3rd July 2017
Hello World! Today marks the first day of Rails Girls Summer of Code 2017. We woke up 6am, to a chilly Melbourne morning of 8 degrees celsius, in order to get our kids off to childcare and into the Zendesk Melbourne CBD office by 9am.
We were warmly greeted by one of our coaches Adel Smee, who settled us in and introduced us to some of the Zendesk team.
In the morning, we participated in a 30min Meditation session, which was an fantastic way to start off RGSoC. Meditation helps manage stress, aids in focus and aligns well with our project ifme.
We had lunch with Adel Smee and Adam Rice to kick off our first day and mark the occasion at YUZU. After lunch Simon Hilderbrandt stopped by to assist us with setting up our daily logs. Tim Moore was also available online to answer any questions we had.
