A

Hello, welcome to the jenkins advocacy and outreach meeting today is november 19th. We have several people on the call. Yes, it happens in parallel with kubecon, so many contributors are there and we'll try to make it quick.

A

Okay, if you're at cubecon, please visit the continuously foundation booth, you can find a lot of contributors today and we will be happy to discuss any jenkins jenkins x and other acid related matters in the books.

A

Okay, um other news, so we have officially started the gsoc 2021 phase. Yeah jsoc is announced. It's confirmed. There will be some changes to this project which we discussed yesterday at the office hours. But ultimately, if anyone is interested to join us, orcadmin and mentor or student, please contact us. You can find the information on the project's gsoc page as usual.

A

A

Something is wrong with medication yeah, so you can find all the information here and yeah suggest that we later discuss how we actually organize it this year.

A

Okay, so we have a few topics on the agenda. The first item is from alisa about a comment: strip, post.

A

Alisa, would you like to talk about it.

B

um Yeah, so we have been given um three options from commit strip, and these are just ideas on what we want, what we would prefer for them to create a comic about, and all of these are are based on the work from home idea, which I think I had shared this last time that we all felt that it was a good idea.

B

So I'm not going to go over each of the ideas, but I think let me see well idea. Number one was not recommended because it's deploying from from your bed.

A

But by sofa but.

B

Yeah so deploying from home sounds like a good idea that you know you're able to. Of course this is remote work, so um the ability to deploy jenkins from home, um yeah automate everything so well take a look, and then, if you can just add input to within the document- um and let us know which ideas um sounds the most interesting and we'll go off of that, based on everybody's input from there within the document.

A

A

I'll try to take a look, maybe on the weekend.

B

Yeah, that's fine. Thank.

A

A

So anything else regarding comet strip.

B

I think I'm good.

A

Okay, um thank you and yeah for gsoc 2021. What I wanted to discuss is actually what would be the plan this year, because last year we had two organizations participating uh jenkins and the cdf.

C

Yeah yeah, I think um I think this is a good good call. Oh like I think we should probably uh be a unified front if possible um and then um like.

C

I can help coordinate a meeting from all of the community folks um and then we can discuss you know next steps on on applying or who wants to be like the the admin like um tara and- and you were last year um because I think, like from the screwdriver side, it'll probably be the verizon and yahoo folks who will probably help out um but yeah it'd, be it'd, be good for all of us to just apply as the cdf and then have each of the projects represented.

C

I think that was a missed opportunity. Last time.

D

Last one for them going in altogether as part of the cdf, I think that's quite nice.

C

And I think that also like helps with like the payment stuff as well like, I think it um because we have to we end up paying something right to sponsor the projects. So I think that also makes the accounting on our side a lot easier, yeah think about it and let us know.

A

Yeah, so in my case uh yeah, I need to think about it a bit more. Firstly, it really depends on how many projects we target because yeah last year we had six projects for jenkins, one.

C

A

X and if it was in cdf, it could be perceived as imbalance, because jenkins project is considerably bigger than others, and it has a history of g-shock yeah. um We don't need to think about uh how we organize it, maybe how we distribute the slots.

C

Oh, is that do we get a limited amount of of project slots? Yep? Oh got it? Okay! um Oh okay! That's actually a good point. I didn't realize that.

A

Yes, well, it's rather technical problem, because usually google is quite generous when it comes.

D

A

Project slots um and yeah so far, except one year we were able to get all slots. We asked for okay, so yeah.

C

Maybe is that something that we could um have a follow-up discussion with the sock um coordinators as well, um because it well like if, if jenkins ends up having more proposals like I know, screwdriver might not necess. I think last time they had maybe like two people participate.

C

So that's also, they could just be more flexible with us because we do have we're gonna have probably by then six incubating projects or uh five incubating in one graduated project.

C

So um yeah. Let's just ask the question, and they might they might be flexible with us and yeah and if they.

A

C

um And then, depending on how many each of the projects end up having, then we we, we can consider just jenkins applying on its own.

A

For us, it's really an open question right now. We need to see who would be open to be a north admin because martin has stepped down because well he actually wanted to step down last year, but he helped us.

C

Get through the.

A

Year or when we had some turbulence in the resourcing, I'm not sure what marcus plans for the next year and yeah. Basically, it would uh leave us with current me handling organization site unless somebody else steps up.

A

So we will need to decide by by mid-january.

C

Okay, um so should we coordinate a meeting then by like early december to understand which of the projects a want to participate and then um and then we'll then, but on that we can decide like org admins, and then we can also set a deadline of like how many you know if you're gonna submit a project submit it now, so that we can go and have that conversation with google.

D

um I'm quite happy to throw my hat in the ring as an old admin for for jenkins. um I I don't know whether or not jenkins x. We had one student last year and that went really well. It was a great great work that he did, but um I don't know if jenkins x will participate next year, I'll, ask and we'll see, but um I'm happy to help out with the admin in.

A

Regardless, thank you.

C

Yeah and and that's the thing I don't know if if spinnaker is gonna can uh participate, and I don't know if screwdriver is going to uh and then if tacton is either because they're they they're a little bit um less uh organized. I think on the community front for that stuff, sometimes, so that's why I'm also like well, let's, let's just see who wants to participate and then we can have that conversation with google. We can go, ask them yeah. We can leverage tara as well.

A

C

That conversation she might be able to help us pull some strings.

A

Yep, let's uh discuss it uh in the next weeks. So again, uh no immediate decision uh needed, but yeah having a single organization could help uh consolidate things.

C

Okay, so yeah, if we can put it on the agenda for december 3rd and then all forward, I'm going to add a few people to that meeting. Then oleg so like I'll invite the verizon wireless folks and yahoo folks and the and the armory folks and see if they want to participate.

A

Again, I added it to the agenda.

A

Okay, any other topics to discuss today, or should we close earlier and go to kubecon.

B

Oh, like I have one mainly for jackie since um I have her here, but um jackie is jesse cassman still with cdf.

C

Yes, he is, he has a new um email address, so I'll, send that to you, um after after we get off this call, okay, yeah! So sorry about that.

B

No worries, okay, yeah oracle is kind of like oh. What are we going to do? What do you guys want to do so all right now we're good! Thank you. Okay, thanks oleg.

A

Yeah thanks all so we'll see you at the city of blue side.
