00:11.06 | uxfi | at Google so yep |
00:11.12 | umccullough | well, fortunately GSoC has little to do with Google in the grand scheme of things |
00:11.21 | sttaylor | students work on coding, documentation, UI, bug fixes, research, outreach and training tasks |
00:11.26 | umccullough | they just sponsor it, and provide the money :) |
00:11.35 | uxfi | makes sense from all the ads they put out |
00:11.42 | uxfi | They're an ads comapny anyways |

00:14.59 | meflin | they can't mentor at that age |
00:15.02 | uxfi | Dont know how much he /she can help |
00:15.04 | uxfi | yep |
00:15.09 | sttaylor | meflin: well he can't be an official mentor, the rules for GSOC state they have to be 18 and older |
00:15.12 | MisterA | meflin: it depends on how early you start learning |
00:15.19 | meflin | that person is a co-developer so they could help alot |
00:15.35 | uxfi | co developer for what meflin ? |
00:15.36 | sttaylor | he can still come up with ideas and be an unofficial mentor but he can't register as a mentor if he's under 18, sorry |
00:15.45 | sttaylor | it's a legal thing |
00:15.46 | rlyshw | yeah I know Open source projects are exactly that, open. Sometimes it can be hard to get into without a structured program for guidance. |
00:15.52 | meflin | sttaylor: yes I know and understand :) |
00:16.11 | meflin | I was trying to point out to the students that you might be better then you think |
00:16.25 | uxfi | meflin: he can show his face here |
00:16.25 | MisterA | you can be a young kid and be a better programmer than someone older than you. In fact, it's almost certain if you've been doing it for a large portion of your life because it creates good habits and things like that |
00:16.27 | uxfi | when he's 18 |
00:16.35 | uxfi | yep MisterA |
00:16.43 | terri | You know, I totally understand that it can be hard to get started without a structured program.. but I suspect most mentors got started without it, so complaining to us that it's so difficult might not be the best way to garner sympathy. ;) |
00:16.48 | sttaylor | meflin: ah gotcha. I had many of the grand prize winners over the last 3 years who have wanted to be GCI mentors for other students but because they are still under 18 they couldn't |
00:16.56 | sttaylor | but it's great to see they want to give back |

00:57.01 | rlyshw | such is the FOSS way |
00:57.02 | sumanah | uxfi: Yes. We balance between person-to-person discussion and documentation that everyone can read, so we save time answering common questions but also get everyone the personal help they need. |
00:57.23 | uxfi | sure that sounds like the good kind of balance |
00:57.54 | sumanah | uxfi: When you are learning how to contribute in open source, you're going to find that people give you links to pages that answer your questions. Here's how that usually goes: |
00:57.54 | sumanah | 1. you ask a question |
00:57.55 | sumanah | 2. someone directs you to a document |
00:57.55 | sumanah | 3. you go read that document, try to use it to answer your question |
00:57.55 | sumanah | 4. you find you are confused about a new thing |
00:57.56 | sumanah | 5. you ask another question |
00:57.58 | sumanah | 6. now that you have shown that you have the ability to read, think, and learn new things, someone has a longer talk with you to answer your new specific question |
00:58.01 | sumanah | 7. you and the other person collaborate to improve the document that you read in step 3 :-) |
00:58.40 | sumanah | uxfi: For example, you now know that you should ask, in a public channel, whether you can private message with someone (example: "hey meflin, may I pm?") before initiating a private conversation with them. |
00:59.00 | uxfi | ah ok |
00:59.05 | meflin | and you should wait for a positive response |
00:59.10 | uxfi | sure |
00:59.13 | sumanah | Yes, meflin is right |
00:59.27 | uxfi | I've just heard of stories where people pm people and they are fine with it but I guess it depends on the eprson |
00:59.35 | sumanah | We understand that no one is born knowing this. But now that you have been told, if you make the same mistake again, we start to think you don't listen very well. |
00:59.36 | uxfi | person |
00:59.38 | uxfi | Agreed |
00:59.49 | uxfi | :) |

