    We have a board meeting in 1h40m... would appreciate someone to step up as minute-taker ahead of time so we don't spend half the meeting on that again

  248. karoshi has left

  249. MattJ

    I have most of a bot implemented, but not going to suggest we rush to use it this week (it needs a little more polish)

  250. MattJ

    Answering the discussion from last night, no, the bot does not summarize discussions - many organisation minutes do not, and only record actual motions and other things explicitly requested to go on the record

  251. karoshi has joined

  252. MattJ

    So the bot does this, but with links to the discussion logs of each topic

  253. MattJ

    Which seems a fine compromise to me

  254. MattJ

    Summarizing discussions accurately is one of the hardest tasks of minute-taking

  255. MattJ

    We have the advantage that all our discussions are already in text form and recorded

  256. pep.

    probably most important

  257. pep.

    the whole point of minutes to me is for people not to have to read the logs

  258. MattJ

    I'd rather let people see the outcome, and give them access to the raw data, rather than filtering through some other person

  259. MattJ

    It's very easy for someone to introduce accidental bias this way (related problem: we don't explicitly approve minutes currently)

  260. pep.

    well yes that's why approving minutes is necessary

  261. Zash

    Standard practice afaik is to have one minute taker and two to verify and sign off on the minutes.

  262. MattJ

    We can't even find one person to write the minutes :)

  263. MattJ

    and this has been going on for years

  264. MattJ

    They aren't going to magically appear - and we've tried alternatives (thanks nyco) where everyone collaborates on them, that didn't really work either though

  271. winfried has joined

  272. MattJ

    Sure, maybe if many things

  273. MattJ

    IMO, the XSF should consider paying for certain roles/positions that we continuously struggle to get volunteers for (touchy subject I know)

  287. pep.

    jcbrand: I agree

  288. jcbrand

    Or provide some other kinds of incentive, but I can't imagine what... swag?

  294. mukt2 has joined

  295. pep.

    either that, or board takes responsability for it and we all contribute (we've agreed about one way to do this last week but there might be others)

  296. MattJ

    *shrug*

  297. MattJ

    Personally I strongly feel that a bot is the best approach

  298. eta has left

  299. MattJ

    I think I'm alone in that though

  300. Seve

    MattJ: I'm with you on this, I agree on all you have said

  301. jcbrand

    Someone needs to write a bot then

  302. MattJ

    As above, I have one almost completed (but not ready to use this week)

  303. MattJ

    and I'm not going to attempt to push it on the group if everyone else is against it

  304. jcbrand

    ah sorry

  305. eta has joined

  306. Shell has left

  307. Shell has joined

  308. jcbrand

    You could just enable it silently and then show everyone the awesome minutes that it takes

  309. jcbrand

    and then bask in glory

  310. MattJ

    Yeah, have pondered that :)

  311. flow

    jcbrand, do we have enough income to pay someone? how much could we pay someone? do we have someone who manages our funds?

  312. winfried has left

  313. winfried has joined

  314. Zash

    The IETF, while a fair bit larger than the XSF, does hire out administrative tasks to a company.

  315. Seve

    We have the raw data, and the outcome with the bot. It is perfect, less layers to access to what has happened. I have nothing more to say to what it has been already said by MattJ. I see it as a perfect fit.

  316. winfried has left

  317. winfried has joined

  318. Guus

    (Don't have time to read back, but I have no strong feelings either way about using a bot)

  319. winfried has left

  320. winfried has joined

  321. MattJ

    Hopefully by next week I'll have the bot polished off and some docs written, and then I'll propose that we switch to it

  322. jcbrand

    flow: Last I heard there are funds, although the XSF could definitely make more of an effort to woo sponsors

  323. winfried has left

  324. neshtaxmpp has left

  325. winfried has joined

  326. jcbrand

    The point is not to make someone rich or to provide a full-time job, but to at least make the task more palatable

  327. flow

    jcbrand, we sure have funds, but what can be spend on reappearing payments? also I think before we can seriously consider payming someone, we should look for a treasurer, cause I am not sure if PSA has the time to take care of that

  328. MattJ

    Did I mention I'll be offering the bot for a small fee?

  329. MattJ

    (muahaaha, etc.)

  330. jcbrand

    haha

  331. jcbrand

    If it's a once-off fee, then it's better than paying a human to do it

  332. stpeter has left

  333. jcbrand

    flow my understanding is that the XSF has been sitting on cash for year, not really doing anything with it

  334. Guus

    flow we do have a treasurer, Peter.

