stpeter, I mailed you the XML file for the microblogging XEP (I updated everything needed in the XEP headers), hope it is okay ;)
stpeter
hi Vanaryon, yes I saw that
Vanaryon
okay
Vanaryon
We are discussing - in our project - about a strong need for microblogging: a @user feature (mainly for notifications, and notices tracking), we might be submitting some other XEP-0277 updates in the future ;)
stpeter
ok good

Board meeting?
stpeter
I thought so :)
Kev
So says my calendar.
stpeter
mine too
will.sheward
It's not in the calendar but I think we said we'd have one today
Kev
I see it in the calendar.
stpeter
as do I
stpeter
anyway
stpeterpings bear
will.sheward
So, I can't read a calendar, no surprise :-)
Kev
Bear was there a few minutes ago when I pinged him about GSoC things.
stpeter
heh
stpeter
maybe he stepped away
bear
sorry - traffic - back-hoe operator decided to drive his rig into the hole he was filling instead of putting dirt into it
stpeter
heh
bear
the only item I know of is gsoc followup and one other thing (/me digs thru notes)
stpeter
we also have http://tracker.xmpp.org/browse/TRADEMARKS-1 and http://tracker.xmpp.org/browse/TRADEMARKS-2
bear
that's it
will.sheward
I should mention that my trying to do the sponsors stuff on the site caused Athena to explode.
so the trademark and gsoc are what I can see as needing discussion
stpeter
we'll plan for that :P
stpeter
I have only 2 trademark applications right now
stpeter
I was expecting a third but it hasn't come in yet
bear
starts editing http://typewith.me/SVrlCVhbyQ
stpeter
I invited Jack
Neustradamus
will.sheward: have you think at me ? :D
stpeter
I don't see NĂ¿co online
stpeter
Florian appears to be here but no activity from him in the room :)
Florian
hiya :)
bear
:)
will.sheward
Insert obvious student joke here
stpeter
heehee
stpeterreads http://typewith.me/SVrlCVhbyQ instead of this room
bear
i'm typing ahead in the document while waiting :)
stpeter
heh, yes
Florian
heeh
Florian
*hehe
bear
shall we start?
stpeter
sure
stpeter
I pinged Jack
bear
ok, gsoc update
bear
- we have 7 slots but only good activity on 4 of them - the other 3 we have a deadline of tonight for mentor/student response or we will toss them back to the pool
- duplication process starts today and ends in IRC discussion Friday
bear
kev may have more info but that's it in a nutshell
will.sheward
That seems clear enough
Kev
WFM.
bear
so far we have no duplicates - so friday will be easy(ish)
Florian
right
bear
k, trademarks
Kev
(There are, I think, more than 4 good proposals, but several are for Swift, and we only have mentoring capacity for two)
stpeter
ah, now I remember the third trademark licensing application -- I'll add that one soon
will.sheward
Only 2 in total or 2 suitable as swift mentors?
Kev
will.sheward: Remko and I can each mentor one student. So even if the XSF has several good Swift proposals (and it has), we have to only accept two.
Kev
Other projects seem to have fewer good proposals than mentoring capacity.
will.sheward
Ok
bearadds the note that website update was scuttled because of hardware issues
will.sheward
That's my excuse, yes
bear
consider myself the bad habit enabler ;)
Kev
I have AOB about that, btw.
bear
do you want to bring that up now?
bear
k, anything else about gsoc?
Kev
Can do - just that athena is, to quote Edwin, 'a ticking timebomb'. Iteam is coming up with a rough plan to start mirroring the website so Bad Things can't happen again, probably to the machine Florian is currently donating over in Flosoft. We are also likely to ask Board to find some money, or some sponsor to replace the hardware (athena) in the bunker.
bear
hahaha
Florian
right
Kev
Just as a heads-up.
Kev
This way we'd have one machine in the usual place, and one machine over in Europe for hosting the website.
will.sheward
Ticking is ok, it's when it stops we have a problem
bearnods
Kev
will.sheward: Like Friday, you mean?
stpeter
having things in different places seems sensible
Florian
right
Kev
stpeter: Picasso agrees :)
bear
do we know what the load is for current athena so we can get a suitable device at flosoft?
stpeter
it's not clear to me if we need a dedicated machine for websites or whether that could be hosted virtually
Kev
Or would agree, rather.
Kev
bear: The point being we don't want to replace athena with a machine at Flosoft. We want new hardware.
Kev
Then we'd mirror to the box we already have at Flosoft :)
bear
I was just talking about what parameters would be required for cpu and disk
Kev
Athena is ooooold, I imagine any modern system would cope with the base website.
bear
i.e. is it a monster box that has tons of page hits or can we do with a virtual machine?
Kev
The addons like the Atlassian stuff is another matter.
Florian
looking at the machine .. any Core CPU ... with redundant HDDs
bear
k, then we could have a master with replicated mysql on the public facing frontend
bear
but it sounds like iteam has that in hand
Kev
Not really - we're just starting discussing stuff. It was a heads-up largely so no-one gets surprised if we ask for a new server in a while.
bear
k
Kev
(Or in case we ask in a while and someone says "Oh, I was chatting to HP the other day, if only I knew!")
will.sheward
If we find a machine somewhere, we will let you know
bear
can we get iteam to give a report by next board meeting (or a future one)
stpeter
ok I posted the trademark applications to the Board list
stpeter
I'll see what I can do about sourcing a machine
stpeter
I do have some contacts at HP
bear
cool
stpeter
and someone at Dell just asked for a password reset at jabber.org :)
Kev
Haha.
will.sheward
There will no be short break from me while I fail to find a seat on my train
bear
that's one heck of a processing fee ;)
stpeter
bear: :)
Florian
lol
stpeter
BTW I did IM with Jack and he is on a phone call that he can't pull away from
bear
I'll email iteam asking if they could summarize what the issue is and what the plan will be
stpeter
bear: good
Kev
bear: Right, we'll get that done eventually :)
bear
understood :)
stpeter
http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/xsf/jabber-trademark/pending-applications/ updated too
bear
thanks
bear
ok, at 30 minutes past - anything else need chewing on?
Florian
not from my end
will.sheward
Not here
stpeter
next meeting>
stpeter
?
Florian
2 weeks from now?
Florian
Trademark stuff on the list?
bear
if we follow the original original schedule - it's next week - but i'm good for 2 weeks
bear
gsoc, trademark and athena followup?
stpeter
next week I can join from the airport, two weeks from now I'll be on a plane
Florian
ah
will.sheward
That's a heck of a boarding queue
stpeter
