Oh okay, nice, okay, welcome everyone. This is our second new commerce meeting. As I said this last week, we had one last week, so this is the second one thanks for joining in so um should we just posted the meeting minutes? Please kindly add your names to dimity minute and any issue you might want to talk about any topic you might want to bring up okay. So um the first thing we are starting with.

A

We are going to do like an all-around introduction, just a quick introduction on your name, where you're calling from just for us to get to know you so I'll start. First, then I'll call, so you just go like in an ugly manner, so just keep calling. So you kindly just commute yourself and give us an introduction.

A

Okay, so hi everybody, I'm ruth from nigeria, and actually I'm a python developer and I've been contributing to their five for over one month, and it has been an amazing experience uh so treaty. Please, can you go next.

B

Yeah sure, hey everybody, I'm shruti, I'm going to be rambling a lot in this meeting trying to host it. Please bear with me and I'm from india and I'd actually give others a chance to introduce themselves first, because you'll be hearing a lot from me. Anyway, let's start with people who haven't been on earlier calls uh rishikesh agarwal. I think you haven't been able go ahead and introduce yourself.

C

Hello, uh my name is.

C

Basically, I'm a web developer. I I mainly make websites and base softwares, maintain view and react, and I am looking forward to grow with this community.

B

Great react um do remind me to ping you on slack. We could use your help in.

B

If I'm pronouncing that right, please do correct me if I'm.

D

E

Hi hello, how are you.

B

E

I'm look basically I'm just for this meeting too. I think there was some presentation happening by anirudh jain for measure installation and I'm really keen to understand that. That basically brings me for this meeting.

B

Yep, I know that welcome to the meeting amir, thank you for giving us an out of your time. I hope it'll be worth it.

E

B

E

I think that I think um lee said that they'll be. He will basically bring this item about um changing the perhaps the timings for the meetings, but I think that's up to lee and other people as well.

B

uh Yep that has been brought up and that's a very good suggestion on your part. It is definitely a problem for east time, people each specific time, people and we'll definitely.

B

Great, this is a good place to start up open source. I can tell you that, from personal experience, you're very welcome here. Let's start you with some issues and possible welcome to the.

F

Community sorry, this year, me sorry, I have something network issues.

A

Oh yeah, that's fine for you. We lost you for a second.

If you can't access it comment, send a ping on slack anything and we'll help you get to it all right. um Vinayak.

B

Would you like to have a go at the introduction.

G

Hello: everyone, my name, is vinayak sharma. I am from india currently a second year student, uh doing electronics and communication engineering and uh I mostly do like web development. uh Most of our work has been with either view or with react. Recently. I've started learning, docker and kubernetes, and I got to know about this community from the community bridge uh mentorship program and I'm really looking forward to make some meaningful contribution uh to this organization.

B

Hey you're very welcome here also do remind me to send you a few resources for the community bridge program on snack. If I.

G

Forget I've already received the community that uh mentor uh mesh form and I've filled it up.

B

Okay, that should be enough perfect, all right, any other new comments, uh ruth anybody else.

A

uh Yeah, I think so.

A

um I think shoe bomb. uh Sorry, if I'm not pronouncing it right here.

H

Yes, um go ahead, so hello, everyone- I am. I am a pre-final student from iit roorkee india, so I have done many projects as a part of my college group as jesus labs, and they are some of them- are in go and view. Some of them are full money stack apps. Some are php apps, so yeah.

A

H

Nice to meet you.

A

Okay, I think uh we have pressures left and android.

B

Okay, that's it uh moving on to the agenda, for today is the nice screen.

A

Visible yeah is this great.

B

Great, um so we did a tutorial on running and setting up japan in the last meeting, we're having a little bit of a technical issue with the actual recording it will be updated with a pre-recorded version of the tutorial soon enough, but for in the meanwhile we did type up a guide for getting started and installing jakaya.

B

This tutorial was done because three of the layer, five sites currently run on education base format, the other two run on gatsby. Are you very welcome to go through the tutorial? You're very welcome to ask questions either in comments here or on slack you're, also very welcome to check out the recording when it is finally uploaded that should be by the end of this week.

B

Hopefully, all right um today we have a very exciting tutorial set up for downloading installing and running mystery. Mystery is one of the central projects that life works on and I'll hand it over to anuradh from here.

