14:04:29 <vkmc> #topic Overall status
14:04:40 <vkmc> Namrata, floor is yours!
14:05:17 <Namrata> Hi. My internship was good.It made me learn to interact with people across the globe
14:05:40 <Namrata> I learned python during this internship
14:06:30 <Namrata> The best part of this internship is that It gives you access through any thing you want to choose amongst the available work
14:07:03 <Namrata> And I dont remember anything hard I found as my mentor dims was there to help me everytime
14:07:18 <vkmc> \o/ yay
14:07:19 <Namrata> That's all from my side
14:07:36 <vkmc> Namrata, what was your main internship task? and how much you could accomplish from it?
14:08:14 <Namrata> my internship task includes 1.OSC support for Zun
14:08:16 <mahatic_> Namrata: good to know!
14:08:19 <Namrata> Thats completed
14:08:28 <Namrata> 2.Heat implementation in zun
14:08:37 <Namrata> I have submitted the patches
14:08:44 <Namrata> they are under review
14:09:08 <Namrata> 3.Functional tests for zunclient commands
14:09:16 <Namrata> They are also merged
14:09:23 <vkmc> wohoooo
14:09:24 <Namrata> I am working on blogs
14:09:26 <vkmc> that's so awesome!
14:09:34 <dims> Namrata : great job! i am especially proud about the CI tests you added
14:09:46 <Namrata> Thanks dims

14:10:39 <Namrata> Thanks vkmc
14:10:47 <vkmc> and special kudos for being the first one on giving us the update heh :D
14:10:59 <vkmc> now... karenc
14:11:03 <karenc> hi!
14:11:06 <vkmc> same set of questions :)
14:11:17 <karenc> my project is to improve swift s3 compatibility
14:12:26 <karenc> we have some functional tests from ceph to test our s3 compatibility and i've been trying to add code to swift3 so more tests will pass
14:12:42 <karenc> i've got some patches merged but i still have more patches under review
14:13:56 <karenc> what i liked about the internship is working on a large open source project that has a large community
14:14:22 <karenc> it's nice to work on something that a lot of people use :)
14:14:25 <vkmc> yaaay
14:14:32 <timburke> sorry i'm late
14:14:35 <vkmc> indeed, I find it very exciting as well
14:14:39 <vkmc> timburke, no probs
14:14:45 <mahatic_> karenc: sure! :) Congrats on the work you've been doing!
14:14:49 <karenc> :D
14:15:16 <karenc> and my mentor timburke was really encouraging and helpful
14:15:16 <mahatic_> timburke: welcome
14:15:32 <karenc> i found it a bit difficult to get started
14:15:40 <karenc> there was a lot to learn
14:16:13 <mahatic_> glad to hear that. Congrats timburke, job well done!
14:16:19 <karenc> hm... is there anything else
14:17:34 <Namrata> karenc :great work.congrats
14:17:47 <karenc> :D you too
14:17:47 <timburke> agreed!
14:18:11 <vkmc> congrats for all the great work :)
14:18:24 <karenc> thank you :)
14:18:31 <vkmc> it's ok to have some patches on review... and also after the internship
14:18:37 <vkmc> you worked in a very big feature
14:19:00 <karenc> yep i intend to continue working on it
14:19:08 <vkmc> yaay
14:19:10 <vkmc> that's just great
14:19:12 <mahatic_> that's be awesome
14:19:30 <vkmc> anything else karenc?
14:19:34 <karenc> i don't think so
14:19:49 <mahatic_> that'd*
14:20:44 <vkmc> cool
14:21:05 <vkmc> so... now, mariannelm!
14:21:15 <mariannelm> okay, sure :)!
14:21:45 <mariannelm> I think the internship was a nice experience, I got to learn real usefull things (like mocking) :)!
14:21:54 <egafford> \o/ (so useful)
14:22:53 <mariannelm> My main task was to create and implement one of the Sahara cores abstraction (data sources and job binaries) and make these abstractions as plugins in order to offer more flexibilti to the code
14:23:30 <mariannelm> It mainly involved a lot of refactoring, and currently the patch is under review
14:24:20 * mahatic_ is on her commute back home from work. Might face some connectivity issues
14:24:25 <egafford> (I'll note that the spec landed and Marianne completed all the (3000+lines) of code change, but the Sahara team's been review-light for a while.)
14:24:46 <vkmc> wooooow
14:24:53 <vkmc> so cool!
