| mahatic | right. IRC bouncers help you keep updated to an extent | 13:23 |
|---|---|---|
| fatema_ | so I had sometimes to wait but other times people from closer timezoness were available | 13:23 |
| * mahatic wonders if the bot's back | 13:23 | |
| fatema_ | meetings with the mentor were organized in my late and her early -too early I guess xD- | 13:24 |
| mahatic | :) | 13:24 |
| *** openstackstatus has joined #openstack-outreachy | 13:24 | |

| mahatic | I'm glad it worked out | 13:24 |
| mahatic | Do you have any feedback regarding the program, meeting frequency or in general any comments? | 13:25 |
| fatema_ | mmm... | 13:25 |
| fatema_ | I expected reviews to be faster in the beginning | 13:25 |
| fatema_ | But in working cycle it is not as fast as for small projects | 13:26 |
| fatema_ | so It took me a while to realize the pace that work goes by | 13:26 |
| fatema_ | but as a total I'd say the program is very cool and all went very well | 13:27 |
| mahatic | I see. Sometimes pinging the person, from whom you're expecting a review, helps. Also if it's around release time, it's common for reviewers to be a bit more busy | 13:28 |
| mahatic | great! :) | 13:29 |
| mahatic | thank you fatema_ ! | 13:29 |
| mahatic | ajya: would you like to go next? | 13:29 |
| fatema_ | Thank you :D | 13:29 |
| ajya | yes | 13:29 |
| ajya | my internship was great as well | 13:29 |
| ajya | I was working on Ironic part to add new features to Redfish client called sushy. Redfish is new standard to manage bare-metal servers (instead of virtual servers). | 13:30 |
| ajya | There were some main tasks I worked on, but along the way had some small patches for things noticed. | 13:30 |
| ajya | Also communicated with ppl from DMTF who is maintaining the Redfish standard as there were some things to clarify. | 13:31 |
| ajya | Did not manage to finish everything as initially some things were not anticipated and now there are some patches in review, but first ones are merged. | 13:31 |
| ajya | Any help I needed I got from my mentors, we had weekly concall, also in Ironic IRC channel other contributors were helpful. | 13:32 |
| mahatic | that's great! :) | 13:33 |
| mahatic | what are timezone are you in? | 13:33 |
| ajya | I learned a lot - Python and Redfish standard. Also had to touch licensing | 13:33 |
| ajya | in summer I'm UTC+3 | 13:33 |
| mahatic | where are you based? | 13:33 |
| ajya | My mentors are in UTC+2 so there were no issues, there were some contributors from US but usually in my afternoon they were available | 13:34 |
| ajya | I'm in Rīga, Latvia | 13:34 |
| mahatic | ah okay, that's nice :) | 13:34 |
| mahatic | Did you have to contribute mainly to Ironic? | 13:34 |
| mahatic | or other external projects as well? | 13:35 |
| ajya | not really, I didn't touch Ironic, but sushy which is used by Ironic | 13:35 |
| mahatic | could you expand DMTF? | 13:35 |
| mahatic | okay, you mention they maintain Redfish standard :) | 13:37 |
| mahatic | glad to know you had a good experience. Do you have any feedback or comments? | 13:37 |
| dtantsur | Distributed Management Task Force | 13:37 |
| dtantsur | https://www.dmtf.org/about | 13:38 |
| ajya | thanks dtantsur :) | 13:38 |
| dtantsur | basically, a standard body | 13:38 |
| mahatic | thanks! | 13:38 |
| dtantsur | np :) | 13:38 |
| ajya | no feedback, everything was great, I was warned at the very beginning that code reviews can take a long time so no surprises there | 13:38 |
| mahatic | :) good job mentors! | 13:39 |
| dtantsur | :) | 13:39 |
| mahatic | let's move on to mentors | 13:39 |
| mahatic | #topic mentors' feedback | 13:39 |
| mahatic | Mentors, do you have any feedback or comments? | 13:40 |
| mahatic | Or in general would like to hear your experience as well :) | 13:40 |
| mahatic | looks like dtantsur is alone here | 13:41 |
| mahatic | would you like to share your experience? | 13:41 |
| mahatic | dtantsur: are you still here? | 13:44 |
| dtantsur | ooops, sorry | 13:44 |
| dtantsur | got distracted :) | 13:44 |
| dtantsur | mmm, I don't have much feedback. it was my first outreachy, and it was fun | 13:45 |
| dtantsur | I was quite nervous in the beginning, maybe as nervous as the interns :) | 13:45 |
| mahatic | heh :) | 13:45 |
| dtantsur | for the future I'd like to emphasize the importance of communication | 13:45 |
| dtantsur | ajya did it really well btw :) | 13:45 |
| mahatic | I'm really glad to know that you had used conf calls to communicate | 13:45 |
| dtantsur | yeah, I highly recommend that to everyone | 13:46 |
| mahatic | +1 | 13:46 |
| dtantsur | obviously, it's not that easy when you're doing -2/+8 TZ :) | 13:46 |
| mahatic | :) yup! | 13:46 |
| ajya | thanks dtantsur | 13:47 |
| mahatic | but when possible, conf calls can be very helpful and effective | 13:47 |
| dtantsur | yeah, right | 13:47 |
| dtantsur | and they add human aspect to the process | 13:47 |
| mahatic | absolutely | 13:48 |
| fatema_ | dtantsur, True [Y] | 13:48 |
| mahatic | thank you dtantsur for mentoring this round! Hope to see you in the next round as well. | 13:48 |
| dtantsur | it's quite possible :) I did not talk with Ilya about it yet | 13:48 |
| mahatic | ah great :) | 13:49 |
