PostgreSQL Project @ GSoC 2022
As is a good tradition, the PostgreSQL Project participates in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). Last year we submitted 7 projects for 7 students - and got all 7 projects accepted. This year we got quite a few more good proposals from students, and more mentors are helping. Guess what? Google accepted all 12 proposals!
Google modified the program again. For 2021 they cut the time for every project in half, to accommodate for the at-home work during the Covid-19 pandemic. This turned out to be suboptimal, and many larger projects need more time. This year students can choose between “medium” (175 hours) and “large” (350 hours) projects. This gives everyone a chance to scope the project accordingly.
