    0. Welcome

  358. ralphm

    Who do we have?

  359. nyco

    _o/

  360. MattJ

    o/

  361. ralphm

    Guus, Seve?

  362. Guus

    ola

  363. ralphm

    Hi!

  364. ralphm

    1. Minute taker

  365. ralphm

    Would be good to have one again, since we have had no minutes for a few meetings now.

  366. LNJ has joined

  367. nyco

    I can't today, sorry...

  368. nyco

    I'd love to automate that minutes process like we could each one of us have two windows open: 1. this chat 2. a real-time collaborative text editor... then we would each and all be responsible

  369. ralphm

    Would be happy to try.

  370. nyco

    I've used that way of doing in many places: awesome for the agenda huge for misunderstanding reduction excellent for winning some time (no one has to review/rewrite/refaco notes afterwards)

  371. MattJ

    Sorry, I tend to have meetings back-to-back after this one at the moment

  372. ralphm

    Right

  373. Guus

    WE have the logs.

  374. ralphm

    Logs are insufficient, of course.

  375. nyco

    long and hard to read

  376. Guus

    no-one apparently finds minutes worth the trouble

  377. Guus

    so logs are what we have.

  378. nyco

    that's too much work with collab text editing, the load is balanced by the number of participants

  379. ralphm

    I don't think that's an acceptable stance towards our membership, to be honest.

  380. Chobbes has left

  381. Chobbes has joined

  382. nyco

    agree, we should deliver better than the logs

  383. Guus

    then memberhip should step up. We can stop doing these meetings if you feel strong about it.

  384. ralphm

    Ideally, we'd have an appointed scribe for all our meetings, but I'm ok with trying out nyco's suggestion for now.

  385. ralphm

    I'm moving on in the meanwhile.

  386. Seve

    Here, sorry

  387. nyco

    and I'd timebox meetings...

  388. nyco

    ok, let's try today?

  389. ralphm

    nyco: I try to keep them within 30 min.

  390. ralphm

    2. Badge Design

  391. nyco

    https://mensuel.framapad.org/p/2019-10-10-XSF-board-o5Yl05hJfT?lang=fr

  392. ralphm

    I've contacted Robert Martinez on this, hope he responds before next meeting.

  393. Guus

    Thanks

  394. ralphm

    3. Review of Roadmap Page

  395. ralphm

    I have looked at this really old page again.

  396. ralphm

    Oddly enough, some of the items are still a bit current.

  397. nyco

    please help me on: https://mensuel.framapad.org/p/2019-10-10-XSF-board-o5Yl05hJfT?lang=fr

  398. ralphm

    E.g. the part on Jabber Identifiers (PRECIS) came up again a few weeks ago

  399. ralphm

    From the few responses on the XMPPWG mailinglist over at IETF, it seems there's not really a solution for this yet.

  400. ralphm

    My own topics that I think could be on a roadmap page are:

  401. Chobbes has left

  402. Chobbes has joined

  403. ralphm

    1) Work on the things I recently blogged about regarding references, reactions, etc, and how that could be handled with MAM

  404. ralphm

    2) Calling in the new(ish) reality of multiple devices that aren't always connected, but still would want to receive calls.

  405. Guus

    Ralph, instead of defining a roadmap (that's an XSF roadmap, not a board roadmap), we might want to discuss topic candidates on the member list?

  406. ralphm

    3) e2ee. I think we need to make clear here what things are covered (plain body, full stanza) and which are not (e.g. meta data).

  407. Ge0rG

    ralphm: that sounds like a Council roadmap actually ;)

  408. ralphm

    Ge0rG: it does, maybe, I am listing what I think could be on it, I'm sure the Council has opinions, and I've also sent a message to Dave on this earlier today.

  409. Ge0rG

    ralphm: XEP-0423 comes with a "Future Development" section that's looking for content, deadline is next Wednesday for an LC request, November 5th for Draft

  410. Seve

    Are we discussing the content of the roadmap, or if we want to have a roadmap?

  411. ralphm

    Guus: I'm just following the agenda, the items above haven't really been handled for weeks, and I did some work on it

  412. ralphm

    Guus: I don't intend to make a full discussion on it today, just share what I have so far

  413. ralphm

    Seve: probably both

  414. Ge0rG

    ralphm: if you are motivated, please contribute in https://github.com/xsf/xeps/compare/master...ge0rg:cs2020?expand=1 / https://github.com/ge0rg/xeps/tree/cs2020

  415. Seve

    I see

  416. ralphm

    Ge0rG: thanks

  417. Ge0rG

    I think the XSF or Board roadmap should be different from the XMPP protocol roadmap, though

  418. Ge0rG

    XSF Roadmap should include marketing, org topics, sprint planning etc.

  419. zach has left

  420. zach has joined

  421. Guus

    I think it can include anything that we feel significantly benefits the XSF or XMPP.

