SPDX in GSoC 2023!
|
Alexios Zavras
Hi everyone!
As every year, Google runs their Summer of Code program, where contributors get the opportunity to become part of Open Source communities. The SPDX Project has participated in the program in a number of years in the past. The way it works is that we publish project ideas and, if selected, newcomers to open source express their interest in them. The ones finally selected will spend their summer writing code under the guidance of mentors from our project. In order for contributors to join our community and help us, we have to publish a set of ideas where help is needed!
Therefore, this is a plea for ideas – and more importantly, mentors who can guide the new contributors and help them accomplish their projects!
Firstly, we are looking for project ideas! Either small or large, either incremental improvements to existing open source code or new pieces of software; everything is welcome! Please read the basics on https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list.html and then write a couple of lines on your great idea.
I’ve (hastily) created a special repo for all this: https://github.com/spdx/GSoC Feel free to create PRs with your ideas!
Perhaps even more important than ideas, we are also looking for mentors! Please get in contact via the repo if you are willing to help new members become active participants to SPDX this summer. Each project should have at least two mentors (a primary and a secondary one) who will guide the contributors in their journey.
Feel free to open an issue in the repo if you want to discuss in more detail any of the above. Looking forward to lots of participation!

PS. I’ve already added a project idea: help on the spec generation from our model files. Off the top of my head I can think of other ideas like:
But all these need mentors, otherwise they cannot be realistically proposed.

Hello! Congratulations to spdx for being accepted into GSoC 2023! I'm Rahul and have been a gopher for around 4 years now and I'd love to contribute to fixing manifest parsers for the SPDX generator. I've already gone through the resources linked on https://github.com/spdx/GSoC, although I couldn't find any good-first-issues on the SBOM generator project. I'll try to start with some low hanging fruits. PS: Do suggest me if I'm missing anything on starting out! Rahul.

Oh cool. This is awesome. Then I and Nisha Kumar are the right persons to talk to! We have a regular community meeting for the project but I am happy to set up some time to get you set up quickly. I'll email you directly to set something up! (Sorry, I forgot to cc the list before) On Thu, Feb 23, 2023 at 12:08 PM Rahul Tiwari <jprrahultiwari@...> wrote:

Awesome! I found these meeting minutes. Are these meetings still active? https://hackmd.io/EQ0DwvvgRnOl2uzPiTYQcw#spdx-sbom-generator-Community-Meeting-Minutes Rahul. On Thu, Feb 23, 2023 at 11:56 PM Adolfo Veytia <puerco@...> wrote:

Hey Everyone !!
Myself Shreyansh Shah, I am currently working as a Software Engineer at Eagle Eye Networks. I majorly work with Golang, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, Grafana, Kubernetes, Istio, Helm Charts, Concourse-pipeline and Jaeger. But I also have experience working with JS (express.js and nest.js), postgresql, mongodb. During my UG studies, I was part of a funded research project, where I majorly worked on 5G-spectrum related problems and as a part of that I published and presented two my research work (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9625383 and https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9625533) at 94th IEEE-VTC conference. For GSoC 2023, I would love to work on Fix Manifest Parsers for SPDX generator. This problem looks very exciting as well as challenging, where I think I already have basic knowledge and ideas but there is still enough scope for me to learn and understand new things. I would love to connect with mentors and discuss this further. It would be a great help, if mentors can assign me some good-first issues. Looking forward to learn and contribute to this amazing community. |
