Hi, all - just posting an update here; we've posted the Outreachy project for this summer here: https://www.outreachy.org/may-2019-august-2019-outreachy-internships/communities/public-lab/#publiclaborg-ui-improvements

😃 @namangupta i just replied to this tweet - will it work? https://twitter.com/PublicLab/status/1103311816548065280

Added a new section with input from @bansal_sidharth2996 --

New this year

Once the term starts, we'll be asking all participants to review another person's work at least once time per week, and to either post a first-timers-only issue or help someone who's working on one once weekly. This will help us continue to support our growing community!

Yeah, we are looking forwards for supportive folks.  Make sure to do 1. at least one PR review each week and 

1. make some FTO issues in each week to involve new contributors inside your projects. People will love to be part of big projects. It is a great feeling to help others.

2. Please take out a day from timeline from each month at end of each phase of SoC fellowship to write about what you learnt and did in the period. Earlier it was not compulsory. But let's make it compulsory. By this mentors will be able to access your progress. Don't forget to mention the ftos which you created during this period. Also mention the PR reviews which you did.

3. We are planning for video calls I'm each month during SoC program. So, it will be great to see you all.

These are small activities which can lead to better and supportive community at PL. All participants all programs are encourage to write these in their proposals.

Thanks and best of luck.

Three more optional suggestions: If you were a GCI mentor please mention it in your proposal. We will give extra credit to these long term collaborators. Second, it will be great to have a conference or seminar at your university about Public Lab and the programs which are held here. It is optional. No compulsion at all. Thirdly, help each other in writing their proposals by giving suggestions under the proposals

Hello @jywarren and everyone, it has been really wonderful for me to be contributing to Public Lab and eventually to a better society and environment. The community is really very supportive and welcoming to new ideas and people.

Thus, to make a small contribution from my side,I would like to submit a proposal for the Spectral Workbench Capture idea and would like to work on this project this coming summer and maybe afterwards too.

Firstly, I will try to complete the integration of the library from the core project code of Spectral Workbench and then I would love to write the tests for it along with debugging any issues if found.

Having done these, I would focus on making it work properly in almost every browser. Also, will debug any issues found with the working of the library on the command line.

After this, as mentioned in the idea - will implement a React app around Basic UI modules. But, I have a doubt that whether the React app will be made just for showcasing the basic working of the library and to host its documentation i.e. as an example page or it is being made as a revamp of Spectral Workbench Webapp?

Please guide me as to how should I proceed? I have drafted the sample proposal and will be posting it for review on Monday i.e. April 1, 2019. I am very eager to work on this project. My one of the primary aims of working on this project will be to try to make it beginner-friendly since we see that this project has very less new-contributors and first-timers. Thus, I will try to make as many first-timer-issues as possible so that the community may easily start contributing on this very significant project too.

Thank you.

Hey everyone, As discussed with @jywarren, we are going to participate in RGSoC this year. My suggestion is instead of registering as a single project. We can submit multiple projects, each related to a repository i.e. Plots2. Mapknitter, Image-sequencer etc. What are your thoughts?

Hello everyone !

I along with my two friends conducted a meetup in our college yesterday regarding how to start with open source contributions and how Summer of Code and outreachy can be a great motivation.

I also discussed about our organisation Public Lab, what we do and how we have achieved such a great number of new comers in such a few days. I discussed various projects under our organisation and spread some words about my contributions so that they can also be a part of the project. Here is a link to some of the photos we clicked : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19kFaC33iGz91Qs0PD3F4cS8wmeK_htV7?usp=sharing

Also my github username is divy123. @jywarren, @tech4GT, @bansal_sidharth2996, @gauravano and all other mentors and contributors please do have a look.

That's awesome @lit2017001!

Thanks @gauravano ! This is Divy123 from image-sequencer. Can I change my username here? Also I have submitted my proposal but due to some reasons its not showing up there in list of proposals up there. Can you please help me with that?

Thanks @gauravano.

This is so awesome!!!!

OK! I just finished leaving comments on Outreachy proposals and need to take a break as it's very late here! I'll circle back to these proposals in the morning -- thank you all for your patience!

Thanks a lot @jywarren. Will complete my proposal today. Please review whenever free. 😃 🎉

@jywarren, @tech4GT please review my proposal whenever you are free. Looking forward for your valuable suggestions.

Hi, I just wrote a detailed issue on the colorimetric project, with the bugs we'd need to solve, and some other ideas: https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/979 I hope this helps!

Hi, sorry for the interruption. Jeff's handle on PL is @warren(not @jywarren, @jywarren is on github). Just telling you all so that you can ping us correctly whenever you need any help. Thanks all.

GSOC application submission deadline today. Please submit the proposals at the earliest. Thanks all for writing such great proposals. Best of luck all of you.
