Folks,

Once again, Google is holding Summer of Code. We need to assess whether
we want to participate this year.

Questions:

- Who wants to mentor for GSOC?

- Who can admin for GSOC? Thom?

- Please suggest project ideas for GSOC

- Students seeing this -- please speak up if you have projects you plan
to submit.

Hello,

Well i'm interested in PostgreSQL for GSOC, i'm not sure for the project
yet. But i'm looking forward in meeting the mentors and speak with them
what could be implemented over the summer.

Thanks,
Sirbu Nicolae-Cezar

I don't mind being an admin again.

I forgot to mark all.

I could be a co mentor, helping in overall coordination and supporting all the students in getting familiar with the project and community etc.

Take a look at the Project Ideas page from last year, and the project
TODO list. See http://www.postgresql.org/developer/summerofcode/#ideas.

One approach is to pick a research paper on some algorithm or technique
that's applicable to databases, and then implement that in PostgreSQL.

Can't we have something related to machine learning? I was thinking of extending a technique where we can fill in some missing values in a data set for the user if he wants us to using some standard ml algorithms.

My suggestion is to rewrite (add) pg_dump and pg_restore utilities as
libraries (.so, .dll & .dylib). For me as a developer it will be a cool
feature. And I can be a mentor for this project of course!

Take a look at MADLib. My suggestion would be extending the MADlib
functions; there's plenty of unimplemented ML algrothims which could be
added to it.

We'd need Peter to be the student for that one :)

I can certainly mentor some packaging/QA/web frontend project(s) in
the apt.postgresql.org area.
