Weekly Community Check-In #62 - Help New Contributors!

[Tlazypanda]

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. 💯

Help New Contributors!

This week we have had a good numbers of new contributors looking for issues to contribute to and help in reviewing their pull requests. Publiclab is a community that welcomes new contributors with ❤️ so let's try to make this process of contribution for these new contributors a cake 🍰 walk!

Here's how you can help!

• Create fto issues or fto-candidates
• Review fto pull requests
• Incase the new contributor feels stuck at any point for example the tests fail, help them out!

To Outreachy and GSoC students

Thanks for all the amazing work you have done so far 🎉 So we would like to know what great tasks you plan to take on this week 💯 If for any reason you would be away from keyboard , let us know in advance ✌️ Also sometimes tasks might get a bit overwhelming and we may find ourselves struggling but these are one of the many challenges we face in our lives - Celebrate these challenges, ask for your mentor's advice and maybe blog about it (p.s Outreachy's next blog topic is Everybody Struggles due on June 9th).

Happy Coding 👩‍💻

Thanks @Tlazypanda for opening 🎉 this also tagging @ioampatzidis

Welcome new contributors and hello more experienced contributors 😃 We are a little low on our stock of first-timers-only issues, and as @Tlazypanda requested above, if you are a little more experienced, a high leverage point contribution would be for you to take a look through some FTO-candidate issues fto-candidate issues which are meant to be solved by first timers but aren't well-formatted yet and see if you might be able to advance any into being a real first-timers-only 💥 🏆 first-timers-only They need to be well-formatted using the First-timers_Issue_Template. :yay:

[Tlazypanda]

Hey everyone! 👋 This week I worked on some accessibility issues and one performance related major issue (critical css and rest asynchronous loading) that needs to be tested out thoroughly 😅

I also wrote the second blog for Outreachy here - https://tlazypanda.github.io/opensource/2020/06/08/outreachy'20-blog2-everybody-struggles/ Please give it a read ✌️ Its more on our mental well being rather than a technical one 😛

@adityakpranav @esiebomaj @Yonttee @swarajpure @vinuch @ishika1727 @ioampatzidis Have opened some ftos here 🎉 #8004 #8005 #8006 #8007

Hey everyone, last week I worked in implementing a linting tool for PublicLab.Editor (publiclab/PublicLab.Editor#519) .This week I will try to improve code module and Bold module wrapping function based on further reviews

[NitinBhasneria]

Hey everyone, hope all are safe.
Last week I have made some changes in image module CSS. Implemented the popup issue and solved it. (jywarren/woofmark#3).
This week I will try to finish the Title B module issues and adding the features of seeing and removing the tagged post.
Currently, I am confused about how the suggestion in the title module works.
Thanks, everyone.

[Shulammite-Aso]

Hi all! So this week i want to start working on the UI for users to document bugs they come across in PublicLab.Editor, I already have the mock-up, what is left is to implement. I've also been trying to help with debugging Woofmark's difficulty with un-selecting tools or modules once they've been selected, I'll try to find some more time to look into it this week too.

Also I made my second blog post, here is the link https://shulammiteaso.wordpress.com/2020/06/09/everybody-struggles/

Thank you!!!

[jywarren]

Hi all! I'm back after some days offline and it's really wonderful to see everyone here, checking in with each other, helping one another out. Huge thanks to @Tlazypanda for opening this as well as for creating some FTOs for people!
