10:47.24urukyou have to wait until the organisations post their ideas lists, then you can browse it through and find one that matches your skills the most
10:47.45urukbut first of all, read the FAQ, really, i don't know more than is written down there :)

21:17.20mecodestaais gsoc a lot of work ?
21:17.30Kakerotmecodestaa: yup
21:17.40mecodestaayou've participated before ?
21:17.56Kakerotno but i have seen my friend working for it
21:18.00meflinadmin/mentor and even that is a lot of work ... students even more so
21:18.02Catfish_Manmecodestaa: it's generally assumed that participating will be equivalent to a full-time summer job
21:18.32Kakeroteven i am new here...but want to learn
21:18.55mecodestaayeah, i'm in my final semester.. engineering ! i thought i'd do something useful this summer !
21:19.09mecodestaai've heard about GSOC before, but never have i participated, neither have my friends :P
21:19.10whitesenses a DBZ reference
21:19.44KakerotCatfish_Man: can you tell me a genral process or kind of prerequisites which the org wants in their candidates
21:19.45Kakerot?
21:19.57meflineach org has there own ideas on that
21:20.21Catfish_ManKakerot: most organizations will have information about that once proposals are being accepted (on their wiki, or at least in the proposal template)
21:20.36Catfish_ManKakerot: but generally speaking, it never hurts to get involved early and get to know the codebase and community
21:20.42meflinand some proposals require more then others
21:20.51mecodestaaso how does this thing kick off ?? i mean like organisations submit their thing, and we've to select a relevant project which interests us and submit a proposal on it ??
21:21.19Catfish_Manmecodestaa: roughly speaking, yeah. You can also submit your own ideas to an organization if you don't choose one from their list of ideas
21:21.22Kakerotmeflin: i  meant that like what all should we have done before so as to have a good chance in getting selected
21:21.23Kakerot?
21:21.40meflinorgs submit to be an org, then are chosen, then students submit to orgs and are chosen
21:22.03mecodestaameflin: have you participated before ?
21:22.06meflinKakerot: depends nothing to much depending on org and project
21:22.10meflinas a student ... no
21:22.28mecodestaaso i presume you were an admin/mentor ?
21:22.33meflinyes
21:22.48mecodestaathats great !
21:23.01mecodestaahow do you guys select students ?
21:23.02Kakerotbut still there might be something called preference thing in choosing candidates?
21:23.14meflinmecodestaa: well it depends :P
21:23.44meflinwhat does this project need? ect ect
21:24.00meflinone thing that almost always helps is getting in good with the project first
21:24.11meflinfix bug's , write docs , join the comunity
21:24.21mecodestaai know it can't be explained totally.. but a tiny heads up on that would do good ! i mean like you go for candidates with a good academic profile ?
21:24.31meflinmy eye is always on who I think will stick around for the long haul
21:24.45Kakerotand how do u judge that?
21:24.50mecodestaaoh, so its the interest the student shows ?
21:24.54meflinI use my gut
21:25.10meflina piddly summer code dump makes some code
21:25.23mecodestaaand it sure does matter if the student has good experience in the same field as the project right ?
21:25.24meflinsomeone who hangs around for years and works on the project improves the project
21:25.40meflinmecodestaa: not always
21:26.16mecodestaabut it does add on to probability the student gets in ?
21:26.30meflinI had a student aplication last year from a 45+ year old ... lots of exp at work
21:26.30Catfish_Manmecodestaa: things I tended to look for: related experience, ability to communicate clearly, project scope that seems feasible, works well with others, self-motivated, and excited about the goals of the project and organization
21:26.39meflintotaly bad culture fit
21:27.01*** join/#gsoc piyushbansal (~solo@14.139.82.6)
21:27.03Kakerotwell tell me one thing...if i stick to one org...and stay around work to fix bugs try to solve them and may even solve one or two thn i hav a good chance to get the project?
21:27.12mecodestaa@Catfish_Man that threw in some light , thank you !
21:27.18meflinthe last slot I accepted was perhaps the weakest programmer
21:28.08mecodestaaprogramming skills matter ?
21:28.08meflinKakerot: wont hurt ... but the sticking part doesn't depend on gsoc :)
21:28.18meflinfind something you are interested in
21:28.43mecodestaayeah, if we find something we are actually interested in we have good chances of completing the project :P
21:28.56meflinskills mater ... but I'm not looking for the best programer
21:29.02Kakerotmeflin: sorry but can you explain your last statement again ..didnt get you properly
21:29.44meflinKakerot: what _I_ am looking for is for students who will join the community long term ...
21:30.18meflinthe question I ask myself isn't does this student want to GSOC ... but will they stay around without a pile of $
