GSoC 2020 call for ideas

[Ekaterina Gerasimova]

Dear GNOME hackers,

It's that time of the year again: Google Summer of Code is
approaching. We need your help in creating a list of great project
ideas. It's essential that we have a well-prepared ideas page by
Friday, January 31st.

So what should you do? Please visit the ideas page [1] and enter your
project ideas under the "Untriaged Ideas" section.

 * Discuss your ideas with designers in #gnome-design to get their
input and plan collaboration, especially if your ideas are related to
one of the core GNOME modules. If you are not sure who to speak to,
start with Allan Day (aday).
 * Consider manageable ideas consisting of multiple smaller features
that share a common theme, in addition to single large feature ideas.
See the information for mentors page [2] for more on preferred project
formats and other mentoring resources.

If you are interested in being a mentor this year, please join
mentors-list [3] to receive future communications about GNOME's
participation in GSoC, including the information about important
deadlines. If you have any questions, please feel welcome to reach out
to us at soc-adm...@gnome.org


Thanks,
GNOME GSoC Admins

Hi all,

if you are planning to volunteer, it would be great if you could
register this week to help us order the right number of t-shirts in
the right sizes: http://registration.guadec.org

Even if you're not volunteering, it does help with planning if you
register early!

Travel Assistance for GUADEC 2015

[Ekaterina Gerasimova]

The GNOME Foundation can offer travel sponsorship to individuals who
want to attend GUADEC and need financial assistance.

We are happy to announce that the Travel Committee is ready to receive
applications for sponsorships to attend to GUADEC 2015.

Application deadline: 2015-06-22. Send in your applications now, do
not wait until the deadline.

The instructions are at https://wiki.gnome.org/Travel

Some additional comments:
* Any information you send to the Travel Committee will be private.
* Asking for sponsorship *does not* guarantee that you will be sponsored.
* A good application with good information will be processed faster.
* If you are offered help with accommodation, the Travel Committee
will book your accommodation. You should state that you need
accommodation, and leave the cost blank.
* Always choose the most economical option whenever possible. People
who need travel sponsorship should look for the best price (i.e.
through a service like kayak.com). If the Travel Committee finds a
cheaper price, that will be the price considered during the
evaluation.
* No personal emails. Keep travel-committee CCed on all of your
replies. Neglecting to do this will delay your application.
* How to get to Gothenburg: https://www.guadec.org/travel/
* If you are a Foundation member, you should mention it in your
application. Preference will be given to Foundation members.
* If your paper submission was accepted to be presented at GUADEC, you
should mention it in your application.  Preference will be given to
speakers.
* If you are in the Google Summer of Code program or Outreachy/OPW (as
student or mentor) you must mention it in your application. Preference
will be given to GSoC or OPW interns and mentors. OPW and GSoC
students usually get a percentage of their GUADEC expenses covered by
their sponsoring organisation.
* The Travel committee should confirm that we have received your
application within 2-3 days. After that, we will process them
together. So please do not panic if we take some time to respond with
the status. Regardless of whether your application is accepted or
rejected, you will always receive a response.

You can find us in the #travel channel at irc.gnome.org.

I would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that
everyone, and especially sponsored attendees, is encouraged to
volunteer during GUADEC: https://www.guadec.org/volunteer/

 Oh that's great - thanks Fred. Is there a bug or some other place
 where the license update is being tracked? We'll need a way to record
 the consent of the original authors, if I'm not mistaken.

 There's no tracking for that, but yes there should be.

When re-licensing documentation, the docs team usually files a bug
with a relicense patch attached. All the original authors are then
asked to sign off this patch and re-upload it.

