Absence

Been out for a while, right?

Anyways, this blog was intended to report my GSoC 2010 project updates.

Since my mentor asked me to report my progress in another fashion, this thing was kind of abandoned :(

For the ones that are interested on how my last year project was, here are a few links:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-702

As you can see, it was a hard work indeed (and it still is - my patch in currently under review).

But I am coming back! I am thinking of applying to XSF this time. They posted a great idea that really caught my eye! The Open Social Location Server (http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Summer_of_Code_2011_Project_Ideas)

This project involves XMPP, Geolocation and DB scaling techniques.

Now it is time to write the proposal.
Wish me luck!
