XSF Discussion - 2020-01-11


  1. moparisthebest

    I went ahead and made the change, looking forward to the voting https://github.com/xsf/xeps/pull/876

  2. flow

    moparisthebest, I think you need first 5% of the membership to "ask" for the voting

  3. jonas’

    flow, nowhere was stated in the PR on here that moparisthebest expects this particular PR to be voted on by membership

  4. flow

    jonas’, true, I'd just wanted to point out to moparisthebest that just doing a PR will probably not lead to a vote

  5. Kev

    It will.

  6. flow

    ok, to a vote by board?

  7. Kev

    It'll automatically (well, with Editor action) trigger a vote by the approving body (Board).

  8. jonas’

    correct

  9. flow

    I somehow assumed that moparisthebest expects a membership vote. But anyhow, not in the mood for bureaucracy, I'm in the mood for coffee and a little bit of coding

  10. jonas’

    get both!

  11. jonas’

    (I also added the PR as a card to the Board trello)

  12. moparisthebest

    Sorry yes meant looking forward to board vote

  13. moparisthebest

    I don't see anything we are doing or could possibly do to maintain that guarantee so it makes sense to remove

  14. dwd

    You know it's not a guarantee, but an objective, right?

  15. moparisthebest

    An impossible one though

  16. moparisthebest

    Might as well guarantee anyone implementing a xep gets rewarded with milk and cookies

  17. jonas’

    perfection is the enemy of good

  18. jonas’

    objectively, we can try to avoid encumbaranced(?!) specifications more realistically than we can get everyone milk and cookies

  19. jonas’

    even though that’d be awesome too

  20. Ge0rG

    I'm sure that getting milk and cookies for an author whose XEP makes it into draft is well within the XSF capabilities

  21. Ge0rG

    And probably even within the scope

  22. Daniel

    can we get that policy up and running before we vote on http upload next week?

  23. Ge0rG

    Daniel: I don't think so, Board meetings are a day after Council

  24. moparisthebest

    Daniel: quick put in a crazy pr against it to delay it
