GSoC Feedback Session in IRC for the rejected organizations

Google schedules an irc feedback session with the organizations that couldn't make to the summer each year, addressing what went wrong with the each organizations. It was an interesting session today.

First we all adjust our irc nick to have the format {org}|{nick}

/nick ogsadai|Pradeeba

Then we queue ourselves with the gsoc bot by sending a message in the following format.

/msg gsocbot queue
/msg gsocbot queue ogsadai http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ogsa-dai/wiki/GoogleSummerOfCode

To see the next 10 positions,
/msg gsocbot showqueue

This year OGSA-DAI applied as a mentoring organization. Carol mentioned that the organization's application as well as the idea's page look perfect, while suggesting we could have proposed more ideas. OGSA-DAI will come up with more ideas next year. In the mean time, feel free to volunteer for OGSA-DAI, if you are interested. OGSA-DAI community always welcomes the enthusiastic volunteers.
