00:05.03Kevin-_-anyone know if the stipend happens before or after the summer?  Sounds like something I would want to do, but I saw something saying that you're expected to do this for 40+ hours a week and if so it'd be kind of difficult to have a job during it.

00:08.21uxfiOh ok np
00:08.33uxfiSomeone who said he was 14 applied here somehow if I recall
00:08.34Kevin-_-anyone do this last year, and was it worth it?  Did you enjoy it?
00:08.43umcculloughuxfi, that would probably have been GCI
00:08.45meflinuxfi: probably GCI
00:08.49uxfiGCI
00:08.50uxfi?
00:08.58nightscloud2its for younger people i believe
00:08.59meflingoogle code in for younger students
00:09.01uxfiah
00:09.07umcculloughright on the front of melange, you'll see it: http://www.google-melange.com/
00:09.07nightscloud2so inspiring to see these kids out here coding, its scary
00:09.08uxfiisnt that like Sugar?
00:09.33nightscloud2uxfi: :how old are you?
00:09.40umcculloughSugarlabs is a GCI org, if that's what you mean?
00:09.41uxfiI'm 18+

00:09.56uxfiSorry was just asking :)
00:10.23sttaylorGoogle Code-in is for 13-17 year old pre-university students
00:10.25meflinuxfi: gsoc time then i;)
00:10.40uxfiI see
00:10.41sttaylorthe 2014 contest will begin late this year
00:10.51uxfiIm not a big fan of Google but I'll see what they got
00:11.01uxfiOne of my freinds is a software engineer
00:11.06uxfiat Google so yep
00:11.12umcculloughwell, fortunately GSoC has little to do with Google in  the grand scheme of things
00:11.21sttaylorstudents work on coding, documentation, UI, bug fixes, research, outreach and training tasks
00:11.26umcculloughthey just sponsor it, and provide the money :)
00:11.35uxfimakes sense from all the ads they put out
00:11.42uxfiThey're an ads comapny anyways
00:12.25uxfiAre any of you googe employees?
00:12.30uxfiNot sure if that is minded here :P
00:12.41umcculloughi suspect most of the ops are
00:12.41uxfiI'll give this GSOC a shot later :)
00:12.44uxfiah
00:12.45rlyshwwish i knew about code-in last year, would have provided me with more experience and confidence for gsoc this year xD
00:13.53umcculloughrlyshw, really you could get involved with FOSS orgs any time, you don't have to wait for a google-sponsored event :)
00:13.55sttaylorrlyshw: exactly, many students start with Code-in and get a huge confidence boost and are often much more successful when applying for GSoC

00:14.13umcculloughwe see high school kids in our IRC channel submitting patches every once in a while
00:14.22uxfier umccullough  too
00:14.29uxfiactaully umccullough  mind a pm ?
00:14.34uxfisttaylor:  is too busy helping :P
00:14.42meflinI recruited a mentor that isn't yet 18 :P
00:14.50uxfimeflin:  wow.
00:14.59meflinthey can't mentor at that age
00:15.02uxfiDont know how much he /she can help
00:15.04uxfiyep
00:15.09sttaylormeflin: well he can't be an official mentor, the rules for GSOC state they have to be 18 and older
00:15.12MisterAmeflin: it depends on how early you start learning
00:15.19meflinthat person is a co-developer so they could help alot
00:15.35uxfico developer for what meflin  ?
00:15.36sttaylorhe 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
00:15.45sttaylorit's a legal thing
00:15.46rlyshwyeah I know Open source projects are exactly that, open. Sometimes it can be hard to get into without a structured program for guidance.
00:15.52meflinsttaylor: yes I know and understand :)
00:16.11meflinI was trying to point out to the students that you might be better then you think
00:16.25uxfimeflin:  he can show his face here
00:16.25MisterAyou 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
00:16.27uxfiwhen he's 18
00:16.35uxfiyep MisterA
00:16.43terriYou 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. ;)
00:16.48sttaylormeflin: 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
00:16.56sttaylorbut it's great to see they want to give back
00:17.18nightscloud2Is applying to say....20+ different organizations a bad idea?

