Call for OSPP 2025 Projects

[PsiACE]

Hi, All.

UPDATE: We still have two project quotas for this year.

This is the third time we have been approved as an organization to participate in OSPP, and I am glad that I continue to be the liaison. We are looking for project ideas that can benefit the Apache OpenDAL™ and the open source ecosystem.

If you have a project idea that you would like to propose, please comment below this post with the following information:

• Project Name: A brief and catchy title for your project.
• Project Description: A detailed explanation of what your project aims to achieve, why it is important or useful, and how it relates to OpenDAL or open source in general.
• Difficulty: A rough estimate of how challenging your project is, based on the skills and experience required. You can use one of these levels: Basic, Advanced.
• Project Output Requirements: A list of deliverables or outcomes that you expect from the project, such as code, documentation, tests, demos, etc.
• Project Technical Requirements: A list of technologies, tools, frameworks, languages, or platforms that you plan to use or learn for the project.

Please note that submitting a project idea does not guarantee that you will be accepted as a candidate for the OSPP program. At this stage, we are only collecting and discussing potential projects. This is not a formal application process. The final selection of candidates and mentors will be based on the quality of the project proposals, the availability of mentors, and the compatibility of skills and interests. We will inform you of the next steps and the application process once we have finalized the list of projects. Thank you for your interest and participation!

We encourage you to be creative and innovative with your project ideas, but also realistic and feasible. We also welcome collaboration and feedback from other community members, so feel free to comment on each other’s proposals and offer suggestions or support.

The deadline for discussing project ideas is April 28th, 2025. Because we need to finish the submission on the May 4th. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you on some amazing open source projects!

One possible project is to build OpenDAL release tools, such as those mentioned in #5594.

Perhaps we could start a project to refine Opendal's Python documentation and examples.
