A

Hi everyone welcome to the websites meeting. We always begin this meeting with the introduction of our newest members. So I see uh pavia has joined us today. I am assuming this is your first call. uh The first website's called you attending.

B

Okay, yes, uh this is my first website called hey everyone hi, my name is bhabha and I'm currently in sophomore year of my college, and I just started with contributing to this amazing community. So thanks for this.

A

Thank you pavia welcome to the community.

A

Okay, any other newcomer on the call today who wants to introduce themselves to everyone here uh siddhis. This is the first time you are attending. This call right.

A

uh You can give a quick intro to everyone over here so that we can get familiar with. You tell us from where you are. What brings you here.

A

We cannot hear you if you're trying to talk, so if you want to just interrupt us as we go right any other newcomer on the call today.

A

I don't see anyone else, okay, so for everyone else on the wall. uh I hope you've added your names to the meeting minutes uh bhavia, you can add your name here too. uh I think you'll have to make a suggestion. I'll accept it over here right. So with that, we can begin with the call today.

A

So the first topic is the new service mesh pattern site. So sugra is on the call sugar. Would you like to take it over from here? Do you have any of the updates to the design that you want to show.

A

Just to confirm, I am audible right.

A

uh Sugar, are you with us, or should I present the screen for you? I have it.

A

For those who don't know what this is, uh we are trying to build a new website for uh service mesh patterns dedicated to only service mesh buttons and sugra has taken up the initiative of designing this website from scratch. So we saw a part of his update last week and it will be a four page site for now. So I think we were yet to see the updates on the other pages.

A

If sugra comes live, I think he can take it on from here.

C

uh Yes, I am, am I audible.

B

C

Okay, so I can just share the screen.

B

C

Is the screen visible.

B

It is yes, it is specific.

C

Okay, okay, so I think lee is not here, so I'm I'll just continue. So this was the last week's update which, where I had done, the home page and a lot of inputs were given regarding the design, the first initial beginning of the design.

C

So the first thing that was asked me to do was a footer, so lee just gave these things to put in the footer the resources section, and I had done the same and regarding the newsletter, this is similar to the layer 5 design, which we have just it's a mailing list, because he mentioned putting mailing list.

C

So I put- and I thought, to put the icons of layer, 5, slack etcetera, because I saw that these were present in nighthawk or other websites, also regardless of like they are not having like they were, redirect to the layer 5 only so this can be taken advice upon from everybody coming to the book chapters.

C

uh This section, I is mostly inspired from the current book chapter, which is there. So uh this is just expand and collapse. View of the book chapter thing basic one, um and here is a cta for it. In the end, uh if, if you suggest, then I can put it in the beginning also- and the categories will show up here- I don't know why it's not showing up here, but it was supposed to show up some pro diving issue. I think wait a minute.

C

Yes, so it was it like it's like this, so not too much of scroll, but I thought that we can just also we can improvise on this, like how everybody wants it. Everybody has any anybody has any inputs on it on it. So, uh coming back to the thing regarding the authors page, I decided to go with the simple thing. This background was from the service mesh pattern only and will, with all the details and the links put up here and layer 5 and a link to join these layer, 5 slack so yeah.

C

This was about.

C

I had some doubts regarding that, whether we, if we come to the this section, then I as said that there is a fourth page, but I think it will be a five page, so reviews uh whether it be another page or whether I think it would be good if we include the reviews in the home page, because it will improve the impression of the book if you have, if you show good reviews in the home page, maybe also here, I had kept two pages regarding layer, 5 and authors, but lee said to make it one page that is okay, but then we have to make it one page, so we can choose either of them.

C

Maybe we can choose the author one and we can show them the layer. Five in the bottom. Anything can be done and uh pattern in action. This page is yet to be made by me. This is the mostly where we will be explaining mystery and how how that how, by reading service mesh patterns, we can easily use uh measuri and we can try measuring after reading service mesh pattern book. So I think this is it's dedicated to that thing and yeah. This is my update regarding this week.

C

A

So this is open for feedback for everyone on the coil. Yes, so.

C

A couple of the prototype link in the chat so that everyone can just have a look.

A

So a couple of feedback from my end.

