00:09.26facefacehi
00:09.50facefacecan I make a mailing list and try to get student applicants to start working together?
00:10.03faceface(to answer each others questions)
00:10.26facefaceI feel less like a mentor and more like an enabler...
00:10.26rraffaceface: yep, other projects have done so :)
00:10.50facefaceincreasingly I think I'm in the wrong place, the idea is to foster community coding right?
00:11.14facefaceI'm not really a part of the community, just very loosly
00:11.21rrafexchange of ideas

00:11.41rrafyou can't force them to work together but you can provide an environment for them to do so
00:12.04topfs2faceface, thats probably a good idea, last year I was with beagle and they had a special gsoc irc first and slowly moved all discussion to the normal channel, was quite a good idea IMO
00:12.08facefacerraf: sure, I mean, they can't all get accepted...
00:12.08topfs2helped ease into the community
00:12.25facefacetopfs2: beagle?
00:12.49topfs2beagleboard
00:12.50rrafit's easier for newcommers to write on a gsoc list than the development mailing list
00:13.00facefacerraf: right
00:13.25facefacebut the ideas I posted don't really belong there either... I guess I got carried away on the wiki
00:13.38facefaceI'm guessing I won't get a slot within the org
00:13.46facefacebut I feel bad for the students writing to me
00:14.11facefacegoes to talk to his spiritual mentor in the organization proper...
00:14.33rrafyou should speak with the organization admin he might allow you to mentor that idea if you got so many requests for it
00:15.18rrafgiven that you have the knowledge to do so
00:17.35facefaceI'm worried the ideas are too speculative, not grounded, and not in line with the organizations core aims
00:18.18facefaceI can advise, I have some knowledge and experience, but I'm not sure I could do the project myself
00:18.49rrafcommunication is the key, speak with the org

00:54.53tty1anyone know where i can find more GSoC info on umbrella corps (either being one or getting to be a part of one)
00:55.42hypatiatty1: do you mean as a student or as a mentor
00:55.53tty1neither, as a project/org
00:55.53hypatiatty1: and my "umbrella corps" do you mean participating organizations?
00:56.02hypatiatty1: the deadline was like 3 weeks ago
00:56.18tty1hypatia, i mean a aprticipating orginization which allows other projects to participate in GSoC through them
00:56.56hypatiatty1: ah, gotcha... i'm unfamilar with that, sorry
00:58.05tty1hypatia, carols mentioned it earlier citing Apache foundation and python as examples

00:58.44hypatiaperhaps someone else in here does
00:59.48tty1well i dont so much need a list as i do more information on the GSoC guildines regarding umbrella orgs
01:00.30tty1hypatia, i was curious just how far it can go (can someone make an umbrella corp just for GSoC for example as a representation of many projects in a particular field but otherwise doesnt exist outside of GSoC except as individual projects)
01:01.03hypatiatty1: if they can't they can't at this point - org applications are long over.
01:01.09*** part/#gsoc asn (~fl@gentoo/developer/asn)
01:01.13hypatiatty1: but i haven't heard of that happening at all, fwiw
01:01.34tty1hypatia, yea i know that i was thinking forward to next year and just wnated more information ont he topic is all
01:01.47hypatianods
01:02.17hypatiawell, hopefully someone who knows will see your query :)
01:02.32hypatiaalternately, it may be more productive to mail the list, or mail carols directly
01:02.41dberkholztty1: well, one org could apply and claim to be an umbrella for many of them
01:02.42tty1hypatia, like this year we came close to being that indirectly.. we are our own org, but we hav several projects ont he ideas page with mentors from other projects outside of our own, specifically ont he topiuc of integrating their project with ours.. so in a sense we were an umbrella for many projects int he AI field this year
01:02.55tty1hypatia, so im considering if it may be worthwhile to play that up next year
01:03.10tty1hypatia, true she did say to email her if i had more questions
01:03.19hypatiahaving mentors working on integrating 3rd-party sw doesn't exactly make you an umbrella org, i don't think
01:03.27hypatiabut, it's not my call :)
01:03.28dberkholzfor x.org, we act as an umbrella for related projects that aren't actually "under" x.org
01:04.46tty1hypatia, yea but those mentors were the founders of the projects for which we are integrating, and the unique nature of our project makes it that working on 3rd-party apps directly effects our app (our framework essentially unifies 3rd-party libraries under a single framework)
01:04.53tty1hypatia, so we could expand on that idea next year
01:06.11hypatiatty1: i have no idea if that will be useful or not.  ask the folks who run gsoc.  i'm just another org admin.
01:06.27tty1hypatia, which org may i ask?
01:06.47hypatiatty1: k-9 mail

03:02.25m0Hello, if I was enrolled in Masters, last course I took was 3 months ago, but I am not taking any course now, am I elligble ?
03:03.43m0It says I must be a full time or part time student, I was part time 3 monhts ago, I guess that means I "must" be currently enrolled.
03:06.37*** join/#gsoc McMAGIC-- (debian-tor@gateway/tor-sasl/mcmagic--)
03:10.11downeymm0: Yes, you must be currently enrolled as a student (masters is OK), although most GSoC students are not actively taking courses during the summer (northern hemisphere) holidays.
03:11.17downeymm0: I know in my masters programme you do not necessarily take courses every semester, sometimes just research. Do you still have an active status at university as a student?

