This
is
the
show
it's
open
source,
we're
talking
about
contributing
to
git
lab,
which
is
open
core,
and
you
might
not
know
that
and
that's
why
you're
here
you're
like
I
can
contribute
to
gitlab
you're
like
yeah.
We
you
can
do
it.
We
want
you
to
I'm
pj
metz,
I'm
the
education
evangelist
here
at
get
lab
on
the
community
relations
team
with
me,
as
always,
is
oh,
no,
the
point
went
the
wrong
way.
C
Hi,
I'm
fatima
I'm
a
developer
evangelist
at
git
lab
11
years
ago.
I
wasn't
quite
sure
what
the
role
entails,
but
now
I
understand
what
I'm
working
on.
So
I
manage
our
community
platforms
and
do
a
lot
of
engagement
and
kind
of
building
out
some
of
our
community
playbooks
and
rituals
so
excited
to
be
here.
It's
been
a
while
pj
since
we've
been
on
twitch
and
since
we've
talked
about
contribution,
it's
just
so
busy.
So
it's
been.
C
C
A
I
forgot
about
tweeting
this
week
about
the
show
I
even
looking
at
my
account
I'd
be
like
that's
right.
I'm
streaming
thursday,
it's
been
a
while,
I'm
excited
and
like
I
totally
forgot
to
like
tweet
about
it,
and
let
people
know
that
I'm
doing
this,
so
I
tweeted
literally
30
secs
for
went,
live
and
then
I
tweeted.
I
realized.
A
A
A
Yeah
it
I
I
had
to
abandon,
asking
mountain
dew
to
sponsor
me.
Unfortunately,
now
I
just
tweet
about
halloween
horror
nights
and
that's
what
my
my
main
account
bot
does
countdown
by
the
way
for
those
of
you
following
along.
I
think
we're
tomorrow's
gonna
be
two
weeks,
so
we
are
15
days
away
from
halloween
horror
nights.
I
know
that's
why
everyone's
really
here
for
halloween
horror,
night
stuff,
but
no,
this
show
at
its
core.
A
If
you
continue
to
watch
the
show,
we
are
going
to
get
to
a
point
where
fatima
and
I
actually
open
up
and
contribute
to
git
lab,
which
will
be
other
than
the
handbook
stuff
that
we've
done
as
part
of
our
jobs.
It
will
be
our
first
time
contributing
to
get
the
project.
Is
that
true
for
some
or
have
you
actually
done
like
yeah.
C
Yeah
that'll
be
my
first
time
contributing
git
lab.
I
actually
took
a
look
at
it,
so
I'm
building
out
our
community
newsletter.
It's
my
my
camera
is
doing
that
thing
where
it
pretends
that
it
pretends
that
I'm
not
streaming
work
with
me
tamara,
I'm
actually
working
on
our
third
issue
of
the
community
newsletter,
which
is
a
joint
project
between
myself
and
christos.
C
If
everyone
remembers
him
from
the
last
episode
and
part
of
that
is
a
section
on
like
here's,
the
issues
that
are
open
for
contributions
or
as
we
call
it,
the
label
says
accepting
merge
requests
and
you
know
I
was
like
well
really
ambitious.
I
was
like
I'm
gonna
have
a
section,
I'm
gonna
link
to
some
issues,
I'm
not
blurbs
about
what
these
issues
are.
Looking
for,
and
I
opened
a
couple
of
issues
and
I
like
read
through
them-
and
I
was
like
you
know.
C
A
C
A
Literal
smallest
change,
you
can
make
that
gives
you
progress,
so
I
had
to
create
a
new
page
in
our
handbook
and
yes,
jelly
men.
Oh
we're,
muted.
Yes,
it's
been
a
while.
So
jellyman
is
a
very
close
friend
of
mine,
literally
family,
literally
designed
the
cartoons
at
the
beginning
of
the
show,
but
yeah
they're
correct
feels
like
I
haven't
streamed
in
forever.
It's
been
on.
C
A
It
was
1934
was
actually
the
last
time
I
streamed
yeah.
I
remember
big
news
back
in
1934
there
was
some
bad
dude
in
europe
getting
ready
to
do
some
terrible
stuff.
I
was.
I
was
almost
a
history
major
so
like
that
date
sticks
out
for
me
anyway,
we
are
yeah
minimum
viable
change,
so
I
had
to
make
the
whole
new
handbook
page
recently,
because
my
my
team,
which
is
education,
we
realized
that
we
weren't
documenting
very
well
our
our
workflow
for
conferences
that
we
go
to
education,
conferences.
C
A
So
I
was
like:
oh,
I
got
to
make
this
new
thing
and
there
were
sections
I
was
making.
I
was
like
all
right.
I
got
nothing
for
this
section,
so
I
put
the
construction
emoji
and
this
under
construction
once
the
page
is
live.