01:26.52 | emusan | but then, I'm an EE |
01:27.40 | MisterA | :P |
01:28.04 | skeith | Isn't that better? At least you love what you're doing. Would be bad if you don't. I've seen other people being forced into a degree program that they don't like and eventually failing. |
01:28.12 | skeith | But yeah. Circuits are awesome. :D |
01:28.42 | rlyshw | as an aspiring computer engineer, i hope to love circuits one day |
01:29.07 | rlyshw | that is, once i start comp engineer classes at a university in the fall |
01:29.08 | MisterA | emusan: in the digital electronics class I took in hs |
01:29.20 | MisterA | we had 1 professor who would walk around and spend 3/4ths of the class debugging peoples problems |
01:29.34 | MisterA | if you couldn't figure it out yourself, you had to wait a full class and you would fall behind drastically |
01:29.39 | terri | ok, escaping time for me, before I miss the next bus too. :) |
01:29.41 | skeith | Some professors do give too complicated problems to their students. |
01:29.51 | emusan | ah lol |
01:30.08 | MisterA | luckily for me, I managed to avoid falling behind until near the end of the semester at which point everyone was a full month behind me at least on schedule |
01:30.13 | rlyshw | MisterA: sounds like any vocational/shop class in high school |
01:30.35 | MisterA | that's the only experience i've had with circuits, so you can imagine why I feel the way I do lol |
01:30.37 | skeith | MisterA: Do you think you'd like it if it had been much simpler in the beginning? |
01:31.28 | MisterA | I didn't exactly dislike it itself, it was just very tedious because of how the class worked. I guess I should say I hated the class lol |
01:32.18 | skeith | Yeah. I do think that I'd like other things too had my experience with them been better in the past. Specifically, I don't really like writing that much and I've had bad grades in english during HS. |

01:40.17 | sumanah | groundnuty: I could imagine various factors going either way. :) On average I assume you have more programming experience than an undergrad, but maybe less free time over the summer? |
01:40.28 | sumanah | (depends on your program, country, etc etc etc) |
01:41.10 | sumanah | You've probably written essays and reports before, so you can actually write prose. And maybe you've had an advisor or mentor before and you kind of know how to manage that relationship and communicate frequently. Maybe. |
01:41.12 | TonyF | sumanah: Yes, I read it for a lot of time, but I just cannot find a very suitable one. |
01:41.13 | olly | groundnuty: just being a phd student probably isn't a big factor in many decisions, but my experience is phd students tend to write more coherent proposals |

02:04.44 | anth_x | anyone else seeing this? a result of google's 10-year ad campaign? |
02:05.04 | umccullough | it seems there are some spam-prevention tactics employed this year |
02:05.52 | olly | umccullough: yes, the source is on github |

02:22.28 | sumanah | groundnuty: If you have an unusual schedule and want to make it 4 10-hr days or 7 days at more like 5-6 hours each, that can work too |
02:22.41 | jjestrel | ^ I was going to ask about that |

02:23.03 | sumanah | one nice thing about this is that you can flex your time around in case you are taking care of elderly parents or your children or something like that |
02:23.03 | jjestrel | Is it generally acceptable to do 7day work week? |
02:23.25 | umccullough | jjestrel, some mentors might not be available 7 days ;) |
02:23.28 | sumanah | jjestrel: well, not 8 hours of work each day, 7 days per week! that's too much in my opinion |
02:23.53 | jjestrel | But doing the min mentor meeting/week requirement but stretching work over 7 days is alright? |
02:24.05 | sumanah | jjestrel: you should really talk to your org about this sort of thing. |
02:24.11 | umccullough | honestly, if it turns out you enjoy your project so much that you want to work day/night and weekends... |
02:24.13 | umccullough | go for it |
02:24.21 | umccullough | but get some rest |
02:24.29 | umccullough | and enjoy your life too :D |
02:24.31 | sumanah | also jjestrel talking with your mentor MORE OFTEN is a much better idea than trying to only get the minimum number of meetings. |
02:24.50 | sumanah | jjestrel: I often hear of people getting stuck, demoralized, etc. because of not talking enough with their mentors |
02:24.53 | jjestrel | sumanah: I meant it more as, so long as requirements are met then any work frequency is alright |
02:25.01 | umccullough | sure |
02:25.08 | sumanah | ah I understand now |
02:25.14 | umccullough | in the end, if you finish your project ahead of schedule, you're encouraged to find something else to work on :) |
02:25.30 | jjestrel | umccullough: And I prefer more sparse but frequent working. Otherwise I just get exhausted and become less productive :P |

