 All right, hi everybody. Welcome to the Jenkins Advocacy and Outreach SIG. Today is February 10th. On the agenda, we are going to discuss about the Outreach Program webpage that was suggested by Jean-Marc. We're going to discuss about GSOC, CDCON, She-Code Africa, DevOps World, and Jenkins online meetups. Are there anything else that we should add to the agenda? Add, remove? Those topics look good to me. I do have some additional items on She-Code Africa, so it'll be in that one. Those look good to me. All right, great. So let's get started on the first item. So Jean-Marc, I will let you take away with this webpage. I'm looking for it there. I have it, or no, that's not what I'm looking for. When we look at the SIG, the Outreach SIG, Advocacy and Outreach, there it is. And there is a detailed page with the sub-projects. Don't find it back. You called it here. Listen, can we come back to that later? I will find the page so I can share. I apologize for this. Okay, no problem. All right. So the GSOC program. Application is currently open. So it's closing on February 21st. March 7th is the list of accepted mentoring organization will be published. So I have drafted up the response to the application. So Jean-Marc, do you want to give us an update on where we are with the pull request for that? Well, I think we're pushing towards the end of John-Marc's day. I think I'd be happy to create that pull request for you if he's, because John-Marc's had a full day with blog posts and whatnot. John-Marc, are you okay if I can submit the pull request rather than having you do it for the application draft that Alyssa's created? I think I can, I can still start it. I have still won a good hour to go. Okay, great. All right. So Alyssa, on that, what you've got is you've got the proposed, hey, here's the, here are responses to the application questions. John-Marc will submit the pull request to Jenkins.io so it will be publicly visible, and then sometime next week you'll use those responses to submit to the actual Google Summer of Code application. Is that right? Yeah, that's absolutely spot on. Great. Yeah, so I would like to get that done way before the closing of the application process for organizers. So, so yes. Yeah, now I've got, and before we submit, I've got to update the get cash project. We've now got three mentors volunteered for it. So Kristen and Rashab are both volunteered for it, in addition to me, and we've got some more details. So I'll get that updated submit a pull request to Jenkins.io so that we've got even more project ideas to show that they've reached the fully vetted stage. Excellent. GSOC. So we're, we're a little bit low on mentors. A lot low. Yes. Maybe do a summary list of who we have. I send a reminder on the developer list because this is what I feel is the biggest pool where we can have people. I think we need to keep to keep that under scrutiny or that we monitor that closely and take corrective actions. We need to be sure that we have at least two better three mentors project. So we need to be right. Careful for that. So I send a message on the developer list. Is there something else I can do. I think we could, we could consider another blog post we could consider just a tweet from the Jenkins account pointing to your developer list posting John Mark. There's no reason we can't tweet from the Jenkins account pointing to opportunities for people to help Jenkins. Okay, we could also consider a LinkedIn post that that welcomes people to join us for mentoring if you're interested in a LinkedIn post. Okay. Yeah, I can do the LinkedIn post. Okay, that would be good. And now I'm a little bit lost. So we do a second blog post. We don't, we don't have to do a blog post that that may be more, more heavyweight than needed. Just the fact that you send something to the mailing list is a good thing we can tweet about. If Alyssa does something on LinkedIn again, that's a great way to refresh people. Hey, we're still looking for mentors and for project ideas. Okay, and I suggest the other tweet tweet and suggested on the outreach get your channel. Correct review or something like, okay. Right. And now given how long the URLs to are to to Google to Google messages to group messages you may have to use a shortened URL. Try it without at first be sure that you keep it underneath the Twitter upper limit of 320 characters. The tweet can't be more than 320 or bell truncated. And I think Twitter has its own link. And they may and that that may be that I don't have to worry about it at all. Yeah. Okay, here, I'll, I'll do that, but I'll do Alyssa's request first. Yeah, and if I can help with the tweet just holler Jean-Marc, I'd be happy to do it. Okay, but eventually can you start with with the tweets. Well, you start with a LinkedIn and eventually the tweet, so that I get the submission for request wrapped up for. Yeah, for today. For the tweet we can we can work together. Okay, and it's a beast. No problem. We also reached out to what deck, and because I was going through the blog section on Jenkins that I owe yesterday and I think maybe what deck might be interested in doing some kind of membership or mentorship for the security that he did something similar to what he did with his four students that he had done previously so I'm sure he