2018-09-14 16:16:52 <africanhope> tybanash: Do you want to tell few things about yourself, where you are from and what you do?
2018-09-14 16:17:03 <africanhope> Ange_237: You could also do the same
2018-09-14 16:18:27 <tybanash> I am Awah Nadege , Cameroonian. A geology student who is so interested in web development and contributing to open source
2018-09-14 16:18:43 <mukaram> What is the agenda today?
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 :)
2018-09-14 16:31:39 <africanhope> d3r1ck: Right on time
2018-09-14 17:08:29 <d3r1ck> We've got a project you can contribute to in order to warm up a little
2018-09-14 17:08:37 <d3r1ck> maybe africanhope, share with them the stats tool?
2018-09-14 17:08:46 <tybanash> The technical issue I have is that I tried to clone mediawiki core, did not succeed . What can I do from here?which command should I use please? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/4PIh4Vv1/IMG_7358.JPG
2018-09-14 17:08:50 <d3r1ck> And how they can add themselves to the contributors.json file for tracking their changes?
2018-09-14 17:09:13 <africanhope> d3r1ck: lets handle tybanash stuff first and we'll move on if you don't mind
2018-09-14 17:09:29 <africanhope> (otherwise you plan sounds good d3r1ck)
2018-09-14 17:09:43 <d3r1ck> tybanash: This tutorial is a life saver: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial
2018-09-14 17:09:56 <d3r1ck> Did you try it?
2018-09-14 17:10:02 <d3r1ck> africanhope: Okay!
2018-09-14 17:10:25 <tybanash> d3r1ck: that’s what I’ve been using
2018-09-14 17:10:54 <opentechno> tybanash: You must get the authorization like super user to execute this command
2018-09-14 17:11:38 <opentechno> tybanash: Use the link that D3rick given you
2018-09-14 17:12:19 <d3r1ck> tybanash: Seems you don't have write permission to that directory
2018-09-14 17:12:49 <d3r1ck> So you'll need to make sure you've got the permission to write in that directory so your clone command can work
2018-09-14 17:13:17 <d3r1ck> If you're on linux, you can use the "chmod" command to make the directory writable
2018-09-14 17:13:36 <tybanash> Am on windows
2018-09-14 17:14:01 <d3r1ck> tybanash: Hmmm... You can run some Google searches but this is a starting point: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16376035/fatal-could-not-create-work-tree-dir-kivy
