XSF Discussion - 2010-03-18

ok, so much for me having a nice dull quiet summer ;)

XSF has been approved for GSoC - woot!

hehe

yep

I think that would be a great excuse for me to figure out how to post to the blog ;)

bear: I'm sending an into email to the jdev list

just to say "contact bear" :)

hehehe

email sent

just got a request to help mentor

heh

nice

bear: did we create a blog account for you?

So, do I do my normal job of demanding unreasonable things of the ord admin again this year? :)

heehee

Should we add TDG to PP and GTD for this year?

Would we do PP and GTD again?

TMA!!!

Quite

oh I finally parsed your messages :)

Oh, I hadn't realised you hadn't.

:)

The Definitive Guide, Pragmatic Programmer, Getting Things Done.

yep

took me a minute :)

hmm, I just figured out that I need to create yet another set of slides for IETF 77

Joys.

brb

For the record, if there are any projects without a clearly applicable mentor, I'd be game for doing it again.

Swift won't be putting up any projects.

Which is a shame, as I enjoy GSoC

stpeter - you may have setup a client - i'll look in my logs

heck kev - I just want to be able to use Swift - *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink*

stpeter: can someone with access to the xmpp.org main page add a nice big link to the 2010 GSoC XSF wiki page

the link in google's list of accepted orgs points to the main page

oh - I should file a bug

little remark : http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Jabber.org is old

it's a wiki, feel free to fix it

heck I'll just delete it

:)

simple redirect

another reason to roll stage live - the GSoC org setup is asking for an Atom feed url

I could work on that with the relevant folks tomorrow

cool

sorry for being all frantic - just realized that this is a long project so I need to calm down :)

it is

step one, don't panic :)

however, we do need to get the mentors lined up soon

yep

I would expect all Council members to vote on applications

3 have been flagged already

in fact it's more important to line up our app voters

we can always find mentors later

but we need to have a good idea of who might mentor

I also need to work on an application template

do we need that?

I suppose it would be helpful

it's listed as a required field in the org form

ah

hmm

perhaps life has changed since 2008 :)

anyway

I need to run

probably can just be basic form stuff

but I'll be back later

ttyl

yeah

it would make the voters' lives easier to have a template

so that we have more consistent answers

*nod*

For gsoc app votes, I suggest council and board.

We've let anyone who's volunteered to be a mentor do it at some points before, and that's ended up very strange.

council and board works for me
