Hello everyone, below is an exctract of a brief conversation that
Teemperor, Voluntatefaber and I (Munchor) just had on #elementary-dev. The
full logs can be found
here.<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html>

Anyways, it's just a discussion about elementary @ Google Summer Of Code,
it's an interesting read.

<teemperor|afk> as contest which purpose is to find the best then finding
the best idea or so, first one is just for your ego, last one is better

<teemperor|afk> Munchor: after release we need to get some organization, at
least enough to get accepted as google SoC project
[17:45:55]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:45:55>
<teemperor|afk> that would be awesome

<Munchor> I don't really know how SoC works
[17:48:07]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:07>
<voluntatefaber> Munchor, Soc?
[17:48:10]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:10>
<teemperor|afk> Munchor: let's find it out!
[17:48:13]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:13>
<Munchor> Google Summer Of Code
[17:48:13]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:13>
<teemperor|afk> (after release)
[17:48:30]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:30>
<voluntatefaber> Munchor, ahh, I know a bit of it
[17:48:33]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:33>
<Munchor> All I know is that GIMP guys were there once and during the next
months GIMP development went crazy
[17:48:45]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:45>
<Munchor> And the GIMP boat is sailing fast right now
[17:48:48]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:48>
<teemperor|afk> no, GIMP made their shit by themselves
[17:48:53]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:48:53>
<voluntatefaber> teemperor|afk, there's no time after release, registration
must be submitted at the beginning of march
[17:49:03]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:49:03>
<teemperor|afk> and they made awful upstream stuff
[17:49:24]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:49:24>
<teemperor|afk> then everything went crazy as everyone lost overview
[17:49:28]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:49:28>
<voluntatefaber> Munchor, teemperor|afk: I think GSoC is an awesome way
both to attract new devs and to get our devs paid for what they do
[17:50:05]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:05>
<Munchor> teemperor|afk, the GIMP Magazine, and the GIMP GEGL stuff, all
that came after SoC.
[17:50:28]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:28>
<Munchor> GIMP is very steady right now teemperor|afk, I have no idea of
what you're talking about
[17:50:36]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:36>
<teemperor|afk> Munchor: ah, you meant that SoC speed it up?
[17:50:38]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:38>
<tom95> Munchor: I know how to fix the root-terminal icon bug in
pantheon-terminal
[17:50:40]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:40>
<teemperor|afk> Munchor: i mean the 2.8 release
[17:50:44]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:44>
<Munchor> tom95, awesome
[17:50:49]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:49>
<teemperor|afk> they blocked themselves out and pushed release far away
[17:50:56]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:56>
<Munchor> tom95, somebody else said to know too
[17:50:59]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:50:59>
<Munchor> And told shnatsel how
[17:51:08]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:08>
<tom95> oh, great :)
[17:51:15]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:15>
<Munchor> And then shnatsel told that person (voldyman maybe?) that because
of something-something it really wasn't possible.
[17:51:15]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:15>
<tom95> Munchor: but no action has been taken yet?
[17:51:23]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:23>
<teemperor|afk> ok, anyway
[17:51:23]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:23>
<tom95> oh
[17:51:27]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:27>
<Munchor> So I'm looking forward to see what your idea is
[17:51:36]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:36>
<Munchor> I honestly don't understand the problem (from a technical point
of view)
[17:51:37]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:37>
<teemperor|afk> SoC stuff, i think Dan should do that?
[17:51:55]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:51:55>
<teemperor|afk> arg, we are pretty late somehow
[17:52:00]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:52:00>
<Munchor> teemperor|afk, email him about it, he's American, so maybe he can
actually try and go there.
[17:52:01]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:52:01>
<tom95> Munchor: same as what gnome-terminal does, wrap the launcher into
something that is no longer identified as x-terminal-emulator
[17:52:04]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:52:04>
<voluntatefaber> teemperor|afk, Dan or cassidy
[17:52:28]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:52:28>
<voluntatefaber> teemperor|afk, we should probably send a mail to both of
them, or in the ML
[17:52:46]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:52:46>
<Munchor> tom95, voldyman's idea was meant something about
x-terminal-emulator, email shnatsel with your idea, and ask him if it's
possiblu
[17:53:34]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:53:34>
<teemperor|afk> voluntatefaber: ML is better i think
[17:54:05]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:54:05>
<Munchor> speaking of Google
[17:54:13]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:54:13>
<Munchor>

[17:54:17]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:54:17>
<Munchor> Did you guys see that? Crazy man
[17:55:02]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:55:02>
<teemperor|afk> Munchor: voluntatefaber, have to go in 2 minutes, can
someone start the conversation on the ML? write that this shitty last
minute idea was from me :)
[17:55:35]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:55:35>
<Munchor> meh sure
[17:55:39]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:55:39>
<teemperor|afk> kk, thx
[17:55:54]<http://lunix.math.uni-bielefeld.de/elogs/%23elementary-dev/2013-02-23.html#17:55:54>
<teemperor|afk> will read that in 12 hours estimated when i'm back

The idea is to somehow have elementary @ Google Summer Of Code, I
personally have no idea of how it works, but it seems that FOSS projects
"go there" to not only show off their product but also to search for help
with it.

Teemperor suggested that elementary could be represented at Google Summer
Code, but submissions need to be done by March (there's still time!) and I
think only the Americans amongst us could actually be there.

Anyways, I think ideas like these should be shared with the whole community
and that's why I decided to post to the ML.

Regards,
David "Munchor" Gomes
