| JANVI PITHADIYA | hello everyone i am interested in participating in gsoc with nix and i am particularly interested in mproved release notes for Nixpkgs | 12:41:55 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | can someone please guide me in this | 12:42:16 |
 K900 | We'd need someone to mentor this kind of work and I don't think we have any proposals for release notes specifically at the current stage | 12:45:08 |
| K900 | If you can explain in a bit more detail what you plan on doing, maybe someone from the docs team would be interested in working on that | 12:45:45 |
| K900 | Also, posting the same thing in multiple rooms is generally not recommended | 12:46:38 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | i am really sorry for this | 12:46:55 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | i will in detail explain it | 12:47:07 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | * i am really sorry for this it wont happen again | 12:47:21 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | I am interested in working on improving release notes for Nixpkgs and NixOS. which was written in the project ideas for 2026 in the gsoc ideas for nix | 13:04:36 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | what i wanted to ask is that is that project is for 90 hour easy version right | 13:05:18 |
| K900 | The ideas document is not final projects that will be approved | 13:08:43 |
| K900 | And the times are estimates | 13:08:46 |
| K900 | Also, as of right now no one has volunteered to mentor that particular project | 13:09:26 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | oh ok ok i thought if the org is in the gsoc list for 2026 than orgs expect students to participate in any one of the project mentioned in the ideas list | 13:14:05 |
| K900 | No, the way it works is that an organization is accepted, and then has time to propose specific projects, with assigned mentors and contributors, which Google then needs to approve | 13:16:21 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | ohh ok ok thank you so much for the clarification i will research more about that particular project and provide more info if thats ok | 13:18:53 |
| K900 | I've also made a note in our GSoC coordination room (which I'm somewhat involved in), so if anyone is interested in mentoring this, I will try to put you in touch | 13:22:32 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | thank you which project you are mentoring this year | 13:23:14 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | is it ok if i ask that... | 13:23:28 |
| K900 | It is OK and the answer is none | 13:28:34 |
| K900 | I'm dealing with the general org wide stuff | 13:28:53 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | ohh ok ok | 13:28:59 |
| K900 | And probably won't have time to also work on a specific project in a useful way :( | 13:29:28 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | i am sorry are u a participant as well ? | 13:29:57 |
| K900 | A participant as in contributor, no | 13:30:20 |
| JANVI PITHADIYA | oh ok thanks for all the help so far | 13:30:42 |
