vkmcvsham20, hi13:49
vsham20vkmc: i am almost done with my proposal but i am stuck at one point13:50
vsham20vkmc:i discussed it with my mentor and he suggested me to take some help from u..:)13:51
vkmcvsham20, sure, tell me what are your concerns13:51
*** samueldmq has quit IRC13:53
vsham20vkmc: so about the changes tht i will me making for the project..do i need to give a brief info about the changes to be implemented..like in detail...or i just have to write about the basic idea about it13:53
vsham20vkmc: it would be great if u could have a look at it...i can share it with u...just to be more clear about my problem.. :)13:54
vkmcvsham20, a brief timeline works13:57
vkmclet me paste an example13:57
vsham20vkmc: okay13:59
vkmcvsham20, http://paste.openstack.org/show/476267/13:59
vsham20vkmc: cool..thnks :)13:59
vkmcthat is what I said to another applicant, working on the timeline associated to Zaqar project14:00
*** khushbu_ has quit IRC14:00

njiraphi vkmc..are there any mentors for nova..?14:07
vkmcnjirap, hey there!14:07
vkmcI think there is14:07
*** newbiee has joined #openstack-opw14:08
vkmclet me ask, I'll get back to you14:08
njirapok thanks vkmc14:08
newbieehi neiljerram14:08
neiljerramhi there14:09
newbieeglad to see you here :)14:09
neiljerramme too!14:09
neiljerramI unfortunately don't have working sound notifications from this IRC client, so it's easy for me to forget about the channel, if I get too deeply into some other work.14:10
newbieeah I see. I will keep an eye for any response you give :)14:10
neiljerramIn case I do that, at a time when you're expecting me here, please do feel free to send another email!14:10
newbieesure thing14:10
neiljerramBut anyway, hello!14:10
newbieehi!14:11
vkmcnjirap, doesn't seem to be one14:11
neiljerramnewbiee: Are you already quite familiar with IRC?14:11
newbieeI have so far setup devstack and neutron in Openstack14:11
vkmcnjirap, we can try to find one... in the meantime you can try to start working on your application14:11
njiraphmmm.. vkmc..how do i proceed then..14:11
njirapok..thanks vkmc14:11
newbieeneiljerram: yes, I have gotten quite used to IRC. I must say it was challenging in the beginning14:12
neiljerramnewbiee: Great!  (for all of IRC and Neutron and DevStack)14:12
neiljerramnewbiee: Is your DevStack setup with a single node, or multiple?14:12
newbieeneiljerram: it is single node14:13
neiljerramnewbiee: OK, cool.14:13
neiljerramnewbiee: So, do you already have some ideas for what you would like to work with, in Neutron?14:13
newbieerossella_s was kind enough to send me a link of bugs, but I have not been able to look at it yet14:14
neiljerramThat's cool.14:14
rossella_snewbiee, I hope you can find some interesting bug there14:15
newbieeneiljerram: I do not fully understand what I need to do yet. But after reading up on the various components, I will like to participate in the cloud deployment14:15
neiljerramActually getting a link for a sensible list of bugs is something where I need mentoring too.14:15
rossella_sneiljerram :D14:15
newbieeah, learning never ends :)14:15
neiljerramrossella_s: may I ask how you did it?14:15
rossella_sneiljerram, no magic, I just linked the low hanging fruit bugs14:16
rossella_sneiljerram, the list works if people tag bugs frequently and correctly14:16
rossella_sneiljerram so what I do usually is that from time to time I go through the bugs and tag them with low hanging fruit when appropriate14:18
neiljerramrossella_s: Oh I see now, thanks. (https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bugs?field.tag=low-hanging-fruit)14:18
rossella_sneiljerram yes14:18
newbieeI see you rossella_s in the video!14:18
rossella_snewbiee, was it useful? hope so14:18
newbieerossella_s: still going through the video14:19
rossella_snewbiee, take your itme14:19
rossella_stime :)14:19
newbieeneiljerram, rossella_s: how long does it take a novice like me to contribute?14:19
rossella_snewbiee good question14:20
newbieeI mean contribution towards Outreachy application14:20
neiljerramnewbiee: There are lots of ways to contribute, and some of them can be very quick - by which I mean just a day or two.14:21
newbieeoh I see14:21
rossella_snewbiee, depends on a lot of factors...how familiar you are with openstack and python, how many hours you can spend daily, what kind of contribution you want to make...14:21
newbieeneiljerram: I am really interested in the neutron project because of my background in networking14:21
rossella_snewbiee, great! go for it!14:22
