	2018-03-30 16:03:08 <r054l13> Ok Thank you guys! looking at the agenda, the first thing is introduction
	2018-03-30 16:03:37 <r054l13> So i am not sure if there is any new member with us today.
	2018-03-30 16:04:02 <r054l13> But if that is the case please own up and give us some intro :)
	2018-03-30 16:04:29 <r054l13> Sveta: Hi!
	2018-03-30 16:05:54 <r054l13> OK! Am I in this meeting just with d3r1ck and africanhope ?
	2018-03-30 16:06:38 <d3r1ck> Maybe, other will join I think :)
	2018-03-30 16:07:01 <r054l13> Ok! so should we give them like 10 more minutes?
	2018-03-30 16:07:28 <d3r1ck> If the agenda permits us, then yes why not?
	2018-03-30 16:08:06 <r054l13> Ok!
	2018-03-30 16:08:15 <africanhope> We could do so, while pinging some people
	2018-03-30 16:08:25 <r054l13> Ok good idea
	2018-03-30 16:09:48 <africanhope> r054l13: Do you usually add the agenda to the etherpad at the very begining of the meeting or do you add agenda's points as where touch each of them?
	2018-03-30 16:10:07 <africanhope> as we touch them*
	2018-03-30 16:10:41 <r054l13> As we touch them I think
	2018-03-30 16:10:54 <africanhope> Well noted, thanks
	2018-03-30 16:11:05 <r054l13> WCM
	2018-03-30 16:11:27 <africanhope> Eugene233: are you around?
	2018-03-30 16:11:32 <wikibugs> Africa-Wikimedia-Developers, Developer-Relations: Africa Wikimedia Developers IRC general meeting #4 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185803#4094566 (D3r1ck01)

	2018-03-30 16:13:15 <r054l13> Hi Eugene233
	2018-03-30 16:13:19 <d3r1ck> onix_: Hey! Welcome!
	2018-03-30 16:13:22 <d3r1ck> Hey Eugene233
	2018-03-30 16:13:22 <onix_> Finaly I find you guys :)
	2018-03-30 16:13:32 <d3r1ck> onix_: We are always here :)
	2018-03-30 16:13:43 <africanhope> noela: would you join us?
	2018-03-30 16:14:07 <africanhope> Eugene233: welcome
	2018-03-30 16:14:10 <noela> africanhope: I am there :)
	2018-03-30 16:14:25 <Eugene233> Thanks @africanhope
	2018-03-30 16:14:56 <onix_> d3r1ck: yeah but didn't find the channel for a while now. As said in the mail i hope to contribute as well but still didn't get the chance
	2018-03-30 16:15:02 <africanhope> noela: its cool to read from you :)
	2018-03-30 16:15:35 <d3r1ck> onix_: Okay! This is the channel and anytime you have something, you can drop here with no hessitation.
	2018-03-30 16:16:27 <r054l13> The channel is now in better state. we can look at the agenda I guess
	2018-03-30 16:17:22 <r054l13> Before onix_ Eugene233 and noela we were on introduction
	2018-03-30 16:17:37 <r054l13> But I think none of them is new or?
	2018-03-30 16:17:58 <d3r1ck> Yes
	2018-03-30 16:18:00 <Eugene233> Certainly @r054l13
	2018-03-30 16:18:00 <r054l13> so we can look at the next point.
	2018-03-30 16:18:01 <d3r1ck> We can move on!
	2018-03-30 16:18:07 <r054l13> Great1
	2018-03-30 16:18:09 <r054l13> !*
	2018-03-30 16:19:02 <r054l13> Next thing on agender is GSoC/outreachy application
	2018-03-30 16:19:13 <r054l13> with aplicants from Africa
	2018-03-30 16:19:22 <r054l13> applicants*
	2018-03-30 16:19:45 <d3r1ck> Okay! Is there anyone in the room that applied for GSoC 2018 or Outreachy Round 16 for Wikimedia?
	2018-03-30 16:20:35 <r054l13> I did. Anyone else?
