| 25 | 2018-05-11 16:23:21 <r054l13> So the first point on the agenda is ; |
| 26 | 2018-05-11 16:23:25 <r054l13> GSoC and Outreachy results from AWMD |
| 27 | 2018-05-11 16:24:15 <Eugene233> Great! |
| 28 | 2018-05-11 16:25:10 <r054l13> So far this is first time AWMD goes in for outreach pograms |
| 29 | 2018-05-11 16:25:39 <r054l13> So alot of students where new to the program and some had external difficulties |
| 30 | 2018-05-11 16:26:21 <r054l13> In previous meetings we spoke of some methods of making a change for next year |
| 31 | 2018-05-11 16:26:41 <r054l13> But before that, this year was not void for us :) |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | 2018-05-11 16:28:38 <africanhope> Good to hear |
| 34 | 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 |

| 55 | 2018-05-11 16:37:44 <r054l13> Any comment concerning that point so we move to next point |
| 56 | 2018-05-11 16:38:26 <africanhope> Nothing to add here |
| 57 | 2018-05-11 16:38:35 <r054l13> Ok great |
| 58 | 2018-05-11 16:38:55 <r054l13> next point Opportunity for developers (one month duration) |
| 59 | 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 |
| 60 | 2018-05-11 16:40:23 <r054l13> It will be cool if those interested can apply for the job |
| 61 | 2018-05-11 16:40:51 <Eugene233> r054l13: yes |
| 62 | 2018-05-11 16:41:34 <r054l13> I think they need a UI/UX designer. I am glad she contacted us. |
| 63 | 2018-05-11 16:42:24 <r054l13> If nothing more we can move to the next point |
| 64 | 2018-05-11 16:42:42 <r054l13> Kacie's mail has all info concerning that |
| 65 | 2018-05-11 16:45:35 <Eugene233> we can move on I'm sure... |
| 66 | 2018-05-11 16:45:58 <r054l13> 3)Review on past contributions |
| 67 | 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 |
| 68 | 2018-05-11 16:47:47 <r054l13> I know d3r1ck and africanhope are working on the AWMD statistics tool |
| 69 | 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 |
| 70 | 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 :) |
| 71 | 2018-05-11 16:49:37 <africanhope> I guess so :) |
| 72 | 2018-05-11 16:49:56 <africanhope> r054l13: Was the missing date announced earlier? |
| 73 | 2018-05-11 16:49:59 <Eugene233> Or may be the others forgot there was a meeting |
| 74 | 2018-05-11 16:50:17 <africanhope> It's only yesterday I remembered thanks to the e-mail you have sent |
| 75 | 2018-05-11 16:50:51 <r054l13> well maybe we should anounce our meetings earlier and more often? |
| 76 | 2018-05-11 16:51:39 <africanhope> It could help engage more people |
| 77 | 2018-05-11 16:52:01 <r054l13> Also d3r1ck lost his grandma and I understand he is not present today. |
| 78 | 2018-05-11 16:52:06 <r054l13> ;9 |
| 79 | 2018-05-11 16:52:13 <africanhope> That's sad |
| 80 | 2018-05-11 16:52:13 <r054l13> ;( |
| 81 | 2018-05-11 16:52:16 <r054l13> yea |
| 82 | 2018-05-11 16:52:26 <africanhope> I'll make sure to contact him |
| 83 | 2018-05-11 16:52:40 <r054l13> africanhope: what do you think of reminding 3 days before the meeting |
| 84 | 2018-05-11 16:52:52 <r054l13> africanhope: that will be cool. |
| 85 | 2018-05-11 16:53:50 <r054l13> africanhope: So can we start reminding of our meetings on wednesdays for the meeting on Friday |
| 86 | 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 |
| 87 | 2018-05-11 16:54:14 <r054l13> AH! that's a good idea |
| 88 | 2018-05-11 16:54:22 <r054l13> Ok! |
| 89 | 2018-05-11 16:54:28 <Eugene233> r054l13: I second the idea |
| 90 | 2018-05-11 16:54:36 <r054l13> nice |
| 91 | 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 |
| 92 | 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. |
| 93 | 2018-05-11 16:57:13 <r054l13> Nice precision |
| 94 | 2018-05-11 16:57:26 <r054l13> Then we can go to next point if no more comment on this |
| 95 | 2018-05-11 16:58:10 <africanhope> nice |
| 96 | 2018-05-11 16:58:26 <r054l13> 4) Difficulties faced during contributions |
| 97 | 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 |

| 103 | 2018-05-11 17:02:35 <r054l13> Ok cool, we then move to next point |
| 104 | 2018-05-11 17:02:57 <r054l13> 5) Suggested solutions |
| 105 | 2018-05-11 17:03:34 <r054l13> Any suggestions to increase on our contributions and volunteer enthosiasm? |
| 106 | 2018-05-11 17:03:52 <Eugene233> I think we will better talk on the solutions when we are aware of the problems. |
| 107 | 2018-05-11 17:05:14 <r054l13> ok |
| 108 | 2018-05-11 17:05:26 <r054l13> next point |

| 118 | 2018-05-11 17:12:41 <r054l13> africanhope: Ok thanks |

| 124 | 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 |

| 128 | 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 |
| 129 | 2018-05-11 17:16:20 <r054l13> Ok yea of course |
| 130 | 2018-05-11 17:16:33 <r054l13> we need it in the logs :D |
