05:49.57 | anu_ | i mean i do have an idea |

05:53.46 | anu_ | tell me, u know na i got an idea related to the plugin thing |
05:54.14 | akashm1990 | yes, but if you are talking about the subtitle thing, its already in VLC AFAIK |

05:55.02 | anu_ | anyway, tell me is it possible to do a project in GSoC on an idividual basis? |
05:55.10 | anu_ | *individual |
05:55.17 | akashm1990 | as in, without a mentoring organisation? |
05:55.25 | atagar | anu_: You need to apply to a mentoring organization. |
05:55.40 | anu_ | akashm: yeah |
05:55.43 | akashm1990 | then, no you cant. You need a mentoring org |
05:55.53 | anu_ | hmmm.... |
05:56.02 | akashm1990 | there is an exception, but it doesnt really apply here |
05:56.03 | anu_ | big problem.. |
05:56.13 | scorche | anu_: the Google OSPO provides this, however you need to provide your own mentor and it has to be *really* good ;) |
05:56.17 | anu_ | what exception? |
05:56.25 | akashm1990 | what sorche said |
05:56.48 | anu_ | scorche : what is OSPO? |
05:56.56 | akashm1990 | but it needs to be academic/research oriented |

06:10.41 | NayanShah | zamN, yes |
06:11.29 | zamN | Also it seems like being someone who knows primarily Java I'm SOL when it comes to projects |
06:11.33 | NayanShah | depends on the size of project. |
06:11.55 | zamN | i havent found any java projects yet :p |
06:12.19 | NayanShah | usually many people apply for a project. and the required number are selected by the orgs |
06:12.30 | zamN | ah, ok |
06:12.38 | NayanShah | there are quite a few in java also |
06:13.02 | zamN | i'll check tomorrow again |
06:13.07 | NayanShah | searched using the tag java ? |
06:13.10 | zamN | yes |
06:13.15 | zamN | i get javascript |
06:13.36 | zamN | i havent searched since yesterday though so i'll check again tomorrow |
06:13.37 | ojwb | zamN: projects are individual |
06:13.43 | ojwb | (as the faq clearly says) |
06:13.58 | zamN | was asking a question based off of what someone said in here |
06:14.06 | zamN | sorry almighty |
06:14.51 | akashm1990 | !numapps |
06:14.52 | socinfo | akashm1990: "numapps" is 417 mentoring orgs applied and 175 were accepted this year. In 2010, 367 mentoring orgs applied and 151 were accepted; 5539 proposals were submitted by 3464 students, and 1026 were accepted |
06:15.08 | ojwb | there are some java projects |
06:15.32 | ojwb | but proportionally it seems more students know java and more projects want other languages |
06:15.43 | ojwb | unis seem to teach java pretty commonly these days |
06:15.47 | zamN | because thats what students are taught in college :p |
06:15.53 | ojwb | sadly |
06:15.54 | zamN | ^^ |
06:16.03 | zamN | going to learn C this summer if I dont get in GSoC |
06:16.50 | ojwb | I know we (xapian) have one java-related project idea |
06:17.00 | ojwb | I'd imagine apache have quite a few |

17:24.34 | MarcosNobrega | ok, so, each idean just accepts one student |
17:24.38 | |Kev| | No. |
17:24.40 | gevaerts | You *can* have multiple students working on the same (or a similar) idea, in some sort of competition. I wouldn't recommend that though |
17:25.05 | dhaun | has any org ever done that? |
17:25.19 | gevaerts | Basically you can *not* do something where one student depends on another student |
17:25.33 | MarcosNobrega | hum, ok, |
17:26.10 | gevaerts | The problem is that students can (and have done so in the past) diseappear without warning and without trace |
17:26.22 | |Kev| | Or just underperform |
17:26.25 | gevaerts | If another student fails because of that, you have a serious problem |
17:27.16 | MarcosNobrega | hum, it make sense |
17:27.41 | MarcosNobrega | it's my first time in gsoc |
17:27.47 | |Kev| | You *can* get around this, depending on the project, with enough forethought. |
17:28.30 | gevaerts | Most things in gsoc make sense once you figure out the rasoning behind them :) |
17:28.37 | |Kev| | E.g. if you had a project with 3 must-have stages, and a few optional stages, you could ask student one to do phases 1 2 3 4 5, and student two to do phases 2 3 1 6 7. |
17:29.01 | |Kev| | If either one or two drops out or underperforms, the other one is still able to do the 123 must-have stages. |
17:29.03 | dhaun | guys, I don't think MarcosNobrega had something like that in mind when he asked ... |
17:29.27 | |Kev| | If both students perform, they'll be able to get onto the optional bits. |

