18:44.08dg7any java programmers in here?
18:46.19carolsdg7: you’re more likely to find folks that you’re looking for if you go to the organization’s channel that you want to work with and talk to their community. or, if you really only care about java, you can sort the gsoc 2014 orgs list by tags like “java” and find the organizations working in that field. this channel is just a general channel for the program, it specifically not specific to a topic or org.

18:57.33SlurpeeWe have been organizing tasks and mentors throughout the year. This year we're a bit smarter and started organizing our task ideas in a csv spreadsheet that is already to import into Melange.
18:59.07SlurpeePerfect timing too. Drupal 8.0.0 beta 1 was released last week. We can use all the help possible over the next few months.

19:05.33NikolaiToryzincarols, So if I'm getting CGI, we submit tasks that students accept and try to complete, right?
19:05.49umcculloughthat sounds more like GCI ;)
19:05.49carolsNikolaiToryzin: i don’t know, it’s not my program. :-) you should ask sttaylor
19:06.02NikolaiToryzinGotcha :)
19:06.06carolsi can only care about so many things at once :-)
19:06.12NikolaiToryzinI took you as a magical jack of all trades :P
19:06.17carolswell, thank you.
19:06.21carolsbut i am still human
19:06.25carolsand only have 8 hours in the day
19:06.34sttaylorSlurpee: that is very smart to add task ideas throughout the year- that's what I encourage all orgs to do : )
19:07.22umcculloughwe usually carve out a bunch of items in our bug tracker as GCI candidates
19:07.47NikolaiToryzinWould be fun to grab a couple easier Tox tasks and shoot those as items
19:07.49sttaylorNikolaiToryzin: for GCI the orgs create tasks in different categories and students look for tasks that interst them and claim them and work on them
19:07.50Slurpeesttaylor, it truly helps. We feel much more prepared than last year. Plus we did a few presentations at our internal conferences/camps/cons to spark mentor interest.
19:08.39bkuhnIt would be funny if a student in GCI wrote CGIs.  But I guess no one writes CGIs anymore  (at least not in the old way they used to. ;)
19:08.40Slurpeeumccullough, that is a pretty good idea. Do you have a specific queue for gci/gsoc tasks or simply tag them gci/gsoc? Maybe a link to help?   We decided to go with a Google Drive spreadsheet that anyone can contribute to.
19:09.16bkuhnsuspects that many students who are in GCI weren't alive when CGIs was the common way to develop web applications. ;)
19:09.22umcculloughSlurpee, sometimes they get tagged throughout the year with a "gci" keyword, but usually we just have a short hunting expedition before GCI starts
19:10.07Slurpeesttaylor, I'm going over GCI Events and Timeline, but I don't see a specific deadline time to post application on Nov 10th?
19:10.19umcculloughsince we're an operating system, with our own packaging solution, we also have a list of "ports that need recipes" to give out at GCI
19:10.26SlurpeeSame with October 27th, there isn't a time listed that application will open.
19:11.05NikolaiToryzinumccullough, Funny, I had a dozen packaging related things that needed to get done
19:11.32umcculloughNikolaiToryzin, yeah, those make good tasks, as they usually aren't very complicated, just need someone to learn, understand, and finish the work
19:11.59umcculloughit's a great way to introduce students to project tasks too
19:12.21umcculloughand some packaging is more complicated, so the students who pick it up can work on the harder ones
19:13.13NikolaiToryzinYup! We've got a ton of clients and packages all over the place that need either packing or fixing
19:13.20NikolaiToryzinNot too hard
19:13.23NikolaiToryzinJust takes some time

19:15.51umcculloughI will caution anyone thinking of participating in GCI - it's a LOT more work and handholding than GSoC
19:16.43umcculloughand you'll need mentors who 1) have a lot of free time day to day, and 2) who have a lot of patience
19:17.19umcculloughi can't stress the patience enough though - some of these kids will get on your nerves ;)