C

A minute, please, I'm just posting it.

B

C

A

You stop sharing.

C

uh Yes, I am because my zoom window was not opening for some reason: okay wait times, I can share yes,.

A

Right so on the second page, if you come to the second page, yes, I think the design has a lot of button like things. Even the categories are like the main menus. Even the call out is a button, so I think a variation in the design will be good, like the category need not be like the green button sort of design. It could be something else since these are. This is a drop down if you click in the yeah okay, so I think this will need a little bit of variation more than too much screen.

A

uh It's like the same design for every part, the call out the call out uh can be a separate section. It doesn't have to be just a button. The call to action can, if you take a look at a couple of call to actions on the lea 5 website. It usually has like an image, and maybe a caption, to go with it. Something like that, because this page will only have these uh like the index of the book.

C

About this, one, like this yeah.

A

Okay, a call to action could be a different design, okay and yeah. Otherwise this is inspired from the current patents page. So that's all right, but you can change the categories and the call to action over here.

B

A

And about the reviews on the home page, I think it's a good idea at the end of the because, right now the home page doesn't have a lot of content. So if you're, having a separate page for about the authors and about the about layer 5, then the views on the home page sounds like good to me. You can add images in those review in the review section as well. Maybe images of the companies or the images of the author all.

C

A

C

Or companies anyone yeah.

A

So that is okay and I think we lose a link from the navbar since you've merged two pages into one. Maybe you could add a link like an anchor link to the home page uh where we have the review section like you, will merge, meet the authors and about layer five right. So, yes,.

C

A

C

Like I thinking that about layer, 5 should come under meet the authors only like when, because.

B

C

5 is quite evident from everything, so maybe we can put the layer 5 in meet the authors and we can put if reviews is another separate page. That is also a thing.

A

Okay, so that's all that comes to my mind as of now any other piece of feedback, anyone else in the call feel free to like, since this is a site, we are designing from scratch. Your inputs, like please, uh be critical about this.

D

On the chapters page, you can make the list like the one we have in the learn. Learning part like I've seen a link. This is an open.

C

Learn layer, 5.

D

The learning path um in the layer, 5 website we have a list of courses and chapters you can make it like them. This chapter.

B

D

I've also shared a link, so it will be easier for you to look at it.

C

In the chat you have shared.

D

A

uh There's another piece of feedback by lee on chat.

A

So a separate section for technical reviewers on the about page, I think we lost sugar. Is he here.

C

B

I'm just checking this thing.

C

Yes, what section? Okay in the chat! It is not.

A

Reserved for technical reviewers are distinct from reviewers on the about page.

B

A

Any other feedback for sugar.

A

Right so uh I think, by the end of this week, we'll have at least two of these pages ready. uh Patents in action is something that you have to work on, and I think we talked about it in the last call uh about adding the mobile views in the design as well.

C

Oh, that thing completely went up my mind. We are starting that I have completed.

A

Okay and one more thing in the footer, I think, like the proportion of the content in the footer, is not like, I think, on the two sides of it it's too empty and in between we have a long list of resources.

A

We could spread it out a little bit.

B

A

The discussion forum- I don't think it's there like it- doesn't have to be just resources right. We can add other links over here as well.

E

A

Just spread it out a little bit uh right now, like the middle part of it, looks too concentrated with content.

C

I'll just reduce the side, panning the side, padding I'll, reduce it. Then it might it.

A

Okay, no, it's still uh like what I'm saying is. We only have like resources, a big chunk of links only under resources. Yes, you'll also need uh links to the discussion forum and other sorts of link as well like on the layer, 5 different categories of items in the footer right, so maybe not all of them, but right now this looks a little bit disproportionate to me like.

C

uh Yes, then, I have to like reduce the padding then like. If I reduce the padding, then space will come and then we can have another set of thing like this.

A

Oh yeah, so just spread it out a little.

B

C

Also uh add any links if it has to be added in the footer, then I can make it or just mark. The website, like I saw that there is a different in like um like community solutions and companies. These three values and layer, five and mesherie and nighthawk also had similar, but I did not know which one to put in here. So that was the thing I think resources and getting start getting started will be there. I think and community, maybe.

