I would like to thank @gauravano, @ViditChitkara, @namangupta01 and @sagarpreet-chadha for inspiring me to be part of such an amazing community.

commented

I want to thank @jywarren and @gauravano for their effort at making this community remarkable. My first PR was tough but @gauravano saw me through it.

commented

Aw love this theme! I'd like to express gratitude to PL for providing my first open source experience, and so much more along the way as I have grown in the community for 7 months now!

@gauravano for always answering all my questions, @jywarren for always making time when I need to discuss a PR and teaching me new things, @ebarry for welcoming me to co-work at the PL NY office and being so warm ❤️ @icarito for keeping our CI running and fixing it literally moments after it breaks @rexagod for laboring with me on DistortableImage bugs 😆, @cesswairimu thank you for showing me browser stack!

Additionally so many other people who have helped review my PRs in the past. Most recently, @divyabaid16 @shivam15

commented

Great theme @sagarpreet-chadha!

Public Lab is the community with which I started my Open Source journey some 1 year 7 months ago. I still remember my first PR - publiclab/plots2#1642 where I did all the silly mistakes 🙈 , and @jywarren helped me out.

I got support from various people during this journey @jywarren @sagarpreet-chadha @SidharthBansal @Souravirus @namangupta01 @ViditChitkara @icarito @ebarry @steviepubliclab and many more.

I learned many things being part of this community - wrote my first test here only, API development, testing, and each PR which I reviewed, collaborated with someone was a learning experience.

Thanks to Public Lab for being a crucial part of my life, @jywarren for helping out and being an awesome mentor and to all the contributors who made this journey possible.

Thank you @sagarpreet-chadha @cesswairimu @jainaman224 @AnthoniaOkafor @sashadev-sky ❤️

Have a great week ahead everyone 💯

commented

These are so great, can we keep this one pinned forever 💯

commented

Hello everyone!!
It's a great theme @sagarpreet-chadha 😄
It has been around 1.5 months that I have been contributing in Public Lab and I'm having an amazing experience. Everyone is so friendly and helpful here. It seems like I have been here for months and everything is going very smoothly.
I remember, the first issue for me was opened by @cesswairimu and she helped and guided me through the time my first PR got merged. I'm very thank to you as you were the first person I interacted here. 💯
I would like to thank each and everyone who belongs here and have helped each other in every possible way guiding, reviewing, helping and also motivating.
In my initial days, when I was a newbie bee here, I was suppoerted and encouraged by my mentors and a special and heartful thanks to them 🎈 🎉 😄

This week, my end semester exams are beginning, so I won't be able to contribute much but will definately join by full force after 11 May.

Thanks!

commented

Greatings everyone!!
Awesome theme @sagarpreet-chadha . Thanks a lot for opening this.
I have been contributing to Public Lab for six months and I never felt a single day of my life when I did not learn something from this beautiful community.

I would like to thank @jywarren for always helping me out despite being so busy, @tech4GT who always stood for us, the contributors and helped us to learn even more always, @harshkhandeparkar an open source enthusiast in all dimensions who was always super active to help us solve the issues in an even better way, @gauravano who was always there to help me in case of any confusions, @aashna27 for always helping me by reviewing the PRs and helping solve the issues efficiently, @SidharthBansal for being very fast with his helpful suggestions and all other contributors and mentors for making Public Lab such a modest and hard working organisation.

commented

Hi All !
I have not contributed much but just two times. It was a great experience and would look forward to contribute more. 😃
I would like to thank @sashadev-sky and @gauravano for helping in my first PR.

commented

This is such a wonderful theme. There is so much to write here.
@sagarpreet-chadha Thank you!
Public labs is my first ever open source experience and has made me fall in love with this domain. I remember how uncertain I was, if open source is my place, but by being here I realise this is exactly where I wanted to be. Everyone here, be it mentor or fellow contributors, have always been so humble and helpful.
Starting with @jywarren, @gauravano and @cesswairimu, who helped me through my first PR. Thank you so much for being such supportive and motivating mentors. Your guidance have been an important part in my journey so far. It was a joyous moment to see my first PR getting merged.
Thank you @siaw23, @sashadev-sky, @namangupta01 for helping me with my issues and PRs.
Most importantly, @IshaGupta18, @CleverFool77, @divyabaid16, @ananyaarun Thank you all. Its been amazing collaborating with you guys. Be it issues or PRs, your suggestions have always been helpful. It was fun dividing up tasks and working together on them. Cheers girls! <3
The humility and collaboration between contributors and mentors that exists in Public labs is its strength and makes me wanna contribute here as much as I can.
Kudos to everyone here!!!!
Hope to have a great journey ahead.
Thank you everyone!!!

Hello everyone, this post makes me feel so emotional! I am endlessly grateful to you all for making this such a wonderful place, for giving me such renewed faith in fellow people, and strength and inspiration. It always brings a smile to my face to see people helping and cheering one another in the many comments and issues we work on together. I'm always cheered to see a newcomer have a good experience and to see people then turn around and extend that to someone else in turn.

I wanted this week to express extra gratitude to @Souravirus who has been tirelessly updating, rebasing, and refining one of the biggest PRs we've ever seen, a conversion of our whole site to Bootstrap 4: publiclab/plots2#3937

@Souravirus is always kind, thoughtful, and never complains that one more PR is merged causing another merge conflict to be required in this immense project. So, I am looking to do no more and to merge it tomorrow, and publish it to https://stable.publiclab.org.

Some things may break. Some will need adjustment. But this is something we can take on together and solve as a team.

Thank you so much @Souravirus for your efforts here!!! And once again to everyone who's been pitching in across our projects. You're what makes this all possible! ❤️ 💞 🚀 🙌 🎉

commented

Hi everyone,
Thanks, @jywarren for the special gratitude. It means a lot to me.

