02:54.09mezzodehey, does anyone know why https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/writing-a-proposal#general-notes says to submit several proposals when there's a proposal limit of 3? does it mean drafts or something?
02:57.41*** join/#gsoc mezzode_ (~mezzode@89.238.178.75)
03:01.13ollymezzode_: the limit used to be higher so the phrasing is now a bit odd
03:01.44ollyi'd recommend talking to the org before submitting multiple proposals to the same org
03:01.46valorieimo a limit of 3 is still too high
03:02.07ollythey may be able to help suggest where to focus
03:03.19mezzode_ah got it, thanks

13:15.16MSleepyPandaHey! Is there someone here from germany who participated in gsoc? I'd love to chat on the legal/tax aspects of the stipends :)
13:15.23MSleepyPandaSome questions:
13:16.02MSleepyPandaIs it a stipend in terms of salary or like a scholarship/grant?
13:18.29MSleepyPandaAre there some other legal challenges like tax? E.g. insurance etc.. I will contanct mine, but i'd have to know what the legal structure is for them to evaluate my plan.
13:23.06MSleepyPandaSince the student terms state that there will be no contract of employment, are there other things to sign?
13:23.58MSleepyPandaIf you refer to a specific question, please say question 1,2,3 :)

14:06.20iamvasuhhello everyone , i actually wanted to ask that , how many attempts are allowed for a student to apply for gsoc?
14:06.31iamvasuhfor a first time student
14:09.03gevaertsYou can submit up to three proposals, and you can take part (which means get selected and so on, not just applying) twice
14:11.18iamvasuhthat means i can apply for any number of times as long as i m fulfilling the other eligibility criterias?
14:11.32gevaertsyes
14:11.53abhikpalgevaerts: see section 7.1 here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/rules/
14:12.06iamvasuhthere is only rule on getting selected twice ONLY and no more

16:57.24Euler_Hey people
16:57.57cbilti don't get this whole, "discuss your idea" thing
16:58.06cbiltno one is discussing anything (for my chosen project)
16:58.12cbiltpeople write an introduction, sure, but that's it
16:58.55fundamentalsounds like people aren't asking the right questions or providing the context to them.
16:59.57cbilti understand what they mean by discussing. asking relevant questions about their chosen gsoc idea. but i haven't seen it, neither on IRC or the mailing list, and you're not meant to do it in private. so where is all this discussion happening? i'm freaking out because if i'm not active enough i'm screwed. but no one else is doing anything so
17:01.08fundamentalif you are concerned with being active, what are you doing to drive the discussion forward?
17:02.19r0bbycbilt: The GSoC orgs are required to put ideas up...you can add your own, however it's probably unlikely to be accepted if 2 mentors can't be matched to you. Ask questions publicly, do everything publicly. If you're concerned with someone stealing your idea, start a draft and then ask questions.
17:03.15cbiltseems like no one understands english here, oops
17:03.35r0bbycbilt: also -- people who aren't active are very unlikely to get accepted in all but the newer orgs. The experienced ones figured out that having a contribution requirement is a way to filter out the weaker candidates
17:04.46meflin_cbilt: insulting people is uncalled for
17:05.57r0bbycbilt: also -- since you're using ZNC -- I assume you understand how IRC works -- people idle and do other things. and aren't always active
17:06.06r0bbyand even when they are active, they may be in other channels.
17:07.28r0bbyThe rockstar students have already been engaged with us prior -- I've been fielding student questions since the program was announced for this year

18:00.03noracodesHi! My legal name doesn't match the name I use most of the time, including the name my college officially uses. What should I do when filling out my GSoC profile? Obviously Google needs my legal name for taxes but it's not what's on my proof of enrollment and if it's on my certificate I'll be rather unhappy.
18:00.54r0bbynoracodes: Use your legal name.
18:01.33meflinif there are questions you will be contacted
18:06.59noracodesr0bby: Is it possible to get a preferred name on the certificate? Also, what should I do about Proof of Enrollment? Or, is that what you meant, meflin? That they'd contact me if there was an issue?
18:07.21r0bbynoracodes: don't obsess over the certificate
18:07.36r0bbyThe real metric is your code.
18:07.46noracodesThat's fair, sorry. It's just a big worry for me because, since changing my name, I'm having to rebuild my professional reputation, such as it is.
18:07.47r0bbyThat and what your mentors thought about you
18:07.54meflinnoracodes: it was about proof
18:08.04noracodesOk, great. Thank you!

21:56.55valorie3 proposals is a LOT
21:57.16ollyit is
21:58.04ollyi'd advise worrying more about getting selected once, rather than what happens if you somehow managed to get three orgs to want you
21:58.19valorieamen to that
21:58.57valorieone solid proposal in an org where you have built up strong ties beats 3 thin ones every time
21:59.08valoriebecause orgs choose *students*
21:59.09Davide95@olly I know :) I've one proposal in which I want to focus more and two backups, that's why :)
21:59.12valorienot proposals
22:00.28ollyit's not a lottery though - putting the same effort into one backup proposal is likely a better option
22:00.31pouncevalorie: i've read there are fewer users (overall) now than in the mid 2000s. i still love it though :p
22:00.44valorieperhaps
22:00.51valorieless spam and idiocy too
22:00.56valorieso overall win for me
22:01.34valorieolly speaks truth
22:01.50Davide95@olly yes you're right. But I can assure you that I'm working on all of them as much as I can because I like all of them :) It would be hard to remove one of the two
22:04.10valorieit's more important right now to be working with the org of your choice, fixing bugs etc
22:04.19valoriegetting to know the team you want to work with
22:04.52valoriein KDE at least we try to choose students who will stay with us, support their code, and become KDE devels
22:04.59valorieI think other orgs do the same
22:05.14valoriewe really don't want drive-by GSoC code
