=== Open Discussion or Questions? Raise your hand to be recognized ===
Welcome to henrix.
=== Status: CVE's ===
Currently we have 72 CVEs on our radar, one new CVEs were added this week.
See the CVE matrix for the current list"
http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/cve/pkg/ALL-linux.html
Overall the backlog is unchanged this week, though we have closed one
additional CVE across the board

As you all know, last year our application was unsuccessful, which is why I'd like us all to collaborate on putting Ubuntu's application as a mentoring organisation together. As far as I recall the particular point which was problematic the last time was a lack of distinct project ideas. Pointing to Ubuntu Brainstorm or a list of unfinished blueprints is not enough.

I just felt it important enough to make sure we all try to submit a great application, so Ubuntu contributors can spend the summer making Ubuntu better. So far we have 8 project ideas on the wiki page, we have some bits of the questionnaire already answered and one person potentially interested in being a contact person for the mentoring organisation. Have a great day, Daniel I believe like dholbach that this is a very worthwhile program for Ubuntu to engage in and will benefit not only the mentees but also the Ubuntu Community and hopefully we can pull this together this year. -- Benjamin Kerensa "I am what I am because Team Lead, Ubuntu Oregon of who we all are." - Ubuntu bkere...@ubuntu.com http://ubuntu-oregon.org -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

One of the most important tasks as a contact person is definitely keeping everyone aware of what's going on in terms of deadlines: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012 - this includes writing announcements and sending reminders. The most time-consuming phases were definitely the first: mentoring organisation application, outreach to mentees and the review of mentoring proposals. The actual hacking phase just requires everyone to stick to the deadlines and send in information to Google in a timely fashion. What I enjoyed was working in a small "Ubuntu contact team" and finally having the project on the way, also the excitement - both of mentees and mentors - was great too. At times you get quite a number of enquiries as Ubuntu was a quite popular project, but if you can deal with a few emails and pings on IRC, that's totally fine. I would highly suggest to have at least two Ubuntu GSoC contacts. The FAQ is also a read I'd recommend. http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2012/faqs If there's any more questions, please let me know.

I don't know about similar 'algorithmic' library, which contain hard/easy algorithms, existing now somewhere. If someone know about it, please write to me. Independently, in my mind is a open source library with well described and with clean code, designed for beginners programmers to look at it and use the code by 'copy-paste-modify' method. Both ways are interesting. About second idea, we may organize a classes for all programmers and say about basics algorithms, especially their use in real work.
