A gist of my summer with Apache Airavata during GSoC 2017

This summer, I was very fortunate to work on the Apache Airavata open source project as part of the Google Summer of Code. My mentor Suresh Marru and the whole team at Airavata were very helpful. I worked on a few features of Airavata which I will summarize in this post.

My Contributions:

During this period, I worked and solved many issues on JIRA which were later merged into the Airavata code on Github.

1. Worked on improving the SciGaP's PGA Laravel Portal which is a PHP Gateway for Airavata.
   JIRA ticket - SciGaP portal's gateway request form needs to be modified
   Pull Request - PGA Enhancements and Bug Fixes, Checking for duplicate gateway request
2. Started work on the Database Versioning to help the evolving Airavata Registry.
   Github Repository - Liquibase_Test
3. Started work on the new Django Group Management portal for Airavata's Sharing Service.
   JIRA ticket - Web-based user interface for Group Management

As I was working from the Science Gateways Research Center at Indiana University Bloomington, I was in constant touch with the Airavata team and took part in meetings and code reviews throughout my summer. I also got the opportunity to attend the Practice and Experience in Advanced Research Computing conference held in New Orleans, LA from July 9-13 where I presented a poster on Database Versioning in Apache Airavata - PEARC17_Poster_DatabaseVersioning.pdf
