Description

Contributing to Open Source with Layer5.

A

Okay, welcome everybody. This is the first newcomers meeting. This is a place for everybody who is just starting off with the projects and doesn't have a place to get started. It's something we've all been through and something every newcomer goes through.

A

Please add your names to be meeting units. Please add any topics to the agenda that you want to discuss or debate or demo. We don't buy it not in a good day anyway, and today we have some tutorials planned some discussions and I think even a demo.

A

So that's it don't feel shy. Please keep adding your name still needing the lips. Keep speak up. If you want to turn your videos on, if you want to, and you'll be good to go uh so this in this meetings we'll be conducting one every thursday and we'll be doing short tutorials on ways to get.

A

You started out with the life projects today, on the first call, we are doing a tutorial on jakaya, because uh three of the layer, five sites run on jakaya and we've had a couple of contributors having issues with running jakarta on their operating system. Currently uh we'll have tutorials for windows, linux and macos.

A

You can also refer to the official jacal documentation for this, but we'll be pointing out to any obvious issues that you might.

B

A

A

A

Hey is it any better now.

C

Hello, yeah, yeah, hello,.

A

Is it any better.

C

A

All right, um ruth am I audible now.

C

I think c isn't here at the call.

D

Oh, I could hear you clearly wait.

A

I have no, I don't know why, but she was there a minute ago and there was a much longer list of people.

A

Let me just check once.

E

Thank you yeah, but somebody knows what happened.

F

I asked I asked, but I'm waiting for the reply. There is a pleasure, maybe.

D

I have a question.

C

Yeah yeah, he was saying.

F

C

F

Why are we using zoom.

C

F

Actually, I don't know personally, I feel uh I guess sorry what yeah discord is better. I think um I I personally prefer meat, or maybe microsoft, teams or something else, but don't zoom, but yeah.

D

Actually zoom, as the zoom can accommodate a lot of people at once. I think that's why they choose zoom over meet or being.

F

Is is some limit on meat, or is it only okay.

D

I think I think there is six people limited.

C

Actually, uh this mid session is uh sponsored okay, so I mean if it.

B

C

Amount of money for for like hosting a session, then it will be like free for up to 350 people, which I.

B

F

All nice yeah, actually I in fact on zoom we can only only 40 people can join if it was a free version, but in a paid version I think it has limit like for this person. You will get 100, you will get for this. You will get 200 and something like that.

C

F

F

I was, I was thinking the same thing that where they means this meeting for them actually.

C

uh This organization is growing, but it will take time. I mean people are there, but they are not coming into the call. That's where the problem is.

F

Yeah, actually, uh I think, most of uh most not most many of them just joined the slack and they just don't do anything like yeah yeah. Taking a check out like there are 990 members in this organization right now on slack and I'm sure that maybe 900 of them aren't doing anything.

C

But kind of like a fact.

C

um But it happens everywhere, like I've been in public lag before coming player. Five and I've been in them for a long.

C

That's how it all got.

C

D

Let's see if the newcomers join in later meetings.

F

Yeah, I don't know if they will be joining this one. Actually, this meeting had two purposes so first was providing a kind of tutorial to the newcomers so that, for example, in this meeting, the plan was to demo how to set up the check, uh build environment for jkill that is used to build the ui's fourth earlier five sites, so that newcomers won't face problems like installing ruby and setting all these things up and by recording this video and putting it somewhere.

F

Then then also we can ah and then they can ins and they don't have to attend this meeting right. They can just go there and yeah. This was this is the issue I am facing. Let's just do this.

C

That's the thing.

F

Yeah yeah and this meeting was like- if someone has more doubts about that, so he will he or she will ask.

C

Yes, yeah by the way, that's the question.

F

Yeah, actually I know I I think lee wasn't going to join this meeting.

F

Actually he was busy with something else and actually in fact, I had a meeting with him just before this and I saw his calendar and that went again. He is pretty much packed like he's very busy, so maybe that's why he isn't going to join this meeting. Actually, this is another meeting right, uh so this.

B

F

The purpose of the spreading the goal is to basically help to provide some tutorials to solve some doubts, but there is another meeting right, I think developer community or something and that meeting is there, and so basically we can talk to him and in that meeting, and I don't think he will be joining this meeting in the future. Also, but yeah other meetings will be joining them.

D

F

Actually, I don't know where she goes, she went, but I.

C

F

And what about you guys? Are you stupid or uh yeah yeah pre-final.

D

Okay and I'm good.

C

Same kind of yeah.

F

Thanks, I am in fault.

B

D

D

Online classes are being held right.

F

Yeah, actually, I think mine started a week before and uh yeah in this two three days. I was doing some assignments and all those things, so uh I am uh from haryana. um It's.

C

Ago maybe yeah, okay.

D

And where you are from, I am from bangladesh yeah university of berry. Oh yeah,.

F

So there is another participant here: uh clear, hey hi,.

C

A

From nigeria yeah good afternoon,.

C

um Maybe I can share my screen and things.

F

C

Are going forward.