I'm
like
yup,
that's
the
mvc.
We've
got
the
information
that
we're
ready
to
talk
about
right
now
with
a
note
that
lets
people
know
there's
more
to
come
and
that's
what
minimum.
C
C
A
C
Yeah
nice,
we
just
had
a
beyond
code
episode
on
tuesday,
about,
like
the
importance
of
documentation
and
and
how
having
great
documentation
but
also
having
a
great
process
for
contributing
to
documentation,
empowers
people
to
learn
things.
So,
if
you
have
that
documentation,
it's
really
helpful
and
great.
Then
people
are
more
likely
to
use
your
product
or
use
or
learn
from
what
you're
putting
together
and
so
like
a
tool
for
empowering
people
and,
like
that's,
been
stuck
with
me
like
top
of
mind
this
week,.
A
Honestly,
open
docs
is
one
of
the
best
ways
to
ensure
that
people
use
your
docs
too,
because
if
they
can
read
the
process
and
be
like.
Oh,
this
didn't
work
for
me,
but
you
know
what
did
and
then
submit
a
merge
request
for
it
or
a
pr
like
you
can
do
that.
You
can
edit
docs
and
that
allows
your
community
to
get
really
involved
and
then
guess
what
they
start
talking
to
other
people.
They
start
showing
other
people
how
it
was
and
that's
how
your
community
grows.
C
C
C
C
A
A
A
So
we
just
want
people
to
know
that
we're
still
basically
doing
that
you
can
contribute
and
that
first
episode
way
back
in
1901
when
we
talked
about
how
to
contribute
and
what
it
looks
like.
I
feel
like
this
episode
is
the
one
that
made
the
most
sense
to
do
next,
because
this
is
about
people
who
have
contributed
and
done
so
much
for
gitlab
that
they
are
heroes.
C
C
To
me
like
these
are
people
who
are
so
passionate
about
a
product
that
they
use,
I,
whether
personally
or
whether
at
their
current
role,
but
it's
not
like
out
of
an
obligation
so
like
as
an
evangelist
at
gitlab
like
I
should
make
gitlab
look
good,
that's
a
part
of
my
job
description.
So
if
I
do
that
enthusiastically,
like
a
percentage
of
that
is
in
getting
paid
to
do
that,
but
for
someone.
A
A
Exactly
this
is
a
two-way
street,
of
course
it
benefits
gitlab
to
have
people
working
on
it
and
making
it
better.
But
one
of
the
things
I
try
and
stress
to
students,
when
I'm
talking
to
them
and
to
educators,
is
the
importance
of
getting
them
involved
in
open
source
communities
and
how
much
it
can
benefit
them.
There
are
so
many
people
who
work
for
tech
companies
who
started
out
not
working
for
tech
companies
and
just
getting
involved.
It
builds
skills,
it
builds
community
and
it
builds
connections.
A
It's
a
type
of
networking
you
can
do
and
it's
just
it
really
is
a
win-win
situation
for
everyone.
So
really,
let's,
let's
get
into
this
program,
and
let's
talk
about
what
our
heroes
program
looks
like
and
to
do
that
our
first
guest
that
we're
going
to
bring
on
is
jamie,
rochelle
bam
there
she
is
jamie,
is
our
developer,
evangelist
project
manager
and
she's
on
the
community
relationship.
Did
I
get
the
title
right?
I
pulled
that
out
of
the
top
of
my
head.
B
One
extra
word
and
a
little
yeah
switcheroo
is
going
on
there,
but
yes,
pretty
much.
That's
I
am
evangelist
program
manager.
I
don't
have
the
developer
title
attached
to
my
title.
However,
like
fatima,
I
also
we're
on
the
same
well
we're
all
on
the
same
team
for
community
relations,
but
I
focus
on
community
engagement
more
so
on
the
meetup
program
and
I
do
air
quotes
for
various
reasons
that
might
come
up
in
this
chat
and
also
our
heroes
advocacy
program
not
as
get
lab
heroes.
C
B
I
am
the
person
behind
the
scenes
trying
to
make
sure
that
the
right
workshops
or
right
content
gets
to
the
local
markets
where
folks
are
advocating
for
free.
You
know
just
because
they
enjoy
the
product,
so
I'm
excited
to
dive
in
and
share
more
about
the
heroes
program
and
how
other
folks
can
be
a
part
of
it.
A
Awesome
awesome,
yeah
and
first
off
again
so
excited
to
have
you
here.
This
is
my
second
time
I've
been
on
a
stream
with
jamie
the
first
time
before
I
meet
the
tanuki's
episode,
where
we
learned
all
about
her
past
and
how
she
got
to
where
she
is
previously.
She
was
working
like
organizing
events
and
stuff
for
google
right.
