| idjoshua | Hi everyone, is this chatroom still active? I've been here for a few days now and haven't heard a thing | 10:01 |
|---|---|---|
| idjoshua | My name is Idowu. I'm an outreachy applicant. I've been learning about the glance project and setting up my devstack environment since the contribution period started | 10:05 |
| idjoshua | I would love to get some pointers from everyone on how best I can make the most of my time and aspects of the project I need to focus on as an outreachy applicant | 10:07 |
| idjoshua | Thanks | 10:07 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, o/ | 10:09 |
| vkmc | hi there, it is | 10:09 |
| vkmc | people in this network is based in different countries, so it's pretty common that not everybody is online at the same time | 10:10 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, have you started working on setting up your contributor accounts and development environment? | 10:10 |
| idjoshua | Yes, I've been able to do all of that | 10:22 |
| idjoshua | Although I faced a lof issues setting up devstack on my vm locally. But so far, I've been able to bypass the issues | 10:23 |
| vkmc | glad to hear | 10:24 |
| idjoshua | Cyril Roelandt also advised that I start with learning how to run unit tests on glance, glance-client and glance-store. | 10:24 |
| vkmc | perfect | 10:25 |
| idjoshua | I finally got a hang of the tests with tox over the weekend | 10:25 |
| idjoshua | @vkmc, what would you advise me to do next? Cus I'm a bit lost on which goodfirstissues/bugs I can choose on launchpad. | 10:28 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, I'd suggest you look on some other minor issues you can fix, in glance, python-glanceclient | 10:29 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, also you can work on the internship schedule with your mentor | 10:29 |
| vkmc | last week was kinda busy for most openstack contributors because we were having the design sessions (planning the new release) | 10:29 |
| idjoshua | Oh alright. I will check through python-glanceclient today. | 10:44 |
| idjoshua | I noticed things were a bit quiet last week. The mentors have not been really available. I will reach out to cyril and @mrjoshi on the #openstack-glance channel again today | 10:45 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, ok | 10:45 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, consider that being able to work on your own is also very important for this internship | 10:46 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, your mentors won't be around at all times | 10:46 |
| idjoshua | Yes, I understand. I've only been in contact with Cyril once. Considering this is the contribution stage before the final application deadline in 2 weeks, what channel do you think is best to communicate with the mentors? | 10:52 |
| vkmc | idjoshua, #openstack-glance | 11:19 |
| francie | Welcome idjoshua, I too am an Outreachy applicant. I could assist you with some issues as I have faced such in the past. Let me know if you having any challenge I could help with. Though the project for me is for manila but contributing to Openstack follows almost similar pattern safe different projects | 11:20 |
| idjoshua | Thanks Francie. I'm so glad to have fellow applicant here. Have you been able to start making contributions to Manila? | 11:28 |
| idjoshua | @francie, Also, did you face any 'auth_url' authentication issues while setting up devstack and spinning up openstack in your vm? | 11:40 |
| idjoshua | I would love to learn from how you solved that. | 11:40 |
| francie | idjoshua: I use this to quickly setup a VM for my local environment: https://superuser.openstack.org/articles/openstack-developer-beginner-setup/ | 12:51 |