  422. ralphm

    Right

  423. Guus

    if an important goal is to have a specific XEP published, I don't mind it being on that roadmap.

  424. Ge0rG

    also compliance badges.

  425. ralphm

    I'm not interested in individual specs per se, but more like: we should have a solution for things like references (e.g.)

  426. nyco

    and our emoji character

  427. ralphm

    and then see how we can achieve that

  428. pep.

    I agree with Ge0rG that xsf roadmap is different from protocol roadmap

  429. Ge0rG

    Guus: I'm not trying to protect my turf here, but I think that we get less done by mixing up the different bodies of the XSF

  430. david has left

  431. nyco

    yes, protocol != xsf

  432. ralphm

    pep.: well, so far it hasn't. We could change that, of course, but I'm not sure, really.

  433. nyco

    so everything related to SCAM, commTeam, iTeam included

  434. Guus

    Ge0rG putting something on a roadmap does not imply that other bodies are suddenly working on something.

  435. Ge0rG

    I agree that we should have a high-level protocol strategy defined by Board + Council, though

  436. Guus

    let's come to some kind of actionable conclusion here

  437. Ge0rG

    yes please

  438. nyco

    in relation with the IETF, and probably other standards bodies

  439. MattJ

    I definitely believe the Board should be able to set high-level goals that can guide Council

  440. ralphm

    We are still primarily a standards organisation, and of course those things mentioned by nyco need to be addressed, and could /also/ be on it.

  441. MattJ

    and that has happened in the past regularly

  442. ralphm

    Right

  443. dwd

    I'd note in passing that Council has zero power, as defined in our documents, so actuate any of these roadmap initiatives.

  444. ralphm

    Guus: well, the action I had was reviewing it, and I did

  445. Guus

    We've danced around 'priorities' and 'roadmap' often. I'm not against someone simply providing a PR with a suggested roadmap update, and for everyone to provide feedback on that.

  446. MattJ

    But e.g. the goal would be "End-to-end encryption", it's Council's reponsibility to decide whether that's OMEMO that gets put into the Compliance Suite

  447. ralphm

    dwd: indeed, so that's another reason it is also a Board topic

  448. MattJ

    +1

  449. nyco

    for how long have we not done "official" interop testing? that could help OMEMO implementations, btw

  450. ralphm

    I personally think it would be good to stimulate development in certain areas. Maybe with small scale topic-specific get-to-gathers, or something, to get things moving.

  451. mimi89999 has joined

  452. Ge0rG

    Board could assign some resources to do official interop testing. Also to making our wiki mobile-ready finally.

  453. adiaholic has joined

  454. pep.

    ralphm: "sprints"?

  455. ralphm

    (I meant /protocol/ development, really, but having implementations is good too of course)

  456. nyco

    sprints are awesome so far, we could use more focus and some sort of direction, indeed

  457. Guus

    5 minutes left.

  458. ralphm

    Good to see various topics raised here. I'll take that make and see if I can create a comprehensive list from it.

  459. ralphm

    ^make^back

  460. Ge0rG

    ralphm: 👍

  461. nyco

    the list can be collected here, though: https://mensuel.framapad.org/p/2019-10-10-XSF-board-o5Yl05hJfT?lang=en

  462. Guus

    thanks

  463. ralphm

    4. Board & Council elections

  464. ralphm

    So we're having them soonish, and we need (more) candidates.

  465. Seve

    To have a roadmap, we need to have some sort of commitment for it. I think having a global XSF roadmap is good, I would first think about what do we want to fit in the roadmap and check after if we need to split it into two (XSF/protocol) or not

  466. ralphm

    I personally think it would be great to have people on Board who are not directly involved with protocol or software development.

  467. Guus

    Sign up here: https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Board_and_Council_Elections_2019

  468. nyco

    +1

  469. ralphm

    I do not yet have anyone in mind.

  470. nyco

    businessy people, yes or marketingy people

  471. nyco

    I second that opening

  472. ralphm

    Well, we've always been open in that regard, just recently haven't seen candidates in that regard.

  473. Ge0rG

    ralphm: isn't it better to look for people who are competent at PM, rather than for people who are incompetent at XMPP? ;)

  474. nyco

    PM?

  475. Ge0rG

    project management

  476. dwd

    Project Management.

  477. nyco

    wat

  478. nyco

    could have been Product Management as well

  479. ralphm

    Ge0rG: oh, I meant 'not necessarily involved'.

  480. ralphm

    But having a broader scope is always interesting.

  481. nyco

    people who are incompetent at XMPP are very, very, like very valuable to us!

  482. nyco

    we could use those profiles to greatly simplify our "message"

  483. Ge0rG

    nyco: but that shouldn't be a requirement for runnung for Board

  484. MattJ

    At some level I find this quite amusing

  485. nyco

    indeed

  486. ralphm

    So, I'd like to ask anyone currently on Board or on the floor, to think about this, and maybe provide suggestion to me.

