A

All right, um let me introduce the live five side project student. You said you you're learning react. I think, and that you've worked with james.

B

Yes, yes, okay,.

A

So if you want to get started with react, uh we do have a site project patently going on, which is the layer 5.

C

A

And it's um production people are working on it pretty steadily so you'll be able to get in and help. I think okay.

C

A

Great it's built on clear and it currently is um being built on a framework called taxi.

B

I'm not like it's kind of breaking on my idea. I'm not yen. Clearly.

A

Any better now.

B

A

Great all right, um so, if you're working with react or if you want to work with react, one of the current side projects is life type ng and people are steadily working. Let's see be able to get on pretty quickly.

A

C

A

Andreas and another chamber called gatsby.

B

A

Should be an easy learn there? This is the current.

C

A

And still being worked on and it's about to be launched in well in the new year, hopefully, but we'll continue to work on it to improve things to just make things better. I hope yeah.

B

Before I caught you like, do you mean I can lay on this layer? Five? This is not showing on your screen.

A

Yep, this is great.

A

Okay, all right uh you'll find a link to the site in the meeting minutes as well. You should be able to access this by the way I'll send a link in the hat as well.

Thanks um so big plans for the week.

B

I'm not much just still working personally still working or stealing it that's.

A

A

All right um yeah, so I was talking about lifetime ng, um there's a link to it in the chat. There's a link to the meeting minutes in the chat and there's a link to.

B

A

In the meeting minutes you should be able to access it.

A

Also, if you want to look up issues in it, um repo is on there five under a branch called the f5 ng. I can actually show it to you, because we don't have anything much else. um Just a second.

B

A

All right so on the left-hand repo there's, a branch called layer 5mg, which currently holds the entire source code for this particular website. um Please don't go there. Please go explore it. Please go look at it and you should be able to find a couple of open issues that you can.

B

A

B

A

You don't find anything, please do ping me pick me or um josh or tunnels and I'll actually write down their names. That it'll be easier for.

A

A

I like right: hey, we have somebody else with us. Hey joseph.

A

If you can't speak up, that would be great.

B

Do you mean me.

A

Oh no, no, I meant the other person joseph on the call.

C

Okay good afternoon, sorry.

A

No issues, hey so maybe questions by the way.

C

Sorry merry christmas. Thank you. Thank.

A

C

Thank you. Thank you. I really appreciate thank you.

A

Okay, um are you joining us for the first time? I don't think you are.

C

No, no, I'm not jenny. For the first time.

A

All right um have you found something to work on yet I think this will look like in the third meeting.

C

Yeah, I will not active yeah recently.

A

Oh nice, all right: uh what do you do.

C

A

um We have another person with us who also works in elijah.

B

A

All right uh so, as I was saying, uh we currently have a project on that is based on react and js and runs together that you can contribute to which is lifetime energy. The other four side projects are mode based, words, um js and not react and run on a platform called shekel, which is a static site generator. It could be fairly easy to set up. We also have guides to that. So again should be fairly easy and that's it. The red poles are similarly named on left side, so they should be easy to find.

A

um Can I help you in any other way, both of.

B

A

Elijah joseph, can I help you in any other way, except for the.

C

uh No, no, I know it's true.

A

All right, that's great um joseph.

C

A

I don't know if you have mesh mates, but you can have flash paints. So um we have a current ongoing program called mesh mates which are basically mentors to get you through the first awkward phase of get understanding the projects and understanding the community and finding a honor to work in.

A

So if you want one go, look at the page, go pick out one and go ask them to be a mentor on the newcomers channel, I'm more than sure that they will reply and you'll have a mentor.

C

Okay, that will be fun.

A

uh Another thing that I can introduce to you is our projects, but I won't go too much into detail right now or on this call. uh If you want to try out the central project, we have hands-on models.

A

The central project is something called mystery, which is a service flash management link, and I really don't think it would be hurtful to explain what exactly it does or what exactly how exactly functions on this particular call to understand that better or you were very, very welcome to join us for the mastery dev call which happens on thursday, I'm so sorry on pedestal.

A

All right, okay, yeah! uh If you want to go, try out mystery without doing anything to your own system. Go! Try out these hands-on tutorials! There's a link in the meeting with it.

A

And that's it that's uh all I can ramble about. Is there anything else that you want to.

B

C

B

C

I mean I won't ask you question idea.

C

Yep, okay, in choosing so for I, when I did my first for me when I first pushed my when I first contributed on player 5, it was on html stuff.

C

I did some changes, so the reason why I have not been active is that the the project is kind of confusing for me, but I'm glad that you already led me to the to meet the mercy, so I think I would meet roots with cicada too on some other stuff, so um the project there you have the face of uh using python or java to have you have free ads. You have js, so you have other other programming, language and other frameworks in choosing and going to the github pages me.

A

C

Get going to the github pages, choosing a file choosing a fight to work on is kind of confusing. For me, I don't know if you can give me yeah. Give me something to read on so I'll, be able to understand much means very well.

A

All right, uh let me understand it. uh You basically want me to understand which languages are being used in individual projects, so that you can pick one.

C

Yes, yes, yes,.

A

All right, um all right, I'll, give you a run through so, if you're talking about individual projects or if you're talking about individual um powers that are going on mastery is built on golang and and also the ui is built with riya. So that is also something that you can contribute to.

A

Vashti is a project which has a command line, which is also built in golan and if you are actually learning, though, that is a good way to start out. Apart from that, um I already explained the side projects, but moving on from that, we don't really have anything going on so python in java. As far as I know,.

A

We do have another project that holds out a little bit of first c, plus plus, but you will have.

C

A

A basic understanding of cool and for that as well.

C

A

Apart from that, I don't really think we have any central projects that run on any of the frameworks. Apart from the content, tax or the event of stacks, does that answer your question.

C

See yes, yes, I really appreciate it.

A

All right uh anything else.

C

No, no I'll be fine for now.

A

All right, um yeah.

B

Let me ask a question: please: can I go.

B

A

B

All right, like you, were talking about messy and they are five. They are different right.

A

Oh, uh so metri is a project under layer. Five lassi was the central organization. Okay, which has um let me show it to you all right. So this is the current site which we are currently moving on to life mng.

A

uh So this is these. Are the projects under life? Life is not like an umbrella organization for these particular projects. Mystery is the central project and all the rest of them are connected in some way or the other hope that makes sense.

B

Yes, yes, you were talking about me that time for someone to work on mercy, the person has to know a bit of good language right.

A

uh To work on the code, yes, uh you need to be familiar with either golang or rust, or uh a lot of other things, but yeah all right all right, but.

B

A

The ui, you need to be familiar with react, so that is also something you can contribute to.

B

Okay, that is for the front end of mercury yep. Okay, thank you. Hey.

A

Any time all right, um if neither of you have any other questions, please feel free to leave. The call go have a nice christmas to go. Have a nice new year.

B

All right thank.

A

A

uh Joseph's same for you, if you don't have any other questions, that's it. I guess.

A