B
Yes,
so
I
was
on
the
devrel
events
team
for
google
cloud
before
I
joined
git
lab,
and
that
was
a
very
interesting
role
because
I
was
focusing
on
kubernetes.
Even
so,
like
you
know
all
things
kubecons
or
meetup,
google,
meetups
and
whatnot,
but
I
was
on
the
event
side.
So
all
the
big
events
and
presents
that
we
had-
I
was
doing
those
as
well
as
the
local
meetups.
So
it
was
a
very
interesting
dynamic
having
to
do
very,
like
small
50
people,
events
and
then
dive
into
like
a
huge
event
like
kubecon.
B
But
I
learned
a
lot
about
the
open
source
community
with
my
first
role
in
tech,
which
is
at
docker.
I
had
no
idea
what
a
container
was
or
any
of
that
language,
and
that
was
about
looking
back.
It
was
almost
five
years
ago
that
I've
been
in
the
open
source
space
and
I'm
still
forever
learning,
because
the
environment
is
forever
changing
right,
but
yeah,
that's
interesting.
Five
years.
A
B
C
A
A
B
Yes,
we
are
a
remote
company,
but
I
have
to
we
have
to
make
sure
that
our
community
always
feels
connected
to
us
in
various
ways
I.e.
You
know
we
have
beyond
code
series.
We
have
the
series
that
y'all
have
started.
That
is
great,
so
we
have
all
these
different
ways
to
make
sure
that
we
connect
in
casual
ways
right.
Everything
sometimes
seems
very
formal,
and
sometimes
that's
not
what
the
wider
community
really
needs
to
like
connect
with
each
of
us,
because
we
all
are
evangelists
right.
B
A
The
idea
of
a
community
that
is
is
advocating
because
they
like
the
product
and
because
they
like
what
it
is,
is
I
feel
like
at
this
point
and
we
joined
git
lab
right
around
the
same
time.
Jamie.
It
feels
like
an
important
part
of
the
get
lab.
Experience
is
that
we
we
know
that
that
community
exists
and
we
want
to
make
sure
they
continue
to
like
us,
and
so
that's
our
whole
team's
deal
and
fatima
you.
C
Yeah
I
used
to
get
asked
by
some
of
the
companies,
like
the
agencies
that
are
in
the
drupal
space
to
be
a
hero
at
some
other
organizations,
but
there
was
always
like
a
conflict
of
interest
because
I'd
be
working
at
a
competitor.
So
a
lot
of
times
like
when
I
joined
my
last
company,
they
were
like.
If
you
hadn't
applied,
we
were.
B
C
So
if
you're,
not
a
maintainer
or
if
you're,
not
like
a
core
team
lead
or
something
like
that,
like
your
activity
can
go
like
this
right,
like
based
on
your
life
like
if
it's
snow
day
for
three
weeks
like
I'll,
do
a
lot
of
contributions.
And
then,
if
the
weather's
nice,
I'm
gonna
go
out
again,
and
so,
when
you
have
programs
like
that,
I
think
it
requires
a
level
of
consistency
in
order
to
continue
to
be
engaged.
And
I
just
wasn't
able
to
get
that
balance
in
my
life
and
so
yeah.
C
C
A
So
wildlife
is
gone
very
close.
We
are
gonna,
keep
talking
about
heroes
and
the
way
I'm
gonna
do
this
is
I'm
actually,
we
have
a
website
for
our
heroes
and
we
put
it
in
the
chat
earlier
now.
It's
on
the
screen
about
document.com,
which
is
our
marketing
website,
slash
community
heroes
and
I'm
gonna
go
ahead,
and
I'm
gonna
share
my
screen
a
little
bit
here.
Oh.
A
B
A
B
B
A
Rough,
I
have
that
happen
all
the
time
I
actually
I
have
some
rain
right
now
too.
So
I
know
jamie
you
and
I
are
in
the
same,
we're
in
the
southeastern
united
states.
It
just
rains
here
in
the
summer.
That's
what
it
does,
and
so,
if
I
drop
out,
y'all
will
be
fine,
but
if
I
come
back
I'll
I'll,
hopefully
be
able
to
come
back,
that'll
be
hilarious.
All
right,
so
we
are
looking
at
the
the
heroes
website.
Jamie
is
that
cool
with
you?
A
B
A
That
shows
up
when
you
hover,
which
is
a
great
way
to
avoid
clicking
on
spam,
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
hover
and
see
what
it's
pointing
to
so
yeah.
This
is
based
on
our
belief
that
everyone
can
contribute
and,
like
I,
I
love
that
that's
one
of
the
first
things
I
ever
heard
at
get
live.
Everyone
can
contribute,
and
I
realize
they
really
mean
it.
You
know,
and
so
in
that
spirit
everyone
can
become
a
gitlab
hero.
So
we
were
talking
about
the
number
of
heroes.
