Willespecially as he's not here ;-)
Florianseconded
beardevious
Willstpeter now gets all the bad jobs
Florianhaha
jackAlexander is our current secretary, and he did a good job as I recall last year. Does anyone know if he's up for doing it again?
Willhe's not said as far as i know.
Florianhmm
FlorianI'd say ... let's ask him
jackI'd suggest we contact him and ask
Will+1
Florian:)
Willnote we're not contacting peter, just assuming
Florianhaha
jackI'll email them both right now
Willcool
jackBear, you seemed to be quite organized :) Want to ttake a crack at Chair?
Florian:)
bearwhat does that entail?
Willquick, vote him in while he's still typing on typewithme and doesn't notice ;-)
bear:P
Florian+1
jackmostly that you make some agendas
Willyou get to have a longer title than the rest of us and bang a gavel
jackalthough I guess nyco has been doing that :)
bearif it is just herding cats and making thingssmooth for others - sure
WillI second bear for big chairman role
jackThere might be a bylaw or two were you break tie votes for other things, but AFAIK none of that has ever been used.
beark
Willyou have no real power, we just get to blame you if things go wrong
bearwell damn, since you put it that way, where do I sign up!
WillI'm not hearing anything from nyco - is he here?
FlorianNÿco?
bearhe did a "lag test" about 15 minutes before the meeting started
Willlatency in france must be a b**ch
Florianlol
Neustradamus:D
Nÿcoyep
Willaha!
Florianhe's alive!
Nÿcomy client is
Nÿcolag-test
Nÿcoawful
Nÿcobut still I can follow
Florianusing OneTeam again? :p
Nÿcono, Psi+
Floriansorry ... just had to crack that joke :p
bearchuckles
Nÿcothe lag does not come from the client
jackAlex responded that he is up for secretary again.
Willcool
jack+1 from me
Willdito
jackother votes?
Nÿcoas for the chair, I'm comfortably sit, thx ;-)
Willlol
Florian+1
Florianok .. so the board is sorted?
Willi think so
Nÿcosort... of
Nÿconext item?
Florianyup
Nÿcobumonthly meetings?
Willregular meetings +1
Nÿcos/bu/bi/
NÿcoWed?
jackI am +1 for the regular meeting slot.
Florian+1
Nÿcothe biggest question will be time?
Floriangood time at the moment
WillI'm ok for this time
Nÿcowe have a timezone overlap, let's choose in this timeframe
NÿcoI'm ok too
Nÿco"17:00 aka 5:00pm GMT/UTC"
bearthis time or earlier is good for me
FlorianI can't do 16:00
Floriancan't do earlier than 17:00
Nÿcono one against this time?
Tobiashas joined
jackI think everyone confirmed.
Florianok ... great :)
bearcool, so bi-weekly at 1700 GMT starting today
jackNext topic, new website
Willitems on website....
Nÿcoevery two weeks, bi-weekly being twice a week
NÿcoRoundups:
Nÿcomy mistake I don't find time to publish them
Florianshouldn't that be something for the commteam?
WillThey were good, I'm happy to take lead in re-starting, with nyco's help
Nÿcook
Nÿcodrafts are in the wiki
Willi'll take a look tomorrow
Nÿcohow would like to work? go on with drafting on the wiki?
WillI think we should draft in the wordpress installation
Florian+1 for wordpress
Nÿco-1 for WP
WillI suppose it is less public
Nÿcothis wiki lets other people watch and contribute, like for example Neustradamus, who is a great help
Willso i understand where nyco is coming from
Nÿco?
Florianwhat about Etherpad?
Nÿco-1 for Etherpad: doesn't fit
jackI think the wiki is fine
Willi withdraw my +1 for WP and convert it to keeping with wiki
Nÿcoit is not optimal, I confess, but it works mostly
jackOr rather, I vote for whatever Nyco would prefer, since he is the one drafting most of them :)
Nÿcocan we have a better tool someday?
Willlol
Florianlol
jackNyco, what would you like in a better tool?
Willhow about google wave <snigger>
NÿcoI would define the roundups as being more successful, if we have more contribs, so any tool for contribs would do
Florianinstead of wave, I'd say etherpad
Willwe'll stick with wiki for the moment i think
Florianyeah
Nÿcoetherpad ahs no links, no traceability, etc.
