02:30.04 | Dark_Shikari | that doesn't really make sense |
02:30.10 | Catfish_Man | creek23: small projects are extremely unlikely to have 20 mentors :P |
02:30.10 | Dark_Shikari | small groups don't have the resources to handle tons of slots ;) |
02:31.10 | creek23 | not talking about student slots |
02:31.44 | Dark_Shikari | org slots? |
02:31.48 | Dark_Shikari | well obviously small projects get more org slots |
02:31.49 | Dark_Shikari | there are _more of them_ |
02:31.50 | creek23 | meant something like: out of 150 orgs, 90 are small orgs |
02:32.24 | creek23 | I see. |
02:32.28 | ojwb | well, it probably depends what you mean by "small", but I suspect that's not a long way off the mark |

02:37.35 | ojwb | how do you define "less popular"? |
02:37.56 | ojwb | Ubuntu seems pretty unpopular right now... |
02:37.59 | Dark_Shikari | lol |
02:38.28 | creek23 | ojwb: you still know Ubuntu, right? |
02:38.37 | Conan_Kudo | basically, unknown projects |
02:38.39 | Conan_Kudo | like mine |
02:38.43 | ojwb | just did a quick count, and using one of the later slot allocation counts from last year, 88 orgs had 5 or fewer slots |
02:38.48 | ojwb | which is one measure of "small" |
02:38.53 | ojwb | and an easy one to count |
02:39.02 | Catfish_Man | creek23: part of the point of GSoC is to get students involved in existing open source communities |
02:39.07 | Dark_Shikari | and that doesn't count small orgs with umbrella organizations |
02:39.08 | ojwb | indeed |
02:39.14 | Catfish_Man | if the project is so small nobody has ever heard of it, is there a community to be involved in? |
02:39.27 | jcreigh | is there an algorithm for slot allocation, or is it just done on an ad-hoc basis? |
02:39.33 | Conan_Kudo | probably ad-hoc |
02:39.37 | ojwb | a successful experience is the real aim |
02:39.42 | Dark_Shikari | jcreigh: in general projects get what they want |
02:39.52 | Dark_Shikari | later on, projects that don't need as many slots give some up |
02:39.55 | Dark_Shikari | and other slots who need more get extra |
02:39.57 | ojwb | there's a document describing how slot allocation works |
02:40.27 | edsiper | ojwb, where ? |
02:40.37 | ojwb | !slots |
02:40.37 | socinfo | "slots" is http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/studentallocations |
02:40.47 | ojwb | that's probably it |
02:41.04 | edsiper | reading page |
02:41.43 | jcreigh | okay, so it's basically how many applications, and then tweaked from there according to some sensible guidelines. |
02:42.00 | ojwb | yes |
02:43.02 | ojwb | if this is your first time, think hard about how many slots you can realistically handle |
02:43.20 | ojwb | it's better to take a slot or too fewer and concentrate on doing a better job with the students you have |
02:43.39 | ojwb | and from a selfish point of view, if you do badly, you're less likely to be accepted in future years |
02:44.04 | ojwb | actually, think hard about it even if this is your 6th time |
02:44.10 | ojwb | but I'd hope you know that by then |
02:45.04 | Conan_Kudo | realistically, I'm hoping for just 1-2 slots |
02:45.17 | Conan_Kudo | with as few mentors as my project has, there is no way we could do more |
02:45.24 | ojwb | if it is as past years, you'll get at least 2 if accepted |
02:45.33 | ojwb | if you want 2 that is |
02:45.36 | Dark_Shikari | and if you have extra, you can give up extra |
02:45.52 | Conan_Kudo | really, I just want two |
02:46.05 | Dark_Shikari | as I said, if you have any more than 2, you can give them away |
02:46.11 | Dark_Shikari | so no issue. |
02:46.12 | Conan_Kudo | maybe next year, my project could aim for 3 |
02:46.15 | Conan_Kudo | ahh ok |
02:47.16 | Conan_Kudo | using more slots next year depends entirely on the number of available mentors next year |
02:47.39 | Conan_Kudo | I'm trying to maintain 1-1 mentor-slot |
02:47.43 | Conan_Kudo | which seems optimal for now |
02:49.50 | Dark_Shikari | 1-1 is a good idea generally |
02:49.58 | Dark_Shikari | unless a mentor has a _lot_ of time or very self-motivated students |

