C

We should have a movie night.

A

E

Fine, maybe because it's so hilarious and very yeah exactly.

A

I, don't like Big Bang Theory like the last size, don't necessary bring material for me or maybe it's because it's old.

um Can you hear me yes, yes,.

F

um I'm from Nigeria, apparently based in Abuja um yeah. This is my first time joining this meeting, but I joined the newcomer, hangout scene I think earlier this month, um but yeah I'm happy to be here. Okay, what do you do? uh I'm a community manager at um a non-profit yeah? It's called the freelance Coalition for developing countries, so yeah.

A

Freelance Coalition for developing countries- that's cool! Yes, do you, people have like an open, Collective I know recently, I have been attending, like maybe we'll have that conversational data. Let me know.

F

A

A

Welcome and meet you here.

B

A

um I, don't think I've met you before. Do you want to say hi.

A

Jude, okay,.

G

A

G

um Please my name is Jude.

A

Okay, where are you joining us from YouTube we've.

G

Been from Ghana.

A

G

A

Ghana: okay, what do you do.

G

Myself to engineer.

A

Okay, that's great how much is also in Ghana.

A

um I see that a lot of kid drama people here, let me just keep going okay.

A

um So today uh our agenda is kind of very short, um so I kind of wanted to use it to kind of catch up on people. What you're working on it might not be chaos related. You know even how you're contributing to chaos.

A

um This kind of feedback would help like connect us together, new different points where we are lying and even how we can help you. So since we don't have like a lot on the agenda, um I decided to like just put this in, and um you know we can take tons or do we want to talk about what we actually have at the agenda for good there, because I feel like that. This conversation might extend so much.

A

So let me just push it down after we talk about um the two items, the two only items we have and then we can now you know kind of catch up on what everyone's working on and how they are contributing to their chaos project.

A

So even though you're new and you know how you want to participate or contribute, okay, so the this topic- Community managers, engagement, I'll, just give it to my blessing, because um if you are on Africa Dash Community managers group, maybe let's not put up a conversation there about English a lot of times like the chaos Africa groups are like very silent.

A

um Only when, like there are meetings and I drop like a reminder.

B

A

Is let me just try to meet the person.

B

A

Okay, maybe the person has already muted so, like this conversation, I brought it up here um so that we can, you know, find ways to engage um the channel and you know do other things even for the community managers that are contributing to or in chaos, Africa how they can engage. So my blessing I don't know if I want to take this and maybe talk more about it, and then we can have like that conversation all right um sure it was um so.

A

The conversation has just been around how we can move the focus group forward right because again, we've been like really chilled for a while.

A

um It's all the focus group I've been like even inactive rights and those difficult we had, and you know thinking of how to like revive some of this Focus Group, which this community doesn't do. It's like one of them.

A

So um I asked the question and the focus group Channel and we had a few persons, contribute right and um pretty much. What we're looking at now is so how to keep the Africa community engaged right and you know so at the moment we have a few ideas around. You know. If the Cadence would be saying weekly daily pretty much, how would you.

B

Want that to um the flow.

A

Of that to go, then what kind of Engagement as well do you want to like push out for people to see, and we we don't have a result. Yes, however, there are suggestions around sharing things around the chaos project itself, right, if there's anything happening within details, projects and stuff people share within the Africa community. For folks to be aware of right um things around open source in general as well right, and um we could also have see, have frequent events workshops right.

A

This could also be in collaboration with the communications Focus Group in South Africa, and that that would be the social media team really like.

B

A

Maybe I have like a Twitter um or rather access. You know just events. Workshops right for folks um through you know, stay up to speed and what is happening within the open source space right.

A

um Obviously, we could Outsource speakers or even bring in members of the community I think the letter would work so that um because because we have we have we have experts between the communities. So it's not going to even make sense for uh for for us to bring in people within this community. So if you are open to volunteer to maybe speak on the topic to uh um focused on rights or even living in.

B

Industry, um you could obviously help them and would have a discussion on that on how to like move forward um all right, I think so far. That's their way. We've been right and um we're also looking at maybe also see you later and um accountability body for African.

A

Folks, this was a projection from current Academy underscore and um all too much between is just checking in on folks. So if you're interested in Community Management- and you like to join this Focus so just head overseas, Africa, slash um or hyphen cm and you'll see the trends, and you can just contribute to that right because after this call now we'll most likely take things forward and we will be seeing updates right. I think I think that even in the general um chaos Africa channel right.

