[15:13] <@carols> hi duraspace folks [15:13] == mode/#gsoc [+vv duraspace|cwilpe duraspace|bbrana] by kblin [15:13] <+duraspace|bbrana> hello Carol [15:13] == mode/#gsoc [-v comunes|s_a_m] by kblin [15:13] <+duraspace|cwilpe> hi carols [15:14] <@carols> aw man. another unsatisfying answer. [15:14] <@carols> we really like your application and your ideas page [15:14] <@carols> and we really wanted to give new orgs a chance to participate this year. [15:15] <+duraspace|cwilpe> anything you noticed that we could improve on for next year? [15:15] <@carols> i'll take a more in depth look, but my notes say this was basically just for space. [15:15] <@carols> but let me see. [15:16] <@carols> i do wish the fedora commons ideas page had a few more mentor possibilities, and i would like the duracloud page to have more ideas overall. [15:16] <@carols> so you could improve that for next year. [15:16] <@carols> but the decision we made this year was primarily because of space. [15:17] <+duraspace|cwilpe> thanks carols, we'll be back next year :) [15:17] <@carols> awesome [15:17] <@carols> please do apply again next year [15:17] <+duraspace|bbrana> should we consider combining the ideas pages for the projects, or is it acceptable to have them split apart [15:17] <@carols> it's acceptable to split them apart, although it does make less work for me if its all on one page :-) [15:17] <+duraspace|bbrana> sure [15:17] <@carols> just a nice thing, not required :-) [15:18] <@carols> thanks for your participation in the past! [15:18] <+duraspace|bbrana> we have enjoyed our past summers, thanks for hosting the program [15:18] <@carols> i hope you have a good summer. |

A few notes from the feedback given to other organizations:
...
- For orgs that have applied in the past, Google looks most closely at the ideas page
- The ideas page should include, for each idea:
- A solid description of the task that would be performed
- Technical skills needed to perform the task (especially programming languages required)
- Difficulty level of the task, or skill level required to complete the task
- A list of possible mentors for each idea
- Google is looking for a variety options for students in the ideas we present
- An example A+ ideas page: http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2011/Ideas