C

Hi everyone, I'm anirudh and I'll help. You guys understand on how to set up measuring so I'll just share my screen.

D

C

C

Yep, it is okay, so uh as certainly there are some prerequisites that uh you have, you need to have before, starting to run mystery and those are docker desktop and kubernetes setup.

C

So um for docker you, like you, have docker, you have options for mac windows and linux, so docker, if you're, using mac or windows, it's great to go with docker desktop and if you're using linux, it's great to go with docker engine to serve as a docker provider, and you also need a kubernetes kubernetes cluster setup, which can either be cuban cuban minicube or kind.

C

um The main thing here is: if you have docker desktop, even that comes with it. So you don't. You have to do much of a setup in that part and that that really helped a lot. So if you guys are using windows or mac, I'd say going with docker desktop is the best way to go uh so you after these prerequisites, you need. You need to download the metry record. So this is the layer, five github page to go to imagery.

C

Take take this link or simply do clone copy from here and run. I just get it clone. Then the url and you clone the repository so for me I've already cloned the repo. So it's this and the next thing that after uh you said, you'd uh get the repo is you there are three ways you can run measuring so uh one is make run local. So this uh starts a local local server. You can use docker compose for that also, and the other way is using measuring ctl with.

C

uh Does all the command docker commands for you, but you still need a docker and given that a setup, so uh I'll just go with docker compose for now so docker compose up, so it can start creating those containers for me and it's up so I'll, do this local first one and basically measuring ui.

C

So you you get you get a page like this, so this is the measuring ui, which, uh if, if you work on the ui part, you'll be working on this and you you can use any of these three ways. So you can use measuring measuring ctl. You can use docker compose and you can use this so also uh measuring ctl, like talking with metroid ctl. You can use the payroll binaries.

C

Instead of building your own so for credible binaries we have set up on, we have it set up on homebrew, if you're a mac user and if you're a windows or a linux user, you can use the binary provider. So this link can actually go to the quick start guide.

C

So let's just go to the quick start guide, and here you can select using metrics, atl micro linux. You can use homebrew and uh for if you, if you have bash so in mostly even in windows, if you have batch setup, you can use this command to have your binary installed to use the message ctl or the measures here, command line interface and that's more on how you can set up memory on your local system and so I'll also start the same with um metrics. Here li I'll, just close this cluster okay.

C

Yeah, so what the next thing I can do is measure ctl system start, so this will pull the images and start the cluster on my docker. Also um this this is using. uh This actually does all the commands that have been done above and it boots up. Everything is done. All the commands are executed through the cli, and this is the page. You get right, the main imagery app.

C

The other way you can do. It is obviously make run local. So um I guess it's self-explanatory. You can just simply run make.

I

Something like this.

C

Also so when you use docker compose up and measure system start, it's it even installs all the adapters with it. So you get adapters with containers that will help you with the uh application, but when you run make run local, that only starts up the messy server and not the adapter. So you have to be sure when you're running things that you don't end up uh running the other uh running the make local. If you want the adapter.

C

Also, if you're working on adapters, you might need a maker and local, but it's better to go with docker compose or measuring serial system stuff. So for uh yeah, as I said, you can use these by measuring ctl binaries to get um started with measuring ctl. Also. So if you, if you don't know the commands, what what measure ctl supports, you can simply type measure ctl and you get uh the usage.

C

What are the available commands and the flags for it? So currently we have performance testing. So it's measured. Ctl birth. We have system for life cycle management as the command I run is measury cpl system start. So this is the command that I run to start uh buddha, my mesh measuring server and you can use that. You also have a version to get the version of metrics video that you are using.

C

So that's more on how you can different ways and how you can run messaging and metric ui and also make sure cli. So if you guys have any questions about this, let me know- and yes.

E

Yeah, I have a question for you.

C

E

um Look basically how I'm doing this thing is. I only have an existing eks cluster, okay, okay and this measuring look and how I'm actually spinning up is. I have a linux based chain server, from which I will provision a two nodes for eks cluster.

E

Now this measurey I have to install on linux basically or it can be installed on eks cluster. Can you please enlighten.

C

C

Yeah you can uh like, obviously, if you're, if you're running on a cluster you can install, you can obviously install a um you, can use a vm or any any virtual machine in in the cluster to get measured deployed on it. So it could be a lin, any linux environment. That would be preferable if you can uh boot up docker to get things done.

