00:01.30 | SRabbelier | z4chh: hehe, I don't think it'll be dirt easy, but doable, yes |

00:01.43 | z4chh | it didn't turn out right :( |
00:01.51 | z4chh | it didn't word wrap!!!!!!! |

00:02.20 | SRabbelier | z4chh: pwnd? :P |
00:02.37 | Raim | hm, there is just no word wrap applied if you say that is preformatted :) |
00:02.42 | z4chh | i think ill it again..encase the non-word wrapped stuff in <p></p> ...that might do it |

02:56.44 | ACSpike[Home] | how sad, I believe my coadmin made a mistake on the app and submitted his own id as the organizations link id (they appear to be the same) |
02:57.05 | ojwb | yeah, a lot of people did |
02:57.09 | ojwb | it doesn't really matter |
02:57.20 | ojwb | the most annoying thing is that the app list is sorted by it |
02:57.33 | ojwb | but it's just an identifying token really |
02:57.54 | ACSpike[Home] | yes, I would say it _does_ matter _because_ the app list is sorted by it |

03:01.07 | ojwb | I suspect most will either know inkscape already and find your website, or just look through the categorised lists by language and area in delicious |
03:02.11 | ojwb | ACSpike[Home]: you could ask on #melange if it can be changed (or if they're fixing the sort order) |
03:02.17 | ACSpike[Home] | I suspect so |
03:02.33 | ACSpike[Home] | I'll check out #melange tomorrow |

06:50.02 | ojwb | monu: have you read the faq yet? |
06:50.12 | monu | i am reading |
06:50.33 | ojwb | also, the advice for students is very good: |
06:50.36 | ojwb | !advice |
06:50.36 | socinfo | "advice" is http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/AdviceforStudents for students, http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/AdviceforMentors for mentors |
06:51.00 | philip_ | how does gsoc get the word out, to find students? |
06:51.26 | scorche | many ways.. |
06:52.10 | ojwb | many of the orgs taking part do a fair bit of advocacy |
06:52.23 | ojwb | and google too of course |
06:52.48 | Upthorn | I personally found out about the program just because newt here mentioned it in passing on #ocremix a couple weeks back. |
06:53.11 | Upthorn | well actually I'd heard about it before, but had been under the impression that it was a one-time thing that I totally missed out on |
06:53.45 | newt|breaktime | gsoc gets the word out by being generally awesome |
06:53.57 | newt|breaktime | so much so that people who know about it never shut up about it <_< |

10:39.11 | VarmVaffel | hm aight |
10:39.14 | VarmVaffel | and that was about 1k? |

10:41.01 | ojwb | i'm not sure if there will be more applications this year than last |

10:45.24 | amarillion | I don't think so, we're getting applications from all over the world |
10:45.26 | ojwb | there's a lot of poor applications, so if you write a good one, you've a pretty good chance of getting accepted |

10:45.40 | amarillion | I think it varies a lot from school to school and university to university |

10:47.08 | ojwb | that shows the top countries last time |
10:47.33 | VarmVaffel | huh a lot from India |
10:47.45 | spectei | VarmVaffel, you're not interested in NLP by any chance ? |

10:48.27 | VarmVaffel | hm |
10:48.35 | ojwb | it seems to be more than the average annual wage in China! |
10:48.36 | GnuBoi | are there many from india |
10:48.45 | VarmVaffel | you mean like speach synthesis or the other way around? |
10:48.59 | VarmVaffel | heh I bel ojwb :P |
10:49.00 | spectei | VarmVaffel, i mean any kind of computational processing of human language |
10:49.22 | amarillion | VarmVaffel, we already have applications from USA, Sri Lanka, China and France |
10:49.27 | VarmVaffel | I haven't worked much with it, but I could maybe read some more about it |
10:49.53 | spectei | one of our applications has been for MT between nynorsk and bokmål |
10:49.55 | VarmVaffel | yeah I can see the top countries from the link that ojwb provided |
10:50.10 | VarmVaffel | but right, you mean this year too |
10:50.17 | VarmVaffel | oh |
10:50.20 | VarmVaffel | hm |
10:50.33 | ojwb | finds the varying proportions interesting |
10:50.36 | VarmVaffel | well I know one app that translates between Bokmål and Nynorsk already, is that open source? |
10:50.42 | amarillion | Hmm I wonder what that graph would look like relative to population size? India has 3 times the population of USA so you would expect an even bigger share |
10:50.43 | VarmVaffel | or what's the project site? |
10:51.15 | spectei | VarmVaffel, no |
10:51.17 | spectei | VarmVaffel, that is nyno |
10:51.20 | spectei | VarmVaffel, it is not open-source |
10:51.28 | VarmVaffel | yeah that's what I thought |
10:51.33 | spectei | VarmVaffel, do you write nn or nb ? |
10:51.34 | VarmVaffel | I was thinking about * |
10:51.35 | spectei | nb i suppose |
10:51.37 | VarmVaffel | bm |
10:51.40 | spectei | aye |
10:52.12 | ojwb | it's not too surprising that USA and UK application are more likely than average to be accepted, since being a native English speaker is going to help |
10:52.20 | amarillion | But the large share of Sri Lanka students is interesting |
10:52.26 | ojwb | and Canada too, though that seems less marked |
10:52.27 | spectei | also knowing the "norms" of participating in open-source ojwb |
10:52.35 | spectei | ojwb, and of application |
10:52.36 | ojwb | but that doesn't explain germany |

