I was a little worried last week with regards to our Google Summer of Code status, but I’m glad to see that MySQL has been accepted, for a third year running, for the Google Summer of Code 2009.
Mentors & students alike, check out the ideas page. You as a student can even submit ideas, and we’ll look for a mentor for you, naturally.
Things we’re looking for:
- Simple bug fixes
- Improvements in documentation of code
- Test suite improvements
- New features, but simple enough to implement in timeframe
- Pet projects
- Extending tools, creating new tools that support MySQL
- Wider ecosystem that is MySQL – this means I’m looking at you, Drizzle, even
Again, if you have any queries, drop me a line via email, as I’m the Program Administrator again :)
