[01:07] <balloons> I'll look at new stuff
[01:08] <balloons> wxl, can you provide some links in that task?
[01:08] <balloons> something like " Search for bugs through the Lubuntu Packages Team on Launchpad. " isn't going to be doable by someone new
[01:08] <balloons> heck, even i might have trouble. A link or two would be useful. Everything else looks goods
[04:30] <wxl> balloons: yes, but otherwise good?
[05:10] <balloons> Yes wxl
[15:58] <balloons> o/
[15:58] <balloons> I see some new tasks DanChapman ;-) awesome
[16:00] <balloons> wxl, are you going to be able to edit https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5490678339469312/ to add some links?
[16:25] <tvoss> o/
[16:29] <kenvandine> hey tvoss
[16:29] <flocculant> hi peeps
[16:29] <kenvandine> hey flocculant
[16:30] <balloons> hey guys.. 30 mins till the gates are opened, hehe
[16:30] <balloons> I'm not sure how sudden the rush will be, lol
[16:31] <tvoss> balloons, is there an official "we are open" channel somewhere?
[16:31] <balloons> tvoss, we're preparing an annoucement that will go out across official social channels
[16:31] <tvoss> balloons, ack, I thought about something officially google
[16:31] <balloons> this IRC channel, and the mailing list we've been using will be continued to be used by mentors and students alike
[16:32] <balloons> tvoss, yea, I assume as much, but I'm not sure. This is our first time doing GCI, and the first time in a long time we've done anything like this with Google
[16:33] <balloons> I mean, I'm sure there will be an annoucement from them, but it's not clear how they do recruitment efforts for students
[16:35] <tvoss> balloons, ack
[16:35] <tvoss> I'm grabbing a quick bite
[16:39] <samsruti> i m very excited as being an mentor
[16:40] <samsruti> i wish i could be a student and can try to win the SF trip :P
[16:40] <samsruti> lol
[17:01] <gjeet> Gates are open!
[17:04]  * inder is ready
[17:04] <samsruti> yeahoo :D
[17:04]  * gjeet is ready too :P
[17:05] <popey> \o/
[17:05] <kenvandine> yay
[17:06] <DanChapman> \o/
[17:10] <balloons> wahoo!
[17:10] <balloons> we've posted an annoucement to the fridge
[17:11] <balloons> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2015/12/07/google-code-in-2015-student-registration-now-open/
[17:11] <samsruti> wooow :D
[17:11] <balloons> the first students have already taken tasks
[17:12] <balloons> flocculant, the first task taken was to run the manual tests for xubuntu :p
[17:12] <flocculant> \o/
[17:17] <nuboro> hi
[17:18] <DanChapman> hey nuboro!
[17:34] <nubo> hi i cant register when i click next nothing happen
[17:34] <inder> Hi nubo
[17:34] <inder> refresh the page
[17:34] <inder> and wait for some time
[17:35] <inder> sometimes it takes time
[17:35] <balloons> yes, there is probably a bit of a rush to signu
[17:35] <balloons> *signup
[17:37] <nubo> i did that and wrote it again ich clicked next but nothing happend again
[17:39] <gjeet> Which browser are you using ?
[17:40] <nubo> firefox
[17:41] <gjeet> Do you have chrome browser ?
[17:41] <nubo> no but i am installing it
[17:43] <gjeet> hmm okk great!
[17:43] <balloons> nubo, it seems indeed google is aware of a problem with firefox and registering at the moment
[17:51] <samsruti> We are getting good response to our tasks :D
[18:01] <wxl> balloons: yes, working on it now. sorry weekend was a blur of activity
[18:02] <balloons> wxl, ack, ty
[18:07] <flocculant> balloons: just a thought - but is there anything in the general you can do things for Ubuntu that mentions they're going to need SSO account to do anything ?
[18:08] <balloons> flocculant, we can put together a student guide if you will, and we have the ability to link that on every task
[18:09] <balloons> If you want to colloborate with some folks on a wiki page of some content, I'd be happy to link it. It would be useful
[18:09] <flocculant> just wondering how many instances of 'I can't login to foo' we'd get :)
[18:10] <samsruti> yeah thats a good idea balloons
[18:10] <balloons> maybe drop it under https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleCodeIn/
[18:11] <balloons> so something like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleCodeIn/StudentGuide ?
[18:13] <flocculant> of the top of my head - SSO, bzr at least
[18:14] <flocculant> balloons: copy/paste the QA Set up Launchpad and Bzr/ Working with Bzr branches and Launchpad perhaps
[18:14] <balloons> flocculant, you could simply link them :-)
[18:15] <flocculant> or just link to them and not worry too much about the 'detail'
[18:15] <flocculant> yea :D
[18:15] <balloons> A little blurb about, hey this is ubuntu sso. hey this is launchpad, link to hepl
[18:15] <balloons> etc
[18:15] <balloons> :-)
[18:21] <nuboro_> hi can someone assign me https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4635551793676288/ please
[18:21] <gjeet> nuboro: you are already assigned, you can start working on it
[18:22] <nuboro_> thanks
[18:23] <gjeet> This year a student can assign a task to himself/herself. So if you claim a task that means, task is assigned to you and you can start working on it.