  335. jcbrand

    flow my understanding is that the XSF has been sitting on cash for years, not really doing anything with it

  336. flow

    Guus, I know, but only beause of our search for a new treasurer did not yield any results.

  337. Guus

    I have no inclination to dismiss his work or to assume that he's not able to perform in that role.

  338. pep.

    Guus: il sure that's not what flow is saying

  339. pep.

    Guus: i'm sure that's not what flow is saying

  340. Guus

    no, we searched for a new Executive Officer (which was also Peter). We never searched for a new Treasurer, afiak.

  341. flow

    Guus, no, not at all, but I think that peter would actually be happy if someone else would fill that role

  342. MattJ

    Was just typing what Guus said

  343. winfried has left

  344. winfried has joined

  345. flow

    Guus, we searched for a treasurer in 2015: https://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/members/2015-July/008117.html

  346. Guus

    I did not know that. But, since, Peter was asked to stand for another year repeatedly, and has never objected or mentioned he'd prefer someone else took over.

  347. winfried has left

  348. winfried has joined

  349. flow

    I'd speculate that this caused by a mix of it being currently not that mutch work (I assume) and the expectation that there is no one to step in

  350. mukt2 has left

  351. Guus

    Hey, if he does want someone else to take over, I'm perfectly happy to search for someone else. I'd just not postpone any other activity in the assumption that we need to refill the Treasurer role, as the person that's currently in that role did not give any indication that that's relevant.

  352. karoshi has left

  353. flow

    My suggestion would be to ask peter of he is still willing to act as treasurer if we increase the workload

  354. flow

    that's all

  355. Guus

    right, we're more aligned than it initially appeared to me. 🙂

  356. Guus

    I don't think Peter will be silent if the work load becomes more than he's happy with.

  357. Shell has left

  358. Shell has joined

  359. MattJ

    I'll just prep another plugin for the bot in that case ;)

  360. Zash

    Heh, I was going to suggest that. Bots are better with numbers after all :P

  361. MattJ

    Yes, Lua has great floating point support

  362. MattJ

    What could go wrong?

  363. MattJ

    !spend €400

  364. pep.

    fwiw I have suggested going through SPI before (to handle finance, and they also provide legal council etc.), to stpeter at least, maybe that's something we can think about

  365. MattJ

    Actually that would be something I could get behind if necessary

  366. pep.

    They don't do minute taking yet

  367. Guus

    I wonder how much autonomy we give up by going through a party like SPI. I have yet to look into that deeper.

  408. MattJ

    1.1) Reevaluate the process for accepting XEP contributions

  414. Guus

    Jonas asks if we got legal council on the necessity of the (CLA) process.

  415. Guus

    I do not know.

  416. Seve

    Hate to say this but neither do I

  417. Guus

    I was involved in setting up the CLA bot, but only because it was a pending issue ('to-be-done')

  418. pep.

    What was before github?

  419. Guus

    I've looked back in my personal mail archive, but couldn't find much of a motive for this.

  420. pep.

    And how did people agree to the IPR

  421. Guus

    no, that was on github.

  422. MattJ

    I think it was implicit before Github

  423. lorddavidiii has left

  424. pep.

    I'm asking about before github

  425. MattJ

    Not sure if the editor kept any records, not that I'm aware (but stpeter would know)

  426. pep.

    (lag?)

  427. MattJ

    None of us are lawyers, though in my experience a lawyer's opinion on something like this tends to usually just be an opinion and "maybe"

  428. Seve

    Who can we reach to resolve "Q1"? (Actually confirm if we can ignore that step from the process)

  429. Guus

    I think we'll not get an answer with the people in this meeting. 🙂 Let's find someone who was involved at the time?

  430. MattJ

    Obviously having an explicit ack from the contributor is good for our records, should an issue arise

  431. Seve

    Yes..

  432. MattJ

    If we don't have that, I can see it being problematic if there ever was a dispute

  433. pep.

    jonas’ and I can go through standard discussions about switching to github and we may find why/who decided

  434. pep.

    But getting hints from someone who knows would be good

  435. pep.

    MattJ, sure but ACKs can take different forms

  436. MattJ

    Sure

  437. Guus

    oh, shoot.