02:50.49 | scorche | 2-1 is generally a good idea too ;) |
02:51.08 | Conan_Kudo | or if you have a lot of easy projects, then you can stretch it a bit |
02:52.50 | Conan_Kudo | Half of the student project ideas are rated less than 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 |
02:53.44 | Conan_Kudo | one project is rated 9 out of 10 |
02:53.52 | Conan_Kudo | another is rated 8 out of 10 |
02:54.12 | Conan_Kudo | the rest above 4 are rated 6 out of 10 |
02:55.12 | ojwb | you may find the students tackling the easier projects require more mentoring work |
02:55.33 | ojwb | certainly I wouldn't assume anything about the time required from how hard you rate the project |
02:55.39 | Conan_Kudo | of course not |
02:56.23 | Conan_Kudo | one idea is considered easy to implement, but would take a long time to put it together |
02:56.48 | Conan_Kudo | in case you're wondering, that idea is the development of an online IME plugin |
02:56.59 | *** join/#gsoc thiagoss (~thiagoss@189.71.44.115) |
02:57.03 | ojwb | that isn't what I meant |
02:57.25 | Conan_Kudo | well, i'm not quite finished explaining |
02:57.34 | Dark_Shikari | it's like the olympics |
02:57.36 | Dark_Shikari | 7.5/10! |
02:57.38 | Dark_Shikari | 8.5/10! |
02:57.46 | Conan_Kudo | implementing something like that requires knowledge and skill with handling inputs and outputs |
02:57.53 | ojwb | some students need a lot more mentoring because you need to teach them a lot of the skills |
02:58.00 | Conan_Kudo | right |
02:58.02 | Dark_Shikari | Conan_Kudo: well I would say there are three dimensions to difficulty |
02:58.15 | Dark_Shikari | 1) level of skill required in some particular categor(y|ies) |
02:58.18 | Dark_Shikari | 2) amount of work required |
02:58.24 | ojwb | there's a lot of experience difference between a 1st year and a post grad student |
02:58.24 | Dark_Shikari | 3) difficulty |
02:58.32 | ojwb | and some have contributed to open source already |
02:59.04 | Dark_Shikari | ojwb: from experience, I would say there is basically no correlation between age of student and quality of student or skill of student. |
02:59.09 | Dark_Shikari | then again I only have a few data points. |
02:59.14 | Conan_Kudo | I don't know if I'd agree with #3 because that's a bit ambiguous |

02:59.40 | Dark_Shikari | Conan_Kudo: well what I mean is for example |
02:59.51 | Dark_Shikari | 1) a project might require special skills (e.g. assembly coding, kernel hacking) |
02:59.58 | Dark_Shikari | 2) how much actual work you have to do to finish it |
03:00.01 | Dark_Shikari | 3) how "tricky" the project is |
03:00.05 | Conan_Kudo | ahh |
03:00.07 | Dark_Shikari | you can have a project that requires lots of work, but isn't "tricky" |
03:00.08 | Conan_Kudo | I agree then |
03:00.15 | Dark_Shikari | and you can have a project that is very tricky, but doesn't require that much work |
03:00.18 | Conan_Kudo | right |
03:00.26 | Conan_Kudo | the IME one has 1 and 3 in spades |
03:00.36 | ojwb | Dark_Shikari: well, there's certainly a lot of experience difference between students |
03:00.40 | Dark_Shikari | ojwb: oh yes |
03:00.45 | Dark_Shikari | it's just not correlated with age too much =p |
03:00.53 | ojwb | the ones I've noticed were across the age range |
03:00.54 | Dark_Shikari | Conan_Kudo: we have a project that has 1, 2, and 3 in spades |
03:01.07 | Conan_Kudo | oh? |
03:01.12 | Dark_Shikari | It's so scary that it has $10-20k bounty money on it and nobody has done it yet =p |
03:01.27 | Dark_Shikari | ... including myself |
03:01.33 | Dark_Shikari | so probably nobody will pick it. |
03:01.37 | Conan_Kudo | O.O |
03:01.38 | Dark_Shikari | But maybe we can use it to scare people |
03:02.04 | Conan_Kudo | Nani? ¿Qué? What is it? |
03:02.10 | ojwb | things are often less scary if you don't know they are supposed to be hard |
03:02.26 | ojwb | so just give it a 3.5/10 rating and see |
03:02.36 | Dark_Shikari | lol |
03:02.42 | Dark_Shikari | ojwb: well we do have one advantage for that particular project |
03:02.48 | Dark_Shikari | someone already wrote a mostly-working patch for it |
03:02.58 | Dark_Shikari | its just that they were such horrific programmers that the patch was unusable garbage. |