02:35.03 | olly | sometimes even that's not required - i've seen a proposal from someone claiming "good python" but if when clicked the link to his blog he gave in the proposal, I could see the blog entry from 3 weeks earlier where he said he'd just started to play with python |
02:35.08 | mikefishr | I have a quick question about submitting proof of enrollment. My student ID doesn't show that I am currently enrolled, but has an expiration date of August 2017. Would that work? |
02:35.45 | meflin | mikefishr: if your doc isn't good enough you will be contacted |
02:35.49 | olly | mikefishr: do you see the "rather than ask questions" paragraph? |
02:36.05 | mikefishr | I read that, but still felt that I should |
02:36.09 | mikefishr | but w/e |
02:36.22 | mikefishr | Thanks for the help |
02:36.32 | olly | nobody here can answer |
02:36.37 | sumanah | groundnuty: organizations do the risk assessment they feel they need. Some more, some less. |
02:36.54 | anth_x | olly: (sorry obscured window) i'm seeing a difference even after filtering "junk". just people approaching more sophisticated topics. |
02:36.54 | olly | carols is the authority, but she tends to direct people to just send what they have |
02:37.07 | meflin | and each org filters students in there own ways |
02:37.08 | anth_x | anyway, it's very exciting. |

02:38.43 | olly | anth_x: we're seeing that too perhaps, but then we deliberately put some more theoretically based ideas on our list this year, as they seemed to be quite popular before |

10:03.06 | gsocbot | darnir: "multiaccept" is If multiple organizations want to accept you, they will decide which proposal is accepted. Sometimes, but not always, they will ask your preference. |
10:03.33 | darnir | Aah brilliant! Thanks olly |
10:03.50 | olly | gsocbot is full of obsolete factoids which are never triggered |
10:04.11 | olly | i've cleaned out some, but i bet there's loads more |

10:06.28 | darnir | That, IMO, shouldn't be the case. Because if you don't know the factoid, you'll end up teaching it with a new command. |
10:06.31 | olly | anyone can do it, but that doesn't mean everyone should |
10:06.48 | darnir | That's why I wait for kblin. |

12:13.34 | darnir | Turl, chakri: Yes. |
12:13.52 | chakri | so, why didn't I get any comment on my proposal, then? |
12:14.07 | darnir | Although, the system is currently broken and hence the mentors are not receiving the update emails. |
12:14.10 | chakri | probably they discarded, it? |
12:14.25 | darnir | It is supposed to be in place, it's broken. |
12:14.29 | chakri | so, what is my fate? |
12:14.45 | darnir | You can mail your mentors directly and ask for a review. |