For an example, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703238

 There seems to be some objections to removing some of the more
 in-depth jhbuild documentation.  I think overall this is a little
 confusing, they are also unmaintained.  BuildGnome is maintained and
 also has been converted to Mallard.

https://wiki.gnome.org/HowDoI/Jhbuild is the one that seems to be
preferred by most docs newcomers and team members so from my point of
view it would be good that the final result resembles it and works
just as well.

jhbuilding applications and even the Shell is not a task which is
restricted to newcomers, so it seems a bit odd to chose the GNOME love
namespace for the final result.

If the myriad of the jhbuild pages is reduced to only one, it would be
good if redirects are added at the old locations.

 I would like to propose that BuildGnome be the canonical documentation
 for people trying to setup a build.   Any other documentation should
 be retired and/or should be merged into the jhbuild main line
 documentation for advanced users.  If people want, they can put in
 recipes or links to other documentation.  For instance, for Arch
 Linux, the arch wiki has a jhbuild reference on how to get it going.


 I would like to start removing the confusion when trying to create
 jhbuild.  An easy experience for newcomers mean a better likelihood of
 casual volunteers being able to come in and start working on at least
 the simple stuff.

I have helped a number of docs newcomers set up jhbuild and it is
usually not an easy experience which is why we recommend running
Continuous in Boxes, if at all possible (which isn't always the case).

 So Proposal is: https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeLove/BuildGnome

 is the only documentation on wiki.gnome.org, the rest gets retired and
 merged into jhbuild documentation.

Thanks for looking at this!

 the desire to keep Jhbuild as a somewhat generic tool. However, I

 and Jhbuild for everyone else) couldn't be satisfied by structuring
 the manual according to audience.

 I believe this is no longer a problem; when I tried to merge the
 by-then new BuildGnome page into the manual, and converting it to
 Mallard, the primary problem was of license incompatibility between
 the contents from the wiki and the existing manual.

The wiki is unlicensed as far as I can see from the pages and the ©
GNOME Project notice is invalid as well. This is a long term problem
which will be challenging to fix, to say the least. The same jumping
through hoops will need to be done to move the content off the wiki as
you are doing for the old manual.

 Hi,

 Hi,

 At some rare occasions, especially after the string freeze, translation
 commits are pushed when rolling a tarball for making a new release.
 Since the commit for the release should be pushed only when 'make
 distcheck' has succeeded, there can be a push conflict and the
 maintainer have to repeat the process (sometimes several times).

 I think it would be nice to send mails on gnome-i18n and gnome-doc-list
 to explain that commits should not be pushed during the release days. If
 a translation or documentation commit is important, the maintainers can
 anyway be contacted on IRC to know if the commit can be pushed.

 I think there is no equivalent of 'svn lock' for git, so sending a mail
 is a solution.

 Bonus point is to add a warning on l10n.gnome.org, but it is more work.

 What do you think?

 +1.

 Is it too rare to care about this problem?

 I don't think so but being a maintainer for years, you'll learn to do
 `git push origin master` first always. :)

As someone who makes releases, I always prefer to have the latest
translation in the release, but I understand that running a distcheck
on some of the larger projects can take a long time.

From a documentation point of view, it doesn't make sense to block
pushes for a whole day, especially as some maintainers release very
late. Have you considered dropping an email to
gnome-doc-l...@gnome.org and gnome-i...@gnome.org lists before running
the distcheck? I found communicating with translators to be very
effective and the docs team would prefer communication over a ban.

 2. projects.gnome.org's migration to wiki.gnome.org.

 The projects.gnome.org website is currently being migrated to the following
 places:

 GNOME Apps: https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps
 GNOME Projects: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects

 Both pages are currently under construction. Maintainers and developers will
 now be able to modify their app / project page without the need of a git
 account

Don't all maintainers have to have a git account anyway? :)

 and most of all without the need to clone an huge repo like
 gnomeweb-wml. All these without losing some of the benefits of Git like the
 history of previous changes and a diff between the various page changes
 themselves.

When you document how to lock down individual pages to prevent random
people from from editing them, please send the link to the mailing
lists as it is moderately complicated if one has not done it before.
