12:04 ZubairLK: sorry i’m late
12:04 av500: jkridner: yes, this internet, how does it work?
12:04 jkridner: will you be doing your student evaluation soon?
12:04 ZubairLK: hi jkridner
12:05 ZubairLK: jkridner: yes yes. wedding prep keeps me preoccupied…
12:05 ZubairLK: when is the hard deadline?
12:05 ZubairLK: am i the only one left?
12:05 hatguy: 27th mostly
12:05 ZubairLK: jkridner: has greg done my eval?
12:05 jkridner: yes.
12:06 ZubairLK: i see
12:06 ZubairLK: i’ll do it now/tonight
12:06 jkridner: only keesj, av500 and ka6sox still need to do their mentor evaluations.
12:06 jkridner: we should not be saying if it is pass or fail, but you should know if you did the required work or not.
12:08 jkridner: eFfeM or beng-nl: are you in contact with keesj regarding the evaluation?
12:08 av500: jkridner: done
12:08 jkridner: av500: thanks!
12:08 jkridner: ds2, bradfa, panto: are you in contact with ka6sox regarding the evaluation?
12:09 jkridner: These are due early Friday, so we need to make sure we know the intent soon.
12:09 jkridner: I think I know mostly how to fill in both evals in an emergency…
12:09 bradfa: jkridner, no, but I’ll bug him
12:09 jkridner: but, better information would come from ka6sox and keesj.
12:11 jkridner: all, please make sure the spreadsheet has your address and size for sending any t-shirts I can get from cathy.
12:12 vvu|Log: link please, i have changed my address :slight_smile:
12:12 vvu|Log: i had it at one point but lost it in the archive
12:13 jkridner: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtD7XdBlve3HdFRaU1NEZE40cUgxNFlYTEdjNklYcEE&usp=sharing
12:13 vvu|Log: thx jkridner !
12:13 ZubairLK: jkridner: its the same university address right?
12:14 jkridner: What address do you need it to be?
12:14 tcort: Can someone with write access to the spreadsheet put in XL in E7? I don’t have a business address (only residential) and get packages through Dr Matt Lemire.
12:15 jkridner: tcort: you should have “comment” access…
12:15 jkridner: add a comment and I’ll update the spreadsheet.
12:15 hatguy: jkridner: prpplague has our addresses
12:15 hatguy: jkridner: do you need them too?
12:15 jkridner: prpplague: can you make sure to put them in the spreadsheet for Cathy?
12:15 anujdeshpande: jkridner: can’t comment or view the doc.
12:15 Ceriand has joined (~ceriand@unaffiliated/ceriand)
12:15 anujdeshpande: it gives the option to switch accounts or request permission
12:16 vvu|Log: jkridner: please update my address with http://pastebin.com/85VQxxk7
12:16 jkridner: anujdeshpande: pm me your google account e-mail address
12:16 jkridner: vvu|Log: can you put it in the comments? I guess I’ll try to do it now
12:16 vvu|Log: ok
12:17 jkridner: any thoughts on how we can improve the experience for future students?
12:17 ka6sox: jkridner, I got the notification and I’ll fill it out today
12:17 jkridner: anujdeshpande, hatguy, vvu|Log, vmayoral, tcort, jj2baile, ZubairLK: any thoughts on how we can improve the experience for future students?
12:18 jkridner: ka6sox: thanks!
12:18 jkridner: keesj: ping: that just leaves you!
12:18 jkridner: was keesj going to be out?
12:18 vmayoral: jkridner: i don’t have access to the spreadsheet either.
12:18 jkridner: can fill in evaluations for anyone unable to do so.
12:18 hatguy: jkridner: early hardware, hehe :stuck_out_tongue:
12:19 jkridner: vmayoral: pm me your google account e-mail address.
12:19 vvu|Log: jkridner: in my case i should have researched more on the topic of the project before submitting the proposal…so i think some a bit in depth research if it can be done
12:19 vvu|Log: but still this is my case
12:19 vvu|Log: couldnt figure those bugs out without a BBB so its kinda 2 way problem :slight_smile:
12:19 prpplague: jkridner: no clue what spreadsheet that is… can you give me a url and info?
12:19 jkridner: vvu|Log: a phone number is needed as well.
12:19 vvu|Log: same one
12:19 anujdeshpande: jkridner: maybe you can have issues, etc on github for the proposed projects, and prospective students can work on them. would help in getting a good feel. the cross compilation thing was good enough, but this will be better i guess
12:20 jkridner: prpplague: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtD7XdBlve3HdFRaU1NEZE40cUgxNFlYTEdjNklYcEE&usp=sharing
12:20 prpplague: jkridner: thanks adding now
12:20 eFfeM: jkridner: I haven’t discussed it with keesj, but Thomas definitely passes
12:21 eFfeM: can’t do the paperwork though
12:21 hatguy: anujdeshpande: jkridner +1
12:22 eFfeM: jkridner: just saw an email from keesj on the evaluation so it is on his radar
12:23 ZubairLK: jkridner: done. can you check your account and confirm me and gregkh evaluations are cool?
12:23 jkridner: eFfeM: k, if he doesn’t do it by tomorrow night, I’ll be looking to fill something in.
12:25 jkridner: ZubairLK: gregkh’s evaluation is completed as is yours.
12:25 ZubairLK: jkridner: it says I don’t have permission to add comments :s. And I have a comment right next to my tshirt size. XL. I have no idea why I was high and did that… It should be L.
12:25 jkridner: cannot read student evaluations as they may reflect on him.
12:25 jkridner: ZubairLK: there is a comment that says XL.
12:26 jkridner: so, make it L?
12:26 ZubairLK: jkridner: thanks. gregkh told me I’m a pass :slight_smile:
12:26 ZubairLK: Yes. Please make it L
12:26 ZubairLK: I can’t edit the comment.
12:26 ZubairLK: jkridner: thanks
12:27 eFfeM has left IRC (Ping timeout: 252 seconds)
12:27 anujdeshpande: prpplague: can you please add XL to the shirt column ? and do we need a contact number
12:27 prpplague: anujdeshpande: sure
12:27 prpplague: hatguy: what size do you need?
12:27 anujdeshpande: thanks
12:27 hatguy: prpplague: L
12:28 jkridner: mentors: any comments on how to make this go better next year?
12:28 ZubairLK: anything else we need to do apart from evaluations? there was a code upload thing somewhere if I remember…
12:28 ZubairLK: jkridner: happy with the upstream? patches finally went through IIO!
12:29 jkridner: ZubairLK: yes, thank you very much
12:30 jkridner: yes, there is a code upload thing!
12:30 prpplague: anujdeshpande / hatguy updated
12:30 hatguy: prpplague: thanks!
12:30 jkridner: has anyone figured out the code upload thing?
12:31 prpplague: jkridner: need much much much better organization and communication on administrative/paperwork/documentation needed for the projects
12:31 anujdeshpande: prpplague: just needed to add my contact details
12:31 hatguy: jkridner: we’re planning git patchsets for our individual commits
12:31 prpplague: anujdeshpande: that should be there
12:31 vmayoral has left IRC (Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com ))
12:32 ZubairLK: jkridner: my work can ideally be described using the patches that were upstreamed…
12:32 anujdeshpande: prpplague: ahh… i just saw the first column. my bad.
12:32 anujdeshpande: thanks !
12:32 vmayoral has joined (~Victor@170.Red-83-61-44.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net)
12:32 anujdeshpande: hatguy: +1
12:32 vmayoral: Apologies
12:32 vmayoral: Online again
12:35 ZubairLK: have i disconneted or is there awkward silence

