Description

Getting started back up from our summer vacation - the Ortelius Outreach team gets caught up and ready for fall.

A

So this is a the 29th of august and we have a couple of things: that's going to hit us pretty quickly. Come september 1st um we have a uh the october hackathon um from an outreach. We should decide. If we want to do that hackathon we usually do we usually get good response from it. I don't know why we wouldn't um and steve. Is there anything that you have thoughts on in terms of joining the october hackathon hack? What do they call it.

B

Oktoberfest they have not updated anything on the website, yet they usually will do it two weeks beforehand.

B

So middle of september is when we'll be able to get all the information together over the digital ocean.

A

And uh do you want to do that this year.

B

Yes, we can, okay, um it doesn't take. What we have to do is just tag some issues with the right um label and we'll be good to go.

A

Yeah and in terms of getting people more contributors, I think we need to spend a little time. uh Maybe we should just do it one of the the next architecture meetings we have. We just focus on going through the tickets and making sure they're marked good. First requests are good, first good pull request or um you know, label them, so people know which ones are easy to get started on.

A

I've had several people ask me to to to do that. I don't know steve. Is that something you want to just take on, or you want me to try to go through it? It's hard. I think it's hard for me to see what it is too.

B

I will try to go through it um and figure out what we need to do and because I have to go through and take off the old label put on the new label. um I because I'm guessing the way it'll probably need to be tagged as hacktoberfest 2022 in the label.

B

I have to see when they, when they give their rules because they change things slightly from year to year on what you need to um how you need the logistics on the back end to work and then also what will have to happen is the participants will have to go over to digitalocean and register there, so they get counted.

A

B

Once we get the link we'll have to push that link out, so people know where to go and get registered on the digital ocean side and then how they can find the issues. I believe we have a hacktoberfest um like web page that will probably need to be updated.

A

B

Or blog, I can't.

A

B

It's a blogger if it's an actual page.

A

I generally do a blog, oh crud.

A

I just totally screwed up the outreach committee meeting many minutes.

A

I, like I deleted the entire year.

B

I'll just control, z, you're, undo and it'll come back.

A

I thought I was hitting that and I hit the back arrow and it saved it all.

B

Oh, it's, google doc. It's always there yeah. It's got a vision.

C

It's got a version um controller. Surely.

C

You can just flip back to the last version.

A

How do I do that.

C

That's a good question.

A

That's all that's there is, I guess.

B

Okay, so go to edit yeah hit one of those go forward or backward.

B

Probably have to go forward.

D

But you can use the the this where you say it like next to the name upper this says, saving and under that say last edit was a second ago a link where you can check all the historic, oh and uh uh versus.

C

B

C

B

Yeah, it's a big thing that says last edited seconds ago.

A

B

D

C

You just see like it is.

B

Now, what do I do? I.

C

D

B

The previous version.

D

Yeah to the right, I think you can go to the right there. You can open that to see all these changes from today.

A

That's what it looked like before I screwed it up. Yes,.

D

Restart yeah, yes, okay,.

C

Don't worry, yeah I've done it.

B

C

B

We, like google, docs.

C

That's why we have steve.

C

B

Is the one that knew the tricks on that one.

D

Exactly I share a lot of documents, so people are screwing. The document.

C

A

I did I swear well.

B

Don't have anything highlighted in blue.

A

I didn't mean to I: just was trying to type.

C

Is this meeting being recorded.

A

Yes, it is it's very embarrassing too.

A

All right all right.

C

Yeah, that was good.

A

I'm glad I could entertain you all.

C

That was brilliant.

A

A

What's it called like octo.

B

A

A

Will be announced over the course of the next two weeks, tracy will update.

A

Last year's vlog, or this year's links steve and sergey- I'm going to put your name on this too, to take a look at some of this um we'll review existing pull requests to.

B

Issues issues oh.

A

Issues to identify as hacktoberfest 2022. now, along with hacktoberfest, we we have a way for more people to get involved and create pull requests. um Do you know steve if there, if blogs count for uh oktoberfest.

B

A

So um we could, uh we could include during this time um a blog or a blog-a-thon we've done blog-a-thons before, but in the past, when we did them, we were still on the old version of the website.

