15:04:11 <zodbot> The meeting name has been set to 'summer_coding_sig'
15:04:47 <quaid> #topic No agenda, mentors working on proposals -- open topic, your choice
15:08:25 <abadger1999> What do mentors need to be doing now and this week?
15:13:25 <abadger1999> quaid: ^
15:15:01 <quaid> ok, the goal is that by the end of the week'
15:15:18 <quaid> we are telling students if their proposal was accepted,and which are funded.
15:15:36 <quaid> that means that mentors need to be VERY active on the private list
15:15:48 <quaid> discussing their student's proposals, talking about others
15:16:00 <quaid> and working on a prioritized list by consensus
15:17:16 <abadger1999> I haven't seen much discussion -- what's a good way to kick that off?
15:18:29 <quaid> without melange ...
15:18:50 <quaid> I suppose we should start a thread that lists ALL proposals and attempts to sort them.
15:20:27 <abadger1999> <nod>  Sounds reasonable.
15:21:04 <abadger1999> We don't have any login-to-view-this applications available, do we?
15:21:30 <abadger1999> I guess using the filesystem on fedorapeople (w/ fs acls) might be close.
15:23:59 <abadger1999> Is there a page that tells how to review student proposals?
15:24:08 * abadger1999 thinks there is but fogets what it was.
15:24:13 <quaid> sort of
15:24:41 <quaid> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_comment_on_Summer_Coding_2010_proposals
15:24:47 <quaid> that was for the non-private discussions
15:24:54 <quaid> maybe fs acls might do it
15:27:58 <fedori> meeting still on for 20:00 CET?
15:28:53 <abadger1999> quaid: Yeah -- if all mentors have a fedorapeople account.
15:29:28 <fedori> thx
15:33:09 <quaid> abadger1999: yeah, and some do not nor cannot that quickly ...
15:33:32 <abadger1999> <nod>
15:33:35 <quaid> abadger1999: we could use .htaccess and have it a read-only to the group,with writing done on the list?
15:33:58 <abadger1999> quaid: That sounds sensible.
15:34:44 <abadger1999> web pages just seem better for large lists than email.
15:35:35 <quaid> I can keep the list updated then, can you help me make sure I set the ACLs and .htpasswd correctly?
15:38:23 <abadger1999> Can do.
15:39:29 <abadger1999> So what's first?  (1) Send initial list to the mailing list.  (2) Mentors provide mini lists -- proposals that they like a lot at top, less at bottom, and neutralish in the middle.
15:39:43 <tibbs|h> abadger1999: I never edited that proposal page you asked me to look at.
15:39:59 <tibbs|h> Is there still a need for me to look at that?  I started thinking about it, then ran out of time.
15:40:10 <abadger1999> (3) Compile the mini lists into an uber list.  post to the ml and .htaccess controlled website.
15:40:22 <abadger1999> quaid: ^   This was for the impact statement on one of hte proposals.
15:40:32 <abadger1999> (tibbs|h's question)
15:42:45 <abadger1999> quaid: proposal pages are supposed to be locked now, so I suppose, not?
15:43:17 <tibbs|h> Crap, sorry.
15:44:47 <abadger1999> tibbs|h: No worries, only a few proposals got all three answers, most just had student and mentors responses.
15:45:09 <abadger1999> kinda feeling our way through this since it's the first time
15:46:51 <quaid> +1 on the order of approach
15:47:22 <quaid> yeah, the impact statement was something we got from Sugar Labs when we swiped their student proposal, I'd forgotten about it :)
15:51:59 <abadger1999> quaid: Okay, You want to gete #1?  I'll post a #2 mini list by tonight to try getting mentors talking.
15:52:30 <quaid> abadger1999: it's a deal
15:53:41 <abadger1999> Cool.
15:53:48 <abadger1999> Houston we have a plan.
15:57:47 <quaid> ok, wrapping up meeting
