A

A

uh Of the morning folks, um good morning, hi, everyone welcome to today's community meeting.

A

uh Before we get started, we're gonna wait for a couple of minutes to.

B

A

If anyone is gonna be joining.

A

Hideout good morning, dude how you doing.

A

So Theo is currently watching live on YouTube.

A

A

How you doing good morning morning.

B

um Pretty good you.

A

um Hey Maya.

A

Good morning, Maya.

C

D

A

Hi thanks for joining.

A

Up so we're gonna start, um we only have a few people join live and we have like people watching live, which is awesome uh so without no further Ado.

B

A

Get right into it.

A

So I have a couple of things um on my agenda to discuss, which um includes the sinking conference, um participation in Google summer of code and um mentorship and.

B

A

um Distant API communities, Community member Sports life right, which is what we're working on and also I, feel uh Lucas can also like give us updates on this in kpi use, case percent uh yeah and also we'll catch us. A couple of things.

B

A

The agenda also, which.

B

A

Of share current status on open Collective funds, which is the distribution with contributors and also some updates on swag store. Maybe finally, so I'm gonna get started. So um first thing I want to discuss is the This Is, the kpi participation.

C

A

Google sum of code.

C

A

So initially using kpi got rejected because we apply separately as an organization, so we got rejected and a lot of folks have that confused on saying boo. If he gets rejected I'll come you still participating in Google sum of code right. So the thing is, we are fortunate enough to participate on that Postman so like we did in 2021, so Postman got accepted for groups of code and we were given the opportunity to participate under Postman, which means Postman is the organization out there in the Google summer of good platform.

A

So what we have our projects under Postman organization, which means if you're willing to contribute using kpi period, you can still participate, but you won't be participating like you won't be seeing easy kpi in the Google sum of code lists right. What you'll be seeing is Postman, so you can go to the postman um organization and you would find some of the project. Ideas label, instant, API right. So currently we have like five project ideas on that Postman or we are not sure.

A

Yet if D5 is going to like make it to the final um round of ideas but I'm pretty sure we we're gonna, get some some like even three I guess so yeah. So we are participating in Google sum of code, not assessing kpi but as part of Postman. So just trying to like clear things out and also I do get questions that say: oh if they are participating in Google sum of code. Does that mean there is no recent API mentorship program, so there will be a Singapore mentorship program right.

A

So we are participating in Google sum of code and we are also going still going to always a single bi mentorship program, which means we're gonna get more projects out there. We're gonna get more contributors in to participate.

A

So if you don't, if you didn't get or if you don't get accepted for Google summer of gold, maybe you applied and you didn't get accepted. You are still opportuned to apply to this in gbi mentorship program. Once that starts.

C

A

That's it for folks that understand, maybe the things we are gonna post, this thinking about mentorship program and also uh I get another question from people that say what are my odds of participating in this treatment mentorship program right. So one thing I want to clear: is this right? We are making some adjustments. Like you all know, the last session can be a mentorship program was more of a trial and error thing. But now we have like a couple of things um sorted out so which means there are rules, guidelines and stuff.

A

You would have to like go through in order to understand how this mentorship program works um yeah. So if you also want to stand a higher chance of getting accepted, yeah I'm gonna do a different life gym, which is just about a Singapore mentorship program, so I'll be doing that with um today, I'm going to invite today, so we're going to discuss um um the instant mentorship program.

A

So if you don't know too late to listen new using kpi, Community manager, she's awesome, a great person um and I think the best person for the job, and so we're going to like do the live stream uh talk about this entrepr mentorship program and also, if you, those people that get confused and say, oh, how do I stand a higher chance of getting selected um so I'm going to say this, you stand a higher chance of getting selected if you're already contributing to the community one way or the other right.

A

So that's your seat right, but that doesn't mean you still. You don't have to apply so you have to apply uh but I'm just putting it out there right, actually standing higher chance of getting selected for projects by mentors.

A

If they see you are already contributing to the community one way or the other right, so just putting that out there. So, yes, we are doing a Singapore mentorship program this year. So if you're interested, you should um probably keep an eye out and also feel free to reach out to me on slack I'm Ace, so yeah I'm always willing to help. So that's basically everything about the Google summer of code participation and updates on the AC repair mentorship program right.

