 Hello, this is Ray Pake, the community manager at GitLab, and welcome to the wrap-up session of the Q3 hackathon. Let me put the slide in the presentation mode so people can see it better. Yeah, so it's been exciting two days. I think in some time zones, like especially in Asia Pacific, it's already the 30th, but over the two days, 28th and 29th, it's been good to see community members really get engaged. And we had record number of merger requests submitted for the hackathon, which I'll get to in a minute, which was really exciting. But also a lot of interaction on GitR and issues and others where people were collaborating and helping each other out. That was really, really fun to see. So like we've always done with each of the hackathons, just wanted to have a quick recap of how things have gone over the past two days. And also wanted to talk quickly about some of the recognitions that we typically do for our contributors. And just wanted to give you an idea. I mean, obviously people who have MRs merged will get an award or a prize following the event. But I mean, there are other ways that we try to recognize regular contributors as well and love to get your feedback on that through GitR or other channels. First of all, a quick recap and big thank you to all the presenters and those who participated in a number of tutorial sessions that we had. All the links to recordings and slides are available on the main hackathon page. You see the link there. You see a table of all the contents under sessions. You'll see a little snippet of the video along with the presentations right below it that you can check out at your leisure. And there's also the hackathon playlist on YouTube. So all of the tutorial sessions from this hackathon and past hackathons that you should be able to find and view. But I mean, I think we have a lot of good speakers this time around and definitely want to keep this going for future hackathons. And if you have suggestions for topics and speakers that you want to you want to hear from, please let us know. In terms of MRs, I briefly mentioned this, you'll see the screenshot of the issue number 24, we're keeping track of all the MRs. When I created this slide a little earlier today I said 80 plus but I think we've actually may have hit like 90 right before I got on the call. The previous record was 67 in Q1 and I mean we just, it looks like we just shattered the record. So I definitely want to thank everyone for that. I think during the kickoff session. I think I may have made a comment about I'd like to get to the heights that we were in Q1 but we not only met it but we way surpassed it so congratulations everybody and thank you for a job well done. And out of the 90 or so MRs. Last time I checked there were about 20 or so MRs that were already merged. As of about an hour ago. So I assume that will continue over the next few days. And as in the past I mean the MRs came for, I mean several different projects whether it's CENEE that everybody is already familiar with but other projects like design.gitlab.com I was happy that people contributing to UI after the tutorial session we had. GDK, runner, triage, get to Lee, our website, etc, etc. Definitely appreciate everybody contributing to various projects that we have at Gitlab. So that was great to see. But if I happen to be missing your MRs and it's very possible my inbox is being getting inundated with the new MRs coming in. So in case I missed it, I mean please ping me on Gitter at our peak and or even on the issue itself. Just let me know if I'm missing something from the list and I'll be happy to add it to the list so that you get credit for those. Just a couple of reminders and I guess an announcement in terms of prizes. Anybody with a merge MR will receive that power bank that you see on the bottom left of the slide. And there's a grand prize for people who have the most MRs merged by September 10th. And there'll also be a second prize winner as well. So the deadline again is September 10th at 2300 UTC. If you have any questions or any help like moving things along in terms of reviews or things getting or to get things merged. I mean please ping me or David on on Gitter and then we'll do our best to help sort of move things along. Also excited to announce the dates for the next hackathon. We'll get back together in mid November. So 13 and 14 should be Thursday and Thursday that week like we're doing now. But look for official announcements as we get closer to us November. Look for usual channels on on on Gitter or Reddit or or even on the Twitter feed. So you should see us Twitter either for me or get live going out in terms of announcements. Obviously like I said this has been a great and fun event. It's sort of good to see people sort of come back from summer vacation and and and the volume of the work and collaboration that I've been seeing a amount of collaboration that I've been seeing has been pretty impressive. But if you have any feedback on the event like on the topics for tutorial session for the next hackathon or or any logistical things that you want to see improve for the next event please let me and David now be really happy to hear your feedback on on on how we can do things better next time around. I mean speaking of prizes. I mean obviously if you participated in hackathon either this time around or previously you you've probably seen various awards that we've been we've been sending out to people who have been submitting M.R.s during the event. But there are several other ways that we typically recognize contributors and just wanted to share a few examples with you on all the way on the left. I mean some of you may have received this mug and we started this campaign about a year ago when you have your first M.R. merge. We send this camper mag with a camper mug with a hashtag and number of people have posted fun pictures on Twitter and actually if you let me get out of the presentation mode. If you click on this link basically shows you a search result on on Twitter where people have been celebrating the mug. So I mean that's one example and and then the other initiative that we we started was to sort of recognize some of the regular contributors and we published this website. Earlier this year I think sometime in Q1 if you click on this link it'll take you to the actual page. We wanted to celebrate people that have had at least five or more M.R.s merged during the calendar year and and we put them in like a three different categories. Superstar star and enthusiasts depending on your contribution level. And we've also sent out Gillab theme merchandise for for different contribution levels. You'll see a couple of examples here. I mean what we're thinking of doing going forward is rather than wait until like January February to publish this list. I think throughout the year for example for 2019 I think I'll go ahead and publish the list as of a certain date and so you can people can see sort of where they stand and and even see the progress as a hopefully move up the ranks some during the year. So hopefully in the next several weeks you'll see an updated page with the list of 2019 regular contributors. And hopefully you'll see more evidence of this on on social media like Twitter as well. So that's one of the other things that we started earlier this year. What's been going on for a long time is released MVP or the GitLab Hall of Fame. For each release we nominate one community member as as that month's most valuable person. Have a couple of screenshots. I mean one you'll you'll see this page when you click click on this link as well. So it gives you a running list of all the MVP winners for following each release and this also gets highlighted during our release post. I mean every time we do a release we publish a release post in our blog section. And this is sort of an example of our last month's MVP Fabio for to celebrate a lot of great work that he's done for us. So this is another way so we we recognize a lot of the regular contributors who's been making great contributions to the community. So just wanted to highlight some of these. We're obviously thinking and looking for ways to to recognize our code contributors in a variety of ways. So if you have any feedback or thoughts or suggestions I mean please do let me know. But I mean this is probably one of the more fun part of the job seeing community members get recognized. So just want to share that with everyone as well. I think that's sort of that's the last slide. I mean again I want to thank you for your enthusiasm energy. Hopefully at least in the northern hemisphere hopefully everybody had a good summer and it's good to see or hear from you again after the summer period here in the northern hemisphere. And I definitely look forward to doing this again in November. And thanks again and I'll talk to you again soon. Thank you.
