Week from 2021-05-15T18:30:00Z → 2021-05-21T18:30:00Z

Attendees: Yohan, Jayasanka, Gajindu, Gimhan, Heshan, Piumal, Anjula,Miluckshan, Kumuditha

Sef Site:

  • Yohan suggested:
    - To come up with a design template
    - Update data on some pages
    - Add some new pages for blogs and knowledge sharing session

  • Jayasanka - Site doesn’t have some vital information like:
    - Physical mentoring sessions
    - GSoC mentorring sessions
    - No page for the Dev team, with sections like why somebody would need to join sef dev team, and testimonials from the current team members, knowledge sharing sessions
    - IRC Blogs
    - We only have the faces of the researchers, better if we can put a table or something to put the data on their researches, there should be a way to sort those people,
    - Onelive page lacks some latest details

  • Make the website content rich, have to come up with a solid design

  • Redesigning is the next step

    • There would be structural changes, like onelive page
    • Ramith is going to go through the site and give the feedback
    • We have to update the already existing tables, we have to add new ones too, (like gsoc mentoring page, dev team page)
    • Gimhan will be introduced to ramith and divya to cordinate the redesigning of the site
    • Gimhan suggested to divide tasks and create few issues and take it on week by week
    • For the dev team page we have to come up with the stuff needed to be put in

Academix:

  • We need more content, the site is up
  • Gimhan suggested maybe we can use google forms to get more data

ScholarX:

The current sprint:

  • Kumuditha worked on some responsive issues and cleaned the mentor list
  • Anjula - Implemented a view to display mentor applications
  • Jayasanka suggested some improvements
    • Decrease the font size of the questions
  • Nethmi - Updated the previous PR

Mentee application implementation.

  • The new feature breaked the entire structure
  • Because the concept of application has been changed. Previously the mentee’s applied for mentors; Now it has been changed to applying for mentees.
  • There are lot of compilations errors
    -Jayasanka explained the current EER of the application

Plan for the pilot run

  • Use the previous version
  • But we need two more things
  1. Link the question form
  2. Create mentee view to upload answeres

2021-05-22T18:30:00Z → 2021-05-28T18:30:00Z

Attendees : Yohan, Jayasanka, Piumal, Anjula, Heshan, Gimhan, Milukshan, Janeth, Madhawa, Kumuditha, Kalsha, Gajindu

SEF Site:

  • Jaysanka shared a link with Janeth with the scholarx 2019/2020 mentee blog links

  • Janeth has created two issues to add those links into the relavent scholarx archive pages

  • In the same document there were some IRC intern data

  • On the current IRC page we don’t have those data do we have to add them?

  • Jayasanka suggested to come up with a table to keep additional information on IRC researches

  • Heshan - Move ahead with the current plan to add mentee blogs but keep the data in a JSON file without putting them into HTML directly

  • There were two more issues on mobile responsiveness and Gajindu is working on them

  • Janeth had created a separate page for the dev team

  • He had divided the team page into two separate pages as dev-team and lead community

Suggestions:

  1. Jaysanka - Keep the team page as it is and create a new one for dev-team

  • Need to highlight:

    – What is the dev team

    – How to join the dev team

    – Meet links (ex: Add to calendar)

    – Achievements

    – Yohan - Maybe we can have a section on the homepage itself for developers

    – Should we make a new page for upspeak?

    – Create a thread or ask Minuri or Akshika on slack

  1. Gajindu asked if he can make the other “show less” buttons on the site as well

ScholarX:

  • Kumuditha implemented the following

    – Adding the google doc on the application page

    – Displaying the application

  • Heshan worked on including the Linkedin URL

    – We are not storing Linkedin URLs in the current implementation

    – the UID’s won’t work

    – therefore needed to use vanity_name. It requires a new scope (basic profile).

Sprint Plan:

  1. Deployment (Gimhan)

    – Create a new dino

    – Deploy a stable version

  2. Prevent admins from editing the questions after mentor application phase

    – Fixing from the frontend

    – Backend - Maybe Later

  3. Linkedin URL

    – Figuring out linkedin app permission (Heshan)

    – Backend Column (Heshan)

    – Linking to the frontend (Kalsha)

  4. Creating a backlog for the frontend (Milukshan)

    – Best practices in the codebase (Anjula) , (maybe Neith?)

    – Edge cases (Don’t create issues. Create a new thread and comeup with a thread) SchoalrX Platform Scenario

    • Login (Madhawa)

    • Admin flow (Kumuditha)

    • Mentor Flow (Milukshan)

    • Mentor Listing (Mentee flow - Don’t think about application) (Gajindu)

  5. Creating a mockup for a fresh design

  6. Fixing the backend structure (Heshan, Jaye, Yohan, Piumal)

    – Before next Wednesday
