Re: Google SoC: Fame and Fortune ($4500) await you!

I'm currently very interested in DBI related stuff, and have a few of my own
ideas, which i'll reveal for your judgement.

I'm thinking about creating a merge between DBI and memcached. So cache
would be handled automaticly and integration would be seamless. This idea
occured to me a few times, since i was writing web app's which took
advantege of memcached. I was always getting tired of manual cache
management, and if you are using some ORM, it even harder to manage cache
propely. With plain SQL you could do something like $cache->set($key ,
$value), and then $cache->get($key), where $key would be your SQL statement,
which work fine in most cases. But using Rose::DB::Object, with it's lazy
loading, could become a caching nightmare (I'm not advertising against
Rose::DB::Object, it's really beautiful peace of software). So i think i
explained general idea of it.
Also in addition to memcached, i was thinking about adding seamless
beanstalkd support, but it should be thought over.

So i'm waiting for your judgement, point me out if i'm loosing general
design in all my thoughts.

The Perl Foundation is participating in Google's 2008 Summer of Code.

http://code.google.com/soc/2008/

This means Google will give "successful student contributors a 4500 USD
stipend, enabling them to focus on their coding projects for three
months."

"In order to participate in the program, you must be a student. [...]
enrolled in or accepted into an accredited institution including (but
not necessarily limited to) colleges, universities, masters programs,
PhD programs and undergraduate programs"

There's a page of key information and suggested Perl-related projects at

http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects

Naturally I'm hoping to find someone interested in helping with
a DBI-specific project:


http://www.perlfoundation.org/perl5/index.cgi?gsoc2008_projects#common_test_suite_for_dbi_and_drivers

but there are plenty of other interesting and useful projects.
