| 17:19.57 | mafm | I have to go to a congress next week, and I take the opportunity to go and see my folks after months of not seeing them |
| 17:20.30 | mafm | and to make a couple of exams |
| 17:20.57 | mafm | so I won't be available until the official week of starting with coding phase for gsoc |

| 18:21.37 | brlcad | he's a man of few words ;) |
| 18:21.48 | brlcad | more inclined to dive into code |
| 18:22.18 | ``Erik | morning, brlcad |
| 18:22.23 | brlcad | howdy |
| 18:23.15 | ``Erik | tracks yet another fine TclReFree bug O.o |
| 18:23.45 | brlcad | I tracked through the sources, tcl does define/provide it .. it's just obscured through a double-#define |
| 18:24.07 | brlcad | so if it gets the wrong header, there'll be problems |
| 18:24.26 | ``Erik | well, the one I'm seeing, I *THINK* it means to grab /usr/include/regex.h instead of $(top_srcdir)/src/other/tcl/generic/regex.h |
| 18:25.04 | mafm | who are the mentors apart from him -- erik, drossberg, sean... who's the last one? |

| 18:25.38 | brlcad | bob and john |
| 18:26.05 | ``Erik | brlcad is not a mentor, he's a meta-mentor |
| 18:26.07 | mafm | bob1961 is mine... what's john's nickname here? |
| 18:26.12 | ``Erik | daytona |
| 18:26.24 | mafm | ah ok :) |
| 18:26.37 | brlcad | ``Erik: ah, yes.. opposite problem .. another lib that find's tcl's regex.h would be bad |
| 18:27.07 | brlcad | mafm: so did you sort out a reporting means? |
| 18:27.35 | mafm | sean is a kind of demiurge... his nickname even fades with the project :P |
| 18:27.39 | ``Erik | thinks bob is an old-school email guy, not irc/im |
| 18:27.55 | mafm | the first time that I joined I assumed that "brlcad" had to be a logging bot or something like that :) |
| 18:27.58 | brlcad | ~dict demiurge |
| 18:28.04 | ``Erik | we'll learn him. :> |
| 18:28.29 | brlcad | heh, learn him good |
| 18:29.01 | mafm | <brlcad> mafm: so did you sort out a reporting means? -- I think that I put a link from one page to there -- the wiki I think, I'm not a fan of blogs |
| 18:29.29 | ``Erik | I got 3 metric tons of .3dm and corresponding .g models with a mapping table (and status/notes). I asked him to send it to you, too, brlcad |
| 18:29.42 | brlcad | mafm: so to your user page? |
| 18:30.08 | ``Erik | Redmond weather reports are predicting thunderstorms, with a 90% chance of scattered chair showers. |
| 18:30.39 | mafm | yep |
| 18:30.46 | brlcad | mafm: have you gone through the checklist, any items remaining? |
| 18:30.52 | brlcad | aside from commit |
| 18:32.05 | mafm | the one of assigning copyright do needs something special, like for GNU folks with the snail-mail permission? |
| 18:32.57 | brlcad | no, it's informal understanding, shared copyright |
| 18:33.33 | brlcad | I can write up something more pragmatic if you feel it's needed |
| 18:33.35 | mafm | otherwise I think that I don't have anything else from the HACKING file |
| 18:33.45 | brlcad | mafm: I'm referring to http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Checklist |
| 18:33.49 | mafm | nope, I don't think so |
| 18:34.23 | starseeker | Yay, I can upload the oed tutorial now... |
| 18:34.38 | brlcad | mafm: so the eight bullets on the Plan are your milestones, I take it? |
| 18:35.00 | mafm | Bob agreed, so I think so |
| 18:35.09 | brlcad | okay, just checking |
| 18:37.20 | mafm | who's making the protocol for communications (something was started, at least as templates, AFAICR)? |
| 18:39.50 | brlcad | that's currently being worked on along with the geometry engine work |
| 18:42.15 | brlcad | mafm: probably the easiest to work with for starters will be to just write a simple driver backend that will talk a basic protocol that is sufficient for what you need |
| 18:42.33 | yukonbob | morning cadheads |
| 18:42.54 | brlcad | e.g. modifying/forking g_transfer to feed you the data you need |
| 18:43.47 | mafm | http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Expectations#Design_documents -- the "-- Thanks --" is a |
| 18:43.54 | mafm | == Thanks == maybe? |
| 18:43.57 | brlcad | that example tool basically sends geometry to a calling client |
| 18:44.11 | brlcad | mafm: nah, that was intentional |
| 18:44.34 | mafm | ah |
| 18:44.35 | mafm | hi yukonbob |
| 18:45.35 | brlcad | wanted a footer that doesn't get added to the menu |
| 18:46.32 | brlcad | mafm: be sure to e-mail bob about your expected schedule |
| 18:47.28 | brlcad | if you can have any code/patches to review by then, that could be helpful .. so they can be reviewed while you're away on a congress and commit access can be established |
| 18:48.07 | brlcad | could even be today, they're not meant to be substantial .. the point is getting a communication process established |
| 18:48.09 | mafm | hmm, nice example that g_transfer, hadn't seen it |
| 18:49.43 | mafm | the patches can be simple ones? I thought that we'll be without commit access for the first couple of weeks or so |
| 18:49.59 | brlcad | it's doing things a "little" differently than what you need, e.g. you don't need the 'actual' geometry, you need names, values, display lists, etc |
| 18:50.26 | brlcad | mafm: i sure hope not that long, that'd indicate some problem imo |
| 18:50.59 | brlcad | they can be very simple |
| 18:52.07 | brlcad | two or three small patches that show you know how to communicate a concise non-trivial change (that conforms to HACKING) is all it really takes, could be done in just a couple hours if there's a mentor to review/apply them |
| 18:52.25 | mafm | I thought that it would be the expected time for regular would-be contributors, with project members giving the permissions instead of asking for them :D |
| 18:53.12 | mafm | which btw reminds me of IRC rules about operators of the channel and so on :D |
| 18:53.25 | brlcad | well, yeah you don't need to ask for it .. if there's a problem you could end up working all summer via patches, but if it was working out that badly, the student would probably get dropped after a few weeks |
| 18:53.32 | mafm | ok I'll see what I can do |
| 18:53.46 | mafm | if not today I'm probably going to come to the lab during the weekend too :S |
| 18:54.29 | brlcad | at least one of the students has already done enough patches and has just been on my todo to turn on their commit access already |
