Re: Lucene Projects for the Open Source Software Engineering Course at Carnegie Mellon

Hey Mike , I am catching up on this, I noticed that intra-segment concurrency was added to the topics. Having worked on the first steps, I'd like to be involved in it if progress is made on it. Could you add my name to the doc please? Cheers Luca On Sun, May 11, 2025 at 5:12 AM Stephen Walli wro

Re: Lucene Projects for the Open Source Software Engineering Course at Carnegie Mellon

All: These are great! Thank you for your participation. The intent of the project work is to expose the student teams to real work in real software. If a project ends up in a dead-end then it's a dead-end and I would look to the students (working with the mentors) to write up the experiment and wh

[Adding Stephen back on the "To:" line (not sure if he's sub'd to Lucene dev list).] Stephen, it looks like we have a nice collection of possible projects in the Google Doc ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/10luAXYfHDe3j_pF9dslPdDzDMHaUqMTmnPI6QEgUP4w/edit?usp=drivesdk) and a number of mentors

Re: Lucene Projects for the Open Source Software Engineering Course at Carnegie Mellon

Hi Stephen, Project ideas are quite high level at this stage and will likely hit roadblocks as we progress. Some of them may even get abandoned due to good technical reasons, like performance overhead. Are students required to have their projects completed and merged into the repo? Also, what happ

All: Thank you for your interest. Here is the course description: 99-520 Applied Software Engineering for the Real World with Distributed Teams . You're looking under the "Remote Options" courses. Often the project descri

Stephen, I am not a Lucene committer (yet), but have a good understanding of certain parts of the codebase. I am also a contributor for the Apache Solr project (built on top of Lucene) so that too helps with the understanding. I am happy to team up with one of the committers and help out as a mento

Re: Lucene Projects for the Open Source Software Engineering Course at Carnegie Mellon

What a great way to get some new contributors onboarded to Lucene! Thanks for connecting here Stephen. I'm a committer on Apache Lucene and would be happy to help as a mentor. Since you requested questions, here's one to get us started ;) – Could you share links to past projects students have done

Re: Lucene Projects for the Open Source Software Engineering Course at Carnegie Mellon

I wouldn't exactly call us a Lucene company but the CEO and CTO (Tim Potter) at my company are both Lucene contributors in the past. Tim is a committer. I don't think the CTO has the bandwidth to mentor too much for a couple months, but I certainly can make time. He will also be able to help more i

All: Mike McCandless pointed me to the dev list and he kindly started a google doc with project ideas . I've been co-teaching a summer internship course this past couple of summers at CMU. The core of
