  2. stpeter

    don't we have something.dot/xsf ?

  3. stpeter

    yeah http://typewith.me/xsf

  4. stpeter

    easier to remember :)

  5. bear

    oh? do we?

  6. bear

    *love* it!

  7. stpeter

    :)

  8. Florian

    yhello

  9. stpeter

    heh

  10. stpeter

    is "yhello" pronounced differently?

  11. Florian

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

  12. Florian

    Homer Simpson -> Picking up the phone

  13. Florian

    :)

  14. stpeter

    ah, I've never heard that

  15. stpeter

    but I've heard people pronounce the word differently

  16. stpeter

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

  17. bear

    yes

  18. stpeter

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

  19. bear

    cool

  20. Florian

    great

  21. Florian

    will add my name soon :)

  22. bear

    cool

  23. bear

    we need one more for quorum ?

  24. stpeter

    yes

  25. Florian

    jack / nyco?

  26. stpeter

    I just pinged Jack

  27. metajack@gmail.com

    hello all

  28. stpeter

    I don't seem to have NĂ¿co in the roster for this account

  29. stpeter

    hi Jack!

  30. bear

    Nyco is offline for me also

  31. stpeter

    ok

  32. Florian

    hi jack :)

  33. Florian

    right, should we get started?

  34. stpeter

    yep

  35. bear

    yep

  36. bear

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

  37. bear

    two items for the agenda: fosdem and verify

  38. bear

    anything to add?

  39. stpeter

    I don't think so

  40. Florian

    nope

  41. bear

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

  42. stpeter

    right

  43. bear

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

  44. stpeter

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

  45. bear

    cool

  46. Florian

    ok, cool

  47. bear

    and table ?

  48. Florian

    we also need a booth this year :D

  49. stpeter

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

  50. stpeter

    Florian: right

  51. stpeter

    the notice about reserving a stand has not been issued yet

  52. bear

    k

  53. stpeter

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

  54. bear

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

  55. stpeter

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

  56. bear

    yea, that just feels "right"

  57. Florian

    :)

  58. bear

    keeps all of the comm centralized

  59. stpeter

    yes

  60. bear

    is it too early to start agitating for tshirt ideas?

  61. Kev

    No.

  62. bear

    :)

  63. stpeter

    heh

  64. bear

    do we have someone who normally takes point on that?

  65. stpeter

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

  66. bear

    +1

  67. metajack@gmail.com

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

  68. metajack@gmail.com

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

  69. stpeter

    true

  70. bear

    can you email him that question?

  71. metajack@gmail.com

    will do right now

  72. bear

    thanks

  73. Florian

    let's go for a black t-shirt

  74. stpeter

    thanks, Jack

  75. Florian

    or some cool colour

  76. Florian

    NOT grey

  77. stpeter

    um yeah

  78. Florian

    and should we add the year?

  79. metajack@gmail.com

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

  80. Florian

    lol

  81. stpeter

    heh

  82. bear

    adding the year makes sense IMO

  83. stpeter

    but then we can't sell the remainders

  84. Florian

    true

  85. bear

    yea, true

  86. Florian

    unless we do a second event in the US this year

  87. bear

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

  88. Florian

    unless we do a second event in the US next year

  89. stpeter

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

  90. Florian

    :)

  91. Florian

    right

  92. stpeter

    ok, so that's FOSDEM?

  93. Florian

    I think so

  94. bear

    yep

  95. bear

    XSF Verify next?

  96. Florian

    +2

  97. Florian

    +1

  98. stpeter

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

  99. bear

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

  100. stpeter

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

  101. bear

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

  102. stpeter

    bear: for sure!

  103. bear

    I love the details you added to the verify wiki page

  104. Florian

    :)

  105. Florian

    I think the second phase is great for FOSDEM

  106. Florian

    always a lot of discussions about SASL etc.

  107. bear

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

  108. metajack@gmail.com

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

  109. bear

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

  110. stpeter

    bear: shall we set up a source code repository?

  111. bear

    that was one of my questions for today

  112. Florian

    would be a cool thing to have

  113. stpeter

    right, source control FTW

  114. stpeter

    we have git on athena (for XEPs etc.)

  115. bear

    xsf has a git repo?

  116. stpeter

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

  117. bear

    :)

  118. stpeter

    if not, we ask Kev for help

  119. bear

    would it be easier to use github?

  120. Kev

    Hmm?

  121. Kev

    Oh, Gitosis. I can set that up.

  122. stpeter

    right

  123. stpeter

    bear: we mirror to github

  124. bear

    cool

  125. stpeter

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

  126. bear

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

  127. stpeter

    sure

  128. Kev

    stpeter: We mirror to gitorious, I think.

  129. stpeter

    the iteam is the one team that actually does stuff

  130. stpeter

    Kev: ah, right

  131. stpeter

    six of one...

  132. Kev

    r

  133. bear

    anything further for verify?

  134. Florian

    nope, don't think so

  135. stpeter

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

  136. bear

    k

  137. Kev

    I'm busy right now, so will forget.

  138. bear

    shall we bang the gavel and call this meeting done?

  139. Kev

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

  140. Kev

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

  141. stpeter

    thanks, Kev

  142. Florian

    awesome, thx Kev

  143. stpeter

    bear, can you ping Kev about that?

  144. bear

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

  145. bear

    yes

  146. Florian

    sounds good

  147. stpeter

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

  148. bear

    yes

  149. stpeter

    thanks, guys

  150. bear

    yep, thanks all

  151. stpeter checks http://typewith.me/xsf

  152. stpeter

    next meeting?

  153. stpeter

    I'll be offline next week

  154. stpeter

    but you guys are free to meet :)

  155. bear

    next week i'll be in portland

  156. stpeter

    the minutes look fine to me now

  157. stpeter

    ok

  158. bear

    so we probably should just plan on it being a wash

  159. stpeter

    so perhaps two weeks from today

  160. bear

    +1

  161. stpeter

    wfM

  162. stpeter creates the calendar entry

  163. bear

    thanks

  164. bear goes to email minutes and update board page

  165. stpeter

    thanks, bear

  166. bear

    thanks for the wordsmithing

  167. stpeter

    we can discuss Verify further in the interp@ rom

  168. stpeter

    room

  169. bear

    minutes email and kev poke email sent

  170. bear

    ah - I need to join that room

  171. Kev

    I hadn't set that to autojoin, oops.

  172. Kev

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