Via WeeChat? But, I don't know if there is a ready to use plugin for this.

Sean (Nov 17 2017 at 05:16):

did find this: https://github.com/Stantheman/zulip-irc-ii

Daniel Rossberg (Nov 17 2017 at 21:17):

If it works. I couldn't find a confirmed alternative.

Maybe Errbot (http://errbot.io) could work too. It's chatbot with backends for zulip (https://github.com/zulip/errbot, https://github.com/zulip/errbot-backend-zulip) and IRC. An issue entry (https://github.com/errbotio/errbot/issues/322) suggests that it could be used as a bridge too.

Sean (Nov 28 2017 at 19:51):

hello @Michal Hanus

Michal Hanus (Nov 28 2017 at 22:08):

Hi Sean, thank you for the Qt tasks, I am really looking forward to doing them!

Mike Hulbig (Nov 29 2017 at 17:26):

Hello I am Mike and I'm in GCI. I can't wait to learn how to use BRL-CAD to do the chess board project.

Sean (Nov 29 2017 at 17:26):

awesome, welcome Mike!

Sean (Nov 29 2017 at 17:27):

do you plan on trying any of the coding tasks or will you be sticking to the non-coding tasks?

Mike Hulbig (Nov 29 2017 at 17:28):

I'm not sure yet im still trying to understand the prgram

Sean (Nov 29 2017 at 17:28):

well hope you have fun either way -- there's someone here all the time so feel free to ask questions

Sean (Nov 29 2017 at 17:29):

have you claimed the tutorial task yet?

Sean (Nov 29 2017 at 17:29):

that'll really help you get started

Mike Hulbig (Nov 29 2017 at 17:30):

Not yet I'll probably do that one next

Mahdi (Nov 29 2017 at 21:16):

Hey guys! I'm really looking forward to working with BRL-CAD for the GCI competition. I'm particularly interested in the QT tasks so I'll definitely check those out. Hope we can all have some fun over the next few weeks :)

Daniel Rossberg (Nov 29 2017 at 21:39):

Welcome @Mahdi , that's fantastic. There will be probably more of them when the GUI project is developing.

Mahdi (Nov 29 2017 at 21:43):

That's great to hear. I was also skimming over the official website and noticed a discrepancy between the homepage design and the wiki design -- was that intentional? Is there a plan to include a redesign of the wiki pages as a task?

Sean (Nov 29 2017 at 23:10):

Well also be adding more Qt tasks so keep checking the lists. Probably separate projects too with slightly different goals but working towards a unified result.

Sean (Nov 29 2017 at 23:12):

@Mahdi not intentional! Will be a bunch of website tasks getting added tomorrow, including wiki styling. It’s better at beta.brlcad.org, but still needs more work.

Mitesh (Nov 30 2017 at 09:37):

Hi, good afternoon everyone, i am Mitesh Gulecha, and i am interested in Modelling as well as programming tasks

Armin (LordOfBikes) (Nov 30 2017 at 10:17):

Welcome @Mitesh , gold luck and have fun!

Armin (LordOfBikes) (Nov 30 2017 at 10:27):

@Mitesh good luck of course (sorry, german auto-correction:-)

Sean (Nov 30 2017 at 13:13):

Hi, good afternoon everyone, i am Mitesh Gulecha, and i am interested in Modelling as well as programming tasks

Welcome Mitesh! Which programming tasks sound the most interesting to you right now?

Mike Hulbig (Nov 30 2017 at 13:20):

I was wondering for the"Learn basic 3D modeling using BRL-CAD, part #1 of 2" do we use the Introduction to MGED pdf

Sean (Nov 30 2017 at 13:20):

yes

Sean (Nov 30 2017 at 13:21):

how are you doing so far @Mike Hulbig ?

Mike Hulbig (Nov 30 2017 at 13:26):

I'm doing pretty good I'm starting to understand the program

Mitesh (Nov 30 2017 at 14:39):

Welcome Mitesh!  Which programming tasks sound the most interesting to you right now?

presently sir i am trying "to compile brl cad source in your computer" task.

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 07:18):

Hey Team! I'm just working on doing the 'Write a blog post on any GCI task you've completed' task on GCI, and I was just wondering if there was a specific place you wanted the blog to be? Medium, perhaps?

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 07:22):

@Sean Mind lending me a hand here? I want to get started ASAP :)

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 07:23):

the blog post can be anywhere

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 07:24):

medium would be great

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 07:46):

Sent it in!

