01:02.10foocrafthey all
01:02.24foocraftwhen will GSoC '11 be announced? :p
01:03.32kstarApril, possibly.
01:03.43ojwbI'd imagine before that...
01:04.13foocrafthmm that's pretty close to the summer
01:04.25ojwbusually feb or march in recent years i think
01:04.34foocraftyeah now that sounds like a good timing
01:04.52ojwbfoocraft:  but you can get a head start now
01:05.00foocraftcuz if someone got a summer job and still doesn't know whether or not he's GSoC'ing, then that might lower his chances of GSoC'ing :p
01:05.24foocraftojwb, I'm trying to break the AutoQA stratosphere and hopefully write some more tests for them
01:05.43foocraftalso for GNU/Hurd I want to write tests for the things they've been constantly debugging
01:05.47ojwbhttp://www.google-melange.com./document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/timeline
01:05.52ojwbso feb 8th this year
01:05.53foocraft(to provide some sanity :p)
01:06.20foocraftthe awesome part about testing is that it feels like a certain class that I loved in school
01:06.50foocraftbasically we had hugeass labs, but every lab was provided with a very good tester that *will* guide you to where you're screwing up
01:07.37ojwbwould suggest starting to get involved now - then if you apply to those orgs they'll have a reasonable idea what you are capable of
01:08.16foocraft^5s ojwb
01:08.36Dark_ShikariI am basically guaranteed to approve anyone who has done significant prior work for a SOC project (as long as everything else in their plan is sound).
01:08.42Dark_Shikarii.e. I would prioritize them over anyone else.
01:08.49Dark_ShikariI suspect this is true of most projects.
01:15.00foocraftwhat's your project, Dark_Shikari?
01:22.10ojwbfoocraft: i think he's with x264 - it's something video related anyway
01:23.57theboltffmpeg would be the project i think
01:24.31Dark_Shikarix264 and ffmpeg
01:24.50Dark_ShikariI manage GCI/GSOC for x264

09:50.54*** join/#gsoc skelet_ (~skelet@109.96.26.95)
10:02.21theboltyes, i know.. (skype is our main communiation-form in our company ;)
10:05.20kaiso, I decided it was my fault for relying on a closed-source, only free-as-in-beer service for critical project communication
10:05.56thebolt:)
10:06.00kaibut before I go and configure a voip server, I thought I'd check if our IT dept has done something useful for once
10:06.12theboltwe do have a private SIP service (with dial-in numbers in sweden & US) for meetings though
10:06.25theboltbut its hard to see if someone is online there.. or just leave a short chat-message ;)
10:06.59kaithe samba team uses mumble for this, I've still got the server from our tests lying around somewhere on my machine
10:07.51theboltwell, my co-workers use skype & skype-in/out etc for other purposes.. also all of us use it from cell-phones as wella s from computers
10:07.55theboltand in that sense it works well
10:08.03theboltmost of the time
10:09.59kainods
10:10.17kaitheir network seems to be recovering as well
10:11.29ojwbnews.bbc described skype as "The company which prides itself on providing relatively reliable service"
10:11.48ojwbwhich i felt was more an insult than a compliment
10:14.22thebolthehe
10:15.53kaihehe
10:17.17ojwbi avoid skype myself, though it's hard to fully defend from a free software point of view since I mostly use the phone system instead and that doesn't come with source code...
10:18.26theboltusing traditional phone system for long meetings between sweden and east asia is a bit too expensive for our taste :P
10:20.02theboltotoh, for those we do use open source stuff (an freeswitch based SIP-server)
10:20.10ojwbcosts me less to phone my parents in the UK than when I lived 50 miles away from them
10:20.14ojwb(from NZ)
10:20.43theboltbut we're not open source/free software zealots.. we use it where it is convenient and best choice :)
10:21.56kaias I said, we've used mumble successfully in the samba team, even in larger meetings.. not sure how the bandwidth usage compares to skype
10:22.19ojwbprobably very favourably if skype turns you into a supernode
10:22.58kaiojwb: hehe, I usually just turn on skype if I have an appointment for a call
10:23.31kaiI think they do at least run some "how long is that node usually up" logic before they make a node a supernode
10:23.54kaiheck, NETBIOS does that for master browsers, and NETBIOS is a pretty brain-dead protocol :
10:23.58kai:)
10:24.00ojwband even if not, minimising the time you're on for reduces the exposure
10:24.18kaitrue
10:26.11thebolti have it running 24/7.. (or well, as much as my computer is on)
10:26.32theboltgiven the way we use it, anything else would make it useless :P
10:42.39kaiahrg, who comes up with a CLI like that?
10:42.59kaisometimes I hate academic software development...
10:44.43kaiah, and I broke the website
10:44.46kaicrap
10:45.02kaithis is going to be a long day

21:37.08jrabbitdberkholz: well its more like all there is is C# stuff and things for people who speak languages of less than 200 speakers :P
