Topic: End of GCI


view this post on Zulip Mahdi (Jan 14 2018 at 16:06):

Can't believe we're finally at the end of GCI. I know it was only a month ago when I registered on Zulip but dang, it feels way longer. Thanks everyone for making this one of the most memorable few weeks of my life.

view this post on Zulip Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 16:08):

Yeah! Maybe it's the end of GCI 2017, But not the end of GCI or Open Source! You're not leaving us, are you?

view this post on Zulip Naseef (Jan 14 2018 at 16:10):

I haven't got to do any tasks for more than 20 days due to my exams and other things. I will do my best in GCI 2018. Until then, I'll try to contribute to BRL-CAD (and other Open Source projects) as much as I can.

view this post on Zulip Mahdi (Jan 14 2018 at 16:14):

I'm not going to be leaving but work and school are really pushing my schedule to its limits so I probably wont be as active. I totally feel you with the exams thing as I've been trying to balance GCI with everything else and it hasn't worked out. Oh well, it was fun regardless.

view this post on Zulip Jeff Sieu (Jan 14 2018 at 16:24):

I totally agree. In this short month-long period I've really got to know a lot more about how to work with a large codebase, how to collaborate people across the globe that you may not even know, etc. It really taught me that communication is the key when it comes to collaborating with others.
Overall, I feel that I've only scratched the surface but it was really nice to learn new things from scratch, like how to 3D model with MGED, and of course get to meet all of you guys. :simple_smile:

view this post on Zulip Mahdi (Jan 14 2018 at 16:27):

Agreed! Meeting everyone and getting to learn about things has probably the best part. It's really cool to see yourself growing instantly with each mentor feedback. I mean, we all pretty much started in BRL-CAD as noobs who couldn't even manage to compile the software but now we know at least that much information to guide others

view this post on Zulip Mitesh (Jan 14 2018 at 16:29):

Got to learn many new things. This competition made me more confident...totally enjoyed here...talking and knowing you guys was an awesome experience. If I have willingly or unwillingly hurt anyone i am deeply sorry.
Thank you very much.I hope to see you guys next year too..All the very best and good luck for your future. :thumbs_up: :simple_smile:

I've learned a lot from GCI , That's why I love it. I've never used Qt or CMake before. I didn't even knew this legendary BRL-CAD existed before I joined GCI. and of course, Appleseed, a very fast 3D renderer.

It is possible to still submit "tasks" even after the last claimed task is completed? As in, they aren't recorded in GCI or anything, but just submitted here. I feel like there's quite a few things I would like to do but the time left does not permit it.

view this post on Zulip Naseef (Jan 15 2018 at 10:55):

You can submit tasks until 17th.

view this post on Zulip Armin (LordOfBikes) (Jan 15 2018 at 11:36):

Of course anyone can continue contributing, even when GCI has finished.
Only the GCI platform will close, thus one have to use the organisation ways to contribute after then.
This will not be credited by Google, but contributors will find their names in commit messages and contributor lists.

The common ways are to communicate about task or issues on IRC or here or mailing lists and then to submit patches on sourceforge or pull requests on github.
See http://brlcad.org/wiki/Main_Page#Want_to_get_involved.3F
and http://brlcad.org/wiki/Developer_Documents
for details.

I totally agree. In this short month-long period I've really got to know a lot more about how to work with a large codebase, how to collaborate people across the globe that you may not even know, etc. It really taught me that communication is the key when it comes to collaborating with others.
Overall, I feel that I've only scratched the surface but it was really nice to learn new things from scratch, like how to 3D model with MGED, and of course get to meet all of you guys. :simple_smile:

you HAVE totally just scratched the surface. we hope you all hang around, keep working on things, and take your skills to the next level. hope you all had fun too! :)

I find it rather weird to be doing instances of the same task

it is weird @Jeff Sieu ... we want everyone to have a chance at the interesting tasks, but also have to get everyone up to speed which can be quite involved (e.g., the appleseed tasks). that's not a normal way of doing development, just an aspect of GCI.

Now that GCI is coming to an end, it would be great to get some feedback from everyone: https://goo.gl/forms/izdpeU42d9N939AL2

same happened with me in the chess king task

if you're only missing one piece, you can do it and pull a scene together .. we're setting things up to have the complete sets available as sample models

614 tasks abandoned! That's huge!

view this post on Zulip Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 17:57):

that's pretty typical across the program -- people try a task and give up

view this post on Zulip Lucas Prieels (Jan 19 2018 at 17:58):

I don't know for the others, but I don't like to give up :) The only task I abandoned was because I had to claim another task before the "claim new task" deadline :)

view this post on Zulip Lucas Prieels (Jan 19 2018 at 17:59):

Also, I suppose you won't tell us who are the winners because Google does? :)

And what tasks have not been claimed?

view this post on Zulip Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 18:11):

Yes, we do not announce the winners. Google does.

view this post on Zulip Sean (Jan 19 2018 at 18:11):

sometimes the winners learn before the public announcement, but even then they're not supposed to say anything until after Google does

I think only grand prize winner got contacted by Google yet, as they have to submit additional documents.
But the winners are also advised to not make this public until Google announced the winners official next week.
So try to be patient please :wink:

I can already tell there are a few that if they didn't win this year, will likely win if they compete again next year ... it's a huge leg up

view this post on Zulip Naseef (Jan 29 2018 at 04:37):

If I won this year, I can't win again, So I won't have enough motivation to participate next year. But If I didn't, I'll be working so hard to win next year. That's a good thing IMO.

@Michal Hanus was in the top-10 with the rest of you .. and he was one of the grand prize winners last year :) couldn't win again, but did some really great work and is now working on a new tool

you really did a fantastic job despite coming into the competition a little late. there was record-breaking competition this year too. I can only imagine the advantage several people will have if they do gci again!

I'm definitely participating in GCI this year, it was awesome and this is going to be my last year.
And I didn't enter the competition late, I actually joined GCI the same day GCI was opened (maybe a few hours late). But I didn't complete any tasks within 10th December to 11th January due to exams and problems with my PC.

@Mitesh BRL-CAD takes a break this year. Speaking for myself, I've currently so many job related tasks that I find hardly the time to answer your question :wink:
Hopefully, in a few weeks the situation will become better, but this years GCi was too early for me.

Yea, I thought GCI will be on December.

Gci was indeed early this year

view this post on Zulip Sean (Mar 02 2019 at 06:06):

@Mitesh VERY early.. it started very shortly after the last GSoC event (the mentor summit), I think 2-4 weeks earlier. Hopefully we can do GCI this year, though, if we take GSoC easy enough!