B
So
currently
it
reads
that
it's
106.,
it's
actually
probably
about
82.
I've
done
some
cleaning
of
the
house.
So
to
speak,
where
there
were
some
folks
that
haven't
been
as
active
due
to
the
pandemic
and
just
not
having
the
bandwidth-
and
you
know
just
life
happening-
some
folks
have
stepped
down.
So
we
created
a
gitlab
alumni
group,
so
folks
are
still
able
to
be
connected
to
community.
They
won't
lose.
A
lot
of
people.
B
Add
this
to
their
resume
as,
like
you
know
a
great
attribute,
so
we
didn't
want
to
completely
take
away
that
they
were
a
gitlab
hero,
so
we
are
going
to
be
creating
a
whole
new
tab
and
everything
similar
to
the
core
group
where
it
will
show
that
folks
were
contributing
to
the
program
as
and
now
they're
part
of
the
alumni
group
awesome.
So.
A
This
third
paragraph
is
how
you
can
become
a
hero,
so
there's
a
couple
different
ways.
I
feel
like
when
I
thought
about
it.
I
thought
it
was
like,
so
you
gotta
be
like
a
rails
developer.
You
gotta
like
write
code
and
you
gotta
make
a
lot
of
mrs,
but
it
looks
like
there's
actually
a
couple
of
ways
to
become
a
good
life
hero.
B
Yeah
absolutely
so,
like
you
said,
pj
there's,
our
you
know
are
saying
everyone
can
contribute
which
we
also
stand
behind,
but
when
you
contribute
to
become
a
hero
like
to
qualify,
there's
various
ways
right,
like
you
said
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
write
code.
Some
folks
just
go
and
speak
on
our
behalf
and
do
workshops.
They
don't
necessarily
always
do
an
mr,
but
to
qualify.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
contributing
to
the
gitlab
project.
B
I
tell
them
like
hey
as
soon
as
you
do
a
talk
you
qualify
right
or
as
soon
as
you
decide
to
organize
a
meetup
or
you
know
a
workshop
on
our
behalf
like
come
back
to
us
and
you
know
we'll
re
we'll
reassess
your
application,
but
it's
down
to.
If
you
write
code
and
do
a
lot
of
contributions,
you
become
a
superhero,
so
there's
three
tiers.
B
A
C
B
Trolling,
you
can
kind
of
see
that
a
superhero
is
pretty
intense
and
there's
a
lot
of
superheroes
out
there
who
actually
have
become
part
of
our
core
team,
which
I
don't
work
on
the
core
team.
That's
our
our
friend
christos
who
leads
that
program,
but
those
are
folks
that
are
actively
advocating
and
very
connected
to
what
we
do
here.
I
get
web.
B
And
the
other
thing
that's
really
cool
about
the
program
is
that
we
have
folks
in
place
like
abubakar,
who
helps
lead
like
cfps.
So
folks
are
interested.
You
know
in
wanting
to
do
a
talk
at
a
conference
or
some
things
that
are
coming
up.
We
have
people
embedded
on
our
team
that
help
drive
some
of
these
items.
B
So
if
folks
have
even
just
the
idea
and
want
to
talk
about
something
that
we
just
aren't,
if
they're
just
not
sure
how
to
go
about
it
or
the
tools,
we
have
all
these
different
cool
folks
that
are
in
place
that
are
super
helpful
and
resourceful
to
make
sure
that
we
give
them
what
they
need
to.
You
know
go
for
with
writing
a
blog
and
our
blog
team
is
awesome,
they're
looking
for
content
all
the
time,
so
it's
really
easy
to
kind
of
quarterback
those
things
and
get
them
published
as
well.
A
B
Well,
once
you
become
a
get
lab
hero,
there's
some
pretty
cool
rewards
that
include
like
we
have
an
upcoming
get
lab,
commit
we're
also
going
to
be
hosting
a
heroes
summit.
It's
the
first
ever
and
the
only
thing
with
this
one,
that's
coming
up,
it'll
be
in
london,
so
be
myself
john
and
crystal's
will
be
present.
I
won't
spill
the
beans
quite
yet
on
the
agenda,
but
we
have
some
pretty
cool
things
that
we're
working
on
and
then
we
support
travel
for
certain
events.
They
get
a
gitlab
ultimate
license.
B
There's
some
cool
swag.
So
folks
who
are
listening,
who
are
part
of
the
program
and
have
been
messaging
me?
I
am
in
the
works
of
getting
some
cool
new
stuff
designed,
as
you
see
our
tv,
so
there
will
be
some
cool
things
going
on
that.
I
can't
wait
to
share
with
folks,
so
you
can
get
those
orders
in
and
then
we
have
like
community
hours
and
all
these
different
things
like
I
talked
about
as
far
as
like
different
folks
on
the
team,
assisting
with
different
elements
on
how
people
can
contribute.
