13:00:50 <iwonka> hi everyone!
13:00:54 <vkmc> hey hey o/
13:01:08 <mahatic> hello everyone!
13:01:35 <lwanderley> hi o/
13:01:59 <vkmc> so... as mention a few minutes ago, there is an agenda here
13:02:01 <vkmc> #link https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/outreachy-kickoff-may-aug-2017
13:02:17 <vkmc> yes, I should have prepared it with more time... but procrastination happened
13:02:30 <mahatic> it looks good :)
13:03:00 <vkmc> the idea is to get to know a bit each other so we know who to ping when stuff happen
13:03:39 <vkmc> and... so the mentor-mentees is not the only relationship going on here... we are a community and we should encourage communication
13:03:48 <vkmc> so, let's start with a few introductions
13:04:00 <vkmc> #topic Coordinators
13:04:34 <vkmc> I'll start :)
13:04:51 <vkmc> I'm Victoria Martinez de la Cruz, I'm a software engineer for Red Hat based in Buenos Aires, Argentina
13:05:09 <vkmc> I'm currently focused on storage... precisely, I'm working on the shared filesystems as a service project codename Manila
13:05:17 <vkmc> I've been for a while in OpenStack
13:05:28 <vkmc> guess what? I've started as an Outreachy intern, just like you
13:05:45 * nishaYadav waves hello
13:05:57 <vkmc> I've worked on Horizon (dashboard), then moved to Zaqar (messaging and notifications), then moved to Trove (databases) and now I'm in Manila
13:06:42 <samueldmq> I am Samuel and I've been working on keystone since late 2013
13:06:52 <vkmc> samueldmq, waaaaait til mentors
13:07:00 <mahatic> :D
13:07:06 <vkmc> and yeah, that's all

13:11:26 <mahatic> I also work on other storage software outside of OpenStack which I won't get into the details now :)
13:12:22 <mahatic> it's really heartwarming to see Outreachy doing so well, kudos to vkmc for keeping on top of things for a while now
13:12:49 <vkmc> mahatic, <3
13:13:42 <mahatic> my expectation and hope out of the internship program is that mentors/mentees both enjoy and learn, and have an enriching experience

13:16:10 <samueldmq> I am a core reviewer in keystone by the way
13:16:26 <samueldmq> My first mentee last year was nishaYadav

13:22:21 <nishaYadav> I learned a lot and still have a long way to go. I am co-mentoring in this current round coz I wanted to stay in touch with outreachy and continue contributing for the goodwill
13:22:32 <vkmc> nishaYadav++

13:23:15 <mahatic> nishaYadav: nice! (on wanting to continue your contributions)
13:23:32 <sjain_> ++
13:24:21 <nishaYadav> My advice for the current mentees would be to not be afraid to ask any questions and get in touch with as many people you can during this phase, so that even after the end of internship you can continue working and have formed some strong connections in this beginner friendly communicty
13:24:28 <nishaYadav> community*