19:42.44bkuhnI try not to be all "old dude" to people, but one thing I would tell you is the opportunities you have today to get involved with Free Software are much easier and better than we had when we were your age. ;)
19:42.52bkuhnDefinitely appreciate things like GCI and GSoC.
19:43.00meflinthat is very true
19:43.03bkuhnNothing of its like existed at all when we were getting involved.
19:43.27meflinfewer projects, and a bit more stuffy back then as well
19:43.41bkuhnI almost cry to think about how wonderful it would have been if GSoC had existed when I was in university.
19:44.04bkuhnmeflin: the worst part for me was I never got heavily involved because there was no mentoring like we have in GSoC.
19:44.13bkuhnMy patches would always get rejected, I just thought I was no good.
19:44.21bkuhnThere was no one around to tell me how to fix my patches so I could get involved.
19:44.44meflinI got lucky on that .. my first job was a training company ( mostly nix and mostly programing )

20:57.32Slurpeemeflin, RE: specific type of mentors - basically...you were the "go to person regarding questions about setting up dev env"?
20:57.39meflinyep
20:58.18Slurpeemeflin, I could see that being very helpful. How did they contact you? issue queue? Wait for you on irc?
20:58.28meflinirc
20:58.55meflinmain contact medium for the project and I live here especially while at work
20:59.00SlurpeeGood idea.
21:00.05meflinmy work has a few weird ideas about "work" ... like gsoc is work
21:00.17SlurpeeMaybe we could setup a weekly meeting for "Ask dev evn questions"
21:00.19carolsmeflin: my work has the same idea
21:00.27meflinheh
21:00.41meflinwell unless there is an emergency of course
21:01.19somaenWould it be ok to ask on the mailing list about a thing like I mentioned then? (Basically some way of SOs getting in touch to have something to do while the summit is going on)?
21:01.42carolssomaen: that’s what the gsoc mentor summit meetups list is for
21:01.46carolsso you don’t have to use the mentors list
21:01.56somaenAh, right, ok.

21:21.33curious__Hello!! I'm pretty new here and want to participate in gsoc 2015
21:23.18carolscurious__: sure, how can we help you?
21:24.30curious__I want to know how can I choose the company I want to work for
21:25.13curious__I wok in java mostly and I'm Learning python now
21:25.14meflinno idea ... my gsoc org's are not companys
21:25.20meflinand its python
21:25.44meflinorganizations are not always companys
21:26.00curious__Ohh I get it
21:26.47meflinfirst figure out what you like ... check the last years list ... find something you will enjoy and just get involved
21:27.07curious__Are all organisations that participated last year will participate this year also
21:27.12meflinno
21:27.19meflinbut it doesn't mater :)
21:27.30meflinthe experience will give you a leg up
21:27.38curious__Ok
21:27.58curious__Which organisation are you from??
21:28.13meflinme? SyncDifferent and Python
21:28.26meflinthat leaves 100+ other org's
21:28.39meflinand some will go and some will come in
21:28.50carolscurious__: the best way to choose an organization is to think about the sorts of things you’re interested in and like doing and then find an org that aligns with those values
21:29.10meflinexactly
21:29.13curious__Can you give me links where I should start if I were applying for your organisations
21:29.55meflinhttps://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014
21:30.07meflinall the orgs from last year are there ... you can search by tags
21:30.13bkuhncurious__: volunteering *now* to contribute to projects from any of the orgs in a previous years' GSoC will look good on an application to whatever org you ultimately choose.
21:30.15curious__Ok
21:30.43*** join/#gsoc fhthn (6f5d0646@gateway/web/freenode/ip.111.93.6.70)
21:30.52bkuhnDocumented Free Software development experience will always look good on a GSoC application.
21:30.57bkuhn(no matter the project)
21:31.03curious__Ok
21:32.27curious__One more question, do you Change these nicknames?? I mean like if I want to talk to you guys again.
21:32.56fhthndo the mentoring organizations release a list of projects which we can apply for?
21:33.09bkuhncurious__: Most of us use the same nick names and reigster them with freenode.
21:33.11meflinnicknames can change but often do not
21:33.12bkuhnBut that's not always true.
21:33.29bkuhnif you are going to use IRC a lot, I recommend that you register a nickname with NickServ on freenode as well.
21:33.57bkuhnfhthn: yes, each mentoring org has its own list of projects, but probably won't be fully available until just before the Mentoring org application deadline. :)
21:34.13fhthnk...
21:34.40curious__Ok. Thank you! I'll come back again after I work up your suggestions a bit.
21:35.14fhthnbut then what if i have some of my own ideas... can i apply with those?
21:36.03*** join/#gsoc curious__ (~curious@182.48.234.210)
21:36.04carolsfhthn: sure, most orgs allow “blue sky” proposals as part of their ideas page. however, even if you know you want to submit a blue sky proposal you’ll want to work closely with the org first to see what would make the most sense to propose.
21:36.42carolsso again, you should first volunteer with an org to get to know them, the community, and help out and learn more about them
21:37.52bkuhnhasn't even though about what to put on Conservancy's project list yet.
21:38.55fhthnif i have contributed to some open source community, but then i apply to some other mentor, do they consider our contribution?
21:39.42carolsfhthn: you mean you apply to work on a different project than the one you’ve been contributing to within the same organization?
21:39.58carolsor you mean for an entirely different organization?
21:40.13fhthnentirely different organization
21:40.31carolssure, any experience contributing to an open source org is good experience.
21:40.38carolshow much they’ll weight that is up to them.
21:41.18fhthnhas vlc ever been associated with gsoc?
21:41.27carolsyes
21:41.58bkuhnfhthn: all the prior GSoC orgs are available online, so you can look at all the lists yourself and find what projects have and haven't been involved and when.
21:42.30fhthnk... thanks a lot :)
21:42.37carolscheers

