[13:46] <jphilips> RikMills: ahoneybun was making changes to the website menu and mistakenly put Download underneath Feature Tour and this should be corrected immediately if possible
[13:49] <RikMills> jphilips: done
[13:53] <jphilips> RikMills: thanks. please also remove community at the end, as that wasnt supposed to be in the menu

[22:48] <jphilips> the telegram has been created - https://t.me/UbuntuTesters
[22:48] <jphilips> i've already added 3 kubuntu members into it, so please leave the group if you dont wish to be in it :D
[22:50] <valorie> thanks!
[23:06] <jphilips> valorie: gsoc, interesting. what are you mentoring
[23:07] <valorie> I'm an admin for KDE
[23:07] <valorie> which means I guess I mentor the mentors
[23:07] <valorie> and direct the kids to whatever they can't find
[23:08] <jphilips> nice
[23:08] <valorie> amazing how clueless some are about simple things
[23:08] <valorie> like channel topics!
[23:08] <valorie> free software itself
[23:08] <valorie> how to use IRC
[23:08] <valorie> how to search the internet
[23:09] <jphilips> really, how to search the internet
[23:09] <jphilips> wow
[23:09] <valorie> you would be amazed
[23:09] <jphilips> i was a gsoc mentor for libreoffice, for the UI/UX side, not the dev side :D
[23:09] <valorie> but it's cool to guide a kid in and then meet them years later, all successful
[23:10] <valorie> nice
[23:10] <valorie> I'm not qualified to be a mentor, read code, etc.
[23:10] <valorie> but I can help them with their proposals
[23:10] <valorie> I'm a demon on writing unit tests
[23:11] <valorie> all the way through
[23:11] <valorie> not at the end
[23:11] <jphilips> so how many students did kde get this year
[23:11] <valorie> same with documentation
[23:11] <valorie> oh, it's just the second day of uploading drafts
[23:12] <valorie> we have maybe 10 so far
[23:12] <valorie> but who knows how many will make the cut, how many we'll request /get
[23:12] <valorie> usually around 20
[23:13] <valorie> used to be twice that, but that burnt out way too many people
[23:13] <jphilips> do you have a list of potential topics for students to pick from at a link somewhere
[23:14] <valorie> yes, that's a requirement for all orgs
[23:14] <valorie> before we can apply
[23:15] <valorie> https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2020/Ideas
[23:25] <jphilips> nice list
[23:25] <jphilips> any of them most exciting to you
