Greetings!

I am very pleased to be able to announce that the PostgreSQL project has
been approved for 4 GSoC projects this year!

Thanks for the hard work!

Google's process has gotten a lot more rigorous over the years, and in
under-appreciated consequence, people who would rather be doing other
things on projects get to shoulder that burden.

The four projects are:

- Add errors handling and parallel execution to COPY

Student: Alexey Kondratov
Mentors: Anastasia Lubennikova, Alexander Korotkov, Alvaro Herrera

- Eliminate O(N^2) scaling from rw-conflict tracking in serializable
transactions

Student: Mengxing Liu
Mentors: Alvaro Herrera, Kevin Grittner

- Explicitly support predicate locks in index AMs besides btree

Student: Shubham Barai
Mentors: Andrey Borodin, Kevin Grittner

- Foreign Keys for Array Elements

Student: Mark Rofail
Mentors: Alexander Korotkov, Stephen Frost, Alvaro Herrera

Good luck to all, and welcome to Alexey, Menxing, Shubham, and Mark!

Best,
David.
