Alex, thanks for bringing this out! This is a great opportunity for our community to find talented students who are capable of adding new features to Ignite. I can take care of all the paperwork. The features list won’t be a big deal as well. But we need mentors who will voluntarily dedicate their time helping the participants.
Well, here is a list of features that pop up immediately out of my head and that I would like to offer to GSoC (Google Summer Of Code). Native client for Python (data grid, compute grid, continuous queries). Native client for Node.JS (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-961 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-961>) Kubernetis integration (IGNITE-4159 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IGNITE-4159>). Spark Data Frames API implementation. Machine Learning Grid implementation or integration with Spark MLib. Any other features? As for the mentoring I can take over one or two of the following - Kubernetis, Machine Learning or Node.JS. Is there anyone else who can try a role of a mentor? — Denis > On Dec 19, 2016, at 8:15 PM, Alexey Kuznetsov <akuznet...@apache.org> wrote: > > Igniters! > > What do you think about participating in Google Summer Of Code 2017? > See: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc > > The Google Summer of Code, often abbreviated to GSoC, is an international > annual program, first held from May to August 2005, in which Google awards > stipends (of US$5,500, as of 2016 ) to all students who successfully > complete a requested free and open-source software coding project during > the summer. > > Students will work on some issues in Ignite. > Ignite community will provide mentors for those students and answer > students questions on dev list. > Google will pay students. :) > > We need to prepare list of tasks that will be useful for Ignite and could > be finished in three months by students. > > What do you think? > -- > Alexey Kuznetsov
