| bryce | *** Board meeting in 5 min | Mar 01 09:54 |
|---|---|---|
| bryce | @ jabiertxof I've not set up certs for a web server before, but if it isn't too hard that's certainly doable for alpha. Maybe drmo can teach me next week | Mar 01 09:56 |
| bryce | hosting it on chat.inkscape.org is also an option, although as it's ansible managed it'd be wise to also ansible manage anything else added there. Also, we'd want to run this by recena. | Mar 01 09:58 |
| Tavmjong | ***************** Inkscape Board Meeting ****************** | Mar 01 10:00 |
| Tavmjong | Who's here? | Mar 01 10:00 |
| c.rogers | o/ | Mar 01 10:00 |
| crogers | \o | Mar 01 10:01 |
| doctormo | Hello | Mar 01 10:01 |
| Tavmjong | http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Board_Meetings | Mar 01 10:02 |
| Tavmjong | Mc and bryce should be around... | Mar 01 10:02 |
| bryce | hi Tavmjong | Mar 01 10:02 |
| Mc | o/ | Mar 01 10:03 |
| Tavmjong | hi bryce | Mar 01 10:03 |
| Tavmjong | tedg? | Mar 01 10:04 |
| *tedg waves | Mar 01 10:04 | |
| Tavmjong | Mc needs to leave early... Mc, any issues you want to address? | Mar 01 10:05 |
| Mc | nothing in particular I think | Mar 01 10:05 |
| Mc | the bug game prizes maybe | Mar 01 10:06 |
| Mc | since it's set out to start mid-march | Mar 01 10:06 |
| Mc | and gsoc stuff maybe | Mar 01 10:06 |
| Tavmjong | Ok, let's start with bug name prizes... | Mar 01 10:06 |
| Tavmjong | ****** Bug Game Prizes ****** | Mar 01 10:07 |
| Tavmjong | What is the issue? | Mar 01 10:07 |
| Mc | what/how much, to answer sfc issue on it | Mar 01 10:08 |
| c.rogers | No issue. We haven't decided what specifically to offer yet for top bug wrangler slots. | Mar 01 10:08 |
| Tavmjong | What were you thinking about? | Mar 01 10:08 |
| c.rogers | However, our python programmer doesn't come back until the 15th, so at that point we can finish game development. | Mar 01 10:08 |
| bryce | there will probably be some time before we'll need the top tier awards | Mar 01 10:09 |
| Mc | ah I thought it was ready | Mar 01 10:09 |
| c.rogers | I was just thinking mugs, and Inkscape polo shirts mainly. | Mar 01 10:09 |
| bryce | I think we have some flexibility in delaying decisions on that, if we wish | Mar 01 10:09 |
| c.rogers | @ Mc Nearly. We need to test it before release. | Mar 01 10:09 |
| Tavmjong | Mugs and t-shirts sounds reasonable. Would be good to give some choice. | Mar 01 10:10 |
| c.rogers | That's pretty much all that's left. I asked for instructions to test, but I think I asked too late. | Mar 01 10:10 |
| Mc | ok | Mar 01 10:10 |
| Mc | then we should be good for now | Mar 01 10:11 |
| bryce | a more immediate concern may be doublechecking the migration directions. It would be especially useful to have developer input on them, to make sure the transferred bugs are actionable | Mar 01 10:11 |
| bryce | Tavmjong, shall I run the meeting from here? | Mar 01 10:12 |
| Tavmjong | bryce Sure. | Mar 01 10:12 |
| bryce | thanks | Mar 01 10:12 |
| Tavmjong | Bradley had some concerns about prizes. We probably should set a $ amount so we can get feedback from SFC. | Mar 01 10:13 |
| bryce | I've posted the proposed agenda that I'd mailed out, to http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Board_Meetings#Agenda for easier reference | Mar 01 10:13 |
| Tavmjong | (looking at his email of 21 February) | Mar 01 10:13 |
| bryce | Tavmjong, I responded to his email and asked what the IRS limits are | Mar 01 10:13 |
| Mc | shirts and mugs are classic stuff given so it should be good | Mar 01 10:14 |
| bryce | I'm expecting it'll be something like $100 per person, and am guessing if we're aiming for $10 per person we'll be fine | Mar 01 10:14 |
| Tavmjong | $100 for top prize? | Mar 01 10:14 |
| bryce | seems reasonable | Mar 01 10:15 |
| c.rogers | Yea, I think it's more a matter of deciding what we want to give. | Mar 01 10:16 |
| bryce | it may depend a bit on how much participation we get. If it's heavy and a lot of good work is getting done, we may want to be more generous. | Mar 01 10:16 |
| Tavmjong | How $100 worth of merchadise for top prize, $50 for second, $25 for third, $10 for any one that does a certain minimum amount. | Mar 01 10:16 |
| c.rogers | I'm hoping much less than $100, but I guess we'll see. :) | Mar 01 10:16 |
| bryce | ok, shall we pencil that in for now, and revisit next meeting? | Mar 01 10:17 |
| crogers | Tavmjong, yea, that sounds about right, if that's okay. | Mar 01 10:17 |
| c.rogers | SUre. | Mar 01 10:17 |
| doctormo | sounds good to me | Mar 01 10:18 |
| bryce | I'll hold off on a vote until we get direction from sfc. If I remember I'll try to ask bradley when I see him next week | Mar 01 10:18 |