A

So that's where we are on now so, like I said, if you're open to volunteering to speak on any specific topic um topics, you know make sense and you would want people to know about pretty much any knowledge you have. You would like to share around open source um yeah.

A

You could, let me know and um would work around that space. Thank you.

A

Okay, that's great! um Before I, just like open it up to like people to kind of give ideas um on how we can move this forward, something I won't touch. Your note on is um sincerely speaking um a lot of times in the past. We have tried to make the groups active and, and the spice like what we, the major issue or the major problem we encounter. That makes things not go forward. Is that there's really no question to like nobody to or not like move the work forward like lead?

A

The group like, for example, I, would give example from other focus groups like The Design and the devil past focus group like um in design. You know, can't stay, it's kind of you know, leading the work there um in the developers focus group. We got that one active. um You know, after just after the um chaos con that we held in June um Enoch, another incline I've been working together and a lot of people have also been contributing in that regard.

A

So my question to you my blessing is: um are you going to be the one leading that group um and do you need like help with people like what kind of help do you need to also move things forward? There.

F

uh Yeah sure so I think we've actually eventually.

A

Had this conversation before and um I will chat to do that, however, I cannot do it even oh, yes, this! So if you're anyone interested in Community, Management or if you are a committee manager, you can join in to help us. um You know push this forward and what kind of help I would need.

A

um I think that was what made me ask that question right initially on the group So, based on what we have now, and maybe anything We Gather from this call as well. um I could also go back to maybe work on your proper plan and share with everyone. Then.

B

um Would pretty much move from there.

B

A

Yeah great um I think I can go for it. I see your hand is raised.

A

Hello, can you hear me yes, okay,.

E

All right, I was trying to figure out where my mute button is okay, hello, everyone um so I wanted to like. Second, what you have been saying or what you said earlier, that I think we are lagging or maybe the focus groups are not active, because there is a lack of vision for each focus group. So we don't have people like being um leading the group or providing vision for the group providing Direction and so I mean working with Enoch for the developers.

E

Focus group I discovered that and I wanted to suggest that can we um have people who maybe have some um who can commit? We can't say that people have free time.

E

Everybody has one thing or the other that they are doing, but people that who are who have decided that okay I'm going to take this thing upon myself to actually lead the group provide Direction ask for what people are doing so, for instance, now I decided to do that for the for the developers focus group, so I'm working alongside Enoch to say: okay, what's the next thing that we need to do for all the projects we have at hand, let's even identify them. What are they project? What are the needs for?

E

Each of the projects you discover will be needing maintenance for each of the projects that we have, especially the budget website, the badging board and the bot script. We need people in these areas. That can say okay. These are the needs for each of this project. These are the issues we are facing. uh Who is interested in working with us on this issue, and then we now follow people up because I discovered that people take on tasks and they don't deliver on time and it might not be their fault.

E

They have other things they are doing, but if they have this accountability system, which I wasn't so sure of in the first place, because you know it's an open source community and people are volunteering their time. So I needed to be sure that okay, me, following up on people, is it? Is it okay to say? Oh, you said you're going to deliver this thing in the next two weeks. Is this okay? If we can have it in two weeks and then you follow people up I think we'll get results faster than that.

A

Oh yeah, I I, do agree with you, I think, and what just putting that data following up with totally fine like just giving them like a code message and saying: okay, um are you still working on this or do you need help in some regard? Just I think it's the way you positioned or say it. That makes it look. You know polite and also you know like you're, trying to force them to do it.

A

um I know like for other focus groups. I had had a conversation with that was you know for the technical writers, one I'm, seeing how you can probably get a Blog um I know hosting.

A

We can always post on the chaos blog but kind of, like maybe a hash note blog, where we can I've not had that conversation with you he's pretty yet, but where we can like write about open source topics, and then people can pick up topics that they want to write about, because then we do have people that are um checking car writers or you know, writing up extra, have experience with open source um so about moving back into like this manager's discussion.

A

You know something out, at least for a first step right, because I believe in you know little little progress right and, at the end of the day, like it takes time for people to um you, know, get acquainted or something before they even become leaders right so I think it's a very small step or an improvement that I I think I would love to see. Is maybe one one engagement posts every week, just one it can be an article it can be just jumping in and knowing how people are faring right.

