anything like that. Humans huddling and all...

The very first year was 2005. Thus, 2015 would be the 11th GSoC.

As one of the two people to launch/create GSoC, you can call me
authoritative on the dates :-P

 Hey Sally  Co.,

 this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
 endeavours. Yesterday, we have
 been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015 
 [1],[2]. This means that
 over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
 Google and will be
 working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code 
 written but also to
 introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some 
 new long-term committers.
 More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now 
 encouraged to discuss ideas
 with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list 
 of already existing
 project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from 
 March 16 until March 27, coding
 will take place from May 25 to August 21. See [5] for the detailed timeline.

 Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org) 
 before publishing?

 Thanks,

 Uli

Got it. Just thought that since we have an opportunity to socialize, that we 
could do something.

Thanks for following up on this, Uli! I'll get the draft to you this weekend.

Chat soon,
Sally

 Just a quick question on this.
 Seeing that there will be some members of ComDev as well as PMCs at 
 ApacheCon, is it likely that any in-person mentoring/hackathon/MeetUps/* will 
 take place there?
 I know it's not common practice for GSoC, but I was curious if we'd be open 
 to anything like that. Humans huddling and all...

The very first year was 2005. Thus, 2015 would be the 11th GSoC.

As one of the two people to launch/create GSoC, you can call me authoritative 
on the dates :-P

What?

Really? I had it in the Did You Know? section last week as 10th also.


AND, more importantly, if my calculations are off, then in

https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/date/20141119


the 2013 entry as eighth consecutive year is wrong too.

Who has the correct count? It really is 11? Not that I don't trust you, I now 
am feeling quite lost.

RE: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015

2015-03-12 Thread Ross Gardler (MS OPEN TECH)
Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to 
use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move 
the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a 
good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant 
cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to 
present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get 
people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS 
education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a 
small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us 
as contributors in later years.

What do you think? If this works for you I could link you to the TEALs people 
to help with content for a blog.

Oh, and I will be at ApacheCon.

 yes, I'm the GSoC lead again.
 
 I don't know who from ComDev will be at ApacheCon but I guess at 
 least Ross will. There's nothing planned at the moment.
 
 Cheers,
 
 Uli

 Happy to work with you on a press release. Who is the ASF lead on GSoC. You?
 
 Who from ComDev will be at ApacheCon? Are you planning to do something 
 special there?

Thanks, Ross.

I'd like to explore this further with you. When do you leave the country?

Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to 
use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move 
the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a 
good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant 
cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to 
present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get 
people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS 
education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a 
small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us 
as contributors in later years.

What do you think? If this works for you I could link you to the TEALs people 
to help with content for a blog.

Oh, and I will be at ApacheCon.

Hi Sally,

I am sure Ross and few others from ComDev will also be there at ApacheCon and 
should be able to provide details on GSoC at ASF. I will be there as well and 
also have a talk accepted on the same topic - http://sched.co/2P6f

Please let me know if you would like to promote anything specific on GSoC, I 
will be happy to help and will appreciate your efforts.

 Hey Sally  Co.,

 this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
 endeavours. Yesterday, we have
 been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015 
 [1],[2]. This means that
 over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
 Google and will be
 working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code 
 written but also to
 introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some 
 new long-term committers.
 More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now 
 encouraged to discuss ideas
 with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list 
 of already existing
 project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from 
 March 16 until March 27,
 coding
 will take place from May 25 to August 21. See [5] for the detailed timeline.

 Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org
 mailto:dev@community.apache.org) before publishing?



 Thanks,

 Uli

Is there a compiled list anywhere of the ASF projects proposed for 
GSOC2015? Couldn't find it. Jira searches for the GSOC2015 gave me 
results kinda all over the place.

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of 137 accepted 
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2015! [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 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

5. Once a PMC member acknowledges the request to mentor, and only then, go to 
[5] and send a
connection request.

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,

Hi Manoj,

this question is best asked on the Spark mailing lists (copied). From a formal 
point of view all
that counts is your proposal in Melange once applications start but your mentor 
or the project you
wish to contribute to may have additional requirements.

