| ted | Howdy folks. === START MEETING === Agenda: * SFC Items (ted) * Student programs (Outreachy, GSoC, etc) ( @Tav ) * Developer meeting update (Mc) * Vectors update ( @ryangorley ) * Infrastructure update ( @doctormo ) * Administrator job retrospective ( ? ) * Security Key Program (Mc) * Current Votes/FSA Signing Status * Next Meeting: Oct 7, 2022 Okay, and I'll kick it off with my report. * SFC Items (ted) Financial overview from the SFC: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2401205 The big exciting change there is the mega-Paypal import is now complete. Thanks to bkuhn for getting that data in there. | 16:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Mc | ah that reminds me I should print the agreement and look for a post office | 17:01 |
| ted | That includes all the Paypal donations up to 7/28. | 17:01 |
| bkuhn | Well, some of the paypal donations from July still aren't imported right … | 17:02 |
| ted | Mc, good, I was going to mention that, but later :-) bkuhn, ah okay. I've updated the allocations sheet that I keep here: https://office.inkscape.org/nextcloud/index.php/s/yqgxF5ecknaYzNF Besides the amount updates there is also a column for the RT numbers. This is mostly so I can check them with Pono during our monthly RT sync. But if you need them, they're there. | 17:02 |
| bkuhn | … of and sorry that the paypal imports have some trouble keeping up to date BTW; some trouble with the paypal API that I'm happy to explain if folks want more data. It's why I stopped by in case you had questions about the delays. | 17:03 |
| ted | Also, I took out the individual donations and removed the names so that all the data is just amounts and dates so it is anonymized and could be shared. Made that into a spreadsheet here: https://office.inkscape.org/nextcloud/index.php/s/3LBeCLSRDByHkc2 Which includes a week-by-week graph of donations, which shows that in fact our donations did go up for a couple weeks with the release. The other outlier there is that on 4/29 we received a very kind donation of $1800. But that kinda messes up looking at the release bump a few weeks later. One thing to note is that these are the donations after the SFC's 10% but before Paypal fees. So comparing to other numbers might be weird. Good for trends but not for detailed analysis of amounts. | 17:03 |
| Mc | do we have older year data to see if "75% of projected in early september" is as usual ? | 17:04 |
| ted | Okay, so take those numbers with the grain of salt that bkuhn just mentioned :-) Yeah, I can do that. I'll try to do a year-over-year for next month. That would be interesting. | 17:04 |
| pono | Let me know if you need any additional data. | 17:05 |
| ted | K, thanks pono, I think I have it, but devil's in the details. Also, that data is through 7/28, so it would seem we are a bit higher. But the trend line is down slightly. | 17:05 |
| bkuhn | ted: all the salt is in the positive direction, donation numbers are probably a bit higher by about $1k (guestimate) than what you see there as of today. | 17:06 |
| ted | Not worried about it, just just noticing. I think we'll still hit the $75K from last year. Ah, yeah, that might explain the downward angle of the graph too. K, if there's no further questions we can move to our next item: * Student programs (Outreachy, GSoC, etc) ( @Tav ) I think we're close to the end of GSoC. | 17:06 |
| Mc | https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline indeed | 17:09 |
| ted | Haven't seen anyone from RocketChat though... | 17:09 |
| Mc | (Sep 19th) we can follow some of the projects on their MRs but the students are less active in the community unfortunately | 17:09 |
| ted | Seems we're connecting to RC. | 17:10 |
| scislac[m] | Sorry, reading log to catch up. | 17:10 |
| ted | scislac: howdy! Mc, so besides mentor's reviews is there anything we need to do as a project? | 17:11 |
| Mc | nope well, convince all contributors to stay around on the long term, of course | 17:11 |
| ted | Cool. Great. Heh, yeah :-) | 17:12 |
| karen | could publicize the results of the projects or just what was worked on with thanks for the contributors :) | 17:12 |
| Mc | I think the vectors team do that indeed | 17:12 |
| ted | Yeah, that'd be good. Is there a Vectors meeting tomorrow? We could add it to the agenda. (seems like they're always the day after this one, but I'm not sure) | 17:12 |
| ryangorley | Yes | 17:13 |
| ted | Great, I'll make sure to get it on the agenda. Thanks karen for the idea. | 17:13 |
| karen | another thing is to encourage the mentors to reach out to their interns to see what their goals are post-internship, so that those relationships can be established post-program and they feel supported, that kind of causes a lot of unexpected positive conversations just an idea :) | 17:13 |
| ted | Hmm, that is interesting. Not sure we've ever done something like that. Mc, thoughts? | 17:14 |
| Mc | sure | 17:15 |
| karen | it encourages interns to ask for recommendations, etc, or get help networkign with other people in the project if htey haven't already | 17:15 |
| ted | Makes sense. Some good ideas. Next up I have the developer checkin. * Developer meeting update (Mc) | 17:16 |
