A

Okay, baby recorded so hi everyone, it is much fault, so we'd have a regular Google, Code office hours and we're my introduction was almost the same as before so quite regular, and here today we will discuss few topics, mostly from the common agenda.

A

Having crunchy so discussed, automation, items, project, idea, status and then have questions and answers the we don't have. That means from the call so marquee connected journey I believe that katakana and John as well, because she attends.

A

We just track me on the corner: worlds: have several mountains and students? Okay, let's place it business. So not everybody is involved in the discussion, but is my screen visible?

A

Ok, so last week we have a discussion about the changes and contains delivery foundation, because there were two organizations which reference Jenkins's project. So we are going to have a meeting tomorrow to discuss it and so.

A

B

A

From someone oh, oh I, see, I I saw it's normal, but.

A

Ok, so if you want to participate.

A

We share a page and meetings.

A

So, but it's mostly for orchids but interesting mental cells are welcome to participate, especially if you're interested in internet ability in other project, because there will be projects for other members like tiptoe on spinnaker, maybe screwdriver. Maybe there will be some intrepid ability projects, including Jenkins, let's see, but the meeting is open. Another thing which worth mentioning that you means that condom on projects in cups.

A

So last week we had at least three Simcox one for custom Jenkins about service project penny another one for electronic design, information that was also sent up for machine learning and if you as a student, need to get more information, please ask your mentors to schedule such as income, as we discussed last time it's on the month, so we do not schedule them by default, but if it helps we can do that.

A

C

A

Next new mentor rate reduction: do we have any new mentors from the poll Maud Mike? Did you introduce yourself last time?

A

Maybe which means okay? So maybe not so if you could introduce yourself briefly, it will be appreciated.

D

This Mike's, really working cloud means be the first time I've participated in Miss America software development design for most of my life and I'm looking forward to I, enjoy mentoring, people and so I'm. Looking forward to participating and mentoring, I tried to do it last year and I just didn't have the time. So this year, I've made it a priority.

D

You can find get out of it might see, really get her at the same same ID.

A

Thank you, yeah Mike Tibbets Jenkins projects now example: petitions Jeff, which was merged just couple of weeks ago. If new projects are able to join, discover and secure that he.

A

Okay, let's move on connection items so last week we had a discussion about how we could promote google Summer of Code and again, like we discussed last time that is H night on Iran, promote google Summer of Code, so whether it's jenkins, google Summer of Code or just Google's a lot of code in general is debate because we need to be in visibility and the again we also depend on manuals because, as orchid mean, we have limited capacity. We also already have some discussions like funding payments.

A

Some cases we handle in the background, which are not visible by the team for the team, so any promotion you could do would be much appreciated.

A

The sort of specific topics we discussed I have an action item to publish a blog post, it's a bit of a review but I hope to get it and to it and that results and German thrown on Jake's IO, which I would like to publish. So since we have mark wait on the call today mark what do you think about putting a Jumbotron they're so similar to other topics? We have I like that. A lot I think we should absolutely yep.

A

So the a Jumbotron would mostly target students and mentors are now it's much force. So we don't actively seek project IDs right now. We would still accept project ideas, you've prepared and submitted, but we mostly seek students and mentors possible.

E

So are you envisioning or like that we will do two pages on the jumbotron one for mentors and one for students I think it would be a single page yeah. It would be.

A

A single page, okay: well, it's an overkill and I'll finally kill that one, because yeah edit temporary image and well nothing more permanent is temporary. So it's time to remove it and yep speaking of it. If you have something to put on the jumbotron, please do so because, right now, it's a bit obsolete, so, okay and regarding the rest mailing list, we didn't on sponte in all memories, you've got some followers but again raised with abilities rather subject for project meetings, etc. If you participate in regular changes, meetings.

A

So there are also things like going to new University is locally so coming in case. If you have ones it depends on your capacity and on your interest.

A

Yeah one topic about that is about online Meetup. So would you like to do one from them in a week.

C

What p.m. user I have.

E

I have I have a proposed meetup for next Wednesday to talk to the developer team, to developers about spot spot bugs and fine set bugs would be happy to host an additional G sock. Meetup just would like to avoid colliding with that when it hasn't been published officially yet, but I'd like to get it published today after the review is done. Okay,.

A

That's fine, so yeah, let's cut in it all the time, but we can do it on Thursday or Friday next week, then so, but basically think that maybe with some slight legs, let's see.

A

Ok, that is a lot of minor things. Yeah. Let's just go to project ideas.

A

So our project egg is very basic in the same status as before. We means to have a bunch of projects in the draft state. I have an action item, maybe some of them, for example, traumatic, specification and generator and reference the administration generator I started: writing QuickStart guide lines. This topic blocks them, but I haven't finished today, so I will try to do it. Tomorrow, code coverage hit Barry and the jinkies remoting way to be seen.

A

And the last one is Jenni's pipe and Eskimo Tendai called the current developer mailing list if it is going to stay in bed draft. So that is a contributor on the project. So we need to do some alignment there. So it's definitely not going to the accepted state right now, but it shouldn't block anyone who is interested in this area from applying and from reviewing that, because there is aquatic development, east.

A

In the city with project ideas and I think we can just move to questions and answers and there is not so many questions we can just go to the meeting. Color.

A

F

Yeah with respect to the get up, checks, API, I, guess, I guess: I I wanted some sort of. Could we have some sort of a project manager sing up I, guess that would that would be cool for the get up check, CP, I, guess, I I put in develop a mailing list and I guess one more student was interested. I mean he was contributing the github API so yeah. If we could have a think up for that, I.

A

Will just take this section: I can.

