&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Hello&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sidhantb&amp;gt; Hello!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; Hello everyone&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; so...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; welcome to GCI 2018&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Yay!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; we have a very short runway this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; ibiam, walterbender : thanks for preponing meeting&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; the contest begins in just 2 weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; yes&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; :)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; hi everyone&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I think that everyone is set up now on the GCI site. We can start adding tasks there directly.&lt;br /&gt;
* amanharitsh123 (~amanharit@189.48.231.35.bc.googleusercontent.com) has joined&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; (They will not be visible to the students.)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; that sounds perfect&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; A few things to keep in mind:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;amanharitsh123&amp;gt; Hey Everyone , sorry I am late :|&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; There will be a link included on EVERY task to a background page I wrote up in the wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Google_Code_In_2018/background&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; please help improve it&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; It covers general info like IRC, git, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Also, we have (as usual) a beginner task to walk people through the Sugar Labs pull request process&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ve already added that one.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; So you can assume that people will know how to make a PR, which should be the gold standard for all tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Please try to be as clear as possible in describing a task&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; and add a link to any relevant github issues where appropriate&lt;br /&gt;
* Ritwik (9d30f107@gateway/web/freenode/ip.157.48.241.7) has joined&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; We can have design tasks, programming tasks, research tasks, etc&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; and also create tasks that are time bound .ie. could be completed with 3-4 days&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; 3 days is the minimum. Some tasks may take longer.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I usually think of the days as a way of indicating difficulty level.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; yeah&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; But a complex task is best broken into smaller pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Ritwik&amp;gt; The students are evaluated based on quantity and quality both so there must be some beginner tasks&lt;br /&gt;
* sum2it (uid281472@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-eviwbyhpvqhlsoox) has joined&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; Okay, is there the data dump available for GCI2017?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; For example, we made about 5 tasks out of rewriting the Music Blocks server last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Apologies, I&amp;#039;m 10 minutes late.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; Ritwik: there will be beginner tasks like creating a PR, setting up sugar etc&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I have a data dump on my laptop.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I am not sure how much purpose it serves as most tasks were specific to issues.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; Ritwik: quality counts over quantity&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; walterbender: please share, it helped me add tasks last time, now that we are not using GCI API&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; I wanted to ask about MB too!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; yeah, me to&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; We can have many MB tasks :)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; too*&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; &amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt;yeah sure&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; The dump is an individual JSON file for each task... a bit unwieldy&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Id there something in particular you are looking for?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; There is a bulk uploader BTW&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ll happily see over any MB tasks that required to be done. Please share the JSON whenever you feel so.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; we could autogenerate a task for each open issue on GH and bulk load them&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; But we need to cull them carefully&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; yeah&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; walterbender: we can use bulk uploader for CSV that we are using right now&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; to make sure (1) the issue is current (2) clear (3) and has mentors&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Hrishi_, yeah... but is it worth it? &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; We can do with Ghub API like Ignacio and I helped last time&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; If you want, up load them&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; but they all need very extensive editing before we can publish them&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; If we can manually add no, but if we want everyone to add tasks first, then it&amp;#039;s fine&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; walterbender: in autogenerating tasks with open issues, some issues are dated quite some time ago&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; Also, about the data dumps, it&amp;#039;d be great to show newer mentors how submissions of MB and other tasks should be.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; We can publish only what you feel strongly aligned with.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I think if everyone loaded the tasks they wrote up (using the CSV upload or by hand) and marked that the task has been uploaded...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; walterbender: would these be selected first before uploading?&lt;br /&gt;
* Hrishi_ I will add more tasks after 8th when my mid semester gets over :)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I will go through every task before publishing them&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; And some issues didn&amp;#039;t reach a conclusion, like the temperament one.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; The other thing I am concerned about it mentoring&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I really want multiple mentors per task&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; a task with just one mentor will not get published.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; but also, we need to be very strict about accepting student work.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; We have to be consistent&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ll volunteer for almost every task that is within my capabilities. I assume Jaskirat would do so too , maybe.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; which means, in the beginning, I will ask that each of you contact me when you think a task is complete&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; sure, that sounds good&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Once we get aligned, I will &amp;quot;grant&amp;quot; you more autonomy.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; &amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; sure&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;octamois&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;perrie&amp;gt; hello&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;vaibhavdaren&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;perrie&amp;gt; sorry I&amp;#039;m late&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; But also, please remember this is ultimately about the students learning and having fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; So be helpful and thoughtful and fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; It would be great if we could get a 100 or so tasks written up in the next week or so.