Hi,

Does HBase have a list of potential project ideas for GSoC 2011?  I couldn't
find any mentions of that on the ML or Wiki.  I'm asking because the deadline is
less than 1 month away.

Hey Otis:

Usually we'll take a few of the interesting issues and do a sales spin
on them to make them look xtra-attractive to sniffing students.

HBase has put in for some of the Apache allotment of GSOC students
twice previous  On the first application, we got no students because
of a technicality and on the second application, we didn't get a
student because we were unlucky; there are too many Apache projects
competing for the slots alloted to Apache foundation (Last year we
were lucky in that we got a student via FB's GSOC application.  The
gentleman did good work on hbase-50).

We should for sure make application again this year.  I can dig up our
old applications if that'll help (or I suppose they are available up
in the GSOC site).  What I'm not sure about is if we should go in
under the Apache umbrella or make application instead individually as
the HBase project, aside from Apache, or maybe we should make
application as Sematext, FB, or TM.

For a view from a different perspective, Mahout got a few students each of
several years of GSoC.  The reason
was largely that the committers (including me) were very aggressive about
recruiting good students who wandered
by and about volunteering to serve as mentors.

The result has been mixed, some students have done very well, some have not
done well.  My own success rate is about
50%.  The net result has, I think, been quite positive.  The gain has not so
much been due to the code that was contributed
but the fact that we have gained some very good committers and contributors.