A
A
B
So
john
is
the
person
who
actually
created
the
program
from
scratch.
The
gitlab
heroes
program
did
not
exist
until
about.
I
want
to
say
two
and
a
half
years
ago.
So
john
is
the
person
who
spearheaded
and
established
all
the
wonderful
documentation
and
the
handbook
pages
and
all
the
good
stuff
and
getting
the
heroes
program
ramped
up,
I
started
february
of
2021,
so
I
knew
even
through
the
interview
process
that
they
were
looking
for
somebody
to
lead
the
programs.
I
managed,
including
the
herald
program,
meetups
and
other
engagement
elements.
B
So
I
was,
I
would
say,
somewhat
handed
off
because
john
definitely
still
assists
me
with
a
lot
of
different
things,
as
you
can
only
imagine
trying
to
get
to
know,
106
heroes
during
a
pandemic
phase
trying
to
stay
connected
and
all
of
those
things
and
getting
creative
with.
Like
you
know,
the
virtual
meetup
space
is
very.
B
A
B
Yes,
absolutely
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
get
lab,
meetup
organizers
can
also
be,
as
we
saw,
can
also
be
heroes
right.
So
we
have
some
pretty
awesome
organizers
who,
like
we
said
before
they're
volunteering,
their
time
to
create
some
great
events
and
finding
speakers
and
providing
workshops
and
stuff.
So
what
I
try
to
do,
I've
done
it
three
times
so
far
is
create
a
meetup
virtual
meetup.
In
a
box
where
I
provide
from
backgrounds
to
virtual
backgrounds
for
zoom,
I've
provided
content.
B
But
we
recognize
that
right
now
we
got
to
get
a
little
creative
and
so
there'll
be
some
things
we'll
be
able
to
talk
about
soon
about
chrysalis
and
I
partnering
together
and
trying
to
do
some
like
meetup
networking
couple
with
maybe
a
hackathon
or
different
things
of
that
nature,
because
we
recognize
the
climate
of
our
community
is
changing
and
we
got
to
make
sure
that
we're
staying
as
things
are
moving.
We
got
to
stay
connected
with
the
community
and
change
with
them
as
well
right,
so
programs
are
forever
changing,
I'm
sure
fatsuma.
B
You
know
what
that
feels
like
and
pj
as
well
like
as
we're
getting
into
different
zones
and
talking
to
our
audience,
you
know,
there's
always
something
changing.
We
got
to
be
quick
to
the
draw
to
be
creative
and
figure
out
ways
to
get
folks
to
stay
engaged
and
it's
a
global
program
too,
and
then
there's
like
yeah
well,
there's
different
languages
and
my
latin
market
is
one
of
my
most
active
and
I
also
have
a
lot
of
get
lab
and
teammates
that
help
organize
right.
B
So
when
we're
on
meetup
you'll
probably
see
six
or
seven
latin
america,
cities
that
are
cross-promoting,
which
is
really
cool,
and
it's
in
the
spanish
language,
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
promote
right,
like
yes,
we're
get
lab
and
we
have
we
lead
with
english.
We
have
all
these.
You
know
amazing
programs,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
the
program
is
inclusive
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
I
want
to
deliver
that
I
don't
want
people
to
feel.
B
B
A
B
A
Like
a
drum
roll,
welcome
to
florida,
y'all
so
yeah,
all
of
that
stuff
enabling
people
to
do
it
in
their
in
their
own
language
is
such
a
great
opportunity,
and
I
remember
when
you
were
partnering
with
people.
We
have
a
tmrg
team
member
resource
group
at
git,
lab
called
latinx,
and
you
were
partnering
with
people
from
that.
To
make
this
spanish
language
meetup
happen
and
as
a
latino,
I
was
very
happy
to
see
it.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
helping
organize
that
jamie.
B
Oh
yeah
you're
welcome.
I
definitely
my
passion
for
the
programs
that
I
do
manage
is
to
build
diversity
and
inclusion,
efforts
and
goals
in
all
the
programs
and
see
the
expansion
like
the
one
thing,
with
the
heroes
that
I
am.
I
admire
the
passion
that
we
have.
However,
I
want
to
see
more
women.
I
want
to
see
more
people
of
color,
you
know
like,
and
I
know
they
exist
in
our
community
right.
I
just
don't
know
where
they're
hiding
per
se.
B
A
All
right,
oh
jeremy,
thank
you
so
much
for
all
of
this
information.
You're
still
gonna,
be
here,
I'm
not
like
kicking
you
out
or
anything,
but
our
second
guest
is
here
and
I'm
very
excited
for
our
second
guest
and,
like
I
just
realized,
I've
actually
met
all
the
people
that
are
going
to
be
on
this
show
tonight
in
person.
