    Blah, the diff tool isn't working. This is going to make checking Kurt's diff somewhat harder.

  27. m&m

    yeah

  28. m&m

    noticed that earlier this morning

  29. Kev

    https://gitorious.org/xmpp/xmpp/commit/c1d9716bfe7e0171a8b82a5f69da811d3e2f0d1b

  30. m&m

    hrmph

  31. m&m

    ok, now that is loading (-:

  32. Kev

    Righty, it is time.

  33. ralphm has joined

  34. ralphm

    hi

  35. Kev

    I don't see Tobias online.

  36. Kev

    Hi Ralph.

  37. Kev

    1) Roll call.

  38. Kev

    I'm here.

  39. m&m

    presente

  40. Kev

    I have apologies from MattJ.

  41. ralphm

    I'm here

  42. Kev

    Tobias seems missing.

  43. Kev

    2) XEP-0258 Accept 1.1? http://xmpp.org/extensions/diff/api/xep/0258/diff/1.0/vs/1.1rc1 http://xmpp.org/extensions/tmp/xep-0258-1.1.html

  44. Kev

    This is a simple change, I'm happy with it.

  45. ralphm

    that first link doesn't work for me

  46. Kev

    Yeah, it's down. There's a git diff further in your scrollback.

  47. m&m

    There's a typo in the first sentence s/returned/return/

  48. Kev

    m&m: So there is.

  49. m&m

    https://gitorious.org/xmpp/xmpp/commit/c1d9716bfe7e0171a8b82a5f69da811d3e2f0d1b

  50. m&m

    otherwise I'm +1

  51. Kev

    That's editorial, so I think we can ask Peter to just fix it as he pushes the new version.

  52. m&m

    /nod

  53. ralphm

    oh right, +1

  54. Kev

    3) Obsoleting compliance

  55. Kev

    Peter'd like to obsolete the obsolete compliance suites.

  56. Kev

    Seems sensible to me. Keeping the latest version not obsolete also seems sensible to me.

  57. m&m

    right

  58. m&m

    no objections from me

  59. ralphm

    I've come to terms with the fact that those entities we would like to strongly get into compliance will not actually be coerced into that by these compliance suites at all.

  60. Zash

    Time for compliance suite 2013 soon? :)

  61. ralphm

    that said, I'm +1 on obsoleting the obsolete

  62. m&m

    I'd rather have "Now THAT'S What I call Compliance 7" or some such … not actually based on a year

  63. Kev

    ralphm: I think there are entities that can be encouraged by this marketing ploy if they know about it.

  64. Kev

    ralphm: And keeping the 'current' one not obsolete?

  65. ralphm

    Kev: I am thinking of the truly big entities, like Google.

  66. ralphm

    Kev: yeah

  67. Kev

    Cool.

  68. Kev

    4) XHTML-IM to Final (do I need to publish an updated version?)

  69. Kev

    Has Waqas's feedback been addressed yet? I thought it hadn't.

  70. m&m

    has Waqas provided feedback?

  71. Kev

    Was it not Waqas? Someone had found bunches of security holes in various implementations, and we/Peter were/was going to update the XEP to discuss them and suggest it's better if you don't have them. I'm pretty sure that was Waqas.

  72. m&m

    I remember Waqas saying he found a bunch, but I never saw was that list was

  73. m&m

    maybe it was shared with a limited party

  74. Kev

    Ah, maybe he didn't send it, then.

  75. Kev

    I don't recall seeing it, it's true.

  76. Kev

    OK, I'll chase Waqas, then.

  77. m&m

    in which case, his publicized concerns have been addressed, IMO

  78. m&m

    please

  79. Kev

    I'd rather delay Finaling it until it's clear that they're addressed.

  80. ralphm

    Aren't those basically implementation issues. I don't think the actual protocol will need to change.

