pep.https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/522 I just pushed this. How should we update the parts for FOSDEM and Summit?
dwdSpeaking of the Summit, I've been hunting down evidence for the various claims I was making at FOSDEM of how XMPP is used. Amazingly, I wasn't actually lying.
pep.I'd be great to put more of these somewhere on the website as well, and possibly ask these projects to add an XMPP logo or something, somewhere, so that people know

GuusI quite like the effort to improve that page. I'd also like a more formal reach-out from XMPP to those companies. I'll add that to Boards agenda.
Ge0rGGuus: what would be the goal? To appoint somebody to reach out?
GuusThe goal would be to come up with a communication strategy - define exactly what we 'want' from them, and what we can offer in return.
Seve+1
SeveThank you Guus
KevFWIW I'm already in touch with the Eve devs doing XMPP stuff, so I wouldn't bother duplicating that.
GuusThanks Kev. I'd first like to see if we can come up with some kind of strategy that defines what exactly we want to ask/tell them, before doing actual reaching-out.
dwdIt'd be nice to have the usual list of companies and projects using XMPP along with some testemonial quotes on the front page.
Ge0rGit would also be awesome to obtain better user numbers and maybe also articles about their use of XMPP.

GuusI think in reality, the sponsorship benefits are more of a donation that someone actually expecting much exposure in return, tbh.
KevI think there's motivation and expectation.
KevPeople may be motivated to do it because it's a donation, but I think they still expect recognition for it.
Ge0rGIt would be really great if the companies that have millions of XMPP users would become sponsors.

ralphmYeah, I'm thinking of what the wording should change into.
ralphmProbably something like the requestor to be considered author for the purposes of moving it to draft, and explicitly mentioning that Council or the Editor could assign 'real' authorship to said person at their request.
architekthas joined
architekthas left
Guuswhat is "real" authorship?
Guusalso, does the individual requesting the LC _replace_ the original author, or is that person added to the list?
ralphmReal authorship means having your name on the document.
SeveIs the author contacted first? To allow/encourage future progress directly from the original
ralphmSeve: have you read the changes?
SeveI guess that answers my question, unfortunately I haven't yet :)
GuusAs I read it, the 'you get to be author automatically' is explicitly scoped to XEPs abandoned by their original author(s).
GuusI don't have an issue with that.
ralphmYes, but Council discussion revealed that they think this is not desirable. Unfortunately, the rest of the described process requires an XEP Author, e.g. to process LC feedback, so they suggest appointing the requestor to take on that role *for the purpose of moving the document*.
jmpmanhas joined
ralphm(and not actually be an author otherwise, unless Council or Editor decides otherwise)
Alexhas left
GuusI don't think I agree. If a XEP moves towards Final, it is desirable to have a permanent author. The person issuing the last call is a logical default choice. That can be changed in those cases where it's undesirable.
Guusopt-out, rather than opt-in, kind-of.
ralphmPeter suggested a care-taker role. I think that's nice.
ralphmBut if you haven't authored a spec, you shouldn't be named as author.
ralphmI think that's a fair point as made by Council.
Guusit's not an unfair point. I'd personally not require such a change, nor oppose it.

Guusas far as I see, there are no points left under discussion. Did I miss anything?
Ge0rGThere was also talk about whitelisting all members to send to board?
Guusunsure about that. Let's not drag that into the issue of your trademark request though.
Ge0rGGuus: yes, that's completely separate. I think Kev said something about this being an easy change, with his iteam hat on
Ge0rGIt would also make delivery of board meeting minutes easier, assumed that those are written by a member. Or maybe we could whitelist standards@ subscribers as well.
GuusI'm guessing that more bookkeeping is required? or, are we keeping a record of active XSF members in config somewhere already?
Ge0rG(you can't send out minutes if you aren't subscribed to either)

