Weekly Check-in for Code-In, #1

[jywarren]

Hi everybody 😃 !

If you're new here, welcome, and please try some of our first-timers-only issues. This is a check-in for recent new contributors and mentors, and across the Code-In and Outreachy groups! @publiclab/mentors

We had some great new contributions this past week from a lot of new faces, including:

@thesparks, @faithngetich, @holykol, @mohitRJranjan, @kopecs, @Radhikadua123, @milaaraujo, @kanikashrivastav, @LonghornRach, @kevinzluo (including some familiar faces too!)

We're SO EXCITED to have your help!

I know a lot of you have been around for these Check-ins, but they're a tradition we started this past summer, with @stefannibrasil @Gauravano @ViditChitkara @tech4GT @mridulnagpal @namangupta01 @sagarpreet-chadha @Souravirus @jywarren @MayankKashyap @siaw23 @ryzokuken @ccpandhare @icarito @steviepubliclab @ebarry @publiclab/reviewers

What is your plan for this week?

If you have not planned yet, just leave a Hello! so that we know that you are in sync with us 🔃 and doing well!

Google Code-In

We're in our second week (?) of Code-In and it's been a huge amount of energy. What went well or poorly?

One that was highlighted by @milaaraujo was that people have had trouble installing, and we need more mentors to help out there. @milaaraujo made this excellent issue to try to get GCI students to provide mutual support, and have a public conversation rather than get stuck in the GCI task in a one-on-one discussion. We can all learn from each others's mistakes!

#3840

Bottlenecks

In this spirit, where can we direct more mentor energy? What's stuck?

Also, what is going well? Let's celebrate!

I for one have truly enjoyed seeing so much mutual support in all the issues. And great friendliness 😄 🎉

The coming weeks will be absolutely full of code 💻 , tasks 🗒️, fun 🎉 and excitement 😃!!

As always, if you're waiting for a review, or if you're stuck, please request help here OR leave a comment with @publiclab/mentors for some input. 🙌

Have a GREAT week 🎉 !

Thank you !

PS - who among mentors would like to volunteer to post this next week? Please leave a comment below!

Hello everyone. This year we are working really well in both GCI and Outreachy. Every week we will elect one person for weekly checkins. The person has to close the issue and open a new one for the next week. Generally we do this on every Sunday or Monday throughout the timeline of the programs going on at pl. Folks are requested to participate in these interactions and tell about what's their week plan. I will like to do this job so that new mentors and students will know about its workflow. All gci students are requested to ask doubts if they face any difficulty on the gitter chat. This week I will publish the remaining tasks on gci dashboard.

Hi everyone 😃

Improvement Scope: Some of the issues posted on GCI dashboard are abandoned frequently, so mentors can go an extra mile and try to simplify that task further if they observe this behaviour.

Thank you all the @publiclab/community-reps and @publiclab/mentors for working hard for Google Code-In. Have a happy 💻 🎉 week ahead!

[Radhikadua123]

Hi everyone,

This week I plan to finish up #3763 and start work on #3762 PR. Other than that, I'll be working on improving my outreachy proposal based on community reviews.

Thanks!

[Paarmita]

Hello everyone,

This week I will be checking the GCI tasks, helping the candidates and uploading some new simpler issues as well.

Thanks!

[Souravirus]

Hi everyone, nice work by everyone in this week of GCI. I am currently reviewing various tasks of GCI students. I will also be creating some easy tasks for GCI.

[avsingh999]

Hi everyone,
This week I will add issues for GCI candidate and for other users. I am currently reviewing some GCI task
thanks :)

[shivani-kapania]

Hey everyone!
This week I plan on reviewing some GCI tasks, assign more tasks to myself and create a few beginner tasks.

Thanks!!

[rbhatia46]

Hi everyone!
This week I look forward to reviewing more GCI tasks, assign myself more issues and work on adding a bit more beginner issues to the GCI dashboard.

Thanks!

[jywarren]

Hi everyone! I've seen some great supportive mentoring this week. Thanks! I think there are some issues and PRs where people have still asked a question and haven't heard back from a mentor yet. So perhaps if you aren't sure how to help out, you can browse through `gci-candidate` issues and see if there people who are stuck awaiting input -- and the same with pull requests! Thanks again for your help!!!

Hi, all! As more people need support while installing, i changed the task description to this:

Install and successfully setup plots2 on your local machine. Submit a screenshot of publiclab running on localhost.

Share the issues you encounter along the way and help others solve theirs.

See this issue for guidance, and to cooperate with others who are also 
working on this task: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/3840

Report back at the above issue once you succeed, to encourage others and share what worked for you!

and i expanded the installation issue a lot to provide more cooperation and mutual support: #3840

Is someone interested in doing this week's Check-In? You can follow (copy! modify!) the template I created above (which i borrowed from others myself! 🙌 )

[SidharthBansal]

Let's give us this chance to new GCI mentors this time.
@publiclab/mentors just close this issue and open up a new one for the Week 2.

[Rishabh-Kumar-Bothra]