neiljerramnewbiee: Well, what I have in mind is documentation work.  That can be relatively quick.  But I don't mean to steer you towards doc work, unless that is a particular interest for you.14:22
newbieerossella_s: I can say I know almost nothing in python. It is only in this OUtreachy that I heard of OpenStack. But I am determined to face my fears of code.14:23
neiljerramnewbiee: But for example, suppose you worked on a bug, and found a relatively simple fix, I imagine that might go through the processes within a week or two.14:23
rossella_snnewbiee, neiljerram I have to leave now, will be back later if you need me...14:23
neiljerramrossella_s: See you later!14:23
rossella_snewbiee, I am sure you are in good hands with neiljerram ;)14:23
newbieeneiljerram>how many hours can you spend daily?: I can spend 4 hours daily for now14:24
neiljerramnewbiee: Do you mean for mentoring, or for Neutron work in general?14:24
newbieethanks rossella_s :-)14:24
neiljerramnewbiee: Can you say a little about your networking background?14:25
newbieeneiljerram: for neutron work in general (for the application process). If I am selected, then I will be able to put in the full time14:25
newbieeneiljerram: I started off working as a tech support rep, and later worked as sys. admin (windows platform) for about 9months14:27
neiljerramnewbiee: I must admit I'm not yet familiar at all with the Outreachy process.14:27
newbieeneiljerram: I understand router setup, protocols, server concepts, switching at Layers 2 and 3, etc14:27
newbieeneiljerram: using Vsphere to create servers and carry out tests14:28
*** annegentle has joined #openstack-opw14:28
neiljerramOK, cool.14:28
newbieeneiljerram: I however think I am in budding stage when it comes to networking14:29
neiljerramnewbiee: budding?14:29
*** vsham20 has quit IRC14:30
*** vsham20 has joined #openstack-opw14:30
newbieeneiljerram: I also used to support cloud technologies at the user's end (e.g OwnCloud). It will be great to go into the "brain" of cloud networking14:30
newbieeneiljerram: yes, "budding" because I don't think I am good enough yet14:31
neiljerramnewbiee: OK, I see :-)14:31
newbieeneiljerram: I am just going through rossella_s' video and the bugs link and will come back with my questions!14:33
newbiee:)14:33
neiljerramnewbiee: So, I'm not sure how things are supposed in work, in Outreachy, as regards whether an application needs to have a quite specific idea or objective, or whether it's OK to aim just to generally immerse oneself in the Neutron world and aim for understanding and contributions as needed, across the board...14:33
neiljerramannegentle: As I think you just joined, would you like to comment on that? ^^14:34
newbieeneiljerram: hmmm, I am not sure either. vkmc has been very helpful in getting me to this stage as well.14:35
neiljerramnewbiee: What would you prefer yourself, if there were no other constraints?  Do you already have any particular objectives or ideas?14:36
vkmcneiljerram, newbiee, its expected that there is a defined project (blueprint) for the applicant to work on during the internship process14:36
neiljerramvkmc, thanks14:37
vkmcbut we also expect that the intern get familiar with every task14:37
neiljerramvkmc, newbiee Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the timing of the internship process?14:38
vkmcthat is... help with reviews, help testing things and reporting bugs, help with bug fixing not related to the implementation they have assigned, etc14:38
vkmcneiljerram, the deadline for the application is November 2nd14:38
newbieeneiljerram: I don't have any specific ideas but I will like something that allows me contribute maybe a small enhancement feature to a functionality in neutron14:38
vkmcneiljerram, here are some internship ideas proposed by other projects  https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Internship_ideas14:38
vkmcneiljerram, and some information for mentors https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors14:39
neiljerramvkmc: thanks :-)14:39
vkmcneiljerram, thanks you for volunteering to mentor :D14:40
neiljerramnewbiee: OK.  So I think what we've learnt, in this session, is that I needed to ramp up on the process for being a mentor!14:41
njirapvkmc.. can we get a nova internship idea..?14:41
vkmcnjirap, that will require for someone in nova to volunteer to mentor14:41
vkmcnjirap, and we haven't to found a volunteer yet14:42
njirapso vkmc..it wouldnt be appropriate for me to start contributing to nova..14:42
vkmcwe can do another call for mentors but I cannot guarantee anything14:42
