G

C

G

C

Your work right and um so far we've been able to like identify three people we want to like have an interview with, um and we also um we have lost like physical, chats.

G

However, um one of them will not be available so.

C

um The two other persons they'll be coming for chaoscon, so we already like books each space, the private space, where we could have all of those.

G

Charts right so we'll be interviewing them on that day, and you know also with the videographers.

D

On ground to help us capture the moments and.

C

Yes, then um also, we also have been able to come up with like um relevant questions, and we want to be asking as well. We've made.

G

um I think we need to like make an audit to um you.

C

Know finalize which? Because there are lots of questions right, we came up with to finalize, which will be um asking just to also.

G

Save time because it doesn't have to be like a lot of a lot of content of.

C

Video rather so, um another thing is so the next step for us now is to communicate. um Venue to people um to people coming physically to chaos also will be giving them a ticket um to assess the event. uh Another thing is also to set up a we we have already, or rather the person who won't be available physically um will be setting up a virtual meeting with with them to to have the chat and um who are still looking at a suitable date. She gave us two two days, so, let's.

G

See looking at this table date to have that chance and.

C

um Yes, that's that's so far. The all updates from us does anyone.

D

Have any questions.

A

Thank you very much for your blessing. uh Does anyone um have any question like she said.

A

Okay, if you have any questions, please feel free tourism and or type in the comment section.

A

So, in the absence of many questions, uh we're moving to the Second Story idea that um the session on how to use or to introduction session to GitHub co-pilot at skillscon, so yeah I am the one actually hearing that story, and so far we've been able to come up with a way to actually get the interviewees or interview.

A

Yeah take his interviews, all the people who interview the person in English people that will interview for um for this story, so we're looking for people that are like total novices to co-pilot that that means they don't know what copilot is. So we really now perform soon when, after the announcements of prevailing, preferably after the announcement presentation has been announced on, we have a form to get. People that are interested in um are interested in uh coming or volunteering for this interview. So we'll have some questions to ask them they're just going to be telling.

B

A

um We already have a space at um our events, where we would interview them interesting, ask ask them a question: ask them a few questions so like um like we'll, be having two interviews actually, not just one. So we have a pre-interview and we have a post interview.

A

So the print have you ask them what they would think copiloting hello games just like that and after this session will have an interview to just ask some few questions so yeah, that's it and yeah I'm, currently working on the slides, for um if you have any idea, you could just you know, send me a message, so it has like pretty much all on that and lastly, uh the cartoon Building Solutions is catering on the call to give us some updates. Oh yeah, sorry, but if you have any questions, a feel free to ask me.

A

This thing with the chats: okay, hey, welcome back yeah.

C

I'm trying to uh I think you you all like, have your own individual documents as well, um so I'm trying to just get links but and Katrin is not here, but I think that I do want to expand more like thank you and that team.

B

Thank you thanks.

C

C

I can speak for catering, um of course, I'm trying to find the name documents. Okay,.

C

um Check the chat last link license. That's the one for.

C

B

C

For the um the hackathon, the hackathon is going to follow through with the initial Workshop that ifihan is going to do at um chaoscon Africa. So after the participants that the people that participated in the workshop will also participate in this hackathon and external people as well, but they should the audience here is most people that already know how to use copilot words um and then building some example, projects with co-pilots um using Google. So these are some of the ideas that's Plastering and Fatima puts together for the hackathon to happen.

C

Thinking I think the third week of July, just after June, rather just after he has gone Africa, so people will climb um but speeds um building like either either of these things, the landing page for project page. This is open source project, but the idea is that using, if you can scroll down she has this idea about using a particular metric model. Can you scroll down um yeah, um so the the the project metrics that they would track is using I think a speech framework to measure productivity after using co-pilot.

C

So the story idea covers how cobalance helps with productivity. You know just coding on your own can be, can consume more time or copilot you're able to go faster.

C

um So that's that's, what's the that's the revolve around and they would um I think you can scroll down. They will ask this to answer these different questions right on performance activity and efficiency to this towards yesterday will be be about so I think I think yeah. If anybody has any strong for Catherine I can move it to cartoon. If I can't answer it.

F

um Not a question, but can we add this dog to the meeting menu? So it's easy to.