00:17.48nightscloud2oh...ok
00:17.50ollynightscloud2: it's a terrible idea even if you could
00:17.52nightscloud2so thats out
00:17.53meflinits also a very bad idea
00:17.58terriand, to be honest, we make fun of people who apply to a huge number of orgs.
00:18.06olly1 or 2 good proposals beats 5 (or 20+) poor ones
00:18.10nightscloud2ok thanks
00:18.40nightscloud2i tend to be a quantity of quality type of guy, but im seeing thats not the culture here
00:18.52nightscloud2over*
00:19.25ollynot sure about the culture, but it won't land you a place
00:19.40ollyyou're up against a lot of students who spend a lot of time on one proposal

00:22.26terrinightscloud2: one of the things many orgs look for is students who they're sure will stick around and commit to them, since one of the most common ways we lose students is by them disappearing and thus failing to do the work.
00:23.46terrinightscloud2: So in general, scattershot applications tend to not look as good as the ones where the student has spent more time with one or two orgs

00:24.29ollywe've 8 apps so far - the weakest is from a student who applied to 3 other orgs, and they haven't responded to comments at all
00:24.55terrinightscloud2: Unlike companies, we can't just choose to hire a new student intern if someone disappears; we lose the slot and the funding if we choose the wrong student.

00:41.52ollythere's always a last minute surge
00:43.22terriI do wonder how much of a surge we'll get tihs year
00:43.32umcculloughit seems this year has been a little slow
00:43.41umcculloughdrastic schedule change i think
00:43.42terriI think a lot of folk who wait 'till the last minute will get caught by the proof of enrollment thing
00:43.51meflinI've been seeing that from other orgs as well
00:44.22sumanahterri: I agree.
00:44.48terriright now we're maybe a dozen apps short of our final number from last year, if I recall correctly.
00:44.50ollythe total junk is non-existent so far though, which is nice
00:45.22jjestrelterri: It seems like I waited until the last minute but I managed to get my proof of enrollment done
00:45.54terriyeah, aside from the MDO kid, I haven't seen much in the way of spam applications.
00:45.56sumanahSome college administrations are a little less forthcoming with certain bits of paperwork on short notice
00:46.06sumanahWell, part of being a student is learning things via unpleasant lessons sometimes. I know I did
00:46.36terriyeah, i talked to someone yesterday whose college has an admin strike going on 'till a few days after the deadline, at best.
00:48.16Kevin-_-ah ok, still debating on this or research
00:50.34Kevin-_-Right now I'm torn between boost and the machine learning library
00:51.25Kevin-_-boost's site was looking for people who do algorithm design like Radix Sorts, parallel algorithms and string theory stuff.  All of which I've done so they're winning so far.

00:53.21uxfisumanah:  you're a mentor?
00:53.25uxfior a student of GSOC?
00:53.59sumanahIn the past, uxfi, I've been a GSoC org admin and a GSoC mentor. Currently I'm mentoring for a different open source internship program.
00:54.08sumanahuxfi: How is your open source journey going? Can we help with anything?
00:54.49uxfisumanah:  I havnet started
00:54.54uxfiNot sure If I will this year
00:54.55meflinuxfi: seems to want talk about being indian with just about everyone here
00:54.57uxfi:)
00:55.03uxfihehe
00:55.10uxfiBut I'll read up on GSOC
00:55.11uxfi:)
00:55.11sumanahuxfi: Do you need help making your decision?
00:55.20uxfisumanah:  Perhaps :). I will ask
00:55.25uxfiI am aware there are many different orgs
00:55.26sumanahOK.
00:55.32uxfiThanks though
00:55.33uxfi:)
00:55.48meflinnow why do you not STOP pming people without there permission like I warned you about
00:56.17jkridnerjust saw http://opensource.com/life/14/3/google-summer-code-2014