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:15):

lol why didn't that message send

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:15):

https://medium.com/@ItsPugle/my-google-code-in-experience-joining-coala-getting-setup-c14d6112f830

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:20):

lol why didn't that message send

that's a nice write-up @ItsPugle ! sounds like you're really having a good time

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:20):

I am! I'm enjoying GCI so much

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:21):

that's great

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:21):

I've already got a bookmarks folder full of tasks that I wanna work on

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:21):

sounds like someone is going to try and win ;)

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:22):

Hey, it's a free trip to US! I'd love to have it, but that's not why I'm doing this :)

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:22):

god that's so cheesy

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:24):

winners earn quite a lot more than just a trip to the US :)

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:24):

it's a pretty solid celebration with other perks

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:24):

Oh lol /shrug

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:25):

well good luck regardless!

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:26):

Thanks :heart:

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:26):

it's pretty much anyone's game at this point

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:26):

Really?

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:26):

absolutely

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:26):

Damn

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:26):

I thought there would be a few people who are blasting through tasks

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:27):

this is only day 3 :)

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:27):

True true, but still

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:27):

do you know the rabbit vs hare story?

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:28):

anyone who consistently completes a task a day is almost certainly going to be in the top 5

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:28):

That's true

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:29):

plus we have harder and easier tasks .. if people are doing a great job on harder tasks, that will look really good for them

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:29):

quality over quantity

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:29):

Yeah yeah

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:29):

(That should be the Motto of GCI)

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:29):

/me points at those Appleseed tasks

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:31):

/me looks up appleseed

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:31):

https://appleseedhq.net/?

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:32):

well that's the open source project, yes

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:32):

we have tasks to get BRL-CAD working with Appleseed

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:33):

those would be examples of somewhat harder tasks I was just mentioning

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:33):

Yeah

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:33):

I don't really know much about graphics and modelling, but I'll have a look

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:33):

slightly harder, but incredibly valuable to us ... ;)

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:33):

and a fun project

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:34):

we broke it up into about a half dozen tasks for starters, but we can probably turn that into 20 tasks all by itself

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:34):

lol

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:34):

I think I might try-out https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5721465108299776/?sp-organization=5154791065911296&sp-is_beginner=False

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:34):

(i.e., if someone gets them all done, we have more we'll add)

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:34):

oh lord

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:35):

I'll try-out https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5721465108299776/?sp-organization=5154791065911296&sp-is_beginner=False, but I don't htink I'll actually get anywhere without me breaking something

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:35):

the first one is very easy

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:36):

if you have trouble with it, you should back up and do the brl-cad tutorials

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:36):

then maybe come back to it

Sean (Dec 01 2017 at 08:37):

grand prize contenders tend to complete 40-80 tasks, so plenty of time to get familiarized first

ItsPugle (Dec 01 2017 at 08:37):

Ah sweeto

Mike Hulbig (Dec 01 2017 at 13:06):

So im working on the goblet in the tutorial and i pressed ctrl z to undo an action and now it won't stop spinning

Mike Hulbig (Dec 01 2017 at 13:12):

please help its still spinning

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 01 2017 at 13:33):

@Mike Hulbig :))) ctrl 0

Mike Hulbig (Dec 01 2017 at 13:48):

@Daniel Rossberg Thank You!

Daniel Rossberg (Dec 02 2017 at 18:50):

Regarding usage of previous year tasks: There is only a small overlap with this years tasks and some of the mentors mentored last year too. It wouldn't be a good idea to use them again ;)

Mitesh (Dec 08 2017 at 07:54):

A question(Please don't mind). The speed of checking tasks seems to be reduced(no offence).. Is everything alright?

Sean (Dec 08 2017 at 08:25):

A question(Please don't mind). The speed of checking tasks seems to be reduced(no offence).. Is everything alright?

heh, yes -- it's exhausting, but fun! it will increase and decrease throughout GCI depending on what we're all doing. it will likely increase substantially Fri-Mon as there is more mentor availability (at least I am available more)

Sean (Dec 08 2017 at 08:26):

pretty typical for all orgs to try to take a little breath after the first 10 days

Mitesh (Dec 08 2017 at 08:34):

nice....All the very best:)

William Cook (Jan 06 2018 at 23:45):

pasted image

William Cook (Jan 06 2018 at 23:45):

Where are these files located in the src files?

Mahdi (Jan 06 2018 at 23:58):

Hey, what task are you attempting? It looks like your program isn't finding the QT libraries. Did you make sure to link it properly?

Mitesh (Mar 17 2020 at 08:30):

Hi @everyone
Gratitude to all the mentors and all the participants.
Finally returning for GSOC. Very excited. Missed alot ;)