| bryce | but I expect these levels are going to be just fine | Mar 01 10:18 |
| bryce | === Infrastructure === | Mar 01 10:18 |
| bryce | we have a new Instagram channel thanks to Tim - https://www.instagram.com/inkscapeofficial/ | Mar 01 10:18 |
| c.rogers | I was just thinking shirt, mug waterbottle, for first place, mug waterbottle second place, mug third place. Though @ doctormo had the idea of printing Inkscape certificates. | Mar 01 10:18 |
| c.rogers | Which isn't a bad idea. | Mar 01 10:19 |
| bryce | he's also been doing work on getting the Facebook group to be more active, you may see there is a cover art competition under way. | Mar 01 10:19 |
| Tavmjong | c.rogers I would give people some choice. | Mar 01 10:19 |
| prkos | @c.rogers maybe suggest some specific items that come close to those amounts, since the awards will be items and not monetary | Mar 01 10:19 |
| doctormo | Certs are important for winners :-) | Mar 01 10:19 |
| bryce | I have been working on getting the mailman3 transition finalized. | Mar 01 10:20 |
| bryce | You can kick tires on a test instance at https://lists.inkscape.org/hyperkitty/ | Mar 01 10:21 |
| bryce | go ahead and register, sign up for lists, post, etc. that should all work. I'll be wiping and reinstalling that so no need to use it in earnest yet. | Mar 01 10:21 |
| bryce | there have been a lot of random glitches to work through but it seems pretty solid at this point | Mar 01 10:22 |
| prkos | no shared signin? | Mar 01 10:22 |
| Moini | Shared with what? | Mar 01 10:23 |
| bryce | the lists shown there are not final; in talking to Moini I'm going to drop all the language-specific user lists and just have a single inkscape-user. Can always add more later. | Mar 01 10:23 |
| bryce | it has openid for shared logins, but I've not tested that | Mar 01 10:23 |
| prkos | the website | Mar 01 10:23 |
| prkos | or rocket.chat | Mar 01 10:23 |
| prkos | or even GL | Mar 01 10:23 |
| bryce | it may work with shared logins for gitlab and probably launchpad | Mar 01 10:23 |
| prkos | yes OpenID, is GL a part of that? | Mar 01 10:24 |
| Moini | Yes. | Mar 01 10:24 |
| Moini | Although the last time I had an opportunity to use it, it wanted to give permissions to edit all repos I have to a chat for another software project. | Mar 01 10:25 |
| Mc | "Fake LE Intermediate X1" ? | Mar 01 10:25 |
| bryce | it would be great if someone would test that out. I can add gitlab as an openid provider. Right now it offers yahoo and fedora, which I suppose won't be as preferred as gitlab | Mar 01 10:25 |
| Moini | I declined. | Mar 01 10:25 |
| bryce | the certs here are temporary, it's a task to get official ones before rolling this live. | Mar 01 10:25 |
| prkos | I don't like going through LP, it goes to Ubuntu one then logs me in with the email I don't want to use here | Mar 01 10:26 |
| tedg | bryce: can you just use any openid provider? Or do you have to specify? | Mar 01 10:27 |
| prkos | any | Mar 01 10:27 |
| prkos | you post the link | Mar 01 10:27 |
| prkos | what is the link in GL? | Mar 01 10:27 |
| prkos | not just your profile link? | Mar 01 10:27 |
| tedg | Ah, okay. So you can use any, just easy links. | Mar 01 10:27 |
| bryce | yeah I'm also trying to reduce dependence on launchpad, so it may not be worth advertising. but I do know most of us have launchpad, so it should work. Open to advice there. | Mar 01 10:27 |
| doctormo | Is there a need to think about adding an OAuth2 service to inkscape.org? | Mar 01 10:28 |
| doctormo | There are modules to do it. | Mar 01 10:28 |
| bryce | tedg, yeah should work with any openid provider, but we can link to specific ones of our choice. That's what I'm thinking | Mar 01 10:28 |
| prkos | @ doctormo yes pls :grin: | Mar 01 10:29 |
| bryce | doctormo, would that replace the current website login/auth system? | Mar 01 10:29 |
| doctormo | @ prkos Can you make an inkscape-web bug report and we'll look into it together. | Mar 01 10:29 |
| prkos | sure | Mar 01 10:29 |
| bryce | or would it be more like an additional option? | Mar 01 10:29 |
| doctormo | @ bryce - No, it would use the current login to log you into other websites. | Mar 01 10:29 |
| bryce | ah, gotcha. that could potentially be helpful | Mar 01 10:30 |
| prkos | this is the only thing I found on GL https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/openid_connect_provider.html | Mar 01 10:30 |
| Mc | I have to go, sorry :-( | Mar 01 10:32 |
| doctormo | Good to see you Mc! | Mar 01 10:32 |
| bryce | Mc, cya! | Mar 01 10:32 |
| prkos | bai Mc! | Mar 01 10:32 |
