Dear Smalltalkers, I'd like to inform you that we are preparing an application to this year Smalltalk Google Summer of Code under ESUG umbrella, as last year. If accepted, Google will pay few stipendiums to students on our Smalltalk projects. Please start thinking about ideas what projects would be nice to have. Also start looking around for students. How to approach the universitites near by you, do you know who to contact there, etc. To see last year ideas and accepted/done projects, visit last year http://gsoc2010.esug.org. More on our already open special Smalltalk GSoC 2011 website: http://gsoc2011.esug.org I'm specially inviting mentors of all past GSoCs to rejoin the mentors mailing list, where we discuss all details about this year GSoC: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-mentors Best regards Janko -- Janko Mivšek Aida/Web Smalltalk Web Application Server http://www.aidaweb.si

Hello Janko, An idea for a possible GSoC project: Develop a Smalltalk Query Server for CouchDB. With a Smalltalk query server you can specify your queries in Smalltalk (blocks?) using the MapReduce pattern. CouchDB supports JavaScript and Erlang out of the box but CouchDB also offers a protocol to plugin other languages. [1] Jan.

Thanks Jan for your idea. I think such projects to interface other non-Smalltalk systems via network protocols are very valuable and nice candidates for GSoC. They are also not too hard for students to complete in few months available. Also all things interfacing to the cloud are good candidates and because you have quite some experience with the cloud, so I encourage you to provide us with a list of interfaces we still need to develop. To connect to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, .. When we wil have a list, it will be easier to prepare a list of projects and find potential mentors ...
