board - 2010-06-01

hey

hello

so I guess we'll have a meeting tonight?

everyone seems to be around, we just kinda forgot to formalize the date... are you available in an hour?

ah .. nvm :) saw the mails :)

I wasn't sure if it was today or tomorrow

brb

http://typewith.me/PUtTuIGVtN

Etherpad being down...

yeah I miss etherpad

Will is offline...

isn't it in an hour?

8pm BST?

ah

I have no idea -- I prefer UTC anyway :)

I won't be there in one hour

hmm

Will said he'd be here in 30 mins (7:30pm UTC+1)

it's up to you

would 30 mins from now be ok?

should work for me

ah not for me unfortunately, I'm sorry...

should we pre-roll the meeting now then?

Will will join us later on, and we can go over some points again?

WFM

so the agenda at http://typewith.me/PUtTuIGVtN says: XMPP Summit? GSoC? IETF? Website?

anything else?

not atm ...

ok

let's see

so ... XMPP Summit

I've been travelling for the last two weeks so I'm far behind

I probably won't be able to attend the Summit -- possible, but it seems unlikely right now

I

I'll know more in the next week or two

ok ...

anyway I shall ping my O'Reilly contacts RIGHT NOW

if it happens I will be there to help

great :)

I sense a lack of energy in the XMPP community, but perhaps a Summit will increase the energy level

there is a lot of activity - but it needs some "sunshine" to let others know

perhaps

lots of small clumps happening

yeah

well at least Sift was released to beta :P

:)

I still have the FOSDEM interviews hold in the blog...

the articles needs to be written though

I can help with those

I also sense a slowdown

maybe we can create an audio podcast with those interviews

yes, please: if you want to review/write those articles

we can just pubish them as is

I'll ping you tomorrow about them :)

as said before, no need to be pro

ok

what can we do on the website?

I guess for that we'd need Will here

as he's been the main guy working on the new website

ah ok

email sent to O'Reilly

great

cool, thx

ok, GSoC update?

bear: you, I guess?

students are starting to code, mentors are mentoring - we shuld be having our first meeting this weekend

I will be ramping up my pain-pokes if I don't see a web blog by this weekend

so far i've only seen one

i'm also going to be poking folks to idle in the gsoc muc

Which several do, to be fair.

anythng you want to add kev?

what's the muc?

can we write a blog-post about it?

gsoc@muc.xmpp.org

Or whatever the name of our muc service is :)

oh sure, they are - it's only a couple that ar not

heh ok

Where did we get to on books?

muc.xmpp.org yes

I know some students have already bought TDG, which is a shame if we're going to buy them copies.

Are we doing books this year?

Kev: I have been utterly remiss on that score

as on many other things

I can buy them and shipthis weekend if tht's ok

and bill the xmpp later

sure

that's what I did in 2008 (?)

If board are OK, I'd propose a copy of TDG, Pragmatic and GTD for each student.

Or ask whether they'd rather TDG or Strophe.

That probably eats about 1/5 of the money the XSF will get from Google.

Kev: makes sense (if the student already has TDG, might prefer Strophe -- or might prefer it anyway :)

Kev: which is XSF's primary income, right? :)

Tobias: don't remind me :P

but that's a topic for another day...

:)

yes, good idea, if you vote later, count me as +1

Nÿco: ok!

anything else on GSoC?

Nothing that needs Board attention, I think, unless Board want info on anything.

I see "IETF?" is an agenda item, what would you like to know?

there is a working group last call on rfc3920bis right now

no feedback yet

either that means it's perfect or people are too busy to review it :)

The timeframe's short on that, right?

traditionally WGLC is 2 weeks @ IETF

I think it might be extended

we can blog the last call also...

at least that's what the chairs have hinted

Nÿco: um yeah good idea :)

I'll do that after this meeting

I think it'd take me a couple of days (or more) to do a review, and I don't have that time spare at the moment.

cool, thx

Anyway, Board. *shuts up*

it does take time to read the whole thing

~175 pages

anyway

I'll send out further pokage

and bloggage

after that, we'll do the same thing with 3921bis

but I think we'll need another revision of that because I've found some issues

Might be good - even I found issues ther.

:)

for the website, we'll need to ping Will

ok, I'll need to leave you now, I'm sorry-sorry-sorry... :'(

Nÿco: no problem!

thanks

thank you all, bye

https://stpeter.im/index.php/2010/06/01/last-call-on-rfc3920bis/

great :)

also sent to standards@xmpp.org

so ... I guess just website is left ...

and that's with Will?

yes

so I guess we'll take a short break?

we're doing that already :)

:)

except I'm madly processing email

i am here now

i got quadruple booked

but i could only get out of so many :)

hehe

that's scary

yea, this time slot is very popular when dealing the EU folks and PST folks

:)

so will is showing up in 10m?

so we hope

ok. i'll be back shortly then.

k

http://blog.xmpp.org/index.php/2010/06/ietf-happenings/

hmm ... no idea where Will is :/

yeah me neither

I guess, if he's not coming, let's move the last item, the website discussion to the next meeting

sure

and let's schedule that one now ...

when is the next meeting?

heh

ok

sometime next week?

this time next week would work for me

that way we can have a full meeting next week :)

jack: how's that for you?

Yeah. Should work dine

Fine even

great

I'll post the minutes to the board list then

I will send an email about it when I'm back at the house

should we publish it?

ah, or you can post it if you want

+1

ok ...

+1 about posting to board list, people can review and then we can forward to members@

ok :)

ok :)

See you guys around. Time for lunch here :)

Florian: edits finished

cool, I'll post it to the list then

thanks
