| doctormo | Hello everyone. Firstly for today's meeting, I pass on ted's apologies for his absence. I hope he's having a great time with the kids. | 17:00 |
| doctormo | ping: @Tav, @Mc @c.rogers @ScislaC @pono @karen | 17:02 |
| c.rogers | Thanks for the ping. Present! | 17:05 |
| c.rogers | I think Karen os on holiday. | 17:06 |
| doctormo | Hi Chris. | 17:06 |
| Mc | Hi! | 17:07 |
| c.rogers | Hello. :) | 17:07 |
| scislac[m] | Sorry, not really here... I mentioned I'd miss last meeting. :) Out of town for a wedding. | 17:07 |
| doctormo | Ah, with extra supplemental apologies from scislac. :thumbsup: | 17:08 |
| Mc | I apologize for being a bit late, but I'm staying :D | 17:08 |
| doctormo | Awesome :-D welcome Marc | 17:08 |
| Mc | are you chairing, Martin ? | 17:09 |
| doctormo | Ah yes, I'll be chairing in ted's stead. | 17:09 |
| Mc | great | 17:09 |
| doctormo | OK let's get started at 10 past the hour. Welcome everyone. | 17:10 |
| doctormo | Ted's passed on the financial update, which is $11.25 in donations, and $2000 in video creation expenses. This is likely incorrect as our donations haven't been calculated for this month. | 17:11 |
| doctormo | Anyone have anything to add about our financials this month? | 17:12 |
| pono | Morning all, sorry I'm late. We've been a bit behind with PayPal imports, so there are ~2 months of donations that haven't been accounted for | 17:12 |
| doctormo | Welcome pono! Do you have any estimate on what we might be looking at or is it all blackbox until the scripts are run? | 17:13 |
| pono | We're also continuing the work investigating other donation platforms. Unfortunately we hit a roadblock and are needing to reconsider our approach there. But hopefully we'll make some progress over the summer. Looking at the past months would be my first order attempt, but I don't have much insight into the variation there :) | 17:13 |
| doctormo | Good to hear, we're in no rush on that front, we're focuses on spending rather than earning at the moment ;-) | 17:14 |
| doctormo | We're expecting a bump from the release, previous months might not be a true guide. But it's ok, we can be patient. | 17:14 |
| pono | Oooh yeah, hopefully a bump from the release! | 17:15 |
| doctormo | @Mc since tav isn't here, do you want to report for GSoC, I think it's all pretty much on track right? | 17:15 |
| Mc | yup, all's good afaict | 17:16 |
| c.rogers | If there isn't a substantial bump, we could work in more of a call to action in the next release video. Ask and ye shall receive. Haha. | 17:16 |
| doctormo | Have you changed your policy on asking Chris? I know vectors and @ryangorley didn't want to do big asking while we weren't spending. Are we turning a corner? | 17:17 |
| c.rogers | Asking what? | 17:18 |
| doctormo | Asking for people to donate | 17:18 |
| c.rogers | Well it's not the main focus of the end of the video at the moment. | 17:18 |
| c.rogers | But maybe it should be. | 17:19 |
| doctormo | OK well, let's move on to the developer update. Mc, how are we doing in the developer team? | 17:19 |
| prkos | I don't know if this clashes with Vectors official standing but I don't think we should ever stop asking, and we should be spending too, wisely | 17:19 |
| prkos | or plan to spend, same thing | 17:19 |
| c.rogers | The Vectors are still getting used to the idea of paying for things. | 17:20 |
| c.rogers | Hopefully this video was a good starting point. | 17:20 |
| Mc | well, things are progressing I think - feedback for 1.2 is mostly positive, with some minor complaints of removed features | 17:21 |
| c.rogers | Trickling in bug reports from the Facebook community. | 17:22 |
| doctormo | Thanks Marc, @c.rogers I think ryan isn't here yet, do you know anything about vectors plans and tomorrows meeting? | 17:22 |
| c.rogers | Only what's already listed on the agenda. | 17:22 |
| c.rogers | I'll try to attend because I think they want to talk about the release video. | 17:23 |
| Mc | I've been mostly away from the release since I received 1500 pages of high-level math exams to grade fast two days after the release | 17:23 |
| doctormo | Mc: Yikes, that's a lot of exam. | 17:23 |
| c.rogers | Thanks for coming back, Mc! Haha | 17:23 |
| doctormo | @c.rogers Good idea, keep us updated on what vectors might want for future outreach projects. | 17:24 |
| c.rogers | Will do. | 17:24 |
| doctormo | With karen and ted being away it's impossible to talk about the FSA, so we'll have to defer this item. | 17:24 |
| doctormo | pono / @prkos how are we doing with the job posting project? | 17:25 |
| Mc | now I only have two weeks of full-time stuff to do and my Inkscape time should increase dramatically | 17:25 |
| pono | i think the list of questions has been finalized, but i need to get caught up on the email thread | 17:26 |
| doctormo | pono: We should be sure to ask as soon as possible. Otherwise people might start dropping off the list. | 17:26 |
| pono | Will do. And hopefully can get them out today | 17:27 |
| doctormo | At least that's my fear. Are you guys super busy over there at the SFC? | 17:27 |
| pono | Well its always busy ;) but I'll get on the emails as soon as I can today | 17:28 |
| doctormo | Great, let us know if there's anything we can do to help. | 17:28 |
| pono | Will do. | 17:28 |
| prkos | The Job applications review are around about half done. We have come up with what we believe to be objective way to grade the applications | 17:29 |
| doctormo | I'm particually impressed by the spreadsheets you guys have drawn up to fairly rank according to what we want. Nice work! | 17:30 |
| prkos | We have also agreed on 4 additional questions to send to the applicants, I think those may have been sent already, and we're waiting for the answers so we can grade them | 17:30 |
| prkos | Thank you! It was mostly Tim and Michele's work, I gave a stamp of approval :D | 17:31 |
| pono | Okay, I'll get those sent out today and then forward them back to the list as they come in | 17:31 |
| prkos | We were all happy with the process we came up with, to make things objective, rational, try to tackle potential biases and other problems that usually arise when hiring people | 17:31 |
| prkos | Great Pono! Thank you! | 17:32 |
| doctormo | OK, so next up is the Vote update. I don't believe there are any live votes. | 17:32 |
| pono | Thank you! and Tim and Michele :) | 17:32 |
| doctormo | (although this is an item the new hire will actually write down for us :sweet_potato: ) | 17:33 |
| doctormo | OK @all any other business before we wrap this meeting up? | 17:33 |
| pono | Thanks everyone :) | 17:35 |
| Mc | :) | 17:35 |
| doctormo | thanks everyone! | 17:36 |
| doctormo | == END MEETING == | 17:36 |