14:24:54 <mahatic_> awesome
14:25:08 <mariannelm> I really happy with the final result, I also got to contribute a bit to the community as well with some bug fixes and reviewing
14:25:15 <mariannelm> *I'm
14:25:16 <vkmc> yeah... reviewing usually slow things down
14:25:22 <Namrata> mariannelm awesome
14:25:27 <egafford> Also feature freeze. :/
14:26:04 <vkmc> yeah
14:26:13 <mariannelm> I really liked to contribute to the community and the feeling to be doing a real change in a real project, and that this change will help others to do a better job with Sahara code
14:27:14 <mariannelm> And I think I had a hard time configuring the dev and test env.
14:27:24 <mariannelm> yeah, and also with the feature freeze :/
14:27:37 <egafford> Literally everyone has a hard time configuring the dev and test envs. :)
14:28:00 <mahatic_> mariannelm: nice! thank you for your contributions. I'm sure the community is happy to have you :)
14:28:04 <mariannelm> haha :)
14:28:20 <mariannelm> Namrata and mahatic_ thank you :D!
14:28:23 <mahatic_> Congrats on your work!
14:28:28 <egafford> But yeah, Marianne did an amazing job and took a huge amount of initiative in terms of structuring and scheduling her work. She hit all her goals along the way really well, and the change she implemented will be a big help to extenders of Sahara.
14:29:13 <mahatic_> that's fantastic!
14:29:32 <mariannelm> egafford, thank you! You were a really great mentor :)
14:29:36 <vkmc> egafford, so happy to read that
14:29:43 <vkmc> :)
14:29:50 <vkmc> anything else mariannelm?
14:30:09 <egafford> And you're just a huge deal in general, mariannelm. Really glad to have been able to work with you! :D
14:30:32 <mariannelm> vkmc, don't think so :)!
14:30:43 <vkmc> cool :)
14:30:44 <mariannelm> egafford, same here!
14:30:47 <vkmc> thanks everyone for all the updates
14:31:21 <vkmc> congrats both mentees and mentors for all the good work
14:31:35 <vkmc> I'm really happy to read that all the internships have been a good experience
14:31:39 <vkmc> and that so much work have been done
14:31:48 <mahatic_> yup :)
14:31:48 <vkmc> :D
14:31:55 <vkmc> so now... usually the question that comes is... what's next?
14:32:11 <vkmc> so I want to tackle that question along with mahatic_ help in two ways
14:32:15 <vkmc> first... OpenStack Summit
14:32:21 <vkmc> #topic OpenStack Summit Boston
14:32:36 <vkmc> probably mentees have heard already about this event
14:32:57 <vkmc> the OpenStack community have been meeting twice a year since their beginnings in order to share knowledge
14:33:16 <vkmc> users, operators, developers, newcomers... different profiles in general terms... attend to the summit
14:33:30 <vkmc> next summit is going to be held in Boston
14:33:42 <vkmc> May 8 - 11
14:33:45 <vkmc> #link https://www.openstack.org/summit/boston-2017/
14:33:59 <vkmc> and we would love to have you all there
14:34:05 <mahatic_> +1
14:34:15 <vkmc> mahatic_, do you want to tell, more or less, how is the summit structured?
14:34:30 <mahatic_> Just a couple of links to help you get acquainted with the events OpenStack holds - https://www.openstack.org/summit/
14:34:34 <vkmc> and what to expect from this kind of events
14:34:37 <mahatic_> and https://www.openstack.org/ptg/
14:34:55 <dims> just a few more days for the travel support program applications
14:34:59 <dims> #link https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Travel_Support_Program
14:35:10 <mahatic_> dims: thanks
14:35:31 <mariannelm> I applyed for TSP and if everything works out, I'm planning to attend :)!
14:35:50 <mahatic_> vkmc: I'd love to. But i'm in commute right now, if I drop off in between, please excuse :)
14:36:09 <mahatic_> dims: vkmc as of know, is it confirmed that there will be activity at Boston summit?
14:36:20 <mahatic_> will be dev*
14:36:32 <dims> mahatic_ : yes
14:36:50 <mahatic_> ok, it has not been clear so far
14:37:08 <dims> one sec, finding an email from thierry
14:37:22 <mahatic_> that'd be great
14:37:32 <Namrata> There is no access pass this time?
14:37:57 <mahatic_> Right, but there will be a discount on the pass for folks who have attended PTG
14:38:18 <Namrata> Oh..
14:38:31 <dims> mahatic_ : see http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2017-March/113115.html
14:38:41 <vkmc> there will be developers activity at the summit
14:38:48 <mahatic_> Namrata: but I think, you could ask for the pass in your TSP application
14:38:56 <Namrata> okay
14:39:19 <Namrata> but there was no mention of access pass in travel support application form
14:39:21 <mahatic_> dims: thanks!