04:11.51 | Conan_Kudo | but because of the way Cygwin works, there is a lot of weirdness when dealing with files |
04:12.28 | Conan_Kudo | one example is file locking |
04:12.41 | Conan_Kudo | in Windows, the Win32 API mandates file locking |
04:12.55 | Conan_Kudo | POSIX only advises to use file locking |
04:13.02 | Conan_Kudo | some programs don't handle this very well |
04:13.14 | jcreigh | What do you mean, it mandates it? |
04:13.19 | jcreigh | open files are automatically locked? |
04:13.21 | Conan_Kudo | yes |
04:13.47 | jcreigh | hmm. I've sometimes thought that would be a more reasonable default. |
04:13.53 | Conan_Kudo | it is |
04:14.06 | Conan_Kudo | but I think the reason for that was networking |
04:14.26 | Conan_Kudo | you were never really sure who was accessing what, so by default POSIX doesn't mandate file locking |

04:15.07 | Conan_Kudo | even though Windows mandates file locking, it overlooks that with network shares |
04:15.12 | Conan_Kudo | for that reason |
04:15.23 | Dark_Shikari | windows file locking is blegh |
04:16.35 | jcreigh | blegh? |
04:17.32 | sreich2 | horrible |
04:18.02 | sreich2 | the worst idea ever of a file structure |
04:18.46 | sreich2 | files shouldn't be mandatorily locked. it should be up to the application to decide what it wants to do, and what it *should* do if and when the file changes |
04:20.01 | sreich2 | anyone who has programmed in linux for a short while will realize how much better it is without locking. i.e. recompiling doesn't require you to kill every process spawned from that binary |
04:20.12 | sreich2 | which is perfect for debugging purposes.. |
04:20.27 | Conan_Kudo | the funny thing is that NT itself is just like POSIX in that way |
04:20.46 | Conan_Kudo | it doesn't mandate locking files |
04:20.54 | Conan_Kudo | it delegates that to the API |
04:20.57 | sreich2 | and the windows file locking is very excessive too. i.e. if a file is opened somewhere, e.g. you can't open it in a text editor until it is closed |

