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!
The Google Summer of Code 2021 (GSoC) for the PostgreSQL Project is wrapped up. The timeline this year was shortened to half, compared to previous years. That’s good, because smaller projects can be worked on, and students have a chance to cope with a changing environment at home and university. On the other hand, the shorter time doesn’t allow diving into more complex projects. Nevertheless, with the help of all mentors, six students successfully concluded their projects.
Wow! The PostgreSQL Project got all 7 proposals accepted into Google Summer of Code 2021 (GSoC)!
This year Google changed the participation terms a bit, and cut the time for the students in half. This is supposed to help students who can’t work full-time from home, especially in light of the global pandemic situation. It also means smaller projects, which are easier to handle even for students new to the project.
The three PostgreSQL projects for this year’s Google Summer of Code are on track, and making good progress. All projects expect to finish on time.
The data gathering for performance farm members is completed, as well as the new implementation for the JSON data transfer. The project iteratively updated it’s goals, and adjusted for newly identified UI issues.
Current work centers around making the website more pretty and useful, as well as reducing the number of used JavaScript libraries. The next step is presenting the work to the PostgreSQL Community for broader feedback.
The PostgreSQL Project participates in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2020, with 3 projects. After the “Community Bonding” period finished last week, we are now in the active development phase - “Coding” as Google calls it. All three projects make good progress!
For the 13th year, the PostgreSQL Project is participating in Google Summer of Code (GSoC). This project is a great opportunity to let students learn about Open Source projects, and help them deliver new features. It is also a chance to engage the students beyond just one summer, and grow them into active contributors.
Google Summer of Code 2014 is wrapped up: Maxence Ahlouche did an excellent job implementing one new algorithm for MADlib and refactored the code base for another one.
I posted a more detailled explanation in the Pivotal blog.
Together with Atri Sharma (former GSoC student) and Pivotal Engineer Hai Qian I’m mentoring Maxence Ahlouche in his Google Summer of Code MADlib project.
In the Pivotal Blog I’ve posted a more detailed explanation.
Happy to announce that Maxence Ahlouche has been accepted by both the PostgreSQL Project and by Google to implement clustering algorithms in MADlib during the Google Summer of Code 2014.
Google Summer of Code 2011 is in the second term. Leonardo Sápiras passed the midterm evaluation and continues his work on the phpPgAdmin plugin infrastructure.
