Google is sponsoring the ![[WWW]](/wiki/modern/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}
Summer of Code, and the Apache Software Foundation is one of the participating organizations. This page lists all the subjects currently proposed by the Apache Software Foundation.
Note that applications are closed and that the project is over for this year. The ASF participated in 38 projects, the most of any organization, and we are glad to report this was a success. We hope to participate again next year, or whenever Google (or another company) runs this sort of project.
ASF mentors: please follow the instructions given in committers/summerofcode/2005/MENTORS-README.TXT in the ASF committers private SVN repository (see "committer-only resources" at http://apache.org/dev/new-committers-guide.html if you don't know what this is).
Interest, even by a qualified student, does not mean that any of those project will automatically go ahead. Depending on the number of projects; the number of people able to mentor and the timing we will propably have to make a smaller selection.
Students interested will be asked to devise (together with the mentor if more information is needed) a list of deliverables, some very quantifiable results for the apache community, a detailed description / design document, an approach, an approximate schedule and something of a background text. Or in other words - to sell themselves on this Wiki - and link in their proposals with the projects.
The deadline is June 14th - but you should take into account that it will take several days, (expect 5 to 7 days) of refinement with the mentors/communities to create a proper proposal, with well defined deliverables, which can be sponsored.
Apache Members and experienced Apache committers can add new proposals using the template at the bottom, up to roughly June 7th. We are looking for about 20 interesting projects. Members and committers can also volunteer to mentor or co-mentor proposals. Please co-ordinate with existing mentors for proposals before adding your name there. When in doubt about all this, contact Jim Jagielski (TODO: specify to-be-created mailing list to contact). In typical open source style, we're hammering out some of these procedures as we go along :-). Please don't add proposals for which there are no (prospective) apache mentors available. Please don't add proposals if you have no idea what would be a good proposal.

Ideally, this would permit integration of JAMES mailing lists and newsgroups. |

Now that we're getting close to releasing our rewritten layout engine it would be great to have RTF output releasable, too. The framework for generating RTF is there and many things already work, but there are still many missing features and a number of bugs to be handled so this part of FOP is ready production use. RTF is still a quite important format when enterprises want to create documents from business cases. Unlike PDF and PostScript documents, RTF documents can be opened in Microsoft Word, for example, and manually edited by the user which is a frequent desire. |

Description |
Axis2 is built on top of a XML info-set representation called OM and is independent of the angle bracket representation of the XML info-set. It is possible to have the Axis2 to work on the one of the other representation XML infoset. Among them the binary serialization is very important as it can yield high performance.Axis2 reads the information via the XMLReader in the Stax interface and write the information via the XMLWriter interface. So the task of implementing the binary serialization support to Axis2 can be achieved by implementing an XMLReader and XMLWriter that reads and write to Binary representation of XML. |