  487. Ge0rG

    ralphm: suggestion of potential board candidates?

  488. Guus

    time

  489. MattJ

    I shall definitely give it some thought

  490. Seve

    ralphm, are you thinking about some specific skills?

  491. ralphm

    Ge0rG: we're not limiting applications in any way. There's still an election of course, and we already have candidates that have run before.

  492. ralphm

    Ge0rG: yes

  493. nyco

    new blood is cool as well

  499. Guus

    We need more focus in these meetings

  500. Ge0rG

    maybe also "has an hour or two per week for Board matters"

  501. nyco

    not forcefilly PM

  502. Guus

    and/or have more than 30 minutes

  503. ralphm

    Guus: we're already at AOB?

  504. Guus

    we're not getting our item list done

  505. nyco

    or really commit and engage

  506. Guus

    I'm raising that as an AOB item 🙂

  507. ralphm

    And if we didn't spend valuable time at the 'minute taker' item, then we'd have more time to discuss things.

  508. ralphm

    Ah

  509. nyco

    I'll propose a solution on the "minute taker" problem for next week

  510. Guus

    we've had a couple of trello cards on there for weeks, without addressing them.

  511. ralphm

    Guus: and we addressed them today, yay.

  512. nyco

    agree, we don't consume cards fast enough

  513. ralphm

    Many of the other items are awaiting feedback

  514. Seve

    Maybe we can be more async?

  515. ralphm

    But point taken.

  516. ralphm

    Sure, we can still do stuff on the board list. particularly around financials

  517. Guus

    I think we should strive to discuss less details in meetings - unsure how that works out in practice though.

  518. stpeter has joined

  519. nyco

    async would be added capacity, indeed but needs more organisation, commitment, engagement

  520. peter has joined

  521. nyco

    details arise in meetings, so let's set them free to expand

  522. ralphm

    Ok, so let's all review the topics on the trello board and see how we can cross them off

  523. Guus

    I disagree. I think we should use meetings to plan for discussion/processing of details, not to handle them.

  524. ralphm

    I'm sorry, but didn't we do just that?

  525. Guus

    as a for example: we discussed items to be put on a roadmap, instead of 'how do we update the roadmap'

  526. nyco

    Seve is right about async work, or out-of-meeting progress

  527. Guus

    there's a lot of things that we could do more abstract in these meetings, if we plan the legwork outside of these meetings.

  528. Seve

    My phabricator comment was about this exactly. Trying to find a way we improve as a team. I do feel we need more time to discuss (not in meetings but in general at least)

  529. Guus

    Like nyco said, that takes additional work though

  530. ralphm

    How to update the roadmap doesn't need a discussion, what's on it does and I'm glad we discussed it.

  531. nyco

    once again I agree with Seve that ideation happens during meetings, in real-time sync

  532. ralphm

    right

  533. MattJ

    However it may make sense to have separate meetings for deeper discussions around various topics

  534. nyco

    ah, good idea

  535. MattJ

    30 minutes is often not enough to cover one topic in detail

  536. MattJ

    and that happens quite often, it seems

  542. ralphm

    I usually reserve a 1 hour slot for this meeting

  543. MattJ

    As mentioned earlier I don't have room in my schedule to expand this meeting in its current timeslot, but sure, I agree in principle

  544. ralphm

    but try to keep it within 30min, to cater for the possibility a topic needs more time

  545. MattJ

    I did also, and will endeavour to return to that, but not for at least the next few weeks

    for CS-2020, I don't care much about the state of the XEP, but rather about what implementors need to consider

  595. lorddavidiii has joined

  596. Daniel

    It depends on what message you want to convey

  597. Daniel

    Note also that if you 'require' jingle ft 3 or 4 clients will have a chance at making that

  598. Daniel

    If you require both http upload and jingle I think you are down to 2-3

  599. Daniel

    Not that this should stop you

  600. Daniel

    But be aware of that

  601. Ge0rG

    Daniel: that's an interesting point. Should we have "optional" features?

  602. Daniel

    And it's not like other clients will implement jingle over night

  603. Daniel

    Optional features defeat the purpose

  604. Daniel

    There are already profiles

  605. Ge0rG

    Daniel: you mean the compliance suite Levels, or something different?

  606. Ge0rG

    Do we need a new one? "Core", "Advanced" and "Super Plus"?

  607. Daniel

    that would make more sense than having optional features

  608. Daniel

    (not that i like having super plus; but it still makes more sense than optional features)

  609. Ge0rG

    Daniel: I agree on that

  610. pep.

    You can include a "Gajim level" somewhere in there

  611. pep.