00:56.30uxfiSorry meflin I said excuse me before I started a conversation

00:56.42*** join/#gsoc zqzas (~zqzas@140.207.196.4)
00:56.45uxfiAlot of manuals :P
00:57.01rlyshwsuch is the FOSS way
00:57.02sumanahuxfi: 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.
00:57.23uxfisure that sounds like the good kind of balance
00:57.54sumanahuxfi: 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:
00:57.54sumanah1.    you ask a question
00:57.55sumanah2.     someone directs you to a document
00:57.55sumanah3.     you go read that document, try to use it to answer your question
00:57.55sumanah4.     you find you are confused about a new thing
00:57.56sumanah5.     you ask another question
00:57.58sumanah6.     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
00:58.01sumanah7.     you and the other person collaborate to improve the document that you read in step 3 :-)
00:58.40sumanahuxfi: 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.
00:59.00uxfiah ok
00:59.05meflinand you should wait for a positive response
00:59.10uxfisure
00:59.13sumanahYes, meflin is right
00:59.27uxfiI've just heard of stories where people pm people and they are fine with it but I guess it depends on the eprson
00:59.35sumanahWe 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.
00:59.36uxfiperson
00:59.38uxfiAgreed
00:59.49uxfi:)
00:59.57sumanahSome people are fine with rude behavior, but it's safer to follow courtesy rules.
00:59.59umcculloughmost of us are here to help students, there's really nothing inherently private about it
01:00.17uxfiyup
01:00.57sumanahKevin-_-: good luck in your choice :-) both sound like interesting things to work on

01:06.15emusanwould it be okay to submit an "unoffical advising transcript" as proof of enrollment? Or do I need to do a request of an official one ?
01:06.45sumanahemusan: so, basically, you submit what you have as proof, and then submit your proposal. If Google needs you to get something more formal, they'll email you to ask
01:06.47sumanah!proof | emusan
01:06.48gsocbotemusan: "proof" is http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2014/proofofenrollment
01:06.51terriemusan: submit the unofficial one; if they need an official one they'll ask.
01:07.19emusanokay, thanks!
01:07.53sumanahHey terri - I asked my internship applicant to look at http://blog.melchua.com/2013/06/19/hacker-school-session-engineering-learning-styles/ and reflect on her own learning styles, and she DID, and now I know how to teach her better, and I'm happy. Figured you would be happy too :)

01:27.40MisterA:P
01:28.04skeithIsn'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.
01:28.12skeithBut yeah. Circuits are awesome. :D
01:28.42rlyshwas an aspiring computer engineer, i hope to love circuits one day
01:29.07rlyshwthat is, once i start comp engineer classes at a university in the fall
01:29.08MisterAemusan: in the digital electronics class I took in hs
01:29.20MisterAwe had 1 professor who would walk around and spend 3/4ths of the class debugging peoples problems
01:29.34MisterAif you couldn't figure it out yourself, you had to wait a full class and you would fall behind drastically
01:29.39terriok, escaping time for me, before I miss the next bus too. :)
01:29.41skeithSome professors do give too complicated problems to their students.
01:29.51emusanah lol
01:30.08MisterAluckily 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
01:30.13rlyshwMisterA: sounds like any vocational/shop class in high school
01:30.35MisterAthat's the only experience i've had with circuits, so you can imagine why I feel the way I do lol
01:30.37skeithMisterA: Do you think you'd like it if it had been much simpler in the beginning?
01:31.28MisterAI 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

01:41.13ollygroundnuty: 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

02:14.07sumanahgroundnuty: yeah, our application requirements include a microtask, such as fixing a small bug in our codebase (we provide a list of easy bugs)

02:22.15umcculloughbut be honest
02:22.28sumanahgroundnuty: 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

02:23.25umcculloughjjestrel, some mentors might not be available 7 days ;)
02:23.28sumanahjjestrel: well, not 8 hours of work each day, 7 days per week! that's too much in my opinion
02:23.53jjestrelBut doing the min mentor meeting/week requirement but stretching work over 7 days is alright?
02:24.05sumanahjjestrel: you should really talk to your org about this sort of thing.
02:24.11umcculloughhonestly, if it turns out you enjoy your project so much that you want to work day/night and weekends...

02:25.01umcculloughsure
02:25.08sumanahah I understand now
02:25.14umcculloughin the end, if you finish your project ahead of schedule, you're encouraged to find something else to work on :)

04:25.01ollyif your proposal isn't good, it'll be irrelevant if your enrollment docs aren't suitable
04:25.12umcculloughlikely, someone from google will contact you if it's an issue

10:03.33darnirAah brilliant! Thanks olly
10:03.50ollygsocbot is full of obsolete factoids which are never triggered
10:04.11ollyi've cleaned out some, but i bet there's loads more

10:06.28darnirThat, IMO, shouldn't be the case. Because if you don't know the factoid, you'll end up teaching it with a new command.
10:06.31ollyanyone can do it, but that doesn't mean everyone should
10:06.48darnirThat's why I wait for kblin.
10:07.07ollyyou can search for factoids in query, though it's a bit painful

12:14.25darnirIt is supposed to be in place, it's broken.