C

You need to take care of the environment variables and uh make sure that your docker environment is also available because just having kubernetes environment is not sufficient in that regard,.

E

Okay, thanks mike, I actually got some in response from cloud native austin, so that's crack. Thank you.

C

Yeah, that's leah. Thank you. Thanks lee.

E

B

Lee is not actually on call.

C

Okay, who is cloud native austin,.

E

Sorry, who is this I mean I'm sorry, my apologies, I'm calling as clown daniel austin, but it looks like someone else is saying.

B

uh Yep, it is, it is technically great.

C

So any other doubts or any other queries regarding the setup, like probably in the next session, I I'll give you an overview on how you build the cli and how you build the ui, because once you once you start creating or developing, you need to build them in real time, so you can work on it and see responses directly, so that would probably be in the next session, and this session is mostly only for getting uh measured running.

C

So if anyone has any questions regarding this, please let me know you can even ping me on slack and I would hello yeah.

J

Yeah, so I'm currently trying to download docker okay, but this is my first time of doing it and I've heard a lot about it. I'm using a windows machine. So is there anything I should know. I downloaded the stable version.

C

Okay, so uh in windows like are you using docker desktop for windows or are you using the windows, subsystem yeah, I'm download.

J

I've never used docker before the link that shritis sent for downloading docker desktop. That's what I'm using to download all.

B

Right um I'll take this one little. If I can.

I

B

Okay, so for windows, the process is a little bit more complicated because docker desktop does not run without the help of the offer window for linux vm, you can install the windows subsystem for linux. I'll, add a link to the meeting minutes. uh You can also refer to the windows documentation in the imagery docs.

B

So, basically, what you have to do is you need to have a build windows, build greater than 91903, which enables you to install and run wsl 2. That is the second version of wso which supports and allows the internal.

B

um Let me think of word for it, which has internal support for docker desktop. Otherwise, if you do not or cannot install wsl 2 or do not have the appropriate windows build for it, you will have to resort to running wsl1, which does not have internal support for docker desktop. In that case, you'll have to resort to running a docker toolbox, which is a deprecated version of docker, desktop it functions well, but.

B

You will have issues upgrading and installing and simply running it, because you cannot integrate it with ws and you'll have to run a separate, cli rocker.

B

uh So anyway, coming back wsn2. It is the recommended option. After you've installed wsl 2, you can go ahead and download docker desktop and it should function smoothly. Does it answer your question.

J

Karen should you to be honest, I didn't understand any of what you just explained.

J

I didn't really get it at all all right, so I'm just going to put my I'm going to put the download for docker on hold then maybe after the meeting, I can send you a message on slack. They come to you better. Is that fine sure that's perfect.

B

I'll also add a couple of lines for windows: users in the uh mystery setup guide written by anarth, so anybody who wants to run docker desktop and windows or run basically on windows and go ahead and look at it after this meeting great um all right. Moving ahead, uh you won't be doing the ui uh tutorial today, right.

C

um Yeah, I won't be building everything like I can. I can get it done, but it's better to actually let the current uh just running the imagery sink in and have everyone get that done? First, before moving on to the building.

B

All right, great.

E

um Actually, I have a question: if you don't mind, can I ask you yeah sure, um look this measuring and network service mesh and adapters? I can see a lot of adapters here uh on your page, um which you will basically install the measuring dashboard. Can you please your share your screen once again? If you don't mind and give a little bit of more yeah a relationship of.

C

um I'll give you a bit more.

A

C

Yeah, actually, that's something I forgot, maybe so let it start.

C

I

I

I

I

C

So now my adapters have been locked. So basically adapters are, um you could say, an abstraction for different service meshes, so they can be stos consoles, uh open service, mesh or anything. So um what you can do is you can go to console or any any video whichever service you want to run. You then go to their page.

C

So this is the current page for adapters, which is obviously this. This will be improved by a lot. But currently there is the page. So here you can deploy a service mesh right now, so I'll just go with open service mesh. I can deploy it so I'll just say: open service install service, so it will get.

E

Deployed in some time here the results here, my apologies, sir. um I want to ask you a question here when you click on deploy this service mesh, where exactly this is deployed onto your cluster. All on your, where I believe so right.

C

uh It will get deployed to the cube, and that is clustered okay.

