 Good morning. Hi everybody. Thanks for joining today's Jenkins advocacy and outreach sick meeting today is August 10th. On the agenda, I have a quick G sock update. Let's talk about a new project that a couple of us has been working on recognize and retain top 30 contributors project. October fast and DevOps world. Anything else that we need to add. Good. So G sock update so John Mark, I will hand it over to you. I have it here that we will be scheduling and end of September. Final Jenkins online meetup. Anything else. Just a little update. So the various projects are working to meet their goals. Hard work. Going on sometimes difficult to juggle with other other things that everybody needs to do. Today's is a fun part but also exams semesters that start, but we're navigating through that and making good good way and reaching goals. We might have to fine tune exactly the time left to have something unusable. At the end of Google summer code not to leave something half baked that will that nobody will pick up afterwards. So these the mentor teams are very attentive to that. And the final point that we've been discussing there is so the the final note of the symphony. That's not correct English but will be the Java online meetup that we're going to organize so where every project will be able to do what they have done with the results that they have reached and also maybe give some highlights on the path to reach their their experience about Google summer of code. We're currently discussing as you noted. Yeah, doing that in September to accommodate all the constraints of everybody still being discussed and we find. So there's a short update where we standing with Google summer of code. Great. Thanks John Mark. Next item on the agenda is a new project that we've been working on. So it's called recognize and retain the top 30 contributors. What it is is that. So the Jenkins project has been gosh, I would call it blessed with many contributors helping out supporting the project and I mean we we can't get to where we are today without these contributors. And so that just speaks in volume that we need to stop in and make an opportunity to recognize these folks who has been around for a really long time he who has also put in a lot of time and effort of their own time to make the project better. So that's why we're doing this project. It's to recognize these folks to to acknowledge them to thank them to give them a platform to showcase who they really are. I mean, a lot of times, we'd see them be, you know, on the screen as you know providing support providing guidance, providing codes, but we don't really know who they are so the, the effort of this project is to really showcase them as a person. Along with you know why are they doing this you know why why are they what makes them want to stick around with the project and help out help other people what's what's what is inspirational about it so we want to hear their stories and we want to showcase their story. And we want to be able to thank them as well. So when is this going to be when are you going to be seeing things to come out so this has been a work in progress for a couple of us since couple of months ago. But I think we are getting to a point where we are going to start collecting stories from our contributors. We identified these 30 top 30 contributors, we will start collecting their stories, we hopefully by beginning of next week, I will be sending out a form for these contributors to fill out to, you know, to tell their story in this form. And then Kevin will help put that story together. And then our goal is that we would want to have like a webpage on Jenkins.io where we showcase each individual story. We're shooting for one story by weekly. We have 30 stories to get through so we hope to have that by hopefully if I've done my math right, you know by the end of the year will we have showcase all of these contributors. You know just a page for each contributor and then we also have a page that encapsulate all the contributors at the end of the day, right at the end of this journey. We hope that good things will come out of this we hope the stories will be inspirational to other people. And basically we want to know more about our contributors, you know what makes them tick what makes them. Why, why are they here. So I think their stories will be very inspirational for all of us. So that's where we're at. And of that, and then October fast job mark. Yeah, so this year will be a special October fast year it will be the 10th anniversary of the of the events and so we definitely need to be present and we were already planning to be part of October fast as a Jenkins project. The intention is there we did not start yet. And organizing something I will probably lead the efforts and will get will need help or will also get help from several people around to get it organized and animated correctly. I've already heard some some names of people that joined normally will start something next week and stay tuned. Okay. Thanks, Mark. So if anybody who has who wants to participate just feel free to reach out to you right. Thanks. I will will make a plan, not a platform but a channel blog post or so that everybody who wants to help in the organization can can join and reaching out directly always works. Yep. Cool. Um, DevOps world tour. I do not have any new news at the moment. There's still a lot of planning pieces in the works. So as soon as I have more information, I will share it here on this channel. But in the meantime, registration is open. I do not have a discount code from that from from the events team yet. But I will share it with them later today so hopefully I can have that information and share it here once I have it and then we'll definitely also tweet it out. Other than that, that's it for today. Thank you everybody. Thank you. Listen. Thank you. Thanks John Mark. Thanks Kevin. Thanks Chris bye. Bye.
