 Hi Esther. Esther, you're muted if you're trying to say anything. And you may not be. The meeting hasn't started yet. No, I'm not. Morning. Good morning. How are you? It's good to see you here. I'm great. Thank you. There we go. Nyunye, did I say that right? Welcome. Yeah. Good morning. Hi. Good morning. Good morning. Wait, I think we have three more coming. I don't think Angelique's going to be with us today. I'm not sure. How's everything going with you two? Are you? Yeah, it's going well so far. So good. Well, that doesn't work very well. Okay. And we have Sharon. It's Sharon, right? Not Sharon. Well, it looks like four of the five are here. So I think it's after Shall We Get Started? All of you are muted, so I can't hear what you're saying. I don't think she's coming. Okay. I'm Meg McRoberts. I am a technical writer. So in general, for this session, I know a little bit of the technical stuff, but if you get into technical problems, I'm probably not going to be your best source. I am definitely here if you need any help with writing or anything like that. And, you know, we all jump in and do what we can. So just forward. So I thought we would start by seeing how everybody's doing, and I've got you listed in alphabetical order. So Cynthia, how is it going? I'm doing well. Yeah, I think that's it. Or let's add something else related to what we're currently working on. Whatever you're good with. No obstacles. Everything's going smoothly. And are you having a little bit of fun? Oh, so I was having some problems trying to install the Genkin because I'm adding the credentials and they're saying that it's not valid. So I was trying to use the troubleshooting guide they shared on the website. Yeah, to see if it can work. But if anyone in the participant, I mean, was able to do that, maybe they can help also. Okay. Yeah. And I think that's it for me and I'm enjoying. Yeah, I was able to install Jenkins correctly. I was having that issue too. So the credentials that they are basically looking for is your laptop user and then your laptop password, like the accounts that you're working on. That's what the credentials are. So that was what I used and it worked. And when I tried it the first time, it worked. But then it said that I didn't have, I can't remember, something about permission or something. So I had to do set some things. I followed the documentation and I had to set some things in a local security group or as a local security editor. I had to add my laptop user to be able to log on as a service. So after I did that, I was able to install it successfully. So you tried that? Okay. Before we're done here, we're going to, I want to make sure that all of you are on the chat group. So we can post there also for help. Okay. So we'll get you, we'll try to make sure you get set up by the end of the day. I arranged you alphabetically. I guess we can rotate each week. So Esther, how is it going with you? It's going fine. I've been reading lots of documentation to get up to speed and what I'm supposed to be doing and how everything is working. And so far, where I think the last place I stopped was I was trying to install Blue Ocean. So it never did finish installing. I'm not sure because it kept saying your browser will reload after Jen, I don't know, after it says Jenkins will restart or something. So it just stayed that way. So I had to kill the service and then my laptop battery died. So I wasn't able to complete it. Oh, Blue Ocean kill your laptop? Yes. I was waiting for one. After you installed it, did you restart Jenkins afterwards? Yes, I did. I restarted Jenkins, but it was still giving me that full thing. So I'll try again today. Okay. And if it doesn't work out again, post to the channel and let somebody, Blue Ocean has a whole bunch of dependent plugins that it gets in. So there's a lot of them, but I've installed that a few times that I haven't had problems, but that may just be luck. So, but hopefully it's something small that somebody can help you out with. So let's see. Lucy's not with us still, right? Oh, anything else? I'm sorry. Anything else from Esther? No, nothing else. Nothing else. I'm good. Okay. Lucy's not with us yet. So on Yenye, how is it going? Yeah, on my own end, it's been going well. So far, I've been able to finish two tasks. That's preparation and pipeline experience. And also I've been able to view the Jenkins plugin and Mark has been able to review what I've done. So currently I'm on modifying existing pipeline help. That's the third task. Yeah. So I've done a modification. So I was about pushing and then raising the PR. So after this call, I'll go ahead to do that. Yeah, that's it. Wow. That's wonderful. Okay. Anything else? Sharon? Pardon, that's it. I'm sorry. I got my screen up and I'm not seeing anybody. This bothers me. We can see it. You can see that. Yeah, I can't see you guys, which means I feel like I'm being very rude here. Oh good. And now I've got that up and I can't get rid of it. Okay, whatever. Sharon, how's it going? Okay, everything is good at the moment. I just got started with the task. So at the moment, I'm trying to have installed Jenkins, but I wanted to install the Blue Ocean then also work on my bio. Great. But so far everything's going okay for you, right? Yeah, everything is okay. Okay, we kind of did. I came up. Oh, I should have asked if any, oh shoot, I'm not recording this. I'm supposed to be recording this. Now where does it tell me to record? I'm obviously not used to running these meetings. Let me see if I stop sharing. If I get to record. Yes. Hello. This is the first Monday meeting of the Shikot Africa project for April of 2021. And I forgot to