+ (+221) 3050 2829 2188 3301 3769 3222 2057 984 0

* GSoC 2020 (Ilmari)
+ https://opensource.googleblog.com/2019/12/announcing-google-summer-of-code-2020.html
+ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas
+ if you have the time, please do mentoring!
+ Student Application Period March 16 - 31, 2020
+ Application Review Period March 31, 2020 - April 27, 2020
+ students contacting potential mentors already, as usual
* easy hack future perspectives (Ilmari)
+ core devs seem to be of the opinion that difficultyInteresting should be the qualification threshold for GSoC
+ too late to change for 2020, but how about 2021? What does Thorsten say?
+ Muhammet proposed to have a new difficulty category. Ilmari thought it could be difficultyTrivial, for use with the ones like #pragma once and initializer_list ctor
+ trivial vs beginner, not clear which one is easier (Michael S)
+ can’t differentiate, either (Heiko)
+ sounds better to have difficultyMedium back
+ no rules from Google regarding that (Thorsten)
+ what is the advantage of a 3rd category? (Heiko)
+ not trivial and not challenging (Ilmari)
+ what is an example? (Ilmari)
+ most of them, unless trivial or challenging
+ could be the new default, then rank up or down if needed
+ e.g. sal_uLong → something else (Michal S)
+ but sometimes it’s more difficult
+ adding new tests and UNO commands
+ depends of if it’s copy&paste + adapt or something more complicated (Xisco)
+ approach: default to medium and it’ll be adjusted as necessary
=> no objections to make this written down / explicit
* mentoring/easyhack update
+ reviewing patches from first contributors is much appreciated (Muhammet)
