Mentors, put your name and subject ideas here. Based on the results, we'll decide if our implication is serious enough to warrant a GSoC application !

Organization administrator volunteers

• What does an org admin do?
  • Note: there must be more than one admin (a primary and backup)
• [Bryant]
• [Dutta]
• Anne Gentle Note: I'm happy to serve as backup admin. I edited the GSOC Mentors Guide but haven't participated directly before.

Proposed mentors

• Vish Ishaya
  • Alternative Database Implementation: Store data in zookeeper/riak or some other distributed data store
  • Alternative Baremetal Backend: Right now we only support Tilera. It would be awesome to support something else. ARM or basic x86_64 systems.
• Debo~ Dutta
  • Math optimization based network aware scheduling: At a given level/zone, plugin a math solver/optimizer for complex constraint based scheduling decisions for a specified optimization objective.
  • Scaling openstack: Scale the data store and query layer for Openstack that enables efficient resource allocation and monitoring/consumption of events.
• Hitesh Wadekar
  • Improvement code for Quantum plugin communication to Open vSwitch. (Based on perfomance - Time and Space complexity).
  • Improvement novaclient code for Openstack + XCP toolstack. (Based on perfomance - Time and Space complexity).
  • Optimized scheduling algorithm to achieve optimization for cloud scheduling problems. An automated scheduling policy which can allocate the virtual machines in a flexible way to permit the maximum usage of of virtual resources
  • Implementing Greedy, Round Robin, Dyanamic Round Robin, Queueing in Openstack Scheduler.
  • Test automation framework for OpenStack Dashboard.
  • Adding unit test coverage for the integration testing of openstack.
  • Improvement or discover code for OpenStack + Hyper-V intergration.
• Adam Young
  • Keystone HTTPD support
  • Eventlet support for GSSAPI
  • Support for Splitting authentication and authorization over multiple LDAP servers
  • PKI Based Tokens
• Soren Hansen
  • Improving (unit) test coverage in Nova
  • Implement a fake DB driver