sent me a message but I haven't gone through it. And I also reached out to our node because I went back as far as 2016 to look at students and and mentors then and reached out to them so keeping fingers crossed where I'll just keep chugging away at reaching out to mentors. I'll update the notes after Mark, I'll do it. I'm much better doing it offline I can't do it online. I have the same problem as you don't mind the rest of us typing, I'm great with you doing any updates later. It just for me I if I can type silently well while you're talking I'll do it is that okay. Oh, that's perfectly fine. Not at all. I just can't type and talk at the same time. It comes out weird. All right. So, can we come back to the the first one before switching to CD con. Can you open the link I didn't realize you had the link there I was finding. So this was the one that I got out of their, their Gitter Gitter discussion. Do I have this. Yeah. Yes, that's the one. So I just wanted quickly to check in the activities that we do is this still up to the. Since outreach he is that something that we still do. We, we did it in 2020 we considered it. It and community bridge we considered them both. We don't have adequate mentors to do anything with them this year so if you're, if your goal was to keep this to things we're working on in 2022. I would drop out read, we could at least move outreach and community bridge to the bottom of the list. We just don't have capacity to run them likewise for Google season of docs. Right. Okay. So, just checking the move them to find a wording for them. Yeah, you might you might create a big heading here at the bottom which says previous outreach efforts. Yeah, this outreach, because Google summer of code should be on this page I would think as well at least a link to Google summer of code in this page because it certainly is one of our outreach efforts. Yeah. We definitely won't I don't plan to do anything with Google season of docs they just open for for proposals, but I just don't feel like we've got the capacity to mentor a season of docs contributor this year. Okay, but this answers my question, and I propose an update on that page. When I walk through pages and I see things that outdated. So, maybe we can just put like a year and participation in these sub programs. Just just a thought so like what so you mentioned the outreach that was back in what year. I think we did that in 2019 or 2020 I forget which but outreach is a program that attempts to reach underserved communities with funded development. So we, I think we funded $2 or $3,000 for a three month project, and it had a nice outcome. It was our first use of outreach as a program. But they're a different group, the community bridge to step to two items below it is a Linux foundation group. And because we're, we're a CDF project, the Linux foundation is a little easier for us to interact with them than a group like outreach here I'll make a first proposal to to to reorganize that and to make it clear what what we're working on what's on the back burner, right, and that it's details but you know the devil is in the details, and then we can discuss it. Okay, sounds great. This point is clear for me. Okay. Moving on to the next topic CD con the CFP ends in February 18. Please submit a talk week. I'm hoping that we can get a lot of Jenkins or at least a couple of Jenkins talks there. About the CDF talked about having the CDF awards again this year so last year, they had the Jenkins awards where it had three categories, most valuable advocate security MVP, most valuable Jenkins contributor and I've listed there who won last year. So this is just a heads up to to seed the thoughts that you know who do we want to nominate for 2022. All right, and then yeah, I assume that they'll use the same nomination process they did before I was a little intimidated by that process but it was really quite powerful. And the way you nominated is you submitted a poll request to a public get repository with your description of why you thought that person was a good candidate. That was a lot of fun writing a public description of why I thought this candidate was exactly the right one and and there were different proposals for for people so if if Alyssa you have a chance to encourage them to use the same process they use last year. I found it a little daunting and yet really really good to write that in public. It let me highlight some some things about you know when I write in public I'm more sensitive I'm more careful I'm more more diligent and therefore my nomination was a lot better than if I just written an offhand email saying oh I think so and so was really great. In this case I gave details I provided links you know, basically I was writing a blog post about my nominee because I was doing it in public. Nice. Nice. So this year they have new people that's organizing the conference. So I will ask them at our next meeting, what is the process for nomination, but I will bring up your. I'll keep your, your, your points in mind. So please, please, please one tell them thank you very much for doing it last year, and how impressed I was at how well it work work, especially after how intimidated I dated I felt about writing a nomination publicly. I was writing something that everybody could read