| Mc | I'll try to be around more often, this week and last week have been a nightmare | Mar 01 10:32 |
| bryce | Mc, at some point we should discuss planning for the beta release | Mar 01 10:32 |
| Mc | yeah | Mar 01 10:32 |
| bryce | Mc, sorry :-/ hope the future gets better | Mar 01 10:33 |
| Mc | too much work^^ | Mar 01 10:33 |
| bryce | Current thing I'm working on with mailman3 is importing the old mailing list archives | Mar 01 10:33 |
| bryce | Mc, better than too little I guess ;-) | Mar 01 10:33 |
| bryce | extracting the data from SF is straightforward, but problem has been the importer, it craps out on various issues that I'm working through. Hoping to keep hammering on it next week. | Mar 01 10:34 |
| prkos | there is anApplications setting in GitLab about allowing them to use GL OpenID | Mar 01 10:34 |
| > Manage applications that can use GitLab as an OAuth provider, and applications that you've authorized to use your account. | Mar 01 10:34 | |
| prkos | https://gitlab.com/profile/applications | Mar 01 10:35 |
| prkos | it would be nice to have a single signon in the future for all the Inkscape services | Mar 01 10:35 |
| bryce | I have a few tickets related to the mailman3 transition in https://gitlab.com/inkscape/infra/services/issues if anyone wants to follow | Mar 01 10:35 |
| bryce | prkos agreed I'd like that too | Mar 01 10:36 |
| bryce | doctormo what do you think instead of integrating the OAuth2 system into the website django, if we split it off to a separate django, on a cloudscale.ch host, that can serve as a distinct service for all our web services? | Mar 01 10:37 |
| bryce | re: wiki migration, I've not started on this | Mar 01 10:38 |
| bryce | re: weblate, I think we're still waiting on recena to post his branch with the ansible work so we can start testing deployment | Mar 01 10:38 |
| bryce | anyone have other infrastructure topics? Else I'll move on to sponsorship. | Mar 01 10:39 |
| bryce | Mar 01 10:40 | |
| bryce | === Sponsorship === | Mar 01 10:40 |
| bryce | I've set up a private gitlab issue tracker for keeping data on our past, current, and prospective sponsors. All board members should have access | Mar 01 10:41 |
| bryce | I've set it up as a project under a Finance sub-team off the board team, so we can add non-board members who are interested in finance stuff | Mar 01 10:42 |
| bryce | that could include merchandise, fundraising, etc. | Mar 01 10:42 |
| bryce | we've got 2 bronze in process of renewing, and a new gold sponsor. There's another one I have been forwarded but that hasn't pledged yet so tbd | Mar 01 10:43 |
| bryce | question for the board though: | Mar 01 10:43 |
| michele | Awesome news about sponsor renewal and the tracker! | Mar 01 10:44 |
| doctormo | @ bryce I like that idea | Mar 01 10:44 |
| bryce | I've had a few of the companies at the bronze level ask if our links are no-follow or not | Mar 01 10:44 |
| doctormo | There must be existing stand alone oauth websites that one can kick up. Although website one does come with the advantage of having a few hundred thousand user accounts already created. | Mar 01 10:44 |
| bryce | thanks, I know getting more transparency on this side of things is important to the board, so trying to get stuff better organized here | Mar 01 10:44 |
| doctormo | Our links are now all no-follow | Mar 01 10:45 |
| doctormo | Thanks Maren | Mar 01 10:45 |
| bryce | doctormo true - maybe let's add this to the list of things to mull over next week? | Mar 01 10:46 |
| doctormo | Yes | Mar 01 10:47 |
| bryce | I've been telling them that the links are no-follow. The ones that have asked have not (yet) indicated they're still interested. It makes me wonder if we might want to consider allowing follow links at the higher tiers? Leave Bronze as no-follow, but add follow as a perk for Silver and higher? | Mar 01 10:48 |
| c.rogers | I've got to run in 10mins. Did anyone need me to answer anything else? | Mar 01 10:48 |
| c.rogers | Can I be dismissed? ;) | Mar 01 10:48 |
| bryce | c.rogers thanks. I wanted to ask really quick about hello tux | Mar 01 10:48 |
| bryce | I seem to remember I had a task to do, but forgot what it was | Mar 01 10:49 |
| c.rogers | Yea, they are heel-dragging a bit, let me dig up the last reply. | Mar 01 10:49 |
| bryce | c.rogers so just wanted to ask if anything's blocked on me? I had an action that I need to do a vote on something, but am not sure what that is | Mar 01 10:49 |
| tedg | bryce: My feeling is that if they're interested in the follow links, they're interested in us for SEO and not for PR. We want people who want to sponsor Inkscape, not those who want Google to rank them higher. | Mar 01 10:50 |
