2018-09-14 16:19:15 <mukaram> welcome tybanash
2018-09-14 16:19:29 <africanhope> The agenda is here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T192441
2018-09-14 16:23:06 <opentechno> africanhope: me too
2018-09-14 16:23:42 <tybanash> Thanks @mukaram
2018-09-14 16:25:49 <mukaram> What is GCI 2018? I search on google but am lost
2018-09-14 16:26:16 <africanhope> First let's look at here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T203068
2018-09-14 16:26:39 <africanhope> GCI stands for Google Code In
2018-09-14 16:28:38 <africanhope> For now there is a call for volunteer mentors
2018-09-14 16:29:37 <africanhope> To put that simply, GCI is a programme for young coders
2018-09-14 16:30:07 <africanhope> But more advanced developers generally help those young coders, they help them by being mentors
2018-09-14 16:31:03 <d3r1ck> Hello everyone!
2018-09-14 16:31:15 <d3r1ck> Sorry for the late entry! Security is tight in my part of the country
2018-09-14 16:31:21 <africanhope> So for now were are searching for volunteer mentors within the Wikimedia developers community. And, As I mentioned earlier, those who will volunteer as Mentors will help young coders with their tasks during Google Code In
2018-09-14 16:31:23 <d3r1ck> But I can take it from here, thanks africanhope :)
