11 2013-10-25T11:18:23 <ThomasWaldmann> hi ananasova ;)
12 2013-10-25T11:19:17 <ThomasWaldmann> ananasova: do you think an instance variable could avoid the concurrency problems of a global?
13 2013-10-25T11:39:33 <ananasova> ThomasWaldmann: yep, it does. here is an update to cr -> https://codereview.appspot.com/13274046/
14 2013-10-25T11:40:18 <ananasova> hi ThomasWaldmann :)
15 2013-10-25T11:42:45 <ananasova> ThomasWaldmann: what are your impressions after such a long trip to US?
16 2013-10-25T12:10:31 <ThomasWaldmann> well, aside from that stupid government shutdown and its collateral damage, it was quite nice :)
17 2013-10-25T12:10:44 <ThomasWaldmann> esp. meeting lots of other foss devs at mentor summit
18 2013-10-25T12:18:33 <ananasova> sounds great :)
19 2013-10-25T12:18:48 <ananasova> i always hear contradictory opinions about US
20 2013-10-25T12:34:55 *** dave_largo
21 2013-10-25T13:00:01 <ThomasWaldmann> ananasova: well, you can also hear them from me :D
22 2013-10-25T13:01:51 <ThomasWaldmann> and even our german chancellor now noticed it, now that she is personally affected
23 2013-10-25T13:05:01 * ananasova is having Python for Computational Sciences class now :)
24 2013-10-25T13:06:36 <ThomasWaldmann> cool :)
25 2013-10-25T13:22:02 <ThomasWaldmann> Just a quick reminder that for those organizations interested in participating in Google Code-in 2013 [0] the deadline to apply is in 5 days - Monday, October 28th at 19:00 UTC.
26 2013-10-25T13:22:14 <ThomasWaldmann> (from stephanie)
27 2013-10-25T13:23:30 <ThomasWaldmann> ananasova: dreimark: eSyr: jhermann: ronny: sharky93: spy__: sunu: TheSheep: waldi: xiaq: xorAxAx: ^^
28 2013-10-25T13:23:44 <xorAxAx> and tasks are needed until then?
29 2013-10-25T13:23:57 <ThomasWaldmann> gci is a program similar to GSOC, but much smallers tasks / lower risk
30 2013-10-25T13:24:09 <ThomasWaldmann> iirc 4 or 5 in each category
31 2013-10-25T13:24:43 <ThomasWaldmann> but the main question is who wants to help with preparing all the tasks and also mentoring the young students later
32 2013-10-25T13:25:05 <ThomasWaldmann> somehow due to mentor summit and pycon.* we are rather late with preparing this this year
33 2013-10-25T13:26:20 <ThomasWaldmann> https://code.google.com/p/google-code-in/wiki/GCIMentorInfo2013
34 2013-10-25T13:27:32 <xorAxAx> and https://www.google-melange.com/gci/events/google/gci2013
35 2013-10-25T13:28:23 <ThomasWaldmann> The most important part of your application is the tasks list, be sure to have at least 4 tasks in each of the 5 categories on your app. The Task list gives you an opportunity to think about how your org would break up tasks into bite size chunks for students to work on (sometimes this can be a bit tricky). This is also a great way for orgs to see how easy/difficult it will be for them to come up with tasks for the contest. Orgs should
36 2013-10-25T13:28:47 <ThomasWaldmann> so, 20 now and 75 later
37 2013-10-25T13:29:31 <ThomasWaldmann> (now -> until monday)
38 2013-10-25T13:31:37 <ThomasWaldmann> btw, no cash prices for students, just certificates, tshirts, trips to google hq.
39 2013-10-25T13:32:16 <ThomasWaldmann> so that'll mean less students, but it'll have especially the ones who love code and open source, to that's good.
40 2013-10-25T13:32:48 <xorAxAx> and those who love open source and dont code
41 2013-10-25T13:33:42 <ThomasWaldmann> (btw, i included this years gsoc students intentionally when asking for mentors for gci - you all know the code, so you can upgrade now from student to mentor - google loves this and we too :)
42 2013-10-25T13:34:11 <ThomasWaldmann> ah, yeah, right, not only about code, but also other tasks
43 2013-10-25T13:43:49 <ThomasWaldmann> https://moinmo.in/GoogleCodeIn2013 < if you like to help, add yourself there, quick :)
44 2013-10-25T13:44:30 <ThomasWaldmann> (we need quite some people or we'll run out of time until monday)
45 2013-10-25T14:42:57 <sunu> ThomasWaldmann: I can help after November 18th. But don't have much time before that. :(

52 2013-10-25T16:29:05 <ananasova> i'd like to help on gci, though not sure about my input. nevertheless reading the program details
53 2013-10-25T17:27:46 *** greg_f
54 2013-10-25T17:33:27 <ThomasWaldmann> sunu: ok, thanks. i suggest ad-hoc helping then as (iirc) we need to put the mentors into the task definition. or into new tasks we define then.
55 2013-10-25T17:35:07 <ThomasWaldmann> ananasova: if you like, you can help preparing tasks. we need lots of little tasks. there is a lot to do in moin2, but it needs to somehow formally defined (and we can't just say "just look into our issue tracker" - although we can refer to the issue tracker from within a task)
56 2013-10-25T17:36:21 <ThomasWaldmann> ananasova: it can even be about improving stuff that you are aware of that are somehow left over from your gsoc project (but shouldn't be too hard / take too much time)
57 2013-10-25T17:37:50 * ThomasWaldmann likes gci, it is much less critical than gsoc. if a task doesn't work, the student just tries another one (and the task can be tried by another student).
