Hi everyone 👋 !

We all at Public Lab 🎈 - learn, grow, work, brainstorm ideas, contribute together so why not share about our weekly goals and the awesome work we have done at Public Lab with each other, so we can support and collaborate with each other better. Let's start a Community Check-In from this week onwards, where every community member would share something about their work from the past week and about their current week's goal 🎯. You are also welcome to share fun-fact 😄 , new ideas 💡 , your learning goals ☑️ .

If you're new here, welcome 🎈 , and please comment a Hello message below, we love to work with you. If you're looking for new issues, please try some of our first-timers-only issues.

We're SO EXCITED to have your help!

Is there anything, you would like to share with us from past week's work? What is your plan for this week?

If you have not planned yet, just leave a Hello! so that we know that you are in sync with us 🔃 and doing well!

As always, if you're waiting for a review, or if you're stuck, please request help here OR leave a comment with @publiclab/mentors @publiclab/reviewers for some input. 🙌

This week's theme.

This being the last week of this year/first week of 2019, I thought we can share some good moments and achievements we have had on project and the community at large in addition to our weekly updates on what we will be working on. It does not necessarily have to be something that you did but it can also be a feature that was added on the project that made you happy 😸

Happy new year everyone!!! ⚡ 🎆 🎉 🎈 🎉

This week I will be redesigning the /stats page and also finishing up on #4317.

The UI open-hour made me happy, meeting all the amazing people and having a peep at how people use the website.
I love the new design that @edieblu is working on 🔥.
Every pull request that I make that gets merged makes me happy too 😃
Thanks

This week I am planning to complete the email verification feature #3798 that I had started working upon along with @Radhikadua123 . This issue consisted a total of 7 sub issues out which 4 have been completed and their PR's have been merged. One of the issues has a PR made and is under review, while the remaining 2 need to be implemented. So I plan to solve these two issues(#3851 and #3853) this week.
Also in the remaining week, I am planning to research more on #4362 regarding what else can be done to speedup things.

Initially I was not aware of such a community check in that happens in plots2. I think planning your tasks ahead in the week is a very good idea! Kudos to this great idea of week check ins!

Thank you so much!

Hi everyone,

I would be completing the Comment moderation system this week #3331. Thanks to Valentina for her work during GCI on this project, only some parts are remaining now 😄 .

Thank you!

I wanted to share that I managed to get a VERY long-running issue to pass all tests last night! It may not be 100% ready but we're testing it on the unstable server now:

#2857

This would complete the deprecation of our very old DrupalUsers table and unify it completely with the newer Users table -- one more step towards a cleaner and more maintainable and readable codebase! 🎉

Thanks Cess for a great theme!!!

Happy New Year! Today i used my refreshed brain to revisit the Tagging and Topics Milestone: https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/milestone/13

In a comment on an existing issue #2720, and in one new issue #4500, i suggest we begin getting more use out of the great "Search By Tag" interface that is currently only on the Questions page :)

Also on tagging, i'm excited to see this issue #3482 get solved which would remove the powertags from the display on https://publiclab.org/tags

I have asked for help locating the relevant lines of code for this issue: #3246

Thanks all!

Hi, all, round 2! I've kicked off a brainstorming post for the ideas page for Summer of Code 2019 - it's early but I thought we'd best get some ideas into discussion ahead of time. People have been brainstorming already - let's do it together!

https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/01-02-2019/brainstorming-for-summer-of-code-2019

Not every project would be chosen, nor attract a student to work on it, but this will let us discuss, compare, critique ideas and then develop a smaller final list.

Thanks everyone!

hi all, I'm wondering if i could hear some thoughts from you (if you are reading this, this means you!) about when during 2019 will be a good time to run a Software Contributors Survey? We did this the year before last, and would like to do it again.

Here is where we first discussed the idea in October 2017: https://publiclab.org/questions/warren/10-25-2017/help-with-a-standard-mini-evaluation-for-assessing-software-outreach-efforts

Here's the survey as sent out on December 14, 2017: #1890

Hi @ebarry I would say right now(in a week) because contributors are very active now-a-days. Also, we could get feedback of GCI students. Thanks!

Ok, so far i hear @gauravano 's idea to do it next week. Any other ideas for timing? I guess "a good time" would mean "a time when we could get a lot of respondents". We will also have to set the duration of when the survey is available, for instance two weeks. (Could be shorter or longer).

Once the survey period is completed, we will describe the results as
[survey respondents]/[all possible respondents]

If we want to get lot of responses, then another suitable time is after GSoC orgs are announced 😅

ebarry commented Jan 3, 2019

haha but maybe the people arriving after GSoC orgs are announced have not had enough experience with Public Lab to have meaningful feedback? or maybe they will?

For demographics/race, currently our in-person surveys are phrased this way:

[] Multiracial or multiethnic
[] Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander
[] American Indian or Alaska Native
[] Asian
[] Hispanic or Latino
[] Black, African, or African American
[] White or Caucasian
[] Prefer not to say

https://drnikki.github.io/open-demographics/questions/race.html employs two separate questions. Also, they list that "in order to make this question relevant globally, we need to either include different categories, or separate callouts for indigenous people." Note the categories on the second one:

Do you identify as a person of color?
() Yes
() No

With which racial background(s) do you identify? (check all that apply)
[] Asian
[] Black
[] Latino
[] Native American
[] Pacific Islander
[] White
[] Self Identify: _________________
[] Prefer not to answer

Also a lot more discussion at drnikki/open-demographics#14

And this addition (the above you link to is pretty old but hasn't been updated with input from drnikki/open-demographics#14, unfortunately):

Do you identify yourself as a member of a minority group in the area you live?

@emmairwin suggesting:

Do you identify yourself as a member of a minority racial, ethnicity or tribal group in the area you live?

Nice Idea. I am in favour of 2 month surveys as Jeff told instead of 2 weeks time period.

You can copy this issue's body and make changes like - changing theme, adding name of new contributors, adding above comments which I have pointed and any other additions you feel relevant and important.

You can keep the theme for next week - "Think About Your Audience". (Copying Outreachy's theme 😄 )
In this case, an "audience" means the people who are reading your blog posts. They may not have all the skills or knowledge that you do. You might share some skills, but they may not be familar with your community. They could be free software contributors or they could be newcomers.
