Yes, please coordinate with kirsten@gitlab.com for a 25 minute Google Hangout with me, please link to this comment in your email to her. If the advice is generic enough we might work with you to publish it https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/ceo-pref... (you have a final say in what gets published). This process was also used to produce the OP.

Sid, willing to meet with us too? It'd be very appreciated!

(I totally understand you can't do this for everyone who'll ask.)

P.S. I'm also open to a peer feedback session for anyone else applying!

I'd be happy to. Shall we make it a video call other people can join too? Tomorrow, Saturday, at 11:00 Pacific?

I'll be in https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573 at that time for anyone that can discuss their application publicly.

If you attend please comment so, if you can't also comment so we can try to find an alternative.

By the way, I'm a YC participant and not a YC partner. I don't speak for YC and I'm just trying to help.

Sounds great, looking forward to chatting with you and others!

Great, looking forward to it too.

wildfire looks kindof cool.

Yeah, jnpatel (Jay's) app http://www.wildfireapp.io/ does look cool. I wonder how they get the data for that.

I got curious too; in the Berkeleyside article about it, they say "right now, posts come from a combination of community users, Wildfire staffers and local news partners, including Berkeleyside. To verify information, and decide whether or not to push out an alert to the community, the team checks posts against what is released by authorities and the local media, too."

I'm waiting for you in https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573

I'm seeing "Please wait for the host to start this meeting"

Sure, I might show up.

I'm in on this, thanks very much.

You're welcome

Hope to see you in https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573

We will be there as SalesLoggr,we are sending our application to the email address on the comment above thanks for doing this

Awesome, see you there.

Hi we have been waiting with Glenn and Jay on this link

https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573

I waited for 10 minutes but everyone was late or the conference call wasn't set up correctly, I'm back now.

I'm glad that we ended up talking to each other eventually. Sales loggr looks great. I hope you make it in.

Hope to see you in https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573 right now

Just tried to jump on. Host was not on. Will try again. Thanks so much for this. Super helpful.

Oh wow that's awesome. Thanks! Will send an email.

Great, looking forward to it.

Sid, are you willing to meet with us quickly too? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Sure! Are you able to join https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12616194 ?

If possible, private would be better for us. I'd be happy to make literally any 25' slot you have over the next 2 days. This is really generous of you, and we really appreciate it. Thanks!

No problem, please email kirsten@gitlab.com to coordinate a time, please link to this comment, if you want it the next 2 days my preference is Sunday 4pm Pacific but I'm not sure that works for you. I propose we do https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/ceo-pref... (you get to redact the notes)

The time and process are both fine by us. Just sent an email to Kirsten -- thanks for taking the time again!

Glad to hear that works. See you on Sunday.