A

So now that we have it in markdown version, people can actually create their blogs and then submit it as updates to the website and get credit for the hacktoberfest.

B

A

Does uh anybody have an objection or if uh to doing that,.

D

Oh, I think it's totally great, because not everyone has maybe have the opportunity to code something at that on this point. So.

C

D

Need to share and.

C

By the way, hacktoberfest has a k in it.

A

Thank you, that's pretty minor kind of yeah. Well, it still looks weird if it's wrong, but you can count as someone's.

A

A

um I I'll update I'll up to date, the blog-a-thon blog as well.

B

Yeah so the way we manage our issues, all of our issues are in one repository.

B

So even though the website's in a different repository, the issues will be easy to find because they're all centralized and then, when you do your pull request, you can refer to issues in another repository uh in your comment.

A

B

And all that, um when we go through the the approval process and stuff like that, when the pr gets uh merged, we just need we'll make sure that the appropriate tags there to get counted.

A

Okay, so we need poor uh issues marked.

A

uh Blog suggested um blog a-thon topics um and then anything else that we need to get done for that.

B

uh That is just going to be the the uh social side of things pushing out, uh tweets and stuff like that, saying that we're participating.

A

Okay, um we do also have uh kubecon is, is coming up um for north america, and it's in detroit um brad uh has been invite has been invited to speak.

A

At the cdf co-located event.

A

Brad's already brad will be attending so he's already there and kubecon is getting weird. If even if you're a speaker you have to pay to attend, brad is already registered and working with f-a-I hot tea there. He is.

C

But did you say if you're speaking, you have to pay you.

A

C

Yeah, that's kind of weird. Why do you have to pay if you're a speaker but you're speaking.

A

C

What they changed.

A

D

You have to pay the 10, for I.

C

A

D

You have to pay geez.

C

I mean I get it if I have to pay, but not the speaker.

A

I know if you're invited to speak, you still have to pay.

D

Maybe if you want like some, I don't know where to stay or some food, but.

C

Okay: okay, interesting.

A

I think it's weird too.

C

Finances must be that tough yeah.

B

Like yeah and it's not cheap, it's like 1500 or something like that.

A

D

2000., usually you have to pay the people who is going to speak.

A

I know that's why it's like it's the.

C

Other way around normally yeah exactly well, I don't know.

A

And then um you know we have december is always just right around the corner and I'm wondering if we should have to start having a discussion about the format for our visionary summit.

D

Oh yes, yes, I think always I'm being just preparing stuff last week, so it will be great if we take some of the. I don't know like come on before november, at least some focus on on this.

A

Because I'm wondering- and I don't know what you think about this- but it might be fun to have everybody- do their? Do. Presentations live it's harder to do, and we've kind of coached everybody to do them recorded, but maybe live.

C

I must say I prefer it to the recording. I find the recording so hard.

A

And I think that we, I think, if we do them, live and uh make sure they're all 10 minute lightning talks.

C

D

C

D

Buy a new thing, I think the the the the actual uh format is. We are doing well it's time to like move on on something new.

A

Yeah, so we did lightning talks last time, not everybody stuck with the 10 minutes, um but I and that that could be hard if it's uh recorded, uh if it's not recorded to make sure somebody only does 10 minutes, but I I think that we should have if we do it again with 10 lightning talks and we have everybody, do them live so that would mean that we would just have a massive uh zoom meeting.

A

Well, it wouldn't be a massive zoom meeting. We would broadcast over twitch and youtube live. We would have everybody who's presenting and on the um zoom meeting, and we could have everybody attend the zoo meeting. I can. I can publish it as a web webinar and I I think we can have several people on do you know how many people were allowed to have steve at least 50 right.

B

For participants or for um for attendees.

A

B

uh We could have up to a thousand.

A

So yeah we could do we could yeah, we could do so. We could do uh deploy hub webinar account using what is it called stream yard?

A

Twitch youtube live and present it and do it that way.

B

And didn't didn't, did we do? Linkedin live as well.

A

Oh yeah uh yeah, we did.

A

And whose account did we use did we use our account.

B

D

A

Okay, so maybe in the um our next meeting we make this kind of a our priority to discuss. um If you all can think about what new ways to present um and do things, I'm open to any any suggestions and ideas just so we can keep, keep it fresh and keep you know, keep things moving along, as sergio pointed out so I'll just put teamwell make this the number one topic for next meeting.

