18:21.22 | Slurpee | alemedeiros, it truly depends what type of project you want to work on... |
18:21.29 | Slurpee | web? os? research? |
18:24.07 | Arthur_D | games? ;) |
18:25.20 | Slurpee | Arthur_D, exactly...do you know any open source projects related to gaming that have participated in gsoc in the past? |
18:25.30 | Arthur_D | yes |
18:25.47 | gevaerts | Also, I'd say webos is dead ;) |
18:26.04 | Slurpee | Arthur_D, look into what type of tasks they have accomplished in the past. Maybe even try to contact the org. |
18:26.14 | Slurpee | gevaerts, good one, har har ;) |
18:26.27 | Arthur_D | hehe Slurpee you misunderstood me :) |
18:26.31 | Arthur_D | last year, we at SuperTuxKart participated for the first time with great success |
18:26.40 | Arthur_D | so just hinting ;) |
18:27.04 | gevaerts | There have been lots of game things in gsoc |
18:27.22 | Arthur_D | Hedgewars also participated... and Battle for Wesnoth I think |
18:27.23 | *** join/#gsoc shadeslayer_ (~shadeslay@ubuntu/member/shadeslayer) |
18:27.40 | Arthur_D | also some game engine stuff like OGRE |
18:27.41 | gevaerts | They're usually pointed out as "unimportant" whenever people complain about not being accepted with something else |
18:27.59 | gevaerts | So for comprehensive lists of game projects, look for those rants :) |
18:28.06 | Arthur_D | ah |
18:28.24 | Arthur_D | well personally I think open source games are rather important |
18:28.38 | Arthur_D | of course not as important as many other projects |
18:28.46 | *** join/#gsoc KristofDM (~kristof@78-22-33-180.access.telenet.be) |
18:28.47 | gevaerts | I'm not saying that's *my* opinion |
18:28.55 | Arthur_D | sure :) |
18:29.32 | Arthur_D | in any case it does seem like Google makes sure to have a diverse set of projects |
18:29.55 | Arthur_D | not just one area in the field of programming |
18:30.04 | gevaerts | Seriously though, go to the past lists of projects, and filter on "game" in the tags column |
18:30.07 | gevaerts | nods |
18:31.02 | gevaerts | I'd say that diversity is important, probably more so than almost all other criteria |
18:31.05 | Arthur_D | hm where can I find that? |

18:37.23 | Arthur_D | 'Columns' at the bottom has 'Key', 'Status' and 'Mentors' not added yet... no 'Tags' |
18:37.29 | Arthur_D | do I need to log in or something |
18:37.47 | gevaerts | Wich exact page are you looking at? |
18:37.50 | Arthur_D | ah now I see |
18:37.57 | Arthur_D | I was looking at the accepted projects |
18:38.10 | Arthur_D | not accepted organizations. Sorry, my bad |
18:38.17 | gevaerts | AH, yes |
18:38.56 | Arthur_D | 11 game related organizations accepted |
18:39.21 | Arthur_D | out of 180 that's not a lot |
18:40.24 | gevaerts | Plus possibly a few where they didn't bother about proper tags |
18:40.36 | Arthur_D | maybe |
18:40.59 | Arthur_D | still it doesn't seem like gaming orgs are being unfairly favoured |
18:41.39 | gevaerts | Well, they're there, and I work on a compiler for language X, which is clearly more important! |
18:41.56 | Arthur_D | hehe |
18:42.27 | *** join/#gsoc prii (65d65613@gateway/web/freenode/ip.101.214.86.19) |
18:42.43 | Arthur_D | maybe, but maybe you didn't write a good application for your project and your ideas page is lackluster ;) |
18:43.11 | gevaerts | Oh, are those taken into consideration? Why wasn't I told? |
18:43.15 | Arthur_D | hehe |
18:44.13 | Arthur_D | I guess many more "useful" projects don't manage to come up with interesting ideas to work on for students |
18:44.50 | Arthur_D | or maybe we were just lucky |
18:45.55 | gevaerts | I'd say there are many quite important projects that don't actually have enough developers for something like gsoc |
18:46.01 | Arthur_D | true |
18:46.09 | Arthur_D | we barely made it |
18:46.21 | Arthur_D | a one or two-man project won't |
18:48.40 | Arthur_D | guess we just need more large corporations doing like Google so there's a chance for everybody ;) |
18:49.14 | gevaerts | Well, I don't think there should be a place for everybody |
18:49.15 | Arthur_D | Microsoft Spring of Code |
18:49.36 | gevaerts | You need the prospect of rejection to get decent applications |
18:49.44 | Arthur_D | true |

18:51.00 | Arthur_D | also I sort of imagine game projects attract lots of interest from those students lacking the skills to do advanced stuff. And then it turns out making games is pretty darn hard as well |
18:51.42 | |Kev| | Hmm. I don't think I've seen such a claim before. |
18:52.22 | Arthur_D | so the more prestigious important projects get less bad applications perhaps |
18:52.32 | Arthur_D | just an idea |
18:53.04 | Arthur_D | there's a lot of people underestimating what it takes to create a game |
18:53.58 | Arthur_D | while working on KDE probably seems a bit more daunting |
18:53.59 | |Kev| | There's a lot of people underestimating what it takes to do all sorts of things :) |
18:54.07 | Arthur_D | true :) |
18:54.41 | gevaerts | I sometimes underestimate the time it will take to make a proper too low estimate |
18:54.44 | |Kev| | I'm not sure I think of working on a game any more or less daunting than KDE. |
18:54.51 | Arthur_D | hehe |
18:55.09 | Arthur_D | we got about 80 applications last year |
18:55.27 | Arthur_D | and predictably most were pretty bad |
18:55.33 | |Kev| | What was your barrier to applications? |
18:55.34 | |Kev| | Teasers? |
18:55.38 | Arthur_D | very low |
18:55.39 | KristofDM | I know someone who worked on a game through gsoc last summer |

18:56.02 | Arthur_D | though we said that solving a ticket or otherwise creating a patch would increase their chances |
18:56.11 | |Kev| | I require that. |
18:56.19 | Arthur_D | this time around we will probably require that too |

18:58.44 | Arthur_D | and also didn't have any previous GSoC experience |
18:59.01 | Arthur_D | we certainly didn't expect the sheer numbers of students interested |

18:59.22 | Arthur_D | SuperTuxKart |
18:59.47 | KristofDM | Oh haha, then you might know the person I was talking about earlier |

19:00.24 | KristofDM | Correct! |
19:00.33 | KristofDM | He worked on the multiplayer lobby, right? |
19:00.36 | Arthur_D | yes |

19:05.41 | Arthur_D | we haven't regretted that choice for one second, too :) |
19:06.29 | Arthur_D | of course, we have rather limited amount of mentors so we can't ask for too many students either |
