[08:20:44] <RahulHP|away> Could a mentor go through my proposal?
[08:20:45] <RahulHP|away> https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/student/google/gsoc2015/rahulhp/5629499534213120

[08:20:51] RahulHP|away is now known as RahulHP
[08:24:14] <Mandeep_Singh> RahulHP, can you tell me what to write in 'Abstract' on melange?
[08:25:17] <RahulHP> I think ,a brief summary of your proposal
[08:36:48] <exploreshaifali> Mandeep_Singh, usually Abstract contains - what the project is all about in brief
[08:37:28] <exploreshaifali> Mandeep_Singh, you can write the aim statement of your project
[08:37:41] <Mandeep_Singh> exploreshaifali, thanks :)
[08:37:50] <exploreshaifali> Mandeep_Singh, np :)
[09:03:31] <abhinav> walterbender, ping
[09:03:43] <walterbender> abhinav, pong
[09:04:23] <abhinav> walterbender, what are u guys using for datastore?
[09:05:03] <abhinav> walterbender, for in-memory message handling I am planning to use Redis
[09:05:03] <walterbender> abhinav, for the Journal... essentially it is just the filesystem
[09:05:28] <walterbender> I don't think we use a datastore for message handling
[09:05:40] <walterbender> tch could correct me if I am wrong
[09:05:56] <abhinav> walterbender, we need to for "Redesign Collaboration"
[09:06:16] <abhinav> We need to store messages in-memory for faster access and collaboration
[09:06:26] <walterbender> abhinav, works for me...
[09:06:49] <abhinav> walterbender, Well, I suppose It can be an improvement
[09:07:09] <abhinav> as access will be really fast
[09:08:29] <abhinav> walterbender, And along with that we will also need something like MongoDB for data store
[09:11:00] <abhinav> walterbender, Am I allowed to do away with the traditional filesystem for storage for my project?
[09:11:10] <abhinav> or I need to follow the framework?
[09:11:13] <walterbender> yes
[09:11:35] <walterbender> your project is new ground
[09:11:46] <abhinav> walterbender, Thanks.
[09:12:12] <native93> walterbender, ping .
[09:12:17] <abhinav> and Sir, if u can have a look of http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Summer_of_Code/2015/RedesignWebCollaboration

[09:45:31] <native93> walterbender, saw my msg ? .. sorry, got disconnected for a while ..

[09:46:22] <native93> nope ..
[09:48:55] <walterbender> abhinav, looks good
[09:49:06] <walterbender> abhinav, but please try to get feedback from tch
[09:49:24] <bytestorm> I am having difficulties in building sugar labs in ubuntu. I am behind a proxy network.
[09:50:04] <walterbender> bytestorm, try commenting out the sugar-web entries in the modules list
[09:50:08] <walterbender> it is in build/
[09:50:21] <walterbender> there should be 3 web-related entries
[09:54:12] <Abhishek> raj007: http://superuser.com/questions/226828/how-to-monitor-a-folder-and-trigger-a-command-line-action-when-a-file-is-created
[09:54:30] <Abhishek> raj007: http://gosukiwi.svbtle.com/vim-configuration-for-web-development
[09:54:54] <Abhishek> vim would be better than nano, and its powerful as well
[09:55:47] <Abhishek> now to make changes instantly over client from file system a trigger mechanism like c-jobs would work !
[10:04:09] <bytestorm> walterbender, what should I write in the impact part in gsoc application it asks for comment from two mentors in sugar labs should I post the links for my proposal here once I am done
[10:36:04] <ashiq> could anybody help me with how to pull request you have made on a Sugar or Sugar activity bug.
[10:36:22] bytestorm is now known as bytestorm_
[10:36:44] <exploreshaifali> ashiq, hey
[10:37:05] <exploreshaifali> ashiq, first you have to fork the repo for which you want to pull request
[10:38:03] <ashiq> ok did that
[10:39:42] <Mandeep_Singh> after forking the repo, clone the forked repo and make changes and then push them and then 'create a pull request'
[10:41:24] <exploreshaifali> ashiq, yes, as waht Mandeep_Singh said, just one more tip, before pulling check tests pass or not
[10:41:37] <exploreshaifali> if they pass then only push
[10:41:46] <exploreshaifali> to remote one
[10:45:24] <ashiq> ok thanks guys
