Hi everybody ๐ !
We all at Public Lab ๐ - 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 ๐ฏ . You are also welcome to share fun-fact ๐ , new ideas ๐ก , your learning goals โ๏ธ .
We believe in collaborative efforts to support our community. We are running a learning platform which helps a newcomer to become master of tomorrow. ๐ฏ
If you're new here, welcome, and please comment a Hello below, we would love to work with you. If you're looking for new issues, please try some of our first-timers-only issues.
We're SO EXCITED to have your help!
Is there anything, you would like to share with us from past week's work? What is your plan for this week?
If you have not planned yet, just leave a Hello! ๐ so that we know that you are in sync with us ๐ and doing well!
The coming weeks will be full of code ๐ป , tasks ๐๏ธ, fun ๐ and excitement ๐!!
As always, if you're waiting for a review, or if you're stuck, please request help here OR leave a comment with @publiclab/mentors @publiclab/reviewers for some input. ๐

This week's theme
The theme for this week is - "Share your challenges and grow together". ๐ฅ We all are part of this supportive community wherein we take tasks that are totally new to us and every task or some particular ones bring new challenges, share your recent challenges and how you kept fighting to get your task done and experienced that gush of happiness.
Recently I faced it with "Text over Image" feature in image sequencer wherein things were consistently messy, sometimes the image disappeared and the other times the font. But this was my feature, and I was not ready to stop. ๐โโ๏ธ I kept on trying posts and debugging for issue areas. Finally, the persistence paid off and I made it!! ๐ I have learned that a dead end is only when you stop trying. If you want something, set your mind to it keep on challenging yourself to do it.
For the soc students especially, the months ahead will be a challenge but follow "Plan, conquer and enjoy" ๐
I would love everyone to share their experiences.
You can find our list of previous check-ins here
Note to Summer of Code interns:
Hi, we request all the SoC students to include the below-mentioned points in their check-in comment:
- FTOs created in the previous week
- Progress for your project
- Upcoming week's goals
- PR reviewed by you in the previous week
- Work completed last week.
- What things you did collaboratively last week? This is really important we want team spirit.
It is like a weekly scrum. Be flexible.
- Feel free to tell us about your absence too, if you're taking a break.
- Issue/PR you're struggling with (if any)
With FTOs and PR reviews, we are seeking to develop a much more friendly and collaborative platform. We want you all will involve people in your project. You all will develop skills like leadership along the way.
Thank you!
