5:36 PM Introduction to Wikimedia tech space Code of conduct (Good to know especially for new devs in the community)
5:37 PM This is very relevant for the new contributors.
5:38 PM → katy29 joined (~rolandeko@154.68.4.171)
5:38 PM
<r054l13> There is a code of conduct for mediawiki contributors. You can find it in the software source code if you cloned it or online here
5:38 PM https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct
5:39 PM
<africanhope> r054l13 or xSavitar, could we have a simple explanation of what a Code of Conduct (Coc) is about, why it's important? Some may not have encountered any before
5:39 PM
<r054l13> Ah yeah sure. thank you africanhope . You are right
5:39 PM Welcome katy29
5:39 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi I think the link says it all
5:40 PM The points on that link are clear enough IMHO
5:41 PM
<r054l13> So just to make it clear, A code of conduct just specifies the rules that governs our behaviour in a community and around a project
5:41 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct#Unacceptable_behavior
5:42 PM
<r054l13> for example Personal attacks, violence, threats of violence, or deliberate intimidation are unacceptable behaviours in the dev community in wikimedia
5:42 PM and of course to know more just follow the link xSavitar shared
5:42 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi The link is just a section of the link you shared above. Nothing special about it.
5:43 PM
<africanhope> thank you both r054l13 and xSavitar
5:43 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi So the link above has everything including the section I shared.
5:43 PM
<r054l13> xSavitar: yeah
5:43 PM Any question? comment?
5:43 PM otherwise I move on with next point
5:44 PM going to next point ===>>>
5:45 PM forth point => Next Country to host AWMD event in Africa, who is it?
5:45 PM Who/what is it?
5:46 PM
<africanhope> r054l13: that's not me
5:46 PM
<r054l13> africanhope: haha
5:46 PM
<africanhope> xSavitar: did you add that point?
5:47 PM
<r054l13> we have a few contries on the list
5:47 PM
<africanhope> :)
5:47 PM
<r054l13> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Africa_Wikimedia_Developers_Project/Request_by_Country
5:47 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi africanhope: You can check the phab history!
5:48 PM
<r054l13> xSavitar: africanhope am a little lost here :/
5:49 PM could you share the phab link africanhope/xSavitar
5:49 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi Which link?
5:49 PM
<africanhope> xSavitar: what do you mean by checking phabricator history?
5:49 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi 17:46 (africanhope) xSavitar: did you add that point?
5:49 PM
<africanhope> r054l13: I guess I'm as lost as you here
5:49 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi I said check the phab history of the agenda to know who added it
5:49 PM I don't think I did
5:49 PM
<africanhope> xSavitar: ah I get it
5:50 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi That agenda was drafted by Rosalie, not me
5:50 PM
<r054l13> alright
5:50 PM
<africanhope> ah I see
5:50 PM
<r054l13> africanhope: Yes I added the point :)
5:50 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi brendajerop: Do you feel okay about hosting an AWMD even in Kenya?
5:50 PM
<africanhope> The plan was Nigeria and then Cameroon
5:50 PM
<r054l13> but it was open to changes
5:51 PM
<katy29> katy r0541l13:thank you
5:51 PM
<africanhope> Nigeria is done, then logically that's Cameroon. At least that's my understanding.
5:51 PM
<r054l13> xSavitar: The next Country is Cameroon I guess
5:51 PM africanhope: yeah
5:51 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi The country is not in good state
5:52 PM I'll not want to risk anybody's life to host an event
5:52 PM
<r054l13> ok ok
5:52 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi Cameroon is currently on hold until further notice
5:53 PM
<brendajerop> xSavitar: I'd love to..although I've never hosted an event before.
5:53 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi brendajerop: You can always learn.
