09:43.16iojkHi. Does somebody know if all accepted students get informed on April 23rd? AFAIK organisations had to send accepted proposals to Google this week and I wonder if the selected ones get contacted earlier.
10:25.55chronic_Iojk: everyone that is selected will be informed on April 23 (chosen proposals should show up on GSOC website+e-mail notifications will be sent too). No one is contacred before April 23, thay's against the rules.
10:29.08iojkWhat if two different orgs accept the same student? He selects the org he wants to work for after April 23rd?
10:30.04Amaaniojk: I believe the orgs negotiate it amongst themselves before then
10:34.06iojkOkay, thanks

19:49.06ollyAmaan: the way it works now (since a few years ago) is that the first org to select a student has priority
19:49.24ollyother orgs who try to select can see who selected the student with email contact addresses
19:49.35ollyup to them if they contact or go for another choice
19:49.55ollyand up to the first org if they hand over the student
19:52.46ollyit's fairly rare though - < 10% contacts for us at least under the current system
19:54.04braverock_wkyeah, I've only had a few collisions over many years

19:55.30ollybut really clashes are rare enough that I don't really see it as an issue
19:55.54ollythe old system allowed the slack admins to create a mess
19:56.03ollythe new system favours those who are on the ball
19:56.12braverock_wkwell, I wouldn't exactly call it a mess
19:56.21braverock_wkthe de-dupe meetings weren't that big of a pain
19:56.39ollythey were messy though, and leaked a lot of information about student selections
19:57.02braverock_wkthat's true
19:57.07ollywhich we're repeatedly told not to do, yet the system did by design
19:58.18meflinits still slightly leaky
19:58.40ollyi think actually the new system favours those who have managed to finalise decisions enough to select students the first day, which seems fair enough
19:59.09meflinmeh .. better then all alternitives IMO
19:59.48ollyyeah, overall I think it's a good approach
20:00.03ollymeflin: slightly leaky?
20:00.19meflinI see things :)
20:00.41ollyyou should see someone about that
20:01.04meflinthey told me it was all in my mind ;)
20:02.28ollyi'd be very interested to see stats on what proportion of students make X proposals vs what proportion of *accepted* students do
20:03.16meflinnot a bad idea could help students not to shotgun bad proposals ... dupes are rare
20:03.23ollythe average seems to always be somewhere under 1.5, so most must only send one proposal
20:03.55ollymeflin: yes, i think it would be something useful to point students at

20:44.42chronic_Any student ever have all 3 proposals accepted? How'd that work out?
20:45.32jn__chronic_: no, that can't happen
20:47.10meflinAFAIK it has never happened but it can happen
20:47.58jn__i thought there's enough coordination in place to prevent this
20:48.35meflinno
20:49.09meflinwell sorta only one app can be accepted in the current system
20:49.17jn__that's what i mean
20:49.46meflinit is still possible to 3 orgs to mark as accepted 1 student
20:49.58meflinthe de-dupe is handled in that case
20:50.31meflinAFAIK no student has been accepted 3 ways ... just 2 is very rare
20:50.31terriWell, now the first person marks the student as accepted and anyone else just gets a warning screen that won't let them select.
20:50.33jn__ok, so a slightly better term in that case would be "pre-accepted" or something, IMHO
20:51.38meflinterri: I guess my knowledge of that shall not be named is better then the current
20:51.51terriIn theory a student could make multiple accounts and get selected on each of them, but then they get banned from the program when their docs get checked so no one accepts them.
20:52.40terriso, uh, don't do that. :)
20:52.57meflincrunchy cruncky students I love to eat them  :D
20:52.59terrimeflin: well, yeah, barring bugs.
20:54.19meflinI am not aware of any bugs and if I was I would not be disposed to discues them
20:54.34terriBut yeah, I can't remember any 3-way ties back when we had the dedupe meetings
20:55.22meflinI was always the DD at de-dupe and I dont recall any
20:56.35meflinstudents who worry about such things should know the trade value has been publicly set

21:25.45ollythere's a famous and much over-cited case of a student getting accepted by N orgs (and then deduplicated) in the early days
21:25.53ollyI think N might even have been 5 or so
21:26.55ollybut that was before orgs expected some sort a patch submission as part of the process, which seems close to ubiquitous now
21:27.33ollyand one outlier is curious, but not really indicative

21:52.34stattDid the org got 5 slots this time also?
21:53.04ollystatt: 5 different orgs tried to select the same student
21:53.14ollyor some quite large number anyway
21:53.32ollybut this was more than 10 years ago, and gsoc has changed significantly since
21:53.32braverock_wkI remember a few large de-dupes
21:54.01braverock_wkand there was often a mess of the new selection creating a another round that needed to be deduped
21:54.22braverock_wkbut that was also when students could submit many more applications
21:54.29stattyeah, the selection process is quite tedious
21:55.22stattshould be 6-7 this time?
21:55.29braverock_wkwe thankfully had fewer than 100 applications this year (our student proposals are typically about 10 pages long)
21:55.38ollyanecdotally I'd say the average number of orgs applied to by students we accept is not much over 1 (we ask if they've applied elsewhere so we're prepared with enough backup choices)
21:55.48ollystatt: the number of slots each org gets varies widely
21:56.03braverock_wkyes, from 1 to a very large number
21:56.05ollytypically from 1 to 50 or more
21:56.28ollyyou don't get more than you ask for, and new orgs are typically limited to 2
21:56.54ollyand good feedback from past students helps apparently
21:57.30stattI guess slots are allotted already? ;)
21:57.38ollyyes, and assigned
21:57.42ollythere's just more checking now
21:57.52ollyand sorting out any replacements that requires
21:57.57braverock_wkand students will be announced next week
21:58.02stattI don't know why google takes so much time?
21:58.14ollyi think they do a preliminary check of the proofs
21:58.15braverock_wkbecause there are thousands of students who need to be verified
21:58.21braverock_wk:)
21:58.40ollythat's for all students who submitted a proposal, then a more detailed check for the students actually being accepted
21:58.48braverock_wkand the GSoC team is tiny
21:59.31braverock_wkso once it is past automation, it is a lot of work for a very small number of hard-working Google folks
22:00.07ollyperhaps one day we'll see captchas asking "click all the valid proofs of student ID"
22:00.10stattYeah, plone should be good with 10-12 , i guess not more :)
22:00.53statt@olly: :)
22:02.23stattIs it okay to ask the org how many slots are alloted?
22:02.48ollywe're recommended not to say
22:03.03ollyas a student it doesn't really tell you much anyway
22:03.34ollybut if you know we had 8 slots and then see we select 7 students but not you...
22:03.51statt@olly: :)
22:04.12statttrue......
22:04.28ollyand the reasons can be complicated
22:04.47braverock_wkwhen the selections are announced, the number of selected students is public information
22:05.31stattone more thing, Did the org get more slots than last year slots?
22:05.48stattplease don't mind ....
22:05.51ollystatt: you keep saying "the org"
22:05.58ollythere are a lot of orgs
22:06.13stattorganisations :)
22:06.16ollysome are new, some will probably get more, some probably fewer, some maybe the same
22:06.56stattThanks for the time @olly

22:28.50valorieand some of us don't really think the more/less slots question is even interesting
22:29.07valoriethe question is how many mentors do we have available for the really good students we want?
22:29.35valoriesometimes we have to no select Really Good students because we don't have suitable mentors available