21:30.43mecodestaamm i get it ! :)
21:31.01mecodestaaand this whole thing is about open source software development right ?
21:31.06meflinI've seen many students GSOC make some nice code and fade away
21:31.13meflin_I_ am not intersted in that
21:31.17meflinit is
21:31.25mecodestaai mean you need to have good pre-requisites on OSS.. other wise you can't possible get an offer ..
21:31.32Kakerotmeflin: well i work to get experience...GSOC gives a person the experience to work in an org and do projects on time
21:31.49meflinI am interested in building my development team and community
21:32.08Catfish_Manmecodestaa: most people haven't worked on OSS before; one of the goals of GSOC is to give people experience doing that so they can continue down that path
21:32.16Kakerotoh thats cool..
21:32.24meflinother admins may have different opinions
21:32.33KakerotCatfish_Man: damn true
21:32.35mecodestaaexactly , i haven't worked much on OSS in the past !
21:33.21mecodestaaOSS is huge !
21:33.23mecodestaaits big..
21:33.24meflinall that claimed , if you happen to end up as my student I will suddenly care about your carer ;)
21:33.32ollymecodestaa: most applicants haven't
21:33.36mecodestaai'd like to get heads up on it ! but i'm not sure where i can find the material !
21:33.46Catfish_Manon the internet
21:33.55mecodestaayeah but..
21:34.01whitemeflin, out of curiosity what org do you work for?
21:34.09mecodestaai have this interest for mobile application development !
21:34.13meflin( work call back in a few )
21:34.45Catfish_Manmecodestaa: so, for example, I was the admin for Adium back when we participated in GSOC. If you wanted to get involved in Adium, the steps are: 1) google for "how do I contribute to adium", 2) follow the instructions on the first hit
21:34.46mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: OSS is big right .. i mean lots of different programming platforms and languages are involved !
21:35.11mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: my question is how do you choose ? i mean.. an organisation or project..
21:35.25Catfish_Manmecodestaa: choose something you care about, ideally a program you use yourself
21:35.37Catfish_ManI'm fairly convinced that it's impossible to write quality software if you aren't using it yourself
21:35.38mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: that was good ! nice actually..
21:35.58mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: i get that..! thats true..
21:36.43mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: so until the organisations list is available on GSOC website is there anything that i could do ?
21:36.58mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: prepare for it or something like that..
21:37.02Catfish_Manmecodestaa: sure, take a look at the list from previous years, and see if there's anything that looks exciting
21:37.16Catfish_Manif there is, go join their irc channel, grab their code, and find a bug to fix
21:37.19KakerotCatfish_Man: one more thing...if suppose i choose one org and work for it like may be a year so will i have better chances to get in GSOC  with that org  in the next GSOC?
21:37.36mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: yeah something like that would do good ! :D
21:37.56meflinwhite: previously kernel.org this year systers ( still semi-work )
21:38.04Catfish_ManKakerot: there's some controversy about repeat students. Some organizations feel that they should accept new students to introduce more people to OSS, others feel that students they know do good work are preferable
21:39.19mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: If a student is interested in a particular project, and wants to contribute but has no prior knowledge on the requirements.. is he still a choice for the organisation to pick ?
21:39.36mecodestaai mean, if he really loves it.. he'd spend time to know about it and learn things quick !
21:39.40*** join/#gsoc mihai_barbulescu (~mihai@37.43.135.2)
21:39.43Catfish_Manmecodestaa: if the student is unlikely to be able to complete their proposal, they're unlikely to be accepted
21:40.22mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: so its all based upon how good the proposal is..
21:40.23Kakerotmay be its like you need to prove yourself before they actually consider you...am i right?
21:40.41meflindepends on the org/project
21:40.55meflinbeing proven is always better then not
21:40.55Catfish_ManKakerot: being able to judge ability accurately certainly makes it easier to make good decisions
21:41.10*** join/#gsoc Phantomas (~Phantomas@ubuntu/member/phantomas)
21:41.24ollyif you can prove yourself before selection, it's going to make you look like a good choice
21:41.27Catfish_Manmecodestaa: no, not entirely. It's based on all information that's available
21:41.45mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: all information ?? like what ?

