JLPmentro?21:57
mithroJLP: well, it can't hurt to apply to be a mentoring org21:57
JLPmithro: that would be wasome21:57
mithroJLP: would you be willing to be a mentor?21:58
JLPmithro: i'm not sure i've got enough insight into protocol21:58
mithrocould you also be the "backup organization administrator", Lee doesn't have a google account21:58
mithroJLP: a mentor is more about guiding the person about the project and introducing them to OSS foo21:59
JLPmithro: oh, then I guess i can do it21:59
mithrowhats your google account again?22:00
mithrothen we need to write some stuff for the following questions22:00
mithroWhat is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?22:00
mithroWhat is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?22:00
mithroWhat steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?22:00
mithroWhat will you do to ensure that your accepted students stick with the project after GSoC concludes?22:00
JLPmithro: jrepin is my account i guess22:02
*** zipola has quit IRC22:02

nashmithro: Summer of code?22:07
mithroyes22:07
mithrodeadline is today22:07
JLPmithro: first two questions are quite wierd22:07
nashI remembered last night - but my computer was switched off on the floor22:08
nashMy deak was in pieces waiting for the council to dump ;-)22:08
jothamthe joys of moving22:08
nashSo sorry - however I can try and pimp you a bit to Chris DiBona22:08
mithrothe second question I guess we could say "There are a couple of alternatives if a mentor disappears, one option is for another mentor to take over. ..."22:09
mithroI've been pimping to Leslie22:09
nashIf you need a spare, put mt down.  Else if you want to apply as a student yoursel,f put mt down ;-)22:09
mithroWhy is your organization applying to participate in GSoC 2007? What do you hope to gain by participating?22:09
mithromt?22:10
nashAbsolutely22:11
mithros/mt/me?22:11
nashWell you are eligible for cash ;-)22:11
nashAlso you hope to gain publicity - which is nice22:11

mithrothis is like a pretty diablo22:14
nashReal popular on IRC channels22:14
nashmithro: So when is the SoC deadline?22:15

jothamcool, does it have a good story?22:15
mithronash: ASAP22:15
mithronash: is it a public holiday in NSW? or only in SA?22:16
jothamthat looks addictive22:16
nashNot a public holiday here :-(22:16

jothamthat looks cool http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2006/096/reviews/928126_20060407_screen001.jpg22:17
tpb<http://ln-s.net/JmD> (at image.com.com)22:17
mithronash: so you wanted to be a mentor then?22:18
nashmithro: If you like - if you need someone22:19
nashAs long as it is not too much paper work ;-)22:19
mithronash: do you have a google account?22:21
nashYes: [email protected]22:21
* nash has meeting in a minute.. so will disappear suddenly22:22
nashback soon - have fun22:24
JLPmithro: is soc still only about code (and not about art, documentation, webdesign ...)22:25
mithroyes22:25
JLPmithro: and still only one coder per application22:26
mithroyes22:26
JLPmithro: so we need to find some good reason for the why question first22:28
mithroThis one --> Why is your organization applying to participate in GSoC 2007? What do you hope to gain by participating?22:28
JLPwould working on a protocol count for this22:28
JLPyup that one22:28
mithroJLP: yes22:28
mithroI think we need to try and get across how much more a students efforts mean in a small project22:29
JLPso one of the ideas would be to get someone to work on creation of TP04 protocol22:29
JLPif the project creates the protocol she would work on enhancing our protocol libraries/servers... to implement this new version22:30
JLPso what this would bring us is to get the more interesting playable games faster and I think this is needed to attract more players/developers in th future22:32
jothamcan we use hubble pictures etc?22:40
jothamlike is that license a-okay22:40
JLPjotham: http://hubblesite.org/copyright/22:44
tpbTitle: HubbleSite - Copyright (at hubblesite.org)22:44
jothamjust would like something behind the starfield22:46
jothamcool22:46
mithrojust need to fill out23:00
mithroWhat is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?23:00
mithroand23:00
mithroWhat is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?23:00
mithroany ideas people?23:00
jothamyeah i have an idea23:01
jothamgoogle is your friend23:01
jothamspecifically those questions put into google show everyone elses answers23:02
JLPfor mentors we have backup mentors i guess23:02
jothamso create a composit answer from that23:02
jothamfor instance http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5935 (scroll down)23:02
tpbTitle: Google Summer of Code (at wiki.squeak.org)23:02
jothamgod i have meetings all afternoon23:06
JLPyeah it looks like having constant communication going between organisation and mentors and students is the best way to deal/prevent them dissapearing23:15
JLPKDE also has some ice pages about SoC 2007 - http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Summer_of_Code/200723:20
tpb<http://ln-s.net/JmH> (at techbase.kde.org)23:20
mithrookay all submitted23:20
mithronash: so now you need to pimp to Chris :)23:21
nashmithro: Can I see the application23:21
nashIs it on the web somewher?23:21
