00:07.13FrenchieHey
00:09.06donpintoHi 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?
00:10.13mmadiadonpinto -- carols signed off a few minutes ago.   mentoring orgs are assigned slots and they choose which students/projects to accept.

00:26.36halfdan-mmadia: what factors do they take into account when assigning slots?
00:27.26mmadiaiirc, first time orgs will usually get at most two slots.

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

02:22.51ravenlockHow important is it that our ideas page be "one page".  We essentially have a smaller index page with all the categories and ideas, then each idea has its own page of detail.  And these individual pages are a bit long.
02:23.01ravenlockseems unweildy to put all on one page.
02:23.31ravenlockdoes Google Reviewers, look to the secondary pages?  or is it some snapshot process and then they look at the one page?

02:34.33hikerravenlock: 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?"
02:34.55hikerThat wasn't from an official op (afaik) - hope that helps a bit
02:35.32ravenlockok.  noted.  technically is only one URL to be provided.  but would require clicking to see details.
02:35.39ravenlockI can put all on one page.
02:35.45ravenlockone very very long page.
02:35.47ravenlockbut is fine
02:36.26hikerI can't imagine either that this would be an issue (in our case we have a GSoC overview pages, and an idea page)
02:36.29Arthur_Dtidiness doesn't equal laziness - quite the opposite
02:37.13hikerWe decided to just submit our list of ideas URL.
02:37.36hikerIt would (imho) be great if the form had an 'comment' section, where you could provide additional details

02:40.06hikerravenlock: also we have one page with the list of ideas, but link to sub-pages for some ideas with additional details, but those details would be more interesting if you want to implement it, not to understand the idea

03:13.08ravenlockolly, is nice.  unfortunately our "new wiki" is "phabtastic"  and does not seem to support such coolness.
03:13.59ollymore generally, have a look at what other orgs do and see what works well as someone coming to the page not knowing much about the org
03:14.41ollya google search for something like "gsoc project ideas" will find you loads

09:50.35stefanhaI wouldn't worry about it for now.
09:51.24ollyperhaps they decided they didn't find it a useful thing to see

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

11:12.58ockhamlooks good, though
11:14.54ollyeven ignoring its importance for selection, it's worth spending time making sure the ideas are well presented
11:15.17ollyotherwise if you get selected you'll end up answering the same student qeustions over and over

11:16.50MatthewWilkesockham: For one, you'd be surprised at how often students think they need to find a mentor
11:17.00MatthewWilkesSo you should be clear about who is appropriate
11:17.43ockhamMatthewWilkes: ok, thx for the hint
11:18.36ockhamMatthewWilkes: 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
11:18.55MatthewWilkesockham: Okay
11:19.03ockhami 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
11:19.14ockham(our wiki is read-only for non-members)
11:20.10MatthewWilkesockham: 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
11:20.35MatthewWilkesStandard disclaimer: I don't speak for google, I represent an organisation. Which you probably already guessed.

13:12.59stefanhaishitva: Google has not yet announced the participating organizations for this year.  There is no guarantee that Wikimedia will be in GSoC.

16:33.35ravenlockcarols, might you have a moment to discuss something on the mentoring org application?
16:33.39carolssure
16:36.05ravenlockin 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' "
16:36.45ravenlockthe 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".
16:37.27ravenlockso…  we have crafted a master plan in which we essentially stop short of planting an RFID chip in them do avoid dissapearing.
16:37.47ravenlockbut this seems quite contrary to advice for mentors posted here:  http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/AdviceforMentors
16:38.04ravenlockand in fact… the feedback even seems… confusing in light of the advice on that page.
16:38.12ravenlockso… I'm wondering...
16:38.41ravenlockif 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)
16:39.10ravenlock(we've participated a couple years in a row, then sat out a few years… sitting on the feedback I mention just now)
16:39.19ravenlockso… a little confused.
16:39.26MatthewWilkesravenlock: 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
16:40.12MatthewWilkesravenlock: 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
16:40.52ravenlockthat has always been our beleif from the get go.  But then we were told… that beleif was insufficient.
16:40.57ravenlockspecifically
16:41.23ravenlockor… that was my understanding of what was said to me.  And it was said rather clear I thought
16:42.04ravenlockthinks he has lost carols
16:42.11carolsyou have, actually.
16:42.14MatthewWilkesravenlock: 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
16:42.31MatthewWilkescarols: Sorry for butting in! I'm waiting for things to build and am bored…

18:00.52chokito76thanks carols, we are a small group developing a multimedia software (lgpl). the program is interesting to us, but I was wondering about the menthors/admin requirements. can admins and methors be the same people?
18:01.04carolschokito76: yes.

18:01.29carolsthat's a huge undertaking for one person, and folks often under-anticipate the workload

18:01.47carolshowever, you *must* have at least two org admins.
18:01.59carolsno, i mean the time required to both be an org admin and to mentor student(s)
18:02.19chokito76oh, that's for sure!

18:12.54carolsassuming you meet the other eligibility requirements.

18:14.07carolsHOWEVER
18:14.23carolsif the university revokes that acceptance before may 27 then you are no longer eligible to participate

20:40.33koweyare there any implications for who in the project can make the application for us to participate in GSoC?
20:41.25paultagdepends on the org, I s'pose
20:41.34koweyour official proj lead (well, me) is busy and would like to delegate

20:41.56paultagso, no problem
20:42.23koweyI'm happy to go with that if nobody else has a counter opinion
20:42.25kowey(thanks)
20:42.45paultagbasically, this is to prevent some random from submiting an application they don't have a connection with
20:42.48paultagAFAIK
20:43.05koweythat's what I'd assume

22:22.27Kyzz[Mobile]halfdan-: I'm not partial to anything really.  I'm new to most of this.
22:23.08|Kev|Pick a project for some software that you use, or think you could usefully use?
22:24.41derdonKyzz[Mobile]: you are probably not a professional at 10 programming languages, so that reduces your choice already

22:26.30derdonKyzz[Mobile]: also ask yourself what topics you like. do you like analysing data? web development? games? something totally different?
22:27.49Kyzz[Mobile]derdon: I like web development from what I've been exposed to.
22:29.47derdonKyzz[Mobile]: then you'll find something you like
22:30.10Kyzz[Mobile]derdon: Why do you say that?
22:30.34derdonKyzz[Mobile]: the thing about web development is you often have to master a lot of technologies and "juggle" with them so they fit nicely together
22:30.55derdonKyzz[Mobile]: you asked for suggestions on how to pick a project
22:31.16derdonKyzz[Mobile]: and I told you some criteria like your own skills and preferences
