Agenda

  • Welcome

  • Office hours (#32)

    • Session notes: https://github.com/r-devel/rcontribution/blob/main/office_hours/
    • Ran again on December 1 and January 12, booked times for February 9 and March 9.
      • Would work better for Gabe to have AMER hour shifted 30min later
      • HT to check with Elin
    • Several sign-ups on LinkedIn, but high no-show rate. Only one non-facilitator attended in Dec/Jan.
    • Still made use of time to look at bugs, leading to following fixes:
    • Changes to R Dev Guide made in GSoD 2022 have been helpful, e.g pointed new contributor to this, who subsequently got set up to build R on Linux; also used as reference for lifecycle of a patch.
    • Attendance
      • Using Zoom registration vs sharing details didn't seem to help (no sign-ups that way)
      • Will ask R Consortium if we can have a group on their Meetup Pro account.
      • Should also promote via R Weekly.

  • Translation via Weblate (https://translate.rx.studio/)

    • Gergely Daróczi has prepared a patch on Slack: https://r-contributors.slack.com/archives/C0210D7EN1X/p1674051583230129
      • Updates since the summer
      • Contributions to 8 languages: Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified), English (United Kingdom), French, Albanian, Spanish, Korean, Italian
      • 18 contributors, 3486 strings
      • Can see impact of LatinR translatathon. Community introduces a bit of friendly competition!
      • Potential contacts for AsiaR translatathon if/when we run that.
    • There is a dashboard that you can look at : https://translate.rx.studio/projects/r-project/#languages
    • GB: Could be award badges for certain number of translations? - GD: Will look into this. List of top 10 translators: https://translate.rx.studio/stats/
    • GD: Will check on the high percentage of failling checks as GB pointed out. Probably due to the trailing whitespace in Japanese translations?
    • AN: Will start working on translation to British English.
    • AD: Will look at French translations.

  • Google season of docs

  • Google summer of code

    • Creating a Linux Container to build R-devel on Windows (maybe also Mac?). As discussed in November RCWG meeting.
      • May get "for free" from R Repositories working group. Although they are talking about Docker, which isn't so easy to set up on Windows.
    • Possibly more work on the R Journal project
    • More work on https://contributor.r-project.org/translations/ - incorporating stats from Weblate?
    • Some community platform for triage of bugs?

  • R Project Developer Sprint:

    • Dates now set: Wednesday August 30 - Friday 1 September.
    • Venue: University of Warwick, UK.
    • Formal announcement with webpage etc to appear in coming weeks

    • Possibility of R Contributor event. Bug BBQ? Translatathon?
