Weekly Community Check-In #59 - Always communicate.

[Shulammite-Aso]

Hi everybody! 👏

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. We have a Community Check-In each week, where every community member can 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 ☑️.

We believe in collaborative efforts to support our community. We are running a learning platform which helps a newcomer to become master of tomorrow. 💯

Always communicate

This week, we want to all remind our self of how important communication is. Communication is how we make a great community, and more especially a great team when we have to work together on a project. one thing that will help us to continue to see communicating as very important, is when we remember that nobody lives in our head and we don't live in any body's head, therefore we need to always share our thoughts and be very clear about it as well as ask for and accept feedback.

To all the interns, GSoC/Outreachy who will be working hard on projects this summer, communication can mean various things from documenting the issues we create well so that other can easily understand them when they read them, to documenting all our works that introduces something new to the overall project, or updating documentation were one already exists. We also want to ask questions when we're stuck of feel lost, don't be ashamed to ask any kind of question as long as you have tried your best to find answers by yourself. Remember, nobody lives in your head, you need to always share your thought, and be as clear as possible.

Hey guys,

I have created my GSOC Planning Issue here ~> publiclab/spectral-workbench#506.

Also, I am specially waiting on the review of publiclab/spectral-workbench#499. I might need @icarito to get this merged, maybe I could work on a staging environment for Spectral, since we don't have any for now.

Hi all! @alaxalves i alerted Sebastian so we hope to hear soon, thanks.

Thank you @Shulammite-Aso for a great check-in and theme! SO agreed! 🎉

I've been working a lot to smooth out the integrations between libraries and "parent" applications, and got some help this week by communicating in a pull request -- VERY grateful to @VladimirMikulic for chiming in with a fix on this, which i had been mystified about! #7913

With UI changes, library updates, and more, sometimes it can be hard to trace what others have done, and it's always a great idea to ask for help! 🙌
