Amazon provide a free (mini) instance but storage capacity of this small instance may be too limited for such experiments and setup. Does it include automatic image generation scripts (from a Debian desktop/server and not cloning an image) or just connecting to an Amazon instance, add some scripting and save as new image ? First solution would be a perfect solution (for me and others), but is more complex, expecially with amazon. If additional co-mentors are required for the project, I can help (if any student proposal is valid...). A Debian GSoC project proposal, that needs 'non-free' and 'non free' services to work are a very bad idea in my opinion.

Go now. We'll wait. Back? OK. Great.

Not much was done during community bonding period because I still had lections in my university. A draft version of DESIGN doc was written, where were described: - Types of the metrics (local/remote, simple/general) - A format for interaction between debmetrics and user scripts - A format of how the user can provide the script to the portal Also, a set of Debian statistics was investigated in order to define usescases of simple metrics. Some of the scripts were adapted for use in debmetrics. Next week will be spent to: 1. Catch up (because of some failed attemps to adapt the scripts a lot of time was lost) and finish usecases investingation. More scripts will be adapted for use by debmetrics. 2. Design the database scheme to store the data 3. A script for updating the graphs that will run periodically. I see you have the following goals for this Sunday: o Create the database scheme o Build a simple interface for adding metrics o Add some simple scripts (from /Statistics) for local data generation and data output o Simple printing of the collected data I see you mention some of this, can we expect you to catch up to this schedule or should it be re-adjusted to properly reflect the timeline?

It is important that you follow the reservation process outlined in Carol's mail [GSoC Mentors Announce] GSoC 2013: Mentor Summit Travel and Details using the link provided there; this should not have required any payment information from you and will be billed to Google directly. I have used Carol's link for registering - it prompted for my card details but said nothing would be charged to me. That's for incidentals. If someone decides to throw a rock roll party and throw a few lamps through the wall, they need a card on file (or eat all the peanuts in the mini-fridge) Carol's email suggests that flights should be paid after Google approves a PO - but I think that would be difficult in practice because international flight prices change a lot and most airlines don't make reservations without immediate payment any more. Can one of the admins confirm that we can go ahead and book flights as soon as we find a good deal and without waiting for the Google PO approval process? Generally, SPI gets approval for a PO, then you book the flights, then SPI files an invoice against the PO for the actual price, and once that is received you are mailed a check. However the policy is different this year; SPI will be reimbursing you immediately after the summit while it waits on reimbursement from Google. SPI's policy for reimbursement was outlined in Josh's mail [GSoC Mentors] Organizations affiliated with SPI, please read; in summary, email SPI as soon as possible after the summit with your receipts. This will require you paying for the flights yourself, then getting a reimbursement from SPI. If this presents a hardship, SPI has policies to handle that. I don't mind waiting a reasonable time for SPI to process the re-imbursement, the only concern I had is about the flight prices changing between the time the quote is submitted and the time that approval comes back. Reading through the web pages, however, some of the information gives me the impression that Google will just give SPI a blanket approval for $2,200 and the SPI invoices for the actual amount spent - can anybody confirm if this type of approval has been sought or granted already? If so, I'll just go ahead and book the flights in the next few days. I'm out of the loop, so I can no confirm this yet.

It could be one of two things: a) the students are discovering Debian when they see us in a list on Google's web site b) the students are not certain about investing time/effort with organisations before the organisations have some official involvement Aye.
