Accepted In The Google Summer of Code
I have been selected for the Google Summer of Code application!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I will be working on JackRabbit, a really interesting repository project based on the JSR 170 (the Java Content Repository API).
Here is the project: Jackrabbit Backup.
“Implement a tool for backing up and restoring content in an Apache Jackrabbit content repository. In addition to the basic content hierarchies, the tool should be able to efficiently manage binary content, node version histories, custom node types, and namespace mappings. Incremental or selective backups would be a nice addition, but not strictly necessary.”
I assume I will have a busy summer and a brand new Apple laptop (:D) at the end of the summer.
I will post here regular updates on how everything going… This will be useful at least for next year contestant.

Whoa! You’re right! That is enough to get an Apple laptop. I never thought of it that way before. In comparison to my university fees and tuition, it’s really a small amount. But in terms of Apple laptops, it’s quite a lot!

It just need not to overheat :p
I hope this problem will be solved when the Google SoC would be over, so we can use it for real
What’s your project?