C

So you do see your name new name, space, right, osm system.

C

The osm system, so this is cube, ctl get name spaces. I just uh listed the name here. You can see the last one.

C

For the system now so these you have osm controller osm, graphana, osm per meters and the adapt and the main uh zip code for it. So this this is part of the open service mesh, and so, if you deploy, even if, if you deploy sql all the default seo uh adapters or all the all the pods related to that gets deployed on an uh on a namespace, you can actually for uh osm open service mesh. We have osm system for seo. We have uh istio uh something, so everything has a tag.

C

Everything gets deployed in its own name space as a separate service mesh, but it's managed by mestre. So you can manage all all of the service measures to adapters of using measuring instead of having deploying each of them separately.

E

So venturi can actually even manage my istio service as well. That's what you say right.

C

B

Yes, definitely.

E

Oh super, that's pretty fantastic, and even I deploy this network service mess through this measuring dashboard as well.

C

Yeah, so you can even deploy deploy through here so network services. I can. I can even deploy it through this right, so.

C

It's stable, so I just I just deployed it also. um You can currently the uh there's a thing on progress, so that's uh in starting or deploying or managing the service mesh through cli. Currently we can uh install adapters. We can link adapters to um measuring through cli, but not actually invoke a service mesh lifecycle management command. So that's like creating destroying or configuring the cluster, so yeah. So it's nsm has been deployed successfully.

C

So I'll I'll, just go cube, get name spaces and it's right side. Why is it not here?

C

It might have been deployed somewhere, although it's taking. So this is how you deploy. So you can simply go click on plus network service mesh and to destroy it. You can simply do this. So, okay, now.

E

Yeah, that's great now I have another question here: if you don't mind now, this is the only way you have to deploy nsm or there is a like. There could be a repo say, for example, like an instio, you have a repo and then you have releases. There is any other way to deploy network services like we deploy for istio. So is this the only way or there is another way as well? You just want to understand.

C

You can so uh current. The adapter is an abstraction for the service measure, so you can, uh when you you have options currently to deploy it uh separately so for, for example, currently we have specific versions that we support one, the stable version and the latest version from sql. Currently we keep on adding operations, so everything every adapter has their own um repo. So, for example, we have metroid steel, so each adapter has their own repo and each adapter can a repo can be configured to add more operations.

C

That's basically on, like you will have a latest version and, for example, is many type of deployments right. You can steer ctl you can use. uh What's that you can use helm for deploying it. So uh we consider all those we consider those points and we have multiple deploy options for sql in that specific way. So.

E

Yeah, I think I really like this measure, because I I definitely can can see it still can be developed and as well as nsm through a single dashboard, which is a bright feature.

C

And so here's the latest skill using mtls, so sq has two different ways on how you can deploy the service mesh and the uh one way is using the mtls and the other way is using the istio adapters, stable version so anytime. This there's an update on the uh repository, but this page automatically gets updated, or at least it's uh it is dynamic, so it gets automatically updated. So you get all the latest operations and all that when you start working on any adapter.

F

Yep, okay, please! I do have a question.

C

F

Okay, please don't, does measure works with what technology does it work with, or does it work with all technologies like what's specific, is there a specific technology? It works with.

B

Mastery supports and works with service meshes.

F

B

It answer your question: okay,.

B

You'll find a list of supported operations on the in the mastery docs for each particular adapter. If you're interested in that I'll send a link in the chat.

E

Yes, please, that would be great. That was simply fantastic.

F

B

All right uh moving on now.

B

All right um after a great.

B

Tutorial see um so, basically, everything another just said and explained and demoed can be played around with, can be understood better using workshops.

B

So there5 has these workshops that it provides for free to you and you can go ahead and learn about mastery. Learn about service meshes done about how we operate using these workshops and um as a point of interest for you. We also have um a particular workshop to run with istio.

B

If you want to try that out I'll, send you a link personally.

E

um Shreddy, I will be more interested, not just instill, because in network service mess, because the challenge which I'm having is. I want to join a note from an external um network to my existing eks list and I believe um um lee actually pointed out that nsm would be away. So I want to focus my attention and energy on this nsm. So do you have any workshops for that? Please.

B

uh We basically just use istio as an example, so all right, okay, yeah, so you can definitely just swap steel for denison. In the same workshop.

