Gitter Email is our preferred the basic method of communication . We used it for GSoC 2015 and found that it worked for students tooduring and after the application process. You can contact students@hpccsystems.com for any questions related to the internship program or the mentors directly via their email addresses displayed in the project specification pages.
For synchronous conversations and video conferencing we use Microsoft Teams.
You can also utilize Gitter as a synchronous method of communication. Anyone can use it and it's nice and easy to use. Our sources are in GitHub and you will need an account there to be able to contribute to them.
Once you have a GitHub account, you can enter a room and contribute to the chat.
- https://gitter.im/hpcc-systems/HPCC-Platform - The main general Gitter chat room for HPCC Systems. We recommend you use this one at first.
- https://gitter.im/orgs/hpcc-systems/rooms - Shows all the public chat rooms Public Gitter chat room showing all channels available for HPCC Systems. You may be asked to use a project specific chat room during the coding period.
We also have two IRC channels:
- #hpcc-dev at irc.freenode.net. This is the development IRC channel used by the HPCC Systems platform development team.
- #hpcc-gsoc at irc.freenode.net. This channel has been setup specifically for students who want to discuss GSoC projects with mentors.
