I've always just looked at the webpage +08:02 <+egbert> marcoz: yeah, today. first day back to work. +08:02 <+egbert> lot to catch up. +08:03 <+egbert> i don't think there is an ml. +08:04 <+egbert> i approved applications until i left for fosdem. +08:04 < whot> mupuf_: ping +08:04 < mupuf_> hey. sorry, i'm on my phone so i'll ttpe slowly But I'l fully available +08:04 <+egbert> the ones of people i knew were members before. +08:04 < keithp> egbert: sorry to have missed you at fosdem! The weekend was crazy... +08:04 <+alanc> egbert: apparently there's something mailing anholt +08:04 <+egbert> keithp: were you there? +08:04 < keithp> egbert: indeed +08:05 <+egbert> keithp: i told everybody you weren't. as you told me so on xdc. +08:06 <+egbert> keithp: maybe this was the best sulution anyhow - since you were busy with other things ;p +08:06 < keithp> I've got boxes of chocolate from mary's that prove I was there +08:06 <+egbert> hehe. i got piles of boxes as well. +08:06 < whot> ok, agenda for today is: election, spi faq, opw status, xdc +08:06 <+egbert> the one from last year lasted me until shortly before this event. +08:07 <+anholt> by "mailing list" I apparently mean "my address in the php." I've fixed that now. alanc, you win email. +08:07 <+egbert> whot: may i add something? +08:07 < whot> egbert: sure +08:07 <+alanc> heh, um, thanks I guess +08:07 <+egbert> the x.org domain registration. i talked to mherrb on fosdem. he got a folunteer to look int this. +08:08 < whot> opw status is easiest (aside from now being called outreachy): mid-term status was last week, christian is happy with Asal's process so she gets the payment. couple of larger than expected hurdles but there's a steady stream of patches in her repo (not on the list yet though :(. I browsed through a few and they need cleaning up, otherwise it looks ok +08:08 < whot> egbert: do we know who the volunteer is? +08:08 <+egbert> :) +08:08 <+egbert> marc balmer +08:09 <+egbert> most here may know him +08:09 <+alanc> it looks like we've renewed it through next january, but the contact is still leon +08:09 <+egbert> he was on xdc in toulouse. +08:09 < mupuf_> yeah +08:10 <+alanc> should find out if SPI handles domain names too +08:10 < keithp> oh, a fine question. I think they can be an official owner as needed +08:11 <+alanc> looks like they might - the whois contact for debian.org is "SPI Hostmaster" +08:11 < whot> technically an asset, right? +08:11 <+alanc> I think so +08:11 <+egbert> in any case, we (or someone else) needs to get in touch with leon. +08:12 <+alanc> once we finish the election we should be able to ask him to transfer directly to SPI, instead of having him give to us now and then to them later +08:13 <+egbert> alanc: yes. +08:13 < mupuf_> right +08:13 <+egbert> also we need access to the account at network solutions. +08:14 <+egbert> i remember that when we did things 10y ago it was a bit tricky due to the special domain name we have. +08:14 < whot> ok, so short story: who's going to contact leon? +08:14 <+egbert> i can do this. +08:15 <+egbert> as he knows me. +08:15 < mupuf_> yeah, please do. +08:15 <+egbert> last time i met him was 2y ago. +08:15 <+egbert> linuxtag berlin. this won't happen any more though. +08:15 < mupuf_> to me, leon is the name of a restaurant in Brusseks +08:16 <+alanc> I think it's been 5 or 6 years since I last saw him +08:16 <+alanc> Leon Shiman was the first X.Org Foundation secretary if I recall correctly +08:16 <+egbert> alanc: yes. +08:16 < mupuf_> oh, wow +08:16 <+alanc> also the lead of the aborted MAS audio project for the previous X.Org consortium +08:16 < mupuf_> thanks alan +08:17 < whot> egbert: sold, you got the job :) +08:17 < whot> anything else on the domain name? +08:17 <+egbert> what shall i tell marc? +08:18 < whot> sync with him, tell him you 'll get the account info from Leon. then figure out what he wants to look into :) +08:18 <+alanc> what was it he was volunteering