19:14:50 <erAck> #topic C++ lecture recursions and fractal
19:15:17 <erAck> any questions regarding the lecture topic?
19:16:28 <erAck> #link https://invidio.us/watch?v=gCVzZDVDvvo
19:17:28 <izabela[m]> i dont have questions about the topic
19:17:48 <erAck> k..
19:17:50 <izabela[m]> but i want to talk about gsoc
19:18:13 <erAck> just a German saying: Rekursiv geht meistens schief ;-)
19:18:25 <htietze[m]> Lol
19:18:30 <erAck> means recursion mostly goes wrong..
19:19:23 <erAck> ok then maybe next topic
19:19:27 <erAck> #topic GSoC
19:19:41 <htietze[m]> My take on the topic: would never think about this solution but it's surprisingly elegant.
19:21:21 <izabela[m]> there is an Albanian student who is very interested in participating. we have been both looking at the topics and I would be happy to help him with everything
19:21:33 * Sweetshark sneaks in.
19:21:54 <erAck> izabela[m]: not sure if team work is allowed in GSoC
19:22:10 * erAck waves to Sweetshark
19:22:18 <izabela[m]> Klevis, this student, could not attend the meeting this time because of exams
19:22:35 <izabela[m]> I meant help him on the process
19:23:47 <htietze[m]> We require students to submit a not so simple easyhack in advance. Qualified students are very welcome at gsoc
19:23:50 <erAck> izabela[m]: well, first thing needed from him is engagement in the project, being able to build, do an easyhack
19:26:23 <izabela[m]> yes, i understand
19:27:26 <erAck> izabela[m]: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/2019
19:27:35 <erAck> #link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/2019
19:30:01 <erAck> htietze[m]: is the timeline on that page up-to-date with this year's dates?
19:30:21 <izabela[m]> in June most students in Albania have exams. my question: is possible that selected student have easier tasks on the first month and then advance for the rest of the internship?
19:30:59 <htietze[m]> erAck Yes, dates are up to.
19:31:06 <erAck> great
19:34:38 <erAck> izabela[m]: usually there's a project for a student, however that's split into individual task; problematic with interfering exams in June may be the phase 1 evaluation
19:35:41 <erAck> at a point of an evaluation (here after one month) it is to be evaluated if the student can reach the goal of the project
19:36:59 <erAck> so if the student is more busy with learning for exams it may be hard to actually work full-time on GSoC ...
19:40:10 <izabela[m]> 100 paper cuts
19:40:46 <izabela[m]> i was thinking this topic would be a suitable solution
19:42:24 <izabela[m]> start with simple ones and leave the tasks that need time for later on
19:43:32 <erAck> izabela[m]: depends on the project maybe, whether that's possible
19:46:49 <erAck> izabela[m]: does he have something specific in mind?
19:48:09 <izabela[m]> i do not know this for sure
19:48:42 <erAck> izabela[m]: anyway, invite him to join us here on IRC and on the mailing list
19:50:14 <erAck> other questions? other topics?
19:50:33 <izabela[m]> ok
19:50:40 <izabela[m]> about the hackfest in Tirana
19:50:56 <erAck> #topic Tirana hackfest
19:50:56 <izabela[m]> erAck:  are you thinking of coming?
19:51:13 <erAck> izabela[m]: if there was a date then likely :P
19:51:59 <izabela[m]> could you pick one of the suggested dates by Xisco in the forum?
19:52:11 <izabela[m]> https://forum.openlabs.cc/t/libreoffice-hackfest-tirana-2019/1658
19:52:29 <ishwaranand63> how should I contribute to libresoft ?
19:53:06 * erAck looks
19:54:25 <erAck> izabela[m]: wasn't it that you (not personally but folks in Tirana) should decide a convenient date? otherwise going there doesn't make much sense if people don't join
19:54:49 <erAck> ishwaranand63: https://www.libreoffice.org/community/get-involved/
19:56:34 <erAck> izabela[m]: and of course depends on availabilty of the venue as well
19:57:33 <erAck> personally I'd probably prefer rather Apr-28 over Apr-13
19:58:15 <izabela[m]> venue is not a problem
19:59:45 <thorsten> 'evening!
20:00:12 <erAck> moin
20:01:29 <erAck> izabela[m]: so any weighing the Tirana people would prefer?
20:02:04 <izabela[m]> i dont have a preference
20:02:11 <erAck> izabela[m]: not you, all ;)
20:04:15 <erAck> izabela[m]: shall we aim at Apr-27/28 and you gather voices of the others?
20:05:36 <izabela[m]> can you propose the dates in the forum?
20:06:21 <erAck> can do
20:09:46 <erAck> I guess we end the "official" part
