= Meeting Notes = | |||
== Quorum == | |||
* Present: Eddie, Matthew, Peter, Ralph, Arc | |||
* Guests: MSavoritas, Jonas, Kev, Daniel, Zash, perhaps a few others | |||
== Chair Selection == | |||
* Ralph | |||
== Editor, Processes, Tooling == | |||
Eddie: | |||
* a few folks (Jonas, Guus, Georg, etc.) created issues at the GitHub repo | |||
* see https://github.com/xsf/xeps/issues | |||
* would the XSF be willing to fund some of the work? | |||
* could we raise some funds to support the work? (e.g., via OpenCollective) | |||
* there seems to willingness to fund XMPP software projects, might be for standards as well | |||
* this is core work of the XSF | |||
* this situation could be not only a risk but an opportunity | |||
Matthew: | |||
* I have thoughts on the role in general | |||
* as to the current situation, we won't have time to modify processes etc. | |||
* need to find someone to fill in now | |||
* if we are going to put more resources in, make it less robotic and more editorial | |||
* both editing and writing specs | |||
Ralph: | |||
* clarifying question: editorial or actually writing specs? | |||
Matthew: | |||
* don't think it's necessary for someone to do both | |||
* but if we can automate more of the button-clicking, that person could have more of an editorial role | |||
* there has been initial work on tooling | |||
* I've done a few things to run scripts on PRs and such | |||
* some kind of CI framework to have a PR, run builds, etc. | |||
* still need to add glue for CI workflow | |||
* Guus submitted a PR for linting (now merged) | |||
* I understand the idea of hiring someone but it's more about how than who | |||
* I don't feel comfortable just posting to a freelance site to find someone | |||
* we need someone who understands the standards process, our community, etc. | |||
* I suspect we have lots of volunteers, who don't necessarily need money but direction | |||
Eddie: | |||
* we've had a few people offer to assist | |||
* agree that we don't necessarily need to pay people | |||
Ralph: | |||
* when people stop doing stuff, then someone will eventually step up | |||
* I don't know what the implications would be of hiring someone | |||
Kev: | |||
* if someone wants to throw money around, that's grand | |||
* but it should happen fairly | |||
* needs to be a process for choosing someone | |||
* let's also get clear on what we need for tooling | |||
* what would make life easy for | |||
MSavoritias: | |||
* I don't have a problem being someone who works on tooling | |||
* I have some time to help out with pipelines etc. | |||
* the reason I haven't done that much is that I don't have GitHub | |||
Peter: | |||
* we do have $16k in the bank and can spend if needed | |||
* if we are going to pay people, there could be implications and we'd need to investigate | |||
* I would be happy to do a bunch of the bit-flipping for now | |||
* if we look at how things like Rust does RFCs and Python does PEPs, | |||
Ralph: | |||
* we won't be able to make a decision today but let's be active in figuring this out | |||
Jonas: | |||
* there are things we can do that could be spread around a team | |||
* I'm happy to provide input beyond what is in the issues | |||
* but what's in the issues would solve a large percentage of the problems | |||
* the mechanical bits make it unpleasant | |||
* I'd be happy to assist | |||
Ralph: | |||
* what I'm looking for now is that we need to organize this effort | |||
Peter: | |||
* we have volunteers but someone needs to | |||
Matthew: | |||
* I'm happy to help with technical leadership but I don't want to do all the work | |||
* we need: (1) an acting editor (2) people to write the tooling | |||
* I think we have those | |||
Kev: | |||
* it would help to understand what exactly the process is that Jonas follows now | |||
Peter: | |||
* Jonas, I will coordinate with you about that | |||
== Confirmation of Officers == | |||
* Matthew Wild as Executive Director | |||
* Peter Saint-Andre as Treasurer | |||
* Alex Gnauck as Secretary (need to double-check via email) | |||
== Google Summer of Code == | |||
* Eddie offered to be the Org Admin | |||
== FOSDEM == | |||
* no board involvement needed right now | |||
* Ralph is working on the location for the Summit | |||
== Process Check == | |||
* Video conferencing vs. text chat | |||
* Jitsi seemed OK, maybe not use it all the time |
