|
| 13:58 | walterbender | hey manuq: sorry about the confusion re Distance. Hate to have wasted your time. |
| 13:59 | manuq | walterbender: no problem at all! |
| 13:59 | walterbender | manuq: but it did make me realize I had a regression... |
| 14:00 | manuq: what