[Maria-developers] Interest in Contributing to MariaDB and participation in GSoC 2015
Hello, I am Tekang Mengwe, a third year Accounting student at the University of Buea. I am interested in contributing code to MariaDB and participating in the 2015 round of the Google Summer of Code. While looking at the projects. I'm interested in Database replication and would love to do some work in this respect. I am proficient in C/C++ and code as a hobby. I will greatly appreciate any assistance in this respect. Regards, Tekang

This is great! At the moment - it's too early for GSoC - we haven't even prepared a GSoC 2015 page with project ideas. But they will come from our task/bug tracker anyway, and a couple of weeks ago we've started preparing tasks. Take a look at https://mariadb.atlassian.net/issues/?jql=labels%3Dgsoc15 and don't hesitate to ask if something isn't clear. Over time we'll clarify these tasks and add more of them. But all GSoC 2015 tasks will be tagged with gsoc15 label, so that url above will always show the up-to-date list of GSoC 2015 tasks. Regards, Sergei

If you are interested in replication, I would recommend this task in particular: MDEV-4991: GTID binlog indexing https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-4991 This is an important task, as it solves a bottleneck that currently exists when many slave servers connect to one master. And it should be interesting to work on, I think. - Kristian.
Fyi: we have already fixed 4991 (after having quickly browsed the MDEV)... i'll try to contribute it "shortly" /Jonas On Sun, Feb 8, 2015 at 3:28 PM, Kristian Nielsen <knielsen@knielsen-hq.org> wrote:

I don't know if the MariaDB people have this priority, but inplementing CHECK CONSTRAINTS always was an omission in MySQL. You may specify such currently in CREATE/ALTER TABLE. but it is silently ignored. -- Peter -- Webyog On Mon, Feb 9, 2015 at 6:47 AM, Jonas Oreland <jonaso@google.com> wrote:

Right. Strangely enough it was not in Jira. I've added it now - https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7563 Not much content there, the main point is "as in (or close to) SQL Standard". We'll add more content later. Thanks for brining this up! But in the context of this email thread - I feel it's too complex for a GSoC task, it's not something I'd offer a student to do. May be later, when I'll have a good understanding of all implementation steps, I realize that it's not as complex as it looks on the first glance :) Regards, Sergei
Seeing as there's already discussion starting, and already tasks labeled gsoc2015 in Jira, I've created the GSoC 2015 page on the Knowledge Base - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/google-summer-of-code-2015/ Feel free to add details there. ian
