XSF Discussion - 2014-03-18


  1. ralphm

    oh, Google Talk / Hangouts are seriously broken.

  2. ralphm

    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.

  3. Ge0rG

    yay for google talk!

  4. ralphm

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

  5. xnyhps

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

  6. ralphm

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

  7. fippo

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

  8. Ge0rG

    what about adobe and competent people?

  9. Tobias

    fippo, what was their better horse?

  10. fippo

    tobias: rtmfp

  11. fippo

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

  12. dwd

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

  13. stpeter

    dwd: excellent

  14. Kev

    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.

  15. Simon

    :)

  16. Kev

    How did we get the second grant?

  17. Kev

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

  18. bear

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

  19. fippo

    guru@googlelabs.com something?

  20. m&m

    ^ that ^

  21. stpeter

    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

  22. Kev

    I knew the first gift wasn't for dnssec.

  23. stpeter

    ok

  24. Kev

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

  25. Kev

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

  26. stpeter

    right

  27. stpeter

    oh

  28. Kev

    You can see how I'd get confused.

  29. stpeter

    no we haven't gotten a grant

  30. stpeter

    perhaps I miscommunicated with Simon during our video chat yesterday

  31. Kev

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

  32. stpeter

    your understanding is correct

  33. stpeter

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

  34. Kev

    Right.

  35. Kev

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

  36. stpeter

    there was

  37. Kev

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

  38. stpeter

    indeed

  39. Kev

    I do keep up with Board meetings sometimes ;)

  40. stpeter

    and I appreciate that

  41. Simon

    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.

  42. Kev

    A grant in potentia.

  43. stpeter

    :)
