Hi all We were not accepted for GSoC, even that they liked our ideas. We will do better next time.
See below for reasoning: 18:03] <@carols> hi openmandriva [18:03] <@carols> just a sec please while i read [18:03] <@carols> so just so you know, i get an SSL certificate problem on your ideas page [18:03] == censorydep [[email protected]] has joined #gsoc [18:04] <+openmandriva> cacert thing, yes, thanks [18:04] == Nilabhra [[email protected]] has joined #gsoc [18:04] <@carols> and then next is that the ideas page is not as lengthy or fleshed out as i would like [18:04] == Nilabhra [[email protected]] has left #gsoc [] [18:04] <+openmandriva> so the ideas are good, but the descriptions are not long/detailed enough? [18:05] <@carols> indeed [18:05] <+openmandriva> was it the only issue? [18:05] <@carols> also, you responded to the question about having folks vouch for you, but you didn't actually have a googler or a org that's participated before in the program. [18:05] <@carols> and yeah, your ideas page wasn't up to par :-( [18:05] == avsm [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: Leaving.] [18:05] == amras1_ [[email protected]] has joined #gsoc [18:06] == teepee_ [bc5c2134@gateway/web/freenode/ip.188.92.33.52] has quit [Quit: Page closed] [18:06] == fredy [~fredy@2001:648:2ffc:1225:a800:ff:fe12:113e] has quit [Excess Flood] [18:06] <@carols> that was the issue [18:06] <@carols> any other questions? [18:06] <+openmandriva> OK, so having a googler vouching and having more detailed ideas page would have made it through? [18:06] <@carols> maybe [18:06] <@carols> maybe not [18:06] <@carols> i can't make any guarantees :-) [18:06] == Smily [[email protected]] has joined #gsoc [18:06] <+openmandriva> I see [18:06] <@carols> we never know what the mix is going to be like [18:06] <+openmandriva> the size of the organization did not matter as I understand? [18:06] <@carols> but it certainly would have been much more in your favor [18:06] == aciid_ [[email protected]] has joined #gsoc [18:06] <@carols> nope, size of the org doesn't matter [18:07] <+openmandriva> ok, thank you [18:07] <@carols> you're welcome