  81. ralphm

    so that's ready for Final

  82. m&m

    I don't remember seeing a list, so I don't know if they were implementations or actual protocol problems

  83. ralphm

    possible editorial clarifications or security notices can always be added if needed

  84. m&m

    how about we give him a fortnight to publicize the concerns?

  85. m&m

    assuming Kev chases him down soon

  86. stpeter has joined

  87. Kev

    How about we go for after FOSDEM?

  88. stpeter

    sorry I'm late

  89. m&m

    that works

  90. Kev

    It's not clear to me whether I'll be able to do meetings between now and then anyway.

  91. Kev

    stpeter: Forgiven :)

  92. ralphm

    +1

  93. stpeter

    I can ping Waqas

  94. stpeter

    I too recall some possible implementation stupidities (really)

  95. stpeter

    like allowing silly CSS stuff

  96. m&m

    even though they're NOT RECOMMENDED in the spec

  97. stpeter

    IIRC they were things that you'd have to be really stupid about in HTML, but I suppose some people are

  98. stpeter

    m&m: right

  99. m&m

    I just can't find that list

  100. Kev

    stpeter: OK, if you're pinging him fab, thanks. One fewer thing for me to forget to do.

  101. m&m

    (-:

  102. Kev

    5) Date of next meeting.

  103. ralphm

    stpeter: stupid is usually just throwing the incoming stuff verbatim into an HTML renderer

  104. stpeter

    ralphm: among other things, yes

  105. Kev

    I'd quite like to delay until Feb, depending whether other people are OK with that.

  106. stpeter

    Kev: seems OK

  107. ralphm

    +1

  108. m&m

    wfm

  109. Kev

    OK, so next meeting whatever the first Wed in Feb is, normal time.

  110. Kev

    6) AOB?

  111. stpeter

    reading the log, I'm not quite sure what to do about the compliance suite specs -- obsolete them all? (it seems some folks think it might be beneficial to have a "living document")

  112. Kev

    stpeter: I think we agreed to obsolete all but the latest.

  113. ralphm

    what Kev said

  114. stpeter

    right, and then figure out what to do

  115. stpeter

    sure

  116. stpeter

    WFM

  117. m&m

    exactly

  118. stpeter

    will do, then

  119. Kev

    Ta.

  120. Kev

    Any OB?

  121. m&m

    none from me

  122. stpeter

    none here

  123. Kev

    I will be at FOSDEM, BTW, although I still need to book stuff (I think I wasn't sure last time we had a meeting).

  124. Kev

    So, I think we're done.

  125. stpeter

    ok

  126. Kev

    Thanks all.

  127. stpeter

    yep

  128. Kev bangs the gavel.

  129. stpeter

    thanks indeed!

  130. ralphm

    stpeter: did we come up with a final room schedule?

  131. stpeter

    ralphm: I don't think so -- will work with bear on that today or tonight

  132. ralphm

    ah, ok

  133. ralphm

    I should be around tonight (for me) as well

  134. ralphm

    if needed

  135. ralphm

    hard dead line is tomorrow

  136. stpeter

    ok thanks

  137. stpeter

    yes

  138. stpeter

    got it

  139. stpeter

    so I'll get to work on that sooner rather than later :)

  140. stpeter

    but first, some tea :)

  141. stpeter

    brb

  142. Kev

    I think there was some confusion over whether talks were for FOSDEM or the summit.

  143. Kev

    Last I saw on the list.

  144. stpeter

    aha

  145. bear

    that confusion was only with me I think

  146. stpeter

    hi bear :)

  147. Kev

    Well, I wasn't sure, so at least I was confused as well.

  148. bear

    I like to share my confusion with others it seems ;)

  149. stpeter

    heh

  150. stpeter

    generally all the talks are for FOSDEM unless they're too geeky

  151. Kev

    Right.

  152. bear

    does fosdem have that speaker app/tool again?

