00:07.13 | Frenchie | Hey |
00:09.06 | donpinto | Hi Carol, we are planning on putting out the list of projects soon - questions (1) If we get selected, will we be assigned slots or will the selected projects be picked? |
00:10.13 | mmadia | donpinto -- carols signed off a few minutes ago. mentoring orgs are assigned slots and they choose which students/projects to accept. |

00:47.51 | saste | do candidate mentors need to register before the application is done? |
00:48.06 | anth_r | no. |
00:48.15 | anth_r | i'm not even sure they can. |
00:48.25 | meflin | they do need trust of the org's |
00:48.40 | anth_r | well, they can register, but i don't think there's a way to say "we're attached to org X" |
00:49.20 | meflin | there is no way at this time to register as a mentor only as an org |
00:49.23 | saste | anth_r, indeed, that's what i thought as well, but better safe than sorry |

02:23.01 | ravenlock | seems unweildy to put all on one page. |

02:34.33 | hiker | ravenlock: I asked the same question before, and was told "AFAIK 1" (i.e. only one URL), and "so you want g to click back and forth because you are to lazy?" |
02:34.55 | hiker | That wasn't from an official op (afaik) - hope that helps a bit |
02:35.32 | ravenlock | ok. noted. technically is only one URL to be provided. but would require clicking to see details. |
02:35.39 | ravenlock | I can put all on one page. |
02:35.45 | ravenlock | one very very long page. |
02:35.47 | ravenlock | but is fine |

02:37.13 | hiker | We decided to just submit our list of ideas URL. |

11:07.32 | ockham | hi, the FAQ say, " A link to a bug tracker for your open source organization is NOT an ideas list." |
11:08.07 | ockham | what about a link to a bug tracker filtering for a specific "gsoc-idea" tag? |
11:08.53 | ockham | like so: https://github.com/thinkle/gourmet/issues?labels=gsoc-idea&page=1&state=open |
11:11.10 | olly | arvind_khadri: you'd have to check with carols, but 4am california time is not a good time to find her here |
11:11.16 | olly | would guess not |
11:11.27 | MatthewWilkes | ockham: Should be fine. The point is that it should be gardened |
11:11.42 | ockham | MatthewWilkes: okay, thx. |
11:11.49 | MatthewWilkes | ockham: Looking at those ideas though, they're very short, have no common structure, and some have lots of obtuse comments |
11:12.05 | arvind_khadri | olly, I see, thanks, will hang around here. :) |
11:12.34 | MatthewWilkes | ockham: Here's our draft, for example: https://plone.org/events/summer-of-code/2013/ideas-list |

11:12.58 | ockham | looks good, though |
11:14.54 | olly | even ignoring its importance for selection, it's worth spending time making sure the ideas are well presented |

11:16.50 | MatthewWilkes | ockham: For one, you'd be surprised at how often students think they need to find a mentor |
11:17.00 | MatthewWilkes | So you should be clear about who is appropriate |
11:17.43 | ockham | MatthewWilkes: ok, thx for the hint |
11:18.36 | ockham | MatthewWilkes: thing is, we're pretty small - only two active devs, so we can't take more than one student anyway, and it'd be always the same two people acting as main and backup mentor |
11:18.55 | MatthewWilkes | ockham: Okay |
11:19.03 | ockham | i was going to add that to https://github.com/thinkle/gourmet/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code -- but that's not really an ideas list, only linking to it |
11:19.14 | ockham | (our wiki is read-only for non-members) |
11:20.10 | MatthewWilkes | ockham: I'd say to just modify the descriptions of the issues a bit so they're easier to read and all follow the same pattern of headings, etc |
11:20.35 | MatthewWilkes | Standard disclaimer: I don't speak for google, I represent an organisation. Which you probably already guessed. |

