Hi All,
I am a final year undergraduate who is willing to participate in GSOC
2013. Because of my earlier experience and future interests, it will
great if I can do a project in phpMyAdmin. So read the ideas wiki
provided by you. I am specially interested in these ideas,
Refactoring: Designer/schema integration
Refactoring: SQL executor, Column's structure manipulation
Refactoring: Server view
Can you provide me further steps to continue to work in these ideas?
Also If I talk about myself a bit, I had the chance to complete my
software engineering internship at WSO2 Lanka Pvt Ltd(www.wso2.com),
which is a leading middle-ware solutions development company. Since
they are using lot of open source projects, had many chances to get a
good exposure to the projects and there code-bases. Also I have did
lot of projects in developing those FOSS products. You can find more
about those from my LinkedIn profile -
lk.linkedin.com/pub/andun-s-l-gunawardana/34/646/703/ or from my blog
http://www.insightforfuture.blogspot.com/
Specially I want highlight the project Streaming XPath Parser for WSO2
ESB (
http://wso2.org/library/articles/2013/01/streaming-xpath-parser-wso2-esb)
which mainly built on top of AXIOM and Data Streams. This
implementation provides a high performance XPath parser to the ESB.
Also the project of Entitlement Servlet Filter implementation for WSO2
Application Server.
http://wso2.org/library/tutorials/2012/12/providing-xacml-fine-grained-auth…
So I think the above highlighted experiences makes me a good candidate
to do a project in GSOC.
Thanks & Regards
Hi Andun,
Thanks for your interest in GSoC. To get you started, you should have
a look at the Applicant Guide [0] on our wiki. It will tell you to
submit a few patches fixing bugs or adding small features to get you
familiar with the codebase of phpMyAdmin. You can also participate in
the contest [1] that is running at the moment, those patches will be
taken into account when you apply for a project.
With regards to the ideas you are interested in, I suggest you read
about Refactoring [2], and have look at the current code to get
familiar and try to find things you can refactor.
