[1442.24 --> 1450.24] the the first seven teams uh you mentioned projects like diaspora padrino and several other |
[1450.24 --> 1456.64] kind of neat uh ruby rails based projects uh several coaches that are prominent and open source and have |
[1456.64 --> 1462.08] kind of been there and kind of help pave the way um kerry miller's a name i'm seeing just quickly in the |
[1462.08 --> 1470.64] list uh eric michaels ober previous uh on the on the changelog um and a couple others but i try to link |
[1470.64 --> 1476.40] over to the apply page just kind of just to kind of get an example of what you were asking about |
[1476.88 --> 1482.88] and i think just to maybe separate some of the confusion it sounds like it's a team um so you |
[1482.88 --> 1488.08] kind of have to do some self-organizing prior to applying and maybe a little bit of research on which |
[1488.08 --> 1493.60] project and also making a note for listeners if you're going to the link uh applications are closed |
[1493.60 --> 1498.88] right now so it seems like um we're a little too close to the the finish line to talk about applying |
[1498.88 --> 1504.64] this year but next year obviously hopefully things come back but what are the i guess all that to say |
[1504.64 --> 1510.24] well you know what are the the details around um making up your team applying what are some of the |
[1510.24 --> 1515.60] questions that were asked when applying that you kind of look at as criteria was the project selected |
[1515.60 --> 1521.04] was it the people you know what was it that got you you know that made you a team and got you through |
[1521.04 --> 1529.92] the application process oh that is super different category but i think the basic one is that um you |
[1529.92 --> 1538.16] have to have a pair so we figured that um the two is the best number on this so you can actually pair |
[1538.16 --> 1549.36] program and keep each other motivated um and um yeah you have to have a pair and and and and a coach |
[1549.36 --> 1558.16] that actually or who can actually help you um some hours a day um in the beginning and and in the end |
[1558.16 --> 1565.28] that depends sure you will get a lot more done by yourself but that's pretty important that you have |
[1566.48 --> 1573.20] one or more coaches i think one team had six or something that actually depends on if you're at the |
[1573.20 --> 1582.08] at a company that said yeah sure you have you can have all coaches 24 7 um yeah but the what was |
[1582.08 --> 1586.80] your question the questions i'm thinking of like i'm thinking like the application process and now |
[1587.44 --> 1593.52] just hearing some of those details you mentioned now i'm thinking about you know it's three months long |
[1594.08 --> 1599.76] um you know jerry's question asked about whether it was local or kind of worldwide which is worldwide and |
[1599.76 --> 1605.84] there's no real location for it so and even some of it will take place you know just you know primarily |
[1605.84 --> 1612.16] online for a lot of people uh getting involved so now i'm thinking of like what happens when i'm like |
[1612.16 --> 1617.20] lost i'm in the woods you know what kind of support structures do you have in place uh you know maybe |
[1617.20 --> 1623.36] what did you learn from last year that's changed for this year to to make um completion and making |
[1623.36 --> 1629.60] being part of a team easier and just not getting lost do you want me to answer that one yeah yes |
[1630.48 --> 1637.20] i thought so um so like first of all they all have a mentor for their project right and then there is |
[1637.20 --> 1644.64] one or more coaches that will help them out that were already predefined um and then so last year we had |
[1644.64 --> 1651.84] a remote help desk um in irc where everyone could just log in and help people out if they wanted to do |
[1651.84 --> 1657.04] yeah that's that's pretty neat uh this year we'll go with campfire to make it a little bit easier for |
[1657.04 --> 1662.64] the students because we noticed last year at irc it has a quite steep learning curve apparently for |
[1662.64 --> 1668.80] for people just starting out um and we'll be partnering up with a few companies that i cannot |
[1668.80 --> 1677.28] name yet but we will really quickly uh that will um that will help us amend the help desk um for for a |
[1677.28 --> 1682.72] longer period of time because we you know there's the different time zones and sometimes there were |
[1682.72 --> 1688.32] no not enough people online to help help students out when they had a problem so we'll try and have |
[1688.88 --> 1693.92] have three coaches in there at all times so that you know people are actually you they can actually go |
[1693.92 --> 1699.36] there with all of their questions i think that's very important and we're determined to make this |
[1699.36 --> 1709.20] better this year yeah and um if you're lost not in a programming kind of way or learning way um but |
[1709.20 --> 1718.88] have problems with your i don't know family or teammate or get bullied from a coach or a member any problem |
[1718.88 --> 1725.84] you might have we have i'm i'm really glad i'm really happy that we are um having this year we have a trust |
[1725.84 --> 1733.76] committee and that's actually consists of members that are um involved in the organization i think |
[1733.76 --> 1740.48] it's ven and me that you can turn to with all your problems and we have i think three or four four |
[1740.48 --> 1746.96] external people four yes um that are not involved in the organization so that they can stay impartial |
[1746.96 --> 1753.60] and then can mediate between the students or the coaches or whoever turns to them with their problems |
[1753.60 --> 1760.08] and and the organization so they can help you figure out any kind of problems you might have and um |
[1760.96 --> 1768.56] yeah so that we can make sure everybody feels comfortable and not i don't know we want to |
[1769.52 --> 1776.08] we want to have a safe space and we'll work uh towards that and i think with the trust committee that's a big |
