14:34:35 <jcmarca> ?
14:35:30 <bckurera> yes jcmarca, your turn
14:37:01 <jcmarca> Hi. Yesterday I get an e-mail saying that I have to check step 4 of the steps to apply. I checked and I think all is correct. Can you confirm it?
14:37:51 <bckurera> yes sure, is your student application is available on the wiki?
14:38:04 <jcmarca> Yep.
14:38:22 <bckurera> can I get the link?
14:38:50 <jcmarca> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:jcmarca
14:38:52 <foss_bot> Title: User:Jcmarca - FedoraProject (at fedoraproject.org)
14:39:33 <bckurera> jcmarca : This is not the student application, this is your user page URL
14:39:44 <bckurera> what you have done is save the content in your user page URL
14:39:48 <bckurera> this is not correct
14:40:13 <bckurera> you should create the URL as described in the application process wiki page, step 4
14:41:04 <bckurera> check following link and it describes how to create the application, please
14:41:06 <bckurera> #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GSOC_Guide_students#Create_your_Application

14:42:24 <jcmarca> EOF
14:42:39 <axil42> about that, I have started a discussion in the wiki page you just linked
14:42:49 <axil42> which I think clarifies things
14:42:53 <gugu> !
14:43:25 <axil42> I don't know if you saw it
14:43:40 <axil42> EOF
14:44:00 <tiagolam> ?
14:44:40 <bckurera> axil42 : yes But I dont see a reason to misunderstand user page and application, it is clear on instructions
14:45:12 <bckurera> ok will take another question then but before that gugu it is your turn
14:45:20 <gugu> is the deadline for submitting recommendations (as mentioned in the mail you just sent to summer-coding) a bit more flexible.
14:46:24 <gugu> i am having a bit trouble getting a recommendation from someone at my university, it is already vacations now and some professors which I am normally in touch are on leave.
14:48:23 <bckurera> gugu : we have given nearly 21 days to get it completed. So please try to find another person if you have problem but still if it is getting delayed please let me know, I ll talk with your mentor and see what we can do.
14:48:37 <bckurera> hope you get the answer.
14:48:49 <gugu> ok, and do they have to point out specific work that I have done under them ?
14:48:51 <gugu> EOF
14:48:59 <axil42> ?
14:49:15 <jcmarca> ?
14:49:55 <bckurera> gugu : Please find the FAQ section in Application process on wiki
14:50:17 <bckurera> we need someone to vouch for you, that he believes you will complete the project and you are reliable
14:50:34 <bckurera> that is what we need to know from a thrid-paty
14:50:55 <bckurera> anyway if you having any issue please do write us, will try to facilitate you as much as possible
14:51:06 <gugu> sorry to respond after the EOF, but do I have to submit the recommendation or the third party to you ?
14:51:48 <bckurera> gugu : yes you should email that, BTW you can find all info under following link
14:51:54 <purezen> ?

14:52:31 <tiagolam> I haven't yet applied my application (I'm planning to do that at most at 19:00 UTC of today), because i want to talk with my mentors first.
14:52:37 <tiagolam> So, a simple question, What is the best way to contact them? Directly or using the mailing list?
14:53:39 <bckurera> tiagolam : What is the project idea you are working on?

14:54:57 <bckurera> tiagolam : Did you make the initial contact with the mentors?
14:55:35 <tiagolam> No, haven't done it. Was waiting to have everything together
14:56:20 <bckurera> tiagolam : ok, better you contact them with the mentioned email directly, but being frank I think you are too late to start the communication with the mentors
14:57:02 <tiagolam> alright i'll contact them right way to clarify it.
14:57:04 <bckurera> tiagolam : it is only 2 days to go but you can have a try, please contact the mentors directly using their email address, you can contact me at any time for support.
14:57:16 <tiagolam> thank you

15:15:37 <arunjvs> Ok! One more question.
15:15:48 <bckurera> yes please
15:16:12 <arunjvs> My mentor (Hedayat) is not yet finalized. He said he has to talk with you. Any updates with that?
15:17:17 <bckurera> execat : as I have informed to you they havent figure out who will be the primary mentor but you are having 3 instead 1 anyway :)
15:17:45 <execat> bckurera, how did you know my question even before I asked it? :-P
15:18:27 <bckurera> execat : I think you can fire it since arnjvs is done, as I think
15:18:43 <arunjvs> no! I haven't got answer to my question
15:19:13 <mjunior> ?

15:19:15 <foss_bot> Title: GSOC 2013/Registered Mentors List - FedoraProject (at fedoraproject.org)
15:21:16 <bckurera> arunjvs : Yes as  i told you there is no agreement about the primary mentor, there are 3 as I know, they will decide who will be the primary mentor, please wait till that, you can keep communications with hedyata
15:22:00 <arunjvs> Oh! Sorry. You addressed that message to execat instead of me.
15:22:24 <arunjvs> Thanks :) That's all the questions I have.
15:22:25 <arunjvs> EOF
15:22:45 <bckurera> execat : please raise your question please
15:23:26 <execat> My question is about the primary mentor for the GitLab project. All my communications are done with vondruch and CCed to Dan Allen.
15:24:15 <execat> But in one of our email you mentioned contacting sgallagh instead, and he told me there was some misunderstanding, and that he wasn't involved with GitLab or packaging.
15:24:44 <execat> So, my question is: even if vondruch is a registered mentor, is there any other person I have to report my progress to?
15:24:53 <execat> (For the GitLab proposal)
15:25:04 <bckurera> yeah I got it, confused with the title you have used.
15:25:50 <execat> Should I change it? I did not keep it as "Setup Gitlab as a front end for Fedora Hosted git repositories" because I am not doing whole of it anyway. Just the packaging.
15:26:09 <bckurera> execat : you need to continue the communication with the mentor as it was no change, if there is will let you know
15:26:32 <execat> Thanks a lot bckurera.
15:26:40 <execat> EOF
15:27:04 <bckurera> execat : yes that is the reason, but I cannot ask changing the topic, please discuss this with your mentor
15:27:33 <bckurera> rAg3nix you are the next and then mjunior, please
15:28:50 <bckurera> rAg3nix : please go ahead
15:29:16 <rAg3nix> bckurera: thanks , my question is. I am interested in "GitLab setup as a frontend". When i mailed the same to the mailing list , you asked me to talk to the concerned mentor. I mailed Dimtriy regarding the same , but no response
15:30:07 <rAg3nix> i have implemented gitlab with a test project in my localhost , but i am facing some issues so i wanted to resolve them and write out the progress and also discuss the same with the mentor
15:31:49 <rAg3nix> my mail to the list and your reply was on 24th april