A

uh Under patterns, you can have a brief description of what patterns are.

B

Description: okay,.

A

All right, any any other piece of any other feedback for sugar.

C

There are a couple of in the chat. I will just note them down.

F

Yeah there's one from sedash in the chat. That's I'm worth mulling over and.

A

Okay, so another thing is this: design will be ready by this week. I'm hoping.

F

A

A signal on the website's channel once it's ready, it's reviewed and it's approved and uh I think a couple of people volunteered on the last call to uh take this forward and nikhil has initiated the site as well.

A

uh So we can assign different components to different people who want to take it up uh the photo to someone the banner to someone so uh like for people on the call, if you can add your names in if you want to volunteer to this I'll, create issues later on after this call, maybe or once the design is approved and it's finalized for the different components, and you can take it forward from there, we can assign it to different people. So if you want, you can add your names in the meeting minutes itself over here.

A

uh If you have any preference of the components you want to do or something you've already started working on. Please add your names over here and I'll, assign you in the issues that I'll create.

F

Then did you guys already cover nikhil's recent efforts on getting the the site and the repository initialized.

A

Not yet uh I can talk about it.

G

As of now, the site is hosted.

G

We are basically using the domain provided by setup to host your site because you don't have a domain registered separately for service which patents but yeah. It is using gatsby as a basic framework since it required like I saw. We have multiple pages and there has there's no much comfort.

G

uh You know moving things around or switch and cat speed is best for static sites as such as what happens, because otherwise we would have any received paging pagination for the different pages that we have and compared to the actual ic using gatsby or next year's is much better to use. You know separate trading pages as such, like the simplicity of creating a pages folder and creating each js pages page page.

G

So we have the gas beside the framework similar to what we have for layer, 5.

G

That is, you know: sec divided the code into sections and components. We have yes, your cockpit as well to take care of the seo part which will use react helmet to add the necessity and headers and stuff.

G

We have all the things in place with the workflows already implemented. Just two tokens need to be added and we will have all the things happen. The designs are the only thing which are left as such once those are complete. I think they should be up and going with the ears they also for each.

G

That's it if anyone wants to take a look at the code, it is under the site directory.

A

There are a couple of volunteers on chat. If you guys could please add it in the meeting minutes as well will be very helpful, otherwise I'll take a look at that and add it in later.

G

They have already volunteered for two sections like the nav bar. I think it is fine and the hero section has a problem with which so I'll ask them to one of like pull up to take dinner and hop into taking hero section. Considering the reviews for later section once those are complete, people can take up for them.

G

Although it is still better to add it in the reading, it's a better.

F

Yeah on those same lines as one thing that I've found helpful is that a lot of times people might overlook meeting minutes and, um while they're looking in the designs, some, if it makes sense, you might list people's names toward a section, um not everyone that signs up completes their work or as different things happen. They get busy or what have you, but um but sometimes that'll help with avoiding duplicative work.

F

But yeah kamal has raised his hand. Nikhil's name. Is there implicitly um and yeah? I can't imagine that if, as the pages get done and some of the work is split out, I imagine there's any number of folks on the call that might that'll probably put their hand hands on it somewhere.

F

Maybe it's just a small portion, maybe it's just a bug fix or something, but since we're talking about it as much as we are, as I suspect.

B

Yeah people, but.

F

This would be one of the most complete uh book websites that I've seen they're, usually just like a page and they've got a couple of sections and and if it has more than three sections, it's like a highly curated page like a very well done book page.

F

So so this yeah, I'm not sure people will know what to think wait. Wait. A second is this.

F

The exciting part for me is the well is like the inactions page, which I'm really hoping reinforces other work that you all have done with respect to some of you have written or will write blog posts about on patterns or designs or um things that you can do with measuring um some of you have worked on the mastery catalog and where do you keep sort of living patterns um because those designs evolve over time, probably in the catalog you get to share them there, um and so any number of you have worked on the catalog and are still working on that meshry.I o slash catalog, so it'll reinforce that'll, reinforce work that you've done and measure ui it'll, be like I mean it's nice because it ends up tying a lot of things together.

