Just food for thoughts: With fossdem happening online, might be nice to create some MUC prior to the event start, to help those that wish to do something there to coordinate. (matrix does so and +100 people joined)

emus, there is potentially no process

emus, https://dpaste.org/XbmE -- a heavy edit; feel free to use as little/much as you like 😉

Thank you theTedd, sorry for asking this - are you a native english speaker?

theTedd, thanks!

small correction; https://dpaste.org/a7ex

emus
Okay great. I will put this into the draft tonight and then merge
-
theTedd
👍
-
emus
theTedd - that is a great edit
-
emus
may I just keep the title 1 and the 2. sub title or is that a heavy mistake/weird expression?
-
theTedd
I think they both imply the same thing, so just choose one or the other
-
emus
The second one is actually finishing the first one in my opinion
-
theTedd
it matches with that to repeat the point, yes
-
emus
yes, that is my intention
-
theTedd
"The App Shouldn't Matter" and "Technology Not Apps" are a pair
-
emus
Yes I understand, but I preferred to keep state the first half of my though (but also the written statement) then add the second half to finish. So my question was: were my titles technically correct?✎ -
theTedd
there's nothing wrong with them grammatically, no
-
emus
Yes I understand, but I preferred to keep stateing the first half of my though (but also the written statement) then add the second half to finish. So my question was: were my titles technically correct? ✏
-
emus
okay, then I took almost everything from your review 🙂

Happy to merge tonight!