12:21.33darnirI *never* write public comments on proposals. Those are usually left for mailing list discussions. /IF/ the student bothers to initiate one asking for comments.

13:34.35sumanahI think it's especially interesting that students *who have mentors* will do this. I think their mental model of what a mentor is includes "advisor on the technical aspects of the project" but not "person it's safe to ask logistical, panicked, naive, or otherwise nontechnical questions of"
13:34.46darnirsumanah: I don't think there's many people who simply volunteer answers here without being students or mentors.

13:41.19sumanahI should say that my name is South Asian -- I mean, 1947 wasn't really that long ago, and probably Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi, and Pakistani students would also find my name vaguely familiar.

19:17.16dfighterI for example have never pretended anything of the sorts for example, I've been contributing to various open source projects since 2008
19:17.19l0rd_hexso, I'm going to be writing my first proposal ever, from my understanding it's basically a paragraph of what I would see myself doing, my skills, etc?

19:23.51umcculloughuchihaitachi, if more than one org ends up accepting your proposal, they will have to discuss amongst themselves which one will get to choose you
19:23.51stqismQuality > Quanity
19:24.09uchihaitachiIf, a student says like "this is my fourth priority", won't this affect the student?

19:24.32stqismuchihaitachi: Students don't set any priority stuff, I think
19:24.38umcculloughuchihaitachi, it makes it sound like you don't necessarily want to work on that project - at least
19:25.01uchihaitachiYes, that's the point I'm trying to make.
19:25.13umcculloughwhy tell them which you'd rather have?
19:25.30umcculloughjust state that you're submitting multiple proposals, and let them figure out which you'd rather do
19:25.39uchihaitachiBecause they're asking for it.
19:25.45umccullougheh
19:26.08umcculloughwell, that's a rule that the org specifies, so you'll have to take it up withthem

19:29.33umcculloughyou can certainly ask the org why they require it
19:29.46umcculloughmaybe they can provide a better answer than we can here
19:30.30uchihaitachiThey gave the very same reason.
19:30.30uchihaitachiSo as to resolve clashes
19:30.46umcculloughso, then that is what you can expect them to use that information for

19:31.02umcculloughif there is a clash, the "higher priority" will probably take precedence

20:28.12gsocbotcarols: "slots" is (#1) Slot allocation is done manually by Chris DiBona and Carol Smith, be a good org, play nice on the mentor list and #gsoc, ask for a non-crazy-high number of slots, and you'll probably get what you ask. Note that non-crazy-high for new orgs is around 1 or 2., or (#2) http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2014/studentallocations

20:32.39mwilkes|workcarols: Glad to hear number of accepted proposals isn't a factor. It's gonna be hard this year.
20:32.44carolsrvraghav93: yes
20:32.59carolsmwilkes|work: what's going to be hard? choosing?
20:33.07rvraghav93if we make some edits and submit the proposal again ... will the mentors be notified ??
20:33.21carolsrvraghav93: i don't know, did you ask the #melange developers?
20:33.30carolsi don't know the features of the system, i didn't make it :-)
20:33.47mwilkes|workcarols: Fewer applicants than usual and fewer of those with detailed applications

20:37.31carolsPulkoMandy: well, if this is the worst we get for this year, we're doing pretty well
20:37.36mwilkes|workQuite!
20:37.51PulkoMandyyes - not much applications for us either, however
20:38.01PulkoMandylet's see if we get some good ones tomorrow (I guess not?)
20:38.18carolsthis is why I'm so surprised by orgs wanting to know their slot allocations before student proposals...