| mahatic | I'd like to add a couple of things for interns | 13:49 |
| mahatic | If you're interested in attending Berlin OpenStack summit and would like to have some funding, please apply here https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Travel_Support_Program | 13:50 |
| mahatic | fatema_: I believe you're still in graduation? | 13:50 |
| mahatic | ajya: What's next for you? would you be looking for a job? | 13:51 |
| fatema_ | mahatic, yes I still have one year in college -> 2 semesters | 13:51 |
| * dtantsur is (newly) local to Berlin in case somebody has questions | 13:51 | |
| ajya | mahatic, yes, I will have to do it | 13:51 |
| mahatic | Summit will be a great place to get in touch with employers and express your interest. | 13:52 |
| fatema_ | mahatic, actually I applied for the summit - Kendall told me about it- | 13:52 |
| fatema_ | and my talk was accepted | 13:52 |
| mahatic | and meanwhile continued open source contributions will help you gain more experience | 13:53 |
| fatema_ | I am to speak with Geetika, she was an intern in Outreachy 2015 | 13:53 |
| mahatic | fatema_: congratulations! :) | 13:53 |
| fatema_ | and still waiting for travel support reply | 13:53 |
| fatema_ | mahatic, thank you | 13:54 |
| mahatic | good luck! | 13:54 |
| dtantsur | ++ | 13:54 |
| mahatic | samueldmq: do you have anything to add? | 13:54 |
| fatema_ | dtantsur, I think if I made it to the summit I'd need your expertise | 13:54 |
| samueldmq | mahatic: well, not really. all internships look great | 13:55 |
| samueldmq | just wanted to say thanks to all interns and mentors, it's a great challenge to increase representation in tech of the underrepresented groups | 13:55 |
| mahatic | OpenStack summit will be a great opportunity to meet people you've worked with in person :) | 13:55 |
| samueldmq | even if we don't realize it's a huge problem and we're helping a little bit :) | 13:56 |
| dtantsur | fatema_: sure, ping me on irc or dtantsur (at) redhat.com | 13:56 |
| samueldmq | mahatic: ++ matching people's face + irc name + real name is an interesting thing that happens at summits | 13:56 |
| mahatic | yup :) | 13:57 |
| mahatic | thank you samueldmq | 13:57 |
| fatema_ | dtantsur, thank you for the efforts and the chance | 13:57 |
| mahatic | #topic open discussion | 13:57 |
| mahatic | If you'd like to discuss anything that hasn't been discussed yet, please bring it up | 13:58 |
| mahatic | looks like there isn't much else | 13:59 |
| fatema_ | I'd like to ask how did you make it to be coordinator/mentor? | 13:59 |
| mahatic | ah :) | 13:59 |
| mahatic | For being a mentor, you could come up with an idea in the project you're working on after gaining some experience and apply for mentorship in the Outreachy portal | 14:00 |
| fatema_ | oh Time is up, I understand if you have other things :D | 14:00 |
| mahatic | https://www.outreachy.org/ | 14:00 |
| dtantsur | It was Ilya's idea, it never came to my mind for some reason :) But then it was obvious: we like mentoring people, and we badly need people for sushy (it's a hot topic, but very few permanent contributors). | 14:00 |
| mahatic | fatema_: it's a good question, let's tackle that :) | 14:01 |
| mahatic | dtantsur: awesome! | 14:01 |
| fatema_ | so you become a core contributor first ? | 14:01 |
| mahatic | that's not necessary | 14:01 |
| mahatic | either you have some experience with the project and have an idea or like dtantsur mentioned, if you're in need of more contributors to your project | 14:02 |
| dtantsur | fatema_: s/core/established/ I think. Ilya is not core, I am. | 14:02 |
| dtantsur | but of course you're expected to be familiar with the project :) | 14:03 |
| fatema_ | yes, sure | 14:03 |
| mahatic | I think essentially if you've contributed for the project for a while and are confident to come with a project idea and mentor, then go for it :) | 14:03 |
| mahatic | dtantsur: +1 | 14:03 |
| fatema_ | mahatic dtantsur cool to know this | 14:04 |
| mahatic | and to be a coordinator - all you need is willingness, belief in the program and some time to volunteer for it :) | 14:05 |
| dtantsur | if you're not a core, it's helpful to agree with some core(s) that they dedicate some priority time for interns | 14:05 |
| dtantsur | they don't have to become mentors, just be available, say, twice a week for a few reviews | 14:05 |
| mahatic | that's a good point | 14:06 |
| fatema_ | aha, this takes a little familiarity with the community then | 14:06 |
| dtantsur | the project's PTL is usually a good person to talk to | 14:07 |
| dtantsur | one of their responsibilities is facilitating mentoring new community members | 14:07 |
| mahatic | indeed | 14:07 |
| dtantsur | Julia, our PTL, did help us | 14:07 |
| mahatic | fatema_: I hope this answered the question :) | 14:09 |
| fatema_ | aha sounds very | 14:09 |
| mahatic | thank you for bringing it up | 14:09 |
| fatema_ | Thank you for answering | 14:09 |
| mahatic | if nothing else, then let's call it | 14:11 |
| fatema_ | that was all for me | 14:11 |
| mahatic | thank you interns and mentors for being here and for your participation in Outreachy! It's highly valued! | 14:11 |