C

Yes, yes, you can I think you can also add the one for ATM as well, um and you can add the one for your.

D

C

B

A

Okay, any more questions.

A

E

A

E

So I know: okay, Catherine is not on the call, so I um I think there was a design requests for the hackathon, so I asked for I know yeah. This person was already making some exploration for that, but I'm also sure that the same issue he had was that no information was provided like some of those extra details. I, don't know if you just mentioned I think I just kind of like lost a video.

E

um Can you hear me.

A

C

I didn't get just distracted for a minute.

E

So please see if you have the information on anyone, does you can share with me on spot? Thank you information.

C

um So something I forgot to see at the start of the meeting. So lately Elizabeth has been doing like a summary of the meeting notes, and so that's why we need to like start taking meeting notes.

C

um So if we can get the volunteer that remembers- or we have talked about today- that can I take the meeting notes. So it helps a bit do a summary. If you can scroll down you see other times where I have done, dignity notes, scroll down scroll down like three meetings so see. If there are some notes like this, just scroll down, you see, there's some other things.

C

So does anybody people would return to you? We have no music.

C

D

Anyone can join me. Anyways you to join before I can.

C

Okay, okay, my person, thank you because it helps Elizabeth so for people that don't also attend the meeting. They get like a summary of what happened right, because some people can't sit back to watch like a one hour recording. So it should be great to have someone.

C

So if you want to join me blessing to help summarize what some you know, it's what we talk about, not summarize what shut down what we talked about and then this bit will summarize it that will be great and things I'll, just jugs it down somewhere to always have like someone that will take notes. I'd start something missing.

C

And it's we need that that book, okay.

E

A

Let's say we're not patriotic, but just we're just tired I, just like oh I'm, tired I'm, tired of um maybe walking. Does it mean you're? Not you don't want to walk, doesn't mean now, just when you're tired, you just need maybe a break or something that's. What I've seen in here.

E

Okay, no, it's always.

A

You know I, don't know it's not yet for um the badging updates so embodying website updates.

C

A

I

Okay, yes, um it's about Enoch I wanted to find out like what is the fastest way to reach Enoch a side slot.

D

E

B

I

And it's I mean almost a week: okay, I'm.

C

C

Okay, I will try to connect I. Have this WhatsApp, so I'll try to connect you with him. It's he's more responsive on WhatsApp. Thank.

H

C

Yeah, so this I can give you many updates, um so so far like this website has got a long way, even though it has been slow rights.

C

um It's it's still been. It's been Progressive.

C

um I know like the websites, the the reposition I'm, trying to get the repository itself. It's it's.

C

Up on the sides, let me find it so if you're a web developer, you can pick up some issues. There.

C

Won't find it trans if anybody is on it, please open it.

C

And to find it my my account, so it's hard to find.

A

C

Don't know on the design Parts can see. Is there anything that you guys are still doing I know you have your hands full this period, yeah.

E

So sorry to interrupt, so um it's actually a whole lot that we need to work on Well for now.

E

I think I'll just say that, since things are more like um we have Chaos on, you know, coming up so I think I'll actually use that that as an excuse right, because um I think a lot of questions have been joining in like uh product designers which was going to have calls because what we have there now. We also have to make adaptive designs for for mobile right so and some of those things we some of the designs that we made haven't really been pushed through the ready for the loop lines.

E

So things are still on that review so best for that I feel like um that. Mobile phase is the online review which he will have to like. We need to fix up for the developers to work on, but for this we have the home page, of course, which these guys are working on a battle speech and um events. Badging page I think all these pages are ready for implementation right and we also have when you click on apply for badge I, don't know if they've implementation for that design is also available.

E

So the the part the design team is working on is the mobile screens for each of the screens. I just mentioned.

C

Working so I think, like like I, said, like the other things that we need to attend to write skills, con Africa and all so we can. We visit this conversation because personally, I do have my hands full.

C

Right so I'm I'm guessing you mean on the on the websites.

E

Yeah yeah yeah.

C

Because I think that the person that just made the commented developer- so you know um I, think- is also on this as well. I think it is not here too so just be patient. They would also respond to you because we are all like hands on deck, on chaos for Africa, so things might get pretty slow, um so yeah, because um okay, so.