newbieeneijerram, vkmc: will the blueprint requirement be also mandatory for the contribution (in the application process)?14:42
vkmcnjirap, you can contribute to nova anyways, its an open-source project so you are ok14:42
vkmcnewbiee, it is yes14:42
njirapvkmc..but i cant apply for it..?14:43
neiljerramnewbiee: I think the next step then is for me to think of an idea or two.  rossella_s has an example at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Internship_ideas, and I will try to think of something like that in the areas of Neutron that I'm familiar with or working on.14:45
newbieeneiljerram: I agree :) thanks for offering your time.14:46
vkmcnjirap, well no, if there is no mentor assigned we cannot guarantee you can do your internship in nova14:46
vkmcnjirap, if you have an internship idea feel free to share it14:46
neiljerramnewbiee: I'd like to talk today to think about that, and maybe we can chat again tomorrow?14:46
vkmcand probably someone in nova will jump in14:46
neiljerrams/talk/take14:46
njirapahh ok..thanks vkmc14:46
newbieeneiljerram: sounds like a plan! I will also go over those links so I can actively participate when we next get together14:47
neiljerramnewbiee: In the meantime there are many things you can do to being becoming more generally acquainted with Neutron.14:47
newbieeneiljerram: can you please give me some links?14:48
neiljerramYou already know the ML.  You could try reading some of the sections in the Neutron developer reference at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/neutron/devref/14:48
neiljerramAlso there are the bugs that rossella_s pointed to.14:49
neiljerramAnd you have the actual Neutron code, because your DevStack system will have checked it out at /opt/stack/neutron.14:49
newbieeah I see. what is "ML"?14:50
vkmcmailing list14:50
neiljerramnewbiee: Also you could follow the #openstack-neutron channel in IRC a little.14:50
newbieeah I see :D14:50
vkmchttp://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo14:50
vkmcwe usually use openstack-dev14:51
neiljerramnewbiee: The thing is, though, that you will probably find at first that you don't understand 95% of what anyone is saying... That's how it was for me, anyway.14:51
newbieeneiljerram: yes I peak in there sometimes- it seems intimidating though. I will hang in there some more to get more familiar with neutron14:51
neiljerramnewbiee: But one has to start somewhere, and very gradually one can start picking up some of the jargon and terminology.14:52
newbieeneiljerram: agree14:52
neiljerramnewbiee: Ah, yes, one more thing, that should actually be properly accessible :-)14:52
neiljerramThat's the networking guide at http://docs.openstack.org/networking-guide/14:53
newbieeneiljerram: got ya14:53
newbieeneiljerram: thanks14:53
rossella_snewbiee, yes it can be intimidating but I promise that people are actually very nice14:55
rossella_snewbiee, where are you based? are you coming to the tokyo summit?14:55
neiljerramnewbiee: Shall we leave things there for now, then?  I'm sorry that I didn't already have some specific ideas ready, but I will try to have that for tomorrow.14:55
neiljerramrossella_s: newbiee I was thinking of asking that too14:55
neiljerramnewbiee: The summit is a wonderful experience, if you could get there.14:56
newbieerossella_s: unfortunately, no for th Tokyo summit. I am in Toronto, Canada14:56
rossella_snewbiee, well next time then :) must be freezing over there14:57
newbieeneiljerram: sure thing14:57
newbieerossella_s: maybe for others- I actually find it very nice, given that I just moved from Calgary Canada (colder area)14:58
neiljerramnewbiee: Yes, I think the next one is in Texas.  And you will have made contributions by then, so will get a free registration.14:58
annegentlewhat vkmc said, right14:58
newbieeneiljerram: ah Texas, that will be nice14:58
neiljerramannegentle: thanks14:58
newbieeannegentle: thanks :)14:59
annegentleneiljerram: I also like the Google Summer of Code Mentor Guide http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/what-makes-a-good-mentor/14:59
vkmcannegentle++14:59
vkmcyeah that guide is pretty useful as well14:59
annegentleAnd there are more links here https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreach/InfoForMentors15:00
neiljerramannegentle: Thanks for those, they do indeed look very useful.15:01
neiljerramnewbiee: Are you OK to chat again at about the same time tomorrow?15:02
newbieeneiljerram: yes, I can be here again tomorrow, same time15:03
neiljerramnewbiee: Cool, see you then!15:03
newbieesure! have a great rest of day15:03