12:35 ZubairLK: disconnected*
12:35 anujdeshpande: not awkward though
12:36 ZubairLK: jkridner: gregkh and all mentors. Thank-you very very very much for opportunity to work alongside you guys.
12:36 ZubairLK: It was a great mix of fun and learning :slight_smile:
12:36 jkridner: anujdeshpande, hatguy, ZubairLK, vvu|Log, jj2baile, tcort, vmayoral: did you get e-mails with code submission guidelines?
12:37 hatguy: jkridner: yepp
12:37 vvu|Log: jkridner: nop, nothing at this end
12:37 ZubairLK: not keeping up with the inbox…
12:37 hatguy: vvu|Log: it should be in the mailing list
12:37 vmayoral: just an email from Carol (google groups)
12:38 anujdeshpande: that’s all that they send i guess
12:39 vvu|Log: yep read it
12:39 jkridner: anujdeshpande, hatguy, ZubairLK, vvu|Log, jj2baile, tcort, vmayoral: just confirmed with carols that you won’t be able to upload until after you get a ‘pass’ evaluation and you won’t know that before Friday.
12:40 vvu|Log: yep yep
12:40 jkridner: now it makes sense why there isn’t an upload button.
12:40 ZubairLK: jkridner: i see :slight_smile:

12:40 anujdeshpande: cool

12:41 ZubairLK: +1
12:41 ZubairLK: jkridner: was wondering. what size of a group does a hangout support?
