13:10:14 <samueldmq> diversity is important in any context, and it's great to have each one of you here, both mentees who are able to learn and feel part of our community (we love you <3) and mentors for supporting this beautiful cause
13:10:38 <erus> :D
13:10:41 <samueldmq> that's all I have
13:10:43 <dnuka> hi samueldmq :)
13:10:57 * samueldmq could have used topics... it's been a while

13:12:45 <enriquetaso> s0ru
13:12:48 <enriquetaso> :P
13:12:55 <dnuka> Hi folks! My name is Dhanuka. I'm a self taught software developer from Sri Lanka. I'm working on the openstack/sushy project and the upstream Ansible project. At first I had 0 knowledge of cloud computing concepts and infrastructure automation. So, it's been quite a journey so far. I have acquired a lot of knowledge thanks to my mentors dtantsur and etingof :)
13:12:59 <s0ru> o/
13:13:24 <dnuka> So far I have contributed to openstack/sushy, openstack/ironic-staging-drivers, openstack/python-ironicclient and Ansible projects. So I can proudly say I'm an ironicer \o/
13:13:32 <dtantsur> :)
13:13:49 <dnuka> Before the internship I didn't knew anyone from the IT industry. Thanks to my mentors & Outreachy I got the chance to meet and work with super talented and nice people from around the world, I never would have been able to before. Also, I'd like to thank my amazing team openstack-ironic :)
13:14:10 <samueldmq> wow
13:14:16 <samueldmq> that's impressive
13:14:27 <dnuka> thanks samueldmq :)
13:14:35 <dnuka> I think that's it for me :)
13:14:49 <samueldmq> I had a mentee who didn't know Python, OpenStack neither testing. she implemented functional tests for keystoneclient
13:15:08 <dnuka> :)
13:15:18 <samueldmq> this is one more proof of how awesome this program can be. thanks dnuka dtantsur and etingof
13:15:19 <erus> great dnuka o/

13:22:41 <erus> i had no experience either in cloud infraestructure, and i've learned a lot in this internship
13:23:41 <dnuka> hi erus :)
13:23:42 <erus> it has been such a great experience, my mentors are cmurphy, knikolla and kmalloc but everyone in the team is always helpful
13:24:21 <cmurphy> :)
13:24:59 <s0ru> we keeping adding self-"taughters"! :D
13:25:01 <samueldmq> erus: awesome, keystoen folks are weird but they're good people (kidding)
13:25:10 <dtantsur> lol
13:25:15 <erus> the first weeks were a little overwhelming because there was a lot of information but my mentors were always patience :D
13:25:15 <dnuka> :)
13:25:29 <erus> hahaha samueldmq
13:25:39 <erus> hi dnuka :)
13:25:39 <dtantsur> I think being overwhelmed is normal when starting on openstack :)
13:25:48 <erus> yay
13:25:49 <dnuka> yeah that was same for me, I had no idea what I'm doing :)
13:26:13 <dtantsur> well, I've been here for 5+ years and I still have no idea what I'm doing sometimes :)
13:26:13 <erus> but the mentors are awesome o/
13:26:25 <dnuka> 100%
13:26:33 <s0ru> hahaha
13:26:48 <etingof> the old wisdom is that openstack can't be understood
13:26:55 <erus> hahah

