Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Henry Saputra
I have seen some interests from students about Flink.

Maybe should officially submit proposal to Google summer of code this year?

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
2015-02-13 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 gsoc2015, 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, ...) and record them at [5].

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact [hidden email] if you need assistance.

[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2015 shortly).

3. subscribe to [hidden email]; restricted to potential
mentors, meant to be used as a
private list - general discussions on the public
[hidden email] 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!

Cheers,

Uli

P.S.: Except for the private parts (label spreadsheet mostly), this
email is free to be shared
publicly if you want to.

Some of the community members here have already some experience with GSoC
because back in the Stratosphere days we were also participating in GSoC.

In my experience its more work than one might think in the beginning. But
it would be great if some committers in the projects agree to mentor some
students.
I'm pretty loaded with work right now and it would add too much to my
stress level to mentor a student. But I would be willing to help out with
answering questions on the ML etc.

Re: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Fabian Hueske-2
I think it would be good to participate in GSoC and would be available as a
mentor this year as well.
The following projects from our project wiki page could serve as nice GSoC
projects, IMO:

- Improving monitoring (I hope we make some progress in that direction
until GSoC starts, but there will be more metrics to collect and to
visualize.)
- Spatial data analysis API
- Cascading on Flink

Who else would volunteer to be a mentor?
Do you see other potential GSoC projects, e.g., in Flink Streaming, Gelly,
or the planned ML library?

Cheers, Fabian

Re: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Márton Balassi
Hey,

As for streaming Gyula and myself would be available for mentors.

- Integrating streaming to the webclient
- Runtime monitoring for streaming
- Collect method for DataSet/DataStream -> scala stream and shell
integration

Hey,

And as for a more general but awesome topic is Batch-Streaming integration.

There will be a lot of subtopics in this one.

Cheers,
Gyula

Re: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Vasiliki Kalavri
Hi,

I can certainly see some ideas we have for Gelly making nice GSoC projects,
but I'm not sure I will have enough time to devote as a mentor.

@Fabian and others who were mentors last year: can you share a bit about
your experience and specifically about your workload during GSoC? What were
your responsibilities and when was your help most needed?
Preparation/description of the project, during development, during the end?


The thing is that currently and for the next ~2 months I'm quite
overloaded, but this will hopefully change after I finish my internship and
some paper deadlines pass :)

Thanks!

-V.

Re: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Robert Metzger
I would like to see a GSoC student working on Gelly.

The issue with GSoC is that it requires you to be available constantly ;)
In my opinion its important to spend a few hours each week (2-5) to review
and discuss the work. Its important to do that frequently. otherwise the
student is idling.

You find the timeline here:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015 .. so you can
check how it fits your schedule.
I think there are two big parts which involve a lot of work:
a) the "application phase", when many students are hitting the mailing
lists. Its a lot of work for the community, not so much for the mentors.
(We have to answer questions, review changes, .. )
b) The work-phase in GSoC requires time from the mentor. As I said, for
being a good mentor, you'll have to spend 2-5 hrs a week.

There is a really good guide on mentoring students for GSoC here:
http://flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/

Re: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Stephan Ewen
I think if the ML library general framework and stubs are in place, such
that it is really about implementing linear algebra algorithms, this could
work as well.

The Mahout DSL also offers a good framework, we may go for a shared
supervision with the Mahout community.

Hey,

Please add the JIRA for the projects, the deadline for the organizations is
tomorrow! Gyula has already added one [1], I'm also adding some.

Re: Google Summer of Code 2015 is coming

Robert Metzger
Hey,

we should create a Wiki page for interested GSoC students containing some
guidance on how to participate in Flink.
I would put there what we expect (I'm again in favor of a code
contribution) and how to get started.
Is anybody willing to take care of this?

Best,
Robert