mathieui
The process of updating a protoxep during approval period is just "send a motivated merge request and get an editor to agree", right?
-
dwd
mathieui, No.
-
dwd
mathieui, It's not IPR-controlled by the XSF yet, so really you need to talk to the proposer.
-
mathieui
dwd, I mean, as a proposer of course
-
mathieui
otherwise yes, that makes sense
-
dwd
Oh! Then yeah!
-
mathieui
Thanks!
-
SamWhited
editors: multiplexing was accepted as XEP-0451 and it's on the website, but it doesn't appear to be in the repo. Did something go wrong with the process?
-
SamWhited
(/cc jonas’ I think? I never remember who's doing editor stuff these days)
-
jonas’
I am
-
jonas’
SamWhited, pushed, sorry
-
SamWhited
thankx
-
SamWhited
thanks, even
-
jonas’
SamWhited, in general, editor@muc.xmpp.org might be the place :)
-
SamWhited
Then I'd have to join a room I'm not already in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
SamWhited
And remember what that room is
-
arc
SamWhited: Know that feeling 😅
-
arc
There is a lot of room for improvement with xmpp group chat
-
SamWhited
I do often wish we had something sort of like email where I can send a broadcast without actually joining or receiving replies (unless they're directed directly to me)
-
SamWhited
Like an email alias or a mailing list that allows writes without joining
-
arc
The directed to you part is one thing we need to really address
-
arc
SamWhited: tagging systems like this are lazy, dating back to plain text IRC
-
SamWhited
arc: tagging systems? I don't think that's a term I've heard before
-
arc
Taking a message for a specific recipient within a group chat
-
arc
Tagging
-
arc
Flagging?
-
Zash
One of the first plugins I wrote for Prosody was a way to send messages to other groups without joining them (porting behavior previously performed by a bot).
-
Zash
So you could write editors: The thing seems to be weird And they could reply with xsf: Fixed, thanks!
-
SamWhited
oooh, nice, I like that idea as a feature
-
arc
But can't we do better than that?
-
Zash
MIX?
-
arc
I mean, how we specify who the message is intended for?
-
Zash
References?
-
SamWhited
References lets us specify text that should be highlighted or whatever, but we still need the actual feature built on top of it to @mention someone, other rooms on the server, maybe autocomplete, etc.
-
SamWhited
Whatever that ends up looking like.
-
Zash
I don't actually know if MIX inherited the property of PubSub of publishing being separate from subscriptions.
-
Zash
SamWhited, so, we need implementations? Agree.
-
arc
Implementations are always the problem
-
SamWhited
Zash: do we have a feature to implement?
-
SamWhited
I don't think references really gives us any of that, it just says "you can highlight stuff in the body"
-
arc
You know for most of us, covid19 plus winter means a ton of alone time inside. Sitting down and just hammering out a bunch of XMPP work on our respective software would be a great use of this time
-
mathieui
arc, if only it was that easy, though :x
-
arc
Why isn't it?
-
Zash
SamWhited, and say that it's type=mention and uri=xmpp:yourjid ?
-
Zash
And then either the client does something or the server does something like https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/muc-mention-notifications.html
-
SamWhited
Sounds good to me
-
arc
I would be happy to grab the Julython code and set it up for, say, March, with participation prices like t-shirts and stuff, classy name and art
-
SamWhited
arc: that's a fun idea, I love a good hackathon
-
SamWhited
(I think the XMPP library I make actually started as a hackathon project for HipChat, then got rewritten later on my own time so Atlassian wouldn't own it)
-
mathieui
arc, not saying it is a bad idea or anything, but more than anything it’s pretty hard to focus due to all the externalities (depending on how your country handles covid)
-
SamWhited
This is true. ⤴️
-
arc
Sure yes. It just seems like we all have these little bouts of energy that usually just fizzles out after we have a discussion about it without much code being written
-
SamWhited
I've been trying to do more XMPP work on weekends and after work on my day job (and thinking about it a lot when I should be doing my job like right this moment) but there's also just the fact that being in front of a computer all day working on crap I hate makes me desperately not want to continue being in front of a computer even for things I like working on
-
mathieui
But if there’s something setup I would be happy to participate anyway, even if I may not do a lot!
-
arc
You know what, I'm going to write a SCAM proposal for this. Even if it is online only.
-
mathieui
(and I am kind of in the same situation as SamWhited)
-
SamWhited
Having a lot of people in a room working on different things is a good motivator, even if less work gets done in some ways because you're distracted and chatting and what not
-
SamWhited
"room" being the virtual kind of room, of course
-
arc
I agree
-
arc
I get so much more work done at sprints and hackathons than solo focused time.
-
SamWhited
I end up chatting for most of it and not getting much done, but then I have a ton of ideas from talking to people and am fired up about it so it gets done later
-
SamWhited
Unless it's a team thing actually, I guess I've gotten a ton done in those now that I think about it
-
arc
I was very much the opposite for me, I get fired up early in the sprint with talking about this stuff, I usually blast out a lot of work over the second half
-
SamWhited
This reminds me, there's a hackathon coming up at work. I think I'm going to be slightly self-serving and do some work that's relevant to my day job but is open source in upstream projects I use in my XMPP stuff.
-
SamWhited
It's a win-win.
-
arc
What are you doing for work these days?
-
arc
And catchy name brainstorm?
-
SamWhited
arc: DHCP/IPAM/DNS stuff. I'd be curious what you're up to these days too, we should catch up out of band.
-
SamWhited
HaXMPPathon?
-
SamWhited
(maybe not)
-
arc
I'm thinking something I could have one of our artists make logos and t-shirt art for
-
arc
You know I did not get a single conference shirt last year. Not one. I think that's the first in like 20 years
-
arc
But everyday I drink tea and water out of a hackathon mug that I got from a gnome sprint 5 years ago.
-
arc
It could be a play on words, like including the word March but using it like walking in formation
-
arc
Even if that is a bit english-centric
-
Zash
PhalanX March?
-
mdosch
Like 'March of freedom'?
-
arc
Code March?
-
mdosch
Trampling down the bugs?
-
mdosch
🤣
-
arc
It would also be handy if the name led easily to ideas for the artist(s) making swag art
-
arc
ralphm: mattj: Seve: dwd: it's that time again
-
MattJ
ohai
-
dwd
It is indeed.
-
Seve
I apologise, I'm on mobile and on a unstable connection, I'll try to follow but can't do much more, sorry :(
-
arc
ralphm: ?
-
arc
Well we have quorum but I'm not sure we have an agenda. Dwd have you substitute chaired yet?
-
dwd
I have not, but I am in a meeting that's overrun at work, so I can pay some attention but not enough to chair.
-
dwd
(I mean, the meeting is that we've won a major contract and we're drinking, so...)
-
arc
Actually I slept through last week's meeting
-
dwd
You got more out of it than we did then.
-
arc
We really need to get her act together this year 😅
-
Seve
Yes
-
arc
S/her/our
-
MattJ
Sounds like we barely have a quorum, shall we continue or skip? I don't have anything to bring up other than my concern about FOSDEM and (apparent?) lack of SCAM activity
-
MattJ
But without anyone representing SCAM a meeting won't fix anything there
-
arc
Well you're drinking, seve is on a unstable connection, and I don't think any of us have agenda items. I don't see how we could have a meeting
-
dwd
True enough. But we do need to gain some oversight/leadership of SCAM and the summit.
-
dwd
So before I get more than halfway down my pint, we could agree that.
-
MattJ
Agreed to that
- Seve nods
-
dwd
Who has time and cycles amongst us to do that?
-
MattJ
Nobody :P (which is probably similar for SCAM I assume)
-
MattJ
I can try and do some poking this week
-
MattJ
But I'm the worst option if there is anyone else with more time
-
arc
I know from a different organization that I'm with that Fosdem really needs our details like last week.
-
dwd
Yes, true. It'd be great to just get an idea of what's happening, if nothign else. Can we at least commit to discuss on list?
-
MattJ
I don't even know if we applied for or received a stand
-
dwd
Me neither.
-
arc
We, as in board or scam?
-
dwd
arc, Yes.
-
MattJ
The board did nothing, we agreed to let SCAM handle it
-
arc
We as a board already decided to send Fosdem to scam.
-
MattJ
(as is usual)
-
dwd
Did SCAM know we did?
-
arc
That was another week that we're off wasn't here
-
arc
I don't even know who is a member of scam anymore
-
arc
But then Ralph said that he was going to take care of it, I think?
-
arc
IDK I have only been to Fosdem once, and only because Google paid for my trip. It's even harder now from the west coast US
-
Zash
https://fosdem.org/2021/news/2020-12-11-stands-cfp/ > The deadline is the 25th of December.
-
MattJ
I'll post to the list
-
dwd
Sounds lik a sensible first step.
-
Seve
Thank you