| bryce | c.rogers you can email later if you want, no rush. Thanks for coming, cya. | Mar 01 10:50 |
| c.rogers | , see on https://chat.inkscape.org//file-upload/zGmM8nLzyYvWHnzgY/IMG_7600.JPG (IMG_7600.JPG) | Mar 01 10:50 |
| tedg | bryce: So I think that no-follow is a good policy because companies that care about us, won't care about that. | Mar 01 10:50 |
| c.rogers | That's the sample of black on black for the black shirts. | Mar 01 10:50 |
| c.rogers | I gimped them this in response: | Mar 01 10:51 |
| c.rogers | , see on https://chat.inkscape.org//file-upload/rBafgBQujuRpuqTpW/IMG_7605.JPG (IMG_7605.JPG) | Mar 01 10:51 |
| bryce | yeah the black on black is no good; the outline looks great though | Mar 01 10:51 |
| c.rogers | oh wat, not that one. | Mar 01 10:51 |
| c.rogers | wait | Mar 01 10:51 |
| c.rogers | , see on https://chat.inkscape.org//file-upload/viGZDaS3bgtR2WkHq/IMG_7605_edited.JPG (IMG_7605_edited.JPG) | Mar 01 10:51 |
| doctormo | Nicer | Mar 01 10:51 |
| c.rogers | sorry, this was my gimed version of what I'd like to see. | Mar 01 10:52 |
| c.rogers | (GIMPED) | Mar 01 10:52 |
| bryce | wow, nice gimp work | Mar 01 10:52 |
| c.rogers | GIMPed ;P | Mar 01 10:52 |
| c.rogers | Thanks. It was a 40second job. :) | Mar 01 10:52 |
| c.rogers | (because GIMP is awesome) | Mar 01 10:53 |
| Moini | [ ](https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel?msg=5uWiEBcZj9tTm3bny) @ doctormo For explanation: I changed it for user profile texts, to prevent spammers from using our site happily. But we're now using those profile texts for the 'Sponsors' team, too. For the team plugin (pictures and links) this was set independently, and not by myself. | Mar 01 10:53 |
| Moini | So, that wasn't my doing. | Mar 01 10:53 |
| doctormo | Understood. We'll make a call on what to do. For instance in the footer, menus and other links. | Mar 01 10:53 |
| bryce | c.rogers aside from this printing issue, are there any blockers to being able to receive the payments from them? Or anything we need to vote on as a board to give them permission to move forward? | Mar 01 10:54 |
| c.rogers | @ bryce they said they could do that, but it would be sometime beginning of this month after the first week before they could do it. | Mar 01 10:54 |
| c.rogers | And I said that was fine. | Mar 01 10:54 |
| c.rogers | So I'll poke them in a week for updates if I haven't heard form them. I enticed them with a black version press release from our talented vectors group. | Mar 01 10:55 |
| c.rogers | I for one, an excited to see the black version. It's the one I'll be getting for myself. :) | Mar 01 10:56 |
| c.rogers | [Edited] I for one, am excited to see the black version. It's the one I'll be getting for myself. :) | Mar 01 10:56 |
| bryce | c.rogers ok great thanks. And again, keep me in the loop with any questions or decisions needed on financial or legal questions, I want to make sure I give those my priority attention | Mar 01 10:56 |
| bryce | Mar 01 10:57 | |
| c.rogers | they haven't asked us for money. They are a print-to-order company so. yea. :) | Mar 01 10:57 |
| c.rogers | I think they are just jazzed we're giving them airtime in our press releases. | Mar 01 10:57 |
| bryce | c.rogers I meant, I recall they were going to donate a cut back to us, so if they need to know how to get the payments to us, or need our official permission to use the logo in their merch -- those kinds of questions | Mar 01 10:58 |
| c.rogers | Ah, I think they are already hooked up to the SFC, no? | Mar 01 10:58 |
| bryce | ok great | Mar 01 10:58 |
| bryce | I wasn't certain on that | Mar 01 10:58 |
| c.rogers | Yea, should be a done deal. | Mar 01 10:59 |
| bryce | ok great, that was my one question. :-) Cya | Mar 01 10:59 |
| bryce | Tavmjong, doctormo do you have input on the no-follow links? | Mar 01 10:59 |
| c.rogers | No problem. See everyn l8r | Mar 01 11:00 |
| Tavmjong | I'm leaning towards using no-follow links. | Mar 01 11:01 |
| doctormo | I think we should use no-follow for everything, unless there's a good reason. Like we're linking to Gimp or other free software projects. | Mar 01 11:02 |
| bryce | alright, thanks. I'll continue telling sponsors that ask, that the links are all no-follow | Mar 01 11:02 |
| bryce | Mar 01 11:03 | |
| tedg | Oh no! bryce lost his voice! | Mar 01 11:04 |
| tedg | 😉 | Mar 01 11:04 |
| bryce | hah, probably would help the noise level ;-) | Mar 01 11:04 |
| bryce | I mentioned setting up a Finance sub-team under the board, I'd previously set up a private Legal team as well, with SFC lawyers as members | Mar 01 11:06 |