17:55.15 | dukeleto | |Kev|: howdy |
17:55.18 | |Kev| | ann0nn: There's no 'priority' field, but typically if you're accepted into multiple projects, the orgs will ask which you prefer. |
17:55.34 | gevaerts | You can of course add your priority to the text |
17:55.36 | faif | is it necessary to be a student for applying? what about being a recent graduate? |
17:55.37 | |Kev| | dukeleto: Sorry, I meant to say hi to darkjames and autocomplete failed me. But hi too :) |
17:55.38 | ann0nn | what if they are from diferent orgs ? |
17:55.59 | gevaerts | ann0nn: in that case they will probably ask you in case of conflict |
17:56.00 | |Kev| | ann0nn: Typically they'll ask which you'd rather do. Not always, but typically. |
17:56.10 | ann0nn | ok, thanks |
17:56.19 | |Kev| | Assuming you've not applied to any projects you don't want to do, it's almost certain to work out alright. |
17:57.10 | gevaerts | faif: from the FAQ, "As long as you are accepted into or enrolled in a college or university program as of April 25, 2011, you are eligible to participate in the program" |
17:57.25 | sheen_drifter | while selecting to apply, do I need to concider my past project experiences regarding platform or language |
17:57.29 | faif | I see, thanks |
17:57.43 | |Kev| | sheen_drifter: You need to not apply for a project you're not capable of completing. |
17:57.59 | gevaerts | suspects that 'bcb[^+#]' is the correct way to indentify organisations using c |
17:58.01 | |Kev| | I would not recommend a project in a language you've never touched before, although it's possible. |
17:58.32 | |Kev| | But e.g. the project using Git for version control and you've never used it before isn't a problem. |

20:26.20 | Talad | I've been contacted by some student who is asking if those 40 hours / week are really required |
20:26.25 | Talad | he can commit 20 hours / week |
20:26.42 | Talad | what's the standard way to handle such a situation? |
20:26.54 | |Kev| | "Sorry, GSoC requires the dedication of a full-time job. |
20:26.55 | |Kev| | " |
20:27.05 | gevaerts | Talad: did he give a reason? |
20:27.11 | |Kev| | If it's because they've got another job, it's just tough. |
20:27.27 | |Kev| | If it conflicts with exams, or something, or they have some reasonable-sounding excuse, you could try to work something out. |
20:27.35 | |Kev| | Like they'd start coding earlier to make up or something. |
20:27.41 | summatusmentis | it's sorta dependent on whether your org thinks the project they want to work on can be done in 20hr/week |
20:27.48 | Talad | reason was: "half of the working time is in the middle of my term" |
20:27.56 | |Kev| | summatusmentis: If the org thinks that, they should have set a harder project, IMO. |
20:28.00 | cronco | the same applies for me |
20:28.10 | cronco | I've got school until mid-late june |
20:28.11 | gevaerts | In my opinion if that reason is "I have another job", it's clearly no. If it's "I live in Brazil/Australia/other southen hemisphere place where he doesn't have much holidays in the period", try to help |
20:28.29 | alinrus | cronco: july :) |
20:28.34 | |Kev| | Talad: Right, if it's clashing with exams, I'd suggest they start earlier, and intend to go into overdrive once the exams are over (usually halfway through) |
20:28.45 | cronco | alinrus: july, right |
20:28.55 | summatusmentis | |Kev|: that's probably true, ultimately it's up to the org whether or not that's ok though |
20:29.00 | Talad | |Kev|: ok, makes sense. But I guess this will rank him lower on the selection |
20:29.01 | gevaerts | I'd suggest *never* to reject someone due to school clashes |
20:29.08 | |Kev| | Talad: That is up to you. |
20:29.44 | |Kev| | Talad: If your aim is to get a long-term contributor (And that's very often the main org aim), it makes no difference. |
20:30.01 | Talad | well, I also want to honor the google program |
20:30.07 | Talad | so doing it right |
20:30.14 | |Kev| | Your aim could be just free labour for the summer, in which case you want to rank them lower, but I doubt that's anyone's aim. |
20:30.34 | Talad | and all the students get the same amount of money, so I want to be fair with others working full time |
20:30.37 | |Kev| | Talad: I am not Google, but ISTM to be entirely within the GSoC mantra to support students taking exams. |
20:30.52 | |Kev| | Talad: Right, you should work something out, rather than just saying "Oh, do half the work". |

20:31.00 | Talad | agreed |
20:31.08 | Talad | why you answer and you are not an op anyway ? |
20:31.32 | |Kev| | I would work on the theory that the student can give half hours for the first half, so they can give half hours for a few weeks before as well. |
20:31.32 | gevaerts | Being an op doesn't have much to do with knowing answers :) |
20:31.58 | Talad | gevaerts: but considering an answer official is part of it I guess |
20:31.58 | |Kev| | gevaerts: And knowing answers has little to do with willingness to assert opinions :D |
20:32.36 | gevaerts | Talad: most ops here are ops because they've shown to be good ops, not because what they say is official |
20:32.56 | Talad | mmm... so ops are not google employee? |
20:33.02 | gevaerts | The only way to know if something is official is to check if whoever who said it was using the nick "carols" :) |
20:33.06 | gevaerts | no |
20:33.20 | |Kev| | Talad: Ultimately, you can ignore everything I've said if you so wish. It is advice offered in good faith, but it is only my advice, for the little that's worth. |
20:33.33 | Talad | I think it's good advise |
20:33.39 | Talad | but I want to know if it was also official |
20:33.49 | |Kev| | 20:30 < |Kev|> Talad: I am not Google |
20:33.49 | Talad | and I understand it's not |
20:33.53 | Talad | but still good advise |

