mithrohey techman8300:39
mithrotechman83: do you need to know anything more about GSoC?00:39
techman83I think at this point in time, I may not quite have the free time to be involved as a mentor00:41

techman83I'd still like to see how it all happens though and be available to help out where I can00:42

techman83We're moving our head office and I'm travelling during GSoC, so I'd hate to be an unreliable mentor00:45

parxGSoC says the most important part is the Ideas page and it needs fixing up. http://code.timvideos.us/Ideas.html02:59
tpbTitle: Tim Videos - Getting Started! (at code.timvideos.us)02:59
parxEarlier today, the GSoC boss said this was a great Ideas page http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas03:03
tpbTitle: GSoCProjectIdeas – Xapian (at trac.xapian.org)03:03
parxI don't quite know how to rank difficulty level or pre reqs for individual TimVideos projects though.03:04
iiie1mithro, when you have a moment, where can we edit  http://code.timvideos.us/Ideas.html ?03:16
tpbTitle: Tim Videos - Getting Started! (at code.timvideos.us)03:16

mithroiiie1: edit the wiki04:09
mithroiiie1: then the wiki is pushed to the main repository04:09
iiie1ah04:09
iiie1thanks04:10
mithroNot sure if that is still working in an automated fasion04:10
* iiie1 will findout shortly04:11
parxyeah, I was unclear about that too04:13
iiie1I'll change the README on the wiki to make it clearer, provided the auto push works it should then update in the main repo too.04:13
mithroiiie1: great!04:13
parxyay!  less scary!04:14

mithroiiie1: no it was a cron job04:20
iiie1I don't think I have access to that04:21
mithroiiie1: nope, only I do04:24
parxTake a look at #3 What is an Ideas list?  https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2014/help_page#1._How_does_a_mentoring_organization04:24

parx"At a minimum, all the ideas on  your Ideas List should include the expected outcome of the project, a  potential mentor, the skills and/or languages required to complete the  project, and a general "difficulty" level. "04:25
skayhmm, I don't think I am good mentor for this then, since I don't have up to date experience with all of the languages04:29

parxbut... "A link to a bug tracker for your open source organization is NOT an ideas list."  Would that stuff need to be on the Ideas page, not just in bug tracker?05:43
mithroparx: the issue tracker at https://github.com/timvideos/getting-started/issues?state=open is *NOT* a bug tracker, it's an "ideas tracker"05:45
tpbTitle: Issues · timvideos/getting-started · GitHub (at github.com)05:45
mithroIE there shouldn't be any bugs there05:45
mithroit's basically a dynamic, filterable version of an ideas page05:45
parxI'd hate for gsoc admin to make the same misunderstanding.  Maybe that should be stated somewhere upfront.05:47
iiie1If the spec for an ideas page says don't link to a bug tracker...  Are you quite sure that having a tracker that isn't used for bugs is far enough away?05:48

rihbyneand your organization has 5 projects.17:55
parx5 that are listed there now17:55
parxwe're doing some work on the site, incl that page17:56

rihbyneand need to meet your nearest milestone ?17:57
rihbynemithro: parx: hello there! I am a student :) nice to meet you.17:58
parxhappy to meet you too!17:58
parxmithro just went to bed, but a few TimVideos mentors from last year are still here17:59
rihbyneok so parx can you answer my listed questions please ?17:59
parxI'm not sure, but I think the projects tagged "Hot" in red are high on mithro's list17:59
rihbyneok17:59
*** skay has left #timvideos18:04
parxrihbyne: iiie or Carlfk might have a better view of the nearest milestone.18:06
parxLast year we had 3 spots for students.  A few time during GSoC, we wished we could have had an extra spot for the student who wanted to do the bug reporting project.18:06
rihbyneyeah ok :) parx for now there is only one project with "hot" indication.18:10
rihbynebut I assume that the first 4 projects are top and hardware based.18:11
CarlFKrihbyne: what sorts of stuff have you done?18:11
parxrihbyne it's being updated.  Also take a look at https://github.com/timvideos/getting-started/issues?state=open18:11
tpbTitle: Issues · timvideos/getting-started · GitHub (at github.com)18:11
rihbyneI am familiar with python and javascript and html5.18:12
rihbyneso parx CarlFK its completely depended on no. of slots and priority projects.18:15
rihbyneI think you should integrade bug reporting functionality inside the streaming website itself. why do you need a separate site for that ?18:16
CarlFKrihbyne: I think the plan is for a little integration, but normal users don't need to be troubled by it18:20
*** skay has joined #timvideos18:20
CarlFKideally, no errors etc, so don't clutter up the code base with it18:20
skaymithro: I might not should help. It depends on how much coding experience you want. I was an embedded c/ARM/HC11 programmer at motorola but that was a long time ago18:21
skaymaybe enough to help students, maybe not18:21
parxA GSoC project can be expanded as the student progresses through the summer.18:21
parxrihbyne: by that I mean the scope of your project is limited only by your skills and work ethic : )18:22
rihbyneah! CarlFK so it would be great to have a middleware to check whether the request is for 'bug reporter' and then accordingly respond with asking for admin authentication and then rendering the html report.18:23
rihbyneok parx agree with you.18:26
parxrihbyne: responding to the idea that selection mostly depends on priority projects and # of spots18:30
parxIMHO it's better to have a student whose skills are solidly matched to a medium priority project rather than a student completely out of her/his depth on a top priority project.18:30
parxbut a bit of a challenge is always good for a learner : )18:31
rihbyneyeah parx what do you suggest me? I know python/javascript well. got to brush up django. since I am am using flask.18:32
CarlFKrihbyne: python - how familiar are you with debugging weird code, like stuff that overrids the normal object.attribute stuff?18:34
CarlFKfluemotion/gstreamer bindings are pretty tricky and prolly not a good time to start learning how that stuff works at the same time you are trying to debug it18:35
CarlFKbut if you are on top of it, then it would be fun18:36
CarlFKa long time ago I got in over my head trying to use lambdas and yields at the same time I was learning about them.  not fun, project failed.18:36
rihbyneI am familiar with object-oriented practices and inheritance in python. maybe I will be able to handle that and stick to your coding standards like PEP8 and using code review tool.18:42
rihbyneCarlFK: ^18:42
CarlFKrihbyne: that's not it.. I suspect you should stay away from the fluemotion port18:43
CarlFKI forget exactly where they do this, but something like overriding the __magic stuff and so trying to figure out what x.y is will drive you batty18:44
rihbyneI am interested,but I want to confirm if software side projects will be included in gsoc.because looking at last years statistics only 3 projects were selected even after mentioning other ones.18:45
CarlFKyou would expect to find class X(): def y():  but really X.__get? or something maps "y" to "lala"18:45
CarlFKI think all the projects are up for grabs, but we can only have a few students, so we pick what looks like the best matches18:47
rihbyneI will stick and watch the updates.read more the flumotion and streaming website and bug reporter project if you include that too.18:48
parxyes rihbyne, software side projects are fair game18:48
rihbyneparx: what you really mean by 'fair game' ? I didnt understand :)18:49
