20:05.31tkamppeterHi, anyone here who gets the mails to the gsoc-support e-mail address?
20:12.03valoriethis time of year I doubt it, tkamppeter
20:12.53tkamppetervalorie, why? We are in preparation for this year's GSoC.
20:19.42valorieand so are they -- reading those emails for one thing!
20:20.02valorieirc would be just a distraction perhaps
20:20.28valorieI've found them very responsive when I've written
20:31.22QuozlFreso: sugar labs.  we have "musicblocks" as one of our open source software products.  contributions welcome.  ;-)  not yet one of my focii but i am familiar with it.
20:46.08ollytkamppeter: if it's something we might be able to help with just ask - otherwise you probably just need to wait for them to get to it
20:46.16ollyi'd imagine they get a lot of mail around now
20:47.12ollyi just had a response to an email sent at the weekend (about something minor and non-urgent) if you want a data point
20:49.02*** join/#gsoc AB_ (6173e469@gateway/web/freenode/ip.97.115.228.105)
20:51.30tkamppeterolly, it is about that we have a near-blind mentor, he has to resort to text-based browsing for Google's web app and in text mode there is n WANT TO MENTOR button.
20:51.55tkamppeterNow I want to ask whether the admins could assign him as mentor to the desired proposal.
20:52.49*** join/#gsoc faux__ (uid275362@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-wqcluhgdpceagrgo)
20:53.09r0bbyI almost always get a response from gsoc-support@
20:54.10r0bbyThat said, you can probably have your org admin email them -- give them time, I think it might be down to just Stephanie right now
20:54.26r0bbyMaybe Robert_S is helping out as well, not sure
20:54.42r0bby(I don't have visibilty into things, just what I see from the outside)
20:55.19ollythere's no requirement to use "want to mentor" - it's just there as a way for mentors to indicate to admins as a tool
20:55.45ollyit's the assignment by the org admin which matters
20:57.06ollyi think it's fairly common to do the selection in a shared spreadsheet or similar, then just fill in the values in the web app
21:06.52tkamppeterolly, so when I select a student I can choose a mentor for him who did not click WANT TO MENTOR, any of our org's mentors?
21:07.20ollytkamppeter: i believe so
21:10.01ollyand the recent mail says (my emphasis) "If you are interested in being a mentor for a given proposal then you *can* click the purple "Want to Mentor" button to *help* your Org Admin know that you are interested"
21:10.10tkamppeterolly, thank you very much. I got also an answer from Stephanie Taylor now and it is actually the case that I can choose any mentor.
21:10.11ollywhich reads as if it isn't compulsory
21:10.42ollycool
21:12.35Quozlinterpretation may vary; "can" is above "may" in my mind, but that's something that a technical writer could fix.  oh, that's an idea.  technical writers.  ;-)
21:28.45r0bbyQuozl: the team that runs GSoC is surprisingly small and they are hiring
21:38.26Quozlr0bby: yes, i've met them at linux.conf.au ... had lunch.  ;-)
21:39.24r0bbyThey're awesome folks -- known them for years -- aside from Cat, Stephanie is the last remaining person who has been around from the days when I was a student from 2008-10
21:39.48r0bbySince thne I've mentored/OA'd
21:53.27valorieall the comments and marking "I want to mentor" are very helpful to me as an OA
21:53.38valoriethey should be useful to other mentors as well
21:54.26Mcdo you have a rule of thumb on what to base decisions for "borderline proposals" ?
21:54.58*** join/#gsoc michaelni (~michael@213-47-41-20.cable.dynamic.surfer.at)
21:57.00valorie"go with your gut"
21:57.04valorielol
21:57.12perepujalForgot them unles the student has already impressed you
21:57.23valoriereally, we look at their commits to see if they are impressive or poor
21:57.41valorieand their previous involvement
21:58.02valoriebecause we're not just choosing proposals, but *students*
21:59.24Mcinvolvement is recent but has made several emails on the ml (which is more than most^^), but previous commits have not been impressive
22:00.07valorieI mean, I rely on the mentors to make the commitment to mentor or not
22:00.22valorieif nobody wants to mentor, that says something important
22:00.28Mc(my "gut" would say there is a chance for a success but at a very high mentoring cost for the mentor to guide the student)
22:01.03valorieburning out a mentor -- not worth it, IMO
22:01.23valorieunless there is a very strong team behind them to help carry that burden
22:01.40Mcnot really
22:01.44valoriementors make the whole engine run
22:02.02valorieyou don't burn out the engine on your car
22:05.56Quozli agree.
22:07.10valoriein KDE our standard is two mentors per student
22:07.41valorieit works with just one if the student is already very experienced and student and mentor already have worked together
22:08.08valoriebut still I like to see a whole-team involvement, because that's how the student becomes a KDE developer
22:08.20valorieand that's our ultimate aim with GSoC
22:18.48Mcthanks :)
22:18.49Quozlyes, that is best.  unfortunately, some of the attitudes of my mentors would more closely fit an extraction or mining model rather than become a regular developer.
22:19.31valoriesome orgs don't mind code dumps and use GSoC to get them
22:19.42valoriewhich is fine -- but it doesn't grow your org
22:19.53valorieand now you have more code to maintain
22:19.56Quozlexactly.
22:21.10valorieIMO one of the functions of the OA is to mentor the mentors in some respects
22:21.20valorienot in their area of expertise
22:21.30valoriebut in helping them take a wider view
22:21.52Mcwe're a very small org for gsoc ^^
22:22.18Quozlyes.  i'm oa with two others as oa.  i'll have to ask them if they are into growth of org or code dumping.  i think one is into code dumping.
22:23.34valorieeveryone started small at some point!
22:23.39Quozlhey, is the 25 post thread on [gsoc mentors] about plagiarizing interesting or insightful at all?  i'm hesitating looking at it.
22:24.10valorieit's .... OK
22:24.29valorieit's an issue we should all stay aware of

22:25.14Quozli'm sure we had sock puppets one year; the commit quality was fantastic for a student until they began working on their project.  ;-]
22:25.26valorieoh dear
22:25.35valoriethat's so discouraging
22:25.53Quozli couldn't understand why they didn't keep paying their sock puppet.  perhaps the price went up suddenly.
22:27.12FresoQuozl: I’ve seen worse threads. At least it’s not full of 25 paragraph mails. Most a single-line ones.

22:30.21Freso*grumble grumble grumble*
22:30.46Quozlyeah.  i used to care about that.  i began with usenet.  nowadays, if someone wants to top post, i'll top post back at them.  i've never duplicated their entire quoted body eight times below my new text.

22:31.01Quozl... although that's tempting.
22:31.20FresoWell, part of knowing how to quote also includes knowing to not quote everything.
22:31.50Quozl... but i can compensate by playing games with the reply-to address setting it to a mixed case variant of the mailing list.  ;-)
22:32.28Freso(It also irks me when people who bottom post leave a bunch of quoted message text at the end, but then don’t actually have a comment for it, the text is just leftover/left in! D:)
