A

A

Hello good morning, good afternoon, good evening, everybody welcome to this google some jenkins google summer of code office hour so currently on the call we have uh chris org admin and the mentor and myself jean-marc mason, org admin and mentor and we're waiting for people to join.

A

To answer any questions.

B

So let me put that like a couple things to each other.

A

Okay, I see there's somebody else who joined on the document.

B

Okay, just push the link on the channel.

B

A

B

A

uh Chris, oh.

B

There, okay, all right: okay,.

C

Hello hi, everyone.

A

Good afternoon mirage, how are you yes.

C

I'm good, how are you.

A

Well, not too bad, not too bad nice to have you. We have you here, okay, then I will start. I have a first point on the agenda.

A

It's not next week, I have a doubt now hold on it there. There is one of the office hours that I will not be able to manage.

A

So this is next week.

A

um This is the office hour on the 21st of april.

A

So in in two weeks uh I will be in paris where I'm giving a talk to.

A

uh In a conference there so I'll, I will not be a and it's about the time where I'll be talking. So it's not twice so uh I will see if we can organize it um that somebody will. I will first see with mark if he can handle uh the call and the recording.

A

Otherwise, chris are you available in two weeks and we see how we do the recording.

B

I think I am but I like um yeah, I think I can. I can do it.

A

Okay, so uh it may be that uh if mark is busy he comes in starts the meeting and then marks you as a host and gets you started, and then you you, you can drive so.

B

A

Okay, I need to get that organized okay, that's the the first point.

A

uh I see a first question from diraj.

A

Do I read a question or you want to explain it or are you still writing it.

C

Yeah, I think that's it so it's about. Can we choose not to receive the g-shocks type in just out of curiosity?

C

uh The context here is that, uh since we have like, if a person has employment in a company, they cannot, there are some rules like they cannot have another source of income. So I was wondering like: can we refrain from getting strike in here and just make it like purely open source kind of contribution.

A

A

C

A

Money is probably always an option, but I I prefer to check chris. You have maybe informations yeah.

B

I think I think remember it used to be like you can choose not to receive skype. If you want.

A

B

A

So when and uh and- and maybe another option is uh to donate it to the jenkins community uh so that we we can use that money, then for uh sponsoring other activities. I I will raise that point during the advocacy and outreach uh meeting so but you you're not struck and don't put yourself into problems with that.

C

Sure so I think then I would need to plan it from my end force. I was just trying to understand. Like do we have a official channel for this, so if it's an option then I would, I would need to talk with my employer and try to see whether how their situation and then accordingly decide.

A

Okay, good here I'm going to talk to uh the google summer of code organization and going to talk with mark who has more experience with with that and we we can then eventually come back to that subject uh later, we're still we're still in the selection uh period.

B

C

So I asked this right now.

A

uh You're unmute, you're, muted, you're, muted stretch; okay, sorry, sorry,.

C

So I asked this question just wanted to be sure like what's the process, even though obviously it's selection process, I'm not. I just wanted to be clear. That's all.

A

Yeah, but normally it should be allowed uh your employer. I I don't see a reason. The only person that could not be happy with that is is the tax collector yeah. You might run into tax issues.

A

Yeah, I I don't know what you, how you declare it or how how you you do it. I I don't know probably different from one country to the other yeah.

C

Even I don't know.

A

By uh I ask your employer: ask what what is there. They maybe have advice for you there and uh I'm I'm going to listen and- and maybe we can reach out to previous years contributors that were from india.

A

They they maybe worked it out. I don't know.

C

Yes, so another reason for asking this right now, even before the selection process was not to like, if, if there's any problem ahead, I just wanted to avoid any problems, so just wanted to be clear so that your time is also not wasted uh moving forward. That's why.

A

Yeah well, I appreciate raising, but uh the the probability that this will give you a problem that would prevent you from participating uh to what is is very, very low, so we'll we'll find a solution for that. So.

C

That's good to know.

A

You're feeling good with your proposal.

C

uh So far, yes, I'm actually enjoying writing the proposal and I'm looking forward to the today's session as well, because I do have some questions and when they get answered, I would be in a better position to you know: combine the final draft yeah.

A

Okay, good, but uh we're making good progress there. I I like it so good. Are there other topics.

A

C

I don't have any other questions for the only ones.

A

The people that are listening in uh so we are currently so um registration on a google summer of code. A site is open, so you can submit your proposal as a pdf.

A

I've already seen a couple of proposals.

A

We wait until the closure of the submission period, which ends april 19th, and then the mentor community from jenkins will review the the proposals.

A

And we are going to first request a certain number of slots based on the proposal and the mentor capacity we have. Let's say then: ask google okay, we would like to have that many slots, and these are the candidates that we would like to.

A

To propose and then google is going to.

A

Acknowledge that and approve and then the candidates will be announced and then we start the second phase of google summer of code.

A

But this will come back so we're now, in the last run for uh contributors finishing the the proposals on time for the 19th.

A

Then you will all be be able to breathe. Rest finish your exams if you're still it at school and prepare for the next step.

A

uh Raj, I see you were not able to login register on the google summer code site.

C

Yes, I'm not sure why even other participants had that issue, but I think for them it got resolved. But for me, when I click on login and choose my google account to authenticate myself, it's a it says one minute, please and it shows a loading screen and then uh nothing happens. So, okay, no login.

A

Yeah, it is important uh we need to get that going so open a support ticket. There is an option. I know that um christine as a mentor had also issues to log in and the support from google had to look into that so open a ticket on time for google to sort it out, because it would be really really a pity to miss the deadline, because you could not log in.

C

So about that ticket do I find its link on the summer of code with google website? I think so. Okay, so I'll I'll. Do the research.

A

Here do the research if you get stuck uh um call for help and and say here, I'm I'm stuck normally, you should be concentrating on finishing uh your proposal and not sorting out these login.

C

Issues, yes, maybe the other participants who had that issue earlier might be able to help me.

A

C

A

Post a question later.

C

On if it's yeah.

A

Do do that and if they solve it yeah do they were good to know and uh rush. Maybe once you get it sorted, maybe upload already an initial version of your document uh so that we see that uh okay you're you're you're in and this is sorted so I think we have now um five proposals registered chris.

B

Yeah, I just post a link on the chat because, like they have a help section, there's some links you can use.

C

B

C

Yeah I'll go through it uh right now and let's see I'll reach out to them. Yes, thanks a lot: okay, okay,.

A

C

So no more questions from my side. Yes, that was all.

A

Okay, then we can close the coal and have a cup of coffee or tea before the brainstorm in 15 minutes. Chris, is that okay, for you yeah sure.

A

Okay, so thanks for joining good luck in finishing your submissions and talk to you later then bye, bye, everybody.
