Do we have any GSOC2017 ideas for Apache Commons? Tag them with the label "gsoc2017" in Jira!
Any volunteers to mentor GSOC2017 students? All committers are eligible, I guess for Commons that is a bit special (as all ASF committers have write access), but I guess if you have contributed before to any of the Commons components that should be sufficient. GSOC is a good way to engage with fresh developers, and the ideas can be both new/experimental features or incremental improvements and refactoring; although I will admit the first type of ideas often gets more interest. Apache Commons can be a good target for GSOC students as most of our components are independent and easy to get started with. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Ulrich Stärk" <u...@apache.org> Date: 6 Mar 2017 7:39 pm Subject: Google Summer of Code 2017 Mentor Registration To: <ment...@community.apache.org> Cc: "d...@community.apache.org" <d...@community.apache.org> 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!