13:37:16 <s0ru> \o/
13:37:24 <samueldmq> who wants to go ahead first as a mentor?
13:37:31 <dtantsur> I can go
13:38:07 <dtantsur> Hi all! I'm Dmitry, born in Russia, living in Germany. I have been working for Red Hat on OpenStack since Feb 2014 (5 years anniversary, yay!).
13:38:34 <dtantsur> My field of interest is everything around managing bare metal machines. I've been a core reviewer on Ironic for.. hmmm.. 4.5 years?
13:38:56 <dtantsur> My hobbies include hiking and writing music :)
13:39:08 <erus> ohh great dtantsur
13:40:03 <dtantsur> I'm mentoring the sushy project with etingof. The project is Python client for Redfish protocol, which is a new and shiny protocol for managing bare metal machines.
13:40:32 <dtantsur> We've been doing it for two rounds already and.. should probably start thinking about another one, right etingof? ;)
13:41:01 * etingof concurs
13:41:13 <dtantsur> I guess that's all from me :)
13:41:16 <samueldmq> dtantsur: etingof: applications are now open! please submit your project ideas
13:41:17 <dnuka> :)
13:41:28 <samueldmq> thanks dnuka
13:42:08 * etingof has this in one (of his hundreds of) open tabs
13:42:20 <samueldmq> etingof: maybe you can go ahead and present yourself?
13:42:21 <dnuka> :D
13:42:22 <samueldmq> :-)
13:42:30 <etingof> alright samueldmq
13:42:52 <etingof> Hey, I am Ilya, I mostly code ironic (no joke!) for almost two years now. Prior to that I have been working on software security matters for a couple of years.
13:43:27 <etingof> Prior to that I’ve been focusing on coding up wireless internet infrastructure. Prior to that… hmmm...
13:43:49 <etingof> ...I seem to remember one word – SIGTRAN. Do not google it up – way too scary!
13:44:36 <samueldmq> hehe seems a bit low level?
13:44:47 <etingof> Other than, that I’ve been doing GSoC and Outreachy for a couple of times. I think that totally makes sense for many reasons!
13:44:48 <samueldmq> cool, and ironic is not that high level either, so... you good! :)
13:44:59 <samueldmq> etingof: ++
13:45:06 <etingof> samueldmq you have been warned not to google it up!
13:45:30 <samueldmq> :B
13:45:44 <etingof> Anyway, during this round I have been working with dtantsur encouraging dnuka not to get overly distressed by the enigmas of mighty OpenStack and the inherent mess of IT.
13:45:57 <dnuka> :)
13:46:17 <samueldmq> mess->complexity
13:46:22 <samueldmq> let's be optimistic
13:46:27 <samueldmq> :-)
13:46:28 <etingof> dnuka seems to be reasonably happy so I consider our affair being successful
13:46:46 <etingof> complicated mess, yes samueldmq
13:47:09 <etingof> That's it for me. Sorry for taking so much of your screen space.
13:48:20 <samueldmq> nah, that's good, we're all friends here
13:48:25 <samueldmq> thanks etingof
13:49:29 <samueldmq> looks like cmurphy is the next one?
13:49:39 <cmurphy> I guess so
13:50:30 <cmurphy> hello o/ I'm Colleen, I've been working on keystone for a while now, mentoring for two outreachy projects this round :)
13:50:50 <cmurphy> I'm from the US but I also live in Germany working for SUSE
13:51:20 <cmurphy> first time as an official outreachy mentor though I was an unofficial co-mentor before now
13:51:47 <cmurphy> really happy to have our two interns on board and helping us out :)
13:52:06 <cmurphy> that's about all I got
13:52:10 <erus> :D
13:52:14 <dnuka> hi cmurphy :)
13:52:49 <dtantsur> cmurphy: where in Germany are you?
13:53:02 <cmurphy> dtantsur: Nürnberg, you?
13:53:11 <dtantsur> Berlin. Not very close :)
13:53:21 <cmurphy> not very far either :)
13:53:28 <dtantsur> indeed!
13:53:35 <cmurphy> dtantsur: will you be at the ops meetup there in march?
13:53:42 <dtantsur> I will, yes
13:53:51 <samueldmq> we're from Brazil, US and Russia
13:53:57 <samueldmq> what's far in Germany again?
13:54:05 <dtantsur> LOL
13:54:05 <cmurphy> lol
13:54:05 <samueldmq> ;)

13:54:43 <cmurphy> dtantsur: yep! I will see you there
13:54:51 <dtantsur> awesome!
13:56:11 <samueldmq> cmurphy: thanks, having two interns is impressive. that's kind of you <3