10:52.59 | spectei | well, maybe it helps, but not that much |
10:53.17 | amarillion | Most german students speak excellent english. Certainly it's much easier for germans to learn english than it is for chinese |

11:06.17 | GnuBoi | i mean which organization |
11:06.34 | spectei | <VarmVaffel> well, my personal opinion is not to support nynorsk, but if you're into some open-source projects for it I'm allways for it |
11:06.35 | spectei | why is that ? |
11:06.46 | VarmVaffel | well it's so uneccesary |
11:06.55 | spectei | why? |
11:06.58 | VarmVaffel | a country should have one written language |

11:07.18 | spectei | VarmVaffel, how about wales ? |
11:07.21 | spectei | or ireland |
11:07.33 | VarmVaffel | and besides, nynorsk is just barely diferent from bokmål, which is why it's just a pain in the ass to learn it and get graded it with like 1/3 of the norwegian grade |
11:07.47 | VarmVaffel | and I _never_ use it |
11:07.48 | spectei | VarmVaffel, depends on how you write it |
11:07.48 | VarmVaffel | never |
11:07.50 | spectei | i suppose |
11:07.52 | ojwb | GnuBoi: swig |
11:08.02 | GnuBoi | OK |
11:08.02 | spectei | you can write it more different, or more similar |
11:08.10 | spectei | VarmVaffel, bokmål is just _barely_ different from danish :P |
11:08.18 | VarmVaffel | yeah that is true :P |
11:08.21 | VarmVaffel | heh |

11:08.59 | spectei | aye |
11:09.06 | VarmVaffel | but still, I'm not for it, I guess cos I'm used to bokmål |
11:09.07 | spectei | like all written languages are "invented" |
11:09.14 | spectei | english was "invented" |
11:09.17 | VarmVaffel | heheh yeah :P |
11:09.23 | spectei | people forget that |
11:09.26 | VarmVaffel | I was wondering on how to express that, but you get my view :P |
11:09.27 | spectei | have short memories |
11:09.58 | spectei | "the nynorsk standard was developed to bring the written language of the country closer to how the people spoke" |
11:10.02 | spectei | something like that maybe? :P |

14:20.34 | rkirti | smtms, as I know it, it is about specifying what packages are needed to 1. build the given package on the host and 2. to run it on the target |

14:26.00 | p_l|backup | rkirti: depends on the actual application... |
14:26.42 | p_l|backup | usually unless you change OS, the requirements are the same, and even among different OSes many of them will be similar |

14:49.18 | summatusmentis | that said, you could ask the students to allow their papers to be read by the community |
14:49.22 | thomastc | straszheim: unfinished proposals are often put on the wiki of the corresponding project |
14:49.50 | summatusmentis | I posted a link to my current proposal in the channel of my org to allow for more feedback |

14:52.27 | straszheim | that's kind of a PITA. So in order to have open discussion on how to refactor several finished proposals that overlap, everybody involve needs to be a mentor, or the finished proposals need to be copied out to a wiki somewhere. |

16:56.07 | z4chh | i was just wondering, that is something for as student to consider...there is inherently a lower probability of getting a proposal accepted as the number of proposals a mentoring org has increases...so it would be wise to submit to other orgs in the case of large amounts of proposals |
16:56.21 | homunq | sugarlabs requires all proposals be posted openly on the wiki, though allowing censoring personal details |
16:56.41 | homunq | so I certainly hope that making number of applications public knowledge is OK. |

17:00.10 | homunq | in fact, if you egotistically think your proposal should justly be accepted, it is in your rational interest to encourage more applications to your org. This would decrease the chance that you'd get rejected because the applications to your org are all above average, just by chance. |