04:21.53 | sreich2 | Conan_Kudo: really? that's interesting..at what level is it required? |
04:22.09 | Conan_Kudo | in the case of Windows NT |
04:22.17 | Conan_Kudo | win32k.dll is the one that specifies it, I believe |
04:23.21 | Gangahar | -? |
04:25.09 | Conan_Kudo | I'm a bit rusty on my NT architecture knowledge, but I think it works somewhat like this |
04:25.38 | jcreigh | so, in unix terms, that would be kind of like if the kernel didn't enforce something, but libc did? |
04:25.46 | Conan_Kudo | yeah |
04:26.22 | Conan_Kudo | win32k.dll is the DLL that tells NT kernel that the Win32 API exists and how to manage it in terms of NT's internal API |
04:26.39 | Conan_Kudo | from there, you have a whole bunch of other DLLs that link into it |
04:26.47 | Conan_Kudo | and that makes up the lowest level of Win32 API |
04:27.59 | Conan_Kudo | the reason the Win32 API mandates it is because it inherits from DOS |
04:28.35 | Conan_Kudo | all OSes that descend from DOS have this problem |
04:28.52 | sreich2 | is it actually DOS at it's core, or is that just gone now? |
04:28.56 | Conan_Kudo | that's gone |
04:29.06 | Conan_Kudo | but the DOS heritage (design choices and stuff) is still there |
04:29.10 | Ori_B | sreich2: that was the Win9x series |
04:29.19 | sreich2 | I see |
04:29.33 | sreich2 | why is it called win32? does this change to e.g. win64? |
04:29.50 | Ori_B | sreich2: because it's the successor of Win16 |
04:29.50 | Conan_Kudo | because the original API was called the WinAPI |
04:29.58 | Conan_Kudo | and that API was 16-bit |
04:30.03 | Ori_B | or.. yeah. Conan_Kudo has this covered better than I do :P |
04:30.08 | sreich2 | ah, creativity :) |

04:30.28 | sreich2 | albeit, inexperienced at best |
04:30.41 | Conan_Kudo | because the switch from 16-bit to 32-bit was such a big deal (a buzzword if there was one then), Microsoft adopted the monkier of Win32 for the 32-bit API |
04:30.44 | Ori_B | I'd like to think I've got reasonable experience :) |
04:31.17 | Conan_Kudo | and nicknamed the WinAPI the Win16 API |
04:31.18 | Dark_Shikari | and then they moved it to 64-bit |
04:31.21 | Dark_Shikari | and didn't change the variable names |
04:31.22 | Ori_B | sreich2: anyways, MS seems to be calling the 64-bit version of the API 'Win64' |
04:31.25 | Dark_Shikari | despite using hungarian notation |
04:31.26 | Ori_B | at least in some of their docs |
04:31.49 | Conan_Kudo | officially and formally, the "Windows API" refers to the 16-bit one |
04:31.57 | sreich2 | oh yeah. hungarian notation. I despise it now :) |
04:32.03 | Conan_Kudo | but informally and commonly, that is the 32-bit one |
04:32.21 | Conan_Kudo | the insanity with 64-bit is that the API didn't actually change all that much between 32-bit and 64-bit |
04:32.26 | Conan_Kudo | only datatype sizes |
04:32.46 | Conan_Kudo | a few functions here and there were dropped or reworked, but overall the API remained the same |
04:32.56 | sreich2 | how is that insane? |
04:33.09 | Dark_Shikari | Conan_Kudo: except that horrible horrible mangling of the ABI |

04:34.01 | Dark_Shikari | "let's pick a totally different ABI from every other OS, for NO REASON!" |
04:34.03 | sreich2 | but wouldn't this make it more painful for applications to run against it? |

04:36.30 | sreich2 | what do you mean, push it through as an ISO standard? |

04:46.23 | sreich2 | well..with the Linux kernel, when are they allowed to break it? whenever? when does it tend to occur? |
04:46.26 | Catfish_Man | kimelto: yeah... we basically don't ever get to break compat. The only exceptions are things like the 32->64 bit transition |
04:46.27 | Conan_Kudo | FreeBSD is the only project that I know of that has ABI stabilization down to a science |
04:46.40 | Ori_B | sreich2: it happens whenever a developer feels like it, more or less. |

04:47.26 | sreich2 | Conan_Kudo: haha |
04:47.36 | Catfish_Man | kimelto: in particular, the fragile base class problem is enormous amounts of suck for us |
04:47.43 | Ori_B | the Linux view is that the drivers should live in the tree whenever possible. |
04:47.44 | Catfish_Man | can't change ivar layouts, some of which were defined in like 1990 |
04:48.11 | Conan_Kudo | however, the application ABI is probably more stable than any other kernel->userland ABI |
04:48.17 | Ori_B | and that way the drivers get updated in lockstep. |
04:48.22 | Ori_B | yes; in Linux, userspace a |
04:48.26 | Ori_B | yes; in Linux, userspace ABI is sacred. |

