Google Summer of Code 2014

OpenStack is applying as a mentoring organization for the 2014 Google Summer of Code. Check Google Developers site for more information on how the program works. We need to get in this time!

Link to call for participation: here

Link to FAQs: here


What is Openstack?

Openstack is: an Open Source Cloud Computing platform that will meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable.

It's computing, storage, networking, and all the other bits that help make the cloud, The Cloud.

Mentors

Due date: February 14, 19:00 UTC.

If you're interested in mentoring for this round, please add your name, email, IRC handle and the kind of projects you're interested in mentoring here:

  • Debo Dutta
  • Davanum Srinivas
  • Alejandro Cabrera: (Queues, Oslo)
  • Yathiraj Udupi
  • Fei Long Wang (Glance)
  • Boris Pavlovic aka boris-42 (Rally)
  • Sergey Lukjanov (Savanna) - proxy to help find mentor in Savanna community
  • Colin McNamara (OpenStack Docs) - OpenStack Training and ToolChains
  • Sriram Subramanian (Fuzz Testing) - OpenStack Security

Students

Students application period opens March 21 and ends on April 21.

If you'd like to get started on your proposal early, go ahead and add your name, location, e-mail, IRC handle and the project you are interested in (if you already know about that!) here:

  • Adnan Khan, Canada, khnd06@gmail.com [project not selected yet]
  • Anastasios Andronidis, Greece, andronat_asf@hotmail.com. Proposed: Glance Scalable Image Precaching
  • Artem Shepelev, Russia, e-mail: shepelev.artem@gmail.com, ashepelev at irc.freenode.net, OpenStack Scheduler.
  • Victoria Martínez de la Cruz - Argentina - victoria@vmartinezdelacruz.com - vkmc - OpenStack Message Queue (Marconi)
  • Wei Wang, China, damon.devops@gmail.com, Neutron & Keystone
  • Kumar Rishabh, India, email: shailrishabh@gmail.com [would fill more details later]

Communication

Get in touch with mentors and students through the openstack-dev mailing list.

Also, you can find us at IRC in #openstack-gsoc at irc.freenode.org.

Ideas

Here are some project suggestions students can choose for their applications. This doesn't mean students have to stick strictly to this list; don't hesitate in propose projects by your own. For the latter, it would be great if you could submit a draft proposal and a estimated timeline.

When writing your proposal, try to estimate your timeline to fit the 4 month period of GSoC coding. Also, take into account that GSoC does not consider other projects than coding, so other ideas (like community tasks or i18n efforts) are not suitable for this internship.


Fuzz Testing (various projects)

Difficulty
Topics testing, tempest
Mentor
  • Implement a Fuzz testing framework that can be run on Tempest or a similar framework
  • Enable project by project, success being enabling on at least 1 complete project


OpenStack Scheduler (Gantt)

Gantt provides a common scheduler framework for use by various OpenStack components.