Nÿcoetherpad is good for one-shots
Nÿcook
Nÿco"new website" agenda item: anything to add?
Willthe tables have stopped working (not editable) again, Kev is looking to see if permissions have changed. If he can't find a reason, we'll try another way of generating them
beari'm working on getting access to git and going to switch the services, libs and clients table to generated tool like what is used for xeps
Willplus the ics plugin that was causing the performance issues has a new version out which i'll try tomorrow probably....
Willwhich should enable us to at last fill in this page: http://xmpp.org/participate/future-events/
Willbear: that'd be good
Kevhas joined
bearyea, going to use the same input format if possible
NeustradamusI would like an update of the very old mediawiki version.
Nÿcomaintaining the tables data needs more contributions as well...
Nÿcocan we open the edition to some subsections of the website to special users?
bearthe person who maintains a spanish version of the tables has contacted me to help
WillNÿco: agree but we're short of volunteers at the moment.
Nÿcocool!
KevNÿco: I don't know if that's possible in wordpress, is it?
NÿcoI meant, can we do it technically?
Nÿcoah
KevI thought you had to be a sitewide editor, but I'm no wordpress guru.
Nÿcook, no fine grained persmissions?
bearif the tables can be generated then we can use git pull-requests :)
Nÿcoyes, from where?
Willno fine grained permissions as standard but we can set people up as contributors which means their changes would be held until released by someone with higher permissions?
Willi bet there's a plugin for that though (fine grained)
bearlet's let the current wp changes get made and then we could revisit the workflow
Willagreed
Willwalk first, run second
Nÿcook
Nÿcoanything else on the website?
Willnothing here
NÿcoI tend to agree on the Mediawiki version, but it's a low priority
Nÿconext item? Sponsors?
WillSponsors?
jackI will send an invoice to Collecta this week. They agreed to sponsor.
jackHas anyone asked anyone else? Perhaps we should ask Jonas and see if google is interested :)
beardo we have a list of past sponsors? and have they been contacted?
WillI've not yet started asking, but a generic message to members to see if they know of anyone (employyers?) would be a good idea
Nÿco+1
WillI think peter is our best source for list of past sponers...
Willi seem to recall we've talked about this before?
bearis someone working on the past list then?
Willi think "working might be stretching it
bear:)
bearok, i'll contact peter about the past list and do an email to member list about suggestions
Will+1 and we need to talk FOSDEM next meeting as well
bearI would put that at the top of the list then
Nÿcook
Nÿco
Next meeting:
2010-11-24 17:00 aka 5:00pm GMT/UTC
jackdid someone contact htem?
jackthe call for devrooms closed October 16th :(
Willjack: we have a devroom
NÿcoPlease, update your agendas
KevRalph has arranged a room for the Saturday, I believe.
jackwill: ok good :)
jackok, see everyone in 2 weeks :)
bearwaves
jackhas left
Willbye bye
Nÿcobye
Nÿcothx to all
Willbear: do i have permission to leave now? ;-)
bearbangs the gavel
bearok, meeting over
Willthanks
bear:)
bearwho normally sends out meeting summary?
Nÿcothe one who asks...
beardoh!
Nÿco:-p
Nÿcowelcome to the board bear! ;-)
bearok, i'll work up a brief summary and post it to the members list
Willrofl
bearthanks!
Willhas left
Nÿcomaybe no need for a summary, http://typewith.me/y1i9CHJHLH may be enough
Nÿcowith the log
bearthat should go to the wiki IMO with a link to the log
bearbut yes, my summary was going to be a shortened version of the typewith.me doc
Nÿcowhy not... you want to archive everything? if we send to lists, it is archived, no?
bearyes
Nÿcommm... yes to what?
bearin the absence of past experience i was just going with what i've done - but sure, I will do that
bearyes to your question
Nÿcowhich one?
beardo you have a link to the log
Nÿcoah let me check
bearyes I feel everything shoud b archived - which would be handled by a log link
bearand the mailing list would serve as notice
KevFor what it's worth, I think sending semi-formal minutes is worthwhile. I think a copy of the typewith.me document very nearly covers that, if not completely.