A

So the next thing uh I want to discuss is the Eastern kpi, Conference and I really wish to leave was on the call. So she has been doing a lot of movements. Man she's awesome. She hasn't already so many things to make sure the conference goes smoothly and, as you all know, the conference is different, like we are not doing um on online conferences here, so we are doing in person, and it is also a really interesting types of coined by the magical. Workers code is so.

A

Julie's doing an awesome work, but now we also need your life to updates in Quebec conference website um to show people I have a couple of ideas, um some couple of design ideas, but I can't actually put them into designs myself. So I'm gonna need like someone from the community and thank God. We have Maya man uh so Maya. If you're interested I think we can post. You know, work together and come up with some design for the conference website, because I was thinking.

A

We could have something like a map with different printers of different locations. We will be doing the conference. You know just taking out loud here um ah to lose here. Finally, right in time.

A

So I was thinking of having um this mob stylish map on the websites where we also have like pointers or places.

A

I will be or the conference will be happening and you can just easily navigate to see which one is closer to you. You can, you know, probably like calm or something yeah, so yeah that would be awesome. You know.

D

I'm an awesome.

A

Guy, so I have awesome ideas, so if you're willing to like help put this design to life or if you have other opinions, please feel free to like reach out to me um and also, if you want to help implementing whatever design um we eventually come up with um I, don't have to implement it.

A

If there's someone out there um in the community that wants to implement this design feel free to, let me know you know I'm, just gonna be out there helping out, and yes, so that's basically what I want to say about the conference website: hey Italy, how you doing.

D

I'm good, how are you all doing.

A

Pumped I've never been this bombed in the morning, which is.

D

Nice, oh my God.

D

I had a busy morning, I just got in into the house right now, so hey everything, nice.

A

Nice, sorry, sorry about that, uh so I was thinking. Could you could you give us updates on how the instant kpi conference planning is going because from the discussions or threats I'll be following I can say, you're doing an amazing job.

D

Okay, so in terms of the I think API conference, we have um One location, confirmed right in Madrid and the dates are already out. So it's between October, 18 and 19., if I'm not mistaken, and also we have already created um a website. That is the conference website that we will be hosting in open Collective, and then we also have a cpf page that is on sessionized.

D

So when we open the call for speakers, um I'll just shade um on social media to say, hey everyone, you can now submit your cpfs yeah. So far we only have one location confirmed in Madrid, and the date also is on October, 18 and 19..

A

Awesome awesome: this is nice.

B

Yeah I can add that I think we can now officially say that there will be another location, um because I got confirmation yesterday from meant like people that handle the postman office in Bengaluru.

B

um So we have a green light to organize even there uh with personal support. um We just need to pick the best date, I guess if October is occupied by Madrid, then probably September or or November, rather in uh over there in India. So I'll update the GitHub discussion and connectually with the with folks from postmodern.

A

Awesome: okay,.

B

You said I didn't say Bangalore because I thought it's uh its correct name is bangaluru. Isn't it.

A

You're gonna teach the people.

B

But yeah um Bangalore India.

C

Music, maybe the I think you will be in pre-winter season like in September or August. Maybe.

D

C

Slight rainy tube.

D

All right, so what is the best time because I know like if it's summer-ish it would be the best to circumference. So what are the seasons like akshat.

C

I think most probably you have the meetups, mostly in the month of.

B

C

And meetups in the month of December or you can even have in the month of Summers too, but maybe some buses, the season in which people don't likely to you. Have uh it means like in Bangalore it's a very moderate temperature. You can have rain. You can have like slight moderate temperature of 20 to 25 degree celsius, maybe quite summer, for you but yeah like in summers. It's okay, mostly it happens between in October to the Sun.

D

Okay, so October so.

B

You're saying November is not good.

C

B

Good, it's like October to December, oh okay! Then then, let's do November.

D

um Yeah, let's do November.

B

Let's just pick a date that is not uh conflicting, like um I guess, the most people that will come will be from India, so we just need recommendation, which dates we should avoid to not hit some holidays.