  438. Guus

    I'm only now reading the rest of Jonas' question

  439. MattJ

    I'd be fine with any alternative to the bot if that's what we want

  440. Guus

    it was below a fold in trello

  441. Guus

    (reading)

  442. jonas’

    13:39:04 pep.> And how did people agree to the IPR email

  443. Yagiza has left

    13:39:44 MattJ> Not sure if the editor kept any records, not that I'm aware (but stpeter would know) I kept records for all users which did it via email

  445. jonas’

    (with me)

  446. MattJ

    Also, I may not be up to date on the latest on this thread, but I think we may not necessarily be moving off Github anyway?

  447. jonas’

    (there were one or two cases since I became editor which were handled via email)

  448. MattJ

    jonas’, thanks, good to know

  449. jonas’

    MattJ, clabot is a blocker for moving off gitlab, and I’m swaying towards "do a hybrid solution as a testballoon, long term Gitlab primary"

  450. jonas’

    MattJ, clabot is a blocker for moving off github, and I’m swaying towards "do a hybrid solution as a testballoon, long term Gitlab primary"

  451. MattJ

    I'd be more comfortable if we kept an explicit IPR acknowledgement from contributors about IPR, I'm absolutely fine with any solution for that

  452. pep.

    As an editor I'd also prefer if we didn't have two venues as a long term goal

  453. Guus

    I think that getting clarification from a lawyer on this is both costly and time-consuming.

  454. Guus

    I'd suggest to find a way to not make this issue a blocker for other editor-process improvements.

  455. jonas’

    ok, so let’s skip the "did we get counsel" and move on to "what do you think about my proposed alternatives"

    I'm fine with the proposed alternatives

  458. jonas’

    Q2 specifically :)

  459. MattJ

    As you say, this is all info made public on contribution anyway

  460. Seve

    I like that is based on git

  461. MattJ

    Lawyers hate it ;)

  462. Seve

    heh :)

  463. MattJ

    GDPR issues, if someone wanted to be forgotten

  464. jonas’

    I’d like to have Board-ack on the option in Q2. Though we could also find a way to make the list non-public if board is uncomfortable with having a blatant list of PII world-readable on gitlab

  465. Seve

    Good point

  466. MattJ

    But I consider that a rare enough event that we can cross that bridge when/if we ever need to

  467. pep.

    Yeah.. I'm happy with sign-off but I'd like legal council tbh. It's not like we hadn't had contributions from companies with money in the past that could actually use this against us

  468. jonas’

    note that right for deletion is guarded by technical feasibility, only the right to rectification is unconditional.

  469. MattJ

    If anything, part of the acknowledgement should be that their info will be public in our repos

  470. jonas’

    true

  471. MattJ

    So make that explicit, and I'm in

  472. Yagiza has joined

    maybe Board can make a motion on that :)

  474. jonas’

    and then I’ll do things

  475. Guus

    I don't want to vote on things now.

  476. Guus

    I desperately want more feedback on this

  477. jonas’

    (and I’m back in my $work meeting)

  478. MattJ

    Feedback from?

  479. MattJ

    Thanks jonas’

  480. Guus

    at least from (seniors in the) community, and possibly legal council.

  481. MattJ

    What exactly concerns you?

  482. Guus

    I don't like changing things that I'm unsure of why they were put in place in the first place.

  483. MattJ

    CLAs are quite common

  484. Guus

    as pep. hinted, legal repercussions _might_ be severe.

  485. MattJ

    and their purpose is well understood

  486. MattJ

    I don't understand

  487. MattJ

    There are two questions here... 1) do we need a CLA? 2) how do we process the CLA?

  488. MattJ

    My answers are (1) yes (2) however we want to

  489. Seve

    I just see moving from confirming on an email to a commit message? (excluding the clabot)

  490. MattJ

    clabot is not mandated by lawyers

  491. MattJ

    Most won't even know what it is

  492. MattJ

    It's just a convenient thing someone made

  493. pep.

    My answers are (1) maaaybe? and (2) We should get legal council to confirm that method is fine

  494. MattJ

    So if you're concerned about moving away from that, I don't think that's justified

  495. Shell has left

  496. Shell has joined

  497. Guus

    Right - I'm a lot less uncomfortable if we're not discussing the necessity of a CLA.

  498. MattJ

    I'm quite sure we didn't get legal counsel on whether clabot was acceptable

  499. Guus

    I'm happy to use another technical ways to replace clabot.

