00:00.03 hcurtis Is there a list of #brlcad etiquette rules anywhere?

00:16.53 starseeker current step coverage: import: AP203 export: AP203, some work towards AP214
00:17.04 starseeker in all cases there is more that can be done
00:18.39 hcurtis starseeker: Thank you very much.
00:25.03 starseeker validation... um. The first step, at least for AP203, is to run them back through step-g
00:25.37 starseeker you might also check out http://exp-engine.sourceforge.net/ - I don't know for sure if that's useful for this, but it's something to look into
00:26.03 starseeker now that I'm thinking of it...
00:34.40 hcurtis starseeker: I appreciate it.

06:15.35 brlcad hi gaganjyot
06:17.13 gaganjyot brlcad: I had a closer look with brlcad and opescad
06:17.28 gaganjyot LibreCAD kernel is built as a shared library
06:17.59 gaganjyot and It has header files which can be included by openscad and brlcad for its operation
06:18.14 gaganjyot although the API hasn't been designed yet
06:18.31 gaganjyot but we are going to work and discuss about the API part in GSoC period
06:18.57 gaganjyot for the openscad
06:19.14 gaganjyot the functions could be wrapped and called in the interpreter
06:19.32 gaganjyot and it will display the output on rendering screen
06:21.11 gaganjyot <PROTECTED>
06:21.25 gaganjyot this code creates a new line in LibreCAD kernel
06:21.43 *** join/#brlcad devinder (~chatzilla@202.164.53.117)
06:21.55 gaganjyot hence same can called by brlcad or Openscad
06:22.04 gaganjyot it uses a few header files as
06:22.08 gaganjyot #include "cad/primitive/line.h"
06:22.10 gaganjyot #include "guioperationfinishedevent.h"
06:22.12 gaganjyot #include "cad/operations/createentities.h"
06:23.02 gaganjyot oops, remove the second header file. The only "cad/..." files need to be included
06:24.17 *** join/#brlcad devman237 (c318d242@gateway/web/freenode/ip.195.24.210.66)
06:28.26 brlcad gaganjyot: I know it'll be possible to use it
06:28.48 brlcad that's pretty much implicit because your task is to create something that can be used
06:30.26 brlcad the message I posted was whether there was any product/deliverable/outcome you could define that would help other projects adopt it
06:30.50 brlcad whether indirectly like making sure you publish the API in some succinct form
06:31.23 brlcad or directly, like looking at the other codes and figuring out exactly how it could be used
06:31.58 brlcad which obviously requires researching and investigating the other codes to be able to know exactly how it could be used
06:32.39 brlcad how can you make it easier for someone else, so you don't have to mention lines of code and multiple header files via IRC
06:32.47 brlcad that certainly doesn't tell me how we could use it
06:33.14 gaganjyot I see
06:33.42 brlcad like I said earlier, something better than having [insert project here] go get the librecad kernel and investigate themselves whether it might be useful
06:33.59 brlcad or worth even doing that
06:34.19 brlcad this is probably more a question of documentation as a product at this point
06:34.27 gaganjyot brlcad: I understand it. The API is yet do be decided. So the thing I can't add the documentation stuff in my proposal
06:34.36 gaganjyot right now
06:34.46 brlcad of course the API is not decided, that's irrelevant
06:35.30 brlcad i don't need the API itself to identify a deliverable of writing a document or header or wiki page or whatever summarizing the API
06:36.33 brlcad i don't need the actual API to figure out exactly where it might later fit into OpenSCAD or BRL-CAD, or what changes to the API might be necessary for it to be useful to them
06:36.39 brlcad when it comes time to implement the API
06:39.25 brlcad it's a matter of a) identifying how requirements might be influenced to encourage external use and b) publicizing capability succinctly as a product such that interested parties don't have to rely on reading the source code and hoping it'll be useable
06:40.52 brlcad those both could possibly have bearing on your proproposal and make it more appealing to a wider audience if you spend a little time to think about it earlier rather than later
06:42.26 brlcad even if the result is minimal change to your proposal, or identifying useful work for after gsoc like implementing bspline curves, or an architecture and capabilities document
06:42.32 brlcad make sense?
06:43.24 brlcad enwanders, best of luck thinking through all the possibilities :)

