01:42.13roberthoenigHi folks! I'm an 18 year old student from Germany. I just finished high-school, and am currently taking a gap year. I just got enrolled into a university. My first semester starts on October 3, 2018. I'd like to participate in GSoC, but the GSoC website says "Proof that you have accepted an offer to attend an eligible college or university stating for a semester/grading period starting on or before September 15, 2018." Does this

11:24.45OhYashHey
11:25.40OhYashIs it usually the case that organizations pick only those students who have submitted some patch for their project previously?
11:26.29achillionI wouldn't say so, no
11:26.44achillionthough it helps
11:30.03OhYashachillion : Alright. And, if I go and talk to some mentor from any organization. Will they be like "Please explain how would you solve <this> problem/idea", or "Can you explain how <this> module works"?
11:30.34OhYashWhat I'm imagining is some sort of technical interview over IRC.
11:31.28OhYashAny experienced student here. maybe point out towards some converstion maillist so I can know what to expect.
11:32.22achillionI don't know how other orgs handle first contact, but for me it has never been so formal
11:33.46OhYashachillion : So what was it like? A little sort of outer view...
11:33.50achillionAs in, it's not so much an interview, it's more of a conversation. Perhaps it has a similar goal—they want to know if you can handle the task if you're selected—and sometimes that can be made obvious through minor contributions beforehand.
11:34.02achillionbut
11:34.52achillionat the end of the day, in my opinion, it all comes down to the candidate demonstrating that they understand what the project entails and where they might start
11:35.52achillionOhYash: Bottom line, if you have an org in mind, I would suggest you talk to them directly. Read their docs, check their code, read their proposed projects and engage.

11:37.17OhYashSo, Explaination of What I understand of the project, but more like a conversation instead of interview. right?
11:37.51achillionI guess. Experiences vary. I'm sure someone might read what I said here and disagree.
11:38.14OhYashand achillion: What sequence? Should the "Talk to them directly" come before "read their docs" or after
11:42.24achillionWell, I kinda have a positive response to people who show they've prepared before engaging so they know what they're talking about. Then again, it doesn't hurt to say "Hi, my name is Y. I'm interested in project X for GSoC. I'm going to start reading the dev docs etc and check out the codebase. Look forward to talking to you" that kind of thing. You'll notice that I'm not saying anything concrete here. Like I
11:42.27achillionsaid. It varies. Every person approaches introductions differently and every mentor has preferences. It's hard to give direct answers.
11:44.22OhYashSounds good. Gotta talk to someone today. Thanks a lot. :)

15:58.00kvuser6I guess there's no moderator in the #kodi channel. Not sure though. I very recently joined that channel and asked for a mentor's help. They said that there might be a gsoc channel
15:58.16kvuser6But,  On visiting this page - http://kodi.wiki/view/Kodi_related_projects_and_sites - and clicking on "Contacts", it redirected me to this - https://kodi.wiki/view/Kodi_related_projects_and_sites -  and finally here
15:59.09achillionkvuser6: searching kodi gsoc brings me here which says candidates should use the forums https://kodi.wiki/view/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018
16:00.13achillionkvuser6: also, generally, people might not be checking IRC constantly. You might have to hang around for a while to get a response.
16:00.42achillionunless they explicitly said the mentors aren't in the channel
16:00.48kvuser6But I didn't get a mentor contact list or something like that. So I am a bit confused...
16:01.13kvuser6Didn't get on this page https://kodi.wiki/view/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018