Cheers,

Uli

Hi Everyone-

Sorry about the permission issues with the information page linked in the 
original email. We are
working on the problem now.  Below is all the information you'll need to 
participate:

---

*Google Summer of Code Doc Camp - a partnership of GSoC, Aspiration and FLOSS 
Manuals
*
This is a call for proposals for the 2013 GSoC Doc Camp. Individuals and 
projects are invited to
submit proposals for the GSoC Doc Camp to be held at Google's Mountain View 
headquarters in
California from October 14 - October 18.
*
What is it?*

The GSoC Doc Camp is a place for free software communities to meet, work on 
creating a book for
their project, attract new people to their efforts, and share their 
documentation experiences. The
camp aims to improve free documentation materials and skills in free software 
projects and
individuals and help form the identity of the emergent free documentation 
sector.The Doc Camp will
consist of 2 major components - an unconference and 2-4 short (3 day) Book 
Sprints to produce books
for the selected projects.

The unconference will explore topics proposed by the participants. Any topic on 
free documentation
of free software can be proposed for discussion during the event.

Each Book Sprint will bring together 4-5 individuals to produce a book on a 
specific free software
project. All participants of the Doc Camp must attend a sprint. The books will 
be launched online in
print and ebook formats on the final day of the event.

*Who should come?*
Individuals and free software projects can apply. All individuals will be 
required to work on one of
the selected projects to assist their documentation efforts.

*How to I get involved?*
Individuals with a passion for free documentation about free software may apply 
to attend by filling
out the application form [1] and submitting before August 7. Those wishing to 
attend do not need to
be from a GSoC project. Accommodation and food will be covered by the GSoC Doc 
Camp. Partial or
complete travel costs can also be applied for as part of the application 
process.

Free software projects of any sort can also apply - they do not need to be GSoC 
2013 projects
although these may be given preference.

Projects will be chosen from proposals submitted to the GSoC Doc Camp before 
August 7 through the
application form [2]. Project applications can nominate up to 5 individuals to 
attend and
participate in the proposed sprint. A Project proposal does not have to 
nominate individuals to
participate - you can also use this as an opportunity to promote your project 
to Doc Camp
participants and extend your documentation community. If the proposal is 
accepted the accommodation
and food costs will be covered by the Doc Camp for any listed individuals and 
part or complete
travel costs for each can be applied for (if applicable).

The 2013 GSoC Doc Camp is co-organized by GSoC, Aspiration and FLOSS Manuals. 
Unconference
facilitation conducted by Allen Gunn, and Book Sprint facilitated by Adam Hyde.

 The Apache Software Foundation Community Development Project Welcomes 
 Student Proposals for Google
 Summer of Code 2013
 
 Hundreds of students mentored in “The Apache Way” of Open Source community 
 leadership
 
 Forest Hill, MD –9 April 2013– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)'s 
 Community Development (ComDev)
 project today announced its acceptance into the Google Summer of Code (GsoC) 
 as a mentoring
 organization for the eighth consecutive year.
 
 The ComDev team helps newcomers learn about the ASF's projects, governance, 
 and activities, and
 guides them in becoming part of the meritocratic, all-volunteer Apache 
 community.
 
 Established in 2005, the Google Summer of Code offers student developers 
 from around the word
 stipends to write code for various Open Source software projects over a 
 three month period. 
 
 The ASF has actively participated in GSoC since the program's inception, 
 mentoring 30-45 students
 each year, and providing exposure to real-world software and community 
 development “The Apache Way”.
 
 Countless GSoC students mentored by the Apache community continue to be 
 long-term code committers on
 a variety of Apache projects. Some active program participants have even 
 been elected as members of
 the ASF.
 
 This year, dozens of Apache projects have committed to mentoring GSoC 
 students. They include
 Accumulo, Airavata, Axiom, Bloodhound, CloudStack, CouchDB, Crunch, Giraph, 
 Gora, Hama, Hive, Isis,
 Jena, Lenya, Lucene, Mahout, ManifoldCF, Mesos, Nutch, ODE, OpenMeetings, 
 OpenOffice, Pig, Rat, SIS,
 Sling, Solr, Stanbol, Tika, VXQuery, Wookie, XalanJ, and XercesJ. 
 
