20:39.55_Samowether those students have been involved for a while or just contact the FOSS project in case they are interested
20:40.43_Samoor the FOSS projects engage in some kind of active recruitment

21:54.05_Samoit is difficult for us to enroll students first because of the subject
21:54.23_Samosecond, because we are small and not known
21:54.53kblin_Samo: what's your project about?
21:55.03_Samoraytracing
21:55.21kblinwhat language are you guys using?
21:55.28_SamoC++
21:56.15_Samobut in general raytracing ideas aren't that easy to code
21:56.15kblinsounds reasonable enough
21:56.23kblinright
21:56.44Ivanovic_Samo: it is normal that myriads of students pop in once the list of orgs is published
21:56.56_Samothe project is here, www.yafaray.org
21:56.59Ivanovicso make sure to react on the "way to get in contact"
21:57.01kblinit'll certainly limit the number of applications you'll get opposed to if your project was about php webprogramming
21:57.06Ivanovicthat is in general the best thing to do
21:57.28kblin_Samo: oh, I wouldn't call yafaray not known
21:57.39kblinbut yeah, what Ivanovic says
21:58.04kblingoogle will publish a list of projects, that usually gets lots of students to look at your stuff
21:58.15Ivanoviceg for wesnoth the only thing important for us is "is the person a student" and "do we think that the project is okay (doable!!!) as well as interesting (for us!)" combined with a "do we think the student might stay post SoC?"
21:58.40Ivanovicso the student can have been part of the dev team before or not, it does not matter too much
21:58.56Ivanovicthe student *has* to convince us that we want to work with him for the time of SoC and possible longer
21:59.13Ivanovicso we ask to see some code (and prefer patches against our own codebase ^^)
21:59.42_Samokblin, Ivanovic, how do we get in that list of 'projects'
21:59.54Ivanovicas important as the code is communications, so we ask them to be somehow available to talk to them, our main way of communications being irc
21:59.57_Samothat google publishes
22:00.08Ivanovicyou are automatically in the list if you are accepted as project for SoC
22:00.09kblinwell, assuming google does a GSoC 2010, you apply as a mentoring organization
22:00.23thebolthi kblin , Ivanovic
22:00.29Ivanovicand yeah, there are always more orgs applying than being accepted
22:00.30kblinif you're accepted, you're on the list
22:00.33Ivanovichi thebolt
22:00.37kblinhi thebolt
22:01.02_Samokblin, Ivanovic, can we apply without students?
22:01.06kblinyeah
22:01.29_SamoI mean If we have not found any student yet
22:01.30Ivanovic_Samo: first you as project apply basically telling google "yeah, we want to host some student projects and mentor students!"
22:01.32Catfish_Man_Samo: you have things backwards. You get students after applying, not before
22:01.39Ivanovicafterwards the students apply for projects
22:01.44_Samook thanks
22:01.45Catfish_Manthe students apply via google's webapp
22:01.48Ivanovicof course you also post some samples of possible projects
22:01.53Catfish_Manand google tells you how many students you can accept
22:02.01kblinall you need is a project that is open sourced, a bunch of cool project ideas and mentors for said proposed projects
22:02.31_SamoIt's ok that we publish an ideas page before we get in contact with any student?
22:02.40kblinyes
22:02.44Ivanovic_Samo: it is mandatory that you post some possible projects
22:03.07_Samook then we have that part already
22:03.09Ivanovicotherwise the folks at google would have no idea what they would be getting students into when allowing you (as org) to participate
22:03.33kblin_Samo: the GSoC mentoring guide chapter 5 is good reading for that :)
22:03.41Catfish_Man_Samo: in general, students contact you, not vice versa. Although plenty of mentors do hang out on #gsoc "recruiting" ;)
22:04.01_Samothanks kblin
22:04.13Ivanovic_Samo: the list of project ideas we had for last year (keep in mind that there were *by far* better idea lists than ours!): http://wiki.wesnoth.org/SummerOfCodeIdeas#List_of_Ideas_for_the_Project_.28Suggestions_from_the_wesnoth_developers.29
22:04.42Ivanovicif you eg also list stuff like difficulty level and the likes and maybe apply some sophisticated sorting it would probably be even better
22:05.00IvanovicCatfish_Man: there are students in here?
22:05.03Ivanovicshies away
22:05.04Ivanovic;)
22:05.07Catfish_Manheh
22:05.24Landonthinks a suggested patch/bugfix would go over well too
22:05.30kblin_Samo: the trick is that you put enough information to tell people what it's about, but leave enough out so people need to do some research to write their applications
22:05.31_SamoIvanovic, once a mentoring has applied, seems a bit of a short period of time for students to applu
22:05.32Landonif you have any that touch the section of the codebase the project is in
22:05.46Ivanovic_Samo: the time is enough
22:06.02Catfish_Man_Samo: believe me, you don't want more time. Sorting through all the proposals can be quite a bit of work
22:06.02_Samook
22:06.03IvanovicLandon: that is why we ask for code samples
22:06.10Catfish_Manparticularly with the rise in spammy proposals
22:06.26Ivanovicand yeah, many do submit some usefull patches and gain commit access this way
22:06.28LandonIvanovic: I'm thinking more for the students benefit
22:06.35kblinCatfish_Man: dunno, we were over fast, apart from that one python-y proposal
22:06.47Ivanovic(our rule for gaining commit access (at wesnoth) is "two to three non trival patches and you get access")
22:07.05Catfish_Mankblin: I remember some really painful arguments over adium student proposals
22:07.09Ivanovicthis way the person wanting to work on things gets some feedback and is able to somehow sync the style
22:07.17Catfish_Manthe ones where we had 6 good students and 5 slots or whatever
22:07.50Ivanovic_Samo: just have a look at the link i just gave you
22:08.07Ivanovic_Samo: most students also added a page in our wiki with the detailed version of their proposal
22:08.08kblinCatfish_Man: ok, two out of three orgs I mentor need C coders, those are few and far apart
22:08.24Ivanovicas you see, this is a *part* of the proposals we had (okay, basically some 70 to 80%)
22:08.29Catfish_Manlooks at the project he has open for work and feels all job-secure
22:08.34Ivanovicsome of those are *really* a lot to read through and comment on

