[xwiki-devs] [Call to Action] Looking for Google Code-In mentors
Hi everyone, Thomas and I would like to try the Google Code-In (GCI) programme this year (GCI is for high school students). We’ve been participating to lots of discussions about it at the GSOC summit 2017 and it seems like it could bring some interesting things for the XWiki project. Our goal: * Participate to GCI * Kill 2 birds with one stone and create an onboarding programme for anyone wanting to contribute to XWiki without any knowledge Here’s what we’ve done so far: * We’ve started registering XWiki as an org on https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/ * We’ve also started creating the GCI pages on xwiki.org at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleCodeIn/ * We’ve started creating GCI issues in XWiki (reusing existing JIRAs + creating new ones). The idea is to map our Paper Cuts ideas we had (http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/PaperCut) with GCI. ** In practice a GCI issue is a “Trivial” issue, labelled with “GCI”. Next immediate steps: * Finish the application process before the 24th of October. We’ll know on the 26th of October if we’re selected or not. * Find at least 10 mentors for the programme. We’re currently 2. A mentor doesn't need to be an expert in XWiki at all since the GCI tasks need to be super simple with very clear success criteria. So we need the maximum of mentors. We need to be prepared to handle 10-50 students at all time participating to XWiki GCI tasks! ** Example of people who could be mentors: committers, contributors, QA/testers, XWiki users, ex-GSOC students * Before the 28th of November have at least 200 tasks defined. IMPORTANT: The mentors are not assigned to any student and we work as a pool of mentors (it’s not like GSOC!). A mentor can handle validating tasks and answering questions from students at the intensity that they want (could be as low as doing that for a few tasks only). Please let us know quickly if you’re willing to be a mentor for GCI! Thanks -Vincent

Thanks Vincent and Thomas for taking this forward. Hope a positive result on 26th. I earlier contributed in XWiki Projects and ex-GSoC participant. I would like to mentor for GCI. On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 7:17 AM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote:

Thanks to those who responded already! Keep that coming we need a lot more mentors :) 10 is the bare minimum! I’ve put a list of known mentors at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleCodeIn/#HMentors Add yourself to the list if you want to be a mentor. Thanks! -Vincent

Little change: the label is "Onboarding" instead of "GCI" to me more generic and reuse that outside of GCI. On Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 6:36 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

I've added my name and enygma's on the mentors list. There are not that many organizations accepted in Code-In, so it would be great if we could be part of the program. "Onboarding" as label is good. Other organizations use "starter". We could also add more labels since GCI have the "user interface", "qa" categories, etc. Maybe some "user interface" / "design" / "ui" label could be interesting. WDYT? Thanks, Caty On Mon, Oct 16, 2017 at 8:42 PM, Thomas Mortagne <[email protected]> wrote:

I agree, as it helps students to categorize the field they are interested in. I created one issue on Android Authenticator. Link: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/ANDAUTH-24 But it is not visible on page, as query not showing this one. I added label and difficulty as Onboarding and Trivial respectively. Also can't we create above trivial level issues, as there are advance tasks as well in GCI? Thanks. On Wed, Oct 18, 2017 at 7:17 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < [email protected]> wrote:

Fixed!

Not sure I understand your question. If the question is: “should GCI issue not just be about ‘trivial’ level but also other difficulty levels?”, then I think we could extend GCI tasks to ‘Easy’ level, i.e. consider both “trivial” and “easy”. So we would have: * Trivial + Onboarding —> GCI * Easy + Onboarding —> GCI * Trivial —> Paper Cut I’m not sure if we should go beyond “Easy” though. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
Thanks.

I created one issue on Android Authenticator. Link: http://jira.xwiki.org/ browse/ANDAUTH-24 But it is not visible on page, as query not showing this one. I added label and difficulty as Onboarding and Trivial respectively.
Also can't we create above trivial level issues, as there are advance tasks as well in GCI? Thanks.

There are not that many organizations accepted in Code-In, so it would be great if we could be part of the program.
"Onboarding" as label is good. Other organizations use "starter".
We could also add more labels since GCI have the "user interface", "qa" categories, etc. Maybe some "user interface" / "design" / "ui" label could be interesting. WDYT?
Thanks, Caty

Little change: the label is "Onboarding" instead of "GCI" to me more generic and reuse that outside of GCI.

Hi everyone,
Thomas and I would like to try the Google Code-In (GCI) programme this year (GCI is for high school students). We’ve been participating to lots of discussions about it at the GSOC summit 2017 and it seems like it could bring some interesting things for the XWiki project.
Our goal: * Participate to GCI * Kill 2 birds with one stone and create an onboarding programme for anyone wanting to contribute to XWiki without any knowledge
Here’s what we’ve done so far: * We’ve started registering XWiki as an org on https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/ * We’ve also started creating the GCI pages on xwiki.org at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleCodeIn/ * We’ve started creating GCI issues in XWiki (reusing existing JIRAs + creating new ones). The idea is to map our Paper Cuts ideas we had ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/PaperCut) with GCI. ** In practice a GCI issue is a “Trivial” issue, labelled with “GCI”.
Next immediate steps: * Finish the application process before the 24th of October. We’ll know on the 26th of October if we’re selected or not. * Find at least 10 mentors for the programme. We’re currently 2. A mentor doesn't need to be an expert in XWiki at all since the GCI tasks need to be super simple with very clear success criteria. So we need the maximum of mentors. We need to be prepared to handle 10-50 students at all time participating to XWiki GCI tasks! ** Example of people who could be mentors: committers, contributors, QA/testers, XWiki users, ex-GSOC students * Before the 28th of November have at least 200 tasks defined.
IMPORTANT: The mentors are not assigned to any student and we work as a pool of mentors (it’s not like GSOC!). A mentor can handle validating tasks and answering questions from students at the intensity that they want (could be as low as doing that for a few tasks only).
Please let us know quickly if you’re willing to be a mentor for GCI!
Thanks -Vincent

They’re extending to 20+ org this year (was 14 last year AFAIR). They told us we have a very good chance of being selected if we’re able to gather enough mentors (they mentioned 10 being the bare minimum).

We already have labels in jira that we use (such as “ux”, “consistency”, etc) but I don’t know if we have some for the categories you mention. I’m fine to add more. Thanks -Vincent

Great! Thanks :) Come on everyone, we need some more mentor! 15 would be awesome and provide a higher level probability of getting chosen. Again the work of mentors will be: * Answer questions from students * Evaluate result of tasks when done by students to mark them as achieved or not We’ll work as a pool of mentors so you’ll be able the tasks you wish to validate from the task queue. And you’ll spend the time you can on it (no pressure). Thanks -Vincent