to do? +08:18 <+egbert> ah, one related thing: it seems that CACert uses one of the registered addresses to verify the ownership for a certificate. +08:18 <+egbert> so i don't know how the certificate got done last time. +08:19 <+egbert> alanc: to deal with the renewal of the registration. +08:19 <+alanc> I think keithp, tollef, & jrayhawk made the certs happen last time +08:19 < whot> egbert: "registered addresses"?? +08:19 < keithp> it was tollef +08:19 < mupuf_> what is the registered zddress? +08:19 <+egbert> the ones you get from whois. +08:20 <+egbert> email address. +08:20 < mupuf_> are you asking me to run whois on my phobe? :D +08:20 <+egbert> no, it is leon's email address if that's what you were asking. +08:21 < whot> egbert: well, you can ask mark to figure out what is needed anyway, makes your life easier when you have the account data. especially if the single-letter name is tricky +08:21 <+egbert> whot: ok. but i can also call there myself. unless one of the us people (and native speakers want to beat me for it) ;p +08:23 < whot> egbert: tbh, better to keep one task in one person's hand +08:23 <+egbert> whot: ;p +08:24 < whot> if marc has the time to figure it out, that's one thing. but splitting it across three ppl won't make it go faster, given the ample spare time we all have +08:24 < whot> ok, so domain business done for now? +08:24 <+egbert> yes +08:25 < whot> ok, thanks. next thing: SPI FAQ, I sent out the draft an hour-ish ago, will send it to members@ tonight +08:25 < whot> speak up now or be forever quiet something something +08:25 < agd5f> whot, looks good to me +08:25 <+egbert> whot: ok, so you have been working on that. thanks. +08:25 <+egbert> i was going to look into this but first was fosdem then i got sick. +08:26 <+egbert> i haven't had a chance to look yet. +08:26 <+alanc> looked good to me +08:26 < whot> egbert: have a look at the draft, feel free to add anything, you still have ~6h :) +08:26 <+egbert> but i hope to find some time to help out on stuff tomorrow. +08:26 < whot> if something is missing and comes up in the discussion we can always add to it later anyway +08:26 <+egbert> whot i won't be able to do it in the next 6h. +08:26 < whot> egbert: well, the alternative is that you take the email and send it out yourself tomorrow +08:27 <+egbert> but i'm sure we can add things or amend things later ;p +08:27 <+egbert> don't you want to put the faq on a wiki? +08:28 < whot> yeah, but I expect there'll be a few questions immediately and I'd rather not go and sync threads and the wiki but rather copy it once when things have calmed down +08:28 <+egbert> whot: i was actually going to do that if necessary. +08:29 <+egbert> now, since fosdem is over it should be possible - unless i get sick again. +08:29 < whot> egbert: yeah, we can do that later, right now it's mostly: should I send the email out today or you want to send it tomorrow? +08:29 < whot> (sorry, trying to move this all along, ETIME) +08:29 <+egbert> i can do this tomorrow if you want. +08:30 <+egbert> same distribution list as the election announcement or just members@? +08:30 < mupuf_> read it again. it's fine by me +08:30 < whot> good question, I'd say members@ +08:30 <+egbert> not everybody may have reregistered yet. +08:30 < whot> we had 80 members before IIRC and 55 now, that's pretty close I think +08:30 <+egbert> yup. +08:32 <+egbert> ok, let's go on. +08:33 < whot> last item on the agenda: XDC venue. I sent out the summary last week, then realised the crickets voted, so we'll just do it now +08:34 < whot> not sure what the appropriate vote is here, but I think everyone stating their preference should do? +08:34 < whot> unless you have justifyable veto reasons (which you should've put in email by last week ;) +08:35 < keithp> seems reasonable +08:35 < whot> so everybody, speak up for Toronto or Boston please +08:35 < keithp> I'd prefer boston; I think the proximity of town to the venue