| 07:03.25 | socinfo | "faq" is http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html |
| 07:03.30 | k03chandra | this is the first time i am going to participate in gsoc |
| 07:03.37 | scorche | k03chandra: likelt similar to last year's which is linked above |
| 07:03.39 | scorche | likely |
| 07:03.51 | k03chandra | can anybody tell me wat should i do to get selected |
| 07:05.31 | k03chandra | i am in the second year of my graduation |
| 07:17.04 | ajuonline | k03chandra: first thing you should do is read that faq page. |
| 07:17.07 | ajuonline | completely* |
| 07:19.09 | k03chandra | as i hv very bad academic record |
| 07:20.19 | thebolt|away | k03chandra: i cannot talk for any other project.. bt we never even looked at the academic records of any of our soc students (i've been a mentor/admin for three years) |
| 07:20.51 | ajuonline | k03chandra: the only academic criteria that gsoc outlines is, you should be more than 18 years of age and enrolled into a university program |
| 07:20.54 | ajuonline | afaik |
| 07:21.57 | ajuonline | there is no minimum GPA required or marks/percentage, if that is what you mean :) |
| 07:22.23 | k03chandra | what qualities do mentors look for? |
| 07:22.37 | ajuonline | someone who can do the job. |
| 07:23.23 | k03chandra | and how will they decide who can do the job? |
| 07:23.29 | thebolt|away | technical abilities in the project field, if it seems as if the applicant will finish, personal interest (ie someone who seems really interested in the area is usually better :P) |
| 07:23.46 | thebolt|away | writing skill (ie quality of the application itself) ;) |
| 07:25.34 | k03chandra | i got it,thank u very much |
| 07:25.38 | k03chandra | both of u |
| 07:25.41 | thebolt|away | also i shouldn't deny that it (for us) have helped in the past to have a connection to the community before gsoc period |
| 07:26.19 | thebolt|away | ie someone who used the project, been around the mailinglist/irc etc asking questions etc have been easier to put higher in evaluation |
| 07:26.32 | thebolt|away | if nothing else it shows that they/you are interested in a specific project |
| 07:27.27 | k03chandra | i have been selected for finals of code for freedom contest sponsored by SUn Microsystems |
| 07:28.02 | k03chandra | will it help? |

| 12:57.47 | k03chandra | can u please tell me the schedule? |

| 12:59.05 | k03chandra | how i should prepare for gsoc? |
| 12:59.25 | k03chandra | its the first time i am participating |
| 13:00.16 | scorche | however you wish...start getting to know potential projects, think of ideas of projects that you would like to do, etc |
| 13:04.05 | thiago_home | the best way is to scout for organisations as of now |
| 13:04.12 | thiago_home | and *actually* start doing work for them |
| 13:04.20 | thiago_home | if they know you and see you're for real, you're more likely to get selected |

| 15:26.34 | kosss | no i was not |
| 15:26.52 | k03chandra | does academic record affect? |
| 15:27.20 | RazZziel | depends on the organization, but it's always nice to have studied something related to your project |
| 15:27.45 | RazZziel | if it's an audio library, signal processing knowledge will help a lot, etc |
| 15:28.02 | k03chandra | i am very good at programming , but not good in academics |
| 15:28.05 | RazZziel | anyway, ask your organization, they'll know better |