F

Maybe you've worked on nighthawk or like their patterns for performance, their pa, their patterns for basically, all the things you all are have covered so so yeah. So I'm excited for well media that we don't seem to it's funny, because we we do a lot of video. Most of you uh about half of you have your webcams on right. Now, that's fantastic!

F

It's really nice to interchange with you all, and so video is certainly something that we highly encourage and use it's just that it works very well for our community and for people understanding if, if lee's just kidding or if he's or he's trying to make a terrible joke or if he's actually upset or what, what what's going on with lee like that's hard to decipher, sometimes and uh but we don't seem to use too much video for showing off the works that you all have done like showing off mesherie is the you know the biggest one but um and all of the things inside of measuring actually, and so we get a bad score on that and that's a hindrance to adoption.

F

Mastery.Io should really have more video anyway. So that's why I'm excited about the actions page, because I think it'll we'll get a video clip or a couple of animated um gifs things that are short recordings of how patterns work so.

B

A

Thank you. Thank you.

F

Okay, so yeah. Actually, since it's been a while I'm sorry today, since I've asked that is just on the off chance that any of you are into video editing um with premiere or after effects or imovie or but if you're in. If, if that's an area of comfort for you, then there's a lot of things to do so.

A

uh Another thing likely match it: you can add uh gifs and screenshots from mercury as well on the patterns in action page. So just a note, you can add it perfect.

C

Yes, uh I was given a couple of content by lee, so I will add those in the patterns and action. Page too. It's basically. I think that after reading the book, what how people will use the mystery website or the application, so that is more regarding it, so I will make it like that.

C

Okay, I had one small small query. uh This thing.

B

A second one minute, please.

C

Okay, so uh which of these portions will be keeping like this one um devopria has said but other than this any other questions. Are there like resources? Community or you know, is there already resources, but community solutions?

C

These portions will be keeping.

C

Also regarding these sections, these social icons- I have just kept random, just checking surveying out the nighthawk.

C

uh Am I audible.

B

C

So clarification regarding this would be good because.

F

Sure yeah yeah, which ones to include and which ones yeah right right yep, they definitely there'll, be some overlap, but a lot of underlap as well, um and so two of the yeah. Just very quick, we'll get the we'll write down the list, but very quickly, two of the ones that um deborah priya had mentioned the discussion forum and the slack.

F

Those are two that are great to call out first class as being resources to people.

C

Yes, those are also in the ctas.

B

A

And linked to the projects has been mystery. Mesh map.

A

All right, so, thank you, sugar. Let's move on to the next topic now sahil is not here, then we'll ping him uh I'll just quickly show some of my topics over here. So uh I I yeah so for the events thing that I was assigned to uh like for posted events for now. I've just added a form over here itself, but uh for like a hosted events, do we need a separate template for this?

A

Like I have added like a front panel field me click to uh distinguish between which ones are the ones we want the form to show up on and we'll probably do one event at a time, one upcoming event at a time. So I have also I I think I was successful in doing the make side of things as well, aditya or nikhil. You can check it out if I missed out on anything, but it's working, I like the emails and everything is working uh just for the design like.

A

uh Is it as simple as the form or do we need a separate uh layout for our self-hosted events?.

F

Yeah looks good to me, or I don't think so. If that's confusing like that looks great, and I don't know that we would need to necessarily capture anything else for an event. If you wanted to get fancy or or if people, if you someone wanted to change it, it might be as you register that you'd also register like a plus one or a plus, two just a guest that you might be bringing, but that doesn't really for our virtual events, like a workshop that we might hold virtually.

F

It wouldn't really change anything for us. It isn't very helpful and they don't you're not asked for information about that guest. So um um it might be that oh did you want to receive a free copy of one of the books that we've written, um but even then that doesn't really no. We, I think changing. It, would only make it more complex, like it's really like like.

F

If we want to send them a free book based on the fact they registered for a service centric workshop, then we should just send it to them and they're upset with us for sending them a free book. Then oops, but um but it otherwise, the it's actually works out very well that the forum here that you're showing is verbatim for I think it's all the same fields. This might be the same, but it's like one or two less fields than the other instances where we've used the form that uniformity.