21:53.01earthling11Hey,wanna be part of gsoc 15.How do I contact individual organizations
21:53.52carolsearthling11: you’ll need to find the contact information for the org you’d like to volunteer for on their website
21:54.45earthling11So will they take my interview or something?
21:56.12carolsearthling11: interview? no. for now you would just volunteer. at some point during student applications _if_ the org chooses to do interviews with their applicants you may have an interview, but i’d say that’s a long way off and only a slight possibility

23:42.30ValodimI am baffled on a regular basis how many "hey guys I would like to volunteer, where do I start?" mails we get on our project's mailing list
23:43.28ollydoes your project have a "how to get started with hacking on <project>" document?
23:43.46nir_Valodim are you a mentor

23:44.58NikolaiToryzinThat shit is stressful
23:45.09NikolaiToryzinApplicants*
23:45.10nir_if you don't mind, then can help me with gsoc
23:45.10Valodimnone of them ever contributed a single pull request or even commit
23:45.16NikolaiToryzin:P
23:45.19nir_*can you
23:45.24Valodimnot once
23:45.34Valodimmay through august, we got about one of these per week
23:45.39NikolaiToryzinWe managed to get it down to a dozen
23:46.23Valodimand we tried in the beginning, we kept lists of "simple one-patch" issues, took the time to answer their mails
23:46.54umcculloughValodim, the nature of FOSS i think is having lots of people who *want* to help, but are incapable of doing so :(

23:48.53Valodimdoes it work for you?
23:50.19nir_Valodim can you help me
23:50.35Valodimnir_: there isn't much I can tell you that hasn't been said before on this channel (although I don't know when you joined)
23:50.52umcculloughValodim, it's hard to say, i don't track people who we point there to see if they followed up with patches

23:52.26NikolaiToryzinnir_, Find something that's open source and you use
23:53.00umcculloughindeed, pick a project, and start contributing :)
23:53.18umcculloughi dare say that's how most of us probably started
23:53.27Valodimgsoc advice in a nutshell: find a project you are genuinely(!!) interested in, and contribute. ask for some pointers where to start, find some part of the project you feel comfortable working on, and just do it.
23:53.37nir_i don't know where to start :P
23:53.50umcculloughpick a project?
23:53.54nir_ok
23:53.55Valodimif you can't get a patch/pull request in in a matter of a couple of weeks, the project is probably not for you
23:53.57nir_thanks
23:54.36umcculloughif you're interested in gsoc specific projects, you can look through the 2014 project list for some ideas
23:54.38Valodimit's okay to ask for help, but make sure you are able to do significant work on it independently
23:55.39nir_hmm
23:56.01Valodimbefore you approach an organizaton, get some basic knowledge about the codebase
23:56.22Valodimmake sure you can compile it
23:56.57NikolaiToryzinThat's an understatement
23:58.12Valodimat this point I'd be happy if people just did that before asking where to start contributing