B

Oh, my God, then I know I'll, be there I'll.

C

Also be there nice.

A

D

A

C

All the Indian folks can come into doubt. What is the prefer.

D

A

Yeah, um can you share the um link to discussion actually.

D

Okay, give me a sec.

A

Yeah, um so for those who don't know right, so if you have like um a prophet place, you think um the you can, maybe in your country or in your city, where you think I'm missing PPI can have like one of these conferences. uh So so I want you to say this um out loud. um What do you have to do in order to have like nursing, API conference in your city.

B

um Just let us know you want to do it. um There's this like so Tuli will link this discussion um and I think actually. The best answer is really because she's now running the the whole program. Oh.

A

My bad, my bad okay.

D

Okay, you can just let us know um if you want to host a Meetup in your city, just give us the location, the dates and we'll take it from there.

A

Absolutely you would take it like I'm, saying like we have to like handle any responsibility.

D

Yes, the responsibility we will like is the location right and how many people you can accommodate in the venue and it will it be a one day or two day the style of um the Meetup. Would you like, because sometimes some people, like prefer workshops, Some people, prefer talks like for Madrid, for example, it's only talks.

D

um We are not allowing any workshops for security reasons, so those are some of the things that we need um to know before we can say: okay, let's go ahead with this location.

A

Oh awesome, so if you're interested in having one of these kpi conference in your city, um then you should eventually reach out to truly, and then you guys can would know how to like proceed, because I'm also planning to have one in Lagos Nigeria right. So I'm also like reaching out to some companies that might potentially want to like host or sponsor one of these conference and yeah. So if you want to do the same thing feel free to reach out to totally um she's going to be very helpful.

A

uh So that is that on conference, so we need to move on uh yeah. We also have something interesting. We are working on, which is the it's Gippy yeah. So if in case you miss it, we have. We are working on a new community section and I feel we should have the first roll out this week. So this Clash Community, where you can find everything or anything Community related on the website, uh so part of it. We are having.

A

We have a separate page or we are working on a separate page called contributors right so, which is where we gave didn't. They always get back onto videos some Spotlight, so we already have one for technical science community. So we want to have one also for all contributors right.

A

um So Julia and I are cooking, something so nice chefs. So we are cooking. Something and I.

C

A

The aroma so far, so if you so I, think Maya came up with some initial design uh so which I think we'll be following, and if you, if you think you can help in one way or the other um sure feel free, um so truly is doing some data analyst stuff I have no idea so I'm gonna pretend I do so really interesting stuff, so I'm just sharing it out there for update.

A

So if you have any idea on how are you interested in this topic or in the discussion, you want to contribute um so feel free to? Let me know- or you can there's a discussion already.

A

um Let me see if I can share the link, so if you're interested, if you reach out or if you want to like also like help enhance the initial design um yeah, that's that would also like go a long way, so I'm gonna actually discussion on YouTube.

A

um So that is that, on the uh update on what we are cooking so uh before the next thing is actually the Eastern kbi use case, which is something um oh, oh, like interested in so I decided to like add it to my agenda and hoping workers would eventually share some light on where we are so far. What is going on? Oh gosh, like what's going on man.

B

A

Part in his cases, you Gathering some use cases.

B

ah Yeah use cases so use cases, use cases use cases. I'm gonna show you a link with you, basically um so I finally completed working on the pull request.

B

It went out from draft into the review just pasted the link in chat in zoom and YouTube, so we already have a first company that agreed to share the use case. uh The the whole case study um I, can share my screen. Maybe yeah for.

A

Sure, of course,.

A

B

So basically, there will be a new section case studies um on the website, where you will see a like the basic UI, because there's a uh there are it's like first case study so now, of course, basic UI has no filters.

B

Etc um first few use cases uh case studies.

B

It will be just a list of um list of uh logos basically and share the info about the about the given company and then, when you click it, you will see a full, um a full case study like a lot of details about the um in general, how given companies doing even driven architecture and then a dedicated section to async API, but also a lot of um so the the idea I um I I push there is that whenever somebody's Gathering, the the case study from a given company, there's a huge list of questions and there's a lot of questions not just about asking API, but also overall, like how do you do schemas?

