| 19:22 |

I submitted our application for GCI |

| 19:22 |
samsongoddy |
great |
| 19:22 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
Hello everyone |
| 19:23 |
walterbender |
See https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Google_Code_In_2016 |
| 19:23 |
|
Once we know, I will be more aggressive about recruiting mentors |
| 19:23 |
|
we have some very strong mentors already and three coordinators |
| 19:23 |
|
and lots of tasks |
| 19:23 |
|
but we can always use more |
| 19:24 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
I have some ideas, which I'd like to share |
| 19:24 |
walterbender |
I am looking forward to it. I hope we are accepted |
| 19:24 |
|
iamutkarshtiwari, please add ideas to the wiki page |
| 19:24 |
|
#link https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Google_Code_In_2016 |
| 19:24 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
The idea is not exactly related to GCI tasks |
| 19:25 |
|
but something we could make use as a GCI task |
| 19:25 |
walterbender |
iamutkarshtiwari, OK |
| 19:25 |
|
please share |
| 19:25 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
Thank you :) |
| 19:25 |
|
I recently came a across a project under KDE know as GCompris |
| 19:25 |
walterbender |
iamutkarshtiwari, we know it well |
| 19:26 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
It works on similar kind of educational activities as we do.. |
| 19:26 |
|
Yup |
| 19:26 |
walterbender |
we have many gcompris activities in Sugar |
| 19:26 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
I was thinking, if we could talk with them and port some of the activities which are not yet incorporated in Sugar |
| 19:26 |
|
oh.. |
| 19:27 |
walterbender |
iamutkarshtiwari, there may be new ones since we last ported them |
| 19:27 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
The ports can make up for some cool GCI tasks.. |
| 19:27 |
walterbender |
yes |
| 19:27 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
Yup |
| 19:27 |
walterbender |
the first task would be to identify which ones have not been ported |
| 19:27 |
|
then do the ports |
| 19:28 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
I'll task to their maintainer and ask them if they could provide a list of the latest activities they have added |
| 19:28 |
|
When was it we added the last port to Sugar? |
| 19:28 |
walterbender |
iamutkarshtiwari, maybe check on activities.sugarlabs.org |
| 19:29 |
|
anything else re GCI? |
| 19:29 |
|
I have a few more updates |
| 19:29 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
It might be quite tough to different original SL activities from GCompris ports :/ |
| 19:29 |
|
differentiate* |
| 19:30 |
walterbender |
could be but we won;'t know without investigating |
| 19:30 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
I haven't browsed our activity store much. Is there any specific section for GCompris ports? |
| 19:30 |
|
Ok I'll look into that |
| 19:30 |
walterbender |
iamutkarshtiwari, I recall there is a tag for gcompris activities |
| 19:30 |
|
or a collection |
| 19:30 |
iamutkarshtiwari |
oh.. Thanks :) |
| 19:30 |
walterbender |
so it may be easy to check |
| 19:31 |
|
#topic i18n news |
| 19:31 |

Claudia__ |
I will follow up with you in a separated email |
| 19:32 |
walterbender |
thx |
| 19:32 |
Claudia__ |
they have a women forum, so the potential to attract those mentors could be great |
| 19:32 |
walterbender |
sounds great |
| 19:33 |
|
