Hi,I need some help with my RGSoc application. My team requires a coach, can anyone help us regarding this. Working remotely is also fine with us. We just want someone who can help us in this project.

It’s lispyclouds, same as the username here. I can be the coach, but just wanna make sure if @plexus wanted to take this up? Otherwise I’m more than happy to be the coach!

plexus 2020-03-25T07:35:28.009300Z

I'm already "project mentor" which is similar but different πŸ™‚ so go for it! Keep in mind @rmailbox1004 that ideally you should also find coaches locally (I see you're in Bengaluru?)

lispyclouds 2020-03-25T07:40:05.012Z

Yes, talked to them and confirmed it 😁 Yes being local would’ve been ideal but I found out now due to the corona lockdown in India people are located pretty far off from each other and remote working too. So I guess time zone is the only issue, better from this weekend.

Yeah we have some coaches closer to us also @plexus .Thank you for the help.

plexus 2020-03-25T08:44:27.013500Z

you're right @rahul080327, I was thinking the same. I'm guessing there will be a lot more "RGSoC From Home" this year

Hello @rmailbox1004, I can help here if you haven't found someone already or if @plexus themself may not have time. Arne and I know each other through the Berlin Clojure community and discussed about this and if anyone needs help I can try to help! πŸ˜„

Riya 2020-03-25T06:31:24.005800Z

Thank you so much @rahul080327😊. We would be happy to have you as our coach.I will add you to our team as coach.

lispyclouds 2020-03-25T06:34:47.006100Z

Happy to help!

Riya 2020-03-25T06:55:48.006500Z

@rahul080327Can you please share your github handle, if you are already registered in RGSOC teams app so that I can add you to our team Bits&Bytes as our coach. Kindly please confirm to the role also.Thank you so much:blush:.

Hello! I am thinking of also applying for RGSoC. I live in Brussels and I could commute a bit from here (but not sure yet if my teammate could, I will find out), so I am looking for potential coaches from around Belgium or the Netherlands. Other places are alright too, of course, working remotely is also an option for us. πŸ™‚ About me: I am new to Clojure, last year I read "Clojure for the Brave and True", played around with some basic tutorials online, but left it at that to focus on my thesis. I would like to get back to Clojure next summer. As for unit testing, I used py.test for some courses in the past, but nothing related to Clojure or Kaocha. There is some more information about my experience with programming in my RGSoC profile: https://teams.railsgirlssummerofcode.org/users/5979

Aleksandra Samonek 2020-03-25T15:48:48.021400Z

Oh, also, we are looking for at least 2 coaches (ideally 3 people) ❀️

plexus 2020-03-25T16:38:33.022Z

hey @asamonek, so cool πŸŽ‰ welcome to Kaocha!

there's a #clojure-belgium channel, pretty quiet I believe but worth a try

plexus 2020-03-25T16:39:56.023200Z

I'll see if I can poke some people... sadly I have fewer Clojure connections in Belgium than I should at this point

Aleksandra Samonek 2020-03-25T16:42:53.025900Z

Thank you so much! To be honest, by now I am so used to remote work that coaches can be from anywhere as long as time zones allow for meetings at reasonable times. I will try #clojure-belgium just in case. πŸ™‚
