[22:16:48] Hey halfak You there? [22:18:15] Hey tos! [22:18:21] How've you been? [22:18:34] Busy as always. You know how it goes ;) [22:19:17] Never got to formatting my laptop even though it's top of my list. Plan to do that asap. As always [22:19:58] :) I could definitely use a second set of hands to hack on snuggle. There've been a few things that I haven't been able to get to either. :\ [22:21:50] I most certainly want to help. :) But as you know, I expected a lot of activities coming up soon. So have been working on real life events and tests for the past one month [22:22:47] Luckily, I'll be getting free by 10th or so this month, and fully geared to switch gears. Hence probably something onwiki [22:23:30] *completely ready to switch gears [22:26:48] Btw halfak do you know anything about Google Summer of Code? [22:27:30] Not much. I know that Quim (WMF) sends an obnoxious amount of emails every time that something is happening. [22:27:54] -- not that I'm mad. It's just that the engineering mailing lists go crazy when it is happening. [22:28:24] Haha ok.. [22:29:09] I plan to participate in this GSoC for Wikimedia so I was kindof poking around the mentors and trying to see which ones I can contact [22:32:23] Gotcha. If you wanted to do some research or data-intensive systems work, we could probably get a mentor from analytics in the pool. [22:32:33] Otherwise, I don't have much for recommendations. [22:33:47] I personally do not mind any type of work. I just need some experience and enough incentive to make sure I keep learning stuff [22:34:26] So research will be somewhere I'll be helpful in, if that's one project I can try [22:39:03] If you do want to go in that direction, let me know and I'll bring it up with the other devs in analytics. :) [22:39:22] When are applications due? [22:41:31] That will be good, sure :) [22:42:10] Applications open on 10th and end on 21st, as far as I know. That will be the basics before they run through the selection procedure [22:42:24] I'm not really sure on the details as I'm still reading up [22:42:46] OK. I'll ping the analytics list right away. [22:42:48] (P.S. I'm still on webchat because of port blocking so ping me if you reply. ) [22:43:27] kk will do. [22:44:56] I'll be posting here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo [22:45:10] Woops. Here actually: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/analytics [22:45:12] tos: ^ [22:45:22] That's great. Do let me know if there's anything for me. We're supposed to find mentors for now. [22:45:50] I still havent read up the specifics so will do that too [22:46:15] Can you link me to where you are reading? I'll include it in the email. [22:46:17] tos: ^ [22:47:13] It's basically all about Google Summer of Code. [22:47:21] I'll get you a couple links in a min [22:48:00] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2014 and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_mentors [22:48:09] Still trying to see what all it includes [22:52:34] halfak: ^ [22:52:45] Gotcha. [22:53:45] I just made the post to the analytics-l list trying to gauge interest. [22:54:20] I'm not sure if research fits into GSoC, but as you know, a few of the things that is CS researchers do is software engineering. [22:54:37] Hmm, ok. I also thought the same [22:55:19] halfak: Btw can you get me a list of what all I need to do to get hacking at snuggle right away? I'll search them up before-hand so I'll know and have tried my hands on all that I'm supposed to do [22:56:45] tos: can do. Will send an email. [22:57:04] Perfect. Gracias for both of them :) [23:21:39] tos: sent [23:24:24] Wow. That was fast. Btw, I meant something more like "Get ubuntu installed/on Virtual machine-Get a public private key combination -.." sort of list so I'll acctually start playing around whenever I can, except the ones you sent in the mail [23:26:11] Oh! Sure. I have some other things to point you to. [23:26:32] Cool [23:27:53] tos: I just linked you to a guide that will take you step by step with screenshots on getting up on Tool Labs. If you can complete that guide, it should be trivial to get you access to the Snuggle project. [23:28:07] Gotcha [23:28:09] Also, Tool Labs will give you query access to slaves of all the wikis. [23:28:22] That's a really nice place to start playing around. [23:28:33] halfak: Wait. which guide? [23:28:35] Tool Labs is a really good place to get started with making simple tools. [23:28:37] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Labs2/Getting_started_with_Tool_Labs [23:28:42] Link in an email too. [23:28:58] Oh, ok [23:29:40] I just got the tool-labs mail [23:29:50] Gotcha, will go through as soon as I get time [23:34:56] Sounds good. [23:35:11] T13|sleeps, hey dude. You around? [23:36:15] I wasn't [23:36:34] And I'm about to loose connection [23:37:16] Boo. I missed the opportunity to catch up during the netsplit craziness. [23:37:27] Ping me sometime soon, k? [23:37:37] T13|sleeps, ^ [23:37:43] Will do.
