15:04.22MatthewWilkeshi thebolt
15:04.42JordiGHMatthewWilkes: I don't think that's a very valid analogy. Unlike the shop, many of us can probably figure out how to compile brlcad. I prefer channels without an active topic police, even though I recognise this has one.
15:05.21MatthewWilkesJordiGH: One of the aims of these programs is to get people involved with the participating communities, not to create a newbie-friendly helpdesk
15:05.44MatthewWilkesIt's our responsibility to not let our helpfulness undermine that
15:05.46JordiGHSure, but there isn't a GSoC going on right now, and getting people involved may help if you at least help them compile it.
15:06.07MatthewWilkesJordiGH: There's a GCI though.
15:07.13JordiGHAh, I see.
15:07.21JordiGHSo this is a task specifically about how to do it.

15:39.01JordiGHbrlcad: Out of curiousity, is the issue that the newest gcc is more strict about what kind of code it accepts?
15:39.18JordiGHThe gcc devs keep adding more and more checks for things that should have never compiled but did.
15:40.10brlcadJordiGH: yeah, as of around the gcc 4.6 line there's been infrastructure in place for doing much better checks for problems and they've continued to add them through the 4.7 and 4.8 line
15:40.26brlcadespecially turning up optimization and warning flags
15:40.45JordiGHI'm really liking how gcc is turning out.
15:40.51brlcadwe compile strict and clean with nearly every warning enabled, so that task aims to head up any that we haven't seen yet
15:42.05brlcadthere was a great session at the mentor summit where I talked some about that and other code hardening resources
15:42.36JordiGHIsn't hardened code also more brittle? ;-)
15:42.40JordiGHI suppose not if you anneal it...
15:42.44JordiGHForged code!

16:17.57Guest64050i would like to know how to understand the concept of gsoc???
16:18.17Guest64050any help is of great importance
16:19.09Guest64050pls
16:20.34JordiGHWhat do you want to know?????????
16:20.44JordiGHpls
16:21.11Guest64050i went through some of the projects
16:21.26Guest64050but could not understand
16:21.54Guest64050which of them were of my level to understand
16:22.31JordiGHSo you want to know what projects you could participate in? What are your current interests? Beyond programming languages, what do you like to do with computers?
16:23.22Guest64050i like to explore new softwares but have never been into the source code of those
16:23.38JordiGHWhich software do you like to explore?
16:24.14Guest64050i am new to linux operating system
16:24.32Guest64050so in a way i am new to the open soyrce softwares
16:24.37Guest64050*source
16:25.08JordiGHWell, there is free software that runs on other operating systems.
16:25.24JordiGHYou don't have to run a free OS to have some experience with free software.
16:25.35Guest64050i have used openoffice
16:25.41Guest64050for example
16:26.02JordiGHDo you like it? Do you want to improve it?
16:26.03Guest64050but its functionality compared to libreoffice is lesser
16:26.12*** join/#gsoc David_Honeynet (~davidw@bornite.isotoma.com)
16:26.36JordiGHLibreOffice is a fork of it. Some people didn't like how OpenOffice.org was being developed, so they took the code and modified it their own way.
16:27.53Guest64050actually as per how i found there were certain flaws that came while viewing the presentations compared to libreoffice
16:28.19Guest64050like missing of certain components of the slides
16:28.24JordiGHSo Libreoffice is written in Java and C++, if memory serves. It's also quite a large codebase. Do you think you would like to help them make it better?

16:29.18Guest64050the best part is that i have been learning java for quite a time now and i am quite proficient in it
16:29.28JordiGHDo you know much about Microsoft Office formats? A lot of the problems that LibreOffice has viewing presentations stem from interpreting those formats. The old binary .doc, .xls, and .ppt formats are documented online, but it's very common now to see OOXML formats instead.
16:29.29Guest64050that interests me
16:30.06Guest64050i have to go through it deeper to understand it
16:30.30Guest64050i am familiar with .doc. .ppt .xls
16:30.43JordiGHGuest64050: If you are optimistic that GSoC 2013 happening, you might want to get involved with LibreOffice right now and see what sort of things they need help with. You should start with acquiring the source and compiling it yourself.
16:31.31JordiGHGuest64050: You are? You know how the binary format is laid out? It's actually very interesting. It's based on implementing a wrapper format that sort of looks like a filesystem and parts of it (text, images, cells) are sort of like files.
16:31.36Guest64050i also want to understand about the bug detection and debugging part in a software
16:32.06Guest64050nd also about the patching method
16:33.12Guest64050i have been working currently in binary file system in my undergraduation course
16:33.18Guest64050in java

