Apr 09 16:01:03 <jkridner> will you guys be meeting ahead of the weekly #beagle-gsoc meeting?
Apr 09 16:01:15 <jkridner> we need to understand the status
Apr 09 16:26:22 <sidbh> jkridner: is that directed to mentors or students or both?
Apr 09 16:26:38 <jkridner> both, but mostly mentors.
Apr 09 16:26:57 <jkridner> we are struggling to get them to participate in #beagle-mentors.
Apr 09 16:27:13 <jkridner> they need to fight for slots right now.
Apr 09 16:27:28 <jkridner> by 'fight', I mean it in the most positive terms.
Apr 09 16:27:57 <ds2> "advocate for"
Apr 09 16:29:53 <sidbh> yeah, i guess a meeting in #beaglepilot with all mentors and students would be nice
Apr 09 16:31:18 <sidbh> vmayoral: can we arrange a time suitable to all the mentors for meeting...
Apr 09 16:31:26 <ds2> but having all the beaglepilot mentors show up in the mentor meeting would be ideal
Apr 09 16:32:25 <sidbh> ds2: aren't they all on #beagle-mentors?
Apr 09 16:33:25 <ds2> think only tridge
Apr 09 16:35:04 <sidbh> i guess there are 6 prospective mentors of beaglepilot for now viz. tridge, LorenzMeier, kevinh, samy_, ds2, panto
Apr 09 16:41:49 <sidbh> jkridner: pls, let us know the mentors who haven't communicated with you yet, the mentors i mentioned have shown interests in mentoring, we will ask them to join the conversation @ #beagle-mentors...
Apr 09 16:46:12 <jkridner> only tridge is in the IRC and none have been active in this meeting.
Apr 09 16:49:58 <sidbh> jkridner: thanks for the info, we will communicate with the rest of the mentors so that they can join the meeting
Apr 09 16:54:33 <sidbh> i guess ds2 and panto are active on #beagle-mentors
Apr 09 17:06:33 <jkridner> yes
Apr 09 17:22:38 <sidbh> samy_: ping
Apr 09 17:49:55 <vmayoral|pc> hi everyone!
Apr 09 17:50:17 <sidbh> vmayoral|pc: hi
Apr 09 17:50:19 <vmayoral|pc> sorry i couldn't make it today for the IRC meeting
Apr 09 17:50:36 <sidbh> which meeting?
Apr 09 17:50:41 <vmayoral|pc> busy day cause we're hosting the RoboCup Jr. this year
Apr 09 17:51:02 <vmayoral|pc> i thought there was an IRC meeting like two hours ago
Apr 09 17:51:05 <vmayoral|pc> but maybe i was mistaken
Apr 09 17:51:07 <sidbh> vmayoral|pc: cool
Apr 09 17:51:50 <vmayoral|pc> never mind then
Apr 09 17:51:56 <sidbh> vmayoral|pc: it was but for mentors not us students
Apr 09 17:51:57 <vmayoral|pc> sidbh: how is it going?
Apr 09 17:52:03 <vmayoral|pc> any progress?
Apr 09 17:52:23 <vmayoral|pc> sidbh: mmm i see, my mistake then
Apr 09 17:54:03 <sidbh> vmayoral|pc: not much, busy preparing for gre and completing my college project, all of which will end by 1st may :)
Apr 09 17:54:27 <vmayoral|pc> good!
Apr 09 17:55:35 <vmayoral|pc> from what i read at the BeagleBoard Google Group it seems BeagleBoard has been allocated 7 slots
Apr 09 17:55:50 <sidbh> yepp
Apr 09 17:56:41 <sidbh> vmayoral|pc: i guess you received my mail
Apr 09 17:56:53 <vmayoral|pc> sidbh: i did
Apr 09 17:57:15 <vmayoral|pc> sidbh: thanks for that! quite important that everyone is aware
Apr 09 17:57:22 <vmayoral|pc> sidbh: do you want me to do something on that matter?
Apr 09 17:58:04 <vmayoral|pc> so I was checking... 7 is one more student than we were last year, not bad
Apr 09 17:59:55 <sidbh> vmayoral|pc: pls do whatever you can, beaglepilot really needs the support of mentors as jkridner has mentioned
Apr 09 18:00:25 <jkridner> vmayoral|pc: actually, it is the same allocation as last year... we had a student drop out.
Apr 09 18:01:39 <vmayoral|pc> jkridner: mmm i see, still this year the interest has grown substantially, right?
Apr 09 18:01:55 <vmayoral|pc> jkridner: at least that's what i felt :)
Apr 09 18:02:44 <jkridner> a bit... activity on some things early has been higher... proposals up, but not all that much. I'd have to look at how many we had last year. about same number of mentors, but we had a lot of mentor turnover.
Apr 09 18:03:16 <jkridner> so, I wouldn't say substantially, just "grown".
Apr 09 18:03:30 <jkridner> the nature of the community is changing with BeagleBone Black.
Apr 09 18:03:42 <jkridner> many more people, but more casual people.
Apr 09 18:04:37 <jkridner> then there are projects like #beaglepilot with you, anuj and vvu|Log returning and participating.
Apr 09 18:04:48 <jkridner> very nice to have you all around again this year!
Apr 09 18:08:21 <vmayoral|pc> jkridner: it's our pleasure :). I am really glad I join the community a year ago
Apr 09 18:10:06 <vmayoral|pc> joined*
Apr 09 18:10:57 <vmayoral|pc> jkridner: I keep seeing more and more people using BeagleBoard's tools, specially in my research center, we're starting to introduce them in several robots. Really happy to be part of this!
Apr 09 18:11:08 <jkridner> :-)
Apr 09 18:14:34 <vmayoral|pc> jkridner: who is in charge to get an invitation for #beagle-mentors (Kevin Hester would like to join)?
Apr 09 18:14:58 <jkridner> what is his IRC handle?
Apr 09 18:15:57 <vmayoral|pc> i believe he uses "kevinh" or "kevinh_"
Apr 09 18:18:32 <jkridner> added
Apr 09 18:18:49 <jkridner> samy_ is added too
Apr 09 18:43:02 <greghaynes> jkridner: Hey - sorry to keep pestering but curious if your offer to get PRU compiler beta access is still open
Apr 09 18:43:11 <jkridner> yes
Apr 09 18:43:25 <jkridner> did you drop me an e-mail with "pru compiler" in the subject?
Apr 09 18:43:53 <greghaynes> umm, subject wasa PRU C Compiler beta access
Apr 09 18:44:00 <greghaynes> I can send another if you like?
Apr 09 18:45:09 <jkridner> I see, you sent it to my @ti.com address...
Apr 09 18:45:16 <jkridner> I just forwarded you the links.
Apr 09 18:45:24 <greghaynes> yes, only was able to get your email from git logs ;)
Apr 09 18:45:42 <greghaynes> thanks!