start recording at the very beginning, but notes are recorded in the agenda. So we will go forward from here. Okay. My apologies, Mark will yell at me, but that's okay. He's a nice person. So he yells nicely. So you're going with that, but then, but things are going well. I think it'll pick up for you from here then, right? Great. Mark, have any of you been on the Gitter channel yet? Yes, I have. Mark was going to encourage that maybe you'd all like to go over there now and just plug, if you're comfortable and say hi, we're here. Those of you who are having issues, you could plug something there. Does that sound like a plan? I didn't, I also didn't ask if anybody had anything else to add to the agenda. My bad. I apologize. Does anybody have anything else for the agenda other than this? No, I'm good. Okay. If you come up with something, do say so. Do you have the URL? Do you want me to paste it into chat? No, I have the URL. Yeah. I don't know. Where is the chat? Ah, there's the chat. So do you want to do that now or do you want to do it after the meeting? Are you more comfortable doing it later? Sorry, I think after the meeting, for me. After the meeting, is that what you want to do? Okay. Whoopsie. Sorry. Excuse me, I'm choking. I'm coughing. Rude of me. Everyone will post after the meeting and tell you people are really looking forward to your stuff. You're attacking a problem that's been an annoyance to people for a long time and nobody wants to go in and mess with it. So I think you all saw Mark's request. They want to do a blog and tell everybody about you guys and the work you're doing. And so a little biography and a photo if you're comfortable, if you're not comfortable putting your photo out there, that's fine. Any issues with that? Nope, I have none. Okay. Has anybody mentioned to you the Jenkins Code of Conduct? No. Okay. It's not a big deal. Don't mean to frighten anybody. I will say, I've been involved with other open source communities. Some of them get kind of nasty. In general, this is like the nicest group of people I've ever worked with. I've come up with some really stupid questions over the years and they're always so nice about it, so gentle and you get my answer. But we wanted to make sure all of our things are governed by that and we want it mostly we want to make sure that none of you have any problems. And if anybody treats you in a way that does not please you, there we go. Please let us know immediately and it will be, I don't anticipate problems, but it all boils down to be polite, be a nice person, be respectful. Sort of everything that you would expect, I think. As I hear, but over the years, I think there's only been one issue and it was many years ago with one person who was misbehaving. We do not anticipate problems, but we wanted to be sure that you guys were aware that you are protected by the Code of Conduct and if anybody says anything that upsets you or whatever, please let us know immediately. That's not what the Jenkins community is about and we want you to have a good experience. Did you see where it is, if you want to see it? If you go to Jenkins, it's Jenkins I.O. Project Con here. I'll copy it into the chat if you want it. Okay. But we mostly, Mark said make sure they don't think that we're telling them to worry about their behavior. We think you're all fine people and you won't be a problem. We mostly want to make sure that you are treated well and that you know that you can expect to be treated well here. And so goodness, we have extra time. Does anybody have anything else they would like to discuss? I wanted to suggest if we meant is if we can actually get a book on Slack or WhatsApp so we could actually communicate and assist. Right. There was talk of a Slack channel, wasn't there? There was and then I don't, yes. And then Mark was talking about just using the Gitter channel. Let me check with him because I remember that being mentioned but I haven't heard anything more about it. So do you guys don't know each other before this, right? Okay. I didn't know if you've been working together. The She-Codes Africa just sounds like a fabulous project but it's all new to me. So participants would like, that would be nice if we had something where we didn't have to include, would like a place just for our group to discuss, right? Yeah. Okay. I will check with him in the morning. Good one. Anything else? Did you stay? Okay. Cloudbies is supposed to be open more than that. Hmm. Because you guys should have access to it. Okay. I will check on that tomorrow too. Are you guys having fun so far? Yeah. Actually, yeah. Yeah. Okay. I don't, yeah, because I don't know that, I want to read your bios and see what all, where are you come from, what you've done before and what your interests are. So, but I hope it's fun so far. If it's not heavy, it's not fun, let us know because we'll make it fun for you or we'll try to. I have a question for the bio. Are we adding it on the document Mark shared or our own copy of document? Oh, either way, Mark's going to, Mark will pull them into the blog. So just put them someplace where he can get us, get a hold of them. Because we don't, I think we don't have access to edit the documents. Oh, okay. Do you want to just put it in a separate, actually you could put it in email for that matter, right? Yeah. We're supposed to make a copy of that document. That's your own copy, each of us. So that's where you actually put your own bio and picture. Okay. And you can't, well, you can, so you can clone, you can't edit it, you can clone, you've cloned. So you've each got a clone of that document, right? Do you want to put your bio info into your clone? That's what actually. So you'll, so everybody will put that into their own clone. So right? Is that where? