We need to work with the other projects to decide who gets the student. I'll be sending out the rest of those emails shortly. For example, our #1 doc student has rated a higher preference for a GNOME project, so rather than try to do a last minute project split I may let him go there and take the #2 student (who is also good enough by far.) So until we +1 _both_ of the kpatch students, we don't know if the second one has a conflict, and that conflict resolution appears to be manual (I think I saw the Google folks pushing conflicts manually, anyway, unsure how the notification works.) - - Karsten >> On 04/22/2015 01:11 PM, Corey Henderson wrote: >>> >>>> On Apr 22, 2015, at 5:40 AM, Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay < >> sankarshan.mukhopadhyay at gmail.com> wrote: >>>> >>>>> On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 5:05 PM, Karanbir Singh >>>>> <kbsingh at centos.org> >> wrote: >>>>> >>>>> Both of the proposals for kpatch are solid.