A

This is, and this I'm saying this to my blessing and the team that she's going to set up and all that stuff right like even though it's just one post every week, that can just even with an opportunity, share or something that can just engage people like something that keeps the channel just at least once weekly.

A

um Then we can now build up from there and then um maybe assigning different people to okay. You are the one that's going to like post um something this week. Instead of just one person, you know posting every every day, because I think I find a lot of Joy when I see other people. That is not me posting something in the channel because, like it now shows that yes, there are people contributing that people um adding to the work, so you can just share it.

A

Okay, in this month of in this month of September, we have like four people- um maybe maybe for the first two weeks for the second week or like just like that, so we cannot keep building up on that progress. So I don't know if that also makes sense my blessing and then to the rest of the group.

B

A

Okay, so this is something that you can build up in, like future meetings with um the group. Does anybody have like any more um additions to this conversation or questions or things I see? You have a lot of people that have um you know volunteered their interests, so I hope you're taking note of them.

A

Okay, anymore,.

D

Yeah yeah I just want to say something: I.

A

Don't know okay, yeah sure.

D

So um yeah I just want to comment my blessing for her work only for the um but.

B

D

uh What I want to say now, um yeah for the time time frame for projects, I I feel like I, think it's really short. So she mentioned two weeks and I. Remember that the last one that um we like people worked on I didn't get a chance to work on it because, like it was very, very fast and um yeah, maybe if you can spread it out, maybe like um maybe four and four weeks or a month.

D

That would really go a long way to help us, because a lot of people are trying to learn is published their first time or you know so they're trying to take on, and so it may be a bit challenging for them to jump on and get it out. So maybe you can help spread it a bit.

D

I'm not sure if they did, you guys hear me.

H

Hello, yeah yeah. We heard you I.

A

Heard you yeah.

H

A

We did hear you um I, think wood lost connection.

C

Or she's back all right, great.

A

So my favorite- that's all Castle to me.

A

I didn't get what Ahmad said it has not been sorted out of this question been answered.

A

So the question he asked.

F

A

F

A

Maybe give time to to death to work on their attacks right Ahmed. Is that correct.

D

Yeah yeah exactly like it could be a bit longer. So that's I know a lot of people are picking up different attacks very quickly, so it seems like there's nothing left for others to do so.

A

E

Sorry because I want to understand what Hamad is saying he's talking about devs right, yeah,.

G

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, no.

E

Don't assume that the attacks have been taken off? There are a lot of packs that we need people for.

D

Oh really, okay, that sounds like good news. Then.

E

So so I think I think what is missing is that um uh people have not been showing up for meetings actually, and so they don't even know what is going on and if you don't know what is going on, you can't even know how to come in.

D

Because the last times I was trying to join the meeting and I was making asking for how to join, but nobody answers then.

A

Okay yeah, so this is the calendar right, so I'm just going to show this again to people like it's really even for these meetings. A lot of people miss out on it because, like it's not in their calendar and then um you know you miss. If there's no reminder on the channel, you can join the meetings. But if you go to this link and then you click on it, you can see all the meetings that happen in the chaos project like there are a whole lot here, so you just have to either pick.

A

If you want to be so generous with your time and add the full calendar, that's fine! But you if you can just pick out the meetings that are specific to you like, for example, um I know that meeting happens every every Tuesday right.

F

A

It shows up at 4am here, but it's not actually 4 AM. This time zone is in central time. So that's why? So you can just copy to your calendar right, like that's the the dev meetings we can just copy to your calendar in my network, okay and then you always have to click on this repeat weekly, because it will just automatically um add that particular day right. So when you make it to repeat weekly, you can just like save it and then it's you know repeat.

A

Just you know the list of meetings that you have to attend that day right and you know if you're coming so you can easily. You can also change the time zone. It will automatically save as your own, regardless if you change it or don't change it I think so. Let me see Power says something: that's not correct.

A

Escc, it changes its automatical issues or past your time zone. So right, so you know that okay, this meeting is a meeting I have to attend to today everything or calendar. You definitely remember right, even, for example, the chaos Africa one. You can also copy to your calendar same thing, but the the difference with this one is that it it happens bi-weekly, so you have to like, do a custom um and make it repeat every two weeks, just put repeat every two weeks done and then save it right.

A

So that's something that I think everybody should do is that it helps you attend living things that you care about, because during the meetings I think is when a lot of conversations um happen so and also join the dev channel. So yes, so those are that's how I think for everybody too, that wants to add these meetings to their calendar. So that's how you can do that so yeah anymore, I see Isaac Jacob. You raised your hands, I, don't know if your question.