I

B

I'll be sure to send you a link for that and I'll be sure to add a link to the meeting with as well for anybody else who want to try this out.

E

B

uh The quick start guide is also a great way to start out with luxury, to install it to run it to play around with you to understand the two all right, um some other reading resources for you. um These are all included in the mystery documentation which can be found on the national site.

B

I will add a link to the meeting minutes. If you don't already have it.

E

Yeah, uh so this is yeah yeah.

E

I just want to understand measuring and layer five, how are they connected with each other.

B

uh Life I measures on the projects on the live five. It is one of the products that life currently supports. For example, uh yeah, do you see the list here.

E

B

Yeah, so messy is one of the projects.

E

Okay, fantastic. Thank you.

B

All right, um so I'm adding a link to the docs documentation as well.

B

Some of the pages have been bookmarked for you, which are a good starting guide for mystery for meshing cto, for basically anything that you want to start out or understand which undergraduates has beautifully explained just a couple of minutes ago, and there you go, there's a link at the meeting minutes um under the problem, probably under or somebody else or somebody basically will probably take up another session on messages here on the master ui and how to go about setting up the department uh local deployment in the next meeting.

B

So please do tune in for that.

B

And that's about it. Let's move on all right uh karen! You want to go ahead with.

B

J

Can you hear me yeah? Okay, thank you so much sweetie! Thank you everybody! So let me um let me introduce myself. I haven't gotten time to do that just yet. My name is karen and I started contributing to nursery about. I don't know close to a month ago, but all my contributions so far have been basically documentation.

J

So I spoke to switzer saying that it would be a good idea if we could have a video kind of like a video tutorial. Just you know, putting putting a new contributor through to how to make their first open source, so I'm still trying to get the hang of the other technical content like every other technical aspect of mercury. But for now all the contributions I've been doing so far have been dogs. So I made two attempts at creating a video.

J

Although button times I had some what the latest one I created, I wanted to just share it so that maybe I could get feedback on what to do to make it better. I've watched some of the videos from um layer five on youtube, so I spoke to lee and shriti, and this spoke about you know adding the the general intros and outros that we use for other layer, five projects to the video, but I don't know how to work so sweetie. Would it be okay?

J

If I shared my screen to kind of show you what I have so far, maybe I could get recommendations on how to make it better. Okay, so uh I'll do share screen one.

J

J

One minute.

I

Please share screen.

F

B

um Not yet just a black screen yep, you can.

J

See it now, okay, so I'm trying to open up the video right now by the way I just finished downloading docker, so just going to have to one minute, I'm trying to.

J

J

I'm so sorry, if my voice sounds weird in this video, is it taking forever.

J

Hello welcome to massary if this is your first time here. Thank you so much for wanting to contribute to mystery.

J

I'm going to hold your hand and guide you through making your first open-source contribution. After watching this video, you will be confident enough to dive into mystery. Take a look at the open issues and tackle anyone with it. That seems interesting to you. Are you excited? Let's get started so the first thing you have to do is navigate to this web address. Https.

J

Github.Com once you're here, you have different paints, I'm assuming that this is not your first time using github.

J

But if it is let's in the comment section then we can arrange to make a video on an introduction you have to do is to come. Here means that okay people have used mercury, and here are some of the issues that we found out, because the aim of open source is to make the project even better. So you can help us by looking at an open issue.

B

Can you see my screen, that's kind of helpful.

J

B

Let's click on the issues right here pause the video.

J

Yes, I can see this right now. That's what I want to do.

D

J

Trying to force it yeah, we especially know some first timers.

J

These are physically aimed towards first.

F

J

However, my purpose of this video I'm going to be working on this particular issue, yeah. Actually, let's.

B

J

B

uh We can yeah, let's not play the exact video on call. uh Maybe you could explain. Sweetie.

J

Can you hear me.

B

B

Oh great, let's not actually show the video on call. uh Perhaps you could explain what you've done can.

J

B

Yes, I can, oh, am I audible.

E

Ruth, yes, I can hear you shooting.

B

Great um karen, am I horrible.

B

All right, I think you lost gun for a bit um all right, um I'll, go ahead and explain what canon was trying to do there. So we have had a lot of contributors in the last month or so which, who have had a bit of a problem working with um the good desktop application with windows, because inherently they git desktop application does not um offer an option to sign off on your commits, which is a requirement for any pr to be accepted by their five.