A

And those kind of cover it- the blogathon, the hacktoberfest and getting somebody to speak at kubecon, which I think we have covered.

B

Yeah, so the cd foundation has um let me drop this in chat kind of like three events, and I think we're only doing.

B

B

Their cdf is going to be have presence in dublin, then kubecon and then another part of kubecon uh looks like the spinnaker summit.

A

Yeah they're doing there's a spinnaker summit, uh that's being paid for by um armory.

D

I'm I'm singing it up for the cubicon on on europe, but I think it's going to be um like uh 2023, like january or february,.

D

I couldn't get into the name.

A

I know we thank goodness for brad he's a cncf ambassador, so he seems to get uh get into those talks. Pretty easy um and fati actually reached out to me and said: is there anybody from ortillius who'd like to do a talk at the co-located event? I was like. I don't know anybody who's going, except for brad and brad definitely is going, and so he he'll be able to at least have a ortillius represent some representation there. um Even though it's at the co-located event, which is fine.

D

How do you mention I I I I did the the me off foreign. I don't have any response, I'm going to ask you rather how much time it's mistake to have a review.

A

And then other outreach I've been doing. I have um reached out to um the u.s department of homeland security. Her name is abby. uh Let me get her name really quick.

C

A

D-E-I-F-T, I'm not quite sure how to spell that, I mean how to say that deft d-e-I-f-t.

A

uh She is the um she works for the person by the name of robert silver who's, the under secretary and she is the manager. Her title is, I thought, I'd put it in here.

A

I don't see a title managing director for strategy and she is working uh closely with the with robert silver in the um dhs's response to open source security issues. I gave her a full demo um she's, not super technical, but I did give her a.

A

uh Let me see senior manager strategy.

A

I did give her a demo and she is going to encourage robert silver to act to to see the demo as well. I've also reached out to um ibm I'm working with a person by the name of jamie, thomas and jeffrey.

A

I think is barrick like that um we did a demo. How many people do you think was on that demo, steve.

B

Maybe a dozen yeah.

A

Had about 12 people on to see ortillius and my ask for them is that for them to become a corporate contributor, so I'm starting to look to see if we can't get corporate contributors and that's the same with vmware, even though they're now part of broadcom, I do have a meeting with their cto to discuss the same thing and that meeting, I think, is this week and I can't think of his name right now and I'll add it.

A

So I'm trying uh we're at a point now with the project that we need to have a court a higher level corporate contributor to to help sponsor it. So I'm going to continue working on doing that level of outreach.

A

B

And then next week, tracy and I are going to be at the ripple- the xrpl they're doing a one-day um trade show in las vegas. So we're gonna be there to.

B

You know go to the sessions and try to get to meet the right people for our project.

A

And not that it matters for the outreach, but the governing board did give us an approval for spending funds to hire a a blockchain architect. uh We were hoping that uh somebody we had talked to previous and uh tony pair is not going to be able to do it. He's got. He says, he's too busy and he's trying to find some somebody else.

A

But if anybody knows someone who is has background in blockchain, um please let us know we need someone to review we'd like to have somebody outside of xrp review the architecture as well as internal to xrp. uh Just so, if there's something that we should know that is related to xrp that maybe they won't tell us.

A

We just have a second second set of uh non-biased eyes on that and take a look at it and maybe do some review on it. So it's not a whole lot of work, but we will. We are looking for somebody to do that.

B

A

Shortly after that, we'll be able to get started on some of the coding, and everybody who is a contributor will be welcome to uh apply for that that work and get started on the project.

B

And then, finally, the our swag um sounds like uh or uh siddharth is gonna get a bunch of it delivered this week and then from there um we'll start sending it out he's going to send some of it here to the states, but where it makes logistical sense, he'll send it uh some of the stuff from his place.

A

And we probably need to get a google form together for people that we can send to people that we know deserve to have one. um So we can get that done.

B

Oh and then there was something about badges um like your first commit badge or something like that. Is that.

A

We created a first commit committer a first. I think we called it. We called it first encounter, uh which is the kind of a first com. First, pull request badge. Basically, um that's.

