 Zoom recording. Alrighty, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Thanks for joining the Jenkins Advocacy Outreach SIG. Today is February 22nd. So on the agenda, I have GSAC 2024 Jenkins Award and the next scale that Mark and I are gonna be at. Is there anything else that we should add to the agenda? Yes, I'd like to add the conclusion of the Contributors Summit in Brussels. Do you, we can start with that, John Mark, if that's okay with you? Yeah, no problem. Yeah. Okay, so there are a couple of information that need to be said. So first it was a successful one if people didn't hear it already. Good attendance, very good stuff discussed and it was a great moment being together. We are working and the we is more directed to Kevin on a summary blog post to explain what happened and to maybe get more people interested to attend to a next edition. Yeah, thanks for that, Kevin. The third point is that I secured, bribed with chocolate, the very kind sponsor for the meeting room we had prior to FOSDEM so that if we want, we can do either a Contributors Summit or a meetup or just a social event pre FOSDEM in that room. So we have, it's for free and we just need to confirm that we want a room in October. Although I will be busy with moving to another country and getting into my retiree shoes at that moment, I will continue to handle that and with you here. So if we want to organize something, I have the contacts and it's a good excuse for me to say hello in Brussels and to come back. So I'll continue if interested to look after that event. It could also be great if you introduced me to the lady there, John Mark, and then I could have it in my Rolodex and reach out to her and follow up when we get close to October. Sure, yeah. I'm counting on you to keep me in the loop. We'll keep in touch also after the summer. Okay, sounds good. So that, well, I will be a community member then and just you know I'm ready to help with that. So let me know. Thank you. This is all for Contributor. Awesome. And then, so for GSOC 2024, as you saw, we are accepted into Google Summer of Code. Last week we did a part one project idea overview where we covered five project ideas, mainly a hi Bruno. So this is mainly for Bruno and John Mark. I'm thinking of scheduling the next one for next Tuesday at the same time, which is 4pm UTC. I did check with Alex Brandes and he's going to be available and talk about his project idea. Will you, will these, will this date work for you both? Just checking. Yeah. For me, it's all okay. Yeah, and I think I heard Bruno say something. Yeah, I think I said fine with me. Okay. Okay. And then I'll follow up with Chris offline after the meeting. We're ready. And then project idea list is currently updated and current. Thank you, Chris, for that. Let me see what else and then I will communicate with all mentors to be keep an eye out for to help review and provide feedback for draft proposals starting now until March 18th because March 18th is when application begins. It's going to close on the 2nd of April. So we need to review those proposal drafts and provide feedback. And then ranking is due from us on April 24th. Maybe a note. I don't know if it needs to be written down here. I'm working on two drafts on Jenkins IO. One is the update of the Jumbotron. And the other one is the blog post to announce the selection and to give some hints. So I need some, some eyes there. I just started it. Yeah. So I think we need to update some stuff. So yeah, I can all work on this with you as well. John Mark after this call. Cause I know it's late for you. So I can take it over. Still to have an hour. Okay. Yeah. And I was planning on reviewing it as well, John Mark, cause I saw the pull request and everything come through just before the meeting. So yeah. Now where I would need Alyssa and Kevin is that this is just copying the two last year's announcements. Yeah. So a little bit rubber stamp. Yeah. So if we could add some flowers to it. I will. Yeah. There's some updating we need to do. So definitely. I'll double check the data in the picture. Got it. Yep. I will do that. Anything else that I'm missing for GSOC this year. We, well, yeah. All mentors need to register on. The Google summer of code side. Yeah. So a couple of things too. On the technical side. And I don't know if you're, you're going to. To do an office hour or not. This I leave to you. I know I like office hours. Oh yeah. Yeah. We will definitely need to do that. So you mean. Stretching. Here. Yeah. To answer questions. For the people that are competing for the proposals. Then we can discuss. Once. The contributors are selected. If there it's necessary. Now I did it that way because I like doing that way, but choose your. Your way of doing knowing that for Chris, it's very late. Yeah. I know. Can be heavy. So just pointing that you have to discuss if you're going to do it. Okay. I'll take a look at what we did last year and then. And plan for it. But I think the office hours. Help. I think last year we did. Was it weekly? Yeah. We run it