[18:24] <balloons> nuboro_, glad you were able to get registered
[18:24] <nuboro_> yes i tried chrome and there it works
[18:25] <balloons> they say firefox should be working again fyi
[18:26] <flocculant> balloons: got a basic SSO/bzr info page there ^^ now - gtg for a bit
[18:26] <balloons> ty ty!
[18:30] <balloons> tasks are updated and should have a blurb on that page
[18:32] <balloons> fyi to mentors, we can't review students tasks at the moment. There's a bug google is working on
[18:34] <gjeet> balloons: ok! thanks for update
[18:35] <gjeet> I was just wondering if there's any irc channel just for mentors and google developers
[18:36] <nuboro_> a question can the mentors now look at the task https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/4635551793676288/
[18:41] <balloons> nuboro_, they can't review it at the moment due to a bug. But it will be reviewed asap, don't worry
[18:42] <flocculant> gjeet: good point
[18:42] <nuboro_> yes its clesr that they dont can do it so fast but i wasnt sure if i submitted it
[18:43] <flocculant> nuboro_: it clearly says you submitted it to me :)
[18:43] <nuboro_> and know i submitted it so it doen't matter
[18:43] <nuboro_> yes :)
[18:44] <flocculant> balloons: gjeet makes a rather pertinent point - this channel I suspect will get noisy :)
[18:45] <balloons> flocculant, yea, if we feel the need to have a mentors / admins only chat, we can create one. Everyone seemed to like the idea of one channel
[18:46] <flocculant> right
[18:47] <flocculant> let's see how it goes then I guess :)
[19:07] <neel> Hello, my name is Neel and I'm participating in the Google Code-in
[19:07] <inder> Hi Neel
[19:07] <inder> Nice to hear that, how's it going?
[19:07] <DanChapman> Hi neel :-)
[19:07] <amitoj> hello neel
[19:08] <neel> I'm trying to work on this task : https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/4911452473262080/?sp-status=2&sp-is_exhausted=False
[19:08] <neel> It's basically to redesign the interface of the Shorts app
[19:08] <neel> Can I use Sketch to work on it? It's a proprietary software, but I'm most comfortable with it
[19:09] <popey> neel, sketch is fine.
[19:09] <neel> Okay, thanks :)
[19:09] <popey> neel, we have an inkscape based tool which can also be used
[19:09] <popey> but I appreciate people may need to use what they're most familiar with
[19:10] <neel> What is the tool you are using? I'm open to learning new tools
[19:10] <popey> https://github.com/halfsail/Ubuntu-UI-Toolkit
[19:10] <popey> Grab the svg, open in Inkscape
[19:10] <popey> It's really easy, like building with lego :)
[19:11] <neel> This looks good, I'll try it out
[19:11] <neel> Thanks!
[19:14] <popey> No problem!
[19:47] <nuboro_> for many tasks you need to know qml
[19:47] <nuboro_> is there somewhere you can learn sth about it
[19:48] <DanChapman> nuboro_, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/apps/ is a good place to start
[19:49] <nuboro_> DanChapman thanks
[19:49] <DanChapman> nuboro_, you will find lots of documentation and tutorials to get you going
[19:51] <Luis_> Hello, I  need help in something. I picked up a task for making an ad campaign, do you know if I can use an existing song or there are any copyright restrictions?
[19:51] <nuboro_> and are there task you only need to know a bit qml
[20:02] <balloons> Luis_, it's probably best if you use something like freemusicarchive
[20:02] <balloons> http://freemusicarchive.org/
[20:02] <DanChapman> From what i see most of the tasks that require just qml should be ok for someone with limited knowledge. And there's plenty of folks here who can help you if you don't understand something
[20:03] <DanChapman> nuboro_, ^^
[20:03] <balloons> reviews are working now. Feel free to review / approve
[20:08] <rioc0719> Hey, I'm Cristian and I recently claimed the "Build the terminal app and run all testsuites" task for Google Code-in, and I'm having some trouble running the tests
[20:09] <balloons> rioc0719, sure, what's going on?
[20:09] <Luis_> Alright, I will check out that site, thanks for the help balloons!
[20:10] <wxl> balloons: um, in the process of doing some regular sysadminy stuff, i deleted /etc so bear with me on those links O_O
[20:10] <rioc0719> When I run `autopilot run ubuntu_terminal_app` like it says in the Readme, I get the error "could not import package ubuntu_terminal_app: No module named ubuntu_terminal_app"
[20:11] <rioc0719> Excuse me if I'm making some stupid mistake, I've never used the Ubuntu SDK or autopilot before
[20:11] <balloons> rioc0719, you probably ran it from the root directory, and autopilot can't find the module
[20:11] <balloons> trying running the same command under tests/autopilot
[20:12] <balloons> also, https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/platform/guides/running-autopilot-tests/ if you need more help
[20:12] <bun_> hi how does Convince and convert users from Microsoft Windows to GNU/Linux works
[20:12] <bun_> how can you see if its done
[20:13] <rioc0719> Running it from the tests/autopilot directory doesn't work, but I'll look through those docs and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the link!
