| 22:57 | walter_ | hi tch |
| 22:57 | any other mentors around? | |
| 22:57 | (GSoC mentors) | |
| 22:57 | tony37 <tony37!~tony105.178.96.1> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 22:57 | tch__ | walter_, there's tony :) |
| 22:57 | walter_ | hi tony37 |
| 22:57 | thanks for joining us | |
| 22:57 | tony37 | hi, walter |
| 22:57 | tch__ | tony37, hola tony |
| 22:58 | walter_ | so... here is the deal |
| 22:58 | we have 67 applications for GSoC | |
| 22:59 | tch__ | walter_, do we know how many slots is SL getting? |
| 22:59 | walter_ | and we have 12 mentors |
| 22:59 | we need to let Google know how many slots we want by the end of the weekend | |
| 23:00 | that is what I'd like to decide tonight | |
| 23:00 | we have two weeks to decide on the actual students whom we accept | |
| 23:00 | * we find out on the 15th how many slots we get | |
| 23:00 | I think we have ~20 strong candidates | |
| 23:01 | but I am loathe to ask for more slots than mentors | |
| 23:01 | make sense? | |
| 23:03 | tony37 | There are strong proposals for both web confusion and interactive javascript shell. |
| 23:03 | I don't know the time burden for mentoring, but it is looking like a lot | |
| 23:04 | walter_ | tony37, I have mentored more than one student in the past... it is a lot of work |
| 23:04 | tch__ | I think we should aim for 1 project per active mentor, |
| 23:04 | walter_ | tch__, I agree |
| 23:04 | tch__ | but is hard to tell who is/will be an active one |
| 23:04 | I mentored two at once in 2013, was really hard to keep up | |
| 23:04 | walter_ | tch__, I think that most of the mentors will be active |
| 23:05 | (the new ones I recruited for the music projects are quite engaged) | |
| 23:05 | maybe we can recruit more mentors over the next couple of days? | |
| 23:05 | tch__ | walter_, yeah but they all mentoring 1 project right? |
| 23:05 | walter_, we can try | |
| 23:05 | walter_ | tch__, well, maybe we make it two projects/students as there is a lot to do |
| 23:06 | and we have several strong applications in that area | |
| 23:06 | we have some general JS activity programming that could be mentored by a group of "at large" developers | |
| 23:07 | tch__ | walter_, yes, but there should be one mentor with the responsability |
| 23:07 | walter_, the problem with groups is that there is no one responsible | |
| 23:07 | walter_ | tony37, is there anyone else in the community you trust to work with either of your projects? |
| 23:07 | tch__, agreed. | |
| 23:07 | we need a responsible party | |
| 23:07 | (in GCI, it ends up being me) | |
| 23:08 | but I cannot do the same for GSoC | |
| 23:08 | tony37 | I would have to think about that, certainly it would have to be someone not already a mentor |
| 23:08 | tch__ | walter_, definitely not, |
| 23:08 | walter_ | tony37, please do think about it |
| 23:08 | tony37, and please let me know over the weekend if possible | |
| 23:09 | tch__, have any good JS hackers lurking about? | |
| 23:09 | tony37 | Ok |
| 23:09 | tch__ | walter_, I can try find one before sunday.. haha |
| 23:10 | walter_ | I'll try too |
| 23:10 | so maybe we can get up to 15... | |
| 23:11 | meanwhile. I think we need to start culling | |
| 23:11 | we can perhaps assign mentors where we are confident we want to supervise a particular student | |
| 23:11 | we can change our minds, but it would be a good exercise | |
| 23:12 | tch__ | walter_, looking at the mentors list, and if I had to respond intuitively , id say we can realistically manage around 7-8 |
| 23:13 | walter_ | I think we are good for 10 |
| 23:13 | pretty solid crew | |
| 23:14 | tch__ | walter_, and we should prioritize projects, we have more than 10 ideas |
| 23:15 | walter_ | tch__, yes |
| 23:15 | tch__ | walter_, based on proposals quality most likely |
| 23:15 | walter_ | I think we have to do it that way |
| 23:15 | tch__ | walter_, and secondly based on candidates themselves |
| 23:15 | walter_ | we want the best people more than we want the best projects |
| 23:16 | tch__ | walter_, exactly, but right now best proposal == best people, the second filter would be when there are repeated good proposals |
| 23:17 | walter_ | yes... that is a problem |
| 23:17 | we have to do the best we can | |
| 23:17 | some people are going to be disappointed (including me) | |
| 23:17 | tch__ | walter_, should we prioritize repeated good proposals candidate over not-so good not-repeated candidates? |
| 23:17 | (was that complex to explain) | |
| 23:18 | walter_ | tch__, yes... good people are the #1 criteria IMHO |
| 23:18 | tch__ | walter_, ok, agreed |
| 23:18 | walter_ | so the immediate task is trying to find a few more mentors |
| 23:18 | then we can reconvene after the 15th and make the hard decisions | |
| 23:18 | agreed? | |
| 23:19 | wishes we could have some of the GCI kids be mentors | |
| 23:19 | tch__ | +! |
| 23:19 | +1 | |
| 23:20 | walter_, SL should insist for the next summit | |
| 23:20 | walter_ | I made a pitch this year |
| 23:20 | lawyers | |
| 23:21 | tch__ | walter_, not familiar with the terminology |
| 23:21 | ;) | |
| 23:21 | walter_ | OK |
| 23:21 | heads off to recruit mentos | |
| 23:22 | mentors | |
| 23:22 | tch__ | idem, |