F

How many times can I say, form in one sentence that uniformity makes things sustainable and it reduces bugs, and it makes it such that you as a single where it used to take two or three of us, dabo priya stepped up and did the form the back end processing for the form and then the email or two that goes out based on the form coming through so and that make that's made possible because well it wasn't too much of a lift.

F

It wasn't too heavy of a lift for you to do the form since it what there weren't a lot of special considerations, the less the less considerations we can make. Probably the better.

A

So for the mail trim, part of it uh we'll have to change like the emails for every event right because we'll send out email specific, but I think you mentioned that we'll host events like once a month so that'll be okay, so I'm yet to create a customer journey because I don't have an email yet, but uh once we like have an event, we can start with that and later on, we can.

F

So, by the way that that's just for some of you that are on the call you're like. Oh I, what like um we just mentioned, mailchimp, we just mentioned well, we just quickly said make or make dot com.

F

So let me explain a couple of a little bit of this real briefly, because I don't think a lot of you have necessarily heard this before. There are other areas of contribution open to you. There are many any number of communities that talk about non-code contributions as being important and they are- and there are many such things here, um more I'll submit to you, maybe more than any organization that looks like layer. 5 things are more open than things are pretty open.

F

And that's to say that there's a work that goes on for crafting emails when to send them what they look like, what they should say, the terrible tool that we've chosen for that is mailchimp, and so there are a couple of mailchimp accounts that there's I don't know between the two of them. There's probably four 000 people signed up they're tagged in different ways. um Josh has been helping um curate those lists, uh so there's work that goes on in there.

F

If that is of interest to you, talk to deborah priya, we use um so some of you may or may not be wondering how it is that a static content site that's run on github pages, like layer 5 is actively processing a form. Doesn't that take like a server-side process listening to that to jeez it's early in the morning, so I can only think of the word process again there fine, I said it.

F

There needs to be another process to process the form and so yep um the cncf has given us a zapier account that could be used for such things. We don't we use zapier for other things, we've been using integromat or make.com to do server-side, processing and some simple.

B

F

Which is pretty neat, and so there's work that goes on in there or there's there's a fair bit of work that goes on in there. Deborah priya can tell you that and nikhil can tell you and the dt can tell you and there's that there's a list of folks who've worked on these um and there's more to be done as a matter of fact, there's um something very explicitly to be done there in mesherie cloud. When you go to sign up right now, you can just click on one of four social authentication buttons.

F

We need to be able to receive someone's email address and password as an option if they want to use an email address and password or if they want to do a social sign up either way. Our issue is that we don't have back-end processing for receiving an email address or a password.

F

Well, while we wait on some of the gophers that are contributing to catch up, perhaps we could process this using make instead make.com um yeah anyway.

B

F

um A lot of places to the workshop that the learning paths that yash had pointed out the workshop that devoprio was showing those are the content within there.

F

Those are areas of need, so we have workshops that we give at a lot of different conferences that we give through o'reilly on istio and lankardi, but not for the rest depend um deepanshu devopria if I didn't like, but she she's writing an article on as a matter of fact. That's another great example is there's articles to be written so depends you bee bisha is just got done. She's in dr screeny bosses on the call tree vasquez has put together. I haven't said her name aloud before so it's tough.

F

Yeah anyway, I started to interject again, I just wanted to say: oh wait. What are these? What are these insiders talking about? I don't know what they're talking about it's like. Well, actually, it's not inside stuff, it's like it's just we don't talk about it as much as we don't. There isn't as much work that goes on there um and if you don't think that they want help on those things then you're mistaken, like they want help on those things. So.

F

A

Okay, so uh talking about resources and blogs, one more thing is uh nikhil recently made a rotational framework for call to actions, and uh I have added like uh for all the collections that we have on the blogs page. I've added the messaging docker extension call out, because in the about the author section, we have the mesh map column and for resources. We have.

A

I think yeah the mesh map with this is block rate.

A

The mesh map call out over here as well, so there's another. There are two more. This is the call to action bottom, one which is common for all the collections, but we could also customize uh callouts in between the content. So there are two more there's one image: only and there's one full width column. So what like? How to put them to use is uh you can link to other articles? Maybe this one is managing containers.

