stpeter
I must have missed the messages about today's meeting :(
-
stpeter
but I admit that I am behind on email
-
Nÿco
no specific email, we just meet every two weeks, and note that down at each meeting
-
bear
haven't really been any messages - the schedule was decided a couple months ago
-
stpeter
ah
-
stpeter
so I need to update the calendar, then
-
bear
I have given up on the xsf calendar showing the meetings - they seem to appear and disappear on a regular basis
-
bear
so added it to my personal one
-
stpeter
that helps, too
-
stpeter
we need a calendar-meister :)
-
stpeter
or a bot
-
bear
I speak ical/vcal and caldav - so could do that if shown where the files live
-
stpeter
calendar updated through end of March
-
bear
cool
-
will.sheward
i have missed a notice?
-
stpeter
I invited Florian too
-
Florian
hi
-
stpeter
I need to depart in ~25 minutes for an appointment
-
will.sheward
do we have an agenda?
-
bear
yes
-
bear
ok, seems everyone is here except Jack
-
bear
let's start and make it a fast one then
-
Florian
ok :)
-
stpeter
we need to post a trip report about the Summit
-
jack
hi all
-
stpeter
BTW I have updated the calendar through end of Q1
-
bear
was someone identified at the summit to do a summary email?
-
stpeter
bear: I can do that, but not until tomorrow afternoon
-
stpeter
I have some text ready for it, but pictures would be helpful
-
Florian
I'll look though the pictures I have
-
bear
you don't have to do it - if you want you can send info to the list and I can write up a post
-
will.sheward
i have picture from the first 4/5 talks i think
-
Florian
I've got a few from the devroom and dinner
-
Florian
and some at Cisco
-
stpeter
cool
-
bear
notes are here: http://typewith.me/nUc9JI5pv2
-
stpeter
right
-
will.sheward
cool, we should do seperate posts on fosdem and summit?
- bear thanks Nyco
-
stpeter
the more posts the merrier
-
Florian
yup :)
-
stpeter
as I said, I have content for the Summit / XMPP WG post, just need to paste it into a post
-
stpeter
but won't have time probably until tomorrow afternoon
-
stpeter
IESG commitments between now and then
-
stpeter
any volunteers for FOSDEM post?
-
will.sheward
i'll do that if you like
-
stpeter
we can take that to the commteam anyway
-
bear
we could get a couple small "here are some photos" posts now and have the more lengthy one when you are ready
-
stpeter
will.sheward: that would be beautiful
-
will.sheward
i'll write up something for fosdem and share with the commteam for edits
-
stpeter
I commit to making the Summit / XMPP WG post by end of day Friday
-
will.sheward
me - probably the weekend
-
Florian
great :)
-
stpeter
ok
-
bear
k, details can be hashed out on list
-
stpeter
GSOC?
-
stpeter
right
-
stpeter
we had some discussion in the Council meeting just now
-
bear
next item GSoC
-
Tobias
yay..GSoC :)
-
stpeter
do we see any reason not to participate?
-
stpeter
we'll need volunteers to admin, mentor, etc.
-
stpeter
I think we could have more projects participating this time
-
Kev
I'm here for my usual roles.
-
stpeter
I think we should require an interop report from each student so that we can improve the specs if needed
-
Tobias
good idea
-
Kev
stpeter: Well, a general 'end report', I think.
-
Kev
There are other things that're useful than interop, as well.
-
stpeter
Kev: last time we wanted feedback on specs, but it was hard to get -- just a few messages posted in a chatroom
-
Kev
I saw another org post this in the GSoC channel earlier, and I think we should aim to come up with something similar to the prologue as a 'mission statement' we can agree on - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YpQjl8pDTztxlk1eRDgheHq-17vMEcNt3qUCypioW_g/edit?hl=en&pli=1#
-
stpeter
+1
-
Kev
stpeter: Yes, an exit report sounds good.
-
stpeter
sure
-
Kev
They have to fill one of these out for Google anyway, we can require our own.
- stpeter nods
-
stpeter
so is the Board on board?
-
Florian
yup :)
-
will.sheward
yes
-
bear
yes
-
stpeter
ok!
-
Kev
I'm more than happy to help with admin again, but I'd quite like Board to appoint someone responsible so I've got someone to bash over the head if stuff doesn't get done :)
-
stpeter
so we'll round up the usual suspects and start to organize on the gsoc@xmpp.org list
-
stpeter
heh
-
Kev
And this should happen very soon.
-
will.sheward
i can probably help out with admin
-
Kev
Applications are pretty soon now, and we should have pages up in advance of that.