5:53 PM
<brendajerop> xSavitar: Yes, I'm willing to learn
5:53 PM
<r054l13> brendajerop: you will be followed up don't worry
5:53 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi You'll have all the help you need brendajerop
5:54 PM
<brendajerop> xSavitar: r054l13: Sounds good :)
5:54 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi Make a request
5:55 PM Rosalie put a link "Request by Country" above
5:55 PM
<r054l13> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Africa_Wikimedia_Developers_Project/Request_by_Country
5:55 PM now below :)
5:57 PM any other person interested in hosting AWMD in his country, to encourage more volunteers from his country, should follow the link and leave a Request
5:57 PM
<brendajerop> xSavitar: To make a request, I need to add the country to the page?
5:58 PM
<africanhope> brendajerop: you'll need to create a new section
5:59 PM brendajerop: basically, if you edit the page, take a look at the previous sections in wikicode and create a new one by adapting the details
5:59 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi + a reason why the event should happen
6:00 PM
<brendajerop> xSavitar: africanhope: Will do that. Thanks
6:00 PM
<africanhope> brendajerop: coolio
6:01 PM
<r054l13> We will then evaluate the possibility of the event happening in you country and Host it.
6:01 PM your*
6:01 PM So next point ===>>>
6:01 PM
<africanhope> r054l13: yep
6:02 PM
<r054l13> Monthly statistics management and/or automation.
6:03 PM every month we use this tool https://tools.wmflabs.org/awmd-stats/raw/ to have statistics concerning contributions from Africa
6:04 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi https://tools.wmflabs.org/awmd-stats/ instead!
6:04 PM The /raw/ is a route for regeneration of the data
6:04 PM
<africanhope> (yeah cause I was like: that the right endpoint?)
6:04 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi in the db.json file.
6:04 PM
<r054l13> oh yeah sure
6:05 PM So it provides info on who made the greates number of patches and who made how many patches
6:06 PM it also provide info on what patch has been merged, abandoned or in review.
6:06 PM We can thank africanhope and xSavitar for that wow job, probably a few of you aswell.
6:07 PM So we need a volnteer that will every month update the ticket
6:07 PM where statistics are published
6:08 PM If I can recall xSavitar wanted someone else to do that
6:08 PM so anyone?
6:08 PM
<jenniline> Jenniline How is that done
6:09 PM
<r054l13> jenniline: if you are interested xSavitar can better explain to you and give you all resouces to do that
6:09 PM
<PaulWiki> Paul BOUAFFOU Thank and africanhope and xSavitar for this application awmd-stats
6:09 PM
<r054l13> it just a once per month job, so pretty simple and fun!
6:09 PM
<jenniline> Jenniline Alright I am interested then
6:09 PM
<africanhope> r054l13: +1 for the fun part
6:09 PM
<r054l13> africanhope: :)
6:10 PM
<africanhope> jenniline: overall it's some copy pasting stuff
6:10 PM
<r054l13> xSavitar: you have a candidate!!!
6:10 PM yeah!
6:10 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi jenniline: 1) it's not a job!
6:10 PM You'll not be paid for it
6:11 PM 2. You'll need to use the tool (for displaying stats) to build the page.
6:11 PM 3. For now, the tool attempts to do some calculation and ranking here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/awmd-stats/month-rank/2019-04
6:12 PM
<jenniline> Jenniline ok. I see
6:12 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi Though the calculation is not accurate for now as it doesn't use the ranking algorithm. It just uses the highest number of patches submitted
6:12 PM 4. Just use what the cool gives you here: https://tools.wmflabs.org/awmd-stats/month-rank/2019-04/wiki
6:12 PM *tool
6:13 PM And copy the first 3 directly to the phabricator task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213581
6:14 PM jenniline: It's okay if you forget a few times, when its end of month, poke me on IRC here and we'll do it together
6:14 PM After doing it a few times, you'll know how to do it on your own.
6:14 PM jenniline: Sounds like a plan?
6:14 PM
<jenniline> Jenniline Yes cool
6:14 PM
<•xSavitar> Derick Alangi o/