 Make clear that this list isn't exclusive. Maybe They include but are not 
 limited to...?

Not that it should matter for this, but some of these projects are Incubator 
podlings.

 
 
 The ComDev team invite GSoC students to propose application ideas directly 
 with all Apache
 project(s) of interest no later than Sunday, 21 April 2013. The ASF's more 
 than 100 Top-Level
 Projects and nearly three dozen initiatives in the Apache Incubator are 
 listed at
 http://www.apache.org/ and http://incubator.apache.org/ respectively.
 
 The ComDev team recommends GSoC students to discuss application ideas 
 directly with all Apache
 project(s) of interest before the official start of the application phase on 
 Monday, 22 April 2013.
 
 
 For more information on Apache Community Development and to get involved 
 with Apache projects for
 GSoC, visit http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html
 
 Details on the Google Summer of Code is available at
 http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013
 
 About The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)
 Established in 1999, the all-volunteer Foundation oversees nearly one 
 hundred fifty leading Open
 Source projects, including Apache HTTP Server — the world's most popular Web 
 server software.
 Through the ASF's meritocratic process known as The Apache Way, more than 
 400 individual Members
 and 3,500 Committers successfully collaborate to develop freely available 
 enterprise-grade software,
 benefiting millions of users worldwide: thousands of software solutions are 
 distributed under the
 Apache License; and the community actively participates in ASF mailing 
 lists, mentoring initiatives,
 and ApacheCon

Hey Sally  Co.,

this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
endeavours. Yesterday, we have
been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013 
[1],[2]. This means that
over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
Google and will be
working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code written 
but also to
introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some new 
long-term committers.
More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now 
encouraged to discuss ideas
with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list of 
already existing
project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from April 
24 until May 3, coding
will take place from June 17 to September 23. See [5] for the detailed timeline.

Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org) before 
publishing?

Thanks,

Uli

Uli --help me understand the urgency. A press release doesn't necessarily reach 
(y)our intended audience --participants.

I will write an announcement, put it out over the newswire, post it on the ASF 
Foundation Blog, Tweet about it, send it to announce@ and our press/analyst 
list, and post it on the apache.org homepage.

Of course, I will get the draft over to you (ComDev) for review prior to 
issuing. I'd love a quote from the ComDev chair. Will Luciano be able to do 
this? If not, we can go without it...not required, but nice to have.

     Hey Sally  Co.,

     this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
endeavours. Yesterday, we have
     been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 
2013 [1],[2]. This means that
     over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored 
by Google and will be
     working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code 
written but also to
     introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit 
some new long-term committers.
     More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now 
encouraged to discuss ideas
     with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive 
list of already existing
     project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from 
April 24 until May 3, coding
     will take place from June 17 to September 23. See [5] for the detailed 
timeline.

     Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org
     mailto:dev@community.apache.org) before publishing?

     Thanks,

     Uli

  The Apache Software Foundation Community Development Project Welcomes 
 Student Proposals for Google
  Summer of Code 2013

  Hundreds of students mentored in “The Apache Way” of Open Source 
 community leadership

  Forest Hill, MD –9 April 2013– The Apache Software Foundation 
 (ASF)'s Community Development (ComDev)
  project today announced its acceptance into the Google Summer of Code 
 (GsoC) as a mentoring
  organization for the eighth consecutive year.

  The ComDev team helps newcomers learn about the ASF's projects, 
 governance, and activities, and
  guides them in becoming part of the meritocratic, all-volunteer Apache 
 community.

  Established in 2005, the Google Summer of Code offers student 
 developers from around the word
  stipends to write code for various Open Source software projects over a 
 three month period. 

  The ASF has actively participated in GSoC since the program's 
 inception, mentoring 30-45 students
  each year, and providing exposure to real-world software and community 
 development “The Apache Way”.

  Countless GSoC students mentored by the Apache community continue to be 
 long-term code committers on
  a variety of Apache projects. Some active program participants have 
 even been elected as members of
  the ASF.
   