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; yeah&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; And then we keep adding as the contest goes on.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Ritwik&amp;gt; How to decide which task gets published&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; One thing: there is a &amp;quot;bug&amp;quot; in the GCI software. Admins don&amp;#039;t get a notification when a new task is added.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; So if you want Ibiam or I to look at your task, please send us a link.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;octamois&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; @Ritwik, I look for clarity, relevance, and whether it is doable.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sidhantb&amp;gt; Should we first type out a task on a secondary medium like email or google docs and then share it with you and Ibiam or directly add it to the GCI software?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Be verbose in your descriptions&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; and include links for more info&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; @sidhantb, I prefer to work with the GCI interface, so we know what it will look like in the system.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; (You can use limited Markdown, including [foo](link) for links&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sidhantb&amp;gt; Alright.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;octamois&amp;gt; How will multiple mentors be allotted same task, if one mentor is adding specific task?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; you can assign yourself to any task you want to&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; remember, the tasks should have some relevance to Sugar Labs, which means some relevance to the application of Software Libre to learning.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; We can have as many mentors per task as we want.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; sidhantb: you can also use ``` for code&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; if you want to include any in the tasak&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; octamois, you can individually choose which task you want to mentor if it shows on the list regardless of who created it&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; task&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;octamois&amp;gt; Ok, rishabh42_&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Anyone else who is mentoring with music blocks background?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; FWIW, just pointing to an issue in GH is not a good task. You should include a brief description and tag with relevant skills, e.g., Python, JS, design, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; I would like to get started with contributing to MB as well&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; sum2it, ^^&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; and make sure that the issues you point to are clearly articulated. Many are pretty sketchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Have you gone through the MB code @rishabh42_?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; There are almost 200 open issues for MB alone&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; so no shortage of things to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Alright.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ve been on a tear trying to get things ready for the Japan deployment.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; walterbender, sure. I spoke to Hrishi_ about this earlier this week&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; They have lots of new features that they&amp;#039;d like down the road as well.. perfect for GCI tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Please let me know if any kind of help is needed @walterbender&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sidhantb&amp;gt; walterbender: I recently saw a few organisations following a strict specification(templates) for their issues which are pretty through. Would something like that make sense for SL as a whole to implement or individual projects?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Would be great to keep the momentum going from the summer re Python3 and GTK3&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; sounds good also book for india market, walterbender&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; sidhantb, It is not likely to happen...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; but we could/should do better about tags.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; walterbender: python3 port for activities?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; sum2it, I&amp;#039;ve gone through the project and repo, yet to get involved with contributing though..was caught up with some other projects&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Documentation is a acceptable task.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; ibiam, that is a valid task&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I think it would be best to make a separate task for each activity that needs to be ported.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; @rishabh42_ no worries, we need to test MB extensively. Can you help with that before GCI starts?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; it is easier for the students that way.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; yeah&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; We can also have blog and outreach tasks, it must not be a boring task though&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; sum2it, sure!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; We could make 3 tasks: (1) find all the activities that still need gtk3 porting; (2) find all the activities that still need Pyhton3 porting; (30 find all the activities where the git history is missing.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; We can use the results of those 3 tasks to create many many more tasks :P&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ll also check the RPi image if there&amp;#039;s anything required that can be accomplished via GCI&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; walterbender, +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;Hrishi_&amp;gt; A reference for what needs porting https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues/787&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sidhantb&amp;gt; I wanted to talk about Design tasks. I have some ideas regarding tasks which range from social media to our core design documentation. I want the students to feel that what they&amp;#039;ve made is being used by SL, be it designing social media posts(which do get used, maybe a separate design guide for it) or making something following the spec. Like from my experience last year I got immense satisfaction when I saw my blog post bein&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;amanharitsh123&amp;gt; rishabh42_ Possibly could work on my script to improve performance&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;amanharitsh123&amp;gt; and on your script to refractor code , like I did during GSoC :)&lt;br /&gt;
