A

All right welcome to the geoteam scheduling, call tuesday july 20th and before we get into walking the board, we have a special guest here, who's going to do a 10 15 minute demo for us uh shubham, who is uh our who is one of the google summer of code interns um working on community contributions uh for backup restore uh with two mentors, akriti and uh gabriel, uh as as his mentors, and I think you yeah you're, going to demo uh some stuff that you've been working on so far so I'll turn it over to you and yeah I'll.

A

Let you uh take it from here.

B

Yeah, so I would like to share a short presentation about myself and my past open source experience and.

B

B

So uh my name is- and I am doing google summer of code 2021 at kit lab with god.

B

And my educational background, I am an undergraduate final year student pursuing computer science, engineering based in india, and I am also research history student at thank you, singapore and my open source journey. I started contributing to internet archive uh when I was in second year of my college and then I started to discover more open source projects and got involved with mozilla and contributed a couple of facebook projects also and then started contributing to kit lab and some cloud native projects.

B

uh I I have also been uh gsoc student uh last year under mozilla firefox, where I created a project uh video two web authentication. It was a passwordless system for mozilla firefox accounts where you can log in and register without using any password.

B

It was a full step project and experimental. Still it's under you know, testing.

B

And my journey at kit lab so I started learning ruby and ruby on rails and, as I've been contributing to a lot of open source projects. So I thought about: let's try. You know practice my skills with real world projects, and then I discovered that kit lab also uses rails.

B

So I started learning about rails and we started picking up small issues and then also participated in matlab hackathon and afterwards. uh I also became get lab hero for my open source contributions at kit lab and then I thought of applying to google summer code again this year and just applied, educate, lab and luckily got selected, and I will be working and working with my mentors helping me uh and everything, and so.

A

B

At gitlab I have around 40 requests in which 23 have been worse and regarding the cool summer code tasks, I've been working on couple of issues. The first one was that adding the backup output locks in a json logger file that has been completed and currently I'm working on allowing the field backup to email, the admin, that's working progress and it will be completed soon.

B

And now I'd like to show you the demo of the first task.

B

Yep so now I'll execute the button except break the clap back up.

B

B

B

B

B

The idea was to like earlier we have uh output on just the std out and now we wanted to have a special logo file inside the log.

B

B

B

Yeah, so the backup task is done now we can check another file.

B

Inside the long term tree we have backup json log and we can see we have the stereo output here as well.

B

This will help in developing more.

B

So this was all about me.

C

Cool nice work, that's that'll be really helpful. Yeah, it's like it seems, like maybe a small thing, but um customers will definitely find it extremely helpful. That's awesome thanks.

A

Awesome yeah thanks so much for for the demo and for uh and for presenting a little bit about yourself and we'll we'll post this for others who couldn't make the call um yeah uh were there any other questions uh comments for shubham.

B

uh No, but I would like to say one thing like, as I've been part of many open source projects and organization and gitlab is one of the most friendly and welcoming organization I have been, and I'm lucky to be part of this, and my mentors are super amazing. They are helping me so much.

A

Yeah pretty great well yeah thanks thanks for those kind words and uh and thank you for yeah contributing to to get lab, and thank you a part of this thanks awesome. uh Well, thank you so much and uh yeah, I guess uh hopefully we'll we'll have you back soon for for another demo uh uh as you as you work on your your next task and yeah just think. Thank you again. So much see you later.