B

What schemas do you use? um How do you like who's, even managing the the architecture, how the architecture looks like if you can share some what patterns you're using Etc? So all of this will be here. The idea is that it will be in a structured way with awesome, yaml uh format, um so boom boom boom.

B

Where are you here? No, not this one Jesus uh here. So basically everything we know about the given case study. We write it in a form of a yaml. So basically, of course, we can later on transform it into Json.

B

So in the UI we like this UI long, um this UI long term could have different forms. So it's not just a list of case studies but, for example, we can have one UI because we have structured data, so we, for example, have um let me make it a bit larger.

B

So, for example, there's a section in asking about API, and so even though there's a whole document that is about case study, there's small section about like, um like the summary of the use case for the uh for asking API in general.

B

So, for example, later on, we can have a UI where you, where you say like give me all case, um give me all use cases and you you'll get a UI where, from the a whole bunch of different case studies, you just have a summary of all the use cases that um that companies use async API for or you can, for example, for me or other maintainers of the spec.

B

um In future, we should have more advanced filters where we can say: okay, like there's some in the spec there's some idea to do something with um I, don't know like schemas or whatever investing API document. So we can then also use this case studies as a reference for us to see how people are actually how companies are actually working with schemas. So it can give us idea so so yeah, that's the that's ready for review.

B

uh There's a the UI is super simple now with actually a lot of hard codes which I admit, but it's basically because I liked how it worked with uh with akshat and the and this new tool dashboard that he was working on that like we provide some minimum UI.

B

But then we provide a set of follow-up issues to add some nice, like some good first issues or or more sophisticated issues to to basically basically extend the UI to improve it more to like, um like, for example, the you can see the size of the of the case study. It's pretty large.

B

So it would be super nice to have actually a table of contents on the right, but that that stuff, I I think it's good to delegate it to follow-up issues to leave it for the for the contributors that want to contribute to the project. So yeah. That's the idea of um there's another case study I, already discussed prepared for another company, pretty cool company um from the name perspective like known company.

B

So, let's see, um probably in a few weeks, we get approval to get it published as well and last but not least, the most important is that it's it's like treat this pull request as a kind of framework. So it's not just that uh it's my I don't know like um how do you call it in English sandbox? It's not just hookash sandbox um I'm, just setting a a a framework or on how to get more and more case studies.

B

That's why we that's why there's um for for this, um uh for the xiamel file in the way, how we, how we collect the the case study, uh there's already schema created to validate, oh, is it broken um and then the um the templates? So basically anyone can later on um if you work in a company um that has a lot of customers that use async API and um you can get official case studies from them. That's that's! Definitely, okay!

B

If, uh if your company helps out- and you do the case- study collection as long as it lands here through a pull request and somebody from the company signs it off that it's okay to publish, then please help us to make sure that we have a lot of items in the list.

A

B

Did an amazing job man that for real? Thank you, my UI skills, terrible.

A

Okay, um so that is the update um on how the use cases um stuff is going pretty nice so far, yeah, that is my passion, always.

A

Yes, so um we're gonna move on uh the next thing on the agenda is um summer, forecast is um stuff, so you submitted a couple of stuff on the issue um saying: share current status on open Collective funds, distributions which contributor so I'm gonna share a later discussion.

A

B

Back to you yeah something else, your screen again so I mean the update is like folks. Please basically join the discussion, so the idea is that we like, um like last years, we managed to set up a pretty nice- um let's say async API brand in the community- that we're we're good to uh bringing new contributors to the project uh mentoring them.

B

um um Can you hear me because my screens just swindled.

A

Yeah yeah yeah, you, you sound pretty nice. Okay, you.

B

Can see your screen.

A

B

Screen, oh, it's gone.

A

It's gone, ah you're back.

B

Damn it hey, I have to restart my laptop after the call, because it's like 40 days since the last time I did it.

B

um So the like, um so um what I was talking about yeah yeah, so we we managed to like um as a community, show people that, like were good in mentoring, mentorships in bringing new people to to the project, also uh sure um the money we get from the sponsors through these mentorships but I think this year.

