Mariatta 🤦🏻‍♀️ :python:<p>Don't know how other OS maintainers/mentors are reviewing <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GSoC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GSoC</span></a> applications. Are folks exporting stuff to spreadsheets first?</p><p>The fact we have to first export and manipulate data in another platform is annoying to me. Why is this the "default" expectation? Why do we have to export it first? Why can't the interface be more like pretalx where we can give our approvals and write comments directly there?</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NoSpreadsheets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoSpreadsheets</span></a> 😤</p>

warthog9<p>This is a couple of days past, but I couldn't get my spoons together enough to write this till now.</p><p>Many of you know James Lopeman, mostly by the name of Meflin. He's a <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@ThePSF" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ThePSF</span></a></span> Fellow, been an Admin and Mentor for <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/GSoC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GSoC</span></a> , and been around the open source world, quietly in the background as is his way, for many many a year.</p><p>Meflin passed somewhat suddenly on Wednesday the 16th.</p><p>It was natural causes nothing too crazy there.</p><p>He was the absolute pinnacle of why, we in the open source world, need to care more about the folks who don't code. Those that deal with infrastructure, or people, or anything else that isn't just the code. We are fundamentally better off with them in our communities.</p><p>So in his honor, go drink some tea, be a giant grump, and remind folks that "No. is a complete sentence".</p><p>In the words of Terry Pratchett:</p><p>GNU James "Meflin" Lopeman</p><p>Share around, because I think this is bigger than just him, but I think everyone needs to hear what he at least meant to me.</p>

Terri K O 🍁<p>Have a terrible headache today, but Doctor Hatch (dogtor!) is here to make sure I don't move and throw up my painkillers before they take effect. </p><p>Headache is definitely related to rejecting ~250 low-quality Python <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/gsoc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gsoc</span></a> proposals yesterday. Too much screen time and not enough sleep. I saw the signs but I really wanted to get the first pass done so no one else had to look through so many. There's still plenty of trash, that was just the ones that obviously didn't follow *any* of the instructions. There's 40 mentors who will help with sorting out the other 330 and evaluating them properly.</p><p><a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/dog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dog</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>python</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a></p>
Wagtail<p>Thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal for this year’s Google Summer of Code with Wagtail 💛❤️🧡 We got 69 in total! Lots of excellent proposals, it’s not going to be easy for us to select which ones we can go ahead with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GSoC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GSoC</span></a></p>
Terri K O 🍁<p>Ugh, Python got over 500 <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/GSoC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GSoC</span></a> applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.</p><p>So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.</p><p><a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a></p>