  153. stpeter

    bear: oh yes

  154. stpeter

    bear: it's quite the fun thing IIRC

  155. bear

    yea, I remember using an earlier version of it

  156. stpeter

    bear: will ping you via PM here soonish to coordinate, but first I need to get vaguely organized :)

  157. bear nods

  158. Kev

    bear: You're at FOSDEM this time aren't you?

  159. bear

    I leave sunday, but yes

  160. Kev

    Excellent.

  161. Kev

    I'm probably going to leave Sunday, myself.

  162. stpeter nods

  163. bear

    yea, I wasn't going to short my self by not going to at least one day of fosdem

  164. ralphm

    meating

  165. stpeter

    :)

  166. ralphm

    leaving after it, I think

  167. stpeter

    ralphm: I'm happy to see that you have your priorities in line :)

  168. Kev

    Are we likely to be meating on the Saturday or the Sunday?

  169. ralphm

    Sunday, I am guessing

  170. Kev

    Seems a shame to miss that, but I'm not sure I'll hang around long enough for the Sunday night.

  171. ralphm

    if florian is indeed going to fix Saturday for dinner

  172. Kev

    Oh. I thought the suggestion was much earlier for dinner - Thursday or whatever.

  173. ralphm

    last time I talked with him about it, he said that the place is closed on Thursday

  174. Kev

    Ah.

  175. ralphm

    Of course Friday is the pre-FOSDEM drink event. But I don't care for that as much.

  176. Kev

    Words fail to describe how little I wish to attend that :)

  177. ralphm

    used to be awesome with around 200 people

  178. ralphm

    But now first some zuurkool met spek.

  179. stpeter

    agreed on Friday

  180. bear checks...

  181. bear

    yep, leaving sunday morning

  182. Kev

    ralphm: I suspect it used to be awesome /for people who drink/ :)

  183. stpeter

    yeah, it's pretty insane

  184. stpeter

    the first time I went (still at L'Roi d'Espagne or whatever) it was fun

  185. stpeter

    so we'll simply need to make other plans

  186. Kev

    My preference, which doesn't count for much, would be to have the XSF dinner on the Friday and then just a meating on the Saturday.

  187. bear agrees with Kev

  188. stpeter

    that would work for me

  189. bear

    the dinner on friday can happen early enough to give time for the drinkers to wander over to the other event

  190. Kev

    Was there going to be a Board meeting after the Council meeting today, or has that habit stopped now?

  191. bear

    hmm, there could have been

  192. bear

    the only two things on the "must get done" list were the hotel and planning for fosdem

  193. Kev

    XSF meal is on the Thursday.

  194. Kev

    Just checked with Florian

  195. Kev

    I think Thursday is preferable to Friday :)

  196. bear

    same

  197. bear

    then the only item to finish is the speaker list, and we will be doing that later in the day

  198. bear

    let me send an email to the members list saying that so anyone can pipe up if they have something they are worried about

  199. Kev

    Fab.

  200. Kev

    It wasn't a case of needing a Board meeting to discuss anything, I just like to turn up whenever they are.

    sadness

  214. ralphm

    I missed 1 FOSDEM because of my master's thesis

  215. Neustradamus has left

  216. Tobias

    ralphm, what was your master thesis about?

  217. ralphm

    Tobias: a research vehicle for streaming video with graceful degradation

  224. ralphm

    our room is H.2213

  225. bear

    thanks ralphm

  226. ralphm

    but you may still finish it today, of course :-)

  227. stpeter

    ralphm: I will certainly do so this week, anyway, but will endeavor to get it mostly stable this evening

  228. bear

    stpeter - if you get the list wrangled on the wiki - I will do the data entry

  229. stpeter

    bear: ok

  230. stpeter

    the data entry is the fun part :)

  231. bear

    haha - well, i'm not going to take away your fun - just figured that was a good split

  232. stpeter

    for sure

  233. stpeter

    will ping you later, time for another meeting here :)