B

It is just a dc requirement which it basically means that there is a a digital signature on your commits that you push to or that you pushed your pr or clear comments, and um that is exactly what karen was trying to demonstrate through her tutorial.

B

uh There will be a link.

B

In the meeting minutes, I will make sure that it is there. It will also be hosted uh either on youtube with on the live, youtube channel or somewhere that she will be informed about um canon, was gracious enough to take up this initiative and has made and has taken up one of the issues on the rfid report and made a pretty good tutorial for anybody to follow through, if you're, using windows or and if you're, using git on windows.

B

uh Karen is your audio situation any better?

B

Yes, can you hear me yep.

J

I can yeah, so that's, basically it I was thinking, maybe you and lee, and maybe any of the others were able to watch, can give suggestions on how to make, because I kind of figured out that I wanted to make it balanced. This tutorial should not be too simple, like the main aim of making tutorial falls out, and it should not be too complicated.

J

Such that somebody who wants to contribute like a first-time contributor is scared and runs you get so kind of just striking the balance. So maybe I don't know just let me know what you think about the video any recommendations on how to make it even better. Then maybe we'll make another one for yes and I actually figured out that using um github desktop, maybe for something like documentation contributions. It's quite easy just make your changes.

Well, maybe we could break the video into those smaller steps like how to make um how to create a branch I spoke to. No, I don't think I've spoken to you yet. I think you should be another. We should tackle the issue of maybe creating a general um workflow for creating a branch like if somebody is talking about issue. What is the I'm trying to look for the word now? I can't figure it out the the guidelines for creating a branch name.

J

Are you following me? Shitty.

B

Yep, I am so the basis yeah.

J

B

Defined in the contributing guide, okay, let's, let's talk about more about this and slack, if that's okay, okay, sure great uh is shin wendy on call.

B

um All right, I guess not, I'm not sure what this was about.

B

uh Dude. Do you remember ruth uh kalichi, anita.

B

B

B

All right uh well never mind we'll discuss this in the next meeting going forward, um so for any new contributors, we have a list of good first issues. um The prerequisites also mentioned these.

B

These are completely basic and beginner issues that you can take up with almost no prerequisites, for example. um So currently I'll walk you through one of the projects here in reference to this issue. So currently we are in the process of hauling over the unified dot io site, which is basically this site.

B

uh Over to a gaps, we found a platform, so this site is currently based in education platform, which is a tool for hosting static websites, we're currently in the process of calling it over to our cache based react based um site with the layer, 5 ng domain name and well.

B

We need a lots of help in that and currently in the process of hauling over the basic data from the life dot, io side to the left, ng site, I'll, walk you through this particular issue for any new contributors that are hoping to make them up here.

B

So what you currently need for this particular issue. What you currently need to do is you need to transfer the data that is visible on this page from the life dot io site to the live entity site which is currently hosted on the network platform. It is a work in progress um to do that. You need to have basic knowledge of markdown, some css a little bit of javascript to make sure that the entire thing looks appropriate and respectable and um just look looks good to the eye.

B

This is a very basic issue and can be taken up by almost anybody with a little bit of a little knowledge of at least javascript. Markdown is a very easy thing to learn. It's basically, english transferred a little bit towards the technical side.

B

If anybody wants to, I can provide a guide to learn lockdown as well. It's basically just like a preamble um which is just guidelines.

B

For america's screen, visible.

B

All right, um so there are a couple of issues like these, which were um put out in the last week or so, and most of them have been taken up by existing contributors by people who have come in. You are very welcome to watch the space across all the lifi projects for basic issues as well as complicated issues, and for something that you want to get into whether it is the site projects, whether it is mastery, whether you are hoping to get into react-based work with the master ui or the sites, I'm looking at shibaman.

B

I think it was.

B

Vinayak here, because you mentioned some having some experience or having wanting to work with react um ping me on slack. If you want to work on issues ping me on slack, if you want to find issues.

B

Yes and that's it I'll also go through one through the live five repos, so we currently have about six projects. Six live running projects which are mentioned here. One of them is mesh tree which, under it, just um demoed which and which we're doing a tutorial for today, the other one is the landscape project. Another one is service, mesh performance, which is the smp project, which is in direct correlation to mystery.

B

What it currently provides is.

