XSF Discussion - 2011-11-10

interesting: https://grove.io/ ... IRC with a pretty face :)

"IRC is a popular communication protocol" ... with almost no authentication whatsoever.

dwd: maybe that's why it is so popular!

stpeter, According to come documents I've been reading, this is indeed a key factor.

Thanks.

I'm losing track of the things I need to finish before getting on a plane to Taipei in the morning

stpeter, "packing".

yeah, I'll do that tonight

I'm talking about poking WG chairs, finishing some presentation slides, updating XEPs, etc.

Thanks Peter.

hmm, XEP-0258 is keeping the XMPP Registrar busy for a little while here, will publish that one soon enough :)

Heh. Yes, I hadn't realised that one was missing from the push.

schemas, namespaces, etc. -- I like to make sure everything is in place before I publish the updated spec

done

hmm but http://xmpp.org/xmpp-protocols/protocol-namespaces/ is out of date

something to do over lunch :)

OK, http://xmpp.org/xmpp-protocols/protocol-namespaces/ updated as well ... although I don't know who uses those pages :)

bbiaf

brb

meeting in 10 minutes?

yes

as will I :/

hi @all

hi Alex!

Hi Alex.

ok guys, lets start our meeting

you can see our agenda here: http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/xsf/meeting-minutes/xsf-member-meeting-2011-11-10/

1) Call for Quorum

as you can see 36 members voted via proxy, so we have a quorum

we have 56 members

64% turnout which is not bad ;-)

:)

better than American elections!

2) Items Subject to a Vote

Board and Council

you can see all applicants here: http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Board_and_Council_Elections_2011

3) Opportunity for XSF members to Vote in the Meeting

anybody here who has not voted yet and wants to vote in the meeting?

Not here.

Nor me.

ok, then I start working on the results

Alex, Might want to correct Kev's surname while you're there. :-)

Oh, yes. That'd be nice :)

whatever :P

I hadn't scrolled down yet.

ok, I will

ok

4) Announcement of Voting Results

when you reload the page at: http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/xsf/meeting-minutes/xsf-member-meeting-2011-11-10/ you see the results

all 5 board applcants were accepted

Florian gets top votes - they know who gets them fed... :-)

top 5 for council are: Matthew Wild 88,89 Kevin Smith 86,11 Matthew Miller 83,33 Tobias Markmann 69,44 Ralph Meijer 63,89

some close voting for Council :)

yes

Indeed.

5) Any Other Business?

XMPP Summit? or shall we bring that up at the first Board meeting?

If there's anything to say here. But we can call for an open meeting on that later, too.

yeah

I'm a bit distracted with IETF 82 prep this week

but I'll post to the members@ list about a meeting time -- week of November 21 would work for me

summit prep should be fairly streamlined - we have carryover of folks to help with the new folks

6) Formal Adjournment

Seconded.

I motion that we adjourn

Alex, Thanks.

Thanks Alex.

Danke Schön! :)

no problem

we can start voting on membership now ;-)

sigh

yeah

I still would like to get rid of all the voting, but that's a bigger issue

sorry I'm late

Florian: you are the new king!

heh, so I heard

and get a shiny new wooden crown

haha

nearly the same council, only Fritzy replaced by Tobias

yeah, I voted against some of those old-timers :P

Alex: I can update the list membership for the board@ and council@ lists

okay, I don't think that I have permissions for that. You are the chief for all teh lists ,-)

Alex: I am, but volunteers are welcome to help with list administration :)

when you send me the passwords I can do that, they change only once a year

I can send you the passwords for the xmpp lists (of course we also have jabber.org lists on the same machine)

list administration doesn't take much of my time, so it's easy enough for me

ah, just found an error on the website

Florian: impossible!

the link is wrong for the minutes

let me see if I can log in :)

ok, lemme fix

I'm logged in ... I can fix it if you want

ok

done

thanks

ok, will post to members@ about a summit chat

sounds good :)

is this a good time of day?

or do we want something earlier?

for me normally not on a Thursday

any other day, yes

it would probably be Tuesday or Wednesday -- Thursday is a holiday in America (at least for November 24)

message sent to members@

I might even have time to work on the validation project after I get back from Taipei :)

lance and I talked while we were at krtconf - good basic talk about how to start on the testing framework

cool :)

hmm, need to email the board list to have first meeting scheduled

bear, Are we all subscribed already?

dwd: I need to add people

stpeter, Can you sort me out with a WordPress account, please? (Or can you, Kev, if you've access?)

I can, please hold

I can, but not while I'm downstairs.

stpeter, No rush, I can wait until tomorrow when Kev can do it.

almost done

hmm, 4 folks didn't vote for me - I need to do better :(

heh

dwd: credentials sent via IM

bear, You did better than me - I hardly annoyed anyone, it seems.

oh, in that case I consider that to be a major curmudgeon win
