This might be a bit late but I hope I can find an idea and a mentor to work on as a GSOC project. I have worked a bit on MapReduce and gave a talk on it at (http://www.lugmanipal.org/2010/04/09/distributed-computing-and-mapreduce/ ). Are there any projects or tasks which I can take up ? I am a active member of our college's Linux Users Group (http://lugmanipal.org/) and have actively participated in FOSS activities in India, attending Pycon India 2009 and FOSS.IN in 2010. In December 2010 I helped an Indian Institute of Technology , Delhi professor in coding for his research paper on the Quadratic Assignment problem. This march i took part in Startup Weekend Bangalore (http://bangalore.startupweekend.org/) . By the end of the weekend this is what our team made - http://www.makemytripfast.in/ . I would love to be able to contribute and learn from Hadoop community this summer.
