10:02:43 <FranciscoD> #topic Introductions and roll call
10:02:58 <FranciscoD> siddharthvipul: not for today, I guess once we start doing a few things, we'll have stuff to put on an agenda?

10:03:24 <siddharthvipul> FranciscoD, fair enough

10:04:27 <siddharthvipul> .hello siddharthvipul1
10:04:28 <zodbot> siddharthvipul: siddharthvipul1 'Vipul Siddharth' <siddharthvipul1@gmail.com>

10:05:45 <FranciscoD> weren't there more folks over Telegram etc. that were interested?
10:05:48 * FranciscoD can't remember
10:06:23 <siddharthvipul> FranciscoD, I think so.. I guess no calendar invitation is the culprit (I created one as you suggested, have been doing the same for all)
10:06:27 <FranciscoD> King: would you like to log your introduction?
10:06:39 <FranciscoD> siddharthvipul: I sent out a reminder an hour ago, and another last evening
10:07:10 <King> of course
10:07:15 <siddharthvipul> FranciscoD, no worries, we can catch up :P and hopefully from next time we will have more people
10:07:16 <King> I have been here for years now
10:07:25 <FranciscoD> kital: you around? been a while :)
10:07:27 <FranciscoD> sankarshan: you too?
10:08:00 <tg-fedindia1> <i​amajaypathak> Hey, I'll join in 20-25minutes...
10:08:21 <siddharthvipul> @iamajaypathak, meeting will last just 30 minutes I think
10:08:26 <siddharthvipul> (22 minutes from now)
10:08:34 <FranciscoD> yeh, not a lot on the agenda today :)
10:08:46 <tg-fedindia1> <i​amajaypathak> Oops, Tomorrow? Then
10:08:52 <FranciscoD> are there any folks looking to get started with Fedora or contributing to Fedora?
10:09:08 <tg-fedindia1> <i​amajaypathak> Both
10:09:19 <FranciscoD> @iamajaypathak: the next meeting will probably be next year now
10:09:31 <siddharthvipul> lol yeah
10:09:32 <tg-fedindia1> <i​amajaypathak> Ouch, it hurts
10:09:35 <FranciscoD> I wanted to have a quick one before everyone went on christmas/new year holidays
10:09:51 <FranciscoD> just to get the ball rolling
10:09:58 <siddharthvipul> of course, in next meeting I will drop "we have been doing it for a year now"
10:10:15 <FranciscoD> In general though, if folks are looking to get started with Fedora, please ask away
10:10:21 <tg-fedindia1> <i​amajaypathak> I am damn new towards contributing, Like I know C, C++ and Py but don't know where to start and seeing a code makes me confuses
10:10:25 <tg-fedindia1> <i​amajaypathak> (edited) I am damn new towards contributing, Like I know C, C++ and Py but don't know where to start and seeing a code makes me confuse
10:10:32 <siddharthvipul> yess, I am also interested in helping :)

10:22:35 <siddharthvipul> so yay, excited
10:22:38 <FranciscoD> haha
10:22:43 <FranciscoD> I'm going away for 2 weeks next week

10:22:54 <siddharthvipul> FranciscoD, oh awesome, any specific plans?
10:23:00 <FranciscoD> finished my course and went straight to work etc.
10:23:05 <tg-fedindia1> <m​ihir_jha> ohh.. so used to work without any DE. At most I have encountered people using WMs. I will probably also become as proficient to be able to run OS using the terminal only xD
10:23:23 <FranciscoD> siddharthvipul: not really, can't do much with covid etc., so just stay home
10:23:32 <FranciscoD> the primary change will probably just be less screen time TBH
