Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugar-devel] Proposal: moving "assisting mentors" back to role for GSoC 2020

Thanks for the feedback everyone. We should continue talking about this to move toward consensus. We have until 14th April to finish the discussion. Many of your responses didn't address the issues raised in the GSoC mentors mailing list thread, so I've sent a copy of the thread to those who did

The Download button does not do anything until a download begins; you'll see that in the source code. Work with the Python 3 branch by using the master branch, combined with Sugar 0.116. On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 05:35:16PM +0530, Hitesh Shejwani wrote: > Thanks for the response James.  > > I saw

Hi, I expect that the project "## Music Blocks Scale Degree vs n^th Modal P itch" would be near impossible without my assistance.  Also, my resume is never benefited thus far from any of these things. I have never gotten a job from putting these things on a resume. The "problem" is that I identify

I think it is not hard to judge who wants to mentor from passion vs something to put on a resume. Let's leave it to the project leaders to make those calls. That said, mentors should have demonstrable experience of relevant contributions. On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 8:02 AM Samson Goddy wrote: > Hel

A mentor is supposed to be someone who is part of the community and in Stephanie's words "...you definitely need people who are integrated into your community who can help welcome the students as the point of the program is to keep them involved in your communities post GSoC." All the assisting m

Thanks for the response James. I saw that when I clicked on the Download button in the browser, it didn't do anything. So I thought to add something to it. How do I work with the Python 3 branch? On Fri, Mar 13, 2020, 1:00 PM James Cameron wrote: > Welcome Hitesh. > > urllib.request is a Pytho

Hello everyone, The quicker we understand that Sugar Labs is an "educational project," then the better for us, we have been battling on matters that in "my opinion" is pointless. That said, First, I don't understand the whole point for labeling someone an "assistant mentor," this is a community w

Yes, I will try to test more. I have locally created the fix for the new issue on Sugar repository #909, but I would need to test it out before creating the PR. Maybe we could add more task to the GSoC to improve the sugar repository. We have 12 unfinished Pull Requests (excluding 1 (mine) and 2 (H

Hi James, Thanks for this. I think that assisting mentor notion has no sense. We need to have one mentor that lead the project with some co-mentors to supply him when/if he's unavailable. Each mentor could ask help or advice to other members of the community if needed, we don't need to identify t

Thanks for testing. Your work decreases the time to my next release. Yes, I did try that versioning technique with 0.115 and 0.116, but there was no response from downstreams for months, and distribution specific bugs went unreported for a very long time. It felt like wasted effort. KDE team is

There's no reason to keep contributions relevant to the project. When we evaluate student proposals, we take careful note of contributions that are across all of Sugar Labs or Music Blocks. On Fri, Mar 13, 2020 at 12:41:25PM +0530, Anindya Kundu wrote: > Hi, I am Anindya, a GSoC aspirant, and I w

Welcome Hitesh. urllib.request is a Python 3 module. Browse master branch has been ported to Python 3, and requires Sugar 0.116, which in turn includes sugar-activity3. Browse file activity/activity.info specifies sugar-activity3. If you wish to use the Python 2 version of Browse, use the branc