19:23.51 | umccullough | uchihaitachi, if more than one org ends up accepting your proposal, they will have to discuss amongst themselves which one will get to choose you |
19:23.51 | stqism | Quality > Quanity |
19:24.09 | uchihaitachi | If, a student says like "this is my fourth priority", won't this affect the student? |
19:24.10 | stqism | Quantity, rather |
19:24.32 | stqism | uchihaitachi: Students don't set any priority stuff, I think |
19:24.38 | umccullough | uchihaitachi, it makes it sound like you don't necessarily want to work on that project - at least |
19:25.01 | uchihaitachi | Yes, that's the point I'm trying to make. |
19:25.13 | umccullough | why tell them which you'd rather have? |
19:25.30 | umccullough | just state that you're submitting multiple proposals, and let them figure out which you'd rather do |
19:25.39 | uchihaitachi | Because they're asking for it. |
19:25.45 | umccullough | eh |
19:26.08 | umccullough | well, that's a rule that the org specifies, so you'll have to take it up withthem |

19:29.33 | umccullough | you can certainly ask the org why they require it |
19:29.46 | umccullough | maybe they can provide a better answer than we can here |
19:30.30 | uchihaitachi | They gave the very same reason. |
19:30.30 | uchihaitachi | So as to resolve clashes |
19:30.46 | umccullough | so, then that is what you can expect them to use that information for |
19:30.52 | uchihaitachi | When a student is selected by more than one org |
19:31.02 | umccullough | if there is a clash, the "higher priority" will probably take precedence |
19:31.18 | umccullough | you could of course avoid the entire issue by not applying for more than one ;) |

20:57.33 | groundnuty | is it firday 'night' or friday morning? ;) |
20:57.38 | groundnuty | (sili question I know) |
20:57.39 | umccullough | in any case, whether you get feedback through the submission form or not, you still ahve to submit something by the deadline |
20:57.41 | carols | friday at 19:00 utc |
20:57.53 | umccullough | so, no reason to wait until the last minute |
20:57.59 | apsdehal | Hi, Kindly tell me when is mentor application deadline? |
20:58.11 | umccullough | apsdehal, it's in the timeline |
20:58.25 | carols | well, it depends on what apsdehal means |
20:58.41 | carols | mentors can sign up to be mentors for orgs anytime between now and september |
20:58.53 | umccullough | but they must be there by april 18th according to the timeline |
20:59.00 | kxra | so the proposal form is very open ended and doesn't provide a list of questions to make sure are answered |
20:59.12 | kxra | is there a good place to look at past accepted gsoc applications? |
20:59.16 | carols | umccullough: all students an org wants to accept must have a mentor assigned. that's different. |
20:59.25 | groundnuty | are there any proposals that were accepted in previous editions which one could study to get a fell of level of depth required? |
20:59.36 | wkoszek | carols: We have a Chinese speaking student who says he's having difficulty requesting English documents which confirm him being a student. I guess translation to English is one of the solutions? |
20:59.39 | carols | kxra: the best place to ask is with the org you're applying to |
20:59.42 | groundnuty | like exampled of very good proposals |
20:59.49 | umccullough | carols, then it should be clarified, because "All mentors must be signed up" sounds exactly like it says |
20:59.49 | carols | wkoszek: that's answered on the instructions |
20:59.57 | apsdehal | carols: So there is no fixed deadline for mentors? |

23:34.02 | chro | for doing a proposal |
23:34.32 | KolibriOS|yogev | chro: To submit a proposal, just proof of enrollment. If you are accepted, you will also have to sign some form. |
23:34.43 | medfly | chro: yep I just did it |
23:34.44 | arrdem | I see that .txt transcripts are listed as unacceptable. What would count as acceptable besides a scan of a paper transcript? |
23:34.47 | chro | ok, thanks |
23:34.54 | kainui | thanks |
23:35.54 | olly | arrdem: i direct you to the "rather than ask question" paragraph on the enrollment proof page: |
23:35.57 | olly | !proof | arrdem |
23:35.57 | gsocbot | arrdem: "proof" is http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2014/proofofenrollment |
23:36.35 | arrdem | olly: :P dfs option & examination is a sub-optimal strategy |
23:36.45 | arrdem | olly: thanks |
23:36.47 | olly | ? |
23:37.33 | chro | I scanned a letter from my university |
23:37.39 | chro | but the postmark is not visible |
23:37.46 | chro | because it is white |
23:38.02 | chro | is there any problem with that? |
23:38.25 | gevaerts | directs chro to what olly dirrected arrdem to |

