Hello everyone,š

I would like to ask for a task I could do to start contributing to the MariaDB 10.

Right now I am looking for something relatively simple so that I can šfamiliarize myself with the development process.

General databases knowledge:šbasic SQL, relational algebra and database design.
DBMS programming experience: šexternal merge sort and šsort-merge join algorithms šwritten in Java.

These were the projects for a DBMS architecture course I took during my MSc.

Other programming experience: C (loadable kernel module for Linux), š šC++ (no significant experience),

Python (plagiarism detection, web crawler and some other information retrieval projects).

Knowledge of the MariaDB source: none.
Knowledgešusing MySQL/MariaDB: šbasic. šI desinged and set up ašMySQLšdatabase š(32 tables) during my BSc project.

Available time: šabout 25 hours per week for at least 8 weeks.

My personal preferences about the task are as follows:

1) The task should require some coding in either C or C++.

2) There should be a mentor/supervisor for the task

Of course, any suggestions are welcomed.

Thank you for your help.

Best wishes,

Sergey.