20:38.34carolslike, how would you know how many slots you even want if you haven't seen how many proposals you actually want to accept?
20:38.39*** join/#gsoc mmadia (~mmadia@pdpc/supporter/active/mmadia)
20:39.09mwilkes|workcarols: You know us orgs, we like to be in a position of giving up slots rather than hoping for them. It's always hard picking the range to ask for
20:39.29carolsmwilkes|work: well, at least there is a range now. when i started we didn't even have that :-)
20:39.43terricarols: I wonder that regularly when the sub-orgs ask me, and I'm sure they wonder when their prospective students ask them... ;)
20:39.53carolsterri: yeah :-)
20:40.12hellercarols: it's just so i know our options ;)
20:40.13mwilkes|workcarols: I know! The minimum one is harder than perfect world, too
20:40.31carolsmwilkes|work: well, i'd rather you picked it than i just chose a number at random ;-)
20:40.56mwilkes|workIndeed. Your random number generator is probably biased
20:41.08carolsi don't have a random number generator, that's the thing
20:41.31mwilkes|workcarols: I thought that you did, but it prefered 0
20:41.53carolsmwilkes|work: ah, yes, well, for orgs that don't fill in their slot requests it defaults to 0
20:41.56carolsthat's correct
20:43.43PulkoMandywe can give a maximum number before getting any student application, then lower it later - but maybe that wouldn't help anyone
20:44.00carolsPulkoMandy: it's not that it helps or hurts. it just doesn't matter.
20:44.14carolsit's just you putting in numbers that no one is looking at :-)

20:57.59apsdehalHi, Kindly tell me when is mentor application deadline?
20:58.11umcculloughapsdehal, it's in the timeline
20:58.25carolswell, it depends on what apsdehal means
20:58.41carolsmentors can sign up to be mentors for orgs anytime between now and september
20:58.53umcculloughbut they must be there by april 18th according to the timeline
20:59.00kxraso the proposal form is very open ended and doesn't provide a list of questions to make sure are answered
20:59.12kxrais there a good place to look at past accepted gsoc applications?
20:59.16carolsumccullough: all students an org wants to accept must have a mentor assigned. that's different.
20:59.25groundnutyare there any proposals that were accepted in previous editions which one could study to get a fell of level of depth required?
20:59.36wkoszekcarols: 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?
20:59.39carolskxra: the best place to ask is with the org you're applying to
20:59.42groundnutylike exampled of very good proposals
20:59.49umcculloughcarols, then it should be clarified, because "All mentors must be signed up" sounds exactly like it says

23:06.43gsocbotkainui: "odds" is Odds, chances or probability really do not come into play for GSoC. Rambling off numbers or asking What are the odds of getting accepted... is really quite useless as one's acceptance is not dictated by luck or numbers, but by the quality of your proposal and your skills instead.

23:42.09medflymy friends don't think Google cares, but that's their opinion
23:42.16medflyI could forge pretty much anything anyway
23:42.20groundnutyhow 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?
23:42.33gevaertsolly: 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
23:42.34arrdemraises a hand
23:43.02arrdemgavinatkinson: searching logs is hard :D
23:43.17terrigroundnuty: I suspect if that's discovered it would be grounds for getting booted from the program, so probably not very common at all.
23:43.58gevaertsgroundnuty: 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"
23:44.22terrigroundnuty: Students who do a lot of work with an org beforehand are better placed to write a great application, though.
23:44.27gevaertsThat is, with the orgs where the main aim for gsoc isn't to find new people :)
23:44.47groundnutyterri: 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...

23:46.09medflydamn, 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
23:46.21arrdemgroundnuty: 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..
23:46.32ollygroundnuty: some orgs explicitly won't accept people already involved
23:46.37ollyor set the bar higher for them
23:47.10ollygsoc is a way to gain new contributors after all
23:48.18ollythat said, if someone started talking to the org weeks or even months ago, they're very likely to have a better proposal than yours
23:48.26groundnutystill 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
23:48.38gevaertsNo
23:49.03gevaertsThey'll just be more likely to have the better proposal
23:49.22groundnutybetter is quite relative here I suppose
23:49.24terriand honestly, that's not even always true.  sometimes the people who've been around a long time submit incredibly lazy proposals. ;)
23:49.40gevaertsI did say "more likely" for a reason :)
23:50.00groundnutyterri: and what will stop them from beeing accepted? its up tothe org anyway?
23:50.20gevaertsgroundnuty: why would the org accept them?
23:50.21terriOne 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.

23:53.38ollygroundnuty: 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
23:53.51groundnutyolly: 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
23:53.53groundnuty*far
23:54.24terrigroundnuty: 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.
23:54.43groundnutyterri: that is motivating :)
23:54.52gevaertsgroundnuty: 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
23:55.15gevaertsYou can't change the proposal any more then of course, but you *can* submit patches and things like that
23:56.43terripatches are also a great excuse to keep up regular contact with your mentors so you're first in their minds. ;)
