Metakgp:Meetups/2016-09-23

Attendees:

• Ayush Goyal
• Harsh Gupta
• Sidharth Kannan
• Vivek Rai

• Next weekend, 30th September will be a good date for election as it will give enough time for preperation and isn't also too far away.

• We'll create a voters list from the list of wiki contributors and email everyone about the elections

• The election portal will be a simple web app, where people will enter a unique key privately given to people by the election coordinator and select their candidate. The web-app, will not track who voted for whom and will simply give the aggregate result after the alloted period.

• We plan to sit this together this Sunday for a editathon. Few things to do during the editathon are:

• New Programmers Guide -- A guide to orient new programmers
• Create a Screen cast + Video describing what Metakgp is and how to edit existing pages and how to create new pages.
• Write "How to check book dues"
• Clean up TODO
• Mark pages which needs work, which are incomplete and which are outdated

• We plan to make a post about MFQP on Saturday evening, starting a week long drive to collect the question paper. Everyday we'll release stats about how many papers we collected on that particular day and how contributed the most number of papers.

• We also need to talk to the examination in-charge of our respective department asking for previous question papers.

• We should make regular posts highlighting the good articles + acknowledging the work of the editors.

• We need to ask our friends to write the following guides:

* How to prepare for GATE
* How to prepare for CAT
* How to prepare for UPSC
* How to prepare for PhD Applications

• The server is being transferred to Vivek's account.

• It was decided that to maintain the server we all should contribute some amount of money.

• It was decided that we should move the DNS from Vikrant Varma to Ayush Goyal or a common account the credentials to which are held by multiple people. This will let the switching of DNS records happen without friction.
