 Welcome to documentation office hours. It's the 15th of July, 2021. And a reminder, we abide by the Jenkins Code of Conduct here. Be nice to each other. So agenda topics, Shikot Africa, Contributon, Zinab, we'll put that on. We've also got, let's see if we should probably talk to weekly change log automation briefly, just because that's very interesting to me. LTS baseline selection, upcoming events may be interesting to you, Zinab, and, okay, good. All right, so let's. DevOps world, yeah. And a contributor summit with DevOps world and more. All right. Any topics that you wanted to be sure on the agenda, Zinab? No, that's it. Okay, well, let's do the first topic then. Contributors, is Shikot Africa, Contributon? Share with us the latest status. Okay, so we just finished the internal reports and also published a recap article on Medium. I could share the link. Okay, let me just get it right now and share to you. So we can include it there. Okay, so I've shared the link to the recap article in the chat, yeah. But there is a more detailed report that contains how we, total funding we got from all the sponsors, how we spent it, and some other details that we can make public. So that document, we're going to be sharing that with the sponsors. So they can get more detailed information on how the whole program went and every information they need about the program also would also be included in the reports. That's great to hear. Thank you. So that would go to, let's see the sponsors that I know about. There was CDF, CloudBees. CloudBees, the art company. Oh, that's right. Yes, and Deploy Hope. Very good. Congratulations on four sponsors. That's great. Thank you. So yeah, I think that's the update I have for my end. Okay, and from my side, Mark had a, so Onyinye Ezike is actively working to become a Jenkins plugin maintainer. She's submitted two pull requests to adopt a plugin and she submitted two requests and is preparing to adopt a plugin. And so developing her skills, et cetera. In addition, Sharon Jebitok and Mark had a conversation with today with a bootcamp organization called Lake Hub Academy that Sharon has attended. So reviewed the results of the contributon, discussed things that went well. The Lake Hub Academy is apparently a JavaScript training organization. And so not directly applicable to what we needed to do in Jenkins, but good to have a discussion with them so that they understood, hey, we needed someone who learned and Sharon did a very good job of learning rapidly a new technology. So, and that was a good experience for everybody. And so it was, thanks very much, good thing. I still have, Mark still has the action item to write a concluding blog post for Jenkins.io and to remove the images from the Jenkins Jumbotron. We're still highlighting the Shikot Africa project, the contributon, even though it was finished a month ago. So you see it here on the screen that that's great, but it's outdated, right? So I need to shift that and we'll replace that with an announcement for DevOps world. Okay. And that will happen. We'll do that during Mondays, Docs office hours, Asia Pacific, because we've got Dheeraj Singh Joda who wants to learn how to do that. Any other questions from you on Shikot Africa contributon? Yeah, so I just wanted to ask if Jenkins would like to participate in upcoming cohorts of contributon, if it's something that you've been interested because we intend to make it a yearly program. But for the cohorts we are going to be having next year, we plan to start making announcements and speaking with mentoring organizations on time. So we can give the organizations enough time to prepare before the events, probably by the end of this year, the last spot of this year, plan to start reaching out to organizations already. Then we plan to extend the time in Lee too. So since the bootcamp is for one month, we don't want to make it too long, but I want to see if we can give the mentees like two weeks before the bootcamp officially starts. So they can use that two weeks as sort of like a community bonding period or something where they can be able to set up all the necessary tools, they need to set up, meet all the people they need to meet within the community, they need to have knowledge sharing sessions. So it doesn't affect them too much during the one month program because we had a lot of mentees who complained that they spent a lot of time out of that one month just trying to set up and understand how to even start before even making the contribution. So I want to give that brief period before the bootcamp starts so they can get a head start to do all this. Good, I like that idea. I like that idea very much. Let me bring it up to bring the idea to other parts of the organization. One of the of Jenkins community, one of the challenges we had was plug-in maintainers that were not quick to review poll requests, right? And so that meant we needed to, we need to get more people agreed that they will, agreed that they will assist. And there are certainly plenty of still many plugins that would benefit from better online help. And so the project is still useful. Project has lots of work to do to make that useful. Now, are