18:31.46 | dberkholz | hmm, are other folks getting many proposals? |
18:32.09 | dberkholz | xorg and gentoo are both unusually low |
18:32.13 | BCarlyon|Server | I just dropped my initial proposal on my projects wiki, like another student has, need to flesh it out a lot |
18:32.18 | ArthurLiu | dberkholz: no (debian project) |
18:32.34 | BCarlyon|Server | you do know students like to leave it to the last minute :-) |
18:32.36 | ArthurLiu | I suppose it's the financial crisis or something |
18:32.41 | BCarlyon|Server | I applied in the extension period last year. |
18:32.58 | BCarlyon|Server | I nearly missed the deadline, I was a later starter to GSoC. |

18:33.49 | Chainsaw | Who knows. |
18:34.42 | homunq | Quiet here too, though it's our first year; but sugarlabs has fewer now than OLPC had last year. I thought it was just specific factors about our vs OLPC's mindshare. |
18:35.05 | ahuillet | dberkholz : unusually low by how much? |
18:35.10 | psofa | dberkholz, tbh i didnt see any good idea for gentoo even though im a gentoo user |
18:35.17 | dberkholz | ahuillet: like 10% of our last year's final total |
18:35.22 | dberkholz | for both orgs |
18:35.27 | borja | We (Globus) haven't even received any applications yet |
18:35.29 | ArthurLiu | we did make efforts to step up the promotion at Debian, twitter, identi.ca, posters at universities in multiple languages, a better wiki page, more admins on IRC.. |
18:35.30 | ahuillet | did X even get 10 applications ? :) |
18:35.33 | borja | Although we've had several students express interest |
18:35.47 | BCarlyon|Server | Hmm I've not checked planet soc yet this year |

18:36.17 | dberkholz | the top-rated idea last year was not on the ideas page |
18:36.18 | BCarlyon|Server | Twitter ftw |
18:36.18 | Chainsaw | Let me check where we are actually. I remember 1 application that will need a *lot* of work if it is to be considered. |
18:36.21 | homunq | is a twitterh8r and an old fogey, sorry. |

18:38.36 | Chainsaw | ArthurLiu: I'm on the East Coast Main Line, travelling between Peterborough & London :) |
18:38.40 | dberkholz | it could partially be the couple of requirements gentoo added, too. i know other orgs have said their garbage-app count dropped quite a bit when they did this |
18:39.02 | Chainsaw | dberkholz: We've been explicit about requiring a code challenge, yes. |
18:39.23 | BCarlyon|Server | borja, ty |
18:40.07 | ahuillet | Chainsaw : I don't know about others, but the code challenge thing *might* not only be killing garbage-apps |

22:20.13 | hub | hypa7ia: and I have a valid point |
22:20.19 | hypa7ia | hub: when people complain, i offer constructive suggestions |
22:20.25 | dhoclone_plan9 | We only had like 5 or 6 spam in 2007 |

22:21.07 | kblin | 21 or so |

22:23.53 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: please be more specific |
22:24.23 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: I've heard from many other mentors that the app is actually better than the last one, so if you have a suggestion on what to do to improve it, please let us know |
22:24.31 | bitsweat | actions you'd like to take aren't coupled with the subject of the action |
22:24.38 | bitsweat | such as becoming a mentor for an organization |
22:24.44 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: please be more concrete? |

22:25.06 | bitsweat | the organizations are sorted by "link id" as well |
22:25.09 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: I don't quite follow, how _should_ it be? |
22:25.15 | bitsweat | go to organization, apply to mentor |
22:25.19 | bitsweat | apply to be a student |
22:25.35 | bitsweat | see updates/changes to the org, it's app, and outstanding proposals |
22:25.46 | bitsweat | it's very hard to track what's happening in the app |
22:25.54 | bitsweat | there's no activity feed to follow |
22:26.03 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: there is actually |
22:26.05 | bitsweat | so every mentor accepts a large burden of clicking around to keep up to date |
22:26.07 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: there's the notification system |
22:26.14 | Erant | bitsweat: Can you add an issue to the tracker about this? |