| Mc | mh, I missed 2 out of the 4 ones since last time I think :p I'll have to look into when people want 1.2.2 to happen | 17:17 |
| ted | Cool. No major issues like 1.2.1? More for translations? | 17:18 |
| Mc | not a lot yet : https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/commits/1.2.x/ we could wait for the "normal" timing of january TBD. | 17:19 |
| ted | K, makes sense. We do get hit by the end of year holidays. Would be nice to be far before or after. Next up: * Vectors update ( @ryangorley ) | 17:20 |
| ryangorley | Yes... | 17:21 |
| ryangorley | Others are able to chime in, but I don't think we have anything to bring before the PLC. | 17:21 |
| pono | Is the meeting tomorrow on chat or is there a video/ voice portion? | 17:22 |
| ryangorley | It's just chat, and it is tomorrow. | 17:22 |
| pono | 👍 | 17:22 |
| ryangorley | I'm still working on the agenda, trying to clean up old stuff. | 17:22 |
| ted | Ah, okay. I was looking for it to add the GSoC thing :-) | 17:23 |
| Mc | pono: (on https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors ) | 17:23 |
| ryangorley | It's actually on there, kinda. But I'll get it on there formally. | 17:23 |
| ryangorley | If someone who knows more about the progress there could join us that would help. | 17:23 |
| pono | Thanks Mc. I'll be there! | 17:24 |
| Mc | unsure I can attend | 17:24 |
| ted | K, I think that no matter what we have to be done by Sept 19th. I'm not sure which projects are complete though. We probably need a place to collect reports. I know my student is using a GH Gist. But others are probably different. | 17:24 |
| ryangorley | @ted I'll ping you when the agenda is up and you can comment on the issue with anything that comes to mind. | 17:25 |
| ted | Sounds good, thanks @ryangorley Next up I have: * Administrator job retrospective ( ? ) I'm not sure exactly who's on that or where it is. Does anyone have info there? I feel like we need to complete that before we can look at doing this again. | 17:25 |
| Mc | @ryangorley there are https://sushantaa.hashnode.dev/ and https://vaibhavmalik.hashnode.dev/ | 17:26 |
| pono | I think we were going to have a meeting, so I'll schedule something with the committee. | 17:27 |
| ted | pono, great, thank you. Do you know who's handling it from our side? | 17:27 |
| ryangorley | (Thanks @Mc ) | 17:28 |
| pono | I think Martin was in charge (I don't think any other PLC members were involved), but I'll send something to the whole list. | 17:28 |
| Mc | thanks | 17:28 |
| ted | pono, okay. Just concerned that we need to ensure that lands... hopefully your email will give it some momentum. | 17:29 |
| karen | probably best to involve multiple people | 17:29 |
| pono | Doing a retrospective and then trying again seems like a good path. So I'll gather the folks involved. | 17:29 |
| karen | it's tough, but it's really burst activity until it's done :) | 17:29 |
| ted | It would be good to get everyone who was involved with hiring at least invited. Even the non-PLC folks. | 17:30 |
| Mc | should we make a news item about it to be transparent about it (also to make some publicity for the second attempt) ? | 17:30 |
| pono | Mc: I think the plan was to write something together, so I'll put that on our agenda. | 17:30 |
| Mc | k | 17:30 |
| ted | K, let's have that meeting and then see where we need to go from there. Next up: * Security Key Program (Mc) | 17:31 |
| Mc | I'm still late for it | 17:31 |
| ted | K, is there anything blocking you? (besides time :-) | 17:32 |
| Mc | let me put some reminder in a calendar at an arbitrary date/time to schedule ie it* | 17:32 |
| ted | Haha, makes sense. Deadlines help :-) Next up: * Current Votes/FSA Signing Status I talked to karen earlier this week and she needed FSA signatures from: @Tav , Mc and scislac. Please send those if you haven't already. | 17:32 |
| Mc | \u0001ACTION planned it for Sep 6th\u0001 well I have the physical copy, signed, just here | 17:33 |
| ted | And there are no outstanding votes. So no one gets harassed there. | 17:33 |
| Mc | so I'll need an international stamp and we're good | 17:33 |
| ted | Ah, nice. Thanks Mc! | 17:34 |
| karen | great! send a scan or pic in the interim Mc... | 17:34 |
| Mc | or you can have a US-based fold looking me sign it over a webcam and certifying I'm signing the paper, or something :D folk* | 17:34 |
| scislac[m] | @Ted I'll do so later today. | 17:34 |
| ted | Haha, if it is filmed in the US... I'd love to see the legal brief on that. scislac: Awesome! | 17:34 |
| Mc | karen: just the last page ? or the paraphs too ? | 17:35 |
| karen | Mc a scan of the whole thing ideally | 17:36 |
| Mc | can do | 17:36 |
| karen | I know I want to make a snarky comments about lawyers. but... | 17:36 |
| Mc | :D | 17:36 |
| ted | This could be like three legal journal articles for you karen ;-) K, so the last thing I have is: * Next Meeting: Oct 7, 2022 Anyone else have something for the meeting? | 17:37 |
| karen | oh and don't forget that you should have initialed on the bottom of each page :) | 17:38 |
| Mc | yep that's what I calld "paraphs" | 17:38 |
| karen | haha ted: so funny oh i see! :) | 17:38 |
| ted | K, then I'll call it. Nice short meeting, thank's folks! === END OF MEETING === | 17:39 |