	2018-03-30 16:21:02 <africanhope> Someone from CI but he had to drop
	2018-03-30 16:21:11 <d3r1ck> Ohhh damn!
	2018-03-30 16:21:19 <d3r1ck> Bamlifa is not in the meeting, I think he also applied
	2018-03-30 16:21:27 <r054l13> ok!
	2018-03-30 16:21:28 <d3r1ck> So that makes 2
	2018-03-30 16:21:28 <africanhope> Language was a barrier, and we'll probably better prepare for next year
	2018-03-30 16:21:36 <d3r1ck> Ohhh no :(
	2018-03-30 16:21:48 <d3r1ck> Well noted africanhope!
	2018-03-30 16:21:48 <r054l13> africanhope: sure!
	2018-03-30 16:22:10 <r054l13> I think it make ~2
	2018-03-30 16:22:44 <r054l13> that's not very good for a start but it is better than none.
	2018-03-30 16:22:46 <africanhope> However r054l13 provided good guidance to this participant, yet as mentioned above, he wasn't comfortable enough in English to continue the process.
	2018-03-30 16:23:24 <d3r1ck> Okay!
	2018-03-30 16:23:42 <r054l13> So given that Bamlifa and the CI guy(Stephane) are not around
	2018-03-30 16:23:55 <Eugene233> Oh that’s sad @africanhope.
	2018-03-30 16:24:00 <d3r1ck> So the question I see in the agenda is: "What to do after you've applied for GSoC?"
	2018-03-30 16:24:27 <r054l13> But the applicants are not there. except me
	2018-03-30 16:24:33 <r054l13> so we may skip that
	2018-03-30 16:24:36 <r054l13> or?
	2018-03-30 16:24:44 <africanhope> yes we can
	2018-03-30 16:25:08 <d3r1ck> Okay! Was thinking the'll read the logs but if we agree to skip, then fine!
	2018-03-30 16:25:12 <d3r1ck> What next? :)
	2018-03-30 16:25:17 <r054l13> Ok thank you. Now Discussion around GSS2WT converter project for AMWD.
	2018-03-30 16:25:49 <r054l13> I will give the floor to africanhope and d3r1ck on this
	2018-03-30 16:26:12 <africanhope> primarily to @d3r1ck
	2018-03-30 16:26:30 <d3r1ck> Ohhh GSS2WT means: Google Spread Sheet to Wiki Table Converter
	2018-03-30 16:26:46 <r054l13> ok!
	2018-03-30 16:26:59 <d3r1ck> Basically, it's a tool / script / project to scrape data from a Google Spread Sheet to a Wiki Table
	2018-03-30 16:27:07 <d3r1ck> The Wikitable will look like the GSS
	2018-03-30 16:27:15 <wikibugs> Africa-Wikimedia-Developers, Developer-Relations: Africa Wikimedia Developers IRC general meeting #4 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185803#4094584 (rosalieper)
	2018-03-30 16:27:22 <d3r1ck> Are my making sense?
	2018-03-30 16:27:34 <r054l13> yes!
	2018-03-30 16:27:46 <r054l13> Sure
	2018-03-30 16:28:13 <d3r1ck> So it's project that is still at a conceptual level even though I've build something already that scrapes a GSS and updates a Wikipage
	2018-03-30 16:28:25 <r054l13> ok but how is AWMD involved
	2018-03-30 16:28:27 <d3r1ck> The edits so far are made as anon
	2018-03-30 16:28:41 <d3r1ck> So AWMD folks will contribute on building this tool
	2018-03-30 16:28:47 <d3r1ck> The repo will reside on Github
	2018-03-30 16:28:49 <Eugene233> Very nice idea
	2018-03-30 16:28:59 <d3r1ck> And anyone is free to contribute
	2018-03-30 16:29:20 <d3r1ck> When repo goes on Github, there will be a detail document / README.md to explain the problem this project is trying to solve
	2018-03-30 16:29:29 <r054l13> That sounds great
	2018-03-30 16:29:46 <d3r1ck> Okay!