23:39.34 | chro | gevaerts: that does not say anything about the authenticity of documents |
23:39.39 | olly | arrdem: i don't understand - DFS seem to make sofas |
23:40.01 | gevaerts | chro: it does |
23:40.02 | olly | chro: "Rather than ask questions [...]" |
23:40.02 | medfly | arrdem: I provided a .pdf of something my university provided. just through a "print this" and outputted a .pdf |
23:40.05 | medfly | arrdem: looks really fancy! |
23:40.13 | arrdem | olly: DFS Depth First Search as in I pondered each option in order and didn't read that far |
23:40.16 | chro | ok |
23:40.19 | olly | ah |
23:40.26 | arrdem | olly: I just PDF printed a class listing and uploaded that :P |
23:41.07 | olly | it seems it's less work for google to just check and ask if it's not good enough that to field a lot of questions up front |
23:41.08 | arrdem | medfly: someone has waaay to much fun designing University security paper... |
23:41.16 | olly | though it means we're having to field them sadly |
23:41.35 | medfly | arrdem: it also said you can provide a student ID |
23:41.46 | arrdem | medfly: UT Austin doesn't date their IDs :c |
23:42.02 | medfly | arrdem: I provided the super fancy PDF and that's that |
23:42.09 | medfly | my friends don't think Google cares, but that's their opinion |
23:42.16 | medfly | I could forge pretty much anything anyway |
23:42.20 | groundnuty | how common are the cases where people who get into projects are people who have worked with org. before and the whole process of subminit aplications is in fact setup in advance? |
23:42.33 | gevaerts | olly: it's especially bad I think with those students who basically are *always* in here but somehow manage to have missed the dozens of times these questions are asked |
23:42.34 | arrdem | raises a hand |
23:43.02 | arrdem | gavinatkinson: searching logs is hard :D |
23:43.17 | terri | groundnuty: I suspect if that's discovered it would be grounds for getting booted from the program, so probably not very common at all. |
23:43.58 | gevaerts | groundnuty: while that no doubt happens every now and then, I'm fairly sure for the vast majority of cases "known contributor" at *most* translates to "better chances" |
23:44.22 | terri | groundnuty: Students who do a lot of work with an org beforehand are better placed to write a great application, though. |
23:44.27 | gevaerts | That is, with the orgs where the main aim for gsoc isn't to find new people :) |
23:44.47 | groundnuty | terri: good to know :) I'm just spending a huge ammount of time to write the best proposal possible and it struck me that somone who get in touch with org few weeks ago... |

23:45.14 | groundnuty | might be simply already setup for the prject that I'm fighting for :( |
23:45.33 | arrdem | groundnuty: eh I don't think it's that harsh |
23:46.09 | medfly | damn, tax is a tricky topic. I'm afraid of horror stories of being taxed the highest bracket which will make any amount of money meaningless |
23:46.21 | arrdem | groundnuty: I mean I'll admit I contacted a couple people who are looking to host GSoC students and talked about their projects so that I could write a _better_ piece, but by no means does that ensure that I or anyone else who does so will get selected.. |
23:46.32 | olly | groundnuty: some orgs explicitly won't accept people already involved |
23:46.37 | olly | or set the bar higher for them |
23:47.10 | olly | gsoc is a way to gain new contributors after all |
23:48.18 | olly | that said, if someone started talking to the org weeks or even months ago, they're very likely to have a better proposal than yours |
23:48.26 | groundnuty | still its, difficult for me to imagine if someone get in touch with the org some time ago, talked with them, got to know them, wrote a good proposal, would not be picked even if there happend to be better proposal from some random guy |
23:48.38 | gevaerts | No |
23:49.03 | gevaerts | They'll just be more likely to have the better proposal |
23:49.22 | groundnuty | better is quite relative here I suppose |
23:49.24 | terri | and honestly, that's not even always true. sometimes the people who've been around a long time submit incredibly lazy proposals. ;) |
23:49.40 | gevaerts | I did say "more likely" for a reason :) |
23:50.00 | groundnuty | terri: and what will stop them from beeing accepted? its up tothe org anyway? |
23:50.20 | gevaerts | groundnuty: why would the org accept them? |
23:50.21 | terri | One thing you can do is make sure to talk to your mentors. if you're talking to them regularly, that gives them a chance to direct you to another project idea if they think that would be better for you. |
23:50.43 | olly | a lazy proposal from a known contributor would be a red flag to me |

