Re: GSoC student accepted

2010-04-30 Thread Bogdan Ciprian Pistol
Hi all,

I think I should introduce myself, so here are few words about myself:
I live in Iasi, Romania. I participated to GSoC in 2006 and 2007 as a
student and in 2008 as a mentor, all editions for ArgoUML.
If you're curious about the projects here are the abstracts:
http://code.google.com/soc/2006/argo/appinfo.html?csaid=71EDD44685540BEC
http://code.google.com/soc/2007/argouml/appinfo.html?csaid=493141D2A136C67B
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/argouml/appinfo.html?csaid=53B7320443D96853

As you found out from Niklas, this summer I will work on adding BOSH
extension to Vysper.
As Bernd noted that "The GSoC proposal is not public, unfortunately"
in a previous discussion, I realized that not all the developers have
access to the internal GSoC infrastructure - that seems to be only for
GSoC mentors. So I published the full official GSoC proposal at
http://sites.google.com/site/bogdanciprian/gsoc2010

For code development infrastructure I guess JIRA patches are the way
to go. Right?

In the proposal, initially I proposed to custom build BOSH
decoders/encoders (plugged in MINA) based on AsyncWeb. But a recent
discussion with Bernd and Niklas revealed to me (and I completely
agree) that usage of some binary embeddable HTTP library is better. As
it was discussed, I intend to try out and compare Jetty and AsyncWeb
in the prototyping phase (also bonding community period).

In the proposal I intend to write a demo application that integrates
JWChat (based on the JSJaC library) with Vysper to show the
capabilities of BOSH.
There are a few problems (Niklas warned me): JWChat is distributed
under GPL and JSJaC is distributed under LGPL.
When I proposed this I was thinking that a third party demo
application (outside of Apache), or just a tutorial on how to
integrate JWChat with code snippets (not full source code) will not be
a problem for JWChat GPL license.
I don't have a preference for JWChat, any Javascript BOSH
implementation that would help to test the BOSH functionality of
Vysper would be good.

Do you know of any alternative client BOSH implementation with an
acceptable license?
What do you think of the JWChat proposed integration - I guess will it
be a waste because it's code cannot be under the Apache license? But
as a third party (outside of Apache) it could exist and will help
testing Vysper, what do you think?

Right. Initially, contributors start out providing patches. People who
fit well into our community will become committers eventually. You'll
never be sure when this happens. Please be patient. :-)

Please consider strophe.js. It is actively maintained, and seems to be
under a liberal bsd'ish license, although not explicitely ASL/BSD.

If you're into reading books, I can recommend "Professional XMPP
Programming with JS and jQuery" from Jack Moffit.

There will be a way we can use that, it won't be a waste of time, but
hopefully we'll find something better.

Again, welcome!

Additionally, since it can be expected that there will be substantial
contribution from you, would you mind to file an ICLA?

See http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas for more info.

Thanks!

Great idea to publish the proposal in open, thanks!

Yeah. I kind of liked the way our GSoC student during last year did
it. He added JIRA issues for each task for the summer. That way it's
easy to track the progress.

Also, when it comes to patches, please keep them small and isolated,
that way it will be much easier to review (and commit) them.

I agree with Bernd, look into strophe.js.

Anyways, again, a warm welcome!
