Guillaume
Hi all
Kev
Quite the turn-out.
Nÿco
so, you wanna have that meeting?
stpeterhas joined
Kev
Nÿco: Entirely up to you. I don't have anything interesting to say :)
Nÿco
I just would like to have people contribute
Nÿco
everybody has its own opinion on what this CommTeam can/should/must do
Nÿco
I think I'm gonna go on alone with the Roundups and that's it until we get a team
Kev
I would like to help with stuff, but the number of XSF-related things I do is fairly high already (Not that it isn't for you too), so spare time is something of an issue.
Nÿco
I know, don't worry
Nÿco
don't feel guilty! ;-)
Nÿco
I know how hard you work
Kev
Perhaps we should start name-and-shaming members at re-application time who haven't done $STUFF :)
Nÿco
yes ;-)
Nÿco
beginning by what I've not done, or not in time, or not at all...
Kev
Well, what needs doing?
Kev
I know the roundups always need work.
Kev
Have people stepped up to maintain the new site yet?
Nÿco
yep
Nÿco
website review
Nÿco
maintain website content
Nÿco
write white papers (we said it was hard and time consuming, but people keep asking for such)
Nÿco
maintain more precisely the list of: services, clients, servers, libraries, etc.
Nÿco
do presentations
Nÿco
etc.
Kev
So there's no shortage of stuff to do.
Kev
How do we cajole people into doing it?
Nÿco
I just don't know... XSF members are more developpers...
Nÿco
I guess starting the wrok, and get people to review it?
Nÿco
any better idea?
Guillaume
for white papers, could we try involving companies ?
Kev
Guillaume: I did briefly consider that a moment ago.
Guillaume
They always want to do PR
Kev
It's not clear to me if this would work, but I'm happy to give it a go.
Nÿco
yes, but companies write white paper to praise their own products
Kev
As long as 'companies writing whitepapers' doesn't mean 'company writing how great their software is'
Nÿco
that's the point
Kev
and if it's not that, it's not clear how motivated companies will be to write them.
Kev
Maybe we could persuade people to write two-part whitepapers.
Guillaume
exactly
Guillaume
why they used XMPP, Y it's cool
Kev
One to say how great XMPP feature X is, which the XSF would publish, and then one that says why their implementation is the best, which they can publish themselves.
Guillaume
.. Y there product is cool
Guillaume
we could ask some company owners from the xsf if they would be interested ?
Guillaume
(issuing a joint Press communicate with XSF)
Kev
Thing is, I have no wish for the XSF to be associated with the part that says "And our software's the best"
Nÿco
with PR and whitepapers, we would hit the business people: is that what we want?
Nÿco
Kev: +1
Guillaume
PR also worls for developers
Guillaume
(works)
Nÿco
no, they are PR-proof ;-)
Kev
Although possibly not flame-proof :)
Nÿco
the message would be "And our protocol is the best"... maybe adding "You haven't fully understood it yet" ;-)
Guillaume
does the xsf do PR today ?
Kev
Which 'PR'?
Kev
Public relations or Press releases?
Kev
The XSF did Press releases a looong time ago, and decided to stop in favour of blogging (stpeter will remember this better than me).
Guillaume
ok, and i'm guessing no press relations from what you said
Nÿco
we can use the Social Web these days...
Nÿco
most of the most influentail techies websites are not traditionnal press these days... and it may last
Nÿco
writing long PR and whitepapers is... boring, time-consuming, etc.
Nÿco
microblogging is fun
Kev
And still time-consuming :)
Nÿco
maybe we can setup something on this front ?
Nÿco
yes ;-)
Kev
The XSF has an identi.ca account, I believe.
Kev
I'm sure we could set up XSF-News or something if we want to have another one.
Guillaume
how do we communicate today to the influential techies blogs ?
Kev
We don't.
Nÿco
we do
Kev
We do?
Guillaume
humm
Nÿco
follow them on Twitter, mention them, get caught, say interesting, relevant stuff, and that's it
Guillaume
It could maybe be usefull to identify the blog owners and inform them of new XSF blog posts by mail ?
Nÿco
yep
Nÿco
ignite public discussions on Twitter
Nÿco
so, let's get more "Social'?
Nÿco
I need to go now...
Nÿco
I feel we must open up our gates to the outside world, and get people to join in
Nÿco
ok, done?
Kev
I don't have anything else.
Nÿco
ok
Nÿco
thx Kev, thx Guillaume
Nÿco
bye
Kev
Thanks Nÿco
Guillaume
thx !

So, does this OneTeam work?
will.shewardhas joined
Florian
Meeting?
will.sheward
i thnk so
will.sheward
it *is* tuesday right? :-)
Florian
I'd say so
Florian
But it seems that Tuesday is a really bad day
will.sheward
all work days are bad days!
Florian
Hehe
will.sheward
ok - so it's just you and me then.
Florian
So... Anything urgent? I'd say let's fall back to the ML
will.sheward
I'm looking at (http://typewith.me/EyJg4G3XSr) - minutes from the last meeting to see if there's anything we need to cover now. Can you do the same?
Florian
Eh.... The iPad can't find that pad?
will.sheward
really? how odd
will.sheward
ha! one of the items was "Peter noted that we could ping members@ list 24 hours before Board and Council meetings"
will.sheward
so, clearly doing that would have been a good idea
Florian
Heh
Florian
Yup
Florian
Let's reschedule a meeting for another date?
stpeter
oops
will.sheward
ok - i can see jack online (idle) but not nyco. So yes, let's ping the Baord list and reschedule
stpeter
I was here but I didn't realize it!
stpeteris feeling a bit off today
will.sheward
i think this one's a washout stpeter
stpeter
hmph ok
will.sheward
nyco had a commteam meeting today i think, he might have got the 2 mixed up a bit?
stpeter
right
will.sheward
stpeter: who maintains jabber.org <http://jabber.org> site content?
Kev
Nyco was at the commteam meeting,but had to leave to do other things.
stpeter
I do
will.sheward
jehan pointed out that a lot of the xmpp.org <http://xmpp.org> links from jabber.org <http://jabber.org> are incorrect. can you sort me out with a login so i can correct?
Kev
Are we still in the process of setting up the redirects so the old URLs work?
Kev
I'm not opposed to fixing jabber.org as well, but we should probably persist the old links on xmpp.org
will.sheward
kev: i need to compile a list i think
will.sheward
wwe should correct incoming links that are in our power to correct i think
Kev
I don't disagree.
will.sheward
I should think not, slacker
will.sheward
ok - so lets mail the board list with a request for another date. I think I'll go out for a run
