| 03:46:36 | : | <_wolf_> aghisla: hi |
| 03:46:51 | : | <_wolf_> did you see the feedback for your proposal? |
| 03:46:53 | aghisla: | hello _wolf_! |
| 03:47:35 | aghisla: | I did, and just edited the proposal accordingly |
| 03:47:46 | aghisla: | I needed some time to document myself : ) |
| 03:48:19 | : | <_wolf_> cool : ) |
| 03:48:32 | : | <_wolf_> I just got back and happened to notice you are online : ) |
| 03:49:43 | aghisla: | _wolf_: are there many students proposals for osgeo? |
| 03:50:26 | : | <_wolf_> not too many, but there is still thw most of this week left |
| 03:50:49 | : | <_wolf_> so far all proposals have been quite good quality : ) |
| 03:52:11 | : | <_wolf_> aghisla: thanks, the update is good : ) |
| 03:52:41 | aghisla: | _wolf_: it makes the project clearer but a bit harder : ) |
| 03:56:58 | : | <_wolf_> hard is good, as long as it is not too hard : ) |
| 03:58:02 | aghisla: | hope so |
| 04:03:13 | SmokeyD: | any people here that are knowledgeable on the google summer of code project? |
| 05:07:07 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: aye. I'm the SoC admin |
| 05:07:28 | : | <_wolf_> for OSGeo that is |
| 05:09:52 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: hi, sorry, somehow pidgin isn't playing sound anymore when someone mentions my nick. Gotta fix that. |
| 05:10:19 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: I was wondering. I graduated last september from my MSc, so I am not a student anymore and therefore not elegible for the SOC |
| 05:10:59 | SmokeyD: | but people over at #gsoc said that it might be possible to find a mentor willing to tutor me off the record, and of course without receiving a stipend from google |
| 05:11:15 | : | <_wolf_> that might be possible |
| 05:11:26 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: which project are you interested in? |
| 05:12:59 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: well, in general: any. But I do have some idea. First of all I am not a C programmer. So GDAL and stuff is to much for me I think. |
| 05:13:13 | SmokeyD: | I am current on python though |
| 05:13:19 | SmokeyD: | and most things web-related |
| 05:14:05 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: for web we have many projects, and if you like GUI design GRASS could use another pair of hands :D |
| 05:14:28 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: cool. : ) |
| 05:14:32 | : | <_wolf_> QGIS is also an option, but it is qt, but has python bindings |
| 05:15:34 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: have a look at our SoC ideas page http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009_Ideas and see if you find anything interesting |
| 05:15:35 | sigq: | Title: Google Summer of Code 2009 Ideas - OSGeo Wiki ( at wiki.osgeo.org ) |
| 05:15:48 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: I have visited Africn and latin american countries during my studies a lot ( I am an ecolotist ) and if I could work on making GIS software for those areas, or NGO's or other users working in those areas, that would be even cooler |
| 05:16:40 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: I will. I will start thinking on it today and write something down. How should I approach this since I can't follow the official routes through google? |
| 05:16:42 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: cool. Welcome to GRASS :D you'll fit right in |
| 05:16:49 | SmokeyD: | :D |
| 05:17:47 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: you can simply contact the GRASS developers list at grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org and state your case. Start by downloading the GRASS code, and give it a try |
| 05:17:53 | : | <_wolf_> if you haven't already |
| 05:19:33 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: for the gui we use the wxPython toolkit, so you should get yourself acquainted to that too |
| 05:19:58 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: ok, cool. I was afraid GRASS would be C or something. Or is it a mix? |
| 05:20:17 | : | <_wolf_> The modules are C, but the GUI is Python |
| 05:20:29 | : | <_wolf_> the advantage that you have over SoCers is that you will be automatically accepted :D |
| 05:20:39 | : | <_wolf_> plus you can start immediately :P |
| 05:20:48 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: :D |
| 05:21:37 | SmokeyD: | this is really nice : ) Thanks a lot, you really know how to make people enthousiastic |
| 05:21:38 | SmokeyD: | : ) |
| 05:23:59 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: just to know, which webbased projects would also be interested to tutor someone? I think I would like to dive into GRASS, but on the other hand, I am using webbased stuff a lot as well and am also current in ( X )HTML, css, javascript, php, webbased python stuff, etc |
| 05:26:43 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: I think all would welcome a new motivated developer. I'm myself mainly a GRASS developer so I can't say. For instance OpenLayers people are too busy to mentor for SoC, which would hint that they'd welcome a new developer |
| 05:28:31 | : | <_wolf_> Mapbender is php + javascript, so that might be to your liking. |
| 05:30:18 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: as outside of SoC the pick is pretty much yours, most will welcome new developers with open arms and give you pointers. You might not get a single mentor, but rather the whole developer community ; ) |
| 05:33:12 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: thanks a lot for your help. I will ponder on it today and think about what I would like to do and where to go. I might approach you again in a few days if you don't mind |
| 05:34:46 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: sure thing. Welcome to the OSGeo community : ) I'll be around, feel free to contact me, whenever you see me |
| 05:35:12 | : | <_wolf_> I'll gladly help you get started : ) |
| 05:38:30 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: I suppose there is no point in answering your email to the soc list, is there? |
| 05:41:05 | SmokeyD: | :D |
| 05:41:06 | SmokeyD: | nope |
| 05:41:22 | SmokeyD: | _wolf_: sorry for cross posting |
| 05:43:45 | : | <_wolf_> SmokeyD: no worries! :D |
| 05:44:06 | : | <_wolf_> morning TylerM! : ) |
| 05:45:39 | TylerM: | good day _wolf_ |