06:24.50jljusten1Oh, I guess there are no guarantees in terms of reply timelines from the mentor orgs
06:24.53chunmun(or more :! )
06:25.04jljusten1Did you join the project's email list?
06:25.53littlehorse1880<PROTECTED>
06:26.02ojwbthere's no "start date" for contacting mentoring orgs
06:26.04littlehorse1880Do you mean this?
06:26.12ojwbyou can contact them at any point in the year
06:26.43ojwblittlehorse1880: no, that's a general mailing list for gsoc
06:26.44jljusten1No, usually open source projects have a public devel email list.
06:27.04jljusten1You can start to interact with the project members on that list...
06:27.12ojwbit depends on the org, but many encourage discussion in public rather than contacting mentors privately
06:27.43ojwband you'll probably get more feedback that way

09:04.51|Kev|Maru_: It entirely depends on your field.
09:04.55bobbensand what you want to do
09:05.02Maru_CS grad school

09:05.29theboltsame with me, but quite indirectly
09:05.47bobbensMaru_: if you can get an interesting intership it is probably betetr than gsoc imho
09:05.57bobbensbut for getting an intership "for the hell of it", gsoc is probably better :)
09:06.03|Kev|I think quite the opposite, as it happens :)

09:06.06Maru_bobbens: any reason?
09:06.07|Kev|As I say, depends on your field.
09:06.39bobbensMaru_: well you just have to think what can help you more, an interesting internship closely related to your field at a reputable center is probably better than gsoc

14:45.29Nightroseas long as you don't overdo it yes

14:47.00gevaertsrbl: surely that's not more difficult than choosing one? :)

14:49.18rblwhere do i have brighter chances of getting in?? i mean any such org r there?
14:49.19|Kev|Replacing words with numbers, using 'b' instead of 'be' etc.
14:49.27|Kev|!odds
14:49.27socinfo|Kev|: "odds" is Odds, chances or probability really do not come into play for GSoC. Rambling off numbers or asking What are the odds of getting accepted... is really quite useless as one's acceptance is not dictated by luck or numbers, but by the quality of your proposal and your skills instead.

17:07.55OphiuchiAnubisss: I can't answer authoritatively, but afair you just need to be signed up at your school. If it's eg good enough for your health insurance, it should be good enough for Google.

21:59.26sumanah"Inventory your time. Figure out how many hours per week are already spoken for outside of your GSoC commitment, including time spent volunteering for other projects and activities, and counting credit-hours of University instruction. GSoC should be treated as a full-time job.  If you have more than a few hours a week of extra commitments, you probably should skip GSoC; it is unlikely that you will be successful."

22:29.28|Kev|You're (probably) learning a number of new things during GSoC, as well as doing challenging work. You need to be fresh for this.
22:29.42|Kev|40 hours a week for GSoC is fine - the problem is what else you have on outside those hours.
22:29.53|Kev|40 hours a week assuming you're spending the usual amount of time resting is fine.
22:30.08|Kev|40 hours a week if you spend another 40 doing something else challenging is going to be pushing  yourself very hard.

23:22.51lgadminOur project has had a presumed student approach us who is a plagiarist (therefore a scammer as far as I am concerned) based on his correspondence with us. What is the right way to alert other projects or GSoC about this?
23:23.36carolslgadmin: if you're on the mentors list you're welcome to email them to let them know. if your org is new and you're not on the list yet email me directly and I'll forward it along
23:23.56schumamllgadmin: out of curiosity, did you confront the student with your findings?
23:24.16lgadminNo, I have not confronted the student about it.
23:24.50lgadminIt goes beyond plagiarism.
23:25.22lgadmin- not meaning to get too indignant about it.
23:25.45lgadminYou know, Google works two ways. :-)
23:26.30lgadminCarols, indeed, we are new. I will email you. Thank you.
23:26.38schumamlyou realize that other orgs won't necessarily take your word for it, right? i.e. there should be some prrof...
23:26.46carolslgadmin: you're welcome
23:26.49schumaml*proof
23:26.59lgadminEasy.
23:29.54brlcadlgadmin: keep in mind that some younger students (unfortunately) may not even be aware that plagiarism is unacceptable
23:30.12brlcadsome cultures and environments may even encourage it (by playing a blind eye to it)
23:30.15scorche|shdifferent cultures have different interpretations
23:30.41lgadminIt is not just the plagiarism it is the faking of expertise.
23:30.49brlcaddon't know the circumstance of your situation, but something that is obviously immoral and perhaps even offensive to you might be completely normal to them
23:30.55scorche|shit certainly is best to inform the student about your view on it, what he is doing, and what he should resist doing and then seeing what - ah...more than just a big ego?  ;)
23:31.40lgadminI am concerned that with behavior like this I will just be educating a scammer how to be more subtle and get further along.
23:31.44lgadminSeriously.
23:32.06brlcadmy roommate in college was a habitual liar, outright mean from my view but it was culturally acceptable for him from his upbringing as a means to get ahead
23:33.28schumamlwe've been at "cultural acceptable" before
23:33.44brlcadI'm not sure I see how NOT talking to him and expressing your concern could be bad, especially if you tell him you've informed other orgs -- that's punitive in itself
23:33.46PlainFlavoredThis is a really broad question, but what qualifies one to be accepted as a student? Is it based on knowledge/merit, or experience, or both?
23:33.55schumaml"why is the deadline fixed? a deadline means that one week afterwards is still ok in my culture!!!"