| doctormo | @ bryce Love the group proliferation that we didn't want to do at first :-D | Mar 01 11:07 |
| bryce | that team is where discussions relating to trademarks, etc. can be gathered. If there are any future issues we can track them there. | Mar 01 11:07 |
| bryce | doctormo sorry, and in fact that's what I want to raise in case anyone has concerns or reservations with any of this, before it gets too far along | Mar 01 11:08 |
| bryce | I think these two teams make sense from the perspective that the info needs to be kept confidential but we need a place to keep track of it | Mar 01 11:09 |
| michele | It makes sense to have spaces where specific, high-level or confidential discussions need to take place. It's smart and essential to all teams. | Mar 01 11:09 |
| bryce | The one other team I'm thinking of maybe adding under the board would be an Accounting team, for anything relating to travel, reimbursements, etc. | Mar 01 11:09 |
| bryce | I'm not certain if it's going to be needed, so haven't set it up yet | Mar 01 11:10 |
| michele | Might this speed up the process and enable anyone with questions to field them to a team vs. you having to continuously answer them all? 8-) | Mar 01 11:11 |
| bryce | mostly it is handled on the SFC side so I don't think there's much we need to track on our end and can handle what comes up ad hoc. But I'll be keeping an eye on things after Pasadena and if it looks like it would be beneficial. Meanwhile, opinions welcome | Mar 01 11:11 |
| bryce | michele yes -- and that's a huge part of the motivation for setting up these teams, to move me a bit more out of the role of single point for all these things | Mar 01 11:11 |
| bryce | at least to get the structure in place so others can step in and take over if I can't. | Mar 01 11:12 |
| bryce | Mar 01 11:13 | |
| bryce | last thing on sponsorship... we've talked about doing some outreach activities to solicit new sponsors. | Mar 01 11:14 |
| bryce | tedg pointed out that a first step there is having a plan on what we would use more money for. This will be a topic for the hackfest, but I'm hoping we can come up with some good plans. | Mar 01 11:15 |
| bryce | as part of that, if we do proceed, I'd like to work on establishing a funding team, sort of parallel to the Vectors team, that would work on fundraisers, sponsorship management, etc. | Mar 01 11:15 |
| bryce | Mar 01 11:16 | |
| bryce | == Hackfest (SCALE / Pasadena) == | Mar 01 11:16 |
| tedg | Looks like it might rain :-( https://www.weather.gov/lox/ | Mar 01 11:16 |
| Tavmjong | In LA? Oh no! | Mar 01 11:16 |
| tedg | I know, it'll confuse the locals. | Mar 01 11:17 |
| bryce | oh those can be intense | Mar 01 11:17 |
| tedg | Other than that the only real issue is that I haven't gotten any contact from faculty about doing things with students. | Mar 01 11:17 |
| doctormo | Should I bring an umbrella and a bowler hat? | Mar 01 11:17 |
| tedg | Which is fine, but the people we're going through is the workplace development, and so they'd like to show that the events they sponsor help students. | Mar 01 11:17 |
| Tavmjong | Do we have an exact address? | Mar 01 11:18 |
| tedg | I'm going to send out a "come Tuesday from 2-5" to be more specific... to try an solicit some response from the faculty. | Mar 01 11:18 |
| tedg | But, it may not happen. | Mar 01 11:18 |
| tedg | Don't think that harms the hackfest as much as we'd not be helping our local sponsors. | Mar 01 11:19 |
| bryce | where should we show up Monday morning? Are we shooting for 9 or 10? | Mar 01 11:19 |
| tedg | Tavmjong: I updated the wiki with a bunch of info: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_SCALE#Venue | Mar 01 11:19 |
| michele | Perhaps offering something more concrete would enable the teachers or staff to share the opportunity? Happy to brainstorm offline or tomorrow at Vectors Meeting about this! | Mar 01 11:19 |
| Tavmjong | tedg, Great! | Mar 01 11:19 |
| bryce | looks like most of us are at the howard johnson maybe we can meet for breakfast? | Mar 01 11:19 |
| tedg | Sure, that makes sense to me. | Mar 01 11:19 |
| tedg | HJ breakfast at 8? | Mar 01 11:20 |
| bryce | tedg, ah perfect thanks for adding that info | Mar 01 11:20 |
| bryce | sure 8 works | Mar 01 11:20 |
| Tavmjong | Sounds good to me. | Mar 01 11:20 |
| tedg | I'll be on Central Time, so I'll be early :-) | Mar 01 11:20 |
| doctormo | That would be good. | Mar 01 11:20 |
| doctormo | bryce did you get a telling off from Bradley about flying into BUR too? | Mar 01 11:21 |
| Tavmjong | What's the problem with BUR? | Mar 01 11:22 |
| bryce | doctormo no I didn't, although I haven't sent him my travel iten. What is the issue? | Mar 01 11:22 |
