Hi everyone!

have a great week everyone :100: :sparkles: :smiley: !

Hi, guys!

Goals for the week:

• [x] 1. Work on two issues
• [x] 2. Create two first-timer-only issues
• [x] 3. Create a draft proposal for my Outreachy application.

Looking forward to everybody being awesome! 👯 🕺

Hi everybody! :)

Goals for the week:

1. Work on my FTO issue and create at least one other PR
2. Create an FTO issue or help break one up
3. Post my proposal and leave a comment on someone else's

Trying to keep up with the amazing new folks who are energizing our community! My goal is to encourage others to do as @madeofhuman and others have done, which is to show each other support!!!

Noting our community has grown to 486+ people - i actually think possibly our welcome page can't even count everyone anymore as it's broken the API limits? @Rishabh570 or was that solved? https://code.publiclab.org/#r=all

Image Sequencer alone has over 60 contributors! https://code.publiclab.org/#r=image-sequencer

Thanks everyone! Great work!

Hello everyone!

My goals for this week are:

1. Getting at least 2 issues and work on them beginning with an FTO (please tell me where can I find them)
2. Creating a draft proposal of my outreachy application.

Looking forward to get them done.

My goals for this week :

• Create some awesome designs 😍
• Write a blog on the new stuff I learned week.
• Create my outreachy proposal.

And most importantly, keep helping other contributors. I'll try to create five fto issues this week, one more than my last week. 🤗

If anyone is interested, I'm huge in for a debate and discussion in the field of design and technology. 😅😅

And if there are people who like writing blogs then I would like to read their blogs. 🤓🤓.

Thanks 📖

Hey everybody!

My goals for this week are:

1. Work on issue assigned to me.
2. Creating a proposal of my outreachy application.
   Looking forward to get them done.

Hi everyone !!

My goals for this week are:

• Work on some issues and bugs
• Make a few FTO issues
• Design new UI mockups for the dashboard page and navbar.
• Start working on my proposal draft
• Continue to help and learn from the community :smiley:

Hello all!

My goals for this week are:

• Resolve 3-4 help-wanted issues on plots2.

• Make few FTO issues.

• Learn more about Ruby on Rails.

• Make a draft proposal for Outreachy.

Hi, all, @SidharthBansal suggested some video chats from time to time -- maybe once per month? -- and i thought of the idea of themed code meetups - like discussing javascript testing, Rails unit testing, skylight/sentry error tracking, resolving codeclimate "smells", things like that, for topics people may find useful. I know that @cesswairimu and @StlMaris123 have done lots of in-person meetups on themes like these and wonder what they (and everyone else) thinks of this idea?

Also, welcome all! @CleverFool77 re: blogs, I've been trying to occasionally maintain one on software outreach (the techniques and strategies and values we promote here at Public Lab), here: https://publiclab.org/software-outreach - hope it's interesting!

Hi everyone

My goals for this week are

• To complete my FTO issue by first identifying and resolving the errors I am having on cloud9, or installing on Windows Operating System which has also been challenging.

• To resolve more FTO isseues

Hello,

My goals for this week are:

• complete my fto,

• be more active in the community,

• Start working on my proposal draft.

Have a great week everybody!

Nice ideas @SidharthBansal @jywarren!! When can we start this?

Hi everyone :wave:

Nice to meet all new contributors :balloon:
@jywarren I love the idea of a themed video chats and I believe it would be great.

This week's goal.

• Make a couple of ftos
• Implement subscribers over time stats and graph
• Finish of weekly data caching

Great week all

:-) well, we are quite busy welcoming all these new people this week.
Perhaps once the pace of outreach drops a little bit, we might start --
say, next week, or in 3 weeks? (2 weeks from now i will be a bit occupied
with another project here in the local office). Any of these topics look
like a good one to start with?

Hi,
my goals for the week are -

1. working on a few FTOs (please help me find them!)
2. Draft my proposal for outreachy

@jywarren we can start from April 10 as we would be done with both Outreachy and GSoC applications by then? We can poll for the topic or maybe start from Rails testing?

I agree with Jeff, topic of discussion can be milestone related stuff.
If it will be mid of each month or beginning, then it will be easy to
remember. Can we do it on 15 April?
Then we can continue to do on 15 of each month.
Also, we can't stick to beginning of each month as open hours are scheduled
at those times.

Finally, I got over with my exam today.
My goals (till Sunday) :

1. Creating atleast 2 First timer issues.
2. Solving atleast 2 issues in plots2.

Also I want to start contributing to Mapknitter, but need some help in setting up. I have tried everything but kindoff stuck now. I have opened a issue (https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/issues/397) @sashadev-sky do you have any idea about this?

Thank you!

Hi all!

This week I have been:

• Working on making updates to the Leaflet.DistortableImage library that will be eventually merged into Mapknitter
• Contributing to community building efforts by updating guidelines for first-timers-only issues with @gauravano as per this week's theme 🎉

Thanks!

Hello everyone!
My goals for the coming week are:
1) work on a few FTOs
2) submit my application for outreachy.
Hope this week is a productive one for me and you guys too! Cheers!

Three optional suggestions for all SoC applicants:
If you were a GCI mentor please mention it in your proposal. We will give extra credit to these long term collaborators.
Second, it will be great to have a conference or seminar at your university about Public Lab and the programs which are held here. It is optional. No compulsion at all.
Thirdly, help each other in writing their proposals by giving suggestions under the proposals

Hi @gauravano can we have next checkin at MK or SWB or IS?
Let's do things in rotations. Different checkins in different repos. To will help us to bind the teams across different projects.

My exams got over yesterday so I am back to help you all. Please tag me in case anyone needs some help.
Thanks

@SidharthBansal yes, we can try check-in in another project this time. Let's do it in Image-Sequencer? Anyone interested in opening the next check-in?

@gauravano I will do it if anyone is not interested.

@publiclab/is-reviewers anyone interested in doing a check-in in image-sequencer?? @subhahu123 is a new contributor, would you like to do this?

Hey @Harshithpabbati, you need to open check-in in Image-sequencer. Thanks!

Yeah I will do it in few minutes.

This idea to rotate through the various repos is a wonderful idea!

What would be a good process to follow for repos that aren't scaffolded yet, like https://github.com/publiclab/SmART-Form , in order to include them in the rotation? A particular sticking point is that Smart Form no longer has a leading code contributor present in the Public Lab community because the grant expired and the academic team is not working on it any longer. I think there might be some interest in pulling out the colorimetry calculations from the Android and IOS apps, and containing it in a simpler (more universal) web app.

Ok now where do i open the check in???

Great Idea Liz. We will include it to in the rotations.

A new check in is posted please go through that
https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/883
This time it is in image-sequencer and next time lets change the repo.
Thanks

Thank you @Harshithpabbati ! I've also left a note at the top of here so we can still pin this issue to the plots2 issues list and people can still find their way to your new check-in. 👍 🎉