E

I'm sure you know the person that's made, the comments drop, the message, I'm, not sure yeah.

C

Because I've seen their commenting.

E

C

E

E

H

Hi Kingsley, you have a very you: have a really nice voice, I love! It.

D

Easily, please thank.

E

D

E

You thank you. Thank you. You're.

F

The only one you're welcome you're welcome.

C

Who is kingsley's accountant since you have an accountant on the charts?

C

C

Okay, um so are there other topics we want to talk about before we move to and please how many people are coming for chaos from Africa here. Let me know for me.

C

E

My flight is booked already so lovely.

H

Side bag s I'm I'm available. Please thank you.

A

Sorry, oh I, don't I do not assume now I denounce my name as if you know I, don't know if you is anymore, I've gone on a new name, please precious I, don't believe you anymore. That's.

C

All trying to come, um let me stop the recording so that I I think I changed the post and it was nice for the recording. So I'll talk about things for another regard.

A

Before before we before, we continue I want this uh I want to ask a question. Actually I've always wanted to ask, but I always forget him and what's happening to the tech writing side.

A

C

Initially, when we started there, they look they're, actually a lot of things, a lot of documentation help. We need, of course, like in majored in chaos like chaos, group right, not chaos Africa, so it's I think there's a lot of there's, no more visibility.

C

Anyone can you also hear me yes, yeah, there's, there's no much visibility into like those parts of like a new document, there's a particular meeting that goes on called, not um what's the name of the meeting, but about documentation like vamping, some of the old documents right. So there's still there's a lot of work like even the the projects that we have like all good. So it's it's about the the possibility.

C

What's what is there to work on this there's? Actually, a lot of things to work on and something I usually recommend is that if you join the larger group meeting that happens on Tuesday, you get to see a lot of things that you would contribute to right. So I, just don't encourage like not just only joining these meetings, but also like General chaos meeting because um during I don't know if you attended the.

C

If you attended the um Twitter space that we did um most of the countries, you know about how how how diverse in terms of disciplines those meetings are like in the chaos generality, like you get to meet people that work in different fields like not just not just um chaos, people there are people from Google that contribute to chaos, people from Microsoft that contribute to give up. You know all these um Partnerships were able to get it's it's from collaborations.

C

It's from connections that I have made in those kind of meetings right so I would encourage everybody to also take part in like big general meeting, because you get to expand meeting people here in case Africa you're, meeting people that are in Nigeria in Uganda, but in that larger meeting you get to meet people that also like outside of Africa in Europe. In the US you get to meet other people, you get to work with them right, so I'll definitely encourage people to um you know, join those meetings.

C

If you want to know where those meetings happen, I will. Let me share my screen in a minute nice to share my screen.

C

um So I just show you how to add it to your calendar. So if you go to care of your community.

D

C

If you just kill the community, if you click on this community here and check calendar for a minute, okay, oh weekly calendar, you can see that.

H

If the largest, then.

C

C

um So you see like yeah, you see the the whole like every meeting that happens, so you can. It happens on these days um around this is this 11 A.M is more time zone. It's like 11 A.M central time. So, if you can do this, this is the weekly meeting, and this is you see every other meeting you're interested in you can always copy to your calendar.

C

I would recommend everybody get to understand chaos only bigger on a bigger level, and people do weekly change it to weekly, because if you don't change it to weekly to only copy that particularly I will introduced. So you get reminded of at least for the meantime.

C

I would recommend that you also attend this particular meeting, because that's the general meeting before you know about the other meetings that happen in chaos, because it helps you understand what is happening in chaos like what is actually about and how you can participate too, because during those meetings like there are action items that happen like okay, we need to do this. We want to do it just um sign up to do it right. So that's um and anti-digested lots from just one question. You asked me if you haven't wrote, hope that helps.

A

Yes, fine, actually I I've always been skipping it, but I think we're gonna attend we're showing 11 am for me. Is it 11.

C

No, no, so it's that's 11 A.M central time. So these websites, which workers are we didn't incorporate like a Google.

D

C

Yeah, so if that's okay, does that help with your question, if you answer, we can stop doing.

B

This yeah he does.

C

Yeah, okay, so yeah about chaoscon Africa.