H

Has and not the totality um I was asking I've discussed with the end of before uh and I I miss one of the Tuesday meeting and ever since then, I've not been really following on the website and I I really want to contribute to that, because I write the react for Content, so I wanted to contribute to the part of the developers, Family Guy, so I in the last meeting I had with the adeka and um Emmanuel we're talking about getting the link and what I saw. There's, not it's, not the websites.

H

I don't know so. I was like I'm up, I want to ask who, who exactly is in charge or how do I get access to the Ripple, so I can clone and then get to know what I should work on and all that do.

A

You know the name of the project you're talking about. Is it the event pattern.

H

Website yeah version website.

A

Yeah so I I think that um that that repo is not on that the chaos project is on the pattern, so.

H

A

Let me let me find I'll find the red one shirts with you and I. Think I can also do same and you can always drop a question in um the channel as well to ask in case Enoch is not available, because he also has like a lot of things that he's working on. So sometimes um the response can be slow. So um you know you can always ask on the channel so that other people that have answers to your question can you know, help out as well.

H

All right, so um the other one is about the speaking voluntary to speak, that you talked about. Is it within a chaos or events that are very close or event organized by like chaos,.

A

Do you mean, under this one I think my blessing? Maybe you can speak to that, because that question should be for you.

A

Opportunities like the volunteers, you asked us for speaking: is it just within chaos or for the events? I think that was a question very difficult.

D

A

But I was pretty good. Okay, I was pretty much just saying that I mean if we have anybody. Within.

A

The country that you could reach out to me- and they would um would discuss further on that, um if that makes sense.

B

H

Right, yeah, yeah.

A

H

Reach out to you, thank you.

A

Oh right, um okay, so the next topic on the agenda. Thank you. Everyone for, like your contributions. The conversation and I really hope that things begin to, like you know, improve as we keep going and no pressure actually just take it one step at a time.

A

um So the next um agenda item is the social media strategy. um If you have all noticed, the the social media has been pretty silent. You know, after our chaos, score events and it's called Richie.

A

um She put up like a social media strategy, um worked on the social media strategy for to get the accounts back up like active, um so I wanted to share it with everyone, so that everyone will look at it and also give feedback uh what they think add comments on the documents- and you know even quote, for volunteers, because um then all chat has worked on this. You also need people that can help out with creating content.

A

um You know modifying this strategy to even fit into our audience, and you know a whole lot of things so I've just opened it up. I have seen this before and I've given feedback, so I might not be speaking here.

H

Is it just me or somebody's talking.

A

No nobody's talking, we are looking at the documents, and so, if you have any feedback, you can.

D

Yeah yeah, so for me, I have it you're known to ask about moving through um the budging repo and I I'm, seeing um one of the open issues that's for um implementing 404 page. So the comments there's seem a bit confusing because I'm not sure whether it's been done or it's not Stone. It's at some point.

A

D

H

E

Okay, so I would suggest that you take all of this um questions to the dev channel so that the problem, the appropriate people can reply.

D

Sure sure let me do that does.

A

Anyone have feedback on the social media strategy and would love to also help all the chief finish this up and keeping creating content for it.

A

Okay, thank you Victoria, so I don't know. If all it is on this call yeah everybody.

B

A

A

As well, okay, so I think you have um a couple of volunteers, but anybody feel free to drop comments on these documents. It's like um it's I, think it has edit success or comments assets. So this is something we'll be working on to make the social media more active. We keep getting followers every day, probably yeah.

A

I know we have a spreadsheet for the communications working group and chaos, but it's also like a tab for chaos. Africa I, don't know if Alicia has saying that yet.

A

F

B

A

Think I think that was where she would have the content itself so that we are able to track what we have to be posting, so it will be there, like. The content will be in the spreadsheet. Well,.

H

B

A

B

A

Cool okay, any more towards concerns, ideas.

B

A

um So yeah, um thank you, I think. Let me just write that down people over volunteers.

C

A

Okay, so the last agenda item where everyone's husbands, not fast friends for just 20 minutes left so I, just wanted to kind of know how people are doing what shiny project you're working on and also how you're contributing to chaos and the local conversation. Anybody can just pop up and see what you're working on.

H

Okay, hi everybody.