B

We should um put also a lot of effort in um making sure that, like okay, if we manage to bring people to the project to contribute to the project, we also should make sure that they're not always work for free and because they're just good people.

B

um We should find a way also to paint maintainers uh to make sure that the yeah, the um there um basically basically appreciated financially as well for the for the work on the project. So that's the idea of this discussion like coming up with some uh some solution. uh Some some basic rules that we can implement and together with TSC, decide like um how we will um set some budget uh for a given year, how much we can spend on on sponsored uh work.

B

um So if you're, a maintainer or contributor or also have experience with this kind of projects, please have a look. Otherwise, we're just probably reinvent the wheel, although we're probably not going to reinvent the world, because open Collective has experience.

B

And we're looking at them as well how they do stuff so yeah have a look please, um and in a few weeks we'll try to draft some.

B

Some basic experiment for this year sets on budget and see how it goes any questions.

B

B

Oh can I jump to another topic: yeah, okay, cool um boom boom boom. You still can see the screen right, yep.

A

No, no, no I'm saying the blank all right! Oh cool!

A

B

See it yeah okay, um so what you can see is can.

A

B

Little bit, oh yeah sure um so, I'm I'm pretty fresh with the topic, because I had a call. Yesterday with um with a guy from Linux Foundation, um it was a topic related to to trainings.

B

um So I'm gonna write a summary uh somewhere in some discussion uh because we need to take it further. I think so, basically like um just in a in a summary, so Linux Foundation.

B

um They have their platform where they publish trainings, but they also publish trainings on this platform uh edx um and um that would be I think it's. It would be a good e-learning platform where we can have the um the the further trainings about the async API on boarding materials, um because for one reason uh it's under Linux foundation. So even though they will own the content, it's gonna be licensed under um Creative Commons like basically um like apache2 for software, but it's uh for for everything content.

B

So we like the work we will put into these trainings. uh We will be able also to reuse the content on our website.

B

But if we are gonna put it also on um in their catalog of trainings, like we're, gonna have a much much higher reach and the cool stuff is that they have some budget so the um so. It works in this interesting way that we come over to them. We say: okay, we want to create a I, don't know why um first steps with using API training um and they can give us budget like few thousand bucks to create this training.

B

So um it would be interesting to actually have like someone from our side, who's like paid to work on Open Source by some company and then use this budget to actually Mentor someone from the community to work on the content and like we have win-win situations. So um we get exposure with them. We can reuse the content and also we can sponsor someone from the community to work on the content like I, um except of other programs that we're already participating in so um so yeah.

B

Just a really quick update, um I felt pretty excited about the call with um about this topic, um but yeah as I said, I'm gonna put a discussion that just to summarize, um what's up and then let's, let's continue from there.

A

This looks really interesting. Man like I would also love to like uh have a look to see. How um do you plan on starting discussion around this yeah yeah exactly.

B

Because there's uh um there's also there's one company that reached out um uh like because like when we started doing this awesome API on tour and other topics.

B

I I was like reaching out to many companies directly like uh checking out with them and how they would like to support using API in 2023, and one of the companies said like that they would actually be interested in uh in helping us doing uh training materials which is like perfect like if, if we get experts that know how to do trainings Etc and they don't care about uh like placing vendor commercial whatever in the trainings, um they just need some experts from asking API to help with the training.

B

So that's why I started exploring uh the options with Linux Foundation, the licensing stuff, so to make sure that it's um that everything only is owned by using API community. So that's why I started this and yeah? Definitely we I need to put it in the discussion and explore from there how to how to proceed. But the idea from Linux Foundation is that the the first training we do it's by by default for free.

B

um They help us build the content by sponsoring some money. Then we we put it out for free and then after uh several weeks we basically measure.

B

um If, if it's like getting audience people enroll and and complete it, then we can like long-term, think even about paid trainings um paid, trainings um and then get money to open, Collective and then again like sponsor some other stuff in the um in the project.

A

This is really an interesting initiative um when I'm one I'm interested in barcelon, of course, so I'm looking forward to like um seeing the discussion and also like engaging so if you're also interested yeah sure, definitely charge um any question.

D

A

Okay, no question: um so: let's move on to the next um stuff update some swags baby. Yes,.

