2018-09-14 16:23:42	<tybanash>	Thanks @mukaram
2018-09-14 16:25:49	<mukaram>	What is GCI 2018? I search on google but am lost
2018-09-14 16:26:16	<africanhope>	First let's look at here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T203068
2018-09-14 16:26:39	<africanhope>	GCI stands for Google Code In
2018-09-14 16:28:38	<africanhope>	For now there is a call for volunteer mentors
2018-09-14 16:29:37	<africanhope>	To put that simply, GCI is a programme for young coders
2018-09-14 16:30:07	<africanhope>	But more advanced developers generally help those young coders, they help them by being mentors
2018-09-14 16:31:03	<d3r1ck>	Hello everyone!
2018-09-14 16:31:15	<d3r1ck>	Sorry for the late entry! Security is tight in my part of the country
2018-09-14 16:31:21	<africanhope>	So for now were are searching for volunteer mentors within the Wikimedia developers community. And, As I mentioned earlier, those who will volunteer as Mentors will help young coders with their tasks during Google Code In
2018-09-14 16:31:23	<d3r1ck>	But I can take it from here, thanks africanhope :)
2018-09-14 16:31:39	<africanhope>	d3r1ck: Right on time
2018-09-14 16:31:40	<opentechno>	d3r1ck: Hi, welcome

2018-09-14 17:08:29	<d3r1ck>	We've got a project you can contribute to in order to warm up a little
2018-09-14 17:08:37	<d3r1ck>	maybe africanhope, share with them the stats tool?
2018-09-14 17:08:46	<tybanash>	The technical issue I have is that I tried to clone mediawiki core, did not succeed . What can I do from here?which command should I use please? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/4PIh4Vv1/IMG_7358.JPG
2018-09-14 17:08:50	<d3r1ck>	And how they can add themselves to the contributors.json file for tracking their changes?
2018-09-14 17:09:13	<africanhope>	d3r1ck: lets handle tybanash stuff first and we'll move on if you don't mind
2018-09-14 17:09:29	<africanhope>	(otherwise you plan sounds good d3r1ck)
2018-09-14 17:09:43	<d3r1ck>	tybanash: This tutorial is a life saver: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Tutorial
2018-09-14 17:09:56	<d3r1ck>	Did you try it?
2018-09-14 17:10:02	<d3r1ck>	africanhope: Okay!
2018-09-14 17:10:25	<tybanash>	d3r1ck: that’s what I’ve been using
2018-09-14 17:10:54	<opentechno>	tybanash: You must get the authorization like super user to execute this command
2018-09-14 17:11:38	<opentechno>	tybanash: Use the link that D3rick given you
2018-09-14 17:12:19	<d3r1ck>	tybanash: Seems you don't have write permission to that directory
2018-09-14 17:12:49	<d3r1ck>	So you'll need to make sure you've got the permission to write in that directory so your clone command can work
2018-09-14 17:13:17	<d3r1ck>	If you're on linux, you can use the "chmod" command to make the directory writable
2018-09-14 17:13:36	<tybanash>	Am on windows
2018-09-14 17:14:01	<d3r1ck>	tybanash: Hmmm... You can run some Google searches but this is a starting point: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16376035/fatal-could-not-create-work-tree-dir-kivy
