Are you sure about the public availability of the proposal? I was under the impression that all proposals are inherently private (i.e. only the students, the org admins and the org's mentors can see them). > I've already made a few small improvements to HelenOS. > lp:~wtachi/helenos/sleep implements bdsh/sleep and > lp:~wtachi/helenos/python3 makes a few scripts work with Python 3 as > well as Python 2. I intend to make another improvement or two by Friday. Thanks, we will definitely have a look at them. > There's one question I'd like to ask about your approach to GSoC.

Yeah, this was unfortunately the trend of our first participation in GSoC last year. There were, IMO, several cause of it: * students for some reason seemed to prefer 1:1 private communication; we are going to revert this trend and suppress this mode of communication this year unless absolutely necessary * part of the discussions took place on IRC; we would like to encourage open communication on our ML and IRC * two of our last year's students were from the same country, so we met in person a couple of times Jakub _______________________________________________ HelenOS-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/listinfo/helenos-devel