I really want to express gratitude to everyone from the starting of my journey with Public Lab till now. I started with a first-timers-issue issue and I remember how quick response came from @gauravano. I never expected this from such a big organization.

Then I want to thank @sagarpreet-chadha who really helped me by reviewing my PRs when I was in my early stage of contributing.

I also want to thank @jywarren, @siaw23 who helped me with the rails upgrades in my GSoC period. I really didn't know much about upgrades but the way @siaw23 helped me with the rails 5.0 upgrades that is really commendable.
At last thanks to everyone for becoming part of such a beautiful community.

commented

This was JUST MERGED!!!!! ❤️ 🙌🙌🙌🙌 ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ publiclab/plots2#3937

commented

Congrats, @Souravirus !!!!

It'll appear shortly on https://stable.publiclab.org and we can take the next steps.

commented

Hi All !
I have not contributed much but just two times. It was a great experience and would look forward to contribute more. 😃
I would like to thank @sashadev-sky and @gauravano for helping in my first PR.

@shivam15 thank you for helping me with my own PR afterwards!!

commented

Hi everyone, sorry to be late to the gratitude party, but I love this check-in! First, I want to thank everyone in the largest sense. Although this week was my first contribution to the site, I've participated here long enough to know that the more specific thank you's I'm about to give are made possible by a community which actively chooses to maintain specific values and culture. So to everyone who makes this community possible, you have my gratitude.

@ebarry, a big thank you for posting the original tag graph and keeping the dream alive #1502. Take note, @ebarry has been promoting the tag graph since July 2017 and kept on it until Feb 2009.

@cesswairimu (and anyone else that worked on the stats download page). That's been a long time wish for me and I had no idea it was coming true! Also, for her PR help in fixing the CSV issue (that's my preferred method of data!). PS: it's April 25, 2013, so happy "breaks the stats page" day! (For others, @cesswairimu figured out that for some reason inclusion of that date in getting the stats doesn't work).

@IshaGupta18, @sashadev-sky, @SidharthBansal, @alonpeer for encouragement and explanations.

@gauravano who really walked me through the process, and took point on the PR.

@jywarren for suggesting the issue become an FTO. You and @ebarry are very tricky people who should not be trusted and I have been fooled twice now. After years of telling @ebarry that I was not an organizer, I ended up doing a lot of it (props to @steviepubliclab who helped me a lot during that time, too. And after years of saying that I'd like to contribute code but I don't program in Ruby, I made a commit and am very excited to learn!

And finally @icarito for not coming over to my location and murdering me for making the site crash. In fairness to me, I did not expect for ~6 mo of user data to be larger than a different download I did of 3 years. I now download stats using a VPN. You missed your only opportunity.

And now, I present to you the fruits of your generosity (more documentation (and hopefully some discussion to come):

commented

Hold on, I'm minimizing files...

commented

PS: can someone ELI5 why the check-in is in a different place each time as opposed to just being on plots2? Not a criticism, just peculiar.

commented

Okay. Enjoy! web_dev_2016_2019.pdf

It's awesome 😍 !!

We open check-in in different repos every week so that each repo gets attention, increasing activity, contributors might end-up exploring that project 😅. But, yeah, it may be tough for a user to find the check-in issue.

commented

I love that! I opened an issue with an idea about how we might balance the benefits of doing so while still having a central list for people to find the current and past ones. I'm not sure the process for resolving proposals, but if people can take a look and weigh in at some point, that'd be great. I now return us to our regularly scheduled gratitude.

commented
commented

Thanks @ebarry! Completely agreed, I think it really captures the push for outreach and growth in the community. What I also find fascinating are the changes in tool focus and in one instance a convergence between two connected by data logging.

To me, it really speaks to why the work on the tags interface that edie_blues (forgive me I can't find their github username) has been working on, and the newly implemented tag graph will be really useful.

I hope the Q&A example will also help us understand engagement, and it's actually the visualization that made me think about interfacing this site and the Q&A on the publiclab.org because it really didn't represent all of the Q&A's that are happening over here!

More in a write up.

Hi @harshkhandeparkar, you would be opening next check-in right?

commented

@gauravano I'd like to open the next check-in after @harshkhandeparkar's if no one's already booked that spot. Thanks!

commented

Also, @gauravano, would it be possible to add issue 5627 to the template so all new check-ins will reference the community check-ins list? For background see the issue here.

Maybe after the explanation of this weeks check-in?

"You can find the list of links to previous weeks check-ins [here](issue 5627)."

Or perhaps with the "new people" welcome? I put the additional text in bold just to highlight it now, I'm not saying the text should actually be in bold. As an aside, note that the phrase "You can find them at" does not have a link.

If you're new here, welcome 🎈 and please comment a Hello message below, we love to work with you. You can find our list of previous check-ins [here](issue 5627). If you're looking for new issues, please try some of our first-timers-only issues.
You can find them at <--missing link

Anyone else have any ideas where that might go?

Sure @rexagod!

Hey @skilfullycurled, I have updated the above issue body and added the text after the check-in theme for now. Also, fixed the missing link. Thanks!

commented

Hey everyone, sorry for being late for the check-in. I have a lot of gratitude to express to everyone who has helped me out here.
Especially, @jywarren and @gauravano who helped me out and guided me whenever I needed to find a way or was stuck in any problem. Thanks a lot for solving all my queries and doubts and for showing me the path whenever I needed guidance. I would also like to thank the whole community at large for collaborating and making this project so awesome. Thank you.
Cheers to the Public Lab community. Cheers to a better environment. 🎉 💯 😃 🎈
