XSF Discussion - 2011-03-18

We're in.

yay

Next up, finding willing students...

is it that hard? :P

No idea.

some of my fellow students also want to apply for GSoC this year

at least I'm trying to push them to do so :)

Good :)

kev - was just looking it up - congrats

Thanks for doing the application :)

the hard part comes next

IMO

Yeah, we need a profile page done now.

I'm happy enough to do that if you want, I'm in free time now.

please do - today we are release 4 varieties of firefox 4 RC1

due to a security exploit discovered

Ok, let me look up my link id so you can give me permission to do so.

I will draft a blog post now tho

Sent in a PM.

i'm clicking the "please create your org now" link

:)

what org email did we use last year? gsoc@xmpp.org or me or ??

For students to use? gsoc@ would be sensible.

IMO.

it's for the org page

We can almost certainly change that later.

ok gsoc@xmpp.org

Either gsoc@ or jdev@ then, yes.

hmm, need to dig up xsf's mailing address

ah - it's on the contact page of the blog

putting my phone # until I can get one from peter

ok, how many slots?

Right now I'd request 6.

We can, I believe, modify this later in light of how many excellent proposals we get.

yea

ok, inviting you as admin

Received, will sort that out now.

cool

stpeter auto-invited because he was listed as backup org admin

Yep.

k, i'm turning back to dayjob - have some test devices that need work

i'll be lurking, just not working on gsoc stuff (after I push out blog post that is)

Sure - and the blog post can easily wait a few hours :)

this is just a "we are in!" mini post

longer one to follow after application page is done

ok, quick post done - back to work

Thanks bear.

quite an enlargement this year...from 150 accepted orgs to 175

wow - that's a lot of orgs

Yeah

416 applied.

I've just done a second pass of the org profile. Looks like Bear had already pretty much done it :)

http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2011/xsf should be public-facing, I think.

they rewrote the url as a redirect back to the 2011 home page

oh - I must have typo'd it

I see it now