21:42.22Catfish_Manmecodestaa: talking with the person. Looking at previous work. Their proposal. Anything, really. This isn't done by machines. It's just humans thinking about it.
21:42.24meflinapplication , interviews, watching irc ... :D
21:42.40Kakerotso like for this year's GSOC i am a bit late...but if i stick to an organisation work for its development try to contribute by bug fixing then probably i will be prefered..cause i have proved
21:42.55Kakerotand defintly i will work only when i love to work
21:43.00meflinstudent application period isn't open your not late

21:43.54mecodestaayeah, i saw its like a week and a 2 days more..
21:44.16Kakeroti know C and C++...ccnan u suggest a ggod org to work for?
21:44.37Catfish_ManKakerot: your focus is in the wrong place. What interests you in the world?
21:44.41Kakeroti mean org that needs students to have prerequisites as C or C+
21:44.42rihnapstormecodestaa: students applications begin from 22nd april
21:44.44Catfish_ManFigure out that, then find out if anyone is doing that in C/C++
21:44.45Kakerotcoding
21:44.55Kakerotand learning more in coding
21:44.58scuttlemonkeymeflin: I'm putting together my first mentoring org app...what caliber of project typically gets picked up (in your experience at least)
21:45.08mecodestaawow thats quite a long time to do good research on the organisations and choose a project !
21:45.10Catfish_ManKakerot: so perhaps a compiler or IDE project?
21:45.10scuttlemonkeywould be helpful in knowing what to concentrate on for our idea list
21:45.10mecodestaathats really nice :D
21:45.17mecodestaaand i thought i was running out of time :P

21:46.11Kakerotand even networks attracts me a lot
21:46.13scuttlemonkeyI was thinking more along the lines of what do students latch on to in terms of submitting apps
21:46.48mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: i'm good with c,c++,c#,java and i've also created a couple of applications on the android platform !
21:46.58scuttlemonkeyI'll be floating in and out if you (or anyone) has words of wisdom
21:47.13Catfish_Manmecodestaa: again, languages are just not very interesting. It's like saying "I'd like to write a book! I know English and French, what should the book be about?"
21:47.23Kakerotmecodestaa: you have good number of options open
21:47.26Catfish_Manlanguages are the tool you use to transform the world into something better
21:47.29Catfish_Mannot the goal themselves
21:47.45Catfish_Man(unless you're writing a compiler or doing language research)
21:47.46KakerotCatfish_Man: very true,...
21:47.47gevaertsCatfish_Man: German grammar, obviously
21:47.47rihnapstormecodestaa: most indians are bound to only java,c ,i guess you are indian ?
21:47.57mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: yeah but unless you're good with them.. and you have good problem solving skills and analytical skills.. you can't contribue effectively right ?
21:48.31Catfish_Manmecodestaa: sure. Someone with poor written language skills will have a hard time writing a book regardless of topic, to continue the example
21:48.37mecodestaa@rihnapstor: yeah, and blame our syllabus for that :P
21:48.37Kakerotmecodestaa: from which clg are you doin your B-tech?
21:48.39Catfish_Manso find something you want to make better in the world
21:48.48Catfish_Manthen find someone doing that in a language you know
21:49.31mecodestaa@kakerot, i'm from RMK engineering college.. its affiliated to Anna uniV.
21:50.34KakerotCatfish_Man: may be projects are more important topics to think on rather thn  coding language right?
21:50.49Catfish_ManKakerot: I think so
21:51.03Catfish_Manit's hard to care about something just because it's written in a particular language
21:51.07Catfish_Manand it's hard to write good software unless you care
21:51.47KakerotCatfish_Man: you are right...you changed my prespective of working in GSOC
21:52.16mecodestaa@Catfish_Man: yeah mine too :P
21:52.21Kakeroti used to search for languages as prerequisities...from now i will look for projects
21:53.04whiteif a project requires yo a know a particular language... you could prob learn the syntax in the next 2-3 months
21:53.36whitewhat you should actually be programming/the algorithm etc is more difficult and more pertinent imho
21:53.41Catfish_Manwhite: possibly. Learning syntax is not hard, but learning to think in the idioms of the language and framework can be time consuming
21:53.48Catfish_Manwe had a lot of trouble with new-to-cocoa programmers with Adium
21:54.36KakerotCatfish_Man: one more thing...i looked for different projects and tried to understand their projects but their coding seemed quite tuff to me...should we approach to a project only if we think we can get an idea how will we approach it so as to sole it
21:55.21Catfish_ManKakerot: it's definitely going to be challenging

22:05.33Catfish_ManKakerot: it's not a direct cause and effect thing like that
22:05.54Catfish_Mancontributing to a project helps you learn, and helps the other people who contribute to that project know you
22:06.19Catfish_Manif those people find that they can work well with you, and you do good work, then that's a good thing
22:06.28meflinas an example last year as admin-prime we had more great students then jobs