about these people and therefore it had to be factual all sorts of good. So thank you very much to them. Great. And then they will have an onsite contributor summit for Jenkins as well. During the conference that is still in the planned. I need to fill out a form for planning purposes for CDF so I will work on that. And as this is going to be interesting for us because given that this is our first year that jank or at least since I've been around that Jenkins is going to Texas. I know we have meetup groups there. And I'm hoping that we can leverage some of the people that that loves Jenkins and have them attend the summit. Yeah. But it'll be interesting to see the outcome of it. I've agreed and I've got some, I've got some candidates that I'm going to discuss further with. I intend to be physically in Austin. So I'll be there to be part of it. We've got some some great Jenkins contributors actually who live in Austin. So it'll be it's a there's no reason we can't involve them and invite them to come join us. Absolutely. Okay. Okay, we're good moving on to the next topic. So she caught Africa. I'm feeling a little bit behind schedule. I've, I've done this. I've done the initial posting. Oh, here I can, I can do notes. So listen, or I've done the initial posting of project ideas to the community that Jenkins.io site, and I haven't seen a lot of traction yet. I think we can expect from four to six mentors is probably what we're going to see and with four to six mentors that means we likely won't want to take on more than four to six women from this she caught Africa initiative. The project starts in, if I recall correctly, it starts in mid April and runs to through the month of May. And we've got to get I've got to get a paper form submitted to them with our ideas on it. But because of their time zone. We may need to ask for more help from from friends in Europe and in the Eastern US because Africa time zone. It is just not not as conducive to West Coast mentoring of the of North America, or even to Asia mentoring. But I think we've got good project ideas. I think we've got good ways to approach it and we learned many things from last year's experiences that we will apply in this year's mentoring. And that's really all that I had Alyssa. Okay. Unless there are questions, questions or concerns. A little bit far from that initiative. So, I expect that you'll you'll shout. Yeah, but it's knowing. Right. And, and John Mark you're one that because of your being in European times on I may need you to assist with with acting as a mentor that would take you up to one hour a week. But, but will we have to look and see, I would really prefer that it be others even outside of the people who are attending here that could act as mentors. If you want me to sell a project yourself. Thank you very much. Next topic is DevOps world CFP. This is just an FYI really quickly the discussion for the CFP program will start next week. I will learn more about the date, the location of this year's DevOps world so more to come on that. But the CFP starting next week so we'll need to do some noise around. So, sorry, the CFP discussion planning. Okay, so it's, it's not that the CFP is open. Right, right. It'll probably take us, it'll probably take another, I would say, let's just say a month before the CFP will open, I, I don't know yet so that will be discussed during the planning process. Okay, got you a new monitoring that so but in the meantime against I can prepare and push other people to prepare. Right, so Jean Marks since this is going to happen during middle of Pacific time zone in Los Angeles here so I'll take care of it and I will pull you in whenever I need you. No, it's no I'll prepare my homework and I have a few ideas so it's more for that that I'm trying to know when the doors open. Right. Okay, no problem but that means that once it's open will have to tell the community. Yes, that is open. Yeah, yeah, and I'll send out links and all. Okay, so. All right, so last item is the Jenkins online meetup so the next one that we will talk about is Google summer of code more Google summer of code. The date is scheduled for February 23 at 5pm utc. I'm going to roughed up the abstract here. So if you have a moment please take a review, and then when you give me a thumbs up, then I will get it on the meetup page for us. I also have a work in progress slide deck here as well, and this is still very rough means a lot of updating so. Okay, that in mind. So review it and ideally we get the proposal out to do this one before end of this week so that early next week we can post it start promoting it etc. Yeah, give us some time to get some eyes on it. Great. Okay, so I will leave that as homework for us. And that's all I have on the agenda. Jenkins online meetup we have two subjects, if I remember well in the fridge, or that we need maybe to revive so there is the talk by Kosuke. Yep. And the other one was about cradle. Yeah, I think. I had with the with the G so quiet is this one needs to be a particular date. Right. Yep, and I will work with it and student on the great lender prize one and with Kosuke on the launchable. Okay. All right, and I'll get the notes updated here, and I will send it out on our discourse and discourse. I get it. Thanks all very good. Thank you.
