| 18:15.12 | kesha | brlcad: Hows your job going ? too many application reviewing and everything. Might be getting very hectic ! ;) |
| 18:15.55 | brlcad | most of the reviews are done, just waiting for more patches to review to help understand everyone's ability level |
| 18:18.41 | kesha | Great. I read in the prev archives that who the mentor actually assigned to us doesn't really matter and we would be discussing everything on IRC or ml. Is it so ? |
| 18:19.03 | brlcad | in general yes |
| 18:19.26 | brlcad | for step projects, the student will be expected to keep in touch with and talk to two (closely related) communities |
| 18:19.32 | brlcad | namely stepcode and brl-cad |
| 18:20.25 | brlcad | so keeping mark and charlie informed for stepcode and any/all of the brl-cad devs for the step-g side of things (testing, validation, feature exposure) |
| 18:20.48 | kesha | I mean I am comfortable with Mark and hope that he is also kind of fine with me, we have a good tuning till now. So, the project will go quite smoothly if I have his support. |
| 18:21.29 | brlcad | <PROTECTED> |
| 18:21.30 | kesha | Okay, so from now onwards I will keep Charlie too in cc in mails regarding step. |
| 18:21.45 | brlcad | kesha: so that's one important point |
| 18:21.53 | brlcad | discussions should be public |
| 18:21.58 | brlcad | it's hard, but you gotta do it :) |
| 18:22.08 | brlcad | even if you're just talking to mark, talk to him on the stepcode mailing list |
| 18:22.14 | brlcad | not in private e-mails |
| 18:22.38 | brlcad | otherwise everyone else is in the dark and it doesn't look like you're doing anything |
| 18:22.40 | kesha | oh, we hav been discussing through mails from past few days ! |
| 18:22.54 | brlcad | i'm sure, it's a common mistake |
| 18:23.19 | brlcad | it's fine if that's how he WANTS to talk with you, but I see no reason why you shouldn't be openly discussing your progress and activity |
| 18:23.46 | brlcad | open source is all about open communication, sharing ideas |
| 18:23.59 | brlcad | sharing knowledge, progress, activity |
| 18:24.04 | kesha | Sure. I will follow your advice. And your point is absolutely valid, some other dev might have better idea . |
| 18:24.10 | brlcad | the good and the bad, it's really okay :) |
| 18:25.07 | brlcad | if someone has a problem with something, it's better to have that discussion earlier rather than later (when it may be too late) |
| 18:25.41 | brlcad | usually, though, it's just so others are aware what's going on, why you go down a particular development path, even if they don't contribute to the conversation |
| 18:26.12 | brlcad | and best case, they jump in and help or contribute betters ideas you didn't think of |
| 18:27.52 | kesha | hmm.agree with you. Regarding summer, I have my cousin's wedding from 25th may-3rd June upcoming( Indian marraiges you see!). |
| 18:32.42 | kesha | Right now, I am spending some time at home with my family, but will be going back to hostel in June and July, inspite of no lectures and holidays in school. I hardly get some time during day to work at home. Looking forward for a "summer full of coding" :) |
| 18:35.09 | kesha | brlcad: What do you do in your fulltime besides Development of BRL-CAD ? |
| 18:53.37 | brlcad | I row (crew), teach rowing, do woodworking, house remodeling projects, and movies |
| 18:53.48 | brlcad | but open source does get the vast majority of my time |
| 18:54.03 | brlcad | BRL-CAD especially, but I'm involved in numerous projects |
| 18:55.43 | kesha | good. Other projects like ? |
| 18:56.53 | brlcad | BZFlag |
| 18:56.56 | brlcad | Mil-OSS |
| 18:56.59 | brlcad | stepcode |
| 18:57.03 | brlcad | ... |
| 18:59.06 | kesha | googling :) |
| 19:07.05 | brlcad | ftgl |
| 19:07.07 | brlcad | corredor |
| 19:07.42 | brlcad | autogen.sh |
| 19:07.44 | brlcad | libirc |
| 19:07.48 | brlcad | syncmail |
| 19:08.26 | brlcad | ... that's the beauty of open source, you can get involved in pretty much anything that interests you |
| 19:08.42 | brlcad | if you count the projects I contribute to but aren't directly a part of, that list explodes |
| 19:10.57 | kesha | that sounds really cool. I regret I was not introduced to open source for 18 years |
