[12/26/15, 8:38:16 PM] P15: yes, Hello Wu
[12/26/15, 8:38:20 PM] P15: Sorry about my late
[12/26/15, 8:38:38 PM] Yu Wu: No problem! Is everything OK with you?

[12/26/15, 8:39:04 PM] Yu Wu: pretty well
[12/26/15, 8:39:12 PM] Yu Wu: Is it a good time now for a chat?
[12/26/15, 8:39:30 PM] P15: How long will it takes?
[12/26/15, 8:39:38 PM] Yu Wu: 30~40 mins
[12/26/15, 8:40:02 PM] P15: ok
[12/26/15, 8:40:07 PM] Yu Wu: Thanks a lot :)
[12/26/15, 8:40:17 PM] Yu Wu: So let’s start
[12/26/15, 8:40:28 PM] Yu Wu: I’m wondering how long have you been as a professional software engineer?
[12/26/15, 8:40:37 PM] P15: 3 years
[12/26/15, 8:40:56 PM] Yu Wu: What motivated you to create awesome-* project? What problems it try to solve?
[12/26/15, 8:41:33 PM] P15: because I see many other awesome-*, awesome-*... so as * developer I think I should create one for it.
[12/26/15, 8:41:54 PM] P15: Try to collect some useful resource to help * developer save time.
[12/26/15, 8:42:27 PM] Yu Wu: What about save your own time? Do you think the list you created save you from search the same items repeatedly?
[12/26/15, 8:43:43 PM] P15: Save time means I will have a quick overview to all * Resource(Book, article, link,...) it's good for beginner programmer instead of try to search on Google
[12/26/15, 8:43:55 PM] P15: yes, it helps
[12/26/15, 8:44:23 PM] Yu Wu: Got it! Did you try to get your project into the meta awesome list https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome?
[12/26/15, 8:45:03 PM] P15: not yet, because I see another good * repository like I did
[12/26/15, 8:45:05 PM] Yu Wu: And then you found out there’s another one about the same topic?
[12/26/15, 8:45:12 PM] Yu Wu: yep this is what I meant
[12/26/15, 8:45:18 PM] P15: so I will try to contribute to this repository instead(https://github.com/sergeyklay/awesome-*)
[12/26/15, 8:45:31 PM] Yu Wu: Did you contribute to ***/awesome-* already?
[12/26/15, 8:45:48 PM] P15: not yet
[12/26/15, 8:46:14 PM] Yu Wu: Did you learn a lot from the resources you collected in your own project?
[12/26/15, 8:46:32 PM] P15: sure, a lot
[12/26/15, 8:46:45 PM] Yu Wu: Could you elaborate a little bit on what you have learned?
[12/26/15, 8:46:59 PM] Yu Wu: Some examples will help
[12/26/15, 8:48:13 PM] P15: yes like how to organize you resources, what * could do, because I am just solo developer so I dont know all the aspect of the framework, by collecting resource help me open knowledge about this.
[12/26/15, 8:48:27 PM] Yu Wu: Awesome!
[12/26/15, 8:48:48 PM] Yu Wu: I’m wondering why did you choose to host the project on GitHub instead of, say Wikipedia or your own blog?
[12/26/15, 8:49:25 PM] P15: as developer, I think github is the best place for developer to collaborate with other to build good resource.
[12/26/15, 8:50:26 PM] Yu Wu: Do you mean you are familiar with GitHub as a tool, and it can target at the right audience?
[12/26/15, 8:50:51 PM] P15: yes
[12/26/15, 8:50:57 PM] P15: and a lot of developer use it.
[12/26/15, 8:51:13 PM] Yu Wu: Do you use other awesome lists as well?
[12/26/15, 8:51:51 PM] P15: yes, https://github.com/chiraggude/awesome-laravel and https://github.com/markets/awesome-ruby
[12/26/15, 8:52:30 PM] Yu Wu: Could you give me some scenarios of when you will use these two lists?
[12/26/15, 8:52:38 PM] Yu Wu: awesome-caravel and awesome-ruby
[12/26/15, 8:53:44 PM] P15: In weekend I will take a look on whole list and find out what I did not know and learn it.
Or when I need a library for building up some features I also can take a look on it.
[12/26/15, 8:54:26 PM] Yu Wu: So for learning the scope of these topics, and also for reference in your daily work, right?
[12/26/15, 8:54:33 PM] P15: yes
[12/26/15, 8:54:40 PM] Yu Wu: Great!
[12/26/15, 8:54:59 PM] Yu Wu: You mentioned to me that you and https://github.com/duythien co-maintain the repository, right?
[12/26/15, 8:55:06 PM] P15: yes
[12/26/15, 8:55:32 PM] Yu Wu: Do you personally know Thien Duythien or you and him just collaborate on this project online?
[12/26/15, 8:56:05 PM] P15: I know him on meetup in local
[12/26/15, 8:56:13 PM] P15: both online and offline
[12/26/15, 8:56:33 PM] Yu Wu: Do you and him talk about the list with others as well?
[12/26/15, 8:57:09 PM] P15: yes a lot, when we create awesome-* we discuss and search other repositories for references.
[12/26/15, 8:57:46 PM] Yu Wu: Did you receive suggestions and recommendations from others about what resources to include?
[12/26/15, 8:58:08 PM] P15: No, just me and Thien build up the list
[12/26/15, 8:58:43 PM] Yu Wu: If you have similar ideas, i.e. collecting resources of a certain topic, will you do the same thing?
[12/26/15, 8:58:56 PM] P15: yes
[12/26/15, 8:59:44 PM] Yu Wu: What are the other benefits you think you got from creating/maintaining the list, in addition to what we already discussed?
[12/26/15, 9:01:31 PM] P15: Learn about how to create/contribute to opensource project. I am new to it.
[12/26/15, 9:02:09 PM] Yu Wu: Oh, did you mean use GitHub to collaborate on open source projects?
[12/26/15, 9:02:17 PM] P15: yes
[12/26/15, 9:02:55 PM] Yu Wu: Great! Did you also encounter any difficulties, drawbacks, or unsatisfactory parts during your creating/maintaining of the list?
[12/26/15, 9:03:59 PM] P15: - lack of commitment (from myself)
- make it popular so we can get more people contribute to it.
[12/26/15, 9:04:21 PM] Yu Wu: Ok, got it! I think I pretty much covered all I want to ask
[12/26/15, 9:04:26 PM] Yu Wu: Thank you so much!
[12/26/15, 9:04:31 PM] P15: no problem
[12/26/15, 9:04:35 PM] Yu Wu: If something comes up in the future, can I followup with you?
[12/26/15, 9:04:42 PM] P15: sure anytime
[12/26/15, 9:04:53 PM] Yu Wu: Great! It was nice chatting with you!
[12/26/15, 9:05:03 PM] P15: thanks, nice to meet you too.
[12/26/15, 9:05:10 PM] P15: Nice weekend.
[12/26/15, 9:05:17 PM] Yu Wu: You too! See you later!
