18:49.21 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 64377 brlcad/branches/brep-debug/src/libbrep/intersect.cpp: We were assuming that isocurve intersections along surface edges had to be part of the boundary of a surface overlap, but this is not true when two surfaces intersect /only/ at their edges, as in the case of two planar surface meeting in an 'L'. We have to do the full overlap boundary test every time to categorize isocurve intersections
18:49.23 Notify correctly. Previously, isocurve intersections that weren't determined to be part of an overlap boundary were discarded, to be reconstructed later. Trying to solve an isocurve intersection from intersection points discovered during general surface-surface intersection doesn't work well, especially when the isocurves are at the edges of the surface, so as with r64233, we'll opt to retain the non-overlap-boundary
18:49.25 Notify isocurve intersections and report them as-is.

20:14.30 teepee namaste: did you check #linuxcnc already?
20:15.07 namaste yep
20:15.10 namaste I did
20:15.18 namaste teepee
20:15.38 teepee I guess you want to do GSoC?
20:15.44 namaste yep
20:16.27 namaste mainly interested in realtime kernels
20:16.37 teepee for the general procedure, there's a student guide that should give an overview about how gsoc works
20:17.07 teepee for the specific project/proposal questions, you'll have to check with someone from linuxcnc
20:17.29 namaste I think only 1 person is mentoring that
20:17.48 namaste Sebastian Kuzminsky
20:18.09 teepee that's likely, new orgs will normally get only one slot, when lucky maybe two
20:18.30 teepee but if you do a nice proposal, that shall be yours :)
20:18.54 teepee the student guide is at http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ (in case you haven't seen that yet)
20:19.00 namaste ok but for that I need to communicate with the mentor right?
20:19.20 namaste ya I went through that
20:19.32 namaste time ago
20:19.37 teepee in theory you could look up the project ideas and present the proposal before the student application closes
20:19.49 teepee but it's highly recommended to get in touch before (like you are doing)
20:20.08 teepee much higher chances for an awesome proposal
20:21.02 teepee also you have the chance to maybe fix a bug or do something else (might be unrelated to the project proposal, but for linuxcnc in general) to show you've seen the code base
20:21.27 namaste do you have any idea when Sebastian Kuzminsky will be online?
20:21.35 namaste any specified time?
20:21.55 teepee sorry, I don't know. timezones can be a challenge
20:22.23 teepee basic IRC suggestion, post your question and stay around
20:22.40 namaste any google groups?
20:23.17 teepee right, check their homepage, they'll probably have some other means for communication too
20:23.33 teepee did not have contact with linuxcnc yet ;)
20:25.24 namaste ok
20:25.34 namaste I got his git repo and contacts
20:26.00 namaste Thanks very much teepee
20:26.12 namaste I think you are mentor right?
20:26.32 teepee yes, I'm mentor for OpenSCAD
