From YouTube: Community Meeting 72

Description

https://github.com/asyncapi/community/issues/355

A

Oh okay, I apologize to everyone. I started screaming without editing the title. So, even though, though you can see now that the live stream is about request reply, it is not.

A

It is actually a community meeting, so just very bear with me. I will quickly edit the title on youtube.

A

And then we can start.

B

In the meantime,.

A

Mate in barbarian, do you want to introduce yourself.

B

um Okay, so it's a.

A

It's a community meeting.

C

Number we've got plenty of those already.

A

So for those that haven't been here for a while, actually uh we in the in the past we had these meetings as sick meetings, but yeah many people were confused, like not. Everyone is involved in cnc and kubernetes, so um sig abbreviation was not really making much sense for folks.

A

So we changed the name to just a community meeting. So it's a community meeting number 72 so just bear with me. I will.

A

I will just add the number.

A

And save okay, so live stream is now called properly.

A

Okay, um so again, sorry folks for uh for title mistake anyway, it's a community meeting for asking api community um it's this morning edition, but it looks like uh for some time we are getting less people during this hour like folks in europe they have probably scrum calls or other agile ceremonies.

A

Americas are asleep, and it's anyway too late already for australia and new zealand and our friends from locations like india for them, it's like 2, four o'clock, a p.m, which is, I think, middle of the also middle of the day. um I know many folks that contribute they have lectures at the same time.

A

So that's why they're not joining so most probably um we will have to do some survey to to check if it's actually making sense to have this uh time different like time change of the meeting, and maybe we should just have it fixed for um 4 p.m, utcs, um as just only at that hour, every two weeks but yeah. Let's see, let's see, maybe it's just a something some special day, maybe somewhere um anyway. uh Let me let me share is a link to the um to the agenda.

A

Okay, so we have three topics. um I mean there's also one comment from the community, but um I see that mache helped that person and eventually there was just a bug in avro parser and it's um and it already resulted in an issue being created.

A

So just a message for people watching the recording like if you're having some like technical issue um with the uh with some tools or asking api, you don't have to wait for public meeting to happen to get help. um We have slack we or and other channels you can interact with us. um So um just for the future.

A

If you have some technical issues, then just don't don't block yourself waiting for the meeting, just let us know on slack and we can help you faster but yeah anyway, machi thanks for for helping um there in the in the agenda meeting so yeah. There are three topics: one um yeah. uh I guess many people already know. um Let me just copy the links on the the first topic is google season of talks so um for those that are not on twitter or on our slack.

A

And do not read updates from alejandra on docs, so the info for you, we completed actually alejandra completed the the hiring process for google season of docs.

A

um We have six people out of 200 over 200 applicants um selected, and so let me name these people, so it's anisat from nigeria, it's florence, florence from kenya, it's karuna from india, nelson from nigeria, pratik from india and uh from south africa. So um uh for me, especially the most important, is uh florence and bratik that I will be mentoring and the the um the other four people will be mentored by alejandra during the whole google season of talks.

A

So in a few months, you're gonna see a lot of amazing new docs in asking api website and also much more improved documentation for the code generator that we have in the project, because I will be mentoring: um two mentees to um yeah, um restructure the um documentation for the asking api generator and also prepare a set of tutorials that guide you how to create a a code, generator template, so yeah many important and cool things in the future.

A

um So if you want to learn more, I just send a link to the tweet where alejandra announced the the finish of the hiring process.

A

A

Any questions from your site.

A

Actually, let's see if there's someone in the in the live chat, maybe.

A

If there is anyone in the live chat,.

A

um Folks, do you see the the live stream on youtube.

A

Oh yeah got it okay. There are no comments in the chat, so we can. um We can continue to the next topic asking the api conference um yeah not much, uh not much progress.

A

um I know that in the discussions in the um community repo, we had some activity from folks about the uh discussing the location of the conference and um I had identified basically two locations um that are good for for the late uh late 2022 like locations that are warm enough to make it pleasant, because there was one suggestion about uk, but I think uk late um 2022, it's it's pretty cold and rainy, um so um there are two locations so far: um barcelona in spain and also canada island, which also belongs to that also belongs to spain.

A

So it looks like we're. Gonna go to one of these locations. The plan for now is um I. I talked to ace one of our contributors if he could like quickly build a website for the conference likes like super basic, just a header, and there would be the three questions like because a few meetings ago, we agreed that we want to do a survey with the community, um because it's already may so most probably, and it's actually not most probably like september- is no longer an option.

A

I think the only option is um october or november for the um in person conference, because um it's that's there's not enough time to um to kick off so um um so there will be one question like people if people prefer september or um october or november, uh if people prefer barcelona or canary island, and the third question will be if you will watch it online or will join us in person.

