Re: [soc-dev] Eclipse Kapua: IoT gateway simulation project idea

[Jens Reimann <jreimann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Anastasiya,

that really sounds like an interesting simulation model. Far more fun than wind parks :)

So I doubt that any student has ever worked with Kapua or Kura. So that shouldn't be an issue at all. I would recommend however to have some idea about the Java language.

As a first step I would suggest to take a look at the Kupaua GitHub repository [1] and see if you can build and maybe run Kapua based on the "Docker" approach. Next have a look at the Kura simulator [2], which has now moved inside Kapua [3] and familiarize yourself with it, because this could be the tool to hook up your simulation model with Kapua. You don't have to understand the details by yourself, that is what the mentors are for.

Working with open source software is rather easy. Learn from the code of others, pay attention when re-using, attribute your sources and finally share your results. Oh .. and if a tools is not working as expected, its your fault because you didn't fix it ;-)

If you run into any problems, have question or need more information, just let me know. I am here to help. You can also reach out to the Kapua mailing list [4].

All the best

Jens

Hello,

 

My name is Anastasiya and I am a student interested in doing a GSoC project for The Eclipse Foundation. I am a second year student at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.

 

The project idea that piqued my interest is the ‘Eclipse Kapua: IoT gateway simulation’. I think it would be interesting to make a fish tank data model. I would like to discuss further details of the project before I write my proposal.

 

I have made a similar simulation as a project for my first-year java programming course, so I feel like I would be able to tackle this project. However, I have no prior experience working with either open-source software, Kapua or Kura, so I would be looking for some guidance in these areas if I was accepted.

 

Thank you for your time. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

 

Sincerely,

Anastasiya Lazarenko
