Re: GSoC 2021 - Student looking for a mentor - Magzum Assanbayev
Hello Magzum, Thank you for the email! I am really glad you are interested in working with Postgres. Have you tried looking at the project ideas? You can find them here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2021 If you have any preference, you are more than welcome to ask questions and clarifications in this mailing list. On the other side, if you have any specific idea about a project you could do which isn’t listed there, we can discuss it. However, it is a bit late to come up with projects now, since the deadline for applications is approaching, so I would recommend you to try one of the proposed ones.

Re: [GSoC 2019] Proposal: Develop Performance Farm Database and Website
Hello, Thanks for the answer. This project is on the official PostgreSQL project list of GSoC 2019, and potential mentors are stated there. I trust mentors’ judgement on outlining the work and the tasks to be done in three months, and there is the previous student’s work to use as example if needed. The project consists in building a database and a website on top of it for users to browse performance data. Let me know whether there are any specific issues you’re concerned about.

GSoC 2023
Greetings -hackers, Our beloved Google Summer of Code is back for 2023, with a format similar to 2022: both medium and large sized projects can be proposed, with more flexibility on end dates. The program will be open to students and open source beginners, as stated in this blog post: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/11/get-ready-for-google-summer-of-code-2023.html Now is the time to work on getting together a set of projects we'd like to have GSoC students work on over the summer. Similar to last year, we need to have a good set of projects for students to choose from in advance of the deadline for mentoring organizations. However, as noted in the blog post above, project length expectations may vary. Please decide accordingly based on your requirements and availability! Also, there is going to be only one intermediate evaluation, similarly to last year. GSoC timeline: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline The deadline for Mentoring organizations to apply is: February 7. The list of accepted organization will be published around February 22. Unsurprisingly, we'll need to have an Ideas page again, so I've gone ahead and created one (copying last year's): https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2023 Google discusses what makes a good "Ideas" list here: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list.html All the entries are marked with '2022' to indicate they were pulled from last year. If the project from last year is still relevant, please update it to be '2023' and make sure to update all of the information (in particular, make sure to list yourself as a mentor and remove the other mentors, as appropriate). Please also be sure to update the project's scope to be appropriate for the new guidelines. New entries are certainly welcome and encouraged, just be sure to note them as '2023' when you add them. Projects from last year which were worked on but have significant follow-on work to be completed are absolutely welcome as well - simply update the description appropriately and mark it as being for '2023'. When we get closer to actually submitting our application, I'll clean out the '2022' entries that didn't get any updates. Also - if there are any projects that are no longer appropriate (maybe they were completed, for example and no longer need work), please feel free to remove them. The page is still work in progress, so it's entirely possible I missed some updates where a GSoC project was completed independently of GSoC (and if I removed any that shouldn't have been - feel free to add them back by copying from the 2022 page). As a reminder, each idea on the page should be in the format that the other entries are in and should include: - Project title/one-line description - Brief, 2-5 sentence, description of the project - Description of programming skills needed and estimation of the difficulty level - Project size - List of potential mentors - Expected Outcomes As with last year, please consider PostgreSQL to be an "Umbrella" project and that anything which would be considered "PostgreSQL Family" per the News/Announce policy [1] is likely to be acceptable as a PostgreSQL GSoC project. In other words, if you're a contributor or developer on WAL-G, barman, pgBackRest, the PostgreSQL website (pgweb), the PgEU/PgUS website code (pgeu-system), pgAdmin4, pgbouncer, pldebugger, the PG RPMs (pgrpms), the JDBC driver, the ODBC driver, or any of the many other PG Family projects, please feel free to add a project for consideration! If we get quite a few, we can organize the page further based on which project or maybe what skills are needed or similar. Let's have another great year of GSoC with PostgreSQL! Thanks!

Re: GSOC: New and improved website for pgjdbc (JDBC) (2022)
Hello Keshav, I quickly went through your proposal and it seems like it could be extended a bit. Do you have in mind a potential layout for the deliverables? Can you split the timeline week by week or at least in 2 week blocks? Can you state any major issues with the current website and how you plan to improve them?

Thanks for the proposal, Arjun! This looks good to me.

GSoC 2022
Greetings -hackers, Our beloved Google Summer of Code is back for 2022! They have once again changed some of how GSoC is going to work for this year, for a variety of reasons, so please be sure to read this email and posts linked for the updates if you're interested! In short, this year both medium and large sized projects can be proposed, with more flexibility on end dates. Everyone interested in suggesting projects or mentoring should review the blog post here regarding the changes: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2021/11/expanding-google-summer-of-code-in-2022.html Now is the time to work on getting together a set of projects we'd like to have GSoC students work on over the summer.

Also, there is going to be only one intermediate evaluation, similarly to last year. GSoC timeline: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline One other thing to note is that anyone over the age of 18 will be eligible in 2022 in addition to students, broadening the pool of potential applicants and changing the terminology of applicants to "contributors". The deadline for Mentoring organizations to apply is: February 21. The list of accepted organization will be published around March 7.
