 Oh, I got it. Mark. Okay, is it recording now? It looks like, yeah, recording. Good. Yay. All right. Welcome to Jenkins Advocacy and Outreach SIG. Today is Thursday, June 16th. Can't believe that. So on the agenda, I have GSOC update. The CDCon update, the Contributor Summit that we had last week at in Austin, Scale19x and DevOps World. Anything else I should add to this agenda? Nope. Okay. All right. So first item is yours, John Mark. Yes, okay. GSOC. GSOC reached an important milestone. So we had the project selected and we ended the bonding period. This is a period where we set up all the projects, communication channels and planning and so on. The bonding period was successful. All the objectives that we had let out for the various projects were achieved. They started the official coding period last Monday and the projects are running their full in it. So we had the office hour, a couple of hours before and it really looks very good. The next milestone is in July, where we have a formal evaluation by mentors of what has been done achieved. It is an intermediate report that Google likes to have. And we'll also do an informal evaluation, not evaluation, but progress status, where we're going to have an online meetup format presentation where every project will present the project, what they've achieved, maybe a little demo and so on. It's impressive, but it's part of the experience learning to do presentation to large crowd. Okay, there was some serious signals there, so I hope everything is still running. Okay, do you still hear me? Are you? Okay, good. So I'm also going to have an informal one-to-one meeting with contributors and mentors just to see if everything's running smoothly. So here, we can be happy that the project is moving forward and looking good. So, all lights green on GSOC. Awesome. So Jean-Marc, just FYI, I also saved a couple of slots at DevOps World in case our GSOC contributors can attend, or possibly do a virtual presentation of their projects, but I'll keep you posted on that, but I did have them saved slots, speaking slots for them. That's good that you confirm. It was an idea that we were playing with or toying with. So here, I'm also going to share that with the mentors that it's also one of the deliverables and I call it bragging, positive bragging. You must be proud of what you achieved and you need to learn also to explain. So I think it will be very exciting experience. Yeah, and each session is going to be like a 15 minute session, so it's lightning talk, so not too long. Perfect. Excellent. Great. Thank you. Thank you for organizing that. Yep, you bet. And then, CD con Jenkins contributors summit recap, Mark, I pretty much added update here, but if you can just kind of talk us through it a little bit, that'd be great. So we were really pleased with, with the multiple contributors from all over the world. Victor Martinez, even Fernandez, and Manuel de la Pena came from elastic and shared open telemetry, highlighting how they use the open telemetry in connection connected to their Jenkins instance to improve their experience diagnosing and understanding what Jenkins is doing for them and how they can apply it more broadly. Really liked what they did and how they did it. So, thank you so much, Tom, took us through user experience improvements that are coming. And, again, thanks to young Farachik for his work on user experience improvements. We're looking forward to the upcoming release next week of the LTS with many of those improvements in it. Really excited. Had brought us a proposal for how to better manage the core contributors to Jenkins CI and Jenkins core. His suggestion was we apply a similar technique that we've used on Jenkins infra, creating a group that's an alumni group which has very limited permissions, and we move people who are inactive core contributors into this alumni group that means they're not dropped from the organization, but we reduce their permissions, thus reducing security risk. And yes, I have the action item to blog a recap of the contributor summit. That's it for me Alyssa. Thank you, Mark. Quick question. Would it be worthwhile for us to do a Jenkins online meetup for the, the open telemetry plugin with Victor. That's it. That's a good question we've, we did an open telemetry presentation in an online meetup about four or five months ago and it's probably evolved enough that a month or two from now, it would be a good thing to show. I'm not sure they're ready yet because a couple of the key things that they showed us in the, in the contributor summit were not yet released to the, to the plugin itself so they were working off of a development copy of the plugin. So, but yes I could see a month from now or two months from now would be a great chance to have them do an open telemetry presentation. The next item I have is scale 19x so scale stands for Southern California Linux Expo, that is taking place end of July, July 28 to the 31st in LA. Mark and I will be attending that event. We do have a booth that they they're giving us that she is for free. Our booth number I think I did I don't. Yeah, it's 604 604. 604. Thank you, John mark. So it's 604 mark and I will be there staffing the booth. We also have a speaking slot on Sunday, and it's on expanding open source in Africa with Jenkins experience report. So I'm asked, I'm asked about the, the expectant attendance, given that where you were, we're coming out of cove it kind of sort of. So it'll be interesting to see what kind of attendance, it's going to be like this year. It's, it'll be different. The world speaking as acceptance notifications have been sent out speakers are urged to work on their task list Bruno I know you had an issue with it yesterday did also. I'll solve. Okay, so it was working off of the your speaker portal. This morning, not yesterday, but this morning always. Okay, great. So, co speakers, I do I think the team is still trying to figure out if that communication has been sent to co speakers, like I'm a co speaker I did not receive anything just FYI, but main speakers did accept that did receive the acceptance notifications. Contributor summit, we will have a Jenkins contributor summit that will be all day September 27 that's on a Tuesday. And then we should expect to have a contributor appreciation dinner at the end of that day. So with regards to planning for the event so Jean mark Bruno and myself and Mark will be involved in the planning for the booth. And if anybody else is interested in it just feel free to reach out to us on the advocacy and outreach mailing list. And that's all I have on the agenda. So anything else that you like to add. A kid. All right. I thought we had somebody that was planning to attend today. I'm a little. Yeah, it's the from the foundation. Right, we should actually we should talk to that topic because let's let's spend a few minutes on the topic even if Fati is not here. At CD con, Fati did German she was announced as the new director of their organization so he's taking the role that Tracy Miranda previously had. And and that announcement he also noted that they would like to be more actively involved in helping to promote Jenkins and letting us leverage their facilities their marketing capacity etc. Their advocacy capacity to help do a better job together. So I wonder if maybe we ought to give ourselves an action item. Maybe it's best for me since I think I had the conversation to reach out to Fati and see if you would like to join the call in the future. I think I'm going to send him the invitation for this meeting, since he wasn't able to attend. I think what I'm going to do is send him other invitations, and do it with an email that says hey, who in your team would you like to be involved with us because they've probably got either Michelle Mark no, or, or others that are Roxanne Junkers, who are interested in and could be more involved if we just find a way to coordinate. Yeah, thank you for the reminder. I think we need to to reestablish the network with all the people changes and you know on our side also on the CDF side, we need to rebuild the network in contribute to a same cooperation. Right and plus they have so many new players so I think you'll be a good idea. I know that we want to have them play a big part at DevOps world. So I need to reach out to them as well so if I get to them first, Mark, I'll I'll relay the message and invite them to this meeting, but you actually if you've already got a reason to connect. I'll copy you on my message to Fatih, so that that gives me an excuse to say look here's Alyssa Alyssa's the events officer, and she's also leading DevOps world activities to be sure we do a good job on the Jenkins track. And, and that lets them know the right people to connect. Yeah, and I also met him at CD con so that's okay. Okay. Very good. Yeah. Okay, yeah, that sounds like a good plan. I'm going to stop this.
