Обсуждение: Summer of Code Java?

JDBC & PL/java hackers,

Wouldn't this be a good summer to attract a Summer of Code student to work on
JDBC4, or PL/Java?  Can any of you be a good mentor?

=======================

Over the last 2 years, Google Summer of Code has been responsible for
several new features of PostgreSQL: XML, ghost XID, phpPgAdmin upgrade,
and more, as well as some new long-term contributors to the project.  We
want to have an equally good summer this year.

So: we need PostgreSQL contributors to volunteer as mentors.  As
well as the core code, *any* project in the PostgreSQL "family" is
eligible, including drivers, GUIs, documentation, replication,
applications and tools. Don't be shy!  Pass this along to sub-projects of
PostgreSQL which might be eligible.

Mentors must be patient, friendly, easy to stay in touch with,
knowledgeable about their project areas, and able to commit to spending
several hours a week helping their student(s) from May to August.

GSOC is an unparalled opportunity for our project to recruit new
contributors, and get students interested in databases.  We have less than
week to get everything together.  So please respond soon!

Hello Josh,
Though the open source project MyJSQLView now as the basic interface
in place for postgreSQL, improvements could be made. If this project falls
into the area of interest with the Java Summary of Code guidelines then
I could
provide mentoring. There are many areas of the project's development
that will
occur in Phase III which are more involved with data analysis rather
than the
PostgreSQL JDBC. These are definite areas that the team would welcome
help/mentoring. Since the project is already set up at Sourceforge it
would be
very easy to get students involved and coding.

Is there somone on *your* team prepared to be a mentor?

And can we persuade you to change the project name?  ;-)

as long as someone takes up the results and integrates them back into
the real project.    I'm tired of finding FOSS projects that claim some
cool feature thats important to me, then when I dig down into it, its a
pointer to the original SoC project page, and the code is half baked and
not integrated  :-/

Postgresql has a bsd license. What are your thoughts on releasing
under a bsd like license ?

Dave

I withdraw my offer.

1. I'm not going to post in a forum or list the commitment for
    others that contribute to the project. I thought it was clear
    from my post, I would mentor.
2. I'm not changing my project name. No smiley here.
3. I do not see the need to change license for existing code that
    has now been released to the public for almost a year and half,
    just to mentor students that wish to gain some valuable programming
    experience. There is no correlation here. Tom, I would of at least
    reviewed this, but 1. & 2 gave me indigestion, and now I
    have no interest.