| 11:54:49 | FrankW: | TylerM: I took care of Christine's account problem. Perhaps I neglected to cc: info with the reply? |
| 11:55:35 | TylerM: | hi FrankW - ah okay, yeah i didn't read anything further on it. |
| 11:55:56 | FrankW: | I replied to a few of the requests last week and tried to reply to info. |
| 11:56:12 | FrankW: | There are several I did not reply to, in which case I assume you will end up picking them up. |
| 11:56:15 | TylerM: | I saw that, thanks.. I was able to skip them. |
| 12:11:05 | tomkralidis: | hobu: is trac down? Throwing 500s |
| 12:12:26 | TylerM: | tomkralidis: better now? |
| 12:13:24 | TylerM: | loaded okay for me just now |
| 12:13:27 | TylerM: | was a bit slow though |
| 12:13:51 | tomkralidis: | TylerM: same thing. http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ |
| 12:13:53 | tomkralidis: | wierd |
| 12:14:32 | FrankW: | the load average is through the roof right now on osgeo1. |
| 12:14:38 | tomkralidis: | now I get a "database is locked" error |
| 12:15:57 | jasonbirch: | That happens to me often at night ( 11:00 PST and on ) |
| 12:18:05 | FrankW: | I see the automatic backup is running on osgeo1 which often seems to hammer the disk badly. |
| 12:18:45 | tomkralidis: | the autobackup runs in the mid-pm? Mind you, it's always mid-pm somewhere |
| 12:18:51 | hobu: | not the ideal time for such a thing |
| 12:19:50 | FrankW: | I believe it runs several times a day though I don't know the details. |

| 19:01:18 | ajturner: | any good services out there for finding wms that support 900913 / 3785? |

| 19:32:15 | wildintellect: | the convention idiots lost the order for furniture, and I had to shove my cc'd copy in their face |
| 19:32:52 | wildintellect: | also I got us a non-binding reservation for next year |
| 19:33:19 | wildintellect: | I should be able to get it all written up and posted in the next few days, now that I can actually think |
| 19:34:07 | TylerM: | gah - hi wildintellect ! |
| 19:34:16 | TylerM: | I'm not really here.. great to hear you survived |
| 19:34:26 | TylerM: | looking forward to chatting more when you get time |

| 19:34:56 | TylerM: | got the brochures? |
| 19:35:10 | wildintellect: | yes, they rocked |
| 19:35:21 | TylerM: | wahoo.. we'll talk about shipping some |
| 19:35:26 | wildintellect: | gave out ~400, well most of 1 box |
| 19:45:07 | TylerM: | no way.. that's great |
| 19:48:29 | wildintellect: | oh we we're quite popular |
| 19:48:44 | wildintellect: | 4 of us non-stop for 2:30 hours opening night |
| 19:49:15 | wildintellect: | was it 500 per box? |
| 19:50:37 | TylerM: | there was 100 total, that's all I know : ) |
| 19:56:27 | wildintellect: | you mean 1000 |
