2018-05-11 16:19:48	<r054l13>	Sorry for poping in and out
2018-05-11 16:21:29	<r054l13>	https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/AWMD_IRC-Meeting-6
2018-05-11 16:21:35	<Eugene233>	r054l13: It's fine. Ride on

2018-05-11 16:22:45	<r054l13>	I sent the agenda and the link to the minutes in case one will like to help sumerise a few things down
2018-05-11 16:23:21	<r054l13>	So the first point on the agenda is ;
2018-05-11 16:23:25	<r054l13>	GSoC and Outreachy results from AWMD
2018-05-11 16:24:15	<Eugene233>	Great!
2018-05-11 16:25:10	<r054l13>	So far this is first time AWMD goes in for outreach pograms
2018-05-11 16:25:39	<r054l13>	So alot of students where new to the program and some had external difficulties
2018-05-11 16:26:21	<r054l13>	In previous meetings we spoke of some methods of making a change for next year
2018-05-11 16:26:41	<r054l13>	But before that, this year was not void for us :)
2018-05-11 16:27:50	<r054l13>	We got a student from Africa accepted for the Google Summer of Code program under Wikimedia. Good news :D
2018-05-11 16:28:38	<africanhope>	Good to hear
2018-05-11 16:29:11	<r054l13>	I think if we have to do better next year we should prepare now. And why not even have AWMD propose a project for the summer of code

2018-05-11 16:37:44	<r054l13>	Any comment concerning that point so we move to next point
2018-05-11 16:38:26	<africanhope>	Nothing to add here
2018-05-11 16:38:35	<r054l13>	Ok great
2018-05-11 16:38:55	<r054l13>	next point Opportunity for developers (one month duration)
2018-05-11 16:39:44	<r054l13>	This point was included in the agenda just as a reminder to the mail Kacie sent on the mailing list
2018-05-11 16:40:23	<r054l13>	It will be cool if those interested can apply for the job
2018-05-11 16:40:51	<Eugene233>	r054l13: yes
2018-05-11 16:41:34	<r054l13>	I think they need a UI/UX designer. I am glad she contacted us.
2018-05-11 16:42:24	<r054l13>	If nothing more we can move to the next point
2018-05-11 16:42:42	<r054l13>	Kacie's mail has all info concerning that
2018-05-11 16:45:35	<Eugene233>	we can move on I'm sure...
2018-05-11 16:45:58	<r054l13>	3)Review on past contributions
2018-05-11 16:47:09	<r054l13>	I may be mistaking but I am not sure of much progress for the month of april on our board
2018-05-11 16:47:47	<r054l13>	I know d3r1ck and africanhope are working on the AWMD statistics tool
2018-05-11 16:48:34	<r054l13>	But I have no information concerning any AWMD member making a contribution in April, If one has he can mention please
2018-05-11 16:49:21	<r054l13>	Also, we are just 3 active members in this meeting. Like a lot of people are busy this period :)
2018-05-11 16:49:37	<africanhope>	I guess so :)
2018-05-11 16:49:56	<africanhope>	r054l13: Was the missing date announced earlier?
2018-05-11 16:49:59	<Eugene233>	Or may be the others forgot there was a meeting
2018-05-11 16:50:17	<africanhope>	It's only yesterday I remembered thanks to the e-mail you have sent
2018-05-11 16:50:51	<r054l13>	well maybe we should anounce our meetings earlier and more often?
2018-05-11 16:51:39	<africanhope>	It could help engage more people
2018-05-11 16:52:01	<r054l13>	Also d3r1ck lost his grandma and I understand he is not present today.
2018-05-11 16:52:06	<r054l13>	;9
2018-05-11 16:52:13	<africanhope>	That's sad
2018-05-11 16:52:13	<r054l13>	;(
2018-05-11 16:52:16	<r054l13>	yea
2018-05-11 16:52:26	<africanhope>	I'll make sure to contact him
2018-05-11 16:52:40	<r054l13>	africanhope: what do you think of reminding 3 days before the meeting
2018-05-11 16:52:52	<r054l13>	africanhope: that will be cool.
2018-05-11 16:53:50	<r054l13>	africanhope: So can we start reminding of our meetings on wednesdays for the meeting on Friday
2018-05-11 16:53:52	<africanhope>	If the day is known in advance 1 week earlier and then 3 days. 1 week earlier gives time to country coordinators to remind their guys accordingly
2018-05-11 16:54:14	<r054l13>	AH! that's a good idea
2018-05-11 16:54:22	<r054l13>	Ok!
2018-05-11 16:54:28	<Eugene233>	r054l13: I second the idea
2018-05-11 16:54:36	<r054l13>	nice
2018-05-11 16:55:25	<r054l13>	I will be sending reminder emails one week before, 3 days before. the day before and finaly the actual day
2018-05-11 16:56:41	<africanhope>	r054l13: Thanks very much. However its local coordinators job to keep in mind the monthly meeting dates and remind their guys.
2018-05-11 16:57:13	<r054l13>	Nice precision
2018-05-11 16:57:26	<r054l13>	Then we can go to next point if no more comment on this
2018-05-11 16:58:10	<africanhope>	nice
2018-05-11 16:58:26	<r054l13>	4) Difficulties faced during contributions
2018-05-11 16:59:26	<r054l13>	Normally this point is for new contributors and many are not present for the meeting today. except you guys have something to point out

2018-05-11 17:03:52	<Eugene233>	I think we will better talk on the solutions when we are aware of the problems.
2018-05-11 17:05:14	<r054l13>	ok
2018-05-11 17:05:26	<r054l13>	next point

2018-05-11 17:06:51	<r054l13>	africanhope: Can we hear from you on that please?

2018-05-11 17:13:44	<africanhope>	Apparently there haven't been much patch submitted
2018-05-11 17:14:12	<r054l13>	Ok
2018-05-11 17:14:40	<africanhope>	Or maybe those submitting the patches do not have their usernames added to the tracking configuration: https://github.com/ch3nkula/awmd-stats/blob/master/contributors.json
2018-05-11 17:14:49	<r054l13>	Thank you very much for letting us know this