A

I think ashish is writing a blog post on multi-cluster support for messaging, so he doesn't have to include everything about, uh say what is a multi-cluster and everything from scratch?

A

He can just go on the measuring part and again link to this using that call out so uh srinivas and if any one of you here as well, if you are writing blogs, reviewing someone who's written, a blog or anything like that, uh make sure you use this call outs, it'll just increase the internal linking within the site and it looks pretty as well so uh yeah. That was just one thing. I wanted to bring up.

A

uh There's a well written yeah.

F

Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I decided to interrupt again um but edification for me um well boy, I just missed it deborah priya. Did you say that, like that call to action at the bottom of the page that all it that someone who creates an article like this, that they need to consider adding a tag or that it will be automatically added for them.

A

This one is automatically automatically added for all the posts, but.

B

If they want to add.

A

Some other call to actions, they'll have to add it, they don't want to import it or anything. Just in the blog mdx folder, they can uh call the component and edit it.

F

Oh no, okay, it's that easy, okay and so nikhil, and you and others had recently put together this framework for easy and easy, like creation and sort of easy insertion of call to actions in different in the articles and blog posts and the reason that you've done. That is not only so that there's kind of a uniform framework and things become a little bit easier to insert, but that so that these actions can be rotated over time centrally without having to go to every single page and update every single page to change.

F

What that is, is that no doubt we've got small instructions inside the contributor guide now about how that's done, and just on just on this slide the wee off chance that maybe that isn't there, I thought I would call it out as.

A

A set of instructions which okay, very well written.

F

Oh okay, maybe I should go read all right. Okay sounds good.

A

So uh yeah that was all from me uh is sahil on the call now.

A

Early, do you have a link to the design he was working on, like the figma link.

F

Well, he was working on a different area of of the layer 5 website, so the the portion that he was working on has to do with integrations that mesherie has and so on. The measuring, it's probably probably fairly small, and I apologize that you can't resize things in figma like this anyway, um but on the the mystery project. Page here is a link to integration, a couple of integration pages that he was working towards.

F

So here's the the mastery project pages there's there were initially about three of them, just kind of one: that's an overview of the project and one on like how it works or how to install it and how how it works. What it all does um mobile views for those, then we, then we worked a bunch of you worked on like super dip, worked on the docker extension for meshri, which has been really popular by the way.

F

Docker sends us a on a weekly basis sends us how many people are freshly, uh how many new users there are for the extension and how many return users there are.

F

There's been a nice spike, a big spike of people trying out mesherie because of that so for sahil suman he's been working on these integration pages whoops to let people know that measuring integrates with kubernetes and helm, and all these service meshes and one of the things that I don't know that he has accounted for yet is kind of this request here about um outside of having buttons that operate as filters for filtering out specific categories of integrations that another way of looking at this would be by just sorting all of them, probably by default by most popular and then either.

F

So it could be a drop down or something so there's an overview page that he's worked on for what all those integrations look like and, and hopefully it's somewhat interactive and a bit more sleek than some of the other pages you find elsewhere.

F

If a user clicks on an individual information wants to learn more well, this is more of an active draft area that he's been working through and getting feedback on and.

A

Do so need that great thing on the individual pages as well, like he's added in all the three.

F

If we do, if we do I'm, um if we do, it could be that kind of like at the end of looking at a blog post, that it would, it might say, related blog posts, and so, if um I think the first answer, your answer to your question is no. We don't necessarily have to have it um if we can't think of anything else or if it's a very short page, maybe we would include it and if you did, it could be just show you integrations that are of the same category like related integrations.

F

So if you were looking at an istio here, um then it might show you the other integrations with other service missions, but no, it doesn't have to be ooh. Video.

F

Does anyone else feel like we might have? This might lean? I mean I hate to say it about the green color, but like a little more of a puke green like um it's not quite there, but it has some aspects and sort of you know. I don't know just some, thank goodness that hill isn't here. We can't be throwing up.

B

On his design zones.

F

uh Anyway, deborah was that about so kamal. Were you the other individual that was doing a bit of collaboration here.

B

I don't remember.

F

But anyway, he has asked for some assistance or feedback on the designs. So comments are welcome. You just press the letter c and you turn into comment mode.