22:26.38 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: there's like, these buttons... |
22:26.39 | bitsweat | you cannot, only reviews |
22:26.49 | dhoclone_plan9 | doesn't see why that's terribly useful |
22:26.52 | bitsweat | SRabbelier: being condescending does neither of us a favor |
22:26.55 | dhoclone_plan9 | Just keep a page open and hit refresh |
22:26.58 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: well yes, you do not want a notification every time a student hits 'save' |
22:27.13 | bitsweat | I do, in fact, want a notification when a student updates their proposals based on feedback |
22:27.26 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: they should post a comment that they did |
22:27.33 | dhoclone_plan9 | Hm, I was wrong. We have 5 |
22:28.16 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: also, there's a "last modified on" property to each application that's shown in the list view |
22:28.45 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: but, I do see yoru point |
22:29.03 | dhoclone_plan9 | I dunno. |
22:29.11 | dhoclone_plan9 | I think that's a little bit enabling of mentors to be lazy. |
22:29.15 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: you could file a http://tinyurl.com/new-issue about wanting to receive a notification each time the proposal is edited |
22:29.17 | dhoclone_plan9 | In 2007, I was a huge flake as a mentor. |
22:29.28 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: (through a similar subscription feature we already have) |
22:29.39 | bitsweat | our mentors are busy people, I'd like to make this a smooth, enjoyable experience for them |
22:29.47 | dhoclone_plan9 | shrugs |
22:29.47 | bitsweat | the app should make everyone involved feel kick ass |
22:29.49 | dhoclone_plan9 | I see your point. |
22:29.51 | bitsweat | not like they're wasting time clicking |
22:30.02 | bitsweat | SRabbelier: I'm working on some tickets :) |

22:30.25 | dhoclone_plan9 | Like applications. |
22:30.27 | bitsweat | we're doing most communication outside of the app for this reason |
22:30.40 | dhoclone_plan9 | bitsweat: Yeah, I've been doing a lot of mailing list / IRC discussions. |
22:30.54 | kblin | how's that different than previous years? |
22:31.12 | bitsweat | very strange to hear pushback on this, here, to be honest |
22:31.14 | dhoclone_plan9 | I wasn't very active at all in 2007. |
22:31.18 | bitsweat | who cares how it's different from previous years?? |
22:31.21 | bitsweat | it should be GREAT |
22:31.40 | bitsweat | not good enough, not not-worse-than-2008 |
22:31.45 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: yeah, cos obviously we've been getting a lot of help from the community in developing this ;) |
22:31.49 | dhoclone_plan9 | Either way, it's pretty hard to recruit students this year. |
22:31.55 | kblin | bitsweat: that's bullshit |
22:32.08 | kblin | bitsweat: it's amazing it's working |
22:32.10 | bitsweat | kblin: that's helpful |
22:32.24 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: since, you know, all you mentors have been helping out, writing patches and stuff |
22:32.30 | dhoclone_plan9 | Which is a much bigger problem than getting emails to tell me to refresh. |
22:32.31 | kblin | bitsweat: look, if you don't like it, fix it |
22:32.31 | bitsweat | SRabbelier: was this developed as part of gsoc? |
22:32.33 | SRabbelier | </sarcasm> |
22:32.39 | bitsweat | kblin: what do you think I'm doing? |
22:32.45 | bitsweat | I just started using this app a week ago |
22:32.45 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: no, this was developed 100% in the free time of the developers |
22:32.46 | dhoclone_plan9 | SRabbelier: I would be writing patches if I had problems with it :) |
22:32.46 | bitsweat | and here I am |
22:32.54 | SRabbelier | dhoclone_plan9: thanks :) |
22:33.01 | hub | bitsweat: that why I got suggested to submit patches to a software I have no clue about |
22:33.07 | dhoclone_plan9 | And I may actually do that |
22:33.27 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: I understand that you don't have time to help us out |
22:33.30 | Erant | SRabbelier: I'd submit patches. But I'm too lazy. ;) |
22:33.32 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: and I understand that most don't |
22:33.34 | dhoclone_plan9 | SRabbelier: One of the things that I think is counterintuitive is this (and this is sort of a question, since I think that's always been the intended behavior) |
22:33.45 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: but please, return the favor, and understand that we don't have unlimited resources either |
22:34.05 | dhoclone_plan9 | SRabbelier: But I leave private feedback with a score of 1. Then I leave private feedback with a score of 2, and the score is bumped to a total of 3, when I meant to have it be 2 total. |
22:34.11 | bitsweat | SRabbelier: I'm not cramming anything down anyone's throat here |
22:34.21 | bitsweat | the response to my observations so far has been 1 step down from STFU |
22:34.22 | dhoclone_plan9 | It's not terribly intuitive for me to bump it up by ``Good'' every time :) |
22:34.42 | dhoclone_plan9 | bitsweat: That's not true. I've merely said that I disagree, I think you're just taking it way too personally. |
22:34.46 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: my apologies for that |
22:35.03 | bitsweat | dhoclone_plan9: IRC may misconstrue that, nothing personal |
22:35.07 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: I didn't mean to come across that way, but... well... let's say |
22:35.15 | bitsweat | I'm *very* accustomed to "just send patches" and the open source process :) |

