00:19.02morgan_bI am interested in knowing what sort of commitment I will make by submitting an proposal to a project? Do I still have the option of declining the position if an attractive internship offer shows up?
00:19.27agliodbsmorgan_b: not once you're selected

00:19.39agliodbsmorgan_b: if you're selected, and you don't turn it down then
00:19.54agliodbsthen the project you're applying to loses that slot for the summer
00:20.04agliodbsand you pretty much burn your bridges with Google

00:21.16agliodbsyes.
00:21.30klocatelliok
00:21.31agliodbsjust plan on making a final decision by April 18th

00:21.49agliodbsApril 23rd, actually
00:21.57*** part/#gsoc panset (~panset@unaffiliated/panset)
00:22.04agliodbsif you cancel then, the org can still swap the student just below you in the rankings
00:22.13agliodbsif you wait a week, they can't
00:22.16klocatelliyeah
00:22.20agliodbsand they'll be pretty pissed
00:22.59klocatelliI don't plan on declining or anything, I'm probably the reverse case :P
00:23.06klocatellijust wanted to be clear though ^_^
00:23.11agliodbsyeah, I didn't get that impression
00:23.13thgil<PROTECTED>
00:23.42agliodbsmorgan_b: realistically, given how competitive GSOC is, you really shouldn't apply if it's not your top priority
00:23.53agliodbsthgil: in theory, yes
00:24.02agliodbsthgil: but that only happens around 5% of the time

00:33.28morgan_bThanks agliodbs. I'll have to consider this carefully.
00:33.28gsocbotagliodbs: "proposal" is All students have to submit proposal documents for the ideas they have chosen. Read the FAQ at  http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/faqs#student_application_looks for details and examples.
00:34.13agliodbsmorgan_b: consider that, if you get chosen and then change your mind, some other student may have missed their chance to work on the project

00:42.36dfighterwell if you signed up before the student application period
00:42.48posimpableya i think so, may be

00:43.17dfighterwell the site did say so
00:43.42posimpableokay, i'll recreate another one and check it out
00:43.44dfighterwhere it says "students apply now" it used to say "mentors apply now"
00:43.59dfighterif you click the apply button then

01:19.50Triskelios!edit | ardahal
01:19.50gsocbotardahal: "edit" is Students can edit proposals up until the application deadline. Mentors can allow students to edit proposals on a case-by-case basis after the deadline. Note that comments on proposals can _not_ be edited after submitting.
01:20.20ardahalTriskelios: thanks
01:20.51ardahalbut any idea what is 'case-by-case' ?
01:21.33MatthewWilkesardahal: It means that it's up to the mentoring org and they decide for each proposal
01:22.18ardahalMatthewWilkes: Thanks for the info.
01:22.22MatthewWilkesardahal: Which means it's not just a switch to say 'any student', or 'any proposal by ardahal', but just 'let this proposal be edited', and you usually need a good reason

06:20.35jpsquick survey: how many more student proposals over last year? looking like about 2.5x to me
06:20.43GushingsAnyone know if the proposals are going to be listed on google if made public?

06:25.17GushingsR is so awesome
06:25.59v1zlooks up to R
06:26.12jpsmore than have the proposals for R this year involve portfolio analytics or high frequency market data
06:26.47GushingsThat's interesting.
06:26.48klocatelli:o
06:27.08jpsI'm okay with the former, but I think high frequency trading mostly makes money by skimming off the predictability of institutional large trades (i.e., most people's retirement savings funds)

15:44.14|Kev|I think three decent proposals plus studies or day job is doable.
15:44.46|Kev|Most of the effort is working out how to write a good proposal, and how to interact with orgs.
15:45.12downeyHopefully students have been thinking about their proposals and working with the orgs long before the time period opens.
15:45.30sharveysome, probably
15:45.41sharveythere are some of us who unfortunately have end of term right at this time period
15:45.45ajedi'm currently really busy - perhaps i'm an exception? i have a paper to write, program to finish writing, user manual for another program to write and an iphone app to build all before i move to Geneva in a month's time...

17:30.59masqueradeI just get a presentation yesterday to a group on campus about it hoping to get people to get involved, which gave them < 24 hours to find an interesting organization and get a proposal in. They still may be able to prove good students.
17:31.03agliodbskev: you have a week to query them
17:31.39masquerade|Kev|: I don't think them not having submitted patches is something to judge on. The goal is to get new students involved and submitting code in the coming months, students who otherwise may not have contributed to your project
17:31.48agliodbsyeah, the graduate CS professor at USFCA just told her students about GSOC, on Wednesday
17:32.03|Kev|masquerade: I do think it's something to judge on. It's one of the best selection criteria.
17:32.20agliodbsmasquerade: part of that depends on the pool they already have of students, and the barrier to entry
17:32.49agliodbsmasquerade: we wouldn't require a patch for Postgres, but I can imagine Drupal doing so
17:32.58|Kev|masquerade: We have a list of tasks picked particularly to be suitable for students to try, that should only take a couple of hours. I don't think it's a hardship for them to give one a try if they want to apply. Else we have no idea how they'll deal with submitting the patches during the project.

17:35.30masquerade|Kev|: I saw, and you didn't say that before, but I still think that given that many students quite possibly could have only heard about the project in the last < 24 hours, you consider that such things might be forthcoming, or you contact them for more details and ask that they try some things.

17:59.15fujiiin gnome I think more than 1/4 is accepted, but you have to make a contribution before the application, so many people give up applying in the first place
17:59.19|Kev|maccy: Using some entirely unscientific method of how likely they seem to be to complete the project, the quality of project they're likely to produce and (possibly most importantly) how fun they'll be to work with.

19:18.14blacktooth!slots
19:18.14gsocbotblacktooth: "slots" is (#1) Slot allocation is done manually by Chris DiBona and Carol Smith, be a good org, play nice on the mentor list and #gsoc, ask for a non-crazy-high number of slots, and you'll probably get what you ask. Note that non-crazy-high for new orgs is around 1 or 2., or (#2) http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/NotesonStudentAllocations

19:26.22dberkholztrusktr: the canonical source is the timeline on the melange site, which says 1900 utc. the length of that "deadline" in google calendar is just to make it easier to read its title.
