Re: AW: [jwt-dev] Google Summer of Code

Hi Florian

Thanks for this input, I'll add one.

And nice research work and congrats to your team, it's obviously valuable to have analysis of formal validation of workflows - notwithstanding any custom constraints that would be plugged in an extensible validation framework !

Marc

Hi Marc,

yes, often it does help Eclipse projects find students. Mostly the students
working on a GSoC topic are not related to the project at all (although I
already have one student that is interested in the JWT View editor topic).
So, in my opinion it is worth a try. Probably two or three topics for each
project should be enough (it doesn't make sense to have a list of ten
topics...).

Concerning the Validation mechanism you mentioned: some students of mine
developed in the last months a plugin for the validation of workflows. They
have already finished the development and are currently documenting the Java
code. The only problem is here that they rely on a GPL component (our
Wf-Codegen framework), so I'm not sure whether it is possible to contribute
that into JWT. We'll see.
However, if you are interested in that, please find their documentation
attached to this email.

But some of the other topics would be great for GSoC!
Best regards,

Florian

Hi Florian

Nice, however on Open Wide's side (and I guess any not big company), the
real problem is to get interns rather than money !

Though if you have some students of your own, I'd be more than happy to
propose ideas that will help JWT become a more complete and polished product
^^ Ex. Extensible validation mechanism using STP's basis, Deployment and
even debug tools in Eclipse, UI-configurable ATL transformation using your
ATL-based converter or maybe its use to import Visio also thanks POI libs...

Or do you think that putting ideas there will help finding students ?

Regards,
Marc

Hi all,
somewhere in the near future the deadline for the Google SoC program ends. Therefore, it is already possible to specify some details about work items that one would like to have and possibly to mentor. I already added one idea for the extension of the JWT view editor for aspects and conf-files. If you can think of any other things and maybe would like to mentor it, feel free to add it to the same page, too: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009_Ideas#Ideas If the idea is chosen and you find a student that would like to work on this topic, then the student gets a reward of $ 4,500. Alas, you don't get anything from the funding ($ 500 go to the Eclipse Foundation), but you will get some (hopefully good-quality) code! So this should be enough motivation for both parties (students and mentors) to work on this together. Last year there had been about 20 proposals and nearly all of them were funded by Google (only two students who stopped working didn't receive the money) - at least they said so at last years Eclipse Summit Europe. Best regards, Florian
