What is Google Summer Of Code?

Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program held by Google to bring students into open source software development. Students work with an open source organization on a 3 month programming project during their break from school. See more details at: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/

How we select students:

The student will be more likely selected if he/she:

  1. Contribute to Casbin related project before.
  2. Familiar with the techniques required by the idea he selected.
  3. Show the previous code related to the idea on personal website or GitHub.
  4. Provide a personal website and descriptions for previous work/projects.
  5. Provide demo sites for the previous projects if possible.
  6. Provide a resume/CV.

Get started

  1. Choose an idea from our list: https://github.com/casbin/SummerOfCode2022
  2. Send your resume/CV in PDF to: admin@casbin.org
  3. Do a self-introduction in: https://gitter.im/casbin/gsoc
  4. Get familiar with the existing code, try to solve opened issues for your chosen idea's repo before & after application deadline.
  5. If you have questions, you can ask the mentor of the idea via GitHub or Gitter.
  6. Submit your proposal in GSoC official site. The deadline is TBD.

Casnode

Description

Casnode is a light-weight forum software. It is used by Casbin community as the official developer forum (https://forum.casbin.com/). We hope to fix its bugs and add more features like mailing list to replace the traditional open-source community mailing list.

The current progress is: https://github.com/casbin/casnode

Expected outcomes

Some features to add/improve:

  1. Further optimized the project UI: https://github.com/casbin/casnode/issues/400 Now casnode UI may break on some models, mainly mobile phones, we need to further optimize our project UI to fix it.
  2. Anonymous-Post Note: we may change whether to enable the node's anonymous function via the admin console.
  3. Improve the part of https://forum.casbin.com/api and https://forum.casbin.com/swagger/#/ that provides API externally.
  4. Implement notes, so users could create and publish notes: https://github.com/casbin/casnode/issues/341.

Casbin for C/C++

Description

We already have a C/C++ version Casbin called Casbin-CPP. It already works on all primary OSs, like Windows, Linux, macOS. Most of Casbin's functionalities (for example 90%) should work. There are still many bugs and missing features in Casbin-CPP. Moreover, we also need to make authz middlewares for other C++ projects like Mosquitto and adapters for DB. We also have plan to make Casbin-CPP as a base layer to build the next-generation PyCasbin and PHP-Casbin on top of it (see PyCasbin on CPP) for better performance (a lot of Python packages like numpy and tensorflow rely on the underlying C++ code). So Casbin-CPP needs to provide necessary help if needed for PyCasbin and PHP-Casbin developers.

The current progress is: https://github.com/casbin/casbin-cpp

Expected outcomes

Skills required/preferred

  1. C/C++
  2. Golang (only need to read code)

Casbin for Python

Description

  1. At present, compared to Casbin for Golang, Pycasbin is not very perfect, especially the lack of RBAC API, so we hope that Pycasbin can fully implement the function of Casbin (Go).
  2. PyCasbin's adaptation to various frameworks, such as Django, Tornado, etc.

Pycasbin organization: https://github.com/pycasbin

Expected outcomes

  1. Implement redis-adapter.
  2. Implement etcd-adapter.
  3. Improve performance for enforce().
  4. Complete implementation of PyCasbin-on-CPP.

Casbin.js

Description

Quite a lot of users want to use Casbin to control web frontend UI elements, like:

  1. Some tabs are only visible to admin users.
  2. Some buttons should be grayed-out for users with no permission to click them.
  3. A list can only show filtered items based on a user's permission rights.

Over time we have made node-casbin a cross-platform Javascript permission control library and have called the new library casbin.js. The next step is to refactor node-casbin to a casbin.js-based wrapper. Another possible idea is create a browser-casbin for front-end developers with front-end friendly api.

The current progress is: https://github.com/casbin/casbin.js

Currently, we still lack the middlewares for Angular, React and Vue. These new JS frameworks are very popular and making middlewares for them will boost our usage from their population.

Expected outcomes

  1. Sync progress with node-casbin
  2. Update vue-authz and react-authz to new casbin.js.
  3. Refactor node-casbin to casbin.js wrapper.

Skills required/preferred

  1. Typescript
  2. Node-Casbin
  3. Vue or React development experience
  4. At least one backend language like Golang

Expected outcomes

However, there are still many works that need to be done.

  1. The bottleneck of memory data structure
  • Reconstruction the memory data model
    • We are going to use the buffer pool manager handling very large data that over then RAM
  1. Avoiding full-table scanning
  • Indexes
    • Create indexes for all policies
    • Use Indexes to avoid full-table scanning
  • Basic query optimization
  1. Transaction Implementations

Skills required/preferred

  1. Golang
  2. At least you need to be familiar with the basic concepts of the query optimization, indexing (hash index, B+ tree index), multi-version concurrency control.