  This year, dozens of Apache projects have committed to mentoring GSoC 
 students. They include
  Accumulo, Airavata, Axiom, Bloodhound, CloudStack, CouchDB, Crunch, 
 Giraph, Gora, Hama, Hive, Isis,
  Jena, Lenya, Lucene, Mahout, ManifoldCF, Mesos, Nutch, ODE, 
 OpenMeetings, OpenOffice, Pig, Rat, SIS,
  Sling, Solr, Stanbol, Tika, VXQuery, Wookie, XalanJ, and XercesJ. 

  Make clear that this list isn't exclusive. Maybe They include but 
 are not limited to...?


  The ComDev team invite GSoC students to propose application ideas 
 directly with all Apache
  project(s) of interest no later than Sunday, 21 April 2013. The 
 ASF's more than 100 Top-Level
  Projects and nearly three dozen initiatives in the Apache Incubator are 
 listed at
   http://www.apache.org/ and http://incubator.apache.org/ respectively.

  The ComDev team recommends GSoC students to discuss application ideas 
 directly with all Apache
  project(s) of interest before the official start of the application phase 
 on Monday, 22 April 2013.

Re: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Google Summer of Code 2013

2013-03-25 Thread Ulrich Stärk
[1] Covers most of it.

One time-consuming part is right now: collecting ideas, writing the 
application, answering mentor
questions, etc. The most laborious task is after the student proposal phase: 
we'll have to guide
mentors through the ranking, help were necessary, resolve conflicts, etc. After 
that it's chasing
mentors to meet their deadlines for evaluations and help when problems arise. I 
can handle most of
it myself but it would be nice to know that someone can help out in case I'm 
too tied up with other
things.

If you still want to volunteer, sign up at [2] and give me your link_id 
(username) and I'll add you
as our backup admin.

HTH,

Uli

 Folks, I'd like us to get started with this ASAP. The application
 period
 hasn't started yet but we

 I've got some cycles and would volunteer as the org admin again. Any
 others?

 Also I think we should look at our procedures and discuss if anything
 needs to be improved. One

 year.
 Historically these were
 the org admins. I was there last year as one of the org admins but I
 would
 have liked it if there
 was one of the mentors as well because I missed some insights into the
 actual mentoring. I'm
 therefore proposing that this year we send at least one mentor. We'll
 have
 to establish criteria for
 chosing a mentor to send but I could think of tying this to additional
 effort put into the program
 such as mentoring more than one student or creating publicity with blog
 posts about the projects
 they are mentoring.

 Hi GSoC mentors and org admins,

 We've announced that we're doing Google Summer of Code 2013 [1]. Yay!

 If you would like to help spread the word about GSoC, we have
 presentations [2], logos [3], and flyers [4] for you to use. Please
 host
 meetups, tell your friends and colleagues about the program, go to
 conferences, talk to people about the program, and just generally do
 all
 the awesome word-of-mouth stuff you do every year to promote the
 program.

 The GSoC calendar, FAQ, and events timeline have all been updated with
 this year's important dates, so please refer to those for the
 milestones
 for this year's program. NB: the normal timeline for the program has
 been
 modified for this year. You'll probably want to examine the dates
 closely
 to make sure you know when important things are happening.

 Please consider translating the presentations and/or flyers into your
 native language and submitting them directly to me to post on the wiki.
 Localization for our material is integral to reaching the widest
 possible
 audience around

Guys what's involved in being a backup admin?

If it's not too onerous, I'd be happy to help as well.

Cheers,

 +1 to having an Admin + a mentor at the summit. I'd suggest making the
 requirement to be active in representing communicating the benefits of
the
 programme to the ASF. Pre-announce this to mentors. Don't put too many
 restrictions on what we will consider valuable but perhaps suggest
things
 like blogging, data collection etc. When it comes to deciding I suspect
the
 ComDev PMC make nominations and then either have a private vote or draw
 names out of a hat.
 
 I don't think we should make mentoring more than one student a criteria.
 Personally I'd rather see a single well mentored student than two
 adequately mentored ones.

 meetups, tell your friends and colleagues about the program, go to
