| 09:44.26 | gescoe | Hello |
| 09:45.10 | gescoe | I want to help contribute to open source, but I'm not affiliated with a college per se. Can I still volunteer ? |
| 09:45.52 | multun | sure |
| 09:46.28 | multun | open source is like |
| 09:46.31 | multun | open |
| 09:49.49 | gescoe | I think I'd be much more directed in my approach if I could find someone willing to mentor |
| 09:53.43 | multun | What do you want to work on ? |
| 10:04.01 | gescoe | On security, cryptography fascinates me @multun |
| 10:05.20 | multun | well security isn't an open source project :) |
| 10:06.09 | multun | you'll have a hard time finding a mentor unless you know what project you'd like to get involved in |
| 10:06.34 | gescoe | True |
| 10:07.18 | *** join/#gsoc Andre_H (~german_wi@dslb-188-110-233-007.188.110.pools.vodafone-ip.de) |
| 10:07.37 | gescoe | I want to work on something that impacts people in real time |
| 10:07.58 | multun | well that description matches quite a lot of open source project |
| 10:08.01 | multun | projects* |
| 10:08.34 | multun | unless you choose a project with no users, it'll have an impact |
| 10:09.11 | gescoe | If I could narrow down on a project, I would reach out to a project collaborator offering to help |
| 10:09.32 | gescoe | its just that I think there's quite a lot I don't see just yet |
| 10:10.54 | gevaerts | !studentguide |
| 10:10.55 | gsocbot | gevaerts: https://g.co/gsoc/studentguide |
| 10:12.40 | gevaerts | gescoe: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/choosing-an-organization has a bit about that. If you're not thinking in pure gsoc terms, you're not restricted by the gsoc organisation list of course, but there are some decent tips in there |
| 10:13.12 | gevaerts | I'd recommend looking around the software you use yourself and seeing if there's anything in there that looks interesting |
| 10:13.55 | gescoe | I don't intend to be limited by gsoc list |
| 10:14.34 | multun | gescoe: how about iPXE ? it's a popular network bootloader with a wonderful codebase and room for crypto improvement |
| 10:14.58 | gescoe | At times, I write documentation for stuff I find on github |
| 10:16.04 | multun | gescoe: this list isn't there to limit you, it's there to help you find your way |
| 10:18.48 | gescoe | Very true. I didn't mean that it is limiting my options. I meant that I could contribute to stuff that aren't a part of the list as well |
| 10:20.05 | gescoe | I'm checking out Ipxe: https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/tree/HEAD:/src/crypto |
| 10:21.20 | gescoe | Its got stuff in C; the mistake is mine, I should've conveyed what I work on. I'm good with JS and python. |
| 10:22.28 | gescoe | My github: https://github.com/prahaladbelavadi |
| 10:26.31 | gescoe | I'm not sure if that was a stupid move, putting my id on an IRC channel; |
| 10:26.57 | multun | why would it be ? |
| 10:27.54 | multun | google my nick you'll find why I am, and the same fact holds for quite many people there |
| 10:28.01 | multun | who I am* |
| 10:29.51 | gescoe | Well, IRC channels have a significantly notorious reputation for having people with malicious intent misusing information |
| 10:32.04 | gescoe | Found your github and CTF |
| 10:41.04 | multun | I've been on IRC for years and never had any issues |
| 10:42.02 | multun | Even speakers at infosec conferences sometimes use a nick linked to their real ID |
| 10:42.53 | multun | Btw you'll have a hard time finding crypto in python /good js code |
| 10:43.32 | gescoe | That's good. I'm relatively new to this whole IRC world; tradeoff b/w brand value vs protecting identity |
| 10:45.29 | gescoe | What tools/languages would you recommend I equip myself with for being able to contribute to security |
| 10:45.52 | multun | A big fat cup of coffee and a keyboard |
| 10:46.45 | achillion | itchy typing fingers |
| 10:46.56 | multun | I guess any strongly typed language would do the trick |
| 10:47.12 | multun | How about doing it the other way around ? |
| 10:47.20 | gescoe | lol what do you mean |
| 10:47.41 | gescoe | Go by whatever language/tools the project is using ? |
| 10:47.45 | multun | Find a project first, then learn about its language and env |
| 10:47.56 | multun | Yeah that's it |
| 10:49.36 | gescoe | That's one approach |
| 10:50.32 | gescoe | I'm reading Bruce Schneier's book on applied crypto; its got algortihms in C; debating vs C and go |
| 10:51.16 | achillion | Most crypto things are written in C, I believe |
| 10:52.12 | gescoe | Thanks; |
| 10:52.31 | gescoe | C it is. At least to get me started |
| 10:53.35 | multun | Rust might be a good choice as well |
| 10:53.38 | achillion | it's not that you can't work in crypto and security without C. A lot of higher level software is written around core C libraries in a bunch of other languages. |
| 10:55.37 | gescoe | Rust is picking up; Like translated languages you mean ? @achillion |
| 11:02.56 | gescoe | scratch that; was a stupid question |
| 11:04.25 | gescoe | I'm gonna go research a little. Thanks @multun @achillion; Was nice talking to you both; |
| 11:04.32 | gescoe | Cheers! |

| 19:11.00 | pitanga | Does anybody know why residents of Brazil, Italy and Quebec (beyond the obvious "embargoed countries") are ineligible for GCI? GSoC rules mention "embargoed countries" only. Any local regulations regarding minors? I'm from Brazil and my students are upset. |
| 19:12.39 | olly | pitanga: it's likely local laws which are problematic for how GCI works |
| 19:13.06 | olly | quite possibly well-intentioned ones aimed at protecting children online |
| 19:14.30 | olly | actually, the Quebec one is probably to do with sweepstakes laws there - https://www.thebalanceeveryday.com/why-are-so-many-competitions-void-in-quebec-896835 |
| 19:16.28 | PulkoMandy | yes, IIRC Italia does not allow contests for children or something like that |
| 19:17.02 | Robert_S | What olly and PulkoMandy said. We would if we could. |
| 19:19.03 | pitanga | I'm not aware of such legislations here in Brazil. My students take part in contests all the time. I'll try to find out. But thanks olly PulkoMandy Robert_S! |
| 19:19.41 | pitanga | Do you know of anyone at Google that would be willing to discuss that matter? |
| 19:24.52 | olly | pitanga: no, but https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2018 links to a post on gci-mentors which apparently explains (I can't view it as I'm not on that list) |
