XMPP Council - 2018-11-28

I've just realised I probably can't make the meeting today. Oops?

If you can make it earlier that’s fine for me, but not later. Or another day.

He then puts on his robe and wizard's hat...

I've always felt the room was circular. And dark. Probably lit by flaming torches.

hm

flaming torches, yes

I imagined it like the War Room I sat at during VDD2018.

Definitely circular.

first agendum: Is the council room circular, yes/no?

Chairs with very tall backs.

dwd, for sure!

I'm a little reticent to hold our first meeting without everyone able to come, actually - given we need to pick a chair (person, not furniture).

Who do we have present?

/me

Erm, poezio’s rstrip plugin. ^^'

Whoops, sorry. We started already

So that's everyone other than Kev?

apparently so

1) Proposal for a +1W meeting instead, with Kev and everyone.

OK. That's great, but I feel really uncomfortable trying to pick a Chair when one of us can't make the meeting.

+1w wfm

Link Mauve, Yeah, exactly that.

Link Mauve +1.

+1W WFM

But maybe we can collect volunteers until next week at least?

/me points at .. oh wait he said "volunteers"

Yeah, the wording was unfortunate. Let's go with "candidates"

Yeah, sounds good.

I think dwd did a good job last year

I’d be very comfortable with him doing it again this year.

I agree with jonas’

(I’d not be comfortable with doing it myself fwiw)

I think I did a terrible job last year, actually, but I can endeavour to do better.

so you didn’t hire Tedd? I (jokingly) thought that you did ;-) ✏

I am, BTW, trying to knock out a chatbot that can gather votes for us instead of manually copying them to a spreadsheet.

I have a vote module for foorl

hm, then again, I’d have to make it really persistent to ensure that no votes get lost across MUC disconnects and server reboots and stuff

It's quite tricky, votes have a fairly complex workflow.

mmm, now I want to build the thing ;-)

(btw, I thnik we all agreed on +1w, so we can call it a day, meeting wise?)

jonas’: there are more than enough open tasks in other projects :P

Yeah, Ite, Meeting Est and all that.

jonas’, I'll sling what I have into github somewhere the moment it's not completely embarrassing.