| doctormo | More expensive, so he's updating the travel policy for SFC to cope with it. | Mar 01 11:22 |
| doctormo | I broke the SFC travel policy basically. | Mar 01 11:22 |
| bryce | huh | Mar 01 11:22 |
| bryce | doctormo can you forward me the emails? | Mar 01 11:23 |
| doctormo | I made a graph to understand the problem., see on https://chat.inkscape.org//file-upload/dES4Fkv2n3Zs2d22w/average_cost.svg (average_cost.svg) | Mar 01 11:23 |
| doctormo | Sure it's the ticket on their end, but I'll forward it. | Mar 01 11:24 |
| bryce | when I lived in Pasadena BUR was so much more convenient for travel to/from Portland | Mar 01 11:24 |
| doctormo | That's what I said, except without the when I lived in... | Mar 01 11:25 |
| Tavmjong | I need to go soon... | Mar 01 11:25 |
| doctormo | PNG version, see on https://chat.inkscape.org//file-upload/PkhXnRDQQBPMP7E3y/average_cost.svg.png (average_cost.svg.png) | Mar 01 11:25 |
| tedg | So I don't have anything else for the hackfest. | Mar 01 11:26 |
| tedg | See you Monday Tavmjong ! | Mar 01 11:26 |
| bryce | Tavmjong, ok would you prefer next agenda item to be GSoC or the Europe hackfest? | Mar 01 11:26 |
| Tavmjong | Either one... | Mar 01 11:27 |
| bryce | yes looking forward to catching up Tav | Mar 01 11:27 |
| bryce | === GSoC === | Mar 01 11:27 |
| bryce | Josh got us signed up for GSoC and looks like students are getting involved | Mar 01 11:27 |
| bryce | how are we on mentors and projects? | Mar 01 11:27 |
| bryce | Tavmjong, are you going to mentor this year? | Mar 01 11:28 |
| Tavmjong | We haven't started recruiting mentors specifically. We do have a list of projects (with suggested mentors). | Mar 01 11:28 |
| Tavmjong | I will mentor. | Mar 01 11:28 |
| Tavmjong | http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code | Mar 01 11:29 |
| bryce | great, thanks | Mar 01 11:29 |
| bryce | anyone else have anything more regarding GSoC? | Mar 01 11:30 |
| doctormo | There's a Tav bias in those GSoC projects. All will be mentored by Tav :-P | Mar 01 11:30 |
| michele | Can we aim to profile some of the students and their projects on the web site and through social media? | Mar 01 11:30 |
| prkos | anything vectors can help with for GSoC? | Mar 01 11:30 |
| Tavmjong | We've had students keep a blog one year. It worked out well. We should to that again. | Mar 01 11:31 |
| michele | Perhaps also dig into their experience in an effort to see how we can improve their process and enable them to have a voice in helping us shape the project. | Mar 01 11:31 |
| michele | Awesome, about the blog!! | Mar 01 11:31 |
| bryce | a news item couldn't hurt, we've done that in the past and maybe something could be repurposed from past years? | Mar 01 11:31 |
| Moini | Aren't they supposed to do that anyway, by GSOC rules? | Mar 01 11:31 |
| doctormo | @ Tav Can you add me as a potential mentor for the CSS work? | Mar 01 11:31 |
| Tavmjong | Getting the word out to prospective applicants would be good. | Mar 01 11:32 |
| vanntile | [ ](https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel?msg=fYMDcZJZkvYPtrEeW) @rocket.cat I would definitely blog for the time. Do you suggest a specific platform? | Mar 01 11:32 |
| Tavmjong | doctormo Yes, or you can add yourself. | Mar 01 11:32 |
| Moini | Our website news? | Mar 01 11:32 |
| bryce | @Moini yeah | Mar 01 11:32 |
| prkos | does website work fall under GSoC? | Mar 01 11:33 |
| doctormo | Done | Mar 01 11:33 |
| bryce | prkos yes if there is a mentor | Mar 01 11:33 |
| prkos | I'm just checking the dates now | Mar 01 11:33 |
| bryce | also, needs to be programming work rather than content, and projects should be appropriate for students | Mar 01 11:33 |
| doctormo | They tend not allow arts students into the program I think. | Mar 01 11:34 |
| michele | I'd be happy to help mentor in some way through Vectors - writing, social media, communication skills. | Mar 01 11:34 |
| prkos | I can do most work in the summer, I can mentor CSS, for the website 1.0 revamp | Mar 01 11:34 |
| Moini | @ michele Do you have time for the article? I saw you 'emoted' on it :) | Mar 01 11:34 |
| doctormo | The GSoC is very specifically designed towards computer science students (I'm fairly certain) | Mar 01 11:35 |
| michele | Yes, I'll make time this weekend to finalize a promo article -- it's an issue. | Mar 01 11:35 |
| vanntile | [ ](https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel?msg=MmGszfADg58xFTpRH) @ doctormo isn't the decision ultimately yours? | Mar 01 11:35 |
| vanntile | I mean Inkscape's | Mar 01 11:35 |
| Moini | @ michele Great, thank you! | Mar 01 11:35 |
