Обсуждение: Summer of Code Preparation
Folks, I've been warned that Summer of Code is coming up again soon. We need to be ready with proposals which are officially endorsed by the PostgreSQL project. Which means we need: a) Projects which could be accomplished in a summer, and b) Students to do them. We have one or two weeks to get this together. Your help is greatly desired .. and if you're a CS student hacker reading this, drop me a line! -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
If nothing else, any of the 'beginner todo' items are likely candidates, though I suspect none of them individually are enough work for an entire summer. If no one beats me to it, I'll try and compile a list of likely TODOs for this.

A list of simpler TODOs would be great. I might be interested in doing something (probably w/o the summer of code because I have a summer job). We'll see after exams finish.
Please post something about where we can find this TODO list when it is available.
Thanks,
Nathan

TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
Summer of Code projects dont have to revolve around the core project... for example drupal got like 11 projects last year and bricolage got a few too; I got a small list of items that could be looked at that are sort of 3rd party projects, should we attempt to collaborate on putting up a list some place?

I'm not one, but I know some. If there is a link with details and perhaps a list of possible projects, I'll be happy to spread the word.

One idea that comes to mind is to come up with a list of popular OSS projects that we'd like to see add PostgreSQL support and have students work on those... As for finding students, I believe a call on -general and -announce would probably produce results. I know there's some professors on the lists (most likely to be on -general...)

As nice an idea as this is, we'd also need to quickly co-ordinate with those projects to make sure that there is a semblance of a chance of having those patches included in their distribution ... I realize that the Code of Summer program doesn't need a guarantee that the code will be committed, but if we're going to do something like the above, would rather see it done for projects that wanted the end results ... > > As for finding students, I believe a call on -general and -announce would > probably produce results.

Absolutely, though we can't do that without a list of possibilities first. People want to start throwing out names? (I can't really think of any off the top of my head, other than OpenQRM, but I have ulterior motives for that one so perhaps my vote shouldn't count. :) ) -- Jim C.

How about Postgres-R for PostgreSQL-8? Even if nothing comes out of it, both databases and group communications are excellent CS topics for a student. Cheers, Patrick
