00:03.34olivierbWondering how this works. Suppose we request X number of slots, and only X minus 2  is allocated. Who decides which of the X students/proposals will be accepted? Google? Org? Both?
00:04.16ollythe org does
00:04.38olivierbcool thanks!
00:05.06ollygoogle don't really have a useful basis to choose students on
00:11.03olivierbyeah, I figured ... But was wondering the point (if any) of submitting more proposals than slots we can reasonably expect, and make sure we can still choose after.  Seems there's nothing wrong with that
00:11.45ollynot sure I follow, the org doesn't submit proposals
00:11.52ollyyou just give google two numbers

00:25.19ollythey don't say a lot about how they allocate - it's possible they look at proposals, but they clearly can't read them all in detail just from thinking about the time it would take
00:26.22ollyI don't work for them, but I think in their shoes I might look through the proposals in cases which look odd - e.g. if an org requests as many slots as they have proposals
00:27.40ollyyou haven't marked which proposals you'd select at that point though (unless the workflow is different this year)
00:28.43olivierbyeah makes sense

01:15.04valoriewow, so many students making their drafts "view only"
01:15.07valoriewhat up with that
01:16.43ollyvalorie: only had 20% doing that so far

01:49.42gsdevI'm not seeing anywhere how much a mentor gets paid on the GSOC site. Can someone tell me?
01:52.44valoriefor KDE, the mentors get the pleasure of working with the students
01:53.12valoriethe money that Google sends for the mentors is used to send our delegates to the Mentor Summit
01:53.39valorieI guess some orgs send the money to the mentors

01:55.03gsdevok, thanks valorie! I'm not a mentor, but I was just curious. If I remember correctly, in the past it was $500 but it may have changed with student stipends going up.
01:55.06amittbhardwjGreetings everyone, I am in very serious problem now. I recieved email stating: Our committee has identified that you have violated Google Summer of Code Rules, in particular - section 2.4. Therefore, Systers has reported you to Google and your Google Summer of Code account will be frozen.
01:55.12amittbhardwjYour application to Google Summer of Code with Systers is no longer being considered.
01:56.35gsdevyikes! sorry amittbhardwj
01:56.37amittbhardwjanyone knows what should i do now? I didn't do anything wrong and so less time is remaining
01:56.43gsdevI just looked it up, section 2.4 is "Conduct. Participants must use professional and courteous conduct when interacting with other Participants and the Program Administrators. If a Participant does not use such conduct, Google may remove the Participant from the Program."
01:56.49gsdevamittbhardwj: where you misbehaving anywhere?

02:03.02r0bbyLibreHealth got an Airline Reservation System proposal
02:03.13r0bbyand a really, realy bad proposal for it
02:03.17ollythe email sounds suspect though - an org can't say for sure that your account will be frozen by google
02:03.34r0bbyamittbhardwj: can you login?
02:03.44gsdevlol r0bby
02:04.00r0bbyin case it's not clear, we're a health it org
02:05.51amittbhardwjr0bby: yes, i can login
02:06.35r0bbyamittbhardwj: What was the email address which sent that suspect message
02:06.49lucasm0taProposals sent in the google platform can be evaluated by mentors before deadline ?
02:06.55ollylike that can't be forged
02:07.04ollylucasm0ta: we can see drafts, not the final version
02:07.42r0bbylucasm0ta: assuming your final proposal is identical to your drafts -- we are making decisions -- but final decisions aren't made right now
02:07.51amittbhardwjr0bby: it was Systers and they also banned me from slack  channel. I didn't even get a warning or a chance to defend myself
02:07.53r0bbyWe usually wait for all proposals to trickle in and then we look at them all
02:08.13r0bbyamittbhardwj: Okay, so they banned you, not Google
02:08.51r0bbyOrgs can't ban your account
02:09.12amittbhardwjr0bby: yes, but i made proposal for them and I eamiled google-support also for the same yesterdat and haven't got a reply yet. I am very worrieda
02:09.19lucasm0taMy proposal is already 3 pages long. Is that too long or should I be more precise ?
02:09.22amittbhardwjworried*
02:09.32r0bbylucasm0ta: it should be between 6-8 pages lucasm0ta
02:09.57r0bbyIt should be a plan of what you will do for the summer
02:10.04r0bbyamittbhardwj: good luck
02:10.06gsdevamittbhardwj: did the org tell you why they banned you from their Slack?
02:10.11ollyexpected length is very org specific, and rather dependent on the project

05:58.33r0bbyStudents who dont join our chat are unlikely to get accepted

06:05.56Robert_Solly: Thanks for sending that support email, I wa sabout to go to bed.
06:06.00terribut that’s true, I should email the person who submitted to the wrong org in case they didn’t realize.
06:06.48r0bbyRobert_S: how goes it?
06:07.43terrioh, nvm, the org I thought it should have gone to isn’t in this year.  Guess that’s why they tried us.
06:08.23Robert_Sr0bby: it's bedtime
06:08.38Robert_Sand extracting all this data so I can validate the bug report is taking too long

06:17.53Robert_Solly: Not a bug.  I can go to sleep peacefully.
06:23.18Robert_SIn the end, I didn't need the data, just had to look at the code.  (Should have done that first.)

