Re: [OLPC-GSoC] [sugar] Summer of Code update, meeting tomorrow 2100 UTC

2008-03-25 Thread Mel Chua
The chat log on Google Summer of Code from Saturday, for those who 
couldn't make it, is here, and answers what will probably be some of the 
more frequently asked questions on projects, mentoring, and what OLPC is 
looking for:

Thanks to Chris and Chris for the transcripts from which this was pieced 
together!

 I offered to clean up and post the notes if someone would email me a log 
 (I was on web chat on a borrowed computer, and don't have logs of my own 
 from the conversation).

 The offer still stands, so if someone has the raw log from the meeting 
 Saturday, please email me and I'll shine them up and ping the lists once 
 things are there in slightly more digestible format. I'm guessing at 
 least one person on these lists will have a log...

 Thanks,

 I'm moving this to the gsoc list, to which you should subscribe.  Most 
 of what you need to know is covered in the general GSoC FAQ.

 There is a log, I believe Mel was going to post it.  Thanks for the link 
 to your introduction.  I'm about to send out a brief update to everyone 
 on this list.

 Cheers,
 SJ

 Hi Samuel,

 Unfortunately I was unable to attend this meeting. Is there a log
 available of the discussion that took place?

 I am a prospective student of GSoC 2008 and am very interested in
 the mentorship offered by the OLPC association. Please find below a
 link to my introductory post:

 Dear all,

 We are participating in Google Summer of Code again this year,
 and now accepting applications from mentors.  We are holding the
 first of a series of quick discussions about SoC tomorrow
 (saturday) at 2100 UTC / 1700 EST in #olpc.  Please join us to
 share advice to share from SoC's past, find out about applying
 to be a mentor or student, or to satisfy your curiosity.

 GSoC is a particularly good way for local groups working on cool
 software in different countries to get involved intensely in
 OLPC work over the summer; you don't have to travel to
 participate, and members of existing teams can apply to take up
 a specific project under an OLPC mentor.

 There will be a SoC mailing list for people who want to discuss
 details (which the accepted mentors and interns can use to
 discuss their work); I'll post again when that is set up.

 In the meantime, if you know people who
 * are working at or with a school using XOs in the classroom
 * have been working on XO-related development, or have submitted
 a project proposal in the past
 * are currently thinking about how to promote OLPC or support
 its mission in their part of the world,
 * have been actively involved in your neighborhood OLPC interest
 group,

 Please encourage them to apply to either mentor (if they have
 skills and time to help students develop their own ideas) or be
 a GSoC student (if they have a software / activity idea of their
 own). 

 Mentorship applications are open now:
   http://code.google.com/soc/2008/mentor_step1.html

 Student applications will be open starting on Monday, for only
 one week.
   http://code.google.com/soc/2008/

 A few would-be students have contacted me by mail or phone to
 talk about potential GSoC projects; you are all welcome to do so
 over the coming week.

 Cheers,
 SJ