14:46.12 | yogev_ezra | carols: it's good, thank you. I will review those 2 pages |
14:46.16 | MatthewWilkes | yogev_ezra: The (very unfinished – we have a load of notes to format and add in) draft of the Plone ideas list is at https://plone.org/events/summer-of-code/2013/ideas-list |
14:46.17 | carols | great :-) |
14:46.38 | MatthewWilkes | yogev_ezra: We spent ages working out a good format and useful information, it's very similar to the KDE one and has a lot in common with yours |
14:46.52 | MatthewWilkes | yogev_ezra: You might want to copy the 'your own idea' section, too, I dunno |
14:47.29 | yogev_ezra | MatthewWilkes: thanks for the advice |
14:47.30 | MatthewWilkes | We put that there to give people with their own ideas a hint as to what kind of scope we'd like |
14:48.21 | yogev_ezra | carols: But another question that I hope you would be able to answer: Does this page have to be complete before I am submitting my application, or is it enough for it to be complete before you start the reviewing? |
14:48.37 | carols | yogev_ezra: yes, it must be complete. |

14:49.50 | carols | it takes so long to review each application individually that we have to start immediately after the window closes. |

15:29.54 | Albert_C | 5. What are the eligibility requirements for mentoring organizations? Mentor organizations must be organizations or individuals running an active and viable open source or free software project whose proposals are approved by Google's Open Source Programs Office. Organizations based in Iran, Syria, Cuba, Sudan, North Korea and Myanmar (Burma), with whom we are prohibited by U.S. law from engaging in commerce, are ineligible to parti |

16:33.35 | ravenlock | carols, might you have a moment to discuss something on the mentoring org application? |
16:33.39 | carols | sure |
16:36.05 | ravenlock | in the past one of the comments mentioned to us in feedback on not being accepted had to do with "needing a better answer wrt 'what to do with dissapearing student' " |
16:36.45 | ravenlock | the comment was along the lines of "make sure it is thoughtful and that you have considered all possibilities of what to do when the dissapear". |
16:37.27 | ravenlock | so… we have crafted a master plan in which we essentially stop short of planting an RFID chip in them do avoid dissapearing. |
16:37.47 | ravenlock | but this seems quite contrary to advice for mentors posted here: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/AdviceforMentors |
16:38.04 | ravenlock | and in fact… the feedback even seems… confusing in light of the advice on that page. |
16:38.12 | ravenlock | so… I'm wondering... |
16:38.41 | ravenlock | if you can provide insight into what you desire with respect to this question on application |
16:38.42 | *** join/#gsoc gwty (~gwty@223.177.194.106) |
16:39.10 | ravenlock | (we've participated a couple years in a row, then sat out a few years… sitting on the feedback I mention just now) |
16:39.19 | ravenlock | so… a little confused. |
16:39.26 | MatthewWilkes | ravenlock: IANAGoogler, but: I have done this before. I've spent time phoning up students, contacting their employers to say we're worried about them, finding them on social networks to express concern they're not returning calls, etc. Every single one that's disappeared significantly has come back a week before the midterm and worked hard to try and get the money |
16:40.12 | MatthewWilkes | ravenlock: My personal opinion is that you should do more than a couple of emails, in case they have a genuine communications problem, but that significant effort chasing them is likely to be wasted |
16:40.52 | ravenlock | that has always been our beleif from the get go. But then we were told… that beleif was insufficient. |
16:40.57 | ravenlock | specifically |
16:41.23 | ravenlock | or… that was my understanding of what was said to me. And it was said rather clear I thought |
16:42.04 | ravenlock | thinks he has lost carols |
16:42.11 | carols | you have, actually. |
16:42.14 | MatthewWilkes | ravenlock: Well, again, I'm not speaking about your past experiences, but there's a lot more you can say in those answers. For example, you can reference timelines you'll have your student set and how you'll get them back on track if they re-appear |
16:42.31 | MatthewWilkes | carols: Sorry for butting in! I'm waiting for things to build and am bored… |

16:52.28 | carols | so looking at your application from last year and from our notes from the meeting, i don't get the impression that that particular question was the "make or break" part of the application. in fact, i get the sense we made some tough decisions and your org fell on the wrong side of the chopping block. |

