17:56.17HayashiEsmeHello:)
17:56.42HayashiEsmeAnyone in? (Sorry I only saw the replies after I woke up from a nap)
17:57.06PulkoMandyyes, but if you have a question, just ask it, IRC is somewhat asynchronous
17:57.15HayashiEsmeAh thanks:)
17:57.50HayashiEsmeI'm just wondering if GSOC is really competitive to get a project you want - I just want my expectations managed
17:58.13meflinit is and it isn't
17:58.26HayashiEsmeWhat makes it competitive and what makes it not competitive?
17:58.45HayashiEsmeI guess I saw the requirements for one of the projects I was interested in and it seemed more like a job description
17:58.55meflinlots of students ... but most of them show ... not much of interest
17:59.02HayashiEsmeI was kinda hoping I could have an introduction to Open Source while I could pick up proper skills in C and stuff
17:59.15HayashiEsmeRight, that's a bleepin shame
17:59.27meflinstart learning now with the project
17:59.27HayashiEsmeDo mentors have a hard time trying to figure out who'll see through the project?
17:59.56HayashiEsmeI cold emailed the guy (I saw him talk about already finding students on a dev board and I freaked out) and he didn't reply
18:00.04meflinyou do ask the hard questions ;)
18:00.23HayashiEsmeI mean I don't mean to be harsh on them but I'm like damn that seems like competition
18:00.26HayashiEsmeoooops hehe:P
18:00.27PulkoMandyeach organization is different, I'd say. Some have "hot" topics, apparently if you have "machine learning" or "AI" or things like that in a project description suddenly there are hundreds of applications, some other have maybe a dozen or so
18:00.28meflinstudents are not selected before they are
18:00.41HayashiEsmeAh
18:01.00HayashiEsmeI'm wanting to work on more low level software, like OS stuff or Kernel stuff or Desktop environment stuff
18:01.09HayashiEsmeIs that gonna see lots of applications?
18:01.30meflindoesn't mater you can still work on it if not selected
18:01.41HayashiEsmeThat's pretty fucking true lmfao
18:01.46PulkoMandywell you can join us at www.haiku-os.org then, if the project ideas there sound good to you
18:02.07lesderidto maximise your 'chances', I would worry about writing a good application and communicating well with your org rather than worry about competition
18:02.26PulkoMandythere will be a list of accepted organizations in february, so I don't know yet if we will be accepted there
18:02.27meflinusualy ads anoy but PulkoMandy is right they are awsome and right in line with you
18:02.32HayashiEsmeI've been trying to get into linux development but the documentation I've had to pile through are super old so there came interesting barriers to getting started
18:02.53HayashiEsmeand then there's the whole omfg I don't wanna bother people with my potato knowledge what's even the culture around offering to dev stuff
18:03.00lesderidPulkoMandy: I sure hope so :3
18:03.08HayashiEsmeI'll have a look! PulkoMandy Thanks:3
18:03.26PulkoMandylesderid: yes, but it doesn't happen every year, so, I don't want to make promises I can't hold
18:03.48lesderidah, fair enough
18:04.20HayashiEsmeIs it competitive for mentors/orgs to be accepted into GSOC too?
18:04.26HayashiEsmeBleugh nooooo but open source
18:04.27meflinthe sooner you get involved the better
18:05.02PulkoMandythere is a limited number of organizations that can be accepted, so yes, in a way. But it's fair, if we don't get in we just do something else for the summer :)
18:05.22meflinVACATION!!!!
18:05.37HayashiEsmeayo! get your own shit started if the fancy places don't give you stuff
18:05.39PulkoMandybut yes, there is a selection process for us as well, so we need to set up a good list of project ideas, have mentors ready, etc
18:05.41HayashiEsmebut also bahaha that too ^
18:05.56HayashiEsmedaamnn
18:06.05PulkoMandybut yes, sometimes vacation would be nice. GSoC sure keeps us busy :)
18:06.27HayashiEsmenawww go on vacation man
18:06.41HayashiEsmeit'll be lovely baha, i need one right about now ha
18:07.40PulkoMandyI have a week and a half off work in early feruary, but I'll spend it going to FOSDEM, then a coding sprint for Haiku, and then giving a talk about Haiku in some school. So, does it really count as vacation?
18:07.56meflinI often end up doing gsoc on vacation :\
18:08.17meflinPulkoMandy: nope
18:09.10HayashiEsmeDo you get to do cool touristy stuff while at FOSDEM? :P
18:09.13meflinvacation is watching the sun set on the messa's with a 25 year scotch
18:09.25HayashiEsmelmfao that's not a vacation either omfg
18:09.36meflinthat was tho an excelent day :)
18:09.38*** join/#gsoc Andre_H (~german_wi@dslb-088-064-215-115.088.064.pools.vodafone-ip.de)
18:09.40HayashiEsmethat sounds like a good fucking day bahah
18:12.12meflinHayashiEsme: stop worying about others dive into something you enjoy bond with your comunity
18:13.23PulkoMandyyes, if you have an interesting project and are motivated to work on it, I'd say that's likely to work well
18:14.05HayashiEsmeooof called out :P
18:14.33HayashiEsmeyeah I definitely should:) Looking up things now thanks for the kick in the butt bahaha
