GSoC IRC Chats

Welcome!

Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.

Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.

Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

The application period opens today and closes on March 21. Between now and then, we’ll set up a handful of IRCIRC Internet Relay Chat, a network where users can have conversations online. IRC channels are used widely by open source projects, and by WordPress. The primary WordPress channels are #wordpress and #wordpress-dev, on irc.freenode.net. chats starting this Wednesday (We’ll use #wordpress-gsoc so as not to distract from the betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. work in -dev, and won’t get too close to the dev chat time-wise) to allow some real-time chatting with potential students about their project ideas.

All mentors should sign up for at least one time slot so the students will know which chat time will have appropriate mentors in the room. Everyone is welcome to attend these chats, not just mentors.

I’d like to pick 2 times of day and do the chats on Thursday the 13th, Saturday the 15th, Tuesday the 18th, and Thursday the 20th. 21:00 UTC seems to work well for dev chat, so I’m thinking that could be one of the times, but would like a 2nd time that we could do at least once or twice to make it easier on anyone on Australia/Russia side of the world.

Mentors: Please leave a comment with which days/times you can be available for chats in IRC. If anyone has an idea for a good 2nd chat time, suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

I’ll be at WC Atlanta, leaving the 13th and back on the 16th. I’m pretty sure I won’t be available for the 13th, but might still be able to fit the 15th in. I can commit to the 18th and/or 20th though.

An Australian/Russian friendly time is certainly a good idea, since GSoC always seems to actually be hugely popular with colleges in India.

  I’ll be at WCATL, too — see you there!

21:00 UTC on the 18th works for me.

(The 13th and 20th would also work if necessary, but the 18th would be a little better.)

13th and 20th work best for me.

13th – 19:00 UTC till 23:59 UTC work best

20th – 15:00 UTC til 05:00 the next day UTC works best

I’m not sure there is a time that is good for Russia, East Coast USA and Australia. 0500 is one idea. It’s only 1am on the US East Coast, while being 4pm in Sydney and 9am in Moscow.

Most anytime — I’ll be around. 🙂

The 18th on 21:00 UTC or earlier.
Marko Heijnen 8:45 am on March 13, 2014

All other dates then today works for me.
Eric 4:30 pm on March 14, 2014

I’m game for Tuesday the 18th, and Thursday the 20th
Aaron Douglas 7:37 pm on March 14, 2014