| bryce | also keep in mind with 1.0 in June, that means their work should be targeted to post-1.0. And from a QA / stability point of view probably makes sense to keep any student authored work in branches and not land in master until the release is done | Mar 01 11:35 |
| Tavmjong | You don't need to be a computer science student to participate but it si about coding. | Mar 01 11:35 |
| michele | It's important to have a broad idea of students who can learn to code!! | Mar 01 11:36 |
| prkos | anyone think we might have the website revamp ready for 1.0 release? | Mar 01 11:36 |
| bryce | also, we don't know how many slots we will get. Past years have been small for us, so I expect 1-2 slots, maybe 3 | Mar 01 11:36 |
| bryce | ok moving on | Mar 01 11:38 |
| prkos | how big are those projects? | Mar 01 11:38 |
| prkos | I see they go over months, but how many hours really? | Mar 01 11:38 |
| bryce | prkos full time for about 3 months, but junior level developer | Mar 01 11:38 |
| Tavmjong | The students are suppose to be working full time on their project. | Mar 01 11:38 |
| bryce | prkos you can see past projects listed on the bottom of http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code | Mar 01 11:38 |
| prkos | maybe it could be smaller like just Sponsors page, or Teams pages etc | Mar 01 11:39 |
| prkos | ok well you can use me as CSS mentor if it turns out useful | Mar 01 11:39 |
| bryce | alright, last topic | Mar 01 11:39 |
| bryce | === Hackfest (Germany) === | Mar 01 11:40 |
| prkos | [Edited] ok well you can use me as CSS mentor if it turns out it's something it's needed | Mar 01 11:40 |
| Tavmjong | We have a venue. The question is two or three days before LGM? The last LGM actually didn't begin until the evening of the first day but they may be changing that. | Mar 01 11:41 |
| Moini | houz , do you maybe know more about that yet? | Mar 01 11:41 |
| Tavmjong | LGM is five days. So three + five may be a bit long. | Mar 01 11:41 |
| bryce | yeah that is a long time. Maybe 2 days then? Folks can still get together during the event if there are dead periods | Mar 01 11:43 |
| Tavmjong | That sounds good to me. | Mar 01 11:43 |
| prkos | can we decide once they publish the schedule? | Mar 01 11:44 |
| bryce | well, I need to do the board vote to approve the funding | Mar 01 11:45 |
| Tavmjong | Is there anyone who favors a three day hackfest? | Mar 01 11:45 |
| prkos | I guess not lol | Mar 01 11:46 |
| bryce | can someone flesh out http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken? The venue and hotel should be filled in at least | Mar 01 11:46 |
| bryce | we also need a rough estimate of # people | Mar 01 11:46 |
| prkos | sunday/monday | Mar 01 11:46 |
| prkos | 3days/2days prior | Mar 01 11:47 |
| bryce | there's 5 listed as likely on the attendees page but a bunch under invites. Guessing it'll end up being 10-15 like usual? | Mar 01 11:47 |
| Moini | bryce : We didn't invite anyone yet, as we don't know the dates. | Mar 01 11:47 |
| Moini | Is that decided now? | Mar 01 11:48 |
| bryce | ah | Mar 01 11:48 |
| bryce | ok, so let's set the dates now so those can go forward | Mar 01 11:48 |
| Moini | houz would need to fill in the venue part. | Mar 01 11:48 |
| Moini | And I'd like to have confirmation from him first, tbh. | Mar 01 11:48 |
| bryce | alright | Mar 01 11:49 |
| Moini | Before inviting people. | Mar 01 11:49 |
| bryce | makes sense. I just worry we need to make sure we're giving plenty of time for travel arrangements | Mar 01 11:49 |
| Moini | So, should I contact him and ask him to pin down the reservation for the room? | Mar 01 11:49 |
| bryce | @Moini yes | Mar 01 11:50 |
| Moini | For May 27th and 28th (LGM starts on 29th) | Mar 01 11:50 |
| Moini | Okay. | Mar 01 11:50 |
| bryce | action: Referendum on Hackfest2019 Saarbrücken [bryce] | Mar 01 11:52 |
| Tavmjong | The venue will be the same as for LGM. The only issue was to insure we had wifi. | Mar 01 11:52 |
| Tavmjong | I need to go... looking forward to seeing some of you Monday! | Mar 01 11:54 |
| bryce | Tavmjong, do you have advice for me on what funding options to include in the referendum? I've generally given options for flat amount, ranked based on contributions (like we used to do), or unlimited (up to SFC rules) | Mar 01 11:54 |
| bryce | Mar 01 11:55 | |
| bryce | == Other Business == | Mar 01 11:55 |
| bryce | Anyone else have items to discuss? | Mar 01 11:55 |
| prkos | gsoc website css? | Mar 01 11:56 |
| prkos | have we ever had gsoc other than app? | Mar 01 11:56 |
| Moini | There was some question about the cameras we won. | Mar 01 11:57 |
