Hello, The Apache Software Foundation is going to be a mentoring organization on Google Summer of Code (GSoC) this year (see invitation below). I think it's a great opportunity to get involved and bring fresh blood into the Cassandra community.
I co-mentored a GSoC project with Yuki Morishita in 2016 and it was a great experience. We have also participated in the Google Season of Docs in 2019 and 2020 (led by Dinesh) and there were some relevant contributions so we should encourage participation in these initiatives. The way GSoC works on ASF [1] is to mark JIRA tickets eligible for GSoC with the label "gsoc2021" so they're visible in the ASF-wide GSoC projects list. Mentors wishing to volunteer for a GSoC project should tag the respective ticket with the "mentor" label. Projects can be mentored by one or more co-mentors. Non-committers can volunteer to be a mentor as long as there is a committer as co-mentor. I have triaged an initial list of project ideas on this link [2], feel free to add more tickets or add comments to the existing suggestions on whether you think the proposed suggestions are a good fit or not for GSoC. I propose gathering and discussing suggestions until the end of January and then start adding the labels on JIRA so prospective participants can start finding and refining projects with mentors before the application period starts. Please let me know what you think.