F

Isn't working properly.

C

But what is happening is that in these times the servers are getting a very high up time and also hates from different stores in the world. So maybe.

D

See you later, I have a meeting scheduled with my professor. You know in five minutes: okay, okay, okay, take care.

F

Guys, huh so what should we do? Should we start with this, or um I think, maybe maybe.

C

We can discuss.

F

Or maybe we have to postpone this because.

C

Maybe starting from 10 at iist.

E

Just to check if this thing, but this is something that was yeah, it's the same.

C

I know I don't know it's only one.

F

Actually right now, someone just being in the newcomers channel and then I was thinking like. Maybe there is some another meeting going on, then we don't know- and we are just discussing something here-.

C

And we can discuss the problem yeah.

F

F

So when did you do join but yeah layer 5.? When did you join layer.

C

5 I actually joined, maybe in the midweek of dubai. Oh, is it visible right now it's visible, but.

E

C

It's physical, okay, so the problems we're trying what is happening.

C

um Okay. Is it visible right now, yeah, it's visible, so uh I was producing a major revamp. This page is talking about that. uh There are lots of fun. Let me open that.

C

Right, where is.

C

C

Saying that if we can redesign the ui and can revamp something like, uh let me show you uh yeah, let's I said, decrease the band loop size here like um here right here, okay, so what is happening maybe once again.

C

Okay, so I was saying decreases in random size because of this, because this itself is taking.

B

A lot of space.

C

Over here, if we can reduce the size, then the number um dimension will reduce greater extent. I guess yeah. Okay. The next point was decreasing number high dimension. It was related for this. Also, if we reduce the number, this test will also reduce writing for destiny and there we can add an another section called log, maybe yeah the next next topic was. uh We can include a yellow on over color over this, as you can see over here is going grey.

C

I was talking about this color this year, yeah and the fourth one. What I was talking about that, if we zoom in and zoom out page, you can see this right.

C

I was talking about to make something like this. I made this page for creating, like I mean for recording videos from browser. Only if you can see over here I what did what I did is that I changed the value of background uh height and it's with hundred percent and set it on that. If zoom it out, then the background image will remain where it is, but this text will go and read scale.

C

Yeah, so I was thinking to implement something like that on this on here.

C

On this page and the first one is like shifting the standardizing value management like shifting this, if I implement that thing over here, then I have to save this part a little bit of center. I guess and also change the position of this button and okay.

C

I also probably add a simple scroll down button over here, maybe over here.

C

um I also said reduce the acc padding because with the open issue here I mean I was talking about this like there is excessive padding between the sections. As you can see, you can reduce this part change the length of the page. I guess reduce the page and there are three sub sections under the section yeah this part.

C

I guess we can add another section over here, sub section actually for layer, five, let's say.

F

Four pointer, yeah, okay.

F

No actually just go on that three, so the first one is contributing right. No, no! No.

C

That's why I said that if we can add a git every loop over here, another section and then can add a concluding part, I actually overlook this part.

C

Over here, like what is there in the layer, 5i.

C

Page like this.

C

Or maybe like this.

C

Maybe like this.

C

Over this part- and also this is also an important part like we can reduce the size of this logos a bit. Actually, these are svgs, I guess and then align them horizontally in a single line.

F

But what if more contributors come then.

C

F

Instead of what I want to suggest is, instead of doing that, what you can do is you can just center them. So therefore, google, hashicorp cloud native cncfi, then texas would be in center like contributors, it.

F

Yeah, five, six and yeah that exactly like the fifth one would be under google and the sixth one would be under hashicorp, because if you implemented it that way, you won't have to change the styling of the sport in the.

C

C

The size of this and that's it for now and I will shift them in center. I haven't done that, but I will do that.

C

E

C

Adding images in the newsletter like what is there in the layer 5 like this over in here? Maybe it's an optional part, but we can.

F

Yeah we can actually some things are like you have to first implement them, then see that how uh they are looking are they good or not, and then living in design? Some things are like that right.

C

C

Kind of like this yeah.

C

Yeah yeah there's a page.

C

Which is optional, I guess, but I said that lee and he said okay and also there is a big issue in mobile view. This part, as you can see,.

F

This isn't looking good right.

E

C

We can fix this.

F

And the final thing is at this point: just just once again: the name of the site is smp spectrum right. Yes, I was just trying to open this. Let's see.

C

F

C

And the final one was adjusting the margins and title side of the page left blocks like, uh as I said we can. We can include this like this. This thing I actually opened a pr, but actually what happened is that it is working in my local, as you can see over here. We need to add the author and the publish date. Okay,.

F

Just one second.

F

All right, the meeting is going on and I don't know where, but I think the link was done was something yeah. The meeting the meeting is going on just one second, I.

C

F

F

uh So shruti might be standing in that length here and you can just leave this waiting right. Okay, you just once again, I will check my slack if I'm moving.

E

E

E

C

C

Okay, okay, okay, I got it, I got it yeah yeah! I got it.

F

C

The link, if you haven't.