[1776.08 --> 1784.32] step to make or to help people feel as comfortable as they might feel in such a program yeah i guess |
[1784.32 --> 1788.08] you're right because i mean you can get lost on a couple different levels one you can lose just |
[1788.08 --> 1796.16] motivation maybe you're in the fringes either self-inflicted or you know you mentioned the trust |
[1796.16 --> 1801.76] part of it where you might be getting bullied or um you know harassed who knows what what could |
[1801.76 --> 1807.04] potentially happen but then you could also be on a learning curve a little lost and needing some of |
[1807.04 --> 1812.32] the guidance and obviously having a strong team with strong leaders is going to be you know helpful |
[1812.32 --> 1817.28] helpful to that so that's that's neat to have that in place especially the real-time communication too |
[1817.28 --> 1822.56] around like campfire or rc last year because i was just thinking like man when you get in the middle |
[1822.56 --> 1831.28] of this i know how i feel sometimes with projects um i tend to be an island um just self-induced |
[1831.28 --> 1838.24] anyways and so when i get lost the only person i really have to to cling to is jared and andrew |
[1838.24 --> 1844.40] obviously but um you know a little closer to the heart is my wife so you know i've kind of got my own |
[1844.40 --> 1849.84] personal support structure that i kind of leverage and and cling to so i just wondered what um |
[1849.84 --> 1856.64] y'all are doing for for this during that during that that three months but um another topic i think |
[1856.64 --> 1864.32] is important to to talk about is um i guess the crowdfunding was did y'all do crowdfunding last |
[1864.32 --> 1872.32] year too or is this a new thing this year and can you kind of speak to um you know having not only |
[1872.32 --> 1878.56] corporate sponsors but um i guess those who contribute and those who are part of the community giving |
[1878.56 --> 1885.36] their own personal dollars to support the cause and essentially um fundraise to to pay for |
[1886.88 --> 1890.24] um i guess what do you what do you call that what's the what's the word for that |
[1890.88 --> 1895.12] the scholarships yeah i was looking the word gap me for a second but scholarships so i mean you got 19 |
[1895.12 --> 1899.20] scholarships eighty thousand dollars raised right now what's what's the background here on this |
[1900.24 --> 1905.84] yeah so last year it was a crowdfunding campaign as well so um yeah this was always uh |
[1905.84 --> 1912.56] achieved by the um achieved by the community and we have of course some strong leaders uh as companies |
[1912.56 --> 1921.92] who are giving a lot of money uh like github or google open source or um yeah floor was very heavily |
[1921.92 --> 1929.52] involved uh with this this year so you probably can name some other wonderful companies but uh also of |
[1929.52 --> 1935.60] course individual donors and this year we even have like an app where you can notch your |
[1935.60 --> 1941.76] not your family and friends to give more money which is pretty awesome but yeah maybe flo you can |
[1942.32 --> 1950.16] tell a bit about that yeah i think what's very exciting is the crowdfunding uh part about it if i speak for |
[1950.16 --> 1957.44] myself for instance so um i i gave of course i gave some money and i gave some money as well last year |
[1957.44 --> 1963.12] and for me my motivation is really that when i just entered the ruby world everyone was so |
[1963.76 --> 1971.12] so nice and so welcoming and everyone wanted to help me um and i found the rails girls guide so helpful |
[1971.12 --> 1977.12] and uh and the event so helpful that i just really wanted to give back and what we hear from a lot of |
[1977.12 --> 1982.56] people backing this project is that they similarly also want to give back to the community |
[1982.56 --> 1991.68] um i think that's what drives the the crowdfunding campaign so well so and go ahead yeah and the |
[1991.68 --> 1997.12] connection like last year since then folks was so heavily involved here like all the people that |
[1997.12 --> 2001.92] loved travisci and and the work that they did and the the involvement they had in the community |
[2001.92 --> 2011.92] actually um he nudged them all i guess like pulling all nighters and um and got a lot a lot of awesome |
[2011.92 --> 2017.44] feedback and that's how it worked last year and this year we have a lot of people that are of course |
[2017.44 --> 2022.32] saying oh yeah i did it last year i want to do it this year again because this is such a great cause |
[2022.32 --> 2027.76] and this is where i'm always so in awe and think wow this is such a great community |
[2027.76 --> 2034.48] so i was going to ask it looks like just tons of support looking just at the sponsorship page |
[2034.48 --> 2039.84] and how much money has been able to raise is really awesome how much does it cost to send a team through |
[2039.84 --> 2045.44] or a student um what does the each student get for the three months and then i'm curious follow-up |
[2045.44 --> 2049.36] question curious if cost of living and those kind of things are factored into that at all |
[2049.36 --> 2061.28] that's a really good question so we uh calculate uh five thousand us dollars per student okay and |
[2061.28 --> 2070.80] that's with some buffer um for the um the courses the dollar might uh have or the euro or wherever you |
[2070.80 --> 2078.48] are that you're getting the money so um that's important and um yeah and we actually are asking the |
[2078.48 --> 2085.60] students to calculate the cost themselves and and we ask them what they can live off we say okay we |
[2085.60 --> 2094.08] we we can pay you 1.5 thousand us dollars a month not thousand you can live off oh yeah you're right |
[2094.08 --> 2102.72] sorry um mathematics she was right i got our calculators out yeah i'm getting my calculator out right now |
[2102.72 --> 2112.80] okay no okay no and uh yeah and so we we say okay 1.5 is yours if you want it but if you but we didn't |
[2112.80 --> 2119.60] do any calculation for any kind of uh country or living costs because i think that depends |
