[16:26:16] <africanhope>	 First let's look at here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T203068
[16:26:39] <africanhope>	 GCI stands for Google Code In
[16:28:38] <africanhope>	 For now there is a call for volunteer mentors
[16:29:37] <africanhope>	 To put that simply, GCI is a programme for young coders
[16:30:07] <africanhope>	 But more advanced developers generally help those young coders, they help them by being mentors
[16:31:03] <d3r1ck>	 Hello everyone!
[16:31:15] <d3r1ck>	 Sorry for the late entry! Security is tight in my part of the country
[16:31:21] <africanhope>	 So for now were are searching for volunteer mentors within the Wikimedia developers community. And, As I mentioned earlier, those who will volunteer as Mentors will help young coders with their tasks during Google Code In
[16:31:23] <d3r1ck>	 But I can take it from here, thanks africanhope :)
[16:31:39] <africanhope>	 d3r1ck: Right on time
[16:31:40] <d3r1ck>	 Rosalie poked me that she won't be around
[16:31:40] <opentechno>	 d3r1ck: Hi, welcome

[16:33:17] <africanhope>	 d3r1ck: I was explaining to the folks what GCI is and our need for volunteer Mentors

[17:08:14] <d3r1ck>	 sure, :)
[17:08:29] <d3r1ck>	 We've got a project you can contribute to in order to warm up a little
[17:08:37] <d3r1ck>	 maybe africanhope, share with them the stats tool?
[17:08:46] <tybanash>	 The technical issue I have is that I tried to clone mediawiki core, did not succeed . What can I do from here?which command should I use please? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/4PIh4Vv1/IMG_7358.JPG
[17:08:50] <d3r1ck>	 And how they can add themselves to the contributors.json file for tracking their changes?
[17:09:13] <africanhope>	 d3r1ck: lets handle tybanash stuff first and we'll move on if you don't mind
[17:09:29] <africanhope>	 (otherwise you plan sounds good d3r1ck)
[17:09:43] <d3r1ck>	 tybanash: This tutorial is a life saver: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial
[17:09:56] <d3r1ck>	 Did you try it?
[17:10:02] <d3r1ck>	 africanhope: Okay!
[17:10:25] <tybanash>	 d3r1ck: that’s what I’ve been using
[17:10:54] <opentechno>	 tybanash: You must get the authorization like super user to execute this command
[17:11:38] <opentechno>	 tybanash: Use the link that D3rick given you
[17:12:19] <d3r1ck>	 tybanash: Seems you don't have write permission to that directory
[17:12:49] <d3r1ck>	 So you'll need to make sure you've got the permission to write in that directory so your clone command can work
[17:13:17] <d3r1ck>	 If you're on linux, you can use the "chmod" command to make the directory writable
[17:13:36] <tybanash>	 Am on windows
[17:14:01] <d3r1ck>	 tybanash: Hmmm... You can run some Google searches but this is a starting point: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16376035/fatal-could-not-create-work-tree-dir-kivy
[17:14:35] <d3r1ck>	 tybanash: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/2623670/access-denied-or-other-errors-when-you-access-or-work-with-files-and-f

[17:14:53] <d3r1ck>	 Those will do the trick, but revert in case of more help :)
[17:16:19] <tybanash>	 d3r1ck: thank you
[17:17:25] <d3r1ck>	 Sure!
[17:18:40] <d3r1ck>	 Any other technical difficulties?
[17:19:55] <africanhope>	 If none I will share some few stuffs to get your hands dirty :)
