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

Florian

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 :)
jackhas joined
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?
bearthanks 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.
stpeternods
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
luca tagliaferrihas left
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
Tobiashas left
beartakes 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