-
Kev
Org applications, that is.
-
bear
I have offered to help as org admin again
-
Kev
will.sheward: I gather bear's up for admin as well.
-
will.sheward
Kev: cool, lets draw up a task list and split
-
will.sheward
it
-
Kev
I'd rather one of you was 'main' admin and I just act as fill-in, because I don't want to do everything or have responsibility :D
-
will.sheward
that'd be bear (as big boss) me as minion
-
bear
the gathering of project ideas is the hardest part at this phase
-
Kev
bear: Yes. I'm happy to help with that. Swift will probably propose some, and Simon's approached me about BuddyCloud ones under the XSF umbrella as well.
-
bear
ok, unless someone really doesn't like the idea of me as admin - let's go with that and I'll post to gsoc@xmpp.org to start organizing
-
bear
with will as co-admin
-
Kev
The YafaRay post about being concentrating on gathering new contributers, rather than specific throwaway tasks, rang true with me.
-
Kev
Did I just get demoted? Cool.
-
stpeter
OK I have another 10 minutes here
-
Florian
next topic then?
-
bear
kev - I think you are master-of-mentors
-
bear
stpeter - do we have a list of sponsors who have paid?
-
stpeter
we have a list of dinner sponsors (need to mention them in the Summit post)
-
stpeter
we also have a short list of org sponsors
-
will.sheward
which will replace the existing list v.soon
-
stpeter
but at this point it's only Voxeo (we need a page about them!) and USSHC
-
stpeter
I have promised to work on a proposal to ISOC (Internet Society)
-
bear
I've seen email about one new sponsor but we are still waiting for someone to create a page item for them? do we know who brought Voxeo on board?
-
stpeter
so I will run that by the Board when I have a draft
-
Florian
I'll get i touch about the page with them
-
will.sheward
I'll sort the voxeo page when florian has the basic info
-
stpeter
ok
-
will.sheward
also, Florian, I need a reciept/invoice thing for the dinner sponsorship
-
bear
Can you two also draft a post thanking the dinner sponsors with the list from stpeter about who gave?
-
stpeter
yes, Florian and I can work on that
-
will.sheward
phew - was about to volunteer
-
stpeter
heh
-
stpeter
I need to make thank-you notes (receipts) for all of them, anyway
-
bear
do you want to report on finances for next meeting or will you need more time (stpeter)
-
stpeter
tomorrow afternoon or Friday for that :)
-
stpeter
as I said, the basic finance report is that we have a little less than $9000 in the bank, but I need more time to provide details
-
stpeter
we actually made money on the summit ;-)
-
will.sheward
refund!
-
stpeter
haha
-
Florian
lol
-
bear
cool - then I don't have to budget for this year's oscon summit with the wife :)
-
stpeter
we also have $2k on the way from GSoC 2010 IIRC
-
Florian
:)
-
Florian
should we move on to Summit #11?
-
bear
summit #11
-
stpeter
and as mentioned we're going to seek out more sponsors this year
-
stpeter
yes
-
stpeter
oh, another topic (for next meeting) is the XMPP validator idea, but see members@ list for discussion
-
bear
I am going to be going this year for the full oscon so I can help organize summit 11
-
stpeter
do we want to hold a north american summit (#11) this year? last year didn't go so well, but we can and should put more effort in this year, I think
-
stpeter
bear: cool
-
Florian
I'd love to organize it as it looks like I'll be attending :)
-
bear
:) - last year's was done very last minute
-
stpeter
I won't be there the whole time because I will travel to Quebec City the following week for the IETF meeting
-
stpeter
nod
-
stpeter
so if we're committed, we can post about it next week (after the FOSDEM / Summit posts) and I will contact my friends at O'Reilly about a room
-
Florian
cool
-
bear
yes, we can talk more details next meeting
-
stpeter
ok
-
stpeter
excellent
-
stpeter
any other busines?
-
Florian
not from my end
-
bear
do you have anything before you have to leave?
-
stpeter
I don't have anything further here
-
will.sheward
me neither
- bear takes the lack of new items as a sign to bang the gavel
-
stpeter
ok great
-
stpeter
we have a meeting 2 weeks from now
-
stpeter
it should be in the calendar
-
Florian
great
-
stpeter
let's send a reminder to the members@ list the day before, too
-
stpeter
if we remember :)
-
bear
if that is needed then I will do that as part of the pre-meeting prep work I do
-
stpeter
not absolutely necessary
-
stpeter
but it's good to keep the membership in the loop
-
stpeter
anyway, gotta run
-
stpeter
bbiab
-
will.sheward
bye
-
Florian
bye