F

Wait hold on oh see, see the the see how much people appreciate comments you just.

B

Okay, all right.

A

Okay, so next up.

A

We have updates from the catalogs by aditya.

B

Yeah yeah I'll just do a quick thing, quick update.

B

uh So recently there were some changes on the catalog page. I have listed all I listed all of them in this pia and yeah, and currently uh we als also working on making the catalog model of flex this model uh using use, flexbox styling, which rohit is working. I think he has to compare all of his uh assigned tags and yeah. That's a quick update like these are the list of changes that that that were added recently and another thing that we that I think is also working on is the responsiveness of the site.

B

Yeah, there's some wacky thing going on here, so yeah yeah. That was it. That was a quick update. I wanted to give. So if anyone has any suggestions or any uh fault that they see from these listed out changes, then they can sure open an issue or ping ping and ping me in website channel.

F

Are we missing on the catalog.

E

um I don't know, I think that covers pretty much of it. We just need more patterns like we should get start getting rid of more of the coming soon and actually have working buttons. There.

F

And we have a uniform framework for the download button and the copy copy link button in terms.

E

Of yeah, in terms of the download you have to upload your own pattern file uh to to a folder and yeah, that's how the download would work and for the copy url you just enter whatever the url is in the dot md file.

F

Okay, there's a modal, for it gives people instructions as to how to do that is that done.

E

uh There's a model in uh there's a model that explains how you're supposed to import your patterns uh to your to the measuring ui and and through measuring ctl, but the other one is just a set of instructions. It's not a model.

F

Okay- maybe we should we should probably be. We should probably be sharing. While we talk about that, let's just look real quick. I was mentioning this catalog earlier in context of the service mesh patterns book site, and so if people go here and they look at a pattern, this is where they would get more.

F

um They can literally get access to the pattern. If someone wanted to add so this yeah, this is still here and um if someone wanted to add it, and then we don't have a click away listener. Yet so I think rohit is maybe working on some of those, but if they wanted to add okay, who got them.

F

Add yours to the catalogs: we create a new issue, so they're creating an issue, not okay.

F

So we're telling people to create an issue to add it to the catalog, but I think you're saying they can upload them, and this is how to you, import them and use them in meshree, and you can do it using the uh so chatterjee we've been over a few of these bugs um yeah.

E

This is a safari specific if you click on it, it works, but the thumbnail is short for some reason. Well, it's small for some reason.

F

And the white here and then yeah, whether it's safari or a hot or like I mean.

B

F

Yeah so there's a there's, a few items: do you know who's following up on those uh yeah? I think.

E

B

And monique is doing that uh model thing for the video thing: monique malodra, I guess yeah, oh okay, yeah.

F

Gotcha yeah and then keep going.

E

And then for uh the issue like here when you click on add yours to the catalog, it opens an issue uh yeah. I was actually planning to add a set of instructions to the read me and link it to that instead, so that, like you, had suggested so that people can act, people can go ahead and put in their pattern instead of uh them. Opening up an issue for the maintainers to take a look at.

F

It might be nice if that, if there was um some some symmetry between the two links where this one opens a modal, maybe this one would open a modal as well.

F

That would do more or less take that same description that you would have in the readme and say: hey you know, patterns new designs are always welcome um to get yours listed, such as it doesn't have to give the entire explanation, but just sort of a brief um instruction or be letting people know that there's a the process involves making a pr and here's a link to create a new issue.

B

Okay, it's nice.

F

Wow, what is this all about?.

F

Yeah, I'm just somebody was playing around with um css all right good. So our is all of that covered that that last bit that we just talked about um who's doing that.

E

I'll do that today.

F

Oh okay, all right! I think that covers it.

A

Okay, uh okay leonard, I think I found a bug for the search component since you're on the call I thought I pointed out to you directly. So if you.

B

A

One of these pages, like uh anything apart from one and then when you search for something it gives you a blank page and everything goes away. So this is something you can take a look at if not directly. You can create an issue for this. Maybe someone else can take.

A

Okay, uh next up from ashley ui sugradi, you can go next. You want to share your screen.

A

F

Yeah, you and you and the rest of the city have joined.

F

Yeah go ahead, we can hear you.