A

H

Right and so I I, don't even believe by for yes, it's just yesterday and.

H

So I'd say to view this, um he said, take a look as a profile app, uh that's going to.

A

Please do you have a link to it? Is it alive.

H

Yes or no, it's not like okay,.

A

H

Just building it yet so it's not right here so, okay.

B

So what does the profile do.

H

So it allow developers to have um if you want, if you guys, if you are looking for any developer, you can actually actually get their details. Decision rules, their projects and the developer can keep updating as new things happen, so again, mandible what they are working on. Just like you asked they can keep adding now so yeah. So.

A

It's like a platform to find developers. I can easily.

H

A

H

A

Feel free to share it on like this luck, when you know went out- and this is just to let everyone know that, if you're working on something you wrote an article um and now we are kind of limited to share and open source articles on the tweet that are open source related. But if you wrote something or built something or need help with something you can always like post it on the channel they're like a lot of people, you know with different capacities that could help so.

H

Well, I, just I didn't know: I I, just published at Mexico I would have shared it on the.

A

Group yeah, it's yeah, it's until shared as well, it's in the chaos Africa channel. So even though it's not open source related, you can still share it. But if.

F

A

Opens up that we will just cross post it on, like the Twitter page, well feel free to share things that you're working on on the channel. Ask.

F

A

Help but yeah thank you for sharing uh May.

C

A

You have your grace.

B

A

Yes, I have my hands raised and it's just a concept that I've seen in my mind, but well and also had a conversation, was so yesterday, and you know it became fresh again in my memory and I just wanted to know um for people that those no good contribution to open source um I, know I know we could easily just say: oh, maybe they could document their learnings and all that share with people really yeah.

A

um I mean for devs, it's easy right. It's easy for for folks to go and GitHub see their profile and see the many green tips and all- and you could, if you need to tell that this person is active, I mean sometimes there could be some private protests right. But that's just um aside of the points I'm trying to make so I've been thinking. Is there any?

A

We actually still like um get no code contributors involved with, say, GitHub gitlab, and you know it also like helps them get that visibility right, um I, don't know how this is supposed to play out, but it's just something: I've been I'm, not thinking, that's a very good question or even consent, um guess I think yesterday, I was trying to you know, gather my contributions that I've been making this year, um and you know something that maybe I would use to answer.

A

This question is also to tune your own, like sharing whatever you do on your public profile like, for example, if I make it. If I do a talk somewhere or if I'm about to do a talk somewhere, I, usually I post it on my Twitter, sometimes I post on my LinkedIn or even sometimes Instagram right and those are like that's evidence of me doing- that work right and um I've seen people um collate this um evidence and quotes and put on there probably their portfolio their websites.

A

um Even even it's been out there in the public. It also it also against the attraction I tell people that you're working on this or like, for example, you do. A lot of things um in chaos, um coordinates this project. You coordinates that project. You could need this, but are you talking about these things that you do um on your public platform? Because um it's true that for developers there is always like evidence.

A

um But yeah like um for developers there's as like a footprint of their work, right, GitHub and even for non-code contributions, if you're contributing via GitHub. That's if you're you know, maybe changing the markdown file or you're doing something. There's evidence of you making a commit to that repository right.

A

um There's this there's this new project that I found this new tool that I found out open source insights ossinsights.io, you can go there and see you can search up any developer and see what they have contributed so like, for example, on social background right. You can see yeah like C stats of what's that person has contributed to like their Footprints of the work of the different repositories they have.

A

You know contributed to so yes, sometimes even all these contributions, they are mostly non-code contributions right if you're, using guitar PS, but there's also the other side of um tooting your horn or sharing this work you're doing and collating, even in your resume as well right. Even in those interviews like you recently, somebody messaged me from the chaos Community I was like okay, they got this job and you know the the work they were doing here and Chaos really helped them.

A

um You know get that that role to like sharing those things, even in interviews that you participating right, I built this stuff I contributed to the success of this I coordinated this project in this community. These companies were involved right. So that's that's evidence of your work. That's um so I don't know if that helps, and if other people like have like answers to my presence question.

A

It's not you know you don't really like any questions honestly, because what was playing in my head is: oh, maybe push most conversations on on GitHub. That's what's just been in my head. That's understands anyway. Like say, um we want to like create um a content for one of the open source Series where you're looking to start like, although she has done so now, although she could just you know, go on GitHub and you know share those content, ideas right and they could be like you know, a few persons look into it review.