14:39:41 * dims lives just south of boston, so local commute for me
14:40:29 * mahatic_ is dropping off for a bit, have to get off transport
14:41:44 <vkmc> all right
14:41:45 <vkmc> so...
14:42:40 <vkmc> mariannelm, you already applied to the travel support
14:42:47 <vkmc> Namrata and mariannelm?
14:42:50 <mariannelm> vkmc, yeah
14:42:57 <vkmc> sorry, karenc
14:43:06 <karenc> i haven't applied
14:43:13 <Namrata> I was waiting till the meeting .I have already drafted
14:43:16 <Namrata> will submit
14:43:19 <vkmc> great
14:43:24 <vkmc> do you have any doubt about the event? :)
14:43:29 <vkmc> feel free to ask
14:43:56 <karenc> i think it'll be really exciting to go to the summit, just need to check the dates
14:45:45 <vkmc> all right
14:46:18 <mariannelm> vkmc, when the TSP approved grantees will be notified?
14:46:28 <Namrata> 31st march
14:46:54 <mariannelm> Namrata, thank you
14:47:42 <vkmc> thanks Namrata
14:47:45 <vkmc> yes, 31st March
14:47:56 <vkmc> well... I think the event is great for you to meet with the community
14:48:04 <vkmc> to hear about different OpenStack use cases
14:48:14 <vkmc> and also, to pursue for a full time career working on OpenStack
14:48:21 <vkmc> usually companies put recruiters in there
14:48:25 <vkmc> so you can take the chance to do that
14:48:35 <vkmc> depends on what you want to do next :)
14:48:44 <vkmc> so talking about it, we can move to the next topic
14:48:51 <vkmc> if there are no further questions about the summit
14:48:55 <vkmc> giving a few minutes...
14:49:17 <Namrata> Not from my side.
14:49:27 <mariannelm> Not from my side
14:49:41 <karenc> Nothing from me either
14:50:09 <vkmc> ok great!
14:50:12 <vkmc> so... next topic
14:50:23 <vkmc> #topic What to do after the internship
14:50:28 <vkmc> I saw a few notes already there
14:50:30 <vkmc> not sure who made them
14:50:34 * dims waves
14:50:37 <vkmc> but in any case... mentors... any advice on this?
14:50:38 <vkmc> :)
14:50:39 <vkmc> dims, yay
14:51:44 <dims> any questions about the few points i added in the etherpad?
14:52:04 <mahatic_> I think the notes are excellent on the etherpad
14:52:18 <mahatic_> thanks dims
14:52:45 <mahatic_> I think carrying any form of business card/contact card would help
14:53:44 <dims> and a prepared resume too..
14:54:41 <vkmc> cool, that would be... for the summit
14:54:44 <mahatic_> Making sure to meet people in person from the community, who you've worked with, will help in working offline a bit more easily
14:54:53 <mariannelm> thank for the tips, I'll have a look in the etherpad later, have to go now :/
14:54:54 <vkmc> in case you want to land a job on a company working on OpenStack
14:54:56 <dims> ++ mahatic_
14:55:01 <mahatic_> offline - IRC/emails etc
14:55:05 <mariannelm> really nice talking to all of you!
14:55:13 <vkmc> mariannelm, thanks for joining! catch you later
14:55:15 <egafford> o/
14:55:17 <karenc> o/
14:55:25 <mahatic_> mariannelm: thank you
14:58:00 <vkmc> well
14:58:09 <vkmc> let's close with a few remarks
14:58:27 <vkmc> getting a job on OpenStack is not the only thing you can do after doing the internship
14:58:34 <vkmc> of course that we would like to have you involved
14:58:39 <vkmc> and working with us
14:58:43 <vkmc> but certainly is not mandatory
14:58:44 <vkmc> :)
14:58:46 <vkmc> that's your call
14:59:02 <vkmc> you can keep involved with the community though, joining IRC channels, participating in discussions
14:59:06 <vkmc> as long as you see room for that
14:59:11 <vkmc> make sure to keep contact with your mentors
14:59:37 <vkmc> if anything comes up, we are here to help you
14:59:47 <dims> ++ vkmc. yep, make friends, build your network, it will last for a long time and will help in unexpected ways
14:59:52 <vkmc> yes :D
14:59:58 <mahatic_> +1 nice points
15:00:02 <vkmc> that's pretty much what I wanted to say on next steps
15:00:08 <dims> vkmc : mahatic_ : thanks for running the program!
15:00:13 <vkmc> with that, we can call this a meeting
15:00:18 <vkmc> happy last days of the internship
