Google Summer of Code

Abhinav Cilanki

• What did you accomplish this past week?

  • Developed a Kafka consumer that listens to external-events emitted by Fineract, using the ByteBufferConverter for deserialization.

  • Raised a pull request to the message-consumer repository to extend its functionality with Kafka support (alongside the existing JMS profile).

  • Modified Fineract to emit an external event whenever a document is uploaded, using a newly defined DocumentCreatedBusinessEvent. (still debugging)

• What will you do this upcoming week?

  • Debug the document upload event emission flow in Fineract to ensure the external-event is serialized and published correctly.

  • Set up the initial scaffolding for the loan risk assessment engine and push it as the first commit to a new repository.

  • Explore the existing credit bureau integration in Fineract and replicate a similar non-blocking API call structure using Spring WebFlux in our project.

• What obstacles are impeding your progress?

  • Faced difficulty understanding how Liquibase manages DB schema changes on application startup. Although I added the change to the dbchangelog, Liquibase didn’t apply it. As a temporary workaround, I manually applied the required change using an SQL script.

• Would you like help from some mentor for this task? 

  • I’m confident I’ll be able to resolve the Liquibase issue with some more investigation.

  • However, I would appreciate help in creating a new repository under the mifos organisation where I can push the scaffolding and set up a GitHub Actions pipeline for CI/CD.

Aru Sharma

• What did you accomplish this past week?
  I was primarily working on scoping out the project based the meeting with the mentors yesterday. Apart from that I was working on data extraction from Github repositories under Mifos Project.

• What will you do this upcoming week?
  I will add more data scraping scripts from other sources like Jira Tickets, main website and youtube videos where Mifos related projects were discussed.

• What obstacles are impeding your progress?
  No obstacles

• Would you like help from some mentor for this task? 
  Will probably draft the final scope under supervision of the mentors.

Devarsh Shah

• What did you accomplish this past week?

  • Last week, I was working on achieving two to three things.

  • First, I had to make JFrog cache the image, which solves issue GAZ-32.

  • Second, update the mifos-tools repository with the updated code, where we have the Python script that updates the repository’s .circleci/config.yml based on its sourceCompatibility version in the build.gradle file.

  • Third, get access to CircleCI and JFrog to practice.

• What will you do this upcoming week?

  • I have achieved the first task. In the upcoming week, I will focus on the chained tasks related to the first task.

  • i.e., first, learn how to implement the task — how to make JFrog cache the image from the Docker Hub registry.

  • Secondly, we will implement the script in the mifos-gazelle repository so that it uses Docker images from the JFrog Artifactory instead of fetching them from Docker Hub, to bypass the rate-limiting issue.What obstacles are impeding your progress?

• What obstacles are impeding your progress?

  • Yes. I did not have a clear concept of JFrog — what OSS, Pro, and JCR versions are. So, I struggled to decide which version to use.

  • I was also confused about how to implement the version — either by downloading the .tar.xz file or using the Docker image.

  • But finally, using the Docker image releases-docker.jfrog.io/jfrog/artifactory-jcr:7.111.9 worked for me, and I am able to create a Docker repository here.

• Would you like help from some mentor for this task? 

  • Yes. I am constantly in conversation with Tom if I feel stuck — including silly questions — and I am trying to be as productive as I can.

Gopi Kishan

• What did you accomplish this past week?

  • Upgraded the Angular version from 16 to 17.

• What will you do this upcoming week?

  • I have my university exams from June 9 to June 14. Meanwhile, I’m waiting for mentor feedback on the Angular 18 upgrade.
    Based on the feedback, I plan to make any required changes and merge Angular 18 into the dev branch.
