Google Summer of Code & MySQL University
Today’s been interesting. Its labour day here in Melbourne, so I believe a lot of people are enjoying the long weekend. I on the other hand, have been labouring over the long weekend, and we have stuff to show for it. Via the Forge Wiki:
- Google Summer of Code 2007 – we’ve applied, we’ve identified mentors, and we’ve also identified some project ideas. Last week was rather busy sorting all this out. My boss, Kaj explains it a lot better in his post, Global Warming & Google Summer of Code. Students, do apply to come code with us!
Keep the March 14 – 24, 2007 dates (Cupertino, California time) in your mind students… Thats when the Google SoC opens up. Of course, come March 14 we also certainly hope to be a mentoring organization, with the sole purpose of making MySQL rock! With regards to the wiki page, there’s information on a lot of bugs – we’re doing this so we open the board up a little, as well. We try to be specific, but we also try to be really open about the whole thing so students can cherry pick what interests them. - Thanks to Stefan Hinz, our Documentation lead, we have now opened up MySQL University. This is the Engineering Training Program, so why not come learn with us?
This is still a work in progress, and we’re migrating content (there’s not much yet, so thats a good thing). In the near future, since we’re working out the kinks, this should all be run on freenode as well. In the meantime, go learn about the mysys library & algorithms. Those times are probably when MySQL University will be held, so keep them free in your relevant timezone :P
