23:00 | avolpe | hello |
23:00 | walterbender | hello everyone |
23:01 | let me start the log for those who cannot join us | |
23:01 | #start-meeting | |
23:01 | meeting | Meeting started Mon Nov 16 23:01:05 2015 UTC. The chair is walterbender. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. |
23:01 | Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic #endmeeting | |
23:01 | walterbender | #topic GCI |
23:01 | first, thanks everyone for coming at short notice | |
23:01 | and thanks for agreeing to help with GCI | |
23:01 | I guarantee you will enjoy it | |
23:01 | Here is the current status | |
23:02 | We have 19 mentors, which is really great!!! | |
23:02 | and we have decent coverage across timezones, so I think we can have someone around to answer questions 24/7 | |
23:02 | We will use the regular #sugar channel for fielding questions | |
23:03 | the basics are the following (for those of you who have not done this before) | |
23:03 | there is a website that has a list of tasks | |
23:03 | (1) a student will request a task | |
23:04 | (2) we assign the task to the student | |
23:04 | (3) they have a limited time (usually 3 days) to complete the task | |
23:04 | (4) they submit code (or other documentation) for review | |
23:04 | tch__ | hello! |
23:04 | me and patty here | |
23:04 | walterbender | (5) we ask for changes or agree that they have completed the task |
23:05 | hi tch and patty | |
23:05 | the cycle above 1-5 repeats | |
23:05 | I am guessing we will need about 300 tasks by the time we are done | |
23:06 | although ignacio is a mentor this year -- he did almost 100 tasks himself last year :) | |
23:06 | the tasks come in 5 categories | |
23:06 | 1. coding (mostly tickets for Sugar, or related ideas) | |
23:06 | k_yash | 100 tasks is huge ignacio :D |
23:06 | walterbender | 2. outreach |
23:06 | tch__ | wow |
23:06 | walterbender | 3. quality assurance |
23:06 | 4. documentation | |
23:06 | scg | congrats Ignacio! |
23:06 | tch__ | (patty) |
23:07 | congrats | |
23:07 | walterbender | and 5. design |
23:07 | so we can offer lots of different choices | |
23:07 | and cover lots of needs while giving the students lots to do and learn | |
23:07 | one thing that is important | |
23:08 | we need to hold the students to a high standard | |
23:08 | the same standard as developers and designers | |
23:08 | and they need to follow our standard practices regarding pull requests, commit messages, etc. | |
23:10 | tch__ | +1 |
23:11 | k_yash | so if they don't know how to make a PR or commits...we need to teach them that also right? |
23:11 | tch__ | we havent done that much ourselves, so is a good opportunity to get that back~ |
23:11 | (tch) | |
23:11 | k_yash: yes, we help them with these basic tnings, | |
23:11 | walterbender | we can have a task for improving our internal documentation for all of this |
23:11 | tch__ | k_yash: but we don't do the work for them :) |
23:11 | walterbender | although I think we have a decent set of docs in the git repo these days |
23:12 | one more thing I forgot to mention | |
23:12 | there are some beginner tasks that everyone can do | |
23:12 | the idea is to give credit for getting the devel environment set up, etc. | |
23:12 | lots of students will struggle with this (proxy issues) in first few days | |
23:13 | be prepared to offer help | |
23:13 | one of the fun things is to watch how much the students learn in six weeks | |
23:13 | by the end of the contest, we will have some excellent contributions | |
23:13 | and very proficient new community members | |
23:13 | and they will bring new ideas | |
23:14 | tch__ | I am sure we will |
23:14 | scg | Hope to get new sysadmins =) |
23:14 | walterbender | scg, I hope so |
23:14 | google has a new system in place this year | |
23:14 | the main site is where you signed up as a mentor | |
23:15 | there you can add new tasks | |
23:15 | we have 118 so far in the system | |
23:15 | each task has 1 or more mentors assigned | |
23:15 | you'll get email from the progress on those tasks | |
23:15 | but feel free to help with any task | |
23:16 | the system is a bit broken right now. I need to add you as a mentor to existing tasks (as the coordinator) | |
23:16 | so let me know if you want to be added to any tasks | |
23:16 | and please do add tasks | |
23:16 | ask me any questions you may have | |
23:16 | tch__ | (patty here) who else will be mentoring in outreach tasks? |
23:16 | walterbender | we have two experts in ignacio and sam |
23:16 | tch__ | I would like to~ |
23:17 | walterbender | tch__, mariah is helping there too |
23:17 | noemu | i'll be helping with outreach (mariah) |
23:17 | walterbender | you guys should meet |
23:17 | hi noemu | |

23:17 | walterbender | meet patty |
23:17 | those tasks were really a nice addition last year | |
23:18 | we reach kids we would not have otherwise | |
23:18 | I am hoping for more this year!! | |
23:18 | tch__ | noemu: great! ill send you an email so we can exchange ideas |
23:18 | walterbender | there is a list of all the mentor emails available in the gci website too |
