Re: [OLPC-GSoC] [sugar] Summer of Code update, meeting tomorrow 2100 UTC
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: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Code_chat_FAQ (also linked from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Code) Thanks to Chris and Chris for the transcripts from which this was pieced together! -Mel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: [sugar] Summer of Code update, meeting tomorrow 2100 UTC
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.

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.

Re: [sugar] Summer of Code update, meeting tomorrow 2100 UTC
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, -Mel Samuel Klein wrote: I'm moving this to the gsoc list, to which you should subscribe.

Re: [sugar] Summer of Code update, meeting tomorrow 2100 UTC
Mel and Samuel, Thanks for the quick reply! I've been keeping up pretty well with all of the info over at GSoC, so I'll just say that I'm up-to-date on that front. Also, I just joined the gsoc list at laptop.org. Surprised I didn't catch that one sooner.
