[09:14:04]<mstenta[m]>Hi Noaht
[09:14:42]<mstenta[m]>Of course you can mention farmOS in your research!
[09:15:01]<mstenta[m]>If you publish anything, we'd love to link to it from farmOS.org
[09:16:40]<mstenta[m]>Thanks for the heads up regarding the broken link on https://farmos.org/community/press/
[11:58:35]<symbioquine[m]>Dev call on in a couple minutes if folks are interested https://meet.jit.si/farmos-dev
[12:02:16]<paul121[m]>be there in a few!
[13:44:17]<nickhudson[m]>Howdy y'all. My name is Nick. I am a farmer by day and moonlight as a developer as a hobby. I love what farmOS has going on and would love to be able to help contribute to the system, specifically the livestock side. I run 450+ head and our current system (farmbrite) gets the job done but you can tell it wasn't built with any industry experience. I look forward to dusting off some old skills and getting to know y'all. Any recommendations
[13:44:17]<nickhudson[m]>on how the new guy can get involved?
[13:45:13]<mstenta[m]>Welcome nickhudson !
[13:45:24]<mstenta[m]>We host weekly dev calls on Thursdays at 12 noon Eastern
[13:45:27]<mstenta[m]>(you just missed it!)
[13:45:40]<mstenta[m]>As well as monthly community calls: https://farmos.org/community/monthly-call/
[13:46:00]<mstenta[m]>Here's the weekly dev call link: https://meet.jit.si/farmos-dev
[13:46:35]<mstenta[m]>Would love to have you as part of the community!

[13:47:38]<mstenta[m]>If you want to get started hacking around, here are the docs for setting up a development environment: https://docs.farmos.org/development/environment/
[13:48:12]<mstenta[m]>The stack is basically Drupal / PHP / Apache on Docker
[13:48:29]<mstenta[m]>(But a lot can be done in other languages via API as well)
[13:51:57]<nickhudson[m]>I love this. I did see that there was a call today but didn't want to jump into it without introducing myself haha. I started to play with the dev last night on my localhost and loved the feel of it. Never spent much time working with Drupal so I am excited to finally get to know the system.
[13:52:48]<mstenta[m]>Awesome!
[13:53:03]<mstenta[m]>Don't worry about hopping into the calls - we're all friendly :-)
[13:53:27]<mstenta[m]>Drupal definitely has a learning curve to it - but once you start getting your head around it the power is hard to beat
[13:54:49]<mstenta[m]>It's also a massive open source project/community in its own right, so there are a lot of resources out there - "building on the shoulders of giants" :-)
[13:57:03]<mstenta[m]>I gotta run - but feel free to drop questions here or in the forum as you start exploring!
[13:57:09]<mstenta[m]>https://farmOS.discourse.group
[13:57:16]<mstenta[m]>Talk to you soon!
[13:57:56]<nickhudson[m]>I'm starting to see that. I started my career in the Wordpress realm many years ago and never paid much attention to any of the other CMSs. Ill continue to play with code and get my feet wet. Great meeting yall.
[14:02:35]<FarmerEd[m]>Welcome nickhudson: good to see another livestock farmer on board.
[14:17:31]<nickhudson[m]><FarmerEd[m]> "Welcome nickhudson: good to..." <- Glad to be here Ed. Great idea of putting FarmOS on a Pi.
[14:21:21]<FarmerEd[m]>Cheers, not entirely sure that idea was mine, just documented how to do it, as I couldn't find much info for Pi when I was setting up my farmOS.
[16:21:24]<symbioquine[m]>RE: farmOS-map pull requests from Dev call today;
[16:21:24]<symbioquine[m]>* https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS-map/pull/168
[16:21:24]<symbioquine[m]>* https://github.com/mstenta/ol3-google-maps/pull/2
[16:39:17]<paul121[m]>oh gosh, so the google maps issue was really only a dependency mismatch? no changes to the code required?
[16:42:24]<symbioquine[m]>I believe so