11:08.48 hcurtis If I upload my proposal to the BRL-CAD wiki for mentors to see, does it need to be of any specific file type?
11:09.49 ishwerdas file type?
11:10.09 ishwerdas You need not to upload as a file but instead, add a wiki page in BRL-CAD wiki
11:10.37 ishwerdas If you don't know how to do that, I can help.
11:11.57 hcurtis ishwerdas: Please.
11:12.10 andrei__ hcurtis: you definitely need to upload / write something on google-melange
11:12.15 andrei__ that is the official gsoc page
11:12.29 hcurtis andrei__: I did.
11:12.36 andrei__ oh, okay
11:12.41 teepee_ yes, i've seen the melange proposal already :)
11:12.47 andrei__ then you can create a wiki page on the BRL-CAD wiki
11:12.58 ishwerdas hcurtis: make an account for wiki by signing up
11:13.36 ishwerdas http://brlcad.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Main+page&type=signup
11:14.11 ishwerdas and then look at previous years proposals given in BRL-CAD wiki
11:14.22 hcurtis teepee_: Thank you for checking it out. ANY feedback (positive to scathing) would be welcome.
11:15.03 teepee_ hcurtis: if I understand your proposal correctly you want to work towards real code sharing between brl-cad and openscad
11:15.15 teepee_ hcurtis: I actually like that idea :)
11:15.34 teepee_ is from OpenSCAD
11:15.44 ishwerdas wow!
11:15.51 hcurtis teepee_: Yes. And thank you.
11:16.22 teepee_ i'd still suggest to have a review of other existing ways / libraries as I just got the pointer to the dxf importer used by librecad :D
11:19.02 hcurtis teepee_: I appreciate the feedback.
11:19.35 teepee_ hcurtis: i'll have a closer look later, almost lunch time here...
11:21.14 hcurtis ishwerdas: Thank for the information. Unfortunately, though, I'm stuck.
11:21.32 ishwerdas What happened ?
11:21.39 hcurtis ishwerdas: *Thank you
11:23.14 hcurtis ishwerdas: I created my account, but I can't find the previous years' proposals.
11:23.57 ishwerdas Here they are
11:23.59 ishwerdas http://brlcad.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2013
11:27.50 hcurtis ishwerdas: Thank you. I tried to figure out how to create a wiki page on my own, but I'm not getting anywhere. Can you tell me what to do next?
11:28.46 hcurtis teepee_: Sounds good. I appreciate it.
11:29.09 ishwerdas Just go to the URL of the page you want to create, say it's http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Username/my_proposal and click on create
11:32.10 hcurtis ishwerdas: Excellent. Thank you for all your help.

11:58.25 andrei__ I'd want to implement tgc, bot, pipe, ehy and rcc for GSoC for coreinterface. I left brep out as (to me) it seems complicated and I don't think I can estimate well the time to implement it
11:58.33 andrei__ how does that sound?
12:00.44 starseeker hcurtis: for the dxf proposal, it's also worth investigating DIME from coin3d to see if it has anything useful: https://bitbucket.org/Coin3D/dime
12:01.30 hcurtis starseeker: Thank you.
12:01.55 starseeker I don't know how it compares to our dxf functionality, but the combination of BSD license and already being designed as a library makes it of interest
12:02.26 *** join/#brlcad ries (~ries@190.9.171.121)
12:03.08 starseeker one question worth answering (I don't know the answer) is whether it would be easier/better to expand DIME to handle any DXF bits we handle but it doesn't and hook DIME into our conversion, or rework our code into a library

12:11.35 brlcad andrei__: note that will only show when he last *talked*
12:11.53 andrei__ oh
12:12.29 ankesh11 brlcad: Can you review my proposal? http://brlcad.org/wiki/User:Ankeshanand/GSoC14/proposal
12:12.46 brlcad hello ao30002
12:13.02 brlcad ankesh11: not right at the moment, but maybe later today
12:13.13 brlcad i'm going to be in and out much of the day
12:14.34 andrei__ brlcad: quick q, if you've got time. What's the level of detail the proposal should have on primitive classes
12:14.41 ankesh11 That's okay. Will wait for the review then.
12:14.42 brlcad ao30002: I saw your note and appreciate you speaking up -- there's no trick for that proposal but you'll have to do your homework in order to sufficiently explain how you'll implement the interface within our system
12:14.54 brlcad ankesh11: don't wait! just keep working on something else :)
12:15.16 brlcad there's not much time until the deadline, everyone should be busy ...
12:15.36 andrei__ i.e would I need to describe methods and behavior or a general class description would be alright?
12:15.37 brlcad hcurtis: does not need to be any specific file type
12:16.03 ankesh11 Sure.
12:16.29 brlcad andrei__: it's hard to say what would be alright, it depends
12:17.44 andrei__ It's difficult to give a detailed class description without 'parsing' the librt versions, it would probably take more time than it's left
12:18.13 hcurtis brlcad: Thank you. Someone was cool enough to show me how to get a draft of my proposal on the wiki. It's on Melange, too.
12:18.23 brlcad great
12:19.01 brlcad andrei__: well if it'll take more time than is left, that's not really an option is it
12:20.09 andrei__ yeah..
12:21.15 brlcad do what you can, maybe summarize your question on the mailing list -- rossberg might be able to reply there
12:21.23 brlcad or maybe rewording I can give you a better answer ;)
12:21.28 brlcad but gotta run, ttyl