B

um So um I just show it because um I loved how it looks like um so the the basically the stuff with swagster there are more updates from barbano, um but, like the like, we already know the company we know more or less the costs that we're gonna ask TSC to spend on this wax store. We're just missing one's last item like to have some nice illustration to put on the t-shirts. So it's not just asking API but something much nicer, so people are more eager to buy it.

A

um Something like Thanos.

B

Palm Springs, um no uh um something better, um so we found like actually barbano. She found a a nice artist in um in Portugal that created something for us and I just want to show you.

A

She looks excited, can you see it not yet, anticipating.

B

Can you see it now.

A

Yeah I can see it's.

B

Okay, so you can see examples like of different stickers, um so it's a uh it's obviously asking API.

B

Can you see.

A

Can you see the the.

B

A

Must I'm astonished man, oh yeah,.

B

And you see lots of different different products.

A

B

And some examples like how in different colors is visible on t-shirt, but also on the white stuff.

A

What sorry, no.

B

No, no um so yeah um we're still like figuring bits and pieces. uh If you already have some feedback, let me know.

B

Yeah and that's that's it so like once we have it in place. We have the logo, uh like a logo, not logo, but like we have this illustration like uh purchased, then barbano Shield basically write a a summary discussion for TSC, like with uh all the initial costs that it will take to build up the store, um the initial items that we'll have to buy, because you know there will be um there- will be many different items like for the mentorship for mentors.

B

You know like this old stuff that we were talking about, but there will be also regular swags, but also Ambassador packages. So it's going to be pretty big. uh The budget will be also I. Guess we're gonna, like initial budget, will be um something around twenty thirty thousand dollars, um but um I think it's worth it and I see. Sergio is one of the folks that will buy one already, at least in the YouTube.

B

um So he said, you're answering your question who designed that um um I? Don't remember the name um but check with barbano. So it's some artists from Lisbon uh um I. Think Thiago is the name what I think almost every second Portuguese dude. His name is Thiago. Probably it's like Thomas in Poland.

B

So yeah, that's the that's the last missing piece. um So hopefully, in few weeks we'll get done.

A

This is that this is nice man like I love, the um the design like on the white um Woodies and the bottle like dude. That is, awesome, I'm. Definitely getting one.

B

Yep I'm I'm I already have to buy a few more because my my girls, they already saw it I, want that.

A

Yeah, like it looks, really awesome.

A

C

A

I have forgotten actually I've forgotten our deal. That's that's the boss. Man.

A

What deal did you have? No, we didn't say that.

A

Okay, so that is everything on your gender. Okay, we have um something so on YouTube Dale said: do we need to get permission to use the logos, EG I, believe the Kafka logo is a registered trademark of Apache.

B

Yeah that that part, I'm, I'm still checking um but I'm pretty sure it's it's fine, because, like again, Apache is like Linux Foundation, so, whatever they do um like it's like like with us, we don't care who's using gassing, API uh logo um and also Apache and other foundations. They have pretty similar name as long as it's not used as a um you know like, uh like vandalized logo. Just to put on some product um like, um like I, mean product like a software product from some big company Corporation.

B

If we're not abusing the logo, that um in 95 I'm 95 percent, sure that it's okay.

A

Awesome another question.

A

Okay, I have a question, so the question is uh disease design up for like feedback suggestion something yes.

D

It's just a discussion.

A

To like get few folks like Justina feedback,.

B

uh I, don't think we planned no, of course, um so once we have it find like uh we have this final tunings uh done um between uh tiagome and barbano. So to have this like initial shape, um like the basics like whose logo is actually using DPI and who's, not um then yeah. We want to put it in the discussion that we already had, but we never in the past got much feedback about these different logos and and stuff, um but yeah.

B

um The plan is to at least for a few days, leave it up for for Community to to feedback camp.

A

Awesome awesome, so any other question before we meet um a really nice announcement like um can somebody get you drums.

C

A

Nice, so it gets a message right. um My lovely friend yeah he's the new director of the Sync API or should I say, executive director that sounds more tush like more bossy, like a boss.