22:57.54 | SRabbelier | dhoclone_plan9: right, especially with -1 saying "Not so good" etc. |
22:57.57 | dhoclone_plan9 | Right |
22:58.02 | dhoclone_plan9 | The context is what does it |
22:58.08 | SRabbelier | dhoclone_plan9: yup, I agree |
22:58.13 | SRabbelier | kblin: what range would be better for you? |
22:58.15 | dhoclone_plan9 | In my eyes, the issue could be fixed by changing the context |
22:58.28 | dhoclone_plan9 | (which I also mentioned in the ticket) |
22:58.33 | kblin | SRabbelier: dunno, but that depends on the number of students/slots |
22:58.42 | SRabbelier | kblin: we were going to have it be dynamic |
22:58.52 | bitsweat | looks like the csv export for mentors went away |
22:58.53 | SRabbelier | kblin: but due to lack of time it's been changed to the current approach |
22:58.54 | bitsweat | privacy concern? |
22:58.58 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: yeah :( |
22:59.02 | bitsweat | now I can't get everyone's email though |
22:59.12 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: that was kindof a thinko in adding it |
22:59.25 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: we know it's needed, and adding it back is a priority |
22:59.36 | bitsweat | it's ok I already memorized their t-shirt sizes ;) ;) |
22:59.39 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: but both Lennie and myself are in our examn period, so we don't have tiem for much else but fixing bugs |
22:59.40 | dhoclone_plan9 | I'm off to dinner! |
22:59.47 | dhoclone_plan9 | fijne avond nog :) |
23:00.03 | SRabbelier | dhoclone_plan9: you too :) |
23:00.20 | kblin | bitsweat: what I'm doing is that I invite people only if they email me with their contact details |
23:00.26 | ojwb | last year I found that some mentors would rank all the projects, some just the ones in areas they knew |
23:00.32 | ojwb | or the ones they'd be willing to mentor |
23:00.32 | *** join/#gsoc david_ (n=david@78-21-198-2.access.telenet.be) |
23:00.40 | ojwb | which makes the scores a bit unbalanced |
23:00.52 | bitsweat | kblin: yeah I could probably dig up their emails |
23:01.21 | bitsweat | ojwb: we haven't decided what to do about that |
23:01.23 | kblin | ojwb: we just had an irc meeting where we decided on the final order of our list and I then fiddled the scores to match |
23:01.27 | ojwb | but the good ones ended up high and the bad ones low so it worked well enough to clarify our thoughts |
23:01.53 | bitsweat | adding rather than averaging the scores means they aren't actually comparable |
23:01.55 | SRabbelier | ojwb: we'll be gathering feedback on the ranking process for sure, and improve it for next year :) |
23:01.55 | ojwb | yeah, you can pretty much read down the order and say "no, that deserves to be a bit higher" |
23:01.59 | bitsweat | and the rankings make no sense as a result |
23:02.10 | ojwb | imagines that it's worse for large orgs |
23:02.18 | kblin | nods |
23:02.20 | bitsweat | in the end, we're deciding rank by fiat more than by vote |

23:03.30 | SRabbelier | bitsweat: aaah, you say we should average the ranks rather than aggregate them? |
23:03.41 | kblin | SRabbelier: that does make sense |
23:03.48 | SRabbelier | kblin: it does |
23:05.08 | bitsweat | yes, but average per mentor rather than per review |

23:22.16 | SRabbelier | orudge: perhaps it doesn't pay enough? |

23:22.28 | orudge | hmm, perhaps |
23:22.41 | orudge | although if the alternative is nothing at all, then I'd say $4500 is pretty generous! |

23:26.15 | Erant | Mjeh |
23:26.37 | ojwb | not sure if they might scrape a few extra together or not - it seemed they created a few extra last year |
23:26.45 | ArthurLiu | ojwb, I don't believe the news went really far on the students side, it was mostly the orgs talking about these numbers |
23:26.46 | ojwb | but perhaps they were all coming from other orgs |
23:27.22 | ojwb | ArthurLiu: ok - i don't really see the student's view of stuff... |
23:27.35 | ArthurLiu | if all orgs were of equal size, with our 6 applications, we're doing 3% better than average |
