2018-05-11 16:19:35 <r054l13> the meeting agenda
2018-05-11 16:19:48 <r054l13> Sorry for poping in and out
2018-05-11 16:21:29 <r054l13> https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/AWMD_IRC-Meeting-6
2018-05-11 16:21:35 <Eugene233> r054l13: It's fine. Ride on
2018-05-11 16:22:00 <r054l13> Eugene233: thanks
2018-05-11 16:22:45 <r054l13> I sent the agenda and the link to the minutes in case one will like to help sumerise a few things down
2018-05-11 16:23:21 <r054l13> So the first point on the agenda is ;
2018-05-11 16:23:25 <r054l13> GSoC and Outreachy results from AWMD
2018-05-11 16:24:15 <Eugene233> Great!
2018-05-11 16:25:10 <r054l13> So far this is first time AWMD goes in for outreach pograms
2018-05-11 16:25:39 <r054l13> So alot of students where new to the program and some had external difficulties
2018-05-11 16:26:21 <r054l13> In previous meetings we spoke of some methods of making a change for next year
2018-05-11 16:26:41 <r054l13> But before that, this year was not void for us :)
2018-05-11 16:27:50 <r054l13> We got a student from Africa accepted for the Google Summer of Code program under Wikimedia. Good news :D
2018-05-11 16:28:38 <africanhope> Good to hear
2018-05-11 16:29:11 <r054l13> I think if we have to do better next year we should prepare now. And why not even have AWMD propose a project for the summer of code

2018-05-11 16:37:18 <r054l13> We all did a great job during the application period and we are going to do more for sure.
2018-05-11 16:37:44 <r054l13> Any comment concerning that point so we move to next point
2018-05-11 16:38:26 <africanhope> Nothing to add here
2018-05-11 16:38:35 <r054l13> Ok great
2018-05-11 16:38:55 <r054l13> next point Opportunity for developers (one month duration)
2018-05-11 16:39:44 <r054l13> This point was included in the agenda just as a reminder to the mail Kacie sent on the mailing list
2018-05-11 16:40:23 <r054l13> It will be cool if those interested can apply for the job
2018-05-11 16:40:51 <Eugene233> r054l13: yes
2018-05-11 16:41:34 <r054l13> I think they need a UI/UX designer. I am glad she contacted us.
2018-05-11 16:42:24 <r054l13> If nothing more we can move to the next point
2018-05-11 16:42:42 <r054l13> Kacie's mail has all info concerning that
2018-05-11 16:45:35 <Eugene233> we can move on I'm sure...
2018-05-11 16:45:58 <r054l13> 3)Review on past contributions
2018-05-11 16:47:09 <r054l13> I may be mistaking but I am not sure of much progress for the month of april on our board
2018-05-11 16:47:47 <r054l13> I know d3r1ck and africanhope are working on the AWMD statistics tool
2018-05-11 16:48:34 <r054l13> But I have no information concerning any AWMD member making a contribution in April, If one has he can mention please
2018-05-11 16:49:21 <r054l13> Also, we are just 3 active members in this meeting. Like a lot of people are busy this period :)
2018-05-11 16:49:37 <africanhope> I guess so :)
2018-05-11 16:49:56 <africanhope> r054l13: Was the missing date announced earlier?
2018-05-11 16:49:59 <Eugene233> Or may be the others forgot there was a meeting
2018-05-11 16:50:17 <africanhope> It's only yesterday I remembered thanks to the e-mail you have sent
2018-05-11 16:50:51 <r054l13> well maybe we should anounce our meetings earlier and more often?
2018-05-11 16:51:39 <africanhope> It could help engage more people
2018-05-11 16:52:01 <r054l13> Also d3r1ck lost his grandma and I understand he is not present today.
2018-05-11 16:52:06 <r054l13> ;9
2018-05-11 16:52:13 <africanhope> That's sad
2018-05-11 16:52:13 <r054l13> ;(
2018-05-11 16:52:16 <r054l13> yea
2018-05-11 16:52:26 <africanhope> I'll make sure to contact him
2018-05-11 16:52:40 <r054l13> africanhope: what do you think of reminding 3 days before the meeting
2018-05-11 16:52:52 <r054l13> africanhope: that will be cool.
2018-05-11 16:53:50 <r054l13> africanhope: So can we start reminding of our meetings on wednesdays for the meeting on Friday
2018-05-11 16:53:52 <africanhope> If the day is known in advance 1 week earlier and then 3 days. 1 week earlier gives time to country coordinators to remind their guys accordingly
2018-05-11 16:54:14 <r054l13> AH! that's a good idea
2018-05-11 16:54:22 <r054l13> Ok!
2018-05-11 16:54:28 <Eugene233> r054l13: I second the idea
2018-05-11 16:54:36 <r054l13> nice
2018-05-11 16:55:25 <r054l13> I will be sending reminder emails one week before, 3 days before. the day before and finaly the actual day
2018-05-11 16:56:41 <africanhope> r054l13: Thanks very much. However its local coordinators job to keep in mind the monthly meeting dates and remind their guys.
2018-05-11 16:57:13 <r054l13> Nice precision
2018-05-11 16:57:26 <r054l13> Then we can go to next point if no more comment on this
2018-05-11 16:58:10 <africanhope> nice
2018-05-11 16:58:26 <r054l13> 4) Difficulties faced during contributions
2018-05-11 16:59:26 <r054l13> Normally this point is for new contributors and many are not present for the meeting today. except you guys have something to point out

2018-05-11 17:03:52 <Eugene233> I think we will better talk on the solutions when we are aware of the problems.
2018-05-11 17:05:14 <r054l13> ok
2018-05-11 17:05:26 <r054l13> next point
2018-05-11 17:05:38 ** r054l13_ joined channel
2018-05-11 17:05:42 <r054l13> How to improve on the AWMD Stat tool
2018-05-11 17:06:51 <r054l13> africanhope: Can we hear from you on that please?
2018-05-11 17:11:00 ** CFisch_NA changed nickname to CFisch_remote
2018-05-11 17:11:46 <r054l13> Hey

2018-05-11 17:13:35 <r054l13> that's wow
2018-05-11 17:13:44 <africanhope> Apparently there haven't been much patch submitted
2018-05-11 17:14:12 <r054l13> Ok
2018-05-11 17:14:40 <africanhope> Or maybe those submitting the patches do not have their usernames added to the tracking configuration: https://github.com/ch3nkula/awmd-stats/blob/master/contributors.json
2018-05-11 17:14:49 <r054l13> Thank you very much for letting us know this
2018-05-11 17:14:57 <r054l13> yea maybe
2018-05-11 17:15:55 <r054l13> Well I guess they are still working on the patches
2018-05-11 17:16:01 <africanhope> Also, I don't know where this fits, but I wanted to report about some of the work performed locally
2018-05-11 17:16:20 <r054l13> Ok yea of course
2018-05-11 17:16:33 <r054l13> we need it in the logs :D