22:15.27kblinLandon: what's that?
22:15.33theboltkblin: well, i ment those that actually continued in physics ;)
22:15.37Landonkblin: (not that they're unclueless about computers there either... I still have to help them upload files to the website every odd month or so)
22:15.44IvanovicLandon: there are some doing so?
22:15.50_SamoKblin, once we have applied as a mentor organisation, with an ideas page, can later a student propose a different idea? or he has to stick to what we have proposed?
22:16.04Ivanovic_Samo: those ideas are *only* samples
22:16.09kblin_Samo: students can always propose their own ideas
22:16.13Ivanovicof course students can apply with other ideas, too
22:16.18_Samook
22:16.23kblin_Samo: in fact, the ones who do likely are your best picks :)
22:16.31Ivanovicand, if you are accepted as org you are the ones in the end to decide who you want to take
22:16.48_SamoI think I'm understanding now
22:16.53kblinLandon: did I mention I've got a degree in that subject? :)
22:16.55_Samothanks guys

22:17.57kblinok, I better be off to theatre now, talk to you folks later
22:18.06kblin_Samo: my pleasure
22:18.12theboltcya
22:18.27_Samoone last question, how we organise our mentors
22:18.29Ivanovic_Samo: you're welcome
22:18.38Ivanovic_Samo: that is completely up to you!
22:18.46Catfish_Man_Samo: well, hopefully
22:19.03_SamoI mean shall we have one mentor for each idea?
22:19.15Catfish_Manread the guide
22:19.28Ivanovic_Samo: you need the mentors for the students, not the ideas
22:19.29Ivanovic;)
22:19.43_Samook that what I say always to our users
22:19.46_Samo:)
22:19.57Ivanovicand yeah, mentoring can be *a lot* work (or it can be really relaxed)
22:20.03Ivanovicit all depends on the student as well as the "project"
22:20.20Catfish_Manyeah. "Oh hey my student is better at this than me" is a wonderful realization
22:20.34Catfish_Man"yeah kid, go nuts. Check with me before doing anything too dangerous" :)
22:20.40Ivanovica simple project with a brilliant student will probably result in an easy life for the respective mentor
22:20.42_SamoIvanovic, at the end the important thing is to have enough mentors for the 'students' slots assigned by google, isn't it?
22:20.55Ivanovicbut a damn difficult project and a bordercase student can result in lots of headache
22:21.02Ivanovic_Samo: yes
22:21.02_SamoI see
22:21.21Ivanovicin general the most important part is to communicate
22:21.36Ivanovicyes, if the student is too quite the mentor should ask how things are going
22:22.01theboltIvanovic: definitely.. i mentored a student (really good student) a few years back where it took us about 2 months (ie all time from student selection to program start) to learn the maths to undertsand his project ;) but he did great after that
22:22.37Ivanovicthebolt: just what i said, it can be a hell of a job when the project itself is diffcult
22:22.48thebolt(project used a lot of differential and projective geometry in high dimensions ;)
22:23.14theboltIvanovic: yep, just extending what you said to that even a good student can be much work to mentor, if the project is hard
