XSF Discussion - 2019-11-08

Ge0rG, so I have retracted the two agenda items, and it is clear that is is unclear how to proceed with adding agenda items anyway. There's still your proposed item left, maybe propose it to board for next week in addition? See what they decide the course of action should be.

> it's not about keeping records, it's about publishing them Yeah it would be great if the membership applications would not require people to write their personal information into a public wiki anymore.

This has been addressed in the past repeatedly, with the consensus being that a public standards organization can require its prospective members to be known in public, mainly for transparency reasons

Definitively hard to trust an organization like that

Seve: what's your point?

Transparency makes a lot of sense for Council, Board and official positions. But for membership it doesn't. Also what would be way more important than an e-Mail address would be the list of companies that pay a member/council/board, at least if we are targeting transparency and not just leak of private information...

Ge0rG: I believe there are other places we ought to be transparent first.

Seve: I just didn't get towards which part the sarcasm was directed, if there was :)

lskdjf‎ agreed

how does the no @by for origin-id work with j2j gateways? https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0359.html#origin-id

https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/632 @iTeam, can someone please merge and deploy?

pep.: why should a j2j gateway add origin-id?

(I'm still of the strong conviction that origin-id must die)

Ge0rG, you'd have the original client add it?

pep.: that's what it is for

the main benefit of origin-id over @id in the stanza is to tell everybody "look, I'm smart and I can generate unique message IDs"

Ge0rG, I could see a use-case where the original client doesn't want anything their client sent leaking outside (apart from messages, of course). By this I mean having the j2j translate everything (not just routing)

I don't have this use-case myself (I think?)

pep.: I can't follow

But then not having @by in origin-id is not an issue anyway, nvm

the gateway would just remove it and add its own

One could take a j2j gateway as a client in front of another (that's essentially what it is, right?)

the j2j gateway is the client behind of another, isn't it?

is there even a reasonable j2j gateway implementation anywhere?

no clue

last time I checked there was no progress on this front for 15 years

I've only started thinking about it (wait for another 15 years), was curious about other things and that lead to j2j :x

Kev Guus (I don't know who else from iTeam) can you please deploy now https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/632 ? sorry to insist...

That shouldn't need anyone from iteam, just needs a webbish person to hit merge, and it'll get autodeployed.

At least, unless something changed.

ok, so who are the webbish persons?

That is still undefined? I did ask once

I'm not involved in that at all - but it looks like Guus at least merges things, looking at past PRs.

jonas’ too.

Guus is board and jonas has rights but iirc he doesn't know why

Looks like it's usually jonas’ who approves stuff for the website, at least. For whatever reason.

Actually, no, might be an even mix of Guus and jonas’. But either way - they seem to be the main people doing it.

so I guess https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/XSF_Infrastructure needs some maintenance, right?

I do have the power to hit merge though, if you want me to with your Board hat on. I just won't have done any review.

That page does need looking at, but the question of the content of the website is independent of iteam.

I would not like to sound bossy or kind of totalitarian some reviews have been made by MDosch, Guus, Link Mauve, and mwild1 I feel like it is enough anyway, the newsletter already has been sent by email

oh, good precision: content vs infra, thx

I guess I'll add another item on board's agenda for next week.. Who is webteam.

And how to get in

I'm sorry, I'm in a 7 hour conference call with panicking customer

I can hit merge if you want, but unsure what I'm merging

oh, newsletter

It should be safe to merge

we've done that before

merged

Thanks

I need to go back in.

it'll take some time for it to be online

👍

Thanks Guus. Sorry not to have been more helpful, nyco.

np

thanks all, it's done, it's cool, we progress, which is great, and yes please do propose that question for the board meeting

Out of curiosity is there anyone in here who can build the website locally on their machine? Or is the only way to rebuild the website a mystery docker box?

I was hunting down the doap thing which apparently is block by people not being able to debug the website build

I wasn't aware of any mystery docker boxes

It's in the cloud, no?

But I don't think I've ever built the websie locally either

I've used both the mystery docker box as well as through vagrant (as supplied in the git repo) in the past.

the vagrant build gives you more of a regular server to play with

Haven't used it in a while though.

nyco, no link?

yep, I f*cked up this... :'( sorry...

Shit happens. Can't get it right all the time. Thanks for putting in all of that effort!

What Guus said

As a French national I feel the need to protest anyway. :p

always :)

I am a victim of the same fate

I reject your protest and substitute my own