[20:14] <balloons> bun_, sure. For that task, you can share the story of who you got to use GNU/Linux. I'll have the mentor update the task with a list of specific questions you should answer
[20:14] <balloons> rioc0719, sorry to hear that :-( ohh are you using autopilot3 or autopilot command?
[20:15] <balloons> autopilot3 is the python3 version, and everything should be using that now
[20:15] <rioc0719> I'm using the autopilot command, but I just tried it with autopilot3 and it's not working either
[20:16] <balloons> rioc0719, ok, I can let you troubleshoot so more if you wish. But happy to help if you need it
[20:17] <rioc0719> Ah, I think I just figured out what I was doing wrong, I was running autopilot in the build directory like it says to do in the readme, but it actually has to be run from the source directory
[20:18] <rioc0719> Thanks for your help, balloons!
[20:21] <balloons> rioc0719, ohh! That sounds like something that could be fixed in the readme. Would make a nice task to file and fix that issue
[20:22] <rioc0719> balloons, should I try filing an issue or should I just stick with the task?
[20:27] <balloons> rioc0719, you can stick with the task at hand. I'll make a task for you to fix the problem if you are interested
[20:27] <balloons> It needs fixing either way :-)
[20:28] <rioc0719> balloons, I would be interested in that task
[20:28] <balloons> rioc0719, ok, give me a few moments and I will create. Thanks!
[20:29] <rioc0719> balloons, Thanks for the task and for all your help! I'm glad I could assist the project.
[20:43] <balloons> rioc0719, check out the task entitled 'Fix the README's for terminal'
[20:44] <rioc0719> balloons, Excellent! When I'm done with this task, I'll make sure to do that one next. Thanks!
[20:49] <Hulk> any mentors
[20:49] <SmajevicIrfan> Hello everyone, I'm doing this task: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/6605604168663040/
[20:50] <balloons> hello Hulk
[20:50] <balloons> hello SmajevicIrfan
[20:50] <gaurav_shukla> yep mentor here
[20:50] <Hulk> how do you claim task
[20:51] <SmajevicIrfan> Nicholas Skaggs has told me to first do the problem 'Setup a development environment for the QATracker', but do I abandon the one I'm doing and do the one he recommended or do I stick with this one?
[20:52] <balloons> SmajevicIrfan, hey, that's me :-) I'd recommend doing the setup first. The task you are working on will be much easier once you've done it
[20:52] <balloons> and if you like working on qatracker tasks, we have more to add
[20:53] <SmajevicIrfan> balloons, oh, thank you
[20:54] <gaurav_shukla> hi Nicholas, I would like to be added as a co mentor on this one https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5477576877277184/
[20:54] <SmajevicIrfan> that would be great, they're fun
[20:55] <nuboro_> who is nicholas ?
[20:55] <Hulk> I am Doing this https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/5091474953732096/?sp-organization=4568116747042816
[20:55] <Hulk> ok I will see you tomarrow
[20:56] <balloons> nuboro_, myself
[20:59] <nuboro_> ah ok because you said that i should test the programm i send a 2 screenshot (I think it has sth to do with that) but i dont know how to do it specifically
[21:00] <nuboro_> balloons : ^^
[21:01] <balloons> nuboro_, ahh, yes testing calendar. Do you see the qml tests?
[21:01] <balloons> under test/unitests, there is a .qml file with the tests in it
[21:03] <nuboro_> balloons   calendar.qml ?
[21:05] <balloons> nuboro_, tst_date.qml. See it?
[21:05] <nuboro_> jes
[21:06] <nuboro_> yes
[21:06] <nuboro_> that i opened in qt and send a screenshot but then i dont now what to do
[21:08] <balloons> ok, so use the qmltestrunner to run that file
[21:08] <balloons> like this
[21:08] <balloons> qmltestrunner --input tests/unittests/tst_date.qml
[21:08] <balloons> something like that
[21:09] <nuboro_> in terminal
[21:09] <balloons> yes
[21:09] <balloons> you just need to pass the path to the qmltestrunner as input
[21:09] <balloons> it's that simple
[21:12] <balloons> tvoss_, ping
[21:12] <tvoss_> balloons, pong
[21:14] <nuboro_> isend a screenshot but i dont think it is right
[21:14] <nuboro_> balloons ^^
[21:14] <balloons> nuboro_, I will look
[21:51] <gaurav_shukla> anyone aware if there's a GCI leaderboard this year ?
[21:53] <jun1707> Not so sure, haven't really checked out everything on the site yet.
[22:23] <balloons> no idea
[22:33] <jun1707> It's sad to be a person who has slow internet connection... Especially when all the files are big.
[23:34] <SmajevicIrfan> balloons, on this site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/ISO/DevEnv the link http://YOUR_SERVER/?=admin/config/services/qatracker doesn't have a q after ?, but it should