A
A
A
D
B
A
C
A
D
A
D
D
It
was
a
complete
fluke,
a
facebook
ad
that
just
got
me
in,
but
for
one
reason
I
ever
chose
git
lab
might
have
even
been
the
self-hosted
option
that
maybe
won
me
over,
but
we
were
doing
really
basic
version
control,
really
basic
version
control
we
weren't
branching
or
anything
in
subversion.
So
we
we
kind
of
moved
over
to
get
lab
and
we
started
doing
a
bit.
Branching
then
started
to
kind
of
use,
merge,
requests
and
and
started
to
put
some
kind
of
approval
processes
in
place
and
merge
request
templates.
D
But
then,
when
you're
getting
that
little
bit
bigger
it's
you
know,
you
start
not.
Everyone
knows
what
everyone
else
is
doing,
and
people
start
doing
things
in
different
ways.
So
to
try
and
kind
of
keep
that
consistency.
We
we
needed
to
start
putting
these
kind
of
systems
and
processes
and
documentation
all
that
kind
of
thing
in.
A
D
A
C
D
That's
what
there
was
a
bit
of
a
realization,
because
I
hold
my
hands
up.
I
confess
that
I
didn't
appreciate
open
source.
You
know
I
didn't
really
understand.
I
I
think
I've
actually
started
to
when
I
interview
people
to
join
my
company.
I
started
to
ask
them
a
question
about
what
what
do
you
know
about
open
source?
C
D
C
D
Don't
need
to
use
this,
this
kind
of
bolt-on
c-sharp
web
app
that
we've
built
that
talks
to
gitlab
using
the
apis
and
web
hooks.
We
might
be
able
to
do
it
inside
the
tool,
so
I
think
it
yeah
hackathon
was
a
bit
of
a
turning
moment
and
then
you
know
trying
to
find
issues
that
I
understood
and
could
work
on.
Slowly.
That's
all
it's
a
really
natural
way
to
learn
the
product
rather
than
just
being
like
right.
I've
got
this,
I'm
sure
somebody
said
before.
D
A
C
Yeah,
no
sorry,
sorry,
I
had
a
question
about
something
you
were
saying
earlier.
So,
like
you
started
with
a
hackathon
and
you
started
to
find
issues
to
contribute
to
like
when
did
it
change
from
contributing
to
issues
to
becoming
a
hero
like?
What
was
that
like?
How
long
did
that
take
that's
a
good.
D
D
So
you
know,
obviously
that
was
quite
a
few
years
ago,
and
a
lot
has
happened
in
the
last
few
years
to
try
and
kind
of
publicize.
But
you
know,
we've
still
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
to
to
really
kind
of
spread.
The
word
so
yeah.
I
think
it
was
maybe
a
year
or
so
of
continuing
to
contribute,
not
just
in
the
hackathons
but
kind
of
lurking
on
the
the
forums
and
the
gita
channels
and
just
kind
of
trying
to
help
out
where
I
had.
D
You
know
reciprocating,
essentially
where
somebody
had
helped
me
out,
especially
the
get
lab
team.
You
know
every
time
I
pushed
a
merge
request
up
the
feedback
that
I
was
getting.
I
was
able
to
kind
of
say:
oh
you
know
what
I
can
actually
apply,
that
to
what
we're
doing
in
the
workplace.
Like
the
you
know,
certain
things
that
bigger
companies
or,
if
you've
gone
through
certain
transitions
or
education,
maybe
come
naturally,
where
you
go
when
you
find
a
bug,
you
know,
don't
just
fix
the
bug
but
write
a
test
that
test.
D
Then
you
will
ensure
you
don't
reintroduce
that
bug
and
a
regression.
So
there's
so
many
things
that
constantly
the
get
lab
team
were
teaching
me
not
not
because
they
would.
You
know,
deliberately
trying
to
teach
me
stuff
to
take
back
to
the
workplace,
but
because,
in
order
for
me
to
contribute
and
the
quality
of
my
contributions-
and
you
know
the
the
standard
review
process
which
is
applicable
to
any
team
member
or
community
contributor,
that
was
it-
it
was
educational.
So
I.
C
D
I
I
think
that
it's
gonna
be
hard
for
me
to
pick
out,
because
just
contributing
full
stop
get
gets
you
a
lot
of
these
benefits,
but
I
guess
that
amplified
and
the
the
kind
of
invitations
you
start
to
receive
and
there's
there's
also
I'm
sure
some
top
secret
stuff
in
the
works
at
the
moment.
So
I'm
sure
that
somebody
will.
D
D
D
Have
you
got
five
minutes
and
they'll
be
more
than
happy
to
help
out,
and
I
know
the
same
sort
of
thing
would
would
apply.
Definitely
if
there's
graduates
or
people
at
school
or
any
anyone,
that's
kind
of
interested,
then
it
will
just
happen.
