Notes for contributors

Points to consider while choosing any project

1. You meet at least 50 percent of the requirements. The remaining skills can be honed on the go, so don't worry if you lack some.

2. You can relate to the project idea and you have used something related to the project as a user.

3. You are willing more toward learning the skills and less toward boasting about the skills you have already.

Suggested steps after choosing a favorite project

1. Start to use product/tool/API as a user or hello world client application.

2. Setup the development environment for the project and start to use your own build.

3. Look for newcomer bugs and try to get your head around them.

4. Let us know if you feel stuck at any stage.

Idea Proposals

Drogue IoT – CoAP TLS support

Summary of idea:

During last year's Google Summer of Code project, we got a CoAP protocol adapter contributed to the cloud side of the project. However, transport encryption was out-of-scope for the project back then, as that would be been too much for the summer. Building on last year's contribution, this year the protocol adapter could be extended to support CoAP transport encryption using DTLS.

• Learn how CoAP and DTLS are supposed to work
• Find a suitable DTLS implementation
• Extend the existing CoAP protocol adapter in the cloud with support for DTLS

We understand that the combination of Rust, DTLS, and CoAP isn't a mainstream topic. So it is ok for us to learn some of the technologies, during GSoC. However, you should have some basic understanding of what is required, and have a plan upfront. This is not a beginner project.

Knowledge prerequisite: CoAP, Rust, TLS, Kubernetes (not all, but some)

EAT  - Testing Infinite Software Project Versions

Summary of idea:

The innovative part of EAT is creating the test once and testing with any version of the tested software. It may be firstly applied for the JBoss Servers, but, in general, a similar structure, can be used for creating tests about any software with multiple versions or for multiple software programs that have a part of the testsuite in common. EAT is a project under the ΙΔΕΑ statement.

Possible tasks for this project :

Go through the EAT workshop, extending the existing AT testsuites, creating a new testsuite using the AT Structures, apply to android new projects, etc (the students should make their proposals)
