XSF Discussion - 2020-04-16

Gajim does work, and it's UI is atrocious. Not sure if it' still an issue with Pidgin but I always seem to run into issues when people use Pidgin on XMPP

*Gajim doesn't work

AV calls used to work back in Gajim 0.16.9

Not anymore

Has pidgin been fixed?

alexis hi

I might not be available for the meeting today.

pep., live happens. No worries!

life, too :/

0. Welcome

Hi! Who do we have?

o/

Hello o/

But actually Im in a meeting now

\o

Shame on our glorious leader for being ambiguous 🙂

:-D

Seve?

Hello! I'm here, thanks for the mention, ralphm !

1. Minute taker

🦗

None from the floor?

If not, I'll compile them post meeting.

Thanks

2. Commitments

I've sent out a bunch of e-mails around sponsoring.

Naturally I forgot to change the subject for the one to the community :/

Noted, tx

ralphm, I saw that, thanks for working on it!

Yes!

I also reached out to my contact for marketing today, too. Will report back when I get a reply.

Not sure if you got my PM the other day, but I know someone who may be a good fit also

Great, nice to hear that

MattJ, thanks, I neglected to follow-up with you, sorry.

No worries

Let's pick that up for next week.

Sounds good

3. Topics for decisions

{}

4. Discussion

I don't think there's something specific we need to discuss today, but any suggestions welcome.

can we put the older ones to bed?

like adopt a character

ohhh :(

what do we need to decide on that?

Not saying yay or nay, just want to decide.

I think it's a pitty, but if there is no consensus on that

Which character to pick, was what we needed to decide, wasn't it

keeping it on the agenda forever doesn't make sense.

so that implies that we are in favor of doing this?

let's make this concrete?

That is what I recall, but correct me if I'm wrong ✏

I'd like to either vote, or have a concrete action that will lead to some form of progress.

If this is really just about the which character, and not if we want to do this, then I suggest we ask people to submit suggestions and then hold a member opinion vote about which character to choose. (hint: I would volunteer to organize that)

But I don't want to put in time for this if no character is adopted in the end

I think we even decided on the character, but I need to look up which (not the one in the trello comment)

The last minutes I see say this: "Ralph notes that there is probably enough support to ask the community on what character they would like."

2019-09-12

ok, so many I was wrong :-D

In which case if flow wants to take this to the community for us, that would be great :)

I motion that we have Florian organize a community-driven character-for-adoption vote.

+1

Sounds super flow !

Guus, i'd like to stress that I envison only a member opinion vote, to which the board is not bound to follow

flow wfm

yay

Regarding iteam budget, I believe MattJ would back on this?

'sounds super' and 'yay' count as votes?

+1

No concrete plan yet for iteam, partly this depends on whether we'll ever hear back about eos (the down server)

+1

Guus: what about your wfm?

(you need to vote on motions you put forward yourself, too)

I put in the motion - isn't that an implied +1?

no

ah, sorry.

well, +1.

🙂

ok

MattJ thanks

5. AOB

while we have flow here: gsoc status?

so, mentions of unicode make him appear, but mentions of his nickname do not? 🙂

I'm happy to move on.

no other aobs for me.

6. Date of Next

+1W

7. Close

Thanks all!

None from me then :)

:-D

Thank you very much!

Too slow, Seve

Thanks!

thanks 😉

;D

Guus, does Openfire support direct TLS for s2s?

MattJ Yes, but I think it's broken.

Ok :)

It's rather new - older servers won't have support

Considering using it for a deployment, currently only needs to federate with Prosody and Openfire (Prosody doesn't support it yet, I wondered if Openfire did)

You're considering Openfire for a deployment?!

Given your background, that kind of surprises me 🙂

We'll probably going to rewrite large parts of Openfire's s2s code later this year

That's badly needed - we're securing funding to do so.

No, sorry, I should have been clearer - I'm considering using Direct TLS for a deployment

That deployment runs Prosody, but needs to federate with Prosody and Openfire

ah. 🙂

Normal s2s wouldn't work

If you're rewriting s2s, join us in deprecating dialback :)

(I imagine that will go down well with many of your customers)

Hmmm it's around from over 2 years... Is that new?

Rather not necessary

not *extremely necessary

I meant Direct TLS

yes

I think I implemented Direct TLS in s2s around 2018 or so

pep.: it makes life a lot easier in some cases when you need to offload TLS

Guus, I am sorry, got distracted by another telco. gsoc summary is that we have one excellent proposal and a good one, so we requested a maximum of two slots and a minimum of one. gsoc participation is a bit lower than the previous years, but the involved projects are motivated to mentor the respective students (if we get the slots)

flow Thanks! Let's hope we get both slots!

MattJ, my point. You're only talking about implementing now, when it's been available for "that long", so it's only a nice to have

Ping about https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/697

I think it’s good to go.

ralphm, fyi https://idavoll.ik.nu/ is still 503, you may want to fix that.