Naturally,
you
you
don't
have
to
kind
of
go
crazy,
trying
to
force
it
to
happen.
C
To
people
yeah
the
opposite
of
good
things
would
be
like
what
are
some
of
the
challenges
that
you've
faced
doing.
Some
of
that,
so
it
sounds
like
there
are
a
lot
of
good
things
you
can
get
tapped
for
events.
You
have
access
to
some
of
the
gitlab
team
members,
you're
learning
from
some
of
those
contributions
like
what's
hard
about
being
a
contributor
to
such
a
big
project
like
I
haven't,
contributed
yet
so
I'm
I'm.
D
Think
there's
there's
a
couple
of
couple
of
things
that
come
to
mind.
One
is
that
we
are
all
different
and
we
do
all
have
slightly
different
approaches,
and
I
I
like
to
I
want
to
say
that
you
know
programming
isn't
black
and
white.
There
is
no
right
and
wrong
way
to
do
anything.
So
occasionally
you
know
you'll
get
an
issue
that
looks
like
it's
all
fleshed
out
ready
to
go.
You
spend
some
time
build
it
all
out
test
it
yeah,
it's
great
and
then
you
know.
D
Well
again,
the
the
team
are
really
quick,
but
you
know
I've
had
experiences
where
we've
got
like
seven
approvals.
You
come
to
the
eighth
and
all
of
a
sudden.
It's
like!
Oh
actually,
you
know,
there's
some
challenges
with
the
ux
and
then
you
kind
of
have
to
really
go
back
to
the
drawing
board.
It
doesn't
happen
often
and
there's,
there's
a
huge
effort
to
change
the
way
that
the
labels
are
used
to
to
invite
community
contributors
to
issues.
C
C
D
B
D
D
D
Exactly
and
if
you
were
to
dig
into
the
bot
which
label
so
they
automatically
get
labeled
as
accepting
merge
requests,
you
would
understand
a
bit
more
what
it
means,
because
it
it's
essentially
any
issue
that
isn't
assigned
to
someone
anyone.
So
as
soon
as
something
gets
assigned,
it's
no
longer
accepting
merge
requests,
because
it's
assumed
that
somebody
is
actively
working
on
it
exactly
and
there's
a
few
other
kind
of
labels
like
workflow
planning
breakdown
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
will
prevent
it
from
being
labeled
as
accepting
merge
requests.
D
C
D
A
D
C
C
A
A
A
C
A
A
A
Oh
yeah
lee
said
he
fixed
it,
so
I
just
merged
it
and
it's
fine
there's
a
process
for
it,
and
I
think
what
you
just
said
as
well
about
the
community
contributors
accepting
community
contributions
label
and
the
bot
will
be
like
hey
make
sure
you
have
a
a
plan
in
the
issue
that
you've
included,
that
I
love
that
this
is
the
way
we're
working
with
contributors
that
we're
saying
hey.
We
want.
We
want
you
to
contribute,
but
we're
not
looking
to
just
be
like
yeah
there's
the
issues.
Here's
a
shovel
get
to
work.
C
A
Here's
the
issues
we're
not
only
going
to
make
sure
that
you're
supported
through
this.
We
want
to
make
sure
you
have
everything
you
need
and
that
we
are
giving
you
the
path
so
a
lot
of
people
when
they
think
about
contributing
to
open
source
or
they
think
about
contributing
to
gitlab.
They
go
well,
I'm
not
good
enough
and
it's
like,
but
you
don't
have
to
be
good
enough.
A
You
have
to
be
willing
to
come
and
take
the
steps
that
are
and
now
as
we're
as
we're,
making
changes
to
these
projects
that
the
steps
that
help
you
along
are
there
for
you.
So
even
if
you're
new,
even
if
you're,
not
great
and
even
lee,
you
said
it
yourself,
you're
like
I'm,
not
I
wasn't
the
best
that
you
know.
I
wasn't
the
best
at
view
and
I
wasn't
the
best
at
ruby.
A
D
A
D
D
D
We
don't
need
this
maven
nexus
thing
anymore
and
slowly
kind
of
getting
rid
of
our
systems
and
the
beauty
of
it
was
that
it
wasn't
just
getting
rid
of
these
disconnected
systems
that
we
had
to
maintain
the
servers
and
the
you
know
all
the
other
stuff
that
comes
with
it
so
yeah.
So
we
are
kind
of
moving
everything
across
the
next
one
I
think
was
sharepoint.
So
our
intranet,
we
moved.
D
And
that
again
was
was
it's
like?
Well,
I
don't
like
sharepoint
and
there's
probably
a
few
reasons
like
I,
I
kind
of
know
some
of
them
they're
a
little
bit
tangible,
some
I
don't
really
know
but
then
obviously
working
on
the
gitlab,
docs
and
and
other
bits
and
pieces,
it's
like.