C

Out there listen connor, that's so good! uh I laughed yes.

B

C

uh We worked before only form and I.

D

Have just informed my google chrome.

A

Oh great, you want to send that to me again now that we have the actual swag actually just just add me to it and then I'll um or and then we can uh collaborate on it.

A

Yes, the badge is there, um it's a not a very interesting looking badge, because I don't have the skills that sergio does to create evil lords.

D

I was trying to watch it too, because I I I saw the the email, but I didn't check the the batch, but I I have it an arrow. Can you help me out.

A

Yeah, let me show you I I don't know why you would need my link because I just took your stuff and I've. I plagiarized it.

A

D

To make, I don't know.

C

D

Can just uh create anything I will. I just want to shake whatever what is like the actual. Oh.

A

There's the badge.

D

A

So I just took, I just took uh your background. I put our logo on it and I wrote first encounter, but you could probably.

D

A

Them you can probably do a much better job of that.

D

Okay, yeah I'm going to try to rebrand with the new stuff, but you need to have like the big alien on the center, because I was thinking like maybe some kind of encounter image. You know like well.

A

It was something I did really fast like within an hour. I got it out and done because uh you know brad was asking for it, so I went ahead and just got that done, but we can update this badge. I think if we update it here, it will up show everywhere.

D

Okay, okay, I'm going okay! I have something on mine. Thank you. Okay,.

C

A

And I think that unless steve is there anything else that you might.

B

Have that's the only thing I could think of.

C

Yeah, I send you the request.

A

Okay, all right I'll work with you on that arvin.

C

A

And then what's going to happen is everybody who is basically in asia? uh Siddharth is going to handle the shipping and then he's shipping us a box, half of it, and I think it's the nylon running shirts. I don't think we got any t-shirts yet, but the nylon running shirts, the everybody else, that'll come from us, so steve and I will uh ship them from here.

A

So that's how that's gonna work.

A

So sasha and sergio you'll be a little bit behind because you're not in asia and it'll it'd, be a lot faster for cert first siddharth to get them out. Then it's going to take a while to get that box to us. I'm.

D

I'm used to it.

B

And sasha since you're in the middle me comes from from siddharth, so we'll just have to see.

C

Yeah, but thank you very much, really you're so cool. I was getting some swagger thanks. It's awesome.

A

C

I really don't mind waiting, that's really cool I like presents. Actually I send myself presents because I actually love the waiting part. That's my favorite part.

B

And not knowing what's in the box, well.

C

It's that excitement of, like oh.

B

C

It coming and then you wait for the call.

D

I'm going to record my unboxing orders unboxing moment yeah.

C

There we go. Oh yes, man, unboxing,.

D

A

C

A

Just a side note um there's a company out of, uh I think they're, I think they're in johannesburg. Now I can't remember where they're at, but it's called bank x.

C

A

Yeah and they have a massive problem- they only have uh 60 microservices and they have a tangled web and they are a big service provider. um I mentioned that you lived in the area, oh thank you.

C

A

You so much I'll connect you uh on linkedin, with some of the folks.

C

Okay, cool thanks, tracy yeah. They could use ortillius to sort out their spaghetti.

A

That's what they're looking at they're looking at deploy hub, they've they're started playing on artelias, but because they're a bank. They want all the security stuff.

C

A

So but they're looking at the play hub, but they started with uh by looking at artillios.

C

Okay, cool thanks yeah, that's great! I don't mind helping them.

A

Yeah, you might just go ping them and go have a beer or something with them or a shanty. Whatever you guys call.

A

Don't it guys have something called a shanty.

C

Yeah, it's a it's. I think it's a shandy. I think.

B

You're talking about.

C

Beer and lemonade.

C

Yeah, no, I don't really drink it, but yes, that's true. We have some weird things like that.

C

It gets weirder. I promise you.

D

C

D

C

It's not so funny, I didn't realize it was like a thing. I don't.

D

Know I really enjoyed the taste of beer so yeah, maybe.

C

D

You're just mixing one chip like kind of heineken with white stuff like that, but.

B

uh Not for a good.

D

Beer, please don't do it with a good beer.

C

Yeah, it's time to pretend.

C

Yes, that's funny.

A