20:37.11 | |Kev| | Ah, right. |
20:37.19 | |Kev| | I think it should be clear from the idea what the general aim is. |
20:37.23 | Talad | and I can use some of the students right now to specify it |
20:37.29 | |Kev| | This is now strictly my opinion, not advice. |
20:37.33 | gevaerts | I'd say "enough to make sure that the student fully understands the idea and its implications" |
20:37.38 | Talad | or I can tell them to propose their project idea later on the application |
20:37.59 | Talad | I think the more it's specified the better |
20:37.59 | |Kev| | I think the student should give an outline in their application of what they think the steps would be to complete it (And they should be discussing this with you during this period). |
20:38.09 | |Kev| | And you and the student would, post-acceptance, work out appropriate project plans. |
20:38.23 | |Kev| | The aim isn't to play 'guess-the-aims' IMO. |
20:38.25 | Talad | a technical explanation? like a design document? |
20:38.28 | |Kev| | So specify as fully as you like. |

20:39.14 | cronco | from your experience, has any organization ever requested things like formal UML on a student application? |
20:39.19 | Talad | but yes... probably it's a good idea to have the students not only understand the idea, but really proposing a way forwar |
20:39.20 | Talad | d |
20:39.31 | Talad | so it makes easier for me to judge if they can really do it |
20:39.34 | gevaerts | If your requirements are very specific, specify a lot. If it's a much vaguer thing, you can let the student specify more |
20:39.37 | gevaerts | yes |
20:39.57 | Talad | I will not specify and implementation detail |
20:39.58 | |Kev| | I like there to be enough scope that the student has to show that they have more of an understanding than the ability to copy/paste. |
20:40.01 | Talad | so they have to think about it |
20:40.08 | gevaerts | You don't want the students to spend three weeks trying to understand what you mean, but you don't want them to just point at your text either |

20:41.55 | Talad | ok, I have another one :) |
20:41.58 | alinrus | Talad: as a former student I can say that the initial specifications change a lot until the end. the aim of the project should be clear, and some tight constraints if there are some, otherwise let the students experiment |
20:42.13 | Talad | I received a proposal to be a mentor from a person I don't know |
20:42.30 | Talad | I just saw his notification now on google |
20:42.30 | Talad | but how can I contact him? |
20:42.30 | Talad | there is just the ID and no email |
20:42.47 | |Kev| | If you don't know them, you don't want them as a mentor. |
20:42.59 | meenuh | so how much should the student know about the project when writing their proposals? |
20:43.05 | |Kev| | There are many people who try to game the system by applying to be mentors with orgs with whom they have no cannection. |
20:43.06 | Talad | maybe it's someone I know, but I don't know they are that ID |
20:43.19 | |Kev| | Talad: Then they will let you know that they appled. |
20:43.47 | Talad | eh, message is not very good :) |
20:43.49 | Talad | "I'ld like to work with you. |
20:43.49 | Talad | How I can do it ?" |
20:43.53 | meenuh | should it be really specific? |

20:44.08 | Talad | I agree mentors should be within the organization |

20:52.47 | dberkholz | Dark_Shikari: that's pretty difficult since orgs get paid directly now, not mentors |
20:53.00 | Dark_Shikari | that's what I just said |
20:53.25 | gevaerts | I find it hard to imagine that someone who understands gsoc would try this |
20:53.37 | gevaerts | Someone who only saw "$500 per mentor" might have a go though |
20:53.51 | dberkholz | oh, so you were saying that this would only happen at one of the orgs that later passes out the money |
20:54.08 | Dark_Shikari | I was saying it wouldn't happen period |
20:54.20 | gevaerts | Well, it wouldn't *work* |
20:54.26 | dberkholz | seems like a fair amount of work for not that much money |
20:54.37 | scorche | schumaml: but the admins can disable voting |
20:54.37 | gevaerts | dberkholz: only if you understand gsoc |

20:55.14 | Dark_Shikari | no, anonymous does not care about gsoc |
20:55.17 | dberkholz | to make it work properly, you should be a mentor known in the project under an alias, actually be a student, and apply as both student and mentor for the same project |

22:55.39 | gevaerts | So arguing that this rule isn't clear if the organisation has clearly said that they read it as "40 hours a week" isn't going to get you very far |

22:56.19 | gevaerts | All that said however, most organisations are prepared to be flexible with this if there's a good reason, such as "Student is not in the USA, so the schedule doesn't fit well" |

22:56.45 | klickverbot | I know, yes (the question really wasn't for myself, by the way, I have a wonderful lot of spare time to spend during the summer^^) |
22:56.51 | klickverbot | Anyway, thanks a lot again |
