Tahir,

I've extended an invitation through GCI for you to become a mentor for the
PostgreSQL
organization, and have sent an additional email containing information on
how to get started
with contributing to this year's contest. We have one month left to get
over a hundred tasks
uploaded, so that is our current priority!

The PostgreSQL wiki link has the current list of tasks available as well as
a full list of other
mentors in the program for this year, found here:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GCI_2018

Thank you very much for your interest - we're thrilled to have you be a
part of GCI 2018!

Sarah

Thanks Sarah,

I have received the emails and invitation. Now, I am reviewing all stuff
and will respond with my ideas within a day.

Honorable Concern,

I am planning to mentor these ideas IN Google Code-in as these are
learning, interesting, informative and doable for young students:

Compare PostgreSQL with another RDBMS:
• DB2
• MySQL
• Oracle
• SQLite
• MS SQL Server
• Sybase

Compare PostgreSQL with a NoSQL Column Database:
• Accumulo
• Cassandra
• Druid
• HBase
• Vertica

Compare PostgreSQL with a NoSQL Document Database:
• Apache CouchDB
• ArangoDB
• BaseX
• Clusterpoint
• Couchbase
• Cosmos DB
• IBM Domino
• MarkLogic
• MongoDB
• OrientDB
• Qizx
• RethinkDB

Compare PostgreSQL with NoSQL Key-value Database:
• Aerospike
• Apache Ignite
• ArangoDB
• Berkeley DB
• Couchbase
• Dynamo
• FairCom c-treeACE
• FoundationDB
• InfinityDB
• MemcacheDB
• MUMPS
• Oracle NoSQL Database
• OrientDB
• Redis
• Riak
• SciDB
• SDBM/Flat File dbm
• ZooKeeper

Compare PostgreSQL with a NoSQL Graph Database
• AllegroGraph
• ArangoDB
• InfiniteGraph
• Apache Giraph
• MarkLogic
• Neo4J
• OrientDB
• Virtuoso

Kindly share your precious thoughts and feedback, thanks in anticipation.

Tahir,

Thank you for spending time thinking of task ideas!

We are ideally attempting to think of tasks that could benefit PostgreSQL
as a whole either through code, outreach/advocacy, quality assurance, or
design based contributions, as that seems to be the trend for other tasks
submitted by open source organizations. Additionally, we'd like to avoid
comparison style tasks to prevent negative connotations or press around
PostgreSQL or competing databases.

As an alternative, could you perhaps write up some tasks around "Performing
and Documenting backing up a PostgreSQL instance"? There could be specific
unique tasks for each of the backup tools, such as pgBackRest, pg_dump,
pg_basebackup, pgBarman, wal-e, and wal-g. I would write up the
requirements as being "Write up a 1000 word (minimum) essay" and
"include a paragraph
explaining in which situation the tool you're working with would be best
suited".

It would most likely fall under the "Research" or "Documentation"
categories, for researching and documenting their steps taken.

Following that, you could add in additional unique tasks for similar ideas,
such as:

- "Write up a new user guide for pgBackRest based on a s3 backup
architecture."
- "Compose a cheat sheet for backing up and restoring a PostgreSQL
instance using X backup tool."
- "Create well-designed online graphical resources / cheat sheets for
common PostgreSQL operations for the Online Resources
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/online-resources/> page on
PostgreSQL.org."
- "Create a video tutorial explaining how to backup and restore a
PostgreSQL instance using X backup tool."
- "Create a video tutorial explaining how to upgrade a PostgreSQL
instance from 9.6 to 10."

Thank you!