A

So he's the new executive director, obviously in kpi so I'm, pretty sure it is the best person for the job like absolutely. He has done amazing amazing work up for the community and I'm pretty sure. Like I I, don't know, I, don't know my that's my base, but I feel Lucas actually pushed the community to where it is now right and I can see he's going to do way way more before he dies, of course, in the future right. So.

A

So uh So you you're the best everybody job, no you've been amazing. You've been you've. You've been like you are even a mentor like you Mentor, so many amazing folks, including me, and you are still mentoring. So many folks in the community right you've got this so I just said: you're not allowed to die anymore.

A

So Iman uh you've been amazing, um I'm, so happy for you and I'm looking forward to seeing more of these like more of these to come because I'm pretty sure you you're an amazing dude man.

B

um Thank you very.

A

Much come in come in, come in from an emotional place right now, man yeah.

B

I can feel it. I can feel it so I prepared, like I, have a few um a few cards with a statement that I would like to read what it is.

C

D

C

D

C

Meet Lucas on the spotlight.

B

um So yeah I mean I plan, actually um I think I. It's needed so I plan that, like once, we finalize measure the requests regarding the change I plan to write some article about like to just to clarify to make sure people are aware that um how what it actually means executive directory in open source project um and what will be my goals but yeah I, think them and I think that Fran nicely explained it in the in the discussion when he put up for voting the change in the executive director role.

B

So the most exciting stuff for me is that I can in my email, I can have a footer where I can put.

A

An executive director because now.

B

When I'm gonna contact some corporations to ask them for money for using API, it's gonna, be like a you know like a like.

A

B

Money key to every door like um at least that's my experience with my.

A

B

I was working in corporation um whenever you had a a like technical writer in the footer. Nobody was replying really, but um but you could see easily that people that had vice president or whatever like director in the footer, it was opening every door so yeah, let's, let's hope it's gonna- be like this, so that yeah the plan is to make using API rich baby. So we can spend as much money as.

A

B

On the community.

A

Nice nice, this is awesome, so I have a question right. So what what does it mean like for the community.

B

uh Not sure yet we're gonna see in few months, um so the um I think it's it's. Basically, uh it I think I'm from my perspective, it's similar to what we did with Community Management right. So me, stepping um back and and giving all the force to to Tuli um I think such changes um not sure. Yet, if it's every year, every two years, every three years, but such changes are needed in such positions because it's like always new person in the role, um have this new energy to bring up some new stuff.

B

Some new ideas that you always keep back because, like you, always know that okay, there's someone else in.

A

B

Position so your ideas, you just keep them in your pocket, so I think the good stuff for the communities that um I'll just um try to push stuff.

B

That I just never thought about pushing them forward that strong, so I think at least I want that in few months it means for the community that we're gonna have much more money in the budget, um because that's what I want to push the most getting um as much money as we can in the open Collective that actually, we can then spend it on on maintenance of the project and making sure that we have more more people working on the project full time.

B

So yeah, that's the that's! What I think it means for the community, because that's what I would like to focus the most on, but um but the thing is that I will of course um make it clear in the article that I want to write and um maybe also open the separate discussion that I'll just ask TSC folks like what they think I should I should do.

B

I should focus what they think is missing and my ambitious plan, but that I should probably not share because I'm not sure if it's doable but I'd like to meet like one-on-one with every single TSC member uh uh on the call to like um yeah talk about using API initiative and how we can improve things so not just throw a discussion.

B

So what I learned basically over the last three years, working in open sources that, like uh writing, discussion, it's needed for transparency, but if really you want to have an opinion of people, you have to approach them directly. So I think um that's needed. That's what I'd like to achieve, but yeah. Let's see.

A

Do you really think you can do that like I, don't see old for that, like yes,.

B

But luckily we have this technology where I don't have to travel. It's just on the call and and shut up.

B

But yeah I'm turning 40 this year by the way like if you're wondering why he's saying that I'm old.

A

Well, this is this is also man I'm, looking forward to what you should do for the community and also I want to use this moment to appreciate you for everything you've done for the community man looking forward to seeing no more exciting stuff come from you and also I, believe also, everyone from the community is looking forward to that and also you'll read it quickly, man, so um so, do you have any question um any question?
