Hi everybody! 👏

We have a Community Check-In each week, where every community member can share something about their work from the past week and about their current week's goal 🎯 . You are also welcome to share fun-fact 😄 , new ideas 💡 , your learning goals ☑️.

We believe in collaborative efforts to support our community. We are running a learning platform which helps a newcomer to become master of tomorrow. 💯

Thanks @Tlazypanda for opening :tada: this also tagging @ioampatzidis

Welcome new contributors and hello more experienced contributors 😃 We are a little low on our stock of first-timers-only issues, and as @Tlazypanda requested above, if you are a little more experienced, a high leverage point contribution would be for you to take a look through some FTO-candidate issues https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/labels/fto-candidate and see if you might be able to advance any into being a real first-timers-only :boom: 🏆https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/labels/first-timers-only :yay:

Hey everyone! :wave: This week I worked on some accessibility issues and one performance related major issue (critical css and rest asynchronous loading) that needs to be tested out thoroughly :sweat_smile:

I also wrote the second blog for Outreachy here - https://tlazypanda.github.io/opensource/2020/06/08/outreachy'20-blog2-everybody-struggles/ Please give it a read :v: Its more on our mental well being rather than a technical one :stuck_out_tongue:

@adityakpranav @esiebomaj @Yonttee @swarajpure @vinuch @ishika1727 @ioampatzidis Have opened some ftos here :tada: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8004 https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8005 https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8006 https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/8007

Awesome! Happy to see this ✨ Welcome new contributors!

Hello Guys,

This past week I have:

  • Increased Spectral Workbench Test Coverage
  • Split production and development Dockerfile at Mapknitter project.
  • Received review and updated Ruby upgrade PR at Spectral Workbench

For this upcoming week I plan on:

  • Finish multijobs builds at Mapknitter-Export-Sinatra
  • Refactor codebase at Mapknitter-Export-Sinatra
  • Include rubocop at Mapknitter-Export-Sinatra
  • Use ruby official image at Mapknitter-Export-Sinatra Dockerfile

Currently I need review/merge of the following PRs:

PS: I have been feeling super fine, I'm glad for the well wishes messages, I'm very happy to realize that everyone cares. Much love from Brazil and take care :heart:

Hey everyone, last week I worked in implementing a linting tool for PublicLab.Editor (https://github.com/publiclab/PublicLab.Editor/pull/519) .This week I will try to improve code module and Bold module wrapping function based on further reviews

Hey everyone, hope all are safe.
Last week I have made some changes in image module CSS. Implemented the popup issue and solved it. (https://github.com/jywarren/woofmark/pull/3).
This week I will try to finish the Title B module issues and adding the features of seeing and removing the tagged post.
Currently, I am confused about how the suggestion in the title module works.
Thanks, everyone.

Hi all! So this week i want to start working on the UI for users to document bugs they come across in PublicLab.Editor, I already have the mock-up, what is left is to implement. I've also been trying to help with debugging Woofmark's difficulty with un-selecting tools or modules once they've been selected, I'll try to find some more time to look into it this week too.

Also I made my second blog post, here is the link https://shulammiteaso.wordpress.com/2020/06/09/everybody-struggles/

Thank you!!!

Hi all! I'm back after some days offline and it's really wonderful to see everyone here, checking in with each other, helping one another out. Huge thanks to @Tlazypanda for opening this as well as for creating some FTOs for people!

GSoC/Outreachy folks, if you are stuck on something, please reach out to each other for reviews and input, and I've also connected up all our Editor Team mentors: @Divy123 @sidntrivedi012 @subhahu123 @starkblaze01 @debck @ananyaarun @govindgoel @pydevsg @blurry-x-face and of course @emilyashley and myself.

Thank you @Shulammite-Aso and @Tlazypanda for the blog posts, I really appreciate them and look forward to reading them!

Catching up on updates across the board -- ping me in the chatroom if you need something urgently! Thanks again!

Hi, thanks everyone for sharing and a big welcome to the new folks... is any of the interns willing to open next week check-in? Happy Friday all