06:30.15terripombreda: I assumed :)
06:31.37terrivalorie: me too.  Looking at the full spread, I think we’ll have a number of mentors sitting out this year due to no viable applicants
06:32.15pombredaterri: you should not use just "so sad". The new normal is hyperbole and repetition. eg. try instead "one of the great great projects I have a fantastic and awesome new mentor... So very sick and sad"
06:32.29terriOn the bright side, the students who are good should have lots of available mentors at least. :)

06:33.31pombredaterri: At this stage, I may have many more good students proposals that we can mentor :|
06:34.47terripombreda: we’re big, so I usually have a combo of both: a few projects that attracted multiple good students, and a few projects that attracted no good students.  Since our mentors aren’t interchangable, it means some with hard choices and some with no choices.
06:35.23pombredaterri: these are always difficult choices and at times heart wrenching
06:35.47pombredaterri: smart students usually try to shoot for the less traveled project ideas
06:36.03terriI don’t know that that’s actually true
06:36.14terrisometimes some ideas are just interesting to a lot of people :)
06:36.17valorieI hope that they go for the projects they really want to do
06:36.46pombredaOn my side I encouraged the early arrivals to look for more risque ideas
06:36.50valorieso much easier to get over the tough stretches when you love the project
06:36.52terriit’s actually sometimes the *worst* applicants that spend a lot of time trying to game the system by finding out what the least popular ideas are. ;)
06:37.05pombredavalorie: true
06:39.27terriOn the bright side, fewer proposals titled “my proposal” this year than last. :)
06:39.29terriAlthough I imagine we’ll get a bunch in the last hours, so maybe I shouldn’t be excited about that yet.
06:39.40pombredaterri: I never actually seen that happen in many many years of GSoC mentoring/admining
06:40.03pombredathe gaming part trying to find less traveled idea
06:40.18terripombreda: Lucky you. :)
06:41.23pombredaterri: what proportion of apps do you have that are roughly as "me want code, please help" and nothing else of substance?
06:41.41terriWhat I learned from summit last year is that being org admin for a big org, I see a lot of the pathalogical behaviours way sooner than most.
06:42.03pombreda:)
06:42.23terriI hadn’t really thought about it until someone commented last year that they hadn’t seen $some_sketchy_behaviour_I_was_describing until they’d been invovled for 7 years.
06:43.39terripombreda: It’s gone down a lot since the submission limits got smaller.  There used to be students who as far as I could tell submitted something like “please accept me” to every org.
06:43.57pombredayep :D
06:44.10pombredaterri: and you admin for?
06:44.24terrinow… maybe 10%?
06:44.53terripombreda: Python
06:45.13terriI’d guess we pick up more “please help” ones that most because we’re at least a programming language people have heard of
06:45.44terriWe also get some really creative ones that have nothing to do with anything our mentors want to supervise, though, so at least that’s fun.
06:46.05terriGood reading even if I’ve never been able to find a mentor for any of them
06:46.14terriAnd the odd one is so questionable ethically that I don’t even try.

07:33.24r0bbyIt's not gonna end well. I'm not even gonna bother contacting them
07:33.28pombredathe troubling part I could never understand is the strong correlation I have always seen with the locale of the student

07:34.01valoriepombreda: that tracks with educational quality

15:54.58wasiqmThe spam thing is annoying though.
15:55.18terriif you at least read the basic instructions, you don’t generally get marked as spam.  That’s usually for the proposals that are mostly blank or completely unrelated to the org.

16:08.58wasiqmValodim, This makes me feel bad about all the hard work i put into mine.
16:09.03terriwasiqm: it all depends on the project.  Sometimes, yes, a project can be divided up between students, sometimes it’s not possible.  We’re required to make sure that no student’s project depends on another student’s project so that one person getting stuck doesn’t affect anyone else.

16:13.37terriValodim: no clue, it didn’t provide country info
16:14.15Valodimah, too bad. the ones that did have country info with that template were from pakistan in our case, that's why I wondered
16:14.18wasiqmValodim, Possible. Why doesn't google reduce the proposal limit to 2 or 3 ? Making a single good proposal is hard enough.
16:14.52Valodim*shrug
16:15.04meflinwasiqm: proposals used to be unlimited
16:15.21terriI think they still want to give students a chance to work with a few orgs if they want, and 5 is small enough that it cut down on the people who used to spam everyone.

16:23.31pombredasttaylor: exactly
16:23.33terriAlthough as you can see from Valodim’s numbers, a high number of applicants doens’t tell you much about how many halfway decent proposals there were. :)
