Haven't been to a mentoring meeting in a while, wanted to be there yesterday but something came up. I have been enjoying my new job a LOT lately. Which is why I haven't been at mentor meetings. It has been enjoyable but also very tiring. :blue_heart: 1</pre> :one: DrupalCon Europe 2021 October 4-7, Monday to Thursday in Hopin. From Cecilia: > FYI this year we will do Contributions everyday! Sessions will last about 5h a day and the rest of the day will be reserved for Contributions, DrupalCamps program, Social events (during evenings mostly etc). > Everyday the program will alternate so DrupalCon Sessions will be in the morning on the first day, afternoon 2nd, morning 3rd etc. That will help hopefully all participants and speakers attend a bit more the sessions because of timezones. > Monday 4th: 9am-12am CET > Tuesday 5th: 2pm-5pm CET > Wednesday 6th: 9am-12am CET > Thursday 7th: 2pm-5pm CET > There is a specific Mentored Contribution on Thursday 13:00 to 16:00 BST = `<a href="https://events.drupal.org/europe2021/sessions/mentored-contribution">https://events.drupal.org/europe2021/sessions/mentored-contribution</a>` > There is a First Time Contributor Workshop Tuesday, 5 Oct 2021 - 13:00 to 16:00 BST = `<a href="https://events.drupal.org/europe2021/sessions/first-time-contributor-workshop">https://events.drupal.org/europe2021/sessions/first-time-contributor-workshop</a>` > There is a Mentor Orientation on Monday, 4 Oct 2021 - 14:00 to 14:45 BST = `<a href="https://events.drupal.org/europe2021/sessions/mentor-orientation">https://events.drupal.org/europe2021/sessions/mentor-orientation</a>` <pre></code> :one: :zero: Who's planning to attend? And what can we do to help each other attend? <code> Rachel Lawson  13 days ago I’ll be there! Obviously I’ll be around for the mentored contribution time :yay2: 1 Tim Lehnen  13 days ago Hoping to be around as I can for questions about the 'adopt a module' issues :partyparrot: 2 :dancercorgi: 1 mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I can be a mentor at that time, but I don't have any energy to organize at the moment. :partyparrot: 1 :yay: 1 mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago "at that time" being Thursday 13:00-16:00 BST. Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I’ll be around! :sparkles: If you are going to be mentoring and are not yet registered for the Hopin event (rather than just the free opensocial platform where we’ll be doing contributions), please DM me! we have a few tickets available for mentors :drupal-mentoring: :partyparrot: 2 mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I won't be available Monday - Wednesday. Chris Darke  13 days ago Me me me :rockcat: 2 Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I think reviewing the videos is helpful for mentors too https://drupalcontributions.opensocial.site/book-page/first-time-contribution-workshop-videos mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Did we tweet to mentors to sign-up on the contribution platform for the event? Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Can do one of those tomorrow! I just sent https://twitter.com/drupalmentoring/status/1443307341374541828 to get engagement with this meeting :smile: :thankful: 1 :partyparrot: 1 :+1: 1 Rachel Lawson  13 days ago We can email those who are enrolled. I will add leads as event organizers so you can use the email system :+1::skin-tone-3: 1 Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago ps. if other tweet topics spring to mind send them my way :slightly_smiling_face: I’ll get a few more out for pre-conference and then for specific events next week :crossed_fingers::skin-tone-3: (timezone conversions willing) :heavy_tick: 1 Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Here’s a tracking issue, for an off-slack alternative. I’ll update that more soon. https://www.drupal.org/project/mentoring/issues/3239932 AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I am still unsure of my participation level since its an overnight event for me. I will narrow down my availability later in the week :raised_hands::skin-tone-3: 1 Brian Gilbert  13 days ago Also a middle of the night event for me, I'll be able to confirm tomorrow hopefully :raised_hands::skin-tone-3: 1 Valery Lourie  12 days ago I'll be there, with primary focus on examples module :yay: 1 Merel van Empel  12 days ago I'm planning to attend. I was a bit late with my ticket, but I did say I wanted to be an ambassador mentor. No idea if I was too late. (edited) :rockcat: 1 Anto Jose  12 days ago Me me me! :raised_hand_with_fingers_splayed: I'll be there, trying to help first time contributors. :heavy_plus_symbol: 2 :pirateparrot: 3 Bob Snodgrass (he/him)  8 days ago Catching up on all this now... I will be there off and on :pirateparrot: 2</pre> :one: :one: We need people to lead the mentored contribution events - time to volunteer! :one: :two: 1st time Contributor lead (runs a session that helps new contributors know what to expect at the mentored contribution and have tools ready) <pre>mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Are you available, @Chris Darke ? :heavy_plus_symbol: 1 Chris Darke  13 days ago Yuuup :hamster_dance: 2 Chris Darke  13 days ago Do we need to cover patch files any more? Rachel Lawson  13 days ago Coordinate with whoever is triaging issues — if there are no patch issues, no patch knowledge needed :+1: 2 Chris Darke  13 days ago Makes sense!