A

Is they drop the comments.

B

A

Of just those conversations happening there, you know to also also um like, like this: whatever insights now, you're, not shared, you know seeing people search for them and be able to see their blueprints I think that's the words you.

B

Know around okay.

A

B

A

Yes, we have, we have a repository for chaos Africa, so it's just always forgetting that that repository is right. So maybe this would be like an action item to all the chick to open, like an issue on that repository right to track this social media strategy work, and even you yourself to open an issue to track this Community Management engagement, conversation and just always um having that.

A

That's uh that everybody that wants to start up a conversation should open up an issue and then people can contribute, because if you look at this, like this thing, I shared you see, there are something there's something about issue comments. That's a valid contribution right. It's it's a type of contribution, commenting on an issue right. So if you see my guys or see that move.

A

Last year and you can get, these are stats that you can get for your CV. You know things that you're doing in projects and all that stuff. So yeah you can check it out, see Shiny. It was last year they released, it's not not Sonia. This is serious.

H

A

The link to the dog yeah.

H

C

A

I know it's serious and interesting: you can check out what you've been doing in open source and it's a very the way they built it's very cool. It's like powered by a particular company.

F

A

Had this conversation.

B

In essence, right.

A

B

A

Anybody want to talk about what they're working on. We just have few more minutes, so one more person and then we wrap up the call yeah.

G

Yeah I want to speak.

A

G

Yeah um I'm working on okay for kids. Let me show you what I'm working out? Okay, so I'm working on one issue for Imagine, but actually.

A

Yeah I said that's cool.

G

Okay, yeah I'll like make um any progress, because um I have a lot of things going on now. Bro I I want to use maybe the weekend to um try to see what I can do and then personally I'm working on I'm trying to build an AI application that summarizes them longer paragraphs.

G

Maybe once like a seven paragraph attitude to summarize to two paragraphs too yeah I'm.

A

Looking at that, it's going to be open source yeah.

G

Sure sure, actually.

A

When it's ready, you can share it on, like the chaos Africa Channel, but that platform will be helping. Is it I using uh this open, AI.

G

um So yeah I'm using two different monitors: I'm using um the AI model from Google latex and I'm, using open, AI, true language, yeah yeah. So.

A

Let's go, um there are people interested in here and definitely sure they can reach out to you, yeah.

G

A

Contribute open source project site.

A

Okay, I'm Catherine, you raise your hand, maybe we'll take your ass and then you can close off the meeting.

C

um Yes, so money is about something else, I've just remembered: um will we eventually have an independent website for chaos Africa, because um I was doing just you know research while working on the co-pilot project, just trying to get information about chaos Africa? But of course it's right now.

C

The website that we are working with is the general chaos project um and the reason why I ask is because now that, as we are continuing to grow, you notice that the project- you know our vision, the kind of pro the kind of work that we are doing is slightly different from the chaos project.

C

um So I don't know if that's something that will eventually have.

A

Yeah, it's it's something that we can eventually have, and maybe the next developer meeting I can join to maybe talk about it, um but I was something I want to do is push out that event badging website before starting another one, so um yeah. So yes, that's something that can definitely happen. I would just have to confirm within this path, but yeah. Okay, that's something that can happen like if you have the first time and can also be a way to engage people to build stuff as well yeah.

A

Thank you for bringing that up. um I think I do want to add the conversation as well.

E

um Actually, no I have a question for Catherine on the co-pilot I just wanted to know what the update is Are. We almost done. What's the progress report.

C

Yes, so we're actually done with all the issues.

C

um The reason I've not yet shared the deployed site is because we are making some slight changes um with Kingsley and um Enoch on some of the sections of the website, but once we are done with that, I'll definitely share the deployed site.

A

Okay, that's cool um looking forward to that and then even just saying that this co-pilot project has been really great and in the coming months, they're going to be like stories that will come out of it and that will read and see all the people that have been working as tirelessly to deliver these different projects with GitHub. Go pilot so excited to see that in the three months so yeah. um Thank you everybody for attending. This was a very productive meeting.

A

Initially I didn't know what to share in this meeting, but we ended up talking about a lot of themes which is really nice and yeah. I, look forward to seeing you all in the next meeting next two weeks and to enjoy the rest of your afternoon evening morning, Wherever You, Are.

B

Bye everyone thank.

C

You bye, bye, everyone.