19:43.47 raj12lnm hi javampire!
19:44.32 javampire raj12lnm: Hi there :-)
19:45.02 raj12lnm javampire : I wish to detail my proposal with the implementation of nurb.
19:45.21 raj12lnm can u give me an idea about nurb.
19:45.23 *** part/#brlcad gaganjyot (~gagan@49.138.96.147)
19:47.13 javampire raj12lnm: well I have not much idea myself about NURBs, otherwise I would have done it myself already...
19:48.02 javampire you're supposed to do research on your own, I can help when you get stuck, but you need to ask specific questions
19:48.47 javampire ask specific questions about what you can't figure out

19:53.56 rhaps0dy Hello!
19:54.05 rhaps0dy Do you seriously have the oldest code repository in the world?
20:03.06 ishwerdas what made you doubt?
20:07.46 infinite hey running voxelize command in my build project hangs the software, is the case similar with you ?
20:33.01 rhaps0dy ishwerdas has left :/
20:33.13 rhaps0dy I was going to ask him how do you know you're the oldest?
20:34.01 andrei__ if you're really curious about it
20:34.09 andrei__ you can post it on the mailinglist
20:34.15 andrei__ I think someone knows, probably Sean

22:25.39 teepee looks around
22:26.02 rhaps0dy so, uh, I want to do the OpenCL raytracer for NURBS curves
22:26.14 rhaps0dy sorry, surfaces
22:26.29 rhaps0dy should I just write a proposal on melange?
22:27.03 teepee looking at the calender, yes, that's pretty much needed quite soon
22:27.35 teepee still you should try to catch someone to discuss this in a bit more detail
22:28.54 rhaps0dy That's what I'm trying to do right now.
22:29.03 rhaps0dy I'm sorry, I had exams until today afternoon
22:29.19 rhaps0dy and I just saw brlCAD a couple hours ago really :/
22:30.00 teepee you still a little bit of time, so if you catch up fast, there's still a chance I guess
22:30.09 rhaps0dy yeah
22:30.14 rhaps0dy there's still more than 20 hours!
22:30.15 rhaps0dy heh
22:30.48 teepee you've registered the melange account and that stuff?
22:31.08 rhaps0dy yes
22:31.20 rhaps0dy I confess I have already almost finished writing another proposal
22:31.43 rhaps0dy I'm sending several to increase the chances of someone wanting me
22:31.58 teepee that's fine, in theory you even could submit 5 (which is probably not a good idea)
22:32.56 rhaps0dy it's not?
22:33.19 teepee well, if you manage to produce 5 awesome proposals, even that is fine
22:33.31 drv_ rhaps0dy: hi again! I wrote on IRC over week ago about OpenCL GPGPU Raytracing... It's a pity, but I have to postpone writing my application to today... Is this project now very crowded?
22:33.36 rhaps0dy I'm working on each of them like they were the only one
22:33.40 teepee but normally it takes some time to make it a good one
22:33.43 rhaps0dy drv_, I don't think so
22:33.47 drv_ ohh, sorry, it shouldn't be addresed
22:34.09 rhaps0dy teepee: I know it does.
22:34.28 rhaps0dy also I've been thinking of projects for the whole week
22:34.54 rhaps0dy drv_, so everyone is interested in that?
22:38.52 drv_ rhaps0dy: you think about same project as I?
22:39.00 rhaps0dy well, yes
22:39.18 rhaps0dy it jumped to my eyes in the ideas page
22:49.20 drv_ where in this project you see something about NURBS surfaces? It's same thing as "primitives"?
22:54.27 rhaps0dy yes and no
22:54.47 rhaps0dy all primitives are NURBS surfaces
22:54.51 rhaps0dy but the reverse is not true
22:54.59 rhaps0dy all NURBS primitives *
22:55.09 rhaps0dy assuming they are indeed surfaces