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'll check with Mark too. I have a feeling he did not in, he has intended for you guys to have access to edit access. I'm not sure, but I'll check with him. And also because I think I've got the same maybe access on this document. So I will talk with him tomorrow. Okay. So that's bios. I can't wait to read those. Anything else you'd like to talk about? I think you marked Lucy as absent, which is here. Pardon? Is Lucy here? Yep. Hi Lucy. Hello. Oh, so good. And then we don't have to end early. We can go back and we will hear how Lucy's doing. How is it going with you? You see, I've already started off also. I was passing through the documentation and getting to understand the way I'm supposed to do it and also checking on my task. So yeah. And I was also installing those things that are supposed to be there halfway almost done. So maybe by the next meeting I will be, I will have finished. Okay. Good. Yeah. We just wanted to, we want to see where you are, if everything's going well and you haven't run into problems yet, right? Yeah. So far, so good. In case of anything then, I think I can contract the person who's in charge. Okay. And for everybody with the people, there was talk of having a Slack channel for this group and I haven't heard anything more about it. But everybody else says we would like a Slack channel. There is a, there is a Gitter channel which is for the whole community. And Mark would like for everybody to post just a hi there sometime today just to get, you know, and see what's there and conversation. You can post questions there. And because our next meeting, I believe it's not until the end of day Friday for you guys. Obviously, feel free to email us if you run into any issues. We don't want you to sit there for five days frustrated. That's no fun. So feel free to email us if you run into any issues. And I guess the only one I guess for a couple of you, the little tidbit that in the when you install Jenkins that asks for credentials that's actually username and password for your laptop that apparently was a problem for a couple of people that seems to be the only one so far right. By then I'm having an issue with time because there is a time I was trying to get into a meeting but I found that it was not on. So that's how I ended up being absent like we are colliding in a way that has been challenged when I'm trying to get into the meeting. Okay, into this meeting or which meeting? Okay, not today. It was, I think on Friday. Yeah. I think we're seeing something 10, 10 p.m. Oh, okay. I don't think you had a meeting last Friday. I think I'm not positive, but I think they did not do it, but there will be. Yeah, there was a kickoff meeting, I think, which was the early Thursday morning. So Thursday night, your time, I believe. There's the evening. And then I don't think Mark did a mentoring meeting on Friday. I think this was to be the first mentoring meeting, but not positive. I was trying to get in and I was not allowed in. There was no one. So it was the wrong time, but I didn't say a communicative event to the members so that I cannot be left behind, especially. Yes. So that was that was unable or was blocked. So that was the kickoff meeting, right? Yeah. Oh, dear. The good news is that we did record that. So I will have Mark. Okay. So did you, Lucy, have you seen the, you've got the general document for the plan and everything, right? Yeah, I have access to it. I saw it. That's what I've been hoping for. And you saw the mail, then that everybody's yeah. Okay. So you've got that. Yeah, that's how you're starting, right? Okay. As I say, let us know if you've got any issues or problems and we'll find out why you were unable to get into that meeting and hopefully that won't be a problem in the future. And if we have a Slack channel, of course, if you can't get in, you can always ping on that. We'll, we will figure that out. This is kind of new to all of us. And anything else of interest, let's see bios and photos, we're going to put the, then make a clone of that and that's where you post your screenshots of your status. And everybody agreed that's where they're going to put their bios and photos that Mark will pick up. And if you're not comfortable doing a photo, you don't need to, but he likes photos. So the pictures are nice. I briefly mentioned the Jenkins code of contact. It's basically be nice to people and be respectful. It's all common sense. But most of all, we want to make sure that if any of you feel that anybody is not treating you well, please let us know immediately. The community does not like that. And we want to make sure that this is a good experience for all of you. So if people are not being nice to you, let us know quickly. And we'd like a Slack channel. Does that do it? Does anybody have anything else? Oh, we want to tell you again how happy we are that you're joining us on this and we're looking forward to a fun month. And please let us know if you have any problems whatsoever. We guarantee you you will not come up with something stupid that one of the rest of us hasn't done. So don't feel bad about it so far. It looks like you're off to a great start. So I forgot to remove the absence. Oh, yes. Thank you. Definitely. I can see you. I need you guys. You will keep me clean here. There we go. Okay. Anything else? Thank you very much. I will talk to you next week at the same time and we'll look forward to email and other things from you as the week goes on. And I am going to stop sharing and going to stop the recording.
