Re: [pgsql-advocacy] GSoC 2014 - mentors, students and admins

Hi all,

I'd very interesting in taking part in the GSoC with PostgreSQL, as a
student.
Being quite busy at the moment (exam time), I haven't had time to think of
a subject yet, even though I could see some topics I found interesting.

Indeed, I've been unlucky last year when I tried to apply to a subject with
Madlib, mostly due to their lack of reactivity. Even though their subjects
interest me, I don't intend to try my luck again.

What kind of work do you have in mind?

IMO, the best place would be the wiki page for GSoC (
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2014), it would avoid interested
students (including me :) ) having to look for possible subjects in lots of
different places.