is important +08:35 < agd5f> Toronto +08:37 < marcoz> Toronto (but just barely) +08:38 <+alanc> Toronto +08:39 < whot> Boston +08:40 <+egbert> Boston +08:40 < mupuf_> Toronto. let amd organise one xdc :) +08:40 <+egbert> barely, but i agree with keithp +08:41 <+alanc> stukreit is off skiiing somewhere +08:41 < keithp> (frankly, it's awesome that we have two bids to pick from) +08:41 < mupuf_> and i'm sure we'll manage to have fun +08:41 < whot> right, so we have 4:3 for Toronto +08:41 < keithp> sounds good. +08:42 < marcoz> sounds aboot right, eh? +08:42 < whot> stukreit's absense saves us from a potential hanging vote, we should make use of that :) +08:42 < keithp> marcoz: :-) +08:42 < whot> i.e. XDC 2015 will be Toronto, eh? +08:42 < keithp> whot: we'll get you to westford somehow +08:42 < keithp> you betcha +08:43 < whot> keithp: yeah, because westfort is the place to be... +08:43 < whot> westford +08:43 < mupuf_> yep, tstellar will be happy +08:43 < whot> anyway, that's done, thanks for voting. last item: election. egbert? +08:43 <+alanc> maybe for XDC 2017 the Red Hat boston office can find a venue out in Wayland, Mass. so the rest of us can see it +08:44 < keithp> alanc: I'd skip that event. Been there, not going back. +08:44 < mupuf_> ah ah! good one alanc +08:44 <+egbert> like i said, i was getting behind a bit. i also need to look into our voting system how easy or hard it is to add the spi vote there. +08:44 <+alanc> I'll have to take your word for it, never been +08:45 <+alanc> I don't remember it being that hard to add a Yes/No item to the ballot +08:45 <+alanc> something like 5 minutes of setup in the app +08:46 <+egbert> alanc: did we ever have this before? +08:46 <+alanc> yes, for voting on approving the bylaws +08:46 <+egbert> right. +08:46 <+egbert> ok, i should be able to figure that out. +08:46 <+egbert> otherwise we just do 0 for no and > 0 for yes ;p +08:47 <+egbert> at least developers should be familiar with this concept ;p +08:48 <+egbert> ah, no. we also have to let people abstain. +08:50 < whot> ok, anything else election-related? +08:50 < whot> did we have any nominees yet? +08:51 < mupuf_> thanks a lot egbert for all tour work! +08:51 < mupuf_> i'll run again this year. +08:51 <+egbert> mupuf_: thanks! +08:51 <+egbert> whot: not from my side. +08:51 <+egbert> if there is i'll yell on the ml. +08:52 <+alanc> did anyone send out a call for nominations yet? I didn't see one +08:53 <+egbert> i haven't either. +08:53 < whot> ok, hand's up, who wants to copy/paste and mail the call for nominations? +08:54 < mupuf_> have to go guys. it's high-time i go to sleep! See you! +08:54 <+alanc> I think Carl's template is what we've been using each year - should be in the wiki or the mailing list archives +08:54 * mupuf_ has problems reading at this point +08:54 < whot> we should volunteer mupuf_ then +08:55 < mupuf_> hey hey. i can do that +08:55 < whot> we have a winner! +08:56 < whot> mupuf_: ok, you can go to sleep now. the minutes will tell you what you have to do ;) +08:56 < mupuf_> added it to my agenda for tomorrow +08:56 < mupuf_> thanks! +08:56 < whot> egbert: do you have a todo list for election-related things anywhere? so we can reduce the bus factor (or flu factor) +08:56 -!- mupuf_ [~sailfish@83-245-233-113-nat-p.elisa-mobile.fi] has quit [Quit: IRC for Sailfish 0.8] +08:57 <+egbert> whot: i will circulate my todo tomorrow. +08:59 < whot> thx +08:59 < whot> ok, we're almost out of time, anything else missing? +08:59 <+egbert> not from my side. +09:00 <+alanc> nothing here +09:01 <+egbert> ok, good night, then :) +09:01 < whot> oh, bylaws. Martin sent out a request for bylaw reviews, can you all please look through it and ack/nack the current state +09:02 < whot> let's say by next Friday, so we can send out the pdf to the members list +09:02 < whot> that's your homework for next week :) +09:02 < whot> and with that, thanks for attending, see you in two weeks +"""]] |