23:50.58 | gevaerts | Would you prefer a proposal from someone you've known for a while and who has just shown they can't be bothered to write a good proposal? |
23:51.18 | olly | i'd worry they'd expect to just coast through gsoc, expecting we wouldn't fail someone we know well |
23:52.05 | gevaerts | I'd actually give back the slot rather than accept a lazy proposal, no matter who submitted it |
23:52.15 | olly | yeah |
23:52.59 | *** join/#gsoc jaspreet (0e8b5206@gateway/web/freenode/ip.14.139.82.6) |
23:53.01 | olly | we rejected a student in 2012 who'd done a successful project in 2011, but the 2012 proposal was decidedly lacklustre |
23:53.38 | olly | groundnuty: i'd focus on talking to the org and writing the best proposal you can in the time rather than worrying whether it's a waste of time or not |
23:53.51 | groundnuty | olly: thank you for reasuring words, I'm trying to find a monivation to write a very good poposal, despite the fact that I had little contact with the org so fat |
23:53.53 | groundnuty | *far |
23:54.24 | terri | groundnuty: the other thing that might be helpful to know: sometimes if we get two really amazing proposals for the same project, we'll find a way to divide it up between two students. so it's definitely not a bad thing to have multiple good proposals for a slot. |
23:54.43 | groundnuty | terri: that is motivating :) |
23:54.52 | gevaerts | groundnuty: also, remember that the proposal deadline is *not* the time of decision. There's some time after it too, in which you can prove what you're worth |
23:55.15 | gevaerts | You can't change the proposal any more then of course, but you *can* submit patches and things like that |
23:56.43 | terri | patches are also a great excuse to keep up regular contact with your mentors so you're first in their minds. ;) |
23:56.46 | olly | there's actually more time between the deadline and the time to make choices this year than usual |
23:56.52 | groundnuty | out of curiosiry, for how many projects does the average student aplay? |
23:57.05 | olly | 1.something |
23:57.07 | gevaerts | !numapps |
23:57.08 | gsocbot | gevaerts: "numapps" is In 2014, 190 of 371 mentoring orgs were accepted. 2013: 177/417 orgs; 4144 students submitted 5999 proposals, of which 1192 were accepted. 2012: 180/406 orgs; 1212/6685 proposals (by 4258 students). 2011: 175/417 orgs; 1116/5474 proposals (by 3731 students). 2010: 151/367 orgs; 1026/5539 proposals (by 3464 students) |

23:57.43 | gevaerts | Well, the reverse |
23:57.48 | groundnuty | so ~2 proposals per student |
23:57.52 | gevaerts | isn't good at this :) |
23:57.54 | arrdem | sounds about right |
23:58.06 | olly | groundnuty: um, < 1.5 actually |

23:58.53 | olly | the numbers before about 2012 (IIRC) will be skewed a bit as up to 20 proposals were allows (and quite a few students would just send the same proposal to 20 orgs) |
23:58.53 | gevaerts | groundnuty: around √2 :) |
23:58.56 | terri | last year there were only 5 allowed per student, right? I can't remember what year it switched from 20. |
23:59.10 | olly | this isn't the first year |
23:59.10 | gevaerts | It was definitely 5 last year |
