joined #gsoc 20:19 <@carols> yes :-) 20:19 <@carols> firstly, the ideas page 20:19 -!- PioneerAxon|N4 [~AndChat49@117.227.82.24] has joined #gsoc 20:19 -!- LISPmob_Albert [~alberto@dync-35-161.ac.upc.edu] has quit
[Quit: Leaving] 20:19 <@carols> it's a bit hard to parse. 20:19 -!- cryos|laptop [~marcus@66-194-253-20.static.twtelecom.net]
has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 20:20 -!- LISPmob_Albert [~alberto@dync-35-161.ac.upc.es] has joined #gsoc 20:20 <@carols> i'd like to have prerequisite languages or knowledge,
potential mentors from your community, a clear summary, and then any supporting information 20:20 <@carols> not necessarily in that order, but certainly divided
up and easy to navigate 20:20 -!- Naeblis_2 [~Naeblis@120.59.155.4] has joined #gsoc 20:20 <+sunweaver> ok 20:20 -!- Naeblis_2 is now known as Naeblis|XChat 20:20 -!- yashshah [~yash@14.139.122.114] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 20:21 <@carols> secondly, your project is a bit niche :-/ 20:21 <@carols> normally this wouldn't be such a bad thing 20:21 -!- edwardk [~edwardk@pdpc/supporter/professional/edwardk] has
joined #gsoc 20:21 -!- cgogn_ [513820f2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.56.32.242] has

[~saste___@dynamic-adsl-78-15-193-121.clienti.tiscali.it] has quit
[Ping timeout: 272 seconds] 20:21 -!- tiotio_go [~tiotio_go@nat-catanger.upf.edu] has quit [Read
error: Connection reset by peer] 20:21 <+sunweaver> terminal server solutions are a niche? Why do you
think that? 20:21 <@carols> but we just had so many apps this year, we were both
trying to balance orgs that would appeal to a wide variety of students as well as things that
would be "fun" 20:22 <+sunweaver> ah, ok, getting what you mean... 20:22 -!- yashshah [~yash@14.139.122.114] has joined #gsoc 20:22 -!- pitchoilcan [~pitchoilc@173-145-69-53.pools.spcsdns.net] has
quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds] 20:22 <+sunweaver> mostly people contributing are people who deploy
terminal services or SaaS with X2Go to customers (or students at Uni) 20:22 -!- JordiGH [~jhermoso@octave/developer/JordiGH] has left #gsoc [] 20:22 <@carols> yeah, understandable. 20:22 -!- ankurankan [6a4e4f5c@gateway/web/freenode/ip.106.78.79.92]
has joined #gsoc 20:23 <@carols> but combined with the nitpicks about the ideas page,
they worked together against you :-( 20:23 -!- vruiz [57df1da7@gateway/web/freenode/ip.87.223.29.167] has
joined #gsoc 20:23 -!- berber [~berber@stw2.informatik.uni-bremen.de] has left #gsoc [] 20:23 <@carols> let me just check your app for anything else. 20:23 <+sunweaver> so for next year, we have to work hard on the ideas
page and hope we will not fall into the niche again?!? 20:23 -!- akshay_r [~akshay@14.139.122.114] has joined #gsoc 20:24 -!- cgogn_ [513820f2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.56.32.242] has
joined #gsoc 20:24 <@carols> well, that also has to take into consideration the
other apps we get. 20:24 <@carols> but yes, please spruce up the ideas page for sure. 20:24 <+sunweaver> how many code project ideas do you recommend?
simply as many as possible? 20:24 <@carols> no, not as many as possible. 20:25 -!- dwcramer [~dcramer@50.56.230.39] has quit [Ping timeout: 264
seconds] 20:25 <@carols> i actually like the *quantity* of ideas on your page. 20:25 <@carols> just not the way they are structured. 20:25 -!- LISPmob_Albert_
[43ba84a8@gateway/web/freenode/ip.67.186.132.168] has joined #gsoc 20:25 <+sunweaver> ok... the project core team is not that strong so
any more would be hard to handle anyway... 20:25 <+sunweaver> ok. 20:25 <@carols> also, as i've said to a couple other folks, having
someone to vouch for you would have given you a nice little bonus. 20:26 <@carols> it didn't make or break the application, but would
have helped. 20:26 <+sunweaver> yeah, I did not get how that could be done. 20:26 <@carols> well, it would mean collaborating in some way with
another org that has participated in gsoc. 20:26 -!- sinhayash [~quassel@115.249.18.25] has joined #gsoc 20:26 <@carols> which may or not may even be possible for you. 20:26 -!- gizmo17 [~bhavesh@public-nat-c.vpngate.net] has joined #gsoc 20:26 <+sunweaver> so I have to advertise X2Go to other applying
projects and hope they vouch for me? Or how does it work (in short). 20:26 <@carols> which is why it's not something we hinge the application on. 20:26 -!- Naman22___ [~Naman@182.64.62.231] has joined #gsoc 20:27 <+sunweaver> ah, ok. 20:27 <@carols> hope that helps. 20:27 <+sunweaver> I will do a BoF on DebConf2013 on the project, so
maybe we find some supporters there. 20:27 <@carols> awesome. 20:27 <+sunweaver> :-) 20:27 <@carols> that's a great idea. 20:27 -!- cryos|laptop [~marcus@66-194-253-20.static.twtelecom.net]
has joined #gsoc 20:27 <@carols> anything else? 20:27 <+sunweaver> the application? 20:27 -!- LISPmob_Albert [~alberto@dync-35-161.ac.upc.es] has quit
[Quit: Leaving] 20:28 -!- LISPmob_Albert_ is now known as LISPmob_Albert 20:28 <@carols> the only thing i saw a problem with in the application
was the vouching. 20:28 <@carols> everything else looks fine. 20:28 <+sunweaver> ok, thanks! 20:28 <@carols> :-) 20:28 <@carols> you're welcome. 20:28 -!- bhavesh_ [~bhavesh@public-nat-c.vpngate.net] has quit [Ping
timeout: 240 seconds] 20:28 <+sunweaver> last question: is it ok to quote our part of the
meeting and post it to our dev mailing list? 20:28 <@carols> hope you have a nice summer/winter 20:28 <@carols> sure 20:28 <+sunweaver> thx! 20:28 <@carols> it's a logged channel, you can quote all of it 20:28 -!- cgogn__ [513820f2@gateway/web/freenode/ip.81.56.32.242] has
joined #gsoc 20:28 -!- soot|eric [~Adium@g230058146.adsl.alicedsl.de] has left #gsoc [] 20:29 <+sunweaver> have a nice summer/winter, as well, maybe more next year! 20:29 <@carols> yes, for sure! 20:29 <@carols> cheers 20:29 <@carols> moving along!

Greets, Mike (aka sunweaver)
