Well, it is ASF as a whole that is a mentor organization and the gsoc2017 label cuts across all the projects at once. So, a project that applies Solr expertise to other ASF projects is to me still within ASF-mentor space. And we may be able to draw some assistance from the other projects to it once it gets going. > Here are a few ideas which come to my head that a student could take on as a > project > > Improving the admin dashboard UI There is a couple of open JIRAs, yes. We could mark those with GSOC label. Completely new features might be nice too, but - as you said - we need to discuss this beforehand somehow.

Re: Google Summer Of Code (I am thinking of mentoring)
Hi Alexandre , I think its a great idea to have someone look into the usability part as a GSOC project. However I feel we should define this task somewhat before people start applying. The student should not get caught up in a Jira which is attracting lots of discussions from the devs . This could be quite overwhelming to someone new to the project. > looking at downstream Apache projects using Solr and helping them to move to Solr 6, things like that. I'm not sure how that would classify as a GSOC project under the Apache Lucene Project? Here are a few ideas which come to my head that a student could take on as a project - Improving the admin dashboard UI - Polishing all our APIs - We have Schema APIs / Config APIs and V2 APIs for stuff like creating collections etc. - Can one take a basic configset and recreate all the remaining configsets that we have in Solr using these APIs ( example-DIH/* , films , techproducts ) .

Re: Google Summer Of Code (I am thinking of mentoring)
Hi Alexandre, I'm planning to volunteer as well. I added LUCENE-7745 as a potential area of exploration that I'm interested in (but not much knowledge about GPGPUs, apart from trying out some basic examples and writing some simple programs on CUDA and OpenCL).

Google Summer Of Code (I am thinking of mentoring)
ASF is in the GSC this year again. They are now looking for committer-access mentors. The announcement went through the Apache Community list. I would like to mentor a student with focus on onboarding activities, maybe generating some better examples, looking at downstream Apache projects using Solr and helping them to move to Solr 6, things like that. Is that a good/bad idea? I know it is a burden time-wise, but I'll give it a try. Stack Overflow may suffer a bit during that period, but çe la vie :-) Any feedback would be welcome, this would be my first time as GSOC mentor.

Google Summer of Code 2016
Hi; I've participated at GSoC 2015 and successfully finished my project at Apache Gora. You can check my contribution from here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GORA-386 After that period, I've been a committer and PMC for Apache Gora: http://gora.apache.org/credits.html I am very very interested at Apache Solr/Lucene. I want to ask that is there any issue which is labeled for GSoC and has a volunteer mentor but nobody is applied? Because I see that there are comments at some issues which asks about volunteer mentors. If there is any issue I will be appreciated to work on it. Thanks; Furkan KAMACI

Google Summer of Code 2015
Hello, Google Summery of Code 2015 has been announced. https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/ I know it is quite far away, but I also seem to remember that last time we did not use it to as much advantage as possible. Is there some sort of organized effort around it for this year? I would not mind being a mentor if things work out and I certainly can contribute a very large set of ideas with descriptions to the ideas list, whether it is me or somebody else actually supervising them.

Re: Google Summer of Code
Unfortunately, the only two GSoC mentors we seem to have this year is David Smiley and myself, and we each are already signed up to mentor one student, and there's at least two other students expressing interest in different issues. So it looks like we have too many students and too few mentors.

I just bulk updated, without sending email, all 22 still-open GSOC issues from past years (with labels gsoc, gsoc2011, gsoc2012, etc.). If anyone has any ideas for good Google Summer of Code projects, or just a fun feature you wish Lucene had but don't have time yourself to build it, please go open a Jira issue and label it with "gsoc2014". You can see them here: http://jirasearch.mikemccandless.com/search.py?index=jira&chg=dds&text=&a1=labels&a2=gsoc2014 The deadline for this is Feb 10 (12 days away!).

If anyone is on the fence on being a GSoC mentor... now is the time to decide!

Hi, We have a few GSoC issues where a student has shown interest but no mentor has yet volunteered: * LUCENE-3907 (fix edge/ngram tokenizers) * LUCENE-3312 (break out StorableField) * LUCENE-2357 (use packed ints to hold mapped merge docs) -- not really sure that last comment is from a GSoCer but maybe... If anyone out there can be a mentor for these issues please go say so on the issue! Students only have 3 more days to finish their proposals...

Is there any information on how many slots Apache got, and which issues will be selected? The student application period opens on the 28th, so I'm just wondering if I should go ahead and apply or wait for the decision.

[GSoC] Apache Lucene @ Google Summer of Code 2011 [STUDENTS READ THIS]
Hey folks, Google Summer of Code 2011 is very close and the Project Applications Period has started recently. Now it's time to get some excited students on board for this year's GSoC. I encourage students to submit an application to the Google Summer of Code web-application. Lucene & Solr are amazing projects and GSoC is an incredible opportunity to join the community and push the project forward. If you are a student and you are interested spending some time on a great open source project while getting paid for it, you should submit your application from March 28 - April 8, 2011. There are only 3 weeks until this process starts! Quote from the GSoC website: "We hear almost universally from our mentoring organizations that the best applications they receive are from students who took the time to interact and discuss their ideas before submitting an application, so make sure to check out each organization's Ideas list to get to know a particular open source organization better." So if you have any ideas what Lucene & Solr should have, or if you find any of the GSoC pre-selected projects [1] interesting, please join us on dev@lucene.apache.org [2]. Since you as a student must apply for a certain project via the GSoC website [3], it's a good idea to work on it ahead of time and include the community and possible mentors as soon as possible. Open source development here at the Apache Software Foundation happens almost exclusively in the public and I encourage you to follow this. Don't mail folks privately; please use the mailing list to get the best possible visibility and attract interested community members and push your idea forward. As always, it's the idea that counts not the person! That said, please do not underestimate the complexity of even small "GSoC - Projects". Don't try to rewrite Lucene or Solr! A project usually gains more from a smaller, well discussed and carefully crafted & tested feature than from a half baked monster change that's too large to work with. Once your proposal has been accepted and you begin work, you should give the community the opportunity to iterate with you. We prefer "progress over perfection" so don't hesitate to describe your overall vision, but when the rubber meets the road let's take it in small steps. A code patch of 20 KB is likely to be reviewed very quickly so get fast feedback, while a patch even 60kb in size can take very - Hide quoted text - long. So try to break up your vision and the community will work with you to get things done! On behalf of the Lucene & Solr community, Go! join the mailing list and apply for GSoC 2011, Simon [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=labels+%3D+lucene-gsoc-11 [2] http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/mailinglists.html [3] http://www.google-melange.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org

Re: Lucene & Google Summer of Code 2011
GSOC has been a great boon to Mahout. +1 on us doing it. Note, committers should subscribe to code-awards@a.o to get on the list to coordinate efforts, as the ASF only gets a certain number of slots.

Big +1. We need all the help we can get... Should we make a wiki page where we can post/iterate on the ideas?