weekly. Okay. All right. I shall look into that. Anything else before we move on. No. Okay. The Jenkins award. So. The nominations are closed. Thank you, Bruno. Sorry. Thank you, Kevin and. Mark for adding the. The nominations and. Wanted to also say congratulations to Chris for his. For their nomination. And so now it's time to, for us to cast our vote. So we can do. Voting in for the Jenkins awards as well as the CDF award, because I know that Kevin has a nomination over there as well. So congratulations, Kevin. So don't forget to hop over to CDF awards and nominate. How many votes for Kevin? How do you vote? Can you maybe remind us that. So. You would, we would put, let me see if I can link. To here. Can you still see my screen? Yep. Okay. So I'm moving over to, I'm over to GitHub. So the way we vote is add a thumbs up. Okay. Yeah. So it's a way we want it to be transparent with the nomination, the voting, that's all it should take seconds. One vote or you can vote. Just as whatever that you, your heart desires, because I think at the end of the day, we would look at the number, the highest number for each category. Okay. I think everybody is a winner. To be honest, and I could not choose one, but at the end of the day, the highest number gets the trophy. Yeah. If you will. If you have a communication, maybe just give a hint that this is a technique. Yeah. As Kevin said, there is documentation explaining. Yeah, I should read the documentation. Yes, but I will know that's a good point because I will send out a tweet because voting starts today. Until March 22nd. Okay. How can we vote for getting on the CDF awards? So you go to the, here we go. Glad I put this link here. So I am showing the CDF site right now, Bruno. And so if let's say, Kevin is under documentary. So I click on that and then. Oh, it's a very same way. You put this up and you're done. Right. Right. There is an issue per award. Got it. Thank you. Yeah. We try not to do anything different from what CDF does. You're nominated to Bruno. Yes. I know. Yeah. Thank you so much. And I just want to make sure that we can have the same problem of not wanting to talk about ourselves like that. So yeah. I, yeah, I nominated Bruno because I think Bruno is great and deserves the nomination in no itself. But yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to say the same for myself though. So, but yeah, Bruno. All good. We will keep that offline. But we definitely think that both of you. We all contribute a lot to it. Yeah, so just want to throw that out there that you can you can vote for both Jenkins Award and the CDF Award. And then Mark and I will be at scale, which is in Southern California in Los Angeles. March 14 to the 17th, that's going to be our in-person event that we're there every year. So we will have a booth there that thanks to scale, they donated to us. It's a 10 by 10 booth space, so which is quite decent for us. So glad to be there again this year for free. And then I will be on vacation April 3 to the 19th. But I should be able to take care of stuff before I go. And then I'll reach out to the appropriate folks to help me keep the ball rolling while I'm out because that's going to be a period where grading is going to take place. And selection is going to take place. But yeah, it's important time, but I will be back on the 19th. The 19th is a Friday, so I'll be back the Monday after that. So I should be able to make the deadline to submit the ranking into the GSOC portal so that we are on schedule. Okay. Anything else that we need to discuss before we end? I just wanted to highlight Alyssa, we published Tim Jacob's contributor spotlight yesterday. I just put the link in the chat so we have it here but Tim Jacob's contributor spotlight was published yesterday, same day as the latest release. So I wanted to make sure that's not lost in the shuffle of everything else going on. Worth mentioning. Good point. Yeah, but thanks a lot for that, Kevin. I learned a few things about Jim, by the way, so that's pretty useful. You know, you discover the real person behind the committer. That's great work. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you, Bruno. I enjoy reading all these stories actually. So highly recommend. And I think Kevin likes to do these interviews and they're very useful. I have found a lot of common ground with folks that I never thought I would. And I think, especially with the contributor summit now and kind of the rear view at this point. It's a really nice supplement to that where I was able to meet everyone have the contributor summit experience and now this is the other side of it that nice background that even in the nicest circumstances you might not get. It's just really great to have that that side of the contributors and the community being shown. Yeah. Yeah, I hope we can keep adding more people to this list because building up the site. I think it's awesome. Definitely. Alrighty. That's it. Good evening. Have a good day. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye bye everybody.