A

So there will be three questions on the website. Probably a google form embedded and the last uh on the website will be just um subscribe for news about conference. So we even though we're not yet ready really with the conference we already can um yeah get email from people that are interested with news about the conference.

A

So it's gonna be really simple that we like, hopefully we can get get it live even this week, so we can already share with the community um and that's one thing and why we do it this way, because, um um like recently probably community recalls that barbano asked um like community to share opinion about swags and uh she asked first about um people to just look into the some pdf file where people can.

A

Let us know what products they prefer and then um we had a google form to make it much easier for people to just provide feedback, and I think barbara, correct me if I'm wrong, but about pdf. I think we just had two responses when, when you shared just a pdf, I think it was me in a thread and some other person just talking about something about swags, right, yeah and um and uh with the with google form.

A

I think we had 70 something replies uh uh to the forum, so yeah, basically making things easier for people to to share feedback um uh converts into the larger amount of of feedback. So, basically, that's why we want to quickly build just a simple website for the conference that we can easily share and get just three clicks and an email from uh from people.

A

um So that's the uh that's the plan for the conference for this week, and the next thing is that I'd like like um we also discussed if there should be a dedicated meeting, and everything shows that there should be a dedicated meeting for um for conference organization to really uh gather people uh that are just focused on the on the conference and want to help with the conference.

A

So um I want to schedule a ad hoc meeting for next thursday.

A

uh Three three p.m: utc, uh which is, for example, for europe. It's gonna be uh central europe, it's gonna be um 5 p.m, utc, so we will be able to address more people with the meeting and like I hope that we can really form a group of people that are committed to the conference.

A

We will be able to have a list list of tasks and share like who's preparing what so we can really kick off quickly with the organization of the conference.

A

So, to summarize, quickly want to get a website to get feedback from the community on the location, time and presence.

A

And the other one is next time next week, thursday.

A

I want to schedule a meeting, but I'm not gonna schedule it today, because um if somebody will watch the recording uh later on today, um please let me know if you, if you have any issues with thursday, but I mean thursday is good day as any other day, I guess, um but yeah um so far so good. I think I shared everything any questions.

A

Mache, do you have any questions.

B

A

Thank you uh and last but not least, asking api mentorship so um like this is some context like how um actually I'm always saying the same but yeah. Let's make it even quicker this time. So the context for others that watch recording for the first time uh we applied for google's summer of code. We were not accepted, but we saw uh many people interested with contributing as mentees to the project.

A

So we're experimenting this year with our own asking epa mentorship program, it's um and it reached a stage where the deadline for candidates to ask about issues or or volunteer for a given issue.

A

The deadline was this sunday, so my my job now this week is to go through all the ideas um list them in a nice way for technical steering committees. So they have. um I have one week to do it and then then a technical stream committee has like two weeks um to to go through the list and leave a vote for um for 10 projects that they would like to see being sponsored by asking api during the asking api mentorship, because we have 22 ideas from different members of the tech clustering committee.

A

These 10 22 ideas so far I checked 21, have candidates and then out of 21 technical steering committee can select only 10, because we can this this year we can sponsor only 10 mentors, um 10 mentees for the project.

A

So yeah, that's that's the plan for this week to have it um summarized and easy for voting for tc and then tsc will have two weeks time to to do the voting because yeah, it's uh you, can imagine 21 ideas to go through them and make a good good call on which ones should be supported.

A

Yeah it's! um I don't think it's easy task.

A

I mean for me it's easy, because I will just vote for my ideas, but uh not sure about others, so yeah and that's if it comes to asking vpn mentorship.

A

A

um And there's uh the last topic, I didn't put it on the agenda, but uh regarding swags the current update is we we have your answers. We know what should be in the shop.

A

uh There are some tiny details that need to be clarified and again, like next weeks. I think, probably this month because we're in the middle of the of may right, yeah middle of may.

A

So I guess this month uh correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that this month we will be able to like finalize proposal for technical steering committee to make it to take a decision if we should go this direction with this provider this in this way, um and then once the voting is done, I think in june we will see a new swag shop, at least so far right.

A

Yeah, uh we cannot hear you right. Sorry, yes, I will be right: yeah, okay, cool, perfect, um so yeah, um let's finish the meeting earlier and do some job and um thanks a lot for watching the recording and thanks a lot for joining and and matchy.

A

And see you in two weeks or see you next week on thursday for the conference meeting, uh it will be visible on our.

A

Community meetings website, when once it's scheduled, okay, thank you. Let's finish, the call.
