XSF Discussion - 2014-03-18

oh, Google Talk / Hangouts are seriously broken.

I got a subscription request on my Mailgun's Google Apps domain account from a user at the same domain. The JID the request is from looks like user-at-mailgun.com--[hash]@public.talk.google.com.

yay for google talk!

(for those who don't understand what's going on, it should of course been from user@mailgun.com)

Maybe Google isn't interpreting it as a GAfYD account, but a Google-accout-with-your-own-email.

xnyhps: yeah, but that's superweird, because *my* account is at the same domain

ralphm: adobe has nice people who care about standards. (and has utterly failed to fight webrtc despite having a better horse but...)

what about adobe and competent people?

fippo, what was their better horse?

tobias: rtmfp

but they decided to keep it closed and even the RFC is pretty useless unless you happen to know the secret key

fippo, I feel Adobe could have done better if I didn't constantly misread their protocol as RTFMP.

dwd: excellent

Oh. We've got a dnssec grant, and *now* we need to create proposals about what to do with it? Life is confusing for poor little Kevins.

:)

How did we get the second grant?

I thought the plan was that there'd be proposals, and then we'd ask for one.

is there a testing account for gtalk that anyone knows of? I'm thinking the anwer is no, but wanted to double check

guru@googlelabs.com something?

^ that ^

Kev: we have not received a grant for work on DNSSEC - the previous gift was simply support for all the good work we're doing in general

I knew the first gift wasn't for dnssec.

ok

There was then discussion about applying for a grant for dnssec work

Then Simon posted yesterday that we'd got a grant for dnssec work, so ...

right

oh

You can see how I'd get confused.

no we haven't gotten a grant

perhaps I miscommunicated with Simon during our video chat yesterday

OK. Someone slap the Board around until they know what's going on please :)

your understanding is correct

now we can if desired create a proposal for a more focused grant to work on XMPP and DNSSEC

Right.

There was some discussion that we might want to do this.

there was

But that we'd need to work out what such a proposal would look like.

indeed

I do keep up with Board meetings sometimes ;)

and I appreciate that

Apologies about the text kev - I should have made it more clear that it's a potential grant. Peter did make that clear to me in the call.

A grant in potentia.

:)
