Re: [hibernate-dev] Everyone: Need volunteers for mentoring GSOC

Hi, I'll write up the proposal for the batch job for mass indexing and submit it to https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/JBossCommunityGoogleSummerOfCode2016Ideas . > It would need to be someone who's regularly contributing already... Personally I don't think that's needed and also it's not in the spirit of GSoC. The program is meant to bring students *into* OSS development. Of course having experience in that area doesn't harm, but it's no requirement. Much more important is the general attitude (willingness to learn etc.) as well as general programming knowledge. Student's applications start on March 14th, so whatever we feel like going for, should be in that proposal list by then. --Gunnar 2016-03-01 18:27 GMT+01:00 Sanne Grinovero <sanne(a)hibernate.org&gt;: > Hi all, > earlier today in our IRC meeting [1] we discussed ideas for Google > Summer of Code; > mostly related Hibernate Search but not only: > > Quoting the previous summary by Gunnar: > 1 - Java Batch API job for HSEARCH mass indexing > 2 - Solr backend > 3 - HSEARCH support for JHipster > 4 - HSEARCH support for Spring Data > 5 - Async API for ORM/OGM/HSEARCH > [It's not a closed list, you can also propose additional ideas.] > > is anyone on this mailing list interested enough on these subjects to > volunteer mentoring? > > I mentored two students last year and we had nice results, but I won't > be able to mentor this summer. > > It would need to be someone who's regularly contributing already, and > ideally someone familiar with the technology we're integrating with: > most of the above proposals are about integrating with some other > standard or framework. > > For example I wouldn't mentor on JHipster as all I know about it is > what I've seen in a couple of presentations... but if the student is > not too junior he can also be tasked with reaching out to "the other" > community to get guidance. > > But for that I'd want us to be able to make some introductions at > least, to have some kind of "co-mentor" volunteered by the other > community/project. > > Thanks, > Sanne > > > 1 - http://transcripts.jboss.org/meeting/irc.freenode.org/hibernate-dev/2016/... > _______________________________________________ > hibernate-dev mailing list > hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
