Internet issues :( [16:13:10] I can see Eugene233 and africanhope :) [16:13:44] I think the meeting can start if we are all present [16:14:14] I think so [16:14:22] great [16:14:23] By the way, Hello everyone [16:14:56] Hi Everyone [16:15:15] africanhope: [16:15:38] Eugene233: yeah man [16:15:48] africanhope: Hello, Hope you are doing just fine [16:16:03] Eugene233: I am doing great [16:19:27] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185805 [16:19:35] the meeting agenda [16:19:48] Sorry for poping in and out [16:21:29] https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/AWMD_IRC-Meeting-6 [16:21:35] r054l13: It's fine. Ride on [16:22:00] Eugene233: thanks [16:22:45] I sent the agenda and the link to the minutes in case one will like to help sumerise a few things down [16:23:21] So the first point on the agenda is ; [16:23:25] GSoC and Outreachy results from AWMD [16:24:15] Great! [16:25:10] So far this is first time AWMD goes in for outreach pograms [16:25:39] So alot of students where new to the program and some had external difficulties [16:26:21] In previous meetings we spoke of some methods of making a change for next year [16:26:41] But before that, this year was not void for us :) [16:27:50] We got a student from Africa accepted for the Google Summer of Code program under Wikimedia. Good news :D [16:28:38] Good to hear [16:29:11] 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 [16:30:32] My internet is a real mess now. [16:31:02] r054l13: Don't worry, we understand [16:31:13] Great to know that we have a student from Africa. Does every one know the person ? :) [16:31:25] africanhope: :) [16:31:58] Eugene233: uhmm should the persone be known? :D [16:31:58] r054l13: Very bright idea we also hope same. that will be depending on the progress of things [16:32:38] Eugene233: happy you share my point. we will look in that in upcoming meetings [16:33:51] Ok guys, am the selected student. [16:34:08] oh really? [16:34:13] r054l13: Congrats 🎉 [16:34:26] r054l13: Congratulations! [16:37:18] We all did a great job during the application period and we are going to do more for sure. [16:37:44] Any comment concerning that point so we move to next point [16:38:26] Nothing to add here [16:38:35] Ok great [16:38:55] next point Opportunity for developers (one month duration) [16:39:44] This point was included in the agenda just as a reminder to the mail Kacie sent on the mailing list [16:40:23] It will be cool if those interested can apply for the job [16:40:51] r054l13: yes [16:41:34] I think they need a UI/UX designer. I am glad she contacted us. [16:42:24] If nothing more we can move to the next point [16:42:42] Kacie's mail has all info concerning that [16:45:35] we can move on I'm sure... [16:45:58] 3)Review on past contributions [16:47:09] I may be mistaking but I am not sure of much progress for the month of april on our board [16:47:47] I know d3r1ck and africanhope are working on the AWMD statistics tool [16:48:34] But I have no information concerning any AWMD member making a contribution in April, If one has he can mention please [16:49:21] Also, we are just 3 active members in this meeting. Like a lot of people are busy this period :) [16:49:37] I guess so :) [16:49:56] r054l13: Was the missing date announced earlier? [16:49:59] Or may be the others forgot there was a meeting [16:50:17] It's only yesterday I remembered thanks to the e-mail you have sent [16:50:51] well maybe we should anounce our meetings earlier and more often? [16:51:39] It could help engage more people [16:52:01] Also d3r1ck lost his grandma and I understand he is not present today. [16:52:06] ;9 [16:52:13] ;( [16:52:13] That's sad [16:52:16] yea [16:52:26] I'll make sure to contact him [16:52:40] africanhope: what do you think of reminding 3 days before the meeting [16:52:52] africanhope: that will be cool. [16:53:50] africanhope: So can we start reminding of our meetings on wednesdays for the meeting on Friday [16:53:52] 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 [16:54:14] AH! that's a good idea [16:54:22] Ok! [16:54:28] r054l13: I second the idea [16:54:36] nice [16:55:25] I will be sending reminder emails one week before, 3 days before. the day before and finaly the actual day [16:56:41] r054l13: Thanks very much. However its local coordinators job to keep in mind the monthly meeting dates and remind their guys. [16:57:13] Nice precision [16:57:26] Then we can go to next point if no more comment on this [16:58:10] nice [16:58:26] 4) Difficulties faced during contributions [16:59:26] Normally this point is for new contributors and many are not present for the meeting today. except you guys have something to point out [17:01:03] Eugene233: ? :) [17:01:38] I have nothing to say for now about it. [17:02:35] Ok cool, we then move to next point [17:02:57] 5) Suggested solutions [17:03:34] Any suggestions to increase on our contributions and volunteer enthosiasm? [17:03:52] I think we will better talk on the solutions when we are aware of the problems. [17:05:14] ok [17:05:26] next point [17:05:42] How to improve on the AWMD Stat tool [17:06:51] africanhope: Can we hear from you on that please? [17:11:46] Hey [17:12:00] Are you guys still there? [17:12:07] r054l13: Sorry [17:12:18] The tool is working properly [17:12:22] the meeting ends at 5:30 UTC :D [17:12:41] africanhope: Ok thanks [17:13:09] as of now we are working on improvement enhancements features available in the Issues of the github repo [17:13:29] Ok great [17:13:35] that's wow [17:13:44] Apparently there haven't been much patch submitted [17:14:12] Ok [17:14:40] 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 [17:14:49] Thank you very much for letting us know this [17:14:57] yea maybe [17:15:55] Well I guess they are still working on the patches [17:16:01] Also, I don't know where this fits, but I wanted to report about some of the work performed locally [17:16:20] Ok yea of course [17:16:33] we need it in the logs :D [17:18:49] ok, I gathered some of the local volunteer to start working on ticket T189368 [17:18:59] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ [17:19:12] Ok [17:19:32] This is still in progress and at an early stage but their work will be available here soon https://github.com/samuelguebo/thenoun-uploader [17:19:51] Wooow cool [17:20:30] Basically this is supposed to be a tool allowing people to upload certain icon to Commons with metadata fetched automatically [17:21:26] Will share more about it during next meeting hopefully [17:23:10] ok Thank you [17:24:34] With that said we can say the meeting was a great success and resourceful.