emus
I would like to invite everyone to take a little review if there are any branches that can be deleted: https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/branches
-
emus
I removed a few already 🚮️ but Im not entirely sure for all of the left ones
-
Zash
Closed + merged are probably fine to drop
-
emus
Yes I thought so
-
Zash
Newsletter branches from 2019 can probably go too, why are they even there?
-
Zash
dependabot?
-
emus
because they got never merged as this, but you need to ask the authors from that time
-
emus
no clue
-
mathieui
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0379.html#general_idea I just noted that the coloring on this schema is pretty funny
-
Zash
funky
-
mathieui
emus, how long does it take for a blog post to appear on the website?
-
emus
zash?
-
emus
iteam?
-
mathieui
(I have no issues if it takes time, I was just surprised to not see it on the blog yet)
-
Zash
Is it merged? Is the build complete? Then I think at midnight.
-
Zash
If anyone has opinions on how to configure the update cronjob then I'm all ears.
-
mathieui
nah, I’m good
-
mathieui
if I understand it properly, building the website is a bit tricky and pelican is not very happy with our usage
-
Zash
Don't forget Docker
-
Zash
and Docker hub rate limits
-
Ge0rG
an angry bird.
-
Zash
IIRC it's currently set to some time in the morning, some time early in the evening and midnight
-
Zash
In which timezone ... is anyones guess.
-
Zash
Better than no automation at all and hoping someone from iteam is awake I hope.
-
mathieui
yeah, it’s not like the website is evolving fast enough to justify doing it more often
-
mathieui
I’m just comparing to my own blog deployment (with pelican too) which takes 5 seconds after the push :p
-
mathieui
(but I have neither a complex website nor a real need for isolation)
-
Zash
My own is instant, but then I push directly to production ;)
-
Zash
...and build in produciton
-
mathieui
I did that at some point so I will not judge you
-
Zash
Build on push to production, in production. WCGW
-
Zash
Nothing, that's what, it's perfect. Also my personal website, I'll survive without it.
-
Zash
Ok I think it's UTC, so +4h
-
Zash
Can poke it if anyone feels strongly that now is a better time to publish
-
emus
thanks for replying
-
wurstsalat
Link Mauve, is the code (layout+css) for https://linkmauve.fr/software/clients.html published somewhere?
-
mathieui
wurstsalat, https://git.linkmauve.fr/xmpp-doap.git probably (although I do not know how up-to-date that is)
-
wurstsalat
mathieui, that’s not including this page afaict
-
mathieui
wurstsalat, my understanding is that this goes on top of the already built website