</pre>:one: :three: Mentor Orientation Lead (Explains in the Mentor Orientation BoF above how we run mentoring event <pre>Rachel Lawson  13 days ago This would be simply explaining almost exactly what we explained in the Mentor Summit, telling them what tools we are using (see :two: ) and making sure mentors turn up on time. I can give you access to email mentors already signed up on the platform Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Oh, were the presentations from the summit recorded? Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago and just the one mentor orientation bof right (monday)? Rachel Lawson  13 days ago yes Rachel Lawson  13 days ago I will check on the presentations - they didn’t appear automatically :thankful: 2 AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I am still in limbo about attendance.. I have house mates so a lot of commotion from midnight to 5am for 4 days might prove difficult.</pre>:one: :four: Issue Triage Lead (makes sure there are some great First Contribution Issues tagged for us to work on) <pre>Rachel Lawson  13 days ago I’m hoping @AmyJune (volkswagenchick she/her) might step in here when she has finished her presentation mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago We should all help triage. Rachel Lawson  13 days ago absolutely - but it is good to have a lead, even so AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I can def help. :pirateparrot: 1 AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Is there a BoF? I can help lead the Bof if it doesnt conflict with any of my sessions Rachel Lawson  13 days ago I think it needs creating? AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Let me see if I can figure that out AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago OK - I ’ll do this tomorrow when I have a better handle on my schedule Cecilia Levy  13 days ago You can go to the BoF webpage in the program tab and submit a BoF for the issue triage. We’ll add it to the schedule then ! AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago thanks - I just have to figure out a time that works well with sleeping house mates :sweat_smile: 1 AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  12 days ago Ok I scheduled a BoF… time zones are not my friend …@Cecilia Levy I am hoping for a Tuesday Bof… it didnt really let me choose. :pirateparrot: 1 Cecilia Levy  12 days ago Didn't you have a scrolling menu to choose the day and am/pm? I'll let Nico know that you would like a Tuesday slot PM AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  12 days ago ++ AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  12 days ago It was a Tues/Thurs PM slot Cecilia Levy  12 days ago Ah ok, no problem I'll let him know and we'll see what we can do AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  8 days ago @Cecilia Levy So the Triage BoF is scheduled during one of my volunteer shifts monitoring sessions. *ANd this shift is helping a team mate, so the priority for my sponsor is helping my teammate over mentoring Did I get an email about when the BoF was scheduled?  Seems weird that I had to look for it on the schedule. The session I am covering is https://events.drupal.org/europe2021/sessions/tour-drupals-tours that starts during to Triage BoF. (edited) Cecilia Levy  8 days ago I will ask @Nicolas (Kuoni Congress) to change this since there's a conflict AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick she/her):drupal-mentoring:  8 days ago Thanks so much. That is the only other thing going on for me that day besides hanging out and watching session. I apprecite the re-schedule.</pre>:one: :five: Mentored Contribution Lead (the person all the other leads can work with to ensure everything is done! Generally, tries to not get too involved in any one thing but sits back and keeps everything smooootth) <pre>Rachel Lawson  13 days ago I’m happy to do this, given I know the platform well - unless someone else wants to? :heavy_plus_symbol: 1 :heart: 1 mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago That would be appreciated. Should be similar to being the mentor initiative day lead. Rachel Lawson  13 days ago yes</pre>:two: Contribution Tools - DrupalPod. We doing it?? <pre>Rachel Lawson  13 days ago IF we do it, do we want Ofer available at 1st timers and mentored contrib? Chris Darke  13 days ago I was wondering about that.. do we want to spend any time on the old tools if that is available? Rachel Lawson  13 days ago You seem to have volunteered for 1st time workshop, @Chris Darke. If any of us have skin in the game of the decision, it is you Rachel Lawson  13 days ago So, what do you think? mradcliffe:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Randy is going to spend a bit of time on quicksprint, but I think DrupalPod should be encouraged for first-time. Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago I'll be happy to help Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago Mentored contribution is 7 October 2021 08:00 - 13:00 (EDT) ? Is that correct? (I got the timing of mentors summit all wrong... so I am double-checking) :blue_heart: 1 :+1::skin-tone-3: 1 Rachel Lawson  13 days ago let me check Rachel Lawson  13 days ago https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20211007T120000&p1=136&p2=179 Rachel Lawson  13 days ago looks like you’re right! Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago I suggest we make a couple of short videos: "Starting contribution with DrupalPod" "Setting up SSH" (we might bypass that requirement!) "Working with issue fork" Debugging with xdebug Checking php logs etc. Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago It would be a nice way for anyone to see a 30 seconds video to be reminded how to do things with DrupalPod :+1::skin-tone-3: 1 Rachel Lawson  13 days ago Could you collaborate on that? Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Feel free to shoot me any video links if you’d like them to appear in the booth playlist, too. :heavy_plus_symbol: 1 Rachel Lawson  13 days ago Remember - we are a week away - take it on only if you can deliver Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago I brought it as a suggestion, to help us next week. :thankful: 1 :yay: 1 Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago Obviously it doesn't have to be me recording these. But I would love to make them. :yay: 3 :film_camera: 1 Chris Darke  13 days ago Ofer you mean recording of you giving the talk? Or a tutorial style screen share recording? Chris Darke  13 days ago Oh I see, never mind, from the list above Chris Darke  13 days ago If you find time to make them then awesome, if you want to record some screw share tutorials I can always wrap them into a similar formatting as other mentoring videos Brian Gilbert  13 days ago Given Gitpod link is in Drupal gitlab now I really think it should be the default now :thumbsup: Brian Gilbert  13 days ago Zero setup time on peoples machine is a really big benefit Chris Darke  13 days ago I’ve not been paying attention obviously! Sounds good! Yeah agreed.. didn’t really want to have to go through all the tools setup again! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: Brian Gilbert  13 days ago @shaal probably worth letting Gitpod team know about the event just in case they need to scale up or have staff on hand during the event (edited) Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago Yes, great idea, I'll tell them about all contribution days and especially the 7th Ofer Shaal:phase2:  13 days ago What's a recommended tool for screen recording? (browser or Mac) (edited) Brian Gilbert  13 days ago @shaal best I've used is Screenflow Chris Darke  12 days ago I just use QuickTime but I’m sure it’s not the best, just is already installed on the Mac Randy Fay  11 days ago I updated quicksprint with a new release, 9.3.x, supports Mac M1, etc. But do think that DrupalPod is the ticket for this one. https://github.com/drud/quicksprint/releases/tag/v1.18.0 :raised_hands::skin-tone-3: 1 Chris Darke  9 days ago Thanks @rfay.. @shaal I made a short screen cap of just starting up drupalpod that I can throw in as part of the 1TW presentation but it doesn’t go in depth into it and it’s just something I would talk over. We have these short mentoring videos on the YouTube channel where it would be great to have one on DrupalPod.. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNBrKoO2qYDXKqX_J1gLBrILRTwRzooDr (edited) :+1: 1 Also sent to the channel Ofer Shaal:phase2:  8 days ago :sweat_smile: I created 7 short video tutorials for DrupalPod :tada: (somehow procrastination is always gone at the last minute...) 01--drupalpod-start-here 02--drupalpod-browser-extension 03--drupalpod-vscode-interface 04--drupalpod-structure 05--drupalpod-ddev-xdebug 06--drupalpod-preview-phpstorm 07--drupalpod-one-time-ssh-setup https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1r8yX2khbqisaMPapf7TnQsWvpz7nTZK9?usp=sharing (edited) :drupalparrot: 6 :+1: 2 Chris Darke  8 days ago I am going to bundle those clips up into a YouTube video with sections for Drupal Core Mentoring channel if thats ok. Chris Darke  8 days ago @shaal any reason why the first video is an mp4 vs the .mov of the other videos? Premiere is complaining about it being an invalid compression type so it won’t import it. Chris Darke  8 days ago Ok looks like I was able to get it transcoded after a few attempts Ofer Shaal:phase2:  8 days ago @Chris Darke Are you able to add Youtube "Chapters", to the video you uploaded?</pre>:four: Open floor/other topics <pre>Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Do we want anything special in the booth? I’ll just put together the details and links for times and spaces and connect some videos. Figured it’s always good to put info under people’s noses. Rachel Lawson  13 days ago argh - we need a booth lead! Rachel Lawson  13 days ago not necessarily there all the time or anything just making sure it has something in it! Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago That’d be me so far as I know :slightly_smiling_face: Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago I have access etc, just need to fill it in. Rachel Lawson  13 days ago awesome - thanks! Elli Ludwigson:drupal-mentoring:  13 days ago Are we spreadsheet of awesomeness-ing or just using opensocial signups etc to track? Valery Lourie  12 days ago do we focus solely on core issues, or there may be contrib too? (thinking about examples, of course :slightly_smiling_face: ) Merel van Empel  12 days ago How are we coupled to other (new) mentors to be an ambassador mentor? Am I too late since I only registered my ticket 1,5 week ago? Rachel Lawson  12 days ago not too late at all!! To be honest, Merel, as we are all in the same meeting, we can just make sure you are in the same breakout room as an experienced mentor</pre>:four: That's it it for now! Continue the conversation in the threads above and in issues. And volunteer!!!!
