The coding period officially opens on Monday, and we'll plan to hold the first weekly IRC meeting for GSoC Students next Wednesday, May 16 at 10 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4. During these meetings, we don't have time to get into deep technical discussions, which you should be having with your mentor / the development community. Mentors and others from the community are welcome to come, but this time is meant as a tag-up to make sure the students as a whole are progressing.
Each meeting follows the same basic format: 1. Announcements by organizer (usually me or Joel) 2. Student Updates: What you did, what you plan to do, difficulties you encounter, and brief Q&A with organizer/mentors. 3. Wrap-up Typically each student should take about 5 minutes, and the entire meeting should about 30-45 minutes. The meeting organizer will call on each student to go in turn. If you have a need to go early in the meeting, you should communicate that to the organizer. You are however expected to attend every meeting in its entirety as part of your participation in the GSoC program. Repeatedly missing meetings, leaving early, or not paying attention will reflect poorly on your participation. Special circumstances do arise, and you should discuss those with the org admins (me, Joel, Chris) and your mentors. It can help if you prepare your update ahead of time so you can copy-paste in IRC when it is your turn. You will also report your status update on the Student Tracking Page [1]. We use this as a history of the meetings.