16:34.02JordiGHIn India or Pakistan, probably.
16:34.51Guest64050i am a 2nd year student of B.E.computer science from BITS Pilani Goa India
16:35.32JordiGHI wonder why we seem to get far fewer grad students doing GSoC. Too busy not doing their theses, I guess.
16:36.28Guest64050well multitasking is prominent in Indian students!!!
16:36.28Guest64050i guess
16:37.13Guest64050can you pls tell me about the bug tracking and patching part in a software?
16:37.43Guest64050which way to go through the source code??
16:38.32JordiGHAll software? Or just Libreoffice?
16:38.41JordiGHIf it's the former, that's a pretty tall order.
16:39.37Guest64050well in general....cause i have came across a project called BuildBot and that interests me
16:40.14JordiGHI can't answer that better than Wikipedia can: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bug_tracking
16:40.25JordiGHhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patch
16:41.24Guest64050ok i wil go through it...if i need any more help can i approach you again??
16:41.49JordiGHI'd rather not be specifically the one who will guide you through everything, but you're free to ask here again.
16:42.16Guest64050ok thanks for the help

16:44.35Guest64050ok but if i want to contribute to the open source society on my interest based project

16:45.16Guest64050ya ok
16:45.27Guest64050thank you so much for your help
16:45.30JordiGHThere isn't really a society, by the way.
16:45.34JordiGHSure, no problem.
16:46.09DevJHow many tasks you guys have done?
16:47.10JordiGHSo how did GSoC get so famous in India?
16:47.16JordiGHI find this so interesting. We have such a large amount of interested Indian students, and I feel a great cultural gap with respect to them.
16:47.28JordiGHAs if they were speaking a completely different language, even though it's English.
16:48.02gevaertshas doubts about being familiar with doc, xls, and ppt, but needing help with bug trackers
16:48.25MatthewWilkesgevaerts: We all did.
16:48.34JordiGHI don't think I was able to communicate much of value to that person.
16:48.55MatthewWilkes(S)he meant (s)he'd used those file types before
16:49.09gevaertsYes, likely
16:49.11nihathraelJordiGH: I feel the same, I think a lot of universities endorse it in india
16:49.22nihathraelin contrast to western unis where it really doesn't fit the schedule at all
16:50.53JordiGHnihathrael: I get a little... annoyed? burnt out? by these scores of Indians, but there's talent to be found everywhere, and I try to stick by my maxim that motivation and dedication are more important than knowledge or intelligence.
16:52.10nihathraelyea I know what you mean, it takes a lot of energy to explain stuff to people with a completely different background. It can be quite rewarding, but obviously also very frustrating
16:54.04gsathyaJordiGH: There's lots of reasons for GSoC being famous in India.
16:54.10JordiGHOne thing I don't get (are you Indian yourself?) are the apparent levels of politeness. "Sir, how do i participate in GSoC??? pls respond"
16:55.00JordiGHReminds me of http://xkcd.com/75/
16:55.08gsathyaJordiGH: For starters, interns in India get paid less than 1/5th of what GSoC pays. Remote work, supposed brand value, et all help.
16:55.46JordiGHgsathya: Sure, but this is true of most of the world outside Angloamerica and Europe. Why India?
16:56.05gsathyaChina's blocked GSoC?
16:56.11JordiGHOh, it has?
16:56.59nihathraelwe haven't seen any chinese students/applications, but neither have we seen exactly many contributions in general from china
16:57.00gsathyaI don't know. I'm just being silly. But, we do have a lot of highly competitive engineering students here.