* Ritwik has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Can we have testing tasks in GCI?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;yashagrawal3&amp;gt; Will updated tasks related to gtk3 port.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; Yeah amanharitsh123 , by RPi I meant all the projects pertaining to it :)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; One last thing... let&amp;#039;s use sugar-devel for our communication unless there is a private matter that needs to be discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; testing (and writing tests) is a fine task for GCI&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;amanharitsh123&amp;gt; walterbender +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; any other questions for the moment?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;avinashbharti97&amp;gt; walterbender: which are the major projects to be focused on?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; avinashbharti97, anything to do with the Sugar Desktop, Music and Turtle Blocks, Sugarizer and Primero&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; and various platform plays, like RPi&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Anyone else overseeing/mentoring MB tasks apart from you?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Another nice task are is in developing lesson plans or activities around Sugar&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sidhantb&amp;gt; What about outreach?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;avinashbharti97&amp;gt; walterbender: I was planning to go with sugarlabs social project too ..&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; sum2it, Devin among others&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Oh great!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; 2-3 from the Japan team&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Alright.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Euan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; avinashbharti97, that is fine&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Marketing materials...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; classroom visits/workshops&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;rishabh42_&amp;gt; walterbender, just a side note, should we also work on publishing the Sugar image on Raspberrypi.org?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; just not translation&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; that sounds perfect&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; that is not allowed.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; So... I think we all have lots to do in preparation.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Remember to have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; and learn a lot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; IRC and the comments section in the GCI website&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; each task has a comment section for tasks&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;avinashbharti97&amp;gt; walterbender: should the info about the creation of new task is shared on sugar-devel or personally with you and ibiam?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;amaan_iqbal&amp;gt; okay&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Also, where will the guidelines for the standard of approving the tasks shared?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Since everyone will have to uphold to the same standard.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; sum2it, The bottom line is: would you merge the PR?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; sum2it, the expectation is the same level of quality we expect from developers &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;sum2it&amp;gt; Alright, got it.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; eohomegrownapps, have you seen all the recent changes to MB?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; serious overhaul&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; all positive, I think&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; ooh nice&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; haven&amp;#039;t had time recently (school&amp;#039;s been very busy)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ve been pretty busy too...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; but I&amp;#039;ll take a look in a few hours&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; eohomegrownapps, love your feedback&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; (just out of interest, how&amp;#039;s your day job going?)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; also regarding the creation of tasks:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; I seem to remember you saying something about creating tasks for a Git backend to the planet&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; is this something I should do? what would you want from the backend?&lt;br /&gt;
* perrie has quit (Remote host closed the connection)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; eohomegrownapps, write up anything you think would be interesting&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; but try to make bitesized pieces&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;eohomegrownapps&amp;gt; will do&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; any SLOB members here?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; samsongoddy, ?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; elverma, ?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Hello&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; hi&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; no quorum&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; and no one except you and I responded to the email motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Yeah&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I think it is time to gear up for an election to vote in a new board that actually is interested in participating.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; +1&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; I agree&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ll send an email reminding SLOB members to please vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;aaguirre_&amp;gt; hi&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; And another to the community looking for candidates&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Agreed too&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; How was your US trip? Looked great in the photos&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; ^^ aaguirre_ &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; samsongoddy, I think I will look up the stats on meeting attendance over the past few years by some of our long-time board members... it won&amp;#039;t be pretty :P&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; There is alot the Board need to do&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; yes... but apparently 1 hour a month -- scheduled well in advance -- is too much of a commitment for our peers :(&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Yeah&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Maybe it is time we ask for commitment&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;aaguirre_&amp;gt; it was great! :-)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I wouldn&amp;#039;t care except the SFC won&amp;#039;t let us do anything without the board vote.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; samsongoddy, the commitment is implicit. everyone knows the rules&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; You are right&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; samsongoddy, anything else for today?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; aaguirre_, check out the latest Music Blocks... lots-of-fun&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Nothing really. I wanted to discuss about sugar labs vision&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; And goals&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; But i guess&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; hi&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; We long propose goals&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; But currently we are working on just 30%&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Of what was written down&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; I think those goals needs to be agreed on&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; samsongoddy, you and jaskirat should come up with a new marketing team agenda...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; I am working on that&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; I am looking at Sean&amp;#039;s previous plan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Soas&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; &amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; thanks i am on it making some plans&lt;br /&gt;
* ibiam (~myirc@197.210.55.2) has joined&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Let&amp;#039;s cast a wide net first... and then narrow the scope.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; Hi&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Agreed&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Ssoc&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; ?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Is that gonna be a thing as we discussed?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; What is Ssoc?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Sugar Labs Summer of Code&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; The one you mentioned&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; Some meetings back&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; OK. I didn&amp;#039;t recognize the acronym&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; I also plan to bring bac Sugar Labs ambassadors&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; *back&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; A group of advocates&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Given that we have 12 interns from Google last year--about as many as we could find mentors for, adding another program is a bit sketchy&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Ambassadors could be a good idea... but we need to spell out what it really means.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ifeanyi_&amp;gt; Hi all, a bit late.&lt;br /&gt;
