Hi Russell & Dev list,<br><br>I'm interested in mentoring a csta project, because I know that stuff pretty well. I'm not intimately familiar with asterisk at a developer level though.<br><br>I'd like to know what options to consider.<br>
<br>Straight off the bat I can say that I'm a little concerned with:<br><br>a) signing a developer waiver because I don't see any benefit<br>b) using the asterisk-forge, the ToS state that I must give up my rights to Digium - is this software licensing as well for code that sits inside the svn, or ONLY what is posted on the forge website?<br>
c) re: licensing - if a csta library could be created, what are the options re: licensing, and packaging - asterisk vs asterisk-addons - opencsta redistribution commitments/rights<br>d) finally, which license - opencsta is licensed LGPL written in java - simply because I can always do something with it in a proprietary sense.<br>
<br>These have been questions that have been on the backburner for a couple of months. SoC seems like a good reason to bring them up.<br>Hope you don't mind.<br><br>Cheers<br>Chris<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Greetings,<br>
<br>
The period for organizations to apply for participation in the Google<br>
Summer of Code program for 2010 is next week. That means that by the<br>
end of next week, we need to put together a couple of things:<br>
<br>
1) I need to know who would be willing to mentor a student. This is not<br>
an extremely large commitment. You are there to provide some technical<br>
guidance, as well as general guidance for how to interact with the<br>
Asterisk development community. If you have questions about being a<br>
mentor, there are a number of people on this list that have done this<br>
before and can provide feedback. Feel free to also contact me directly<br>
on this topic.<br>
<br>
2) We need a suggested projects list. Historically, I think our project<br>
ideas have been a bit too big. We need to aim for coming up with<br>
projects more concretely achievable in a summer for a college student<br>
not necessarily familiar with the Asterisk code base. I think coming up<br>
with ideas for specific tests to implement is a really good area to<br>
think about. Please post any project ideas that you have so that we can<br>
discuss them and get them on the list.<br>
<br>
I will be gathering project ideas and saving them here:<br>
