Is the mentor around? Feb 28 13:25:37 Hi.. everyone Feb 28 13:31:38 Anyone available for help about GSoC ? Feb 28 14:02:12 is bangleboard.org concerned with embeded coding Feb 28 14:05:58 how can a beginner help bangleboard.org Feb 28 17:28:02 About on and off (commute time) Feb 28 17:28:52 Akhil, have you looked at the ideas page? Feb 28 17:29:05 Anything you are particularly interested in? Feb 28 17:29:40 Akhil's probably gone. Feb 28 17:29:42 g90: ^^ Feb 28 17:29:56 Snowden, what would you like to know? Feb 28 17:30:47 hey zeekhuge Feb 28 17:30:58 bangleboard.org :D I think we found the next community board name Feb 28 17:31:09 all projects are available afaik... Feb 28 17:31:34 they are not allocated beforehand Feb 28 17:31:39 Hi zeekhuge. How's you doing? Busy few weeks for me so not been about much, just late night log reading. Feb 28 17:31:50 g90: Hi ! you might ask mentors now. Feb 28 17:31:54 and you should ask questions in public, since that's kinda the point... Feb 28 17:31:59 ok! Feb 28 17:32:11 I am interested for the projects I mentioned above Feb 28 17:32:21 Guess we are far from fixed on that being a complete list as well! Feb 28 17:32:29 jic23b: I am fine :) Glad you are here. Feb 28 17:32:35 best to pick one and do it up nicely... Feb 28 17:32:54 like the old days :D Feb 28 17:33:16 Oh ! Wormo s here too ! great ! Feb 28 17:33:26 and do it up nicely means... I need to apply somewhere Feb 28 17:33:40 True but that list has been known to expand as ideas firm up. Zeekhuge's project last year for example! Feb 28 17:33:55 how about a beaglebone-powered cat feeder? Feb 28 17:34:04 * nerdboy goes to feed the cats Feb 28 17:35:14 Applications don't open for a while yet. Now is time to read around ideas and discuss them before writing application. Feb 28 17:35:42 Applications open march 20th. Feb 28 17:36:06 How about a cat powered beagle feeder? Feb 28 17:36:26 :D Feb 28 17:37:20 Ah well cold wet cycle time. Probably back later. Feb 28 18:06:14 zeekhuge: heya Feb 28 19:55:04 * nerdboy in a lovely reqs wrangling mtg Feb 28 19:57:21 somehow getting people to document everything meeded is hard Feb 28 21:18:27 m_w: hi, do you have some time? Feb 28 21:22:03 pmezydlo: about to start a conference call actually Feb 28 21:22:14 but I can type and talk :) Feb 28 21:22:40 sorry to bother you Feb 28 21:22:51 pmezydlo: whats up? I am sorry I havent posted the fpga project yet Feb 28 21:23:05 this no problem Feb 28 21:23:29 pmezydlo: so go ahead I have about 7 minutes until the meeting Feb 28 21:23:46 and I can type intermittently during the call Feb 28 21:24:13 what do you think about my idea template Feb 28 21:24:31 enough for the whole holiday? Feb 28 21:25:08 and is it fine? Feb 28 21:25:22 :D Feb 28 21:25:40 as long as well get the board ready in time Feb 28 21:26:06 I think it is wise for me to ramp up the hardware development if I can going to mentor for the project Feb 28 21:26:28 or come up with a hardware contigency Feb 28 21:28:32 ok, fine, I won't bother you any longer Feb 28 21:28:56 I can start writing application Feb 28 21:29:02 for google Feb 28 21:29:42 putting this on the ideas page might flag a lot of competition ;) Feb 28 21:30:04 this template is a bit longer Feb 28 21:30:52 I guess there will be big competition Feb 28 21:31:44 I saw that jkrinder recommend using elinux page as a draft Feb 28 21:32:25 So rather I will use elinux page Feb 28 21:34:43 I don't know who prints 4 layers pcb in my country Feb 28 21:49:39 Enough time for a far east order for PCBs if enough wanted... Feb 28 21:53:08 pmezydlo: the elinux page is for mentor's ideas really Feb 28 21:53:53 m_w: not about ideas page Feb 28 21:54:42 m_w: "Feb 27 20:03:50 m_w: I encourage you to have students provide drafts as elinux wiki articles. I provided a project template. I refuse to have a dozen Google Docs open this year." Feb 28 21:54:44 the ideas are mentor suggestions Feb 28 21:54:49 oh Feb 28 21:54:55 yeah that is different Feb 28 21:55:13 new proceedures Feb 28 21:55:33 Google docs were irritating last year! Feb 28 21:56:44 elinux page should be more representative Feb 28 21:57:52 jic23: Poland is not as far west Feb 28 21:58:15 :) ups takes same time from China though Feb 28 21:58:53 Most our boards at work are Chinese made now. Get quicker times than local board houses. Feb 28 21:59:15 i wonder why do you think that I'm from china? Feb 28 21:59:53 ^^ sorry i don't understand Feb 28 21:59:55 I don't. Did a whois on you earlier so knew you were on poland Feb 28 22:00:30 Cheap PCB production is mostly done in china these days sadly. Feb 28 22:00:50 Usually 2 weeks from order to delivery. Feb 28 22:01:16 Crossed conversation! Feb 28 22:01:55 yeah my last consignment flying one weeks Feb 28 22:02:45 Cool. So you are looking locally in hope f avoiding silliness of building things so far away. Feb 28 22:02:46 yeah sorry sometimes I'm misreading Feb 28 22:03:22 Not to worry, sometimes I am mistyping :) Feb 28 22:04:15 Anyhow, loads of time still and suspect lots of interest in any 'spare' boards! Feb 28 22:04:41 I'm glad that I will do the FPGA cape with m_w Feb 28 22:05:04 the first time I will do something that has more than 4 layers Feb 28 22:05:18 great stuff Feb 28 22:05:31 Yeah. Very promising project, particularly nailing down all of the software stuff. Feb 28 22:05:49 Why more than 4? Needed? Feb 28 22:06:58 We assume 4 layers, a lot of elements Feb 28 22:07:25 fpga device, sdram, Feb 28 22:07:49 small power supply Feb 28 22:07:55 Sure 4 minimum. Hope you can get away with it. Feb 28 22:08:07 Keep cost down. Feb 28 22:08:11 most likely Feb 28 22:08:20 pmezydlo:can u please give a breif overview of your fpga project? Feb 28 22:09:10 check it out: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x_v16SO1Ugrv0432cTJ733nN-CIR7VaZdoBcdjlGFRo/edit?usp=sharing Feb 28 22:09:19 yup Feb 28 22:09:26 uka_in: you are student or mentor? Feb 28 22:09:45 i'm a student Feb 28 22:10:14 if you are get more information feel free to ask me Feb 28 22:11:00 Which ice40 are you planning on using? Feb 28 22:11:33 yeah this is interesting device Feb 28 22:12:20 for now I dont know Feb 28 22:13:16 We take care of it soon with m_w Feb 28 22:13:34 hx Feb 28 22:14:03 Cool. Fun stuff in hard IP in some of them, but not sure open source support there yet. Feb 28 22:14:19 Play it safe on that! Feb 28 22:15:05 Anyhow night all. Feb 28 22:16:53 I also need to go, bye Feb 28 22:42:10 student applicants can still submit their own ideas, correct? the ideas page isn't "exclusive"... Feb 28 23:20:46 yeah Feb 28 23:21:04 I thought he was wanting to put it on the ideas pages but I was mistaken Mar 01 02:34:02 if you like it you can put it there i think... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Mar 01 03:00:02 2017