| Moini | https://gitlab.com/inkscape-board/legal/branding/issues/4 | Mar 01 11:58 |
| Moini | Specifically, Q1. | Mar 01 11:59 |
| Moini | Options given in https://gitlab.com/inkscape-board/legal/branding/issues/4#note_139944901 | Mar 01 11:59 |
| Moini | (sorry, only board members have access to that issue. I'll paste. | Mar 01 11:59 |
| Moini | What should we do with the two webcams we won? | Mar 01 12:01 |
| (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/hd-pro-webcam-c920) | Mar 01 12:01 | |
| - use them for hackfests (keep 1 in Europe / 1 in US) | Mar 01 12:01 | |
| - create a hackfests event box (both) | Mar 01 12:01 | |
| - use them to facilitate Vectors communication | Mar 01 12:01 | |
| - use them to facilitate Inkscope podcast creation | Mar 01 12:01 | |
| Moini | (Bryce said "As far as Q1, I think we just need to raise the issue with the board, which has an established process for deciding financial matters. ") | Mar 01 12:01 |
| bryce | yeah I've put some thoughts on that ticket, but others should chime in | Mar 01 12:02 |
| bryce | any idea how much the cameras are worth? | Mar 01 12:03 |
| Moini | Email to houz sent. | Mar 01 12:03 |
| Moini | I guess everyone's gone already... | Mar 01 12:04 |
| bryce | amazon lists it for $70 | Mar 01 12:04 |
| michele | My vote would go to hackfests or to those who are doing the Inkscope podcast. | Mar 01 12:05 |
| tedg | I'm not against an event box, but we'd have to figure out things like storage if we went down that route. Physical objects kinda suck for tracking sometimes. | Mar 01 12:05 |
| michele | If I had a vote... | Mar 01 12:05 |
| tedg | I think perhaps a contest or a prize might be best. What if we had a "best video tutorial" contest? | Mar 01 12:06 |
| Moini | tedg, I agree. I wouldn't mind if people used them day-to-day, too. They can bring them to Hackfests, and use them for the podcast. | Mar 01 12:06 |
| Moini | Or that's good, too. | Mar 01 12:06 |
| michele | Good idea, Tedg! | Mar 01 12:06 |
| Moini | As long as I only have to send the things out to the winners... | Mar 01 12:07 |
| tedg | Hehe, we expect a tutorial from everyone! 😉 | Mar 01 12:07 |
| tedg | So I guess if we need a vote I'd vote to give them to Vectors to use in promotion of the project in some way. | Mar 01 12:08 |
| tedg | What ever way vectors think is best. | Mar 01 12:08 |
| Moini | Great. I'd love to get rid of the package here :) | Mar 01 12:08 |
| bryce | hah | Mar 01 12:08 |
| Moini | Better to have them put to use than collecting dust. | Mar 01 12:09 |
| tedg | +1, use them! | Mar 01 12:09 |
| Moini | Does this need a vote or something? | Mar 01 12:09 |
| bryce | would we want to gift them to individual vector team members, make them co-owned by vectors generally, or ...? | Mar 01 12:10 |
| tedg | I was thinking "Let Vectors choose" | Mar 01 12:11 |
| tedg | If they want to make them for the podcast or a contest or whatever. | Mar 01 12:11 |
| Moini | Or both :) | Mar 01 12:11 |
| bryce | tedg, and you agree we should run this by the board for a vote? | Mar 01 12:12 |
| Moini | (If you vote, please also vote to tell me what I should do with that Kopano license) | Mar 01 12:12 |
| tedg | bryce: I don't care either way, but we don't have an official yes/no on whether we should. | Mar 01 12:12 |
| bryce | I suppose we'll need to if there's shipping involved | Mar 01 12:12 |
| bryce | better safe than sorry I guess | Mar 01 12:13 |
| bryce | action: Referendum for transfer of webcams to Vectors team [bryce] | Mar 01 12:13 |
| Moini | At Saarbrücken, I can hand stuff to people, if they're there. | Mar 01 12:13 |
| Moini | Was planning to give Martin (if he attends) the trophy (if he can transport it), so it's going to get closer to our 'headquarters'. | Mar 01 12:14 |
| bryce | I have no idea what to do with that license. I'm happy to do a board vote on the transfer if there are ideas. | Mar 01 12:14 |
| Moini | All that comes to my mind is to use it as a prize. One I wouldn't want to win, though... | Mar 01 12:15 |
| tedg | Wonder if SFC has a trophy cabinet | Mar 01 12:15 |
| bryce | hah | Mar 01 12:15 |
| bryce | bug triage prize? | Mar 01 12:16 |
| Moini | For example. | Mar 01 12:16 |
| tedg | Perhaps a traveling trophy. We can put bands on the bottom like the Stanley Cup 😉 | Mar 01 12:16 |
| bryce | or, you could post on inkscape-devel@ and ask if anyone wants it, and if more than one person does we can figure it out from there. If no one wants it then we can put it next to the trophy. | Mar 01 12:18 |
| bryce | ok, time to wrap up the meeting I think | Mar 01 12:18 |
| bryce | thanks all | Mar 01 12:18 |
| bryce | == End of Meeting == | Mar 01 12:18 |
