Local user interaface for Airavata MFT
NOte: This is an issue in github - https://github.com/apache/airavata-mft/issues/114 cross posting in Jira for GSoC purposes.
Currently, Airavata MFT can be accessed through its command line interface and the gRPC API. However, it is really easy if a Docker desktop-like user interface is provided for a locally running Airavata MFT. The functionalities of such an interface can be summarized as follows
- Start / Stop MFT Instance
- Register/ List/ Remove Storage endpoints
- Access data (list, download, delete, upload) in configured storage endpoints
- Move data between storage endpoints
- Search data across multiple storage endpoints
- Analytics - Performance numbers (data transfer rates in each agent)
We can use ElectonJS to develop this cross-platform user interface. The node.js backend of ElectronJS can use gRPC to connect to Airavata MFT to perform management operations

Apache NuttX
NuttX NAND Flash Subsystem
Currently NuttX has support only for NOR Flash and eMMC as solid state storage.
Although for low-end embedded systems NOR Flash still much used, for some devices that need bigger storage, NAND Flash is a better option, because its price per MB is very low.
In the other NAND Flash brings many challenges: you need to map and track all the bad-blocks, you need to have a good filesystem for wear leveling. Currently the SmartFS and LittleFS offer some kind wear leveling for NOR Flash. It needs to be adapted to NAND Flash.

Rust integration on NuttX
The Rust language is gain some momentum as an alternative to C and C++ for embedded system (https://www.rust-lang.org/what/embedded) and it should be very useful to be able to develop NuttX applications using Rust language.
Sometime Yoshiro Sugino already ported the Rust standard libraries, but it was not a complete port and wasn't integrated on NuttX. Anyway this initial port could be used as starting point for some student willing to add official support on NuttX.
Also it needs to pave the way to support developing NuttX driver in Rust and an complement to C drivers.

TinyGL support on NuttX
TinyGL is a small 3D graphical library created by Fabrice Bellard (same creator of QEMU) designed for embedded system. Currently NuttX RTOS doesn´t have a 3D library and this could enable people to add more 3D programs on NuttX.

SkyWalking
[GSOC] [SkyWalking] Self-Observability of the query subsystem in BanyanDB
Background
SkyWalking BanyanDB is an observability database, aims to ingest, analyze and store Metrics, Tracing and Logging data.
Objectives
- Support EXPLAIN[1] for both measure query and stream query
- Add self-observability including trace and metrics for query subsystem
- Support EXPLAIN in the client SDK & CLI and add query plan visualization in the UI
[1]: EXPLAIN in MySQL
Recommended Skills
- Familiar with Go
- Have a basic understanding of database query engine
- Have an experience of Apache SkyWalking or other APMs

Openmeetings
Add blur background filter options on video sharing - AI-ML
OpenMeetings uses webRTC and HTML5 video to share audio video. Purely browser based.
One feature missing is the ability to blur your webcam's camera background.
There are multiple ways to achieve it, Google Meet seems to use: https://www.tensorflow.org/
Tensorflow are AI/ML models, they provide precompiled models into JS, for detection of face/body it seems: https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs-models/tree/master/body-segmentation is the best model.
Since Chrome 14 there is also a Background Blur API (relying on operating system APIs): https://developer.chrome.com/blog/background-blur - but that doesn't seem to be widely or reliable supported by operating systems yet.
The project would be about adding the background blur into a simple demo and then integrate into the OpenMeetings project. Additionally other types of backgrounds can be added.
Tensorflow TFJS is under the Apache 2.0 License (See LICENSE) and should be possible to redistribute with Apache OpenMeetings.