    (just teasing :p)

  612. Daniel

    i mean if you make jingle part of it i think Gajim and Conversations will be the only clients to make advanced im

  613. Ge0rG

    I don't want to overengineer that CS, so I'd rather force some clients to fall from Advanced to Core right now.

  614. Daniel

    (they might already?)

  615. Ge0rG

    I have no idea.

  616. Daniel

    poezio is probably still in the race

  617. Daniel

    but you lose it if you include jingle

  618. pep.

    I'm not worried about poezio dropping from the race

  619. Ge0rG

    with libcaca avatars?

  620. pep.

    Ge0rG, tct!

  621. Ge0rG

    pep.: I can't bother to remember the implementation details

  622. Daniel

    yes it's not a race

  623. Daniel

    but CS2020 should set some realistic goals maybe?

  624. pep.

    Ge0rG, https://mpv.io/manual/master/#video-output-drivers-tct

  625. Ge0rG

    is it realistic to have a client that can't send files if you are on j.c.d?

  626. Ge0rG

    I'd add XEP-0379 and Bookmarks2 if I wasn't being realistic.

  627. Daniel

    you have that with http upload

  628. zach has left

  634. pep.

    fwiw, poezio is already not a core client, we don't do direct invites, so it's already out of the race

  635. Daniel

    if you wanted to that would be easier to add than jingle ft

  636. pep.

    It certainly makes sense to have it in some use-cases, but it doesn't to get back into the race :)

  637. pep.

    (read: I wouldn't mind implementing it, but I need a proper use-case. Also, we have more urgent/important things to fix in poezio.. (and that's not OMEMO))

  638. Ge0rG

    after all, CS-2020 is not about a client pissing contest.

  639. pep.

    Ge0rG, not all, we need implementations of experimental XEPs, I am just not sure if a XEP mentioned in the compliance suite should have a certain amount of stability, or if it's just a pointer to the "next thing"

  711. zach has left

  712. zach has joined

  713. flow

    if compliance suites are supposed to point to the current state of the art, which experimental XEPs probably count as, then it shouldn't be included. If they are the map of the xep jungle, pointing out which xeps are (probably) ahead on the road, then you could and should include jingle file-transfer.

  714. marc_ has joined

  715. Ge0rG

    flow: there is the "Future Development" section for next things. XEPs in the CS should have some stability, and they should provide functionality needed by users

  716. Ge0rG

  717. flow

    Compliance suites could also be both, but then it should be probably marked which xeps are currently considered stable and which ones are the next big thing

  743. lskdjf

    Ge0rG, IMHO User Name Coloring should not be mandated by the compliance suite. If there is a client that does all the cool things but generates avatars similar to github or slack (patterns instead of single colors), that should not keep it from beeing an advanced xmpp client. Or really, if I don't want to color the names/avatars at all. It's a design thing and should be part of client diversity and choice. If you go that way you could as well mandate that clients have to do a conversation list instead of a roster for "consistency".

  744. Ge0rG

    lskdjf: I'm sure that the Conversation list will become a thing in a year or two, and then will be added to CS

  745. Ge0rG

    lskdjf: also nothing prevents your smart pattern avatar generator from applying the same color as other clients do

  746. !XSF_Martin

    I found lskdjf is having a valid point.

  747. Ge0rG

    Is our goal to appease client developers or to make XMPP finally suitable for normal people?

  748. Ge0rG

    lskdjf: you are making a valid point indeed, but I disagree with that. Feel free to bring that up on standards@ and get more people behind you

  749. !XSF_Martin

    I as a partly normal person am happy with my terminal not looking like a rainbow when chatting. 😃

  750. lskdjf

    Ge0rG, where does the "mandate the UI" end? when all clients look the same? there are different users and different use cases. Not everyone is happy with the same thing. many people actually like a roster, and they have a valid point. and if there's a client that provides them with a roster, that's good and not less XMPP-compatible.

  751. Ge0rG

    I'm not going to get convinced, but sufficient negative feedback could certainly make me remove it again

  752. Ge0rG

    lskdjf: I'm not saying "get rid of the roster", I'm saying "support an automatic synchronization of your open conversations over all clients"

  753. !XSF_Martin

    I don't really see nickname colors as a usability but more as theming.

  754. Ge0rG

    lskdjf: if the user wants to disable it, well, let them

    Ge0rG, why? because some people think my preference in UI isn't the "correct" one?

  760. Ge0rG

  765. lskdjf

  792. Zash

    fippo, so we're in control. or can they un-delegate it? if so, it's no different than DNS based URIs?

    zash: hrm, rfc 8141 doesn't say whether the iana can undelegate. lets pester one of the authors? :-)

    There is no undelegation or redelegation for URN namespaces. URN namespace assignments are permanent because the whole point of URNs is permanence. However, we did not explicitly mention this in RFC 8141.
