Reach out on Slack with other questions.

Why can't we add the proposed projects in LFX 2023 Term 03. I seen there are many projects have been proposed and selected three among them - #4457

IMO we can add this

• Support ClickHouse storage in Jaeger V2
• Replace react-vis library for drawing charts
• Upgrade Kafka consumer to IBM/sarama driver

@yurishkuro What are your thoughts on this?

[manulpatel]

Hello @yurishkuro! Will Jaeger be participating in the LFX Mentorship Term 2 2024 (June-Aug)? I am interested in being a mentee and contributing to the Jaeger community and eagerly waiting for the project ideas.

[yurishkuro]

@varshith257 I would like the mentorships laser-focused on Jaeger V2 work, not on side projects.

[varshith257]

Yes, but it seems most of our goals in roadmap of V2 are ongoing. I thought there are few works left in our v2 roadmap:).

I think we can follow the way followed in Phase-1 Mentorship

[yurishkuro]

The summer projects have been proposed, see main issue description.

[varshith257]

@yurishkuro yes, PR is on the way to be merged .

Proposed Projects :

Jaeger-V2 Observability and Healthchecks

Jaeger-V2 Service Performance Monitoring

Jaeger-V2 Kafka-based architecture

I will go with one I proposed earlier Kafka-based architecture and Service Performance projects :)

[Wise-Wizard]

I would like to try again for the Observability issue, as it was already there in the spring term, and I am quite familiar with it!

[nikzayn]

Hey @yurishkuro, I have participated in the same in the LFX mentorship program. I have chosen the Kafka-based architecture enhancement as my summer mentorship. Thanks!!

[yurishkuro]