Well,
you
use
nanok
or
whatever
it.
You
know,
basically
gitlab
pages
with
a
static
site
generator,
and
it
means
that
any
docs
changes
editions
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
go
through
the
mr
process
and
it's
like
well
that's
what
I
want.
D
That's
what
I
I
I
want
any
time
we're
making
changes
or
documenting
our
processes
or
whatever
we're
doing.
I
want
it
to
go
for
exactly
the
same
workflow
that
a
code
contribution
goes
through.
You
know
the
team
get
to
review
it
have
their
say
they
can
make
suggestions,
you
know
blah
blah
blah
and
you
can
push
it
gets
merged
into
master,
gets
deployed
automatically
and
there's
that
full
history
there
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
so
we're
getting
close
now,
cicd
was
kind
of
coming
along
sharepoint
maven
nexus.
D
What's
amazing,
the
gitlab
team
always
happy
to
coffee
chat,
you
know
tap
them
up
and
you've
got
ideas
or
whatever
it
might
be,
and
I
said,
look
you
know
in
order
to
migrate
to
move
off
of
this
system,
we
need,
I
I'm
going
to
call
it
a
crm.
I
don't
know
if
that's
quite
the
right
term,
but
we
need
a
way
of
attaching
issues
to
customers
to
companies
and
clients,
and
you
know
doing
the
billing
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
D
D
You
know
you
mentioned
the
the
blog
post,
so
I've
I've
done
two
so
far
and
they
they
do
cover
a
lot
of
this.
This
kind
of
journey
and
I'm
fairly
sure
you
know,
I
will
force
someone's
hand
to.
Let
me
do
a
third
when,
once
I
actually
managed
to
migrate
that
help
desk
off-
and
you
know
that
that
would
be.
D
A
B
D
A
B
I
think
the
takeaway
that
I
would
want
folks
to
walk
away
from
is,
if
you're
already
com
like
advocating
for
gitlab
and
have
been
doing
things
that
I'm
just
not
aware
of
apply
to
the
program
message
me
on
twitter
at
it's.
Miss
me
reach
out
to
us
where
I'm
literally
here
for
the
wider
community
at
gitlab.
So
if
there's
things
that,
I
just
don't
know
exist,
don't
hesitate.
B
Reach
out,
like
I
said,
we're
looking
to
grow
and
diversify
the
heroes
program,
we're
always
looking
for
folks
locally
and
you
know,
host
a
meetup
or
engagement
or
a
hackathon,
or
anything
that
you
could
really
think
of.
There's
so
many
creative
ways
to
connect
with
people.
So
I'm
here
to
chat
always
looking
forward
to
meeting
folks,
coffee,
chats
and
whatnot.
So.
A
A
D
Wasn't
a
time
again
same
again,
it's
just
that
kind
of
that.
You
know
everyone
really
can
contribute,
and
everyone
on
our
side,
because
we're
all
in
this
together
is,
is
there
to
help
I've
been
doing
community
pairing
sessions
every
week
for
the
last
three
months.
Maybe
now-
and
you
know,
anyone's
welcome
to
join
those,
whether
you're
brand
new
and
you
want
to
drive-
and
you
want
us
to
kind
of
help.
D
C
Episode
two:
you
know
it
feels
like
we
cover
so
much
in
these
episodes
like
they're
like
volumes,
not
episodes
but
yeah.
I
know
I'm
looking
forward
to
getting
closer
and
closer
to
like
the
actual
contribution.
Like
my
fingers
are
starting
to
tingle,
and
I
know
I
might
regret
that
when
we're
like
really
into
it.
C
A
This
episode
actually
went
a
long
way
in
alleviating
some
of
my
stress
about
eventually
having
to
contribute,
especially
hearing
how
active
gitlab
is
in
like
in
helping
you
know,
making
sure
that
the
contribution
goes
through
because
they
want
the
contribution
to
go
through.
They
want
it
to
happen.
You
know
and
way
back
when
we
filmed
that
first
episode
in
1849.
C
A
A
I
know
it's
late
over
there
in
the
uk,
I'm
glad
you
were
able
to
have
a
stella
during
this,
because
I
can't
wait
to
have
a
stella
today,
myself,
jamie,
thank
you
as
well
and
jamie
for
dealing
with
the
the
technical
difficulty
of
a
thunderstorm
like
knocking
your
power
out
momentarily
and
coming
back
and
fatima
for
being
the
best
the
best
host
of
all
time.
This
is
amazing.
A
A
Always
nice
right,
we
will
see
you
all
next
time
stay
tuned
to
medicine

my
twitter
account
at
sugarflow.

ticket
is

I
promise
I'll
actually
promote
it
this
time,
but-
and
I
are
actually
gonna
start
working
on
the
process
of
what
contribution
looks
like
next
time,
so
we'll
catch.
You.
