XSF Discussion - 2011-03-30

Will we have enough folk for a board meeting today with the IETF activity?

bear: sorry, missed that mesage. I'm not sure. I'll be on a train so I'll probably be drifting in and out with signal strength :-)

I was asking if we will even have a quorum with the IETF meetings happening

bear: I'm not sure that IETF meetings should affect quorum, should they?

I don't think any of Board are attending (although Peter is)

well, there's been nothing on the Board mailing list about problems

then cool :)

I think it will be a short meeting anyways - only agenda item I have is GSoC

Yay, GSoC!

\o/

i am in a plenary session and might not be able to pay attention

in fact I will need to go up on stage soon, so I'll probably need to log off

Take the laptop up with you :)

Set the record for simultaneous open standard organization participation

heehee

I'll review some OASIS or W3C document while I'm at it

is the meeting now or in an hour?

i thought it was now

timezone shifts for EU are making me wonder

It's currently 1600UTC, if that helps. 1700UK time.

I just know that the calendar says 0500 GMT - which for me is 1300

but seeing the number of folk in the channel...

0500 GMT?

That sounds early.

sorry - 0500 UTC or GMT+0

doh!

damn american am/pm time displays

1700 GMT

It's not 1700GMT for another hour.

It's 1700 UK time at the moment.

(Which is currently GMT+1)

hehe - I know - I was asking if 1700GMT was accurate seeing how many people think it's now

I thought it was at 6?

ok, so it does sound like it's in 50 minutes and only the yank is confused ;)

Hehe

I should be attending from London Waterloo station, before heading underground to talk to the CAA

Can someone possibly invite me to he MUC ... As e N900 still has no join MUC button

which jid?

Admin .. The hopefully only online one :)

ATM on the iJoke

But the phone is more portable when running through the city

And OneTeam has some weird issues with MUC and their proxy

Hmm?

what florian was asking about

?

Oh, you want me to fire up Psi? :p

this room is public already?

Or why do you need the admin forms?

because i'm a clueless muc person who can never remember how to do this shit

as evidenced by my thinking I needed the admin tool

Invites? Haha.. Right click, invite to... Xmpp@muc

But yeah, later

ATM still on the iPad

ohhhh

hmm, have to step outside to talk with house contractor - be back in a bit

Why do they call the guys who make houses bigger "contractors"?

Lol

Because people who don't sign a contract about home improvement will often just make a lot of holes

In the walls

Or is that just me?

.... That joke sounded better in my head

It was a joke?

It was meant to be

Good to know :)

:p

My DIY skills aren't that bad... I even fitted a new exhaust to my Vespa without a manual

As of now, it's still attached

Mmm, very poor connection atm, too many tunnels :-)

Either the meetings been cancelled, I'm in the wring room or this client isn't working.

I'm seeing a lack of action

ah

i suppose we should have had it an hour ago when everyone was here

Well I'm heading for a few connection blackspots, so you won't get much here for a bit

We are masters of timing

Ok, my train is pulling into the station, be back in 10mins when I get home

Meeting?

I guess we'll do it next week.

I'm off to lunch

It does look like quorum to me.

Hi

Did I miss everything?

bah - "quick" meeting turned into a contractor dispute (oh, you wanted *that* done) - bah

sorry to blow the meeting

i think the meeting was already blown :-)

then I don't feel so bad - just partially bad

Anyone know offhand where we keep the XMPP logo these days?

Wonderful as Wordpress is, it doesn't seem to be helping tell me.

I guess I can trawl the site for pngs or something

I have no idea - would love to have a wiki page of graphic/media resources

I've created one of the appropriate size for gsoc, and uploaded it, and updated the org profile.

thanks

So once the org randomisation is done, we'll be able to appear on the front page, sometimes.

nice

Kev: in the git repo?

No, I just threw it into images/xmpp-small.png

okay

they got a new page i see

Kev: their time pie chart on the front page let's it appear that this year there's a longer coding period?

Goodness knows.

nah..their pie chart is just misleading :D

There's a lot of complaining about the new design. I'm trying to mostly stay out of it and just get stuff done.

it's still melange behind it right?

It is.

23:42:48] dwd: RFC 6120, 6121, and 6122 all just published. [23:42:56] dwd: Might be of interest to us. :-)

bear, If you're about, might be worth a blog post.

just saw your poke - working on it now

are there any links I can point to for them?

ah - see links to the mailing list in the archives

dwd - I want to include a paragraph about what this means for the XSF - do you have some words handy, my mind is drawing a blank
