GuillaumeHi all
KevQuite the turn-out.
Nÿcoso, you wanna have that meeting?
stpeterhas joined
KevNÿco: Entirely up to you. I don't have anything interesting to say :)
NÿcoI just would like to have people contribute
Nÿcoeverybody has its own opinion on what this CommTeam can/should/must do
NÿcoI think I'm gonna go on alone with the Roundups and that's it until we get a team
KevI 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.
NÿcoI know, don't worry
Nÿcodon't feel guilty! ;-)
NÿcoI know how hard you work
KevPerhaps we should start name-and-shaming members at re-application time who haven't done $STUFF :)
Nÿcoyes ;-)
Nÿcobeginning by what I've not done, or not in time, or not at all...
KevWell, what needs doing?
KevI know the roundups always need work.
KevHave people stepped up to maintain the new site yet?
Nÿcoyep
Nÿcowebsite review
Nÿcomaintain website content
Nÿcowrite white papers (we said it was hard and time consuming, but people keep asking for such)
Nÿcomaintain more precisely the list of: services, clients, servers, libraries, etc.
Nÿcodo presentations
Nÿcoetc.
KevSo there's no shortage of stuff to do.
KevHow do we cajole people into doing it?
NÿcoI just don't know... XSF members are more developpers...
NÿcoI guess starting the wrok, and get people to review it?
Nÿcoany better idea?
Guillaumefor white papers, could we try involving companies ?
KevGuillaume: I did briefly consider that a moment ago.
GuillaumeThey always want to do PR
KevIt's not clear to me if this would work, but I'm happy to give it a go.
Nÿcoyes, but companies write white paper to praise their own products
KevAs long as 'companies writing whitepapers' doesn't mean 'company writing how great their software is'
Nÿcothat's the point
Kevand if it's not that, it's not clear how motivated companies will be to write them.
KevMaybe we could persuade people to write two-part whitepapers.
Guillaumeexactly
Guillaumewhy they used XMPP, Y it's cool
KevOne 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
Guillaumewe could ask some company owners from the xsf if they would be interested ?
Guillaume(issuing a joint Press communicate with XSF)
KevThing is, I have no wish for the XSF to be associated with the part that says "And our software's the best"
Nÿcowith PR and whitepapers, we would hit the business people: is that what we want?
NÿcoKev: +1
GuillaumePR also worls for developers
Guillaume(works)
Nÿcono, they are PR-proof ;-)
KevAlthough possibly not flame-proof :)
Nÿcothe message would be "And our protocol is the best"... maybe adding "You haven't fully understood it yet" ;-)
Guillaumedoes the xsf do PR today ?
KevWhich 'PR'?
KevPublic relations or Press releases?
KevThe XSF did Press releases a looong time ago, and decided to stop in favour of blogging (stpeter will remember this better than me).
Guillaumeok, and i'm guessing no press relations from what you said
Nÿcowe can use the Social Web these days...
Nÿcomost of the most influentail techies websites are not traditionnal press these days... and it may last
Nÿcowriting long PR and whitepapers is... boring, time-consuming, etc.
Nÿcomicroblogging is fun
KevAnd still time-consuming :)
Nÿcomaybe we can setup something on this front ?
Nÿcoyes ;-)
KevThe XSF has an identi.ca account, I believe.
KevI'm sure we could set up XSF-News or something if we want to have another one.
Guillaumehow do we communicate today to the influential techies blogs ?
KevWe don't.
Nÿcowe do
KevWe do?
Guillaumehumm
Nÿcofollow them on Twitter, mention them, get caught, say interesting, relevant stuff, and that's it
GuillaumeIt could maybe be usefull to identify the blog owners and inform them of new XSF blog posts by mail ?
Nÿcoyep
Nÿcoignite public discussions on Twitter
Nÿcoso, let's get more "Social'?
NÿcoI need to go now...
NÿcoI feel we must open up our gates to the outside world, and get people to join in
Nÿcook, done?
KevI don't have anything else.
Nÿcook
Nÿcothx Kev, thx Guillaume
Nÿcobye
KevThanks Nÿco
Guillaumethx !

FlorianSo, does this OneTeam work?
will.shewardhas joined
FlorianMeeting?
will.shewardi thnk so
will.shewardit *is* tuesday right? :-)
FlorianI'd say so
FlorianBut it seems that Tuesday is a really bad day
will.shewardall work days are bad days!
FlorianHehe
will.shewardok - so it's just you and me then.
FlorianSo... Anything urgent? I'd say let's fall back to the ML
will.shewardI'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?
FlorianEh.... The iPad can't find that pad?
will.shewardreally? how odd
will.shewardha! one of the items was "Peter noted that we could ping members@ list 24 hours before Board and Council meetings"
will.shewardso, clearly doing that would have been a good idea
FlorianHeh
FlorianYup
FlorianLet's reschedule a meeting for another date?
stpeteroops
will.shewardok - i can see jack online (idle) but not nyco. So yes, let's ping the Baord list and reschedule
stpeterI was here but I didn't realize it!
stpeteris feeling a bit off today
will.shewardi think this one's a washout stpeter
stpeterhmph ok
will.shewardnyco had a commteam meeting today i think, he might have got the 2 mixed up a bit?
stpeterright
will.shewardstpeter: who maintains jabber.org <http://jabber.org> site content?
KevNyco was at the commteam meeting,but had to leave to do other things.
stpeterI do
will.shewardjehan 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?
KevAre we still in the process of setting up the redirects so the old URLs work?
KevI'm not opposed to fixing jabber.org as well, but we should probably persist the old links on xmpp.org
will.shewardkev: i need to compile a list i think
will.shewardwwe should correct incoming links that are in our power to correct i think
KevI don't disagree.
will.shewardI should think not, slacker
will.shewardok - so lets mail the board list with a request for another date. I think I'll go out for a run
FlorianOk
FlorianHave fun doing healthy stuff :p
stpeterbrb
will.shewardit's the only way i can justify a beer later