A

E

Guess I guess I have a quarter launch. There is not so much a question. I'm gonna be gone for the next four days on business travel. If there are questions related to get plug-in project ideas, I would welcome feedback from others or help from others while I'm travelling it's. This is not me asking for asking a question per se. Just noting that I'm I'm unavailable somewhat for the next four or five days for business travel.

A

That's perfectly fine and we hope you.

A

E

For your audio quality is quite poor, all again suggested. You should type your question so that we can hear.

A

What mark you travel on, tell them great.

E

So I travel, I fly home, late, Sunday night and I'll, be then offline, probably available, Monday and Tuesday of next week, so I'll be traveling through I'll be available you in the night. Yes,.

A

So the question is about dimension specification generated using draft right.

A

G

A

So your question is ready autonomy automatic specification. Generator project is going to continue so then I'll say easy. Yes, it will continue. So the only reason why it's in the draft state because I haven't finished their quick started item? Yes, yes, okay! So it's a minor thing, but the overall description way is good and since we discussed it a lot in and get our charts.

G

The doubts are like so I have gone through the some of the API is provided in the links in the docs chat, so I have found how to go through the links and how to go through a code and how to get the annotations in Java. There is an option in reflection that getting a annotated class of specific type like a fig you chose to type or gate type, will get annotated class exactly hmm or the method specifically so I can parse. It is this the correct way to do that.

A

Well, in Jenkins we usually use another library called sis pose. So JC is one effective James go together, but is a notation processor which mean: why did we use inside that the Jing is called? So if you need to process annotations, if you want to fetch them, it would be the project.

A

Okay, it's embedded into the Jenkins core. So it's a label at all volumes out of the box.

G

This will exactly do it will fetch the API calls.

A

No, it won't it can fetch annotations, etc.

G

Everything is automated already.

A

Connotations needs.

G

Some reflection, a reflection of Java, so in that I got a method like get a not take a type call from which we can specify post or class well.

A

You can try that the problem is they approach it that if you use raw Java reflection, API, you want to occasion and other things, so Cisco's improves performance significantly for such common operations because was designed for watching kisses kisses. So my recommendation is to use that or consider using wet.

G

I, don't know about this right, so I'm asking so I'm will continue on this and I will read this code and I will understand, and one more thing is like: if I go to the proposal thing, should we plan the sessions of the eight weeks or will you play? Will you plan for the work? What the hook.

A

Well, we could have to organize one so I'm, not sure Christian. Would you have some availability this week or maybe next week.

A

So maybe Kristen if you could send either a developer. My name is the discussion about this project. Okay, so yeah. If you could.

A

Yeah do my best to change I.

H

C

H

For the mentals, yes, so if I want to show prototype code in a proposal, what would be the best way? Would it be through a PR pull request or screenshots for that code or pull requests button.

A

H

A

Yeah yeah great and the junkies community. If you want to show what prototype you can do that in github, there is a feature: draft pull request. So if you want to submit a proof-of-concept or whatever you should consider ready for review, you can submit the draft for the quest I'm, not sure what I'm doing, but.

A

I'm even less sure what I'm doing, but they will definitely request but will request option. Okay, I'll! Try that okay! Thank you! So yeah. If you write code to don't spend time on converting to other format, it's fine applications.

A

Okay, any other questions.

A

If not, I have a question to you and so I erased the question and get a chat about having officer was in a regional, specific region, so something like 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. UTC. My question to participants is whether you would find it useful and whether you would be interested identities sessions.

A

Because here sometimes it's not convenient for people to attempt on the evening.

A

They study, but if you want to have something earlier, I'm ready to do that, but I will be speaking.

A

A

Would anyone be interested.

D

Probably not probably not me.

B

A

B

Think for me it's, but it's irrelevant I mean mostly in Europe or in Moscow. So maybe other guys.

A

So we are just for your information. I keep this option open I will probably send it to the JSOC mailing list. But what can I say these meetings on the father? Is somebody interested.

C

Okay, I can participate, but I don't even have any questions specifically for that you bring to that where.

A

We can use that this time to discuss project ideas and project application draft so.

H

Now I can participate as well.

A

So, okay, let's follow up and their mailing list. There are more people interested. We will do it I guess they will be not so many mentors on that call, but becomes to discuss project IDs. We know about okay, anything else for today.

B

Yes, so they can. Everybody I have a small question: I just noticed that there is a student who can take ownership of the llamó project and yeah from the previous year. I slightly take a side project on this topic, so the question is: will it be possible to.

B

Like make something collaborative or so it will be not fully aligned with the project ideas. Maybe it will be the new topic which I will propose with further investigation. Of course, what do you think about this yeah.

A

So project idea just project egg is potentially we can have two projects, three projects or more projects for project idea. It really depends on what is the content, so in google Summer of Code, we expect the issue is independent project, what it means that each project can be evaluated separately and can be delivered separately.

A

So if to collaborate who is another student, it's fine and we encourage you that, because that's how open source work works, but at the same time you need to ensure that project egg is saying dependent enough and since you know about other students are trying. The best way is just sync up and to discuss potential errors so that you keep your project separate and it's a fine approach, and this is one of the reasons why we recommend project discussions to have an imperative, because we have such cases before Wow.

B

Thank you sent your leg. It's a good idea. We will discuss this issue. This said student I will contact them as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

A

Okay, so I just made some notes anything else.

G

A

You've got something like 15 minutes of your life back from this meeting, thanks everyone and looking forward to meet you next week or maybe at wannabes project discussions and again, if you want to discuss your projects specifically, please raise a question because yeah that's how it works. Please ask my mentors and even hesitate to ask in the charts, if you discover any obstacles or have any ideas, it's perfectly fine.

A

F

A

Thanks so right thank.