* sum2it has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;ll post the log in the wiki.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; Meanwhile, anyone with GCI ideas, please share them on Sugar Devel&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; or directly with Ibiam and me.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; It has a document on the wiki&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; okay sure&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;samsongoddy&amp;gt; I will with you later&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ifeanyi_&amp;gt; Okay @walterbender&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; anything else for today?&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; I&amp;#039;m a little lost&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; Network issues&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; What are we voting on&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;jaskirat&amp;gt; okay thanks a lot , i guess if approved then sfc should not take another couple of days to make it move&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ifeanyi_&amp;gt; Are the emails tracked? Like number of opens, so we know the stats, if they are ignoring it or yet to access the mail&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; Well... that is definitely a barrier to participation by people not familiar with irc. The most obtuse instructions I have ever seen&lt;br /&gt;
* jaskirat has quit (Ping timeout: 256 seconds)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; OK so is this the meeting or not???&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ifeanyi_&amp;gt; Yes it is the meeting @GrannieB_&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; GrannieB_: it&amp;#039;s to avoid the spam attacks&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; Only registered users can access the channel&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ifeanyi_&amp;gt; I started very early trying to bypass those barriers. It was quite difficult&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; Yes, but it is definitely a barrier. The instructions are scattered and not at all clear&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; I tried yesterday and then spent a lot of time today&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ifeanyi_&amp;gt; Maybe a documentation can help. Where and what to click to overcome the spam blocks&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; GrannieB_: the instructions are clear&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; It&amp;#039;s just your chat client that requires you joining each time you want to use it&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ifeanyi_&amp;gt; You&amp;#039;re very correct @ibiam . It&amp;#039;s the chat client that is causing the glitches (at least from my end)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; GrannieB_, maybe you can share your process -- obviously successful -- so others can learn from you?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; I think I accidentally did it!&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; I actually registered twice... same name and pw, 2 confirmation emails&lt;br /&gt;
* sidhantb has quit (Quit: Page closed)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; GrannieB_, let&amp;#039;s be systematic about this. first the basics: what computer/OS are you using?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; then, what tool did you use? browser? irc client?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; Chrome freenode&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; but the order you do things in matters... a lot&lt;br /&gt;
* Mayank8055_ has quit (Quit: Page closed)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; The first confirmation message I got would not work. It said the nick was already in use&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; The second one (same nick... different code from them) worked&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; GrannieB_, https://webchat.freenode.net/ ???&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; yes&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; GrannieB_: after you got the first message did you try to identify your nick&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; So it was just a matter of trying repeatedly?&lt;br /&gt;
* Hrishi_ has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; no. It was more than that. I could write some easier instructions if I can figure out how I did it. The main problem is where it tells you to &amp;quot;log in&amp;quot; and they aren&amp;#039;t talking about a password or anything like that that I can see&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; When I was trying to log in with my nick it kept telling me that it was not available, that it was taken. After the second time registering it, things worked&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; The registration instructions are ok&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; it is what to do after that is messed up&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; Hello&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; Sorry, I got called awy&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; I had a bunch of trouble logging in as well&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; GrannieB_: whatever you do after is because of your client&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; elverma, while we have your attention, please vote on the email motion re Jaskirat&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; Will do&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ibiam&amp;gt; It always requires that you login each time you open it&lt;br /&gt;
* fnerk (497e4bb7@gateway/web/freenode/ip.73.126.75.183) has joined&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; OK what does it mean to &amp;quot;log in?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; I just followed the instructions at https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration and it worked first time...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; Exactly how does one do that?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;gt;NickServ&amp;lt; identify ****&lt;br /&gt;
-NickServ- You are already logged in as walterbender.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; type /msg NickServ identify YOURPASSWORD&lt;br /&gt;
* fnerk has quit (Quit: Page closed)&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; When I finally got in, I went through the &amp;quot;not a robot&amp;quot; drill... I had put in my user name and that was all. Then when I got an irc screen, I pasted the message verifying my registration into the bar at the bottom, That got me in. then I changed channels to #sugar - meeting&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; walterbender, I don&amp;#039;t see the motion. Is it on SLOB?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;GrannieB_&amp;gt; Oh, and it told me my registration was complete after I pasted in the verification&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; elverma, I emailed it Wednesday and again about 10 minutes ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; GrannieB_, Please see if https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Google_Code_In_2018/background#Getting_set_up_on_IRC matches your experience.&lt;br /&gt;
* walterbender needs to disappear in a few minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
* ibiam has to go&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; walterbender Interesting. I see it on lists.sl.o but not in my email...something is broken.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; Can you record +1 from me for the motion?&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; will do...&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;walterbender&amp;gt; maybe check your entry on the listserv&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;elverma&amp;gt; walterbender: will do. Entire threads for Oct are missing in my email. Not in spam either.&lt;br /&gt;