10:25.06 | Ivanovic | talking is overrated anyway! |
10:25.06 | vips | storm?? |

10:25.29 | Ivanovic | the next storm is the announcement of accepted orgs |

10:26.10 | vips | on what basis students are selected? |
10:26.32 | Ivanovic | depends completely on the project that mentors! |
10:26.59 | Pragu | sorry to interrupt, that means the mentors pick the students? |
10:27.22 | Ivanovic | Pragu: almost |
10:27.22 | ojwb | well, the orgs do |
10:27.31 | Ivanovic | the mentors are part of the orgs |
10:27.32 | ojwb | it depends on the org exactly how |
10:27.44 | ojwb | but it's generally the admins with at least some input from the mentors |
10:27.47 | Ivanovic | but how the mentors are assigned to the students is a matter for the orgs |

10:29.20 | Pragu | i'm also new, btw vips sorry for interupting your questions |
10:29.42 | araujo | vips, people do talk here , sometimes just bit quiet around, and yes, soon storms will arrive :) |
10:29.46 | Ivanovic | things like "is the student able to work on his own" does matter but also "is the student able to communicate well with us" (really important!) |
10:30.17 | Ivanovic | though the selection criterias (and how they are weighted!) do vary from org to org |
10:31.23 | Pragu | students can apply starting the 29th right? |

10:51.09 | stavrob | hey guys. im looking for a gsoc project that is video/media/graphics related. I found one on the gstreamer website about implementing vdpau that looked perfect but it seems somebody else who already wrote a bit of it is applying for that |
10:51.16 | stavrob | anyone got any pointers? |
10:51.36 | skbohra_ | !anyone |
10:51.36 | socinfo | "anyone" is Instead of looking for mentors from specific projects here, you will likely get much better results by speaking to that mentoring organization themselves. You can find the org's contact info by clicking on their name in the list at: http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009 |
10:51.37 | Dark_Shikari | ffmpeg, x264, videolan |
10:51.56 | peppe | stavrob: try asking on gstreamer mailing lists or on its IRC channel (if it has one). if gstreamer is already "taken", consider applying for ffmpeg, or VLC, or mplayer... :) |
10:51.56 | *** join/#gsoc pkuhad (~paras@117.199.124.102) |
10:51.57 | Dark_Shikari | vdpau support has already been done in libavcodec, a gstreamer implementation will probably consist largely of copy-pasting C code |
10:52.39 | stavrob | Dark_Shikari: well its irrelevant anyway as someone else is already applying to do it |
10:53.41 | peppe | stavrob: if you fear that, be sure to have a plan B (and a plan C). you can submit up to twenty applications... |

15:43.17 | edsiper | Conan_Kudo, what's your org ? |

15:44.46 | Conan_Kudo | I suggested the name |
15:45.00 | Conan_Kudo | and since it was the only one not being used in its category at the time... we kept the name |
15:45.33 | edsiper | i'm from a spanish country, my org name is in english "monkey", i'm wondering why i didn't choose the spanish word: mono |
15:45.34 | Conan_Kudo | blinks |
15:45.50 | Conan_Kudo | maybe because that project exists? |
15:45.58 | edsiper | monkey was created on 2001 |

15:47.50 | Conan_Kudo | I think it's rated so high because of how deep the integration has to go |

15:57.11 | spectie | yep |
15:57.55 | Conan_Kudo | theoretically, if a student doesn't want help, mentors don't have to force help on to them |
15:58.11 | Conan_Kudo | but mentors need to be prepared to expect the student to need a lot of help |
15:58.19 | sreich | but they can force help if they want to ;-) |

19:16.54 | sreich | when could I expect to be requested for it? |

19:19.05 | danderson | so, somewhere between 26th April and 24th May. |
19:19.40 | danderson | on the 24th Google starts sending out initial payments, but you have to provide proof of enrollment and some tax form before you get the money |
