XSF Discussion - 2011-09-28

board meeting notes: http://typewith.me/WFqmxbixTw

don't we have something.dot/xsf ?

yeah http://typewith.me/xsf

easier to remember :)

oh? do we?

*love* it!

:)

yhello

heh

is "yhello" pronounced differently?

hmm ... just trying to find a soundbite ...

Homer Simpson -> Picking up the phone

:)

ah, I've never heard that

but I've heard people pronounce the word differently

let's see, Will sent his regrets, right?

yes

BTW I'm recruiting people to stand for election at http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Board_and_Council_Elections_2011

cool

great

will add my name soon :)

cool

we need one more for quorum ?

yes

jack / nyco?

I just pinged Jack

hello all

I don't seem to have Nÿco in the roster for this account

hi Jack!

Nyco is offline for me also

ok

hi jack :)

right, should we get started?

yep

yep

notes are here: http://typewith.me/xsf

two items for the agenda: fosdem and verify

anything to add?

I don't think so

nope

k, fosdem - so we got the notice to reserve a room

right

we should reserve early so we can make sure to get a nice sized room

in the Council meeting earlier, Ralph said he would take care of that

cool

ok, cool

and table ?

we also need a booth this year :D

bear: I think you reserve a room and you are assigned whatever the FOSDEM people assign to you, but I'm not 100% sure

Florian: right

the notice about reserving a stand has not been issued yet

k

I'll forward it to the members@ list when it comes out

we should respond "yes" then when the booth notice comes

(I'm starting to use the members@ list instead of the various team lists...)

yea, that just feels "right"

:)

keeps all of the comm centralized

yes

is it too early to start agitating for tshirt ideas?

No.

:)

heh

do we have someone who normally takes point on that?

shall we agitate for burning those gray shirts so Florian doesn't need to find storage space for them?

+1

you might be able to convince daniel to do an updated design for a different color shirt

since people seemed to like the design but not the shirt color

true

can you email him that question?

will do right now

thanks

let's go for a black t-shirt

thanks, Jack

or some cool colour

NOT grey

um yeah

and should we add the year?

i'm not sure you could call that color gray :)

lol

heh

adding the year makes sense IMO

but then we can't sell the remainders

true

yea, true

unless we do a second event in the US this year

we probably should wait for that to *happen* before planning on selling shirts ;)

unless we do a second event in the US next year

where by "this year" you mean next year :)

:)

right

ok, so that's FOSDEM?

I think so

yep

XSF Verify next?

+2

+1

yes, which is somewhat related to FOSDEM if we're going to have a real hackfest/testfest

true - we won't know that until later - when we have a test suite to hack on

http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Verify has some more details

I would not want to show up with nothing and say "ok, let's build it" - that's a recipe for grump

bear: for sure!

I love the details you added to the verify wiki page

:)

I think the second phase is great for FOSDEM

always a lot of discussions about SASL etc.

is there something we need to cover today - other than start beating-the-bushes for folks to help?

i think if you have some basic docs and a few tests written before fosdem, people will jump in and go from there

i've got some basic code in python, starting to work on the "oh hey, I can connect to the server" type tests

bear: shall we set up a source code repository?

that was one of my questions for today

would be a cool thing to have

right, source control FTW

we have git on athena (for XEPs etc.)

xsf has a git repo?

I might even remember how to set up a new repository :)

:)

if not, we ask Kev for help

would it be easier to use github?

Hmm?

Oh, Gitosis. I can set that up.

right

bear: we mirror to github

cool

but IMHO it's better to have the primary repo on xmpp.org machines (with backups, naturally)

just checking - wasn't sure if the iteam was people/resource constrained

sure

stpeter: We mirror to gitorious, I think.

the iteam is the one team that actually does stuff

Kev: ah, right

six of one...

r

anything further for verify?

nope, don't think so

nope -- git repo + beating the bushes + getting to work

k

I'm busy right now, so will forget.

shall we bang the gavel and call this meeting done?

Can someone please drop me a mail about setting up repos.

What repos, who should have access, and I'll get it done.

thanks, Kev

awesome, thx Kev

bear, can you ping Kev about that?

verify repo, me, stpeter, florian for initial access?

yes

sounds good

hopefully we'll be adding more folks to the access list before long :)

yes

thanks, guys

yep, thanks all

next meeting?

I'll be offline next week

but you guys are free to meet :)

next week i'll be in portland

the minutes look fine to me now

ok

so we probably should just plan on it being a wash

so perhaps two weeks from today

+1

wfM

thanks

thanks, bear

thanks for the wordsmithing

we can discuss Verify further in the interp@ rom

room

minutes email and kev poke email sent

ah - I need to join that room

I hadn't set that to autojoin, oops.

bear: I don't believe you're in the XSF's Git repo yet. Please send me a public key.