B

Is assurance that your service mesh confirms with the smi specification, which is a lot of technical detail that I won't get into at the moment, it probably will be on one of the tutorials in the upcoming meetings. So please stay tuned in the rest of the projects, a little bit too technical for the for this particular meeting, because we only have about nine eight to nine months left and that's it um all right. Does anybody else have anything to bring up in the meeting.

D

C

Hi, uh yes, uh I am a view developer, so I want to know uh how can I contribute like I saw repo image hub. So can you tell me about that and what are the issues in ui and front-end part so that I can contribute.

B

uh Sure all right um I'll spend the next three minutes in explaining the products you or to anybody who wants to get into the website's part. So currently, layer 5 has um five side products going on.

B

One of them is the 5 side which you're currently looking at, which we're currently working on holding over to the layer 5 ng platform, which is against speedrun platform. The current site works on chicaio, um another one is mesri and the imagery documentation. This site is also run in jekyll.

B

The documentation is also run on jakai and uses. Css javascript react all the design languages that you can think of another one.

B

Is yep uh the smp split that io website, which is also run on japan? These are the easy ways that you can make your mark here in which you can start out here. The smp website currently needs a lot of work. um You'll find a list of issues that need to be fixed with the smp website.

B

uh Here. If you can see my screen, there's a link in the meeting minutes, it was discussed in the last meeting by uh neil. I think so. If you want to go ahead, please do have a look at these. uh Some of them have already been fixed. Some of them have not been fixed um if you want to make sure which have been fixed, which I've been not getting to github. um If you haven't worked with get up before play with the ui look at some tutorials, you should get the hang of it pretty soon.

B

If you can't get the hang of it duping me on slack I'll help, you out bring anybody on slack in the lf community. I'm sure they'll help you out.

B

um So these are the running ideas for the s p side that need to be fixed. Please do have a look apart from that I'll show you, the simple rapper once on call.

B

uh Yep, so currently um the smp site front is being headed by uh neil and bear and me and josh and nicole and a couple of other people. I won't bombard with you with names at the moment, uh go here and pick out. Any open issue comment on any open issue that you want to take up.

B

um People will be kind and helpful and I'm pretty sure, they're responding as fast as they can. If you are hesitant in doing so um ping me on slack instead.

B

Also, uh if you're a newcomer, do please join the newcomers channel on slack or and if you want to work on the websites specifically, please do join the website channel slack. If you can't find those channels again, ping me I'll help you out um picking any of the community managers. Actually it doesn't just have to be me if you.

B

Don't prefer to talk to me after all the rambling, I'm doing here completely understandable, um yeah, that's about it. Does that answer your question.

D

B

Yes, yes, yes,.

B

B

B

Great, thank you. That's awfully sweet of you.

B

B

Also, this is a call for anybody. Looking to the repos, please do stop the request when you find it, it helps us a tiny bit in progressing the products and processing the effort taken to build those projects.

B

uh Ruth you want to add anything here.

B

All right, I think, group, has a bit of an issue with the audio.

B

All right uh I'll actually demonstrate a little bit on this. For anybody who was asking budget guide is so we had a tutorial in the last meeting and yep, so we're setting up repair and working locally with it to make any changes to the sites or to work with any of the issues that have been taken up by you or that you're hoping to take up or, if you're, just hoping planning on playing around with the sites.

B

Well, this is a guide written up for vendors for linux, using the ubuntu um vm um another one for linux and another one for mac course. These were done by me, dave calder and alaba briggs. A recording of this will be up soon. I hope, because we had a bit of a techno technical issue in the last meeting, um we'll be doing a re recording of the tutorials and they'll be up for you to view for you to go through and learn from.

B

Hopefully these will get you set up with jakail and running with any of the sites that you wish to be. If you have any issues, even after this tutorial, again feel free to ping me or any of the community managers, and that's it that's all for today, I think if nobody else has any questions.

B

Feel free to ask questions in these. This is a meeting for you. It's specifically a new colors meeting. You can ask questions in anything basically, but this is a platform that you can and where people will answer the most basic of questions.

B

And all right, so that's it. Let's.

B

Let's not get into a fight between nigerian american and indian slangs. That will take another hour of our time. It's not their price. Now yeah, all right! um I am not going to drop an indian sangha, because let's do that after a few meetings, I'm just kidding all right. uh Thank you for coming. Thank you for hearing me ramble on and on.

B