you interested in, so for instance, we had talked at one point about terminology updates. Terminology updates, yeah. And that's more of a, that's a closer to the software change than the help is. Help still requires that they're inside the software. Are you, is that an interesting project? Yes, it is. Okay, good. So remember I mentioned earlier that one project, Jenkins Code submits more than one project topic. And we can assign different people to be working on the different projects. So it's not composed with just one, just like we had for layer five, they had three projects and we had a total of, I think nine mentees working on the three projects. Okay. We'll be able to cover more. Good, all right. Okay. And so the likely timeline is still probably April of 2022? Yes. Okay. All right, good to know. All right. You could put, you would just include March, April. All right, because, well, how about we just put, what if I put it this way? Spring of 2022, are you in the Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere? I guess it doesn't matter to you, right? Because you're sort of equated or you don't, there isn't this thing like spring, so that doesn't help early 2022. How about that? That's fine. Yeah, maybe we just put it March, April. I have to forget that my cultural context is Northern Hemisphere and Northern Latitudes, which means spring really is a thing. But in your world, it probably isn't, right? There's rainy season and dry season. Dry, exactly, exactly. Okay. Yeah, so that's, I think that sits for me for the program. Okay, well, so then let's plan for future discussions in this session to be sure that we understand. I'll start a thread in the mailing list. The, actually maybe, you know what, I'm going to start it in a different location. It's said in community.jankens.io and point to it from the mailing list. Because we've got a new location that we're trying out that uses a very nice collaboration tool. So this is community.jankens.io and it's got all sorts of useful in it. Let's see if I can find anything on it in the contributon. Okay, yeah. Oh, that's fun. Okay, so there is actually a casual mention. So yes, we've got a place that we could start those and I'm trying to get off the docs mailing list to that location too. Great. All right. Anything else on the contributon topic? No, that's it. Okay, so we've got a poll request proposal from Tim Jacome to automate weekly changelog generation. And there were some concerns expressed by Daniel Beck, but I'm prone to go ahead with it once I have time to review it. It looks very promising. And we have a contributor in India who's helping us with the changelogs every week now and review and discussion with him. Then the other piece of news was September's baseline selection is this week and need to start the discussions because it should be either 2.300, 2.301 or 2.302. And I'll start those discussions. I don't know that we've got any big impact there. So upcoming events, you and I, Xenob have been approved to speak together at DevOps world about the contributon. And I'll draft some first slides and we'll plan them or if you're okay with it, we can even use these sessions to do some planning and discussion on our presentation. Okay, that's great. Then also if you need any information from me, maybe like stuffs we use for the program or any information about planning the program internally or things like that. Oh, that would be great. That would really be great because planning processes are something that are not familiar to me at all. So I think we probably ought to give about half the presentation to that kind of material. And so I'll put a placeholder into the first slides and let you insert how you would like to describe it. Great, excellent, thank you. Now, we'll also have a contributor summit that's still being planned in the advocacy and outreach SIG. I don't know that we'll do anything in that summit related to the documentation. Not yet decided because the agenda is still being refined. The agenda is still under development. Now this one is interesting, possibly for using out Xenob because it will be intentionally during Asia Pacific time zone, which means it will be very, tend to be early your morning and tend to be the middle of my night. Okay. We'll just keep you informed of the timings in hopes that you'll be able to attend. Hopefully. About DevOps world, that's something. Cause I'm also, I also have a session that I'll be speaking alone at DevOps world. But, and I noticed that they are already sending news about booking recording sessions and submitting slides. I don't know if, cause I don't know. I've not been getting any notification for the joint session we have, just the session I'll be speaking alone. So I don't know. Oh, okay. So have not received anything for our session. Okay. So I'll double check with, I'll double check with the organizers. Okay. Okay. Great. Yeah. It may be that they're further ahead on the tracks that are outside of the Jenkins community. Okay. All right. Anything else? Nothing else outside, there's something else, but I think you can stop the recording. Okay. Let's do that. I'm going to stop the share, stop the recording.