KevGuus: We're already in a situation where we can add new Authors to a document as-needed. So I think simply removing that bit of text from the PR leaves what we already have in place and Council can do sensible things.
KevWhile fulfilling the core aim of the PR, which is to make sure that Deferred stuff can get advanced.
KevI think the automatic stuff is actively harmful, because we do have people from time to time in the community with a high noise to signal ratio, and having them automatically responsible for XEPs because they make noise would be heavily undesirable.
dwdFWIW, I don't particularly mind whoever requests the Last Call being then held responsible for progressing to draft by default. I don't think enforcing this as a XEP Author change is quite right though.
KevSame.
KevWell, no not quite same.
Danielhas left
Danielhas joined
KevI don't think it's right in the case that the original author is active that someone else gets to shepherd it through.
KevAlthough maybe that's not an issue.
Guusthe suggested change scopes the addition of the author to XEPs that are abandoned by the original author(s).
dwdWell, I imagine that can be taken care of either with the "by default", or indeed by COuncil rejecting the Last Call if an active author thinks it's not yet ready.
ralphmdwd: I didn't touch that part, though. Are you suggesting we remove the current text about the Author needing to process LC comments?
Guusalso, it doesn't explicitly say 'replace' author - I'm assuming that it's an 'add'.
Guushas left
ralphmGe0rG: for what it is worth, from what I understand from Kev and Peter, board@xmpp.org is not dropping messages from non-subscribers. They get to a moderation queue, which wasn't processed properly. Peter is now actively monitoring that again.
dwdPersonally, I'd be happy with "must be prepared to act as Author for the purposes and duration of the advancement to Draft" or some such wording.
ralphmdwd: that was what I was going for indeed.
Ge0rGdwd: I like that text
GuusI don't have an issue with the person trying to revive a XEP to be added to the XEP as an additional author, not even for high signal-to-noise persons.
Ge0rGralphm: Ah, that might work as well. It makes me wonder, however, what is the current formal agreement underlying that - last time there was a discussion about Peter not being the ED any more.
Guusdwd's wording is fine with me too.
Ge0rGGuus: I think there is some small potential for abuse, and it doesn't feel right to me to auto-make anybody an author
ralphmPeter is still an Officer of the XSF and I'm happy with him doing this.
Ge0rGralphm: great!
Guusit's not auto-make, as the Council gets to decide on the move to Last Call (and thus author)
ralphm(he is Treasurer)
Ge0rGGuus: do you imply that there should be two separate votes - first on the LC and then on the extension of authorship?
Guusno. As everyone, including me, is happy with a change in wording to the extend to what Dave just suggested, this is quickly starting to turn into bikeshedding htough
ralphmGe0rG: the idea is that we change the wording such that only the first is needed. Extension of authorship should be a separate thing, and my original wording was supposed to reflect this, but didn't.
Ge0rGLet's move forward with Dave's wording then

Guus(I obviously should've gone with "pretty red")
Severalphm, Guus, where can I find what defines a XEP as abandoned or better, how a XEP gets into the state of abandoned?
GuusI don't think that there's a definition for that.
ralphmSeve: it is not defined. In general abandonment is an indeterminable thing.
ralphmSo I'd say this is up to the Editor or Council to concider.
SeveHmm, I see.
KevGuus: Your assertion that, under the current text, the approving body can reject the LC, thereby preventing the authorship isn't consistent with the PR, which says that it's the requesting that makes them author, not the LC.
ralphmI.e. say you think a XEP is abandoned, you make an effort to contact the author. If he doesn't respond, you propose advancement and then Editor or Council can make a judgement call.
ralphmKev: to be fair, the changed text doesn't say it makes them author, but I will clarify as discussed.
GuusKev that'd be wrong in so many ways that I think it's implicit that authorship is granted only after Approving Body approval. But: pretty red pretty pretty bikeshed!
Ge0rGI actually like the ambiguity of requiring the Proposer to be prepared, but no explicit requirement on making them the author.

dwdralphm, Good catch. Not considered that myself.
lhas joined
KevOr, and it's just a crazy thought, leave Authorship out of it and just note that the approving body will need to ensure there's an active author if they approve the proposal.
Kev;)
KevThat way we're pretty confident we're not breaking anything, nor preventing sensible things being done.
ralphmKev: that doesn't help
dwdI get what you mean, but I like the notion that anyone proposing needs to be aware they might be seen as volunteering.
ralphmas you need someone during last call, and while Council is concidering the move, to collect and process feedback
Ge0rGI don't like it when anybody can propose, and then Council needs to run searching for volunteers.
KevYes, that's what I said.
ralphmno
KevIf Council (or whoever) approve the proposal to LC it, they need to ensure there's an active Author to see it through.
Ge0rGKev: the Council doesn't have any means to do so.
KevSure they do.
ralphmIt does, though. It could say it isn't ready for last call without an author
Ge0rGSo we reject the LC and make another round until the Proposer either volunteers or disappears?
KevOr find an active person who's willing to Author.
ralphmThe problem I have with that, though, is that a document might not actually require significant changes to progress, and ensuring an active author would mean that whoever is that new author, would have to be named on the document.
ralphm(even though they didn't, well, author the document)
ralphmThe only other thing (besides somebody acting as author) is having this role fall to the Editor.
KevMaybe it makes sense to define a Document Shepherd, then?
ralphmThey can already modify documents with final say with Council.
KevAnd say that AB needs to ensure that there is an active Author or DS if it issues the LC.
ralphmSo basically: Romeo proposes XEP-xxxx, Council asks: sure, will you shepherd?, Romeo: eh, well, ok!
Ge0rGCan't we just go on with dwd's
> "must be prepared to act as Author for the purposes and duration of the advancement to Draft"
KevGe0rG: The issue there was then needing to start excluding things that an Author can currently do.
ralphmI'm now instead whitelisting.
olihas joined
KevThe idea of defining DS is to have the same sentiment, without the confusion of a pseudo-partial-Author.
ralphmCurrent text in my editor: “Such an individual must be prepared to act as XEP author for the purposes of collecting and processing feedback, during the proposal and approval processes, as described below.”
ralphmIf you want to name “such an individual” "Document Shephard”, that's ok, I guess.
Danielhas left
SeveIt is the first time I hear about "Document Shephard" though :)
KevKinda the point. If we're inventing a new role, it might be less confusing to use a new name, rather than overloading an existing term :)
ralphmSeve: because you didn't read the Council discussion on this, and also not my mention of it earlier here.