  500. Guus

    (to do the exact same thing, record the CLA)

  501. MattJ

    Plenty of other orgs do CLAs through other means, some insist on written signed forms

  502. pep.

    MattJ, re clabot, being a commonly used service I'd hope they have had legal council themselves, or they've been put to the test already.

  503. MattJ

    Many lawyers will probably will tell you that's necessary

  504. MattJ

    You only have to convince a court that someone had agreed to the IPR terms

  505. pep.

    I think I can draw a parallel to security here. Put as many resources to protect against what you think you'll have to face

  506. MattJ

    If we don't have any process, and it's implicit, I think that's very hard

  507. pep.

    I think I can draw a parallel to security here. Put as much resources to protect against what you think you'll have to face

  508. MattJ

    If we have any kind of paper trail, then we're good

  509. MattJ

    (and paper includes email in this case)

  510. MattJ

    e.g. that's one concern - if we migrate off Github do we lose the CLAs of previous contributors?

  511. MattJ

    Ok, we're approaching full time

  512. Guus

    cla-assistent lets you export them, if memory serves

  513. MattJ

    Looks like we don't have enough to vote on, but maybe folks can think about this issue more and we can vote next week

    FWIW, as I remember the history here, we used to assert that just having submitted a commit was sufficient (that the contribution to the repo itself was enough). A prior board decided there had to be an explicit step added, so an explicit step was added.

  519. pep.

    Guus, I'm curious to know if an export is sufficient in court. Or if cla-assistant signs it or something

  541. Seve

    Haha

  542. Kev

    I mean, the first part is definitely (as sure as I can be) right. We used to just assert that by contribuing a XEP that said in it (once XSL was applied) that it was owned by the XSF that meant the author was assigning ownership to the XSF, and it was definitely decided to change that because it wasn't deemed safe.

  543. Kev

    The details of the decision process during the change are a bit fuzzier for me.

    that was useful as a guideline

  577. mukt2 has joined

  578. jonas’

    The rough consensus that we do want a process which gets us an affirmative ACK is already important to me. Replacing CLAbot as a tool I don’t think is a problem in general, since it can’t do any magic either.

  579. neshtaxmpp has joined

  580. jonas’

    We’ll find a similarly powerful replacement for the GitLab platform, the process I outlined would be an example of that.

  581. jonas’

    regarding exporting the "signatures" of cla-assistant, I don’t think that’s of much use since they’re tied to github users, which is not quite a thing on GitLab ;)

  582. neshtaxmpp has left

  583. jonas’

    though I guess we can restore some manually (and I’d be happy to) for the common contributors so they don’t have to go through the hassle; in the end, the cardinality of authors is rather low

  584. bear has left

  585. pep.

    jonas’, they're useful though as a proof that existing contributors have ACK'd

    Zash, so you would not do that to check with the common contributors if the process looks alright?

  596. pep.

    yeah

  597. jonas’

    I see

    It's one less (legally?) error-prone thing for editors to do as well

  599. jonas’

    indeed

  600. mukt2 has left

  601. Zash

    jonas’, I got the impression that we might find a replacement clabot thing. if that turns out too annoying to subject previous contributors to, then isn't it too annoying?

  603. jonas’

    very true

  604. jonas’

    good point you make

  605. Kev

    Of the barriers that might be present in moving to gitlab purely for me, I wouldn't think going through the CLABot process again that problematic (assuming it was no harder than the current one).

    disregarding of whether we want to restore ACKs, do we not have to keep an export?

  612. pep.

    disregarding whether we want to restore ACKs, do we not have to keep an export?

  613. Zash

    could argue that it's implied in the merging of the PR

  614. pep.

    It was already decided to go with explicit ACK (and I agree with that)

  615. Zash

    if you assume in good faith that the bot did its job

  616. jonas’

    I’d still want an export for safety

  617. pep.

    Though I'm not sure I understand your sentence, Zash

  618. jonas’

    if github folds, we don’t have a record of what happened in the PR

  619. jonas’

    and that clabot required anythign

  620. pep.

    that

  621. jonas’

    and that clabot required anything

  622. pep.

    Though we'll always be dependent on github anyway..

  623. pep.

    Because if they fold we lose the identity provider

  624. pep.

    (for these signatures)

  625. pep.

    We'd need to ensure the export contains email addresses rather