B

E

I was working on this uh design phase and mission design postcard, so I have created the pr last two or three years back. uh Yes, already reviews this, but I'm waiting for the review. That's uh this one! Okay! So this is the current situation of this card. So this is working fine. Actually, there is no data, so that's why it's not showing anything. It's just have some buttons and just flip your flip cutter.

B

E

Any review for this.

D

One like uh I can show the card you have made. I've used it in my pr. So let me share my screen.

B

D

So I think this is the card you made right. It just misses the design uh pattern cycle and I've used it in one of my pr I'm working on this is the patterns page and modal. I have to I don't know what bug is this? I? It was working fine an hour ago either, and I've also added the list. You know, and I've also worked on the applications page, I'm keeping applications page on hold right now, because there's also a lot of work going on in the master branch.

D

So it's pretty much the same and the one thing we can't find is a code mirror. uh We have to use who our code mirror is uh libraries. We have been using in the master branch, but it doesn't work with the react. 17. we tried looking uh looking into the action code, mirror.

D

Yeah um this this package, but it doesn't work well, I tried it, but.

D

uh It it only shows the white blank page, it doesn't pick the mode schemes modem theme, so I don't think we can use it. So we need a replacement for the uh replacement for this package.

D

And- and I have also worked on the settings- switch drop down- I don't have it working right now, but this is the screenshot. You might be interested and worked on the cards of the life cycle page. I just think I wanted to ask. Everyone is currently using a sample data like this, but in the master branch we are using filtered off so should we merge it with a sample or first should we make the filtered office.

D

F

Positions: yeah gosh. I wasn't able to keep up necessarily and there's one. This is a side note, there's one as the card is initially drawn, it seems that the full screen icon wants to display first, just as you initially load the page, I don't know if that's something within your control or not it didn't it didn't do it. Just then, not that I could see.

F

But so anyway,.

F

Yeah so yeah, I don't know that I've got great. I don't. We definitely need a theme because, like the colors of the buttons are fine but but not no are not those but the uh uh grid and table uh anyway. I'm looking forward to reviewing that theme, so you'll you'll facilitate that at some point soon.

F

Very soon um did we cover dark mode on the layer, five io site on today's call.

D

No, I think, uh because there's nothing to show now it's ready to review the last change of the that we have to set the default theme as a dark. It's also being done now and ready for review in the latest vr, so yeah, okay,.

F

So we're pretty much there. Okay, it might be time it might be time to merge and have light mode as the default give the dark mode some time to work out some of its if, whatever whatever remaining kinks it may or may not have, or just to help other people get their eyeballs on it in advance of potentially switching to dark mode as the default.

F

D

Yeah, okay, so I will set it to white. I just have to change one line for it and then it will be ready.

F

Guys, the video that's on the main page. I wonder it has a white background. I wonder how that looks in dark mode. I haven't looked yet yeah.

F

This is josh. I didn't mean to cut off your review there. I just were low on time and I wasn't sure that yeah.

F

But josh, where can where can I find the theme or how can I start reviewing.

F

He might have stepped away, maybe I'll chase him down.

A

Right, uh okay and harshet, I think we'll have to go over the uh instructions that you uh set up. That will need some work because, since like the entire theme is changing, we'll have to be very clear about how to like take care of the conventions, so it has to be very clear. The last time I reviewed it, wasn't that clear, uh we'll have to be a little more elaborate and give examples wherever possible. Like for the svg point, I don't know if I I haven't reviewed today uh for the svg point.

A

uh Like the second point, I think uh we'll have to show exactly how to use different text, which is how to fill the colors and everything. So uh I can sit with you uh if you need any help or once you're done with like the final version. From your end, just ping me again and put like I'll directly commit. Let's see.

D

Yeah, I I think uh changed that the whatever you said, invest lack also. I think that they also suggested some changes in that I changed some of them. I set an example. Also there you know, I think three of them on a gad spa. I think we need more examples, but, uh yes, uh okay, we will look at that. Okay,.

A

Okay, uh great, then, I think we've covered all the topics for today uh right. Thank you all for joining today. We'll see you all next week. We are six minutes over time. So thank you for staying back as well.

A

D

Bye. Thank you.
