04:10.25Arthur_Rainbowhi
04:11.14Arthur_RainbowIs it normal/expected to already see that some students made final applications without even discussing with us first ?
04:12.11Arthur_RainbowI fail to understand what's going on. Given that there is a limited number of applicatinos, I would not expect that much spam. But 7 final applications whose draft is only a few line long and do not related to the organization seems unexpected
04:13.26cdesaiArthur_Rainbow: in my experience it is "normal", if we can call it that
04:13.50cdesaimaybe not 7 so early, but I've definitely seen a few every year
04:13.52Arthur_RainbowLet's say: is it usual or is it a sign we failed something?
04:15.29cdesaiI wouldn't call it a failure tbh. do the various contact links given for your organisation work?
04:15.34Arthur_RainbowThey work
04:15.53Arthur_RainbowWe already got 13 new contributors to our codebase, and 5 drafts we are really happy with
04:17.03Arthur_RainbowSo I've no doubt that some people understood what we asked.
04:17.03cdesaiYeah, so I'd say you have a quite popular / interesting project then, and it's just people maybe not understanding this whole thing correctly.
04:17.11Arthur_RainbowThanks
04:17.32Arthur_RainbowIt's my first year at GSoC, so not entirely sure of what's going on usually
04:18.18Arthur_RainbowOther question: do you have any advice about how to tell some people you'd want to take as intern that their application is rejected ?
04:18.45cdesaiI have been keeping a private sheet of names / nicks / proposal details to make it easy to match things up - people do use different names on IRC
04:19.43Arthur_RainbowWe are a new org, with 4 mentors/admin, so we know we can have at most 2 students, and there are already 4 people who sent interesting PR and applications, and honestly can't see myself rejecting two of them
04:19.50cdesaithat's a hard one, my strategy has been to let someone else do it, so I'm going to do the same here and hope somebody else has a good answer.
04:20.00Arthur_Rainbow:p
04:20.15cdesaiIt's a bit early though I'd say - you have to ask google for slots and take students based on what you get.
04:20.57Arthur_Rainbow"you get" ? Do you mean: "based on how many slot you get"?
04:21.01cdesaiyes

04:22.33Arthur_RainbowI'm not going to tell anybody else they are not accepted, clearly we have not decided. But I don't have to wait until the last moment to prepare myself to rejecting some of them
04:22.51Arthur_RainbowI'm not YET going to tell anybody...
04:23.25cdesaistudents also have to make sure they submit a final proposal by the deadline, and submit a valid proof of enrollment too
04:23.26Arthur_RainbowAnd we already know we will reject people. Just because we don't have the bandwidth to mentor all good application we already received
04:25.34daksh4469Greetings,
04:25.34daksh4469I am Doshi Daksh Birenkumar from Ahmedbad, India. I am aspiring to participate in Google Summer of Code, 2021. I am facing a problem with my GSoC dashboard profile. In my proof on enrollment and all other legal documents, my name is "Doshi Daksh Birenkumar", which is a 3-word name. So how should I fill this name in the Profile form of GSoC, as
04:25.35daksh4469there are only 2 fields in the form, i.e., First Name and Last Name?
04:25.35daksh4469Please guide me as to how to move forward.
04:25.36daksh4469Regards.

06:18.56PulkoMandyArthur_Rainbow: hi! Well if you are a new org you are very likely to get only one or maybe two slots anyway. That's part of the faq and you can tell it to the students (without telling them who you think will be selected). It's a good reason for the students to work on an alternate proposal with another org. In that case you can alsocontact that other org to explain them what's happening and they can look

06:19.32aasifHi, For Home address in our profile, should we give the country we are studying in right now or our actual home country?
06:41.43Arthur_RainbowThank PulkoMandy : We have repeated in all of our communication and 1-to-1 discussion that they are not guaranteed to be accepted and explained why. I hope that all people who discussed with is aware of it
06:42.45Arthur_RainbowI'm not sure that, when someone made a PR, a test, just blaming GSoC rule won't make me feel good about this message

09:10.44sahilHello everyone
09:13.01sahilI was unable to find any open issues on xwiki's github repo. Can anyone help me to find some as I want to contribute.
09:14.39McI'm not sure there is anyone from xwiki here, I'd go to https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Chat
09:15.40Mc(I found the link on https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing which is linked directly from a "Contributing" link on xwiki.org home page and that's probably the link you want if you want to start contributing to xwiki)
09:15.44Mcsahil: ^
09:33.44sahilThanks for providing me the information.
