All,
I can't remember my elinux password at the moment and it's a bit late
so i'll just post a short summary here.
The meeting was a little bit of a fizzer, in attendance was only
cfriedt, ppoudel, drinkcat and I. Much later mru popped in just to
say how unresponsive and useless the fftw developers were.
About the only topic I could think of given the attendance was to
ensure everyone was clear on the code submission process and date, and
everyone said they were I believe (my wifi decided to drop out in the
middle of that). Remember it's the 30th for those who didn't attend.
We had a very light review of the GSOC itself. Cfried and ppoudel
were happy with their results even if they thought they could have
done a little more. School commitments didn't help (it seems odd
timing to me). I thought it would've helped me to have a project on
which I was more involved on the software side of things to start
with.
I also asked about upstream interaction and it sounds like in general
development was on separate code-bases. Perhaps not surprising given
that most projects were mentored by people who weren't primary project
developers. This might be a point for the future since I don't
believe (imo) this gives a representative experience of working with
free software and lessens the chances of these becoming long-lived
contributions in themselves.
I think it was mentioned in the list or last meeting for mentors to
post a summary which I haven't done yet.
Well I presume any further info will be posted to this list ...
Cheers,