16:53.03 | JordiGH | I got the same answer last year, that our application looked good, but we just got unlucky. |
16:53.04 | carols | so, that may have been the feedback in previous years, but i don't think that was the problem last year. |
16:53.17 | carols | JordiGH: we make a lot of hard decisions. |
16:53.39 | carols | ravenlock: there are some orgs that clearly have not thought out what happens when a student drops off the face of the planet. |
16:53.57 | carols | but i don't get the impression that's the discussion we were having last year in reviewing your app. |
16:54.22 | carols | so, i guess, long story short, don't worry too much about modifying your answer to that question for this year's app. |
16:55.00 | ravenlock | hm. ok. as I mention, last years log of our convo was lost to me. prev years I had. |
16:55.01 | carols | and thank you for being proactive for this year. |
16:55.38 | carols | also, please keep in mind that that's a 4 hour non-stop meeting for me each year |
16:55.44 | JordiGH | carols: I'm trying to write an application for Mercurial this year. They were accepted in 2011 but rejected in 2012. My impression is probably that the ideas page looked weak. Is this what happened? I wasn't involved with Mercurial in past GSoCs. |
16:55.49 | carols | and sometimes the wires get crossed even though i don't intend them to. |
16:55.54 | ravenlock | ha…well….this will sound bad… but somehow 2012 has dissapeared for me all together. (even the app). I will rummage. meybe it still in melange and accessible to me? |
16:56.02 | Catfish_Man | JordiGH: oh nice, you're working with hg? I didn't realize that |
16:56.04 | ravenlock | carols, yes. I know is taxing on you. |
16:56.21 | carols | JordiGH: let me look at the spreadsheet. |
16:56.34 | ravenlock | carols, thanks for your help. :) |
16:56.47 | carols | ravenlock: yw. sorry i can't offer you any sage insight. |
16:56.52 | JordiGH | Catfish_Man: Yes... I am trying to polish up the ideas page. It doesn't look great right now. |

16:57.31 | JordiGH | ravenlock: Oh, you're with Sage? |
16:57.44 | ravenlock | ;) |
16:57.46 | Catfish_Man | JordiGH: cool, good luck :) mercurial was a big help to us (sigh... Adium. Not us anymore) |
16:57.57 | carols | JordiGH: mercurial? did they apply as "mercurial" last year? |
16:58.22 | JordiGH | carols: The id might be "hg"? Or did they totally flake out and not even apply? They told me they were rejected |

16:59.44 | carols | it could be listed as another name? |
16:59.48 | carols | if so, i can look that up. |
16:59.56 | ravenlock | JordiGH, you were referring to our inability to get accepted, then? |
17:00.08 | carols | Sage participated last year! |
17:00.18 | JordiGH | carols: Oh, looks liek I was misinformed. They didn't apply last year. |
17:00.20 | Catfish_Man | carols: can you search by people involved? Augie Fackler/durin42 has historically been around for that org |
17:00.22 | Catfish_Man | ah ok |
17:00.30 | carols | well there ya go. |
17:01.22 | ravenlock | carols, I don't suppose previous years apps are available on melange? |
17:01.35 | JordiGH | ravenlock: Yes. Also, I still have hopes for Sage to stay on hg... |
17:01.35 | MatthewWilkes | Excuse the OTness, but how awesome is this: http://dist.plone.org/media/contributormaps/latest.png - each pin is a city we've had contributions to Plone from in the last 5 days |

20:39.43 | kowey | hi all; we're a bit confused by "IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO BIND MENTOR ORGANIZATION, PLEASE DO NOT CLICK THE "I ACCEPT" BUTTON BELOW." |
20:40.33 | kowey | are there any implications for who in the project can make the application for us to participate in GSoC? |
20:41.25 | paultag | depends on the org, I s'pose |
20:41.34 | kowey | our official proj lead (well, me) is busy and would like to delegate |
20:41.43 | paultag | shrugs |
20:41.45 | paultag | we did that with Debian |
20:41.52 | paultag | the org admins are "delegates" |
20:41.56 | paultag | so, no problem |
20:42.23 | kowey | I'm happy to go with that if nobody else has a counter opinion |
20:42.25 | kowey | (thanks) |
20:42.45 | paultag | basically, this is to prevent some random from submiting an application they don't have a connection with |
20:42.48 | paultag | AFAIK |
20:43.05 | kowey | that's what I'd assume |
20:43.17 | kowey | I think we sometimes get a bit nervous about these sorts of things |
20:43.35 | paultag | kowey: who is "we" (if you don't mind, I'm generally interested) |
20:43.49 | kowey | hi :-), darcs |
20:43.54 | paultag | hi! :) |
20:43.58 | paultag | ah, ok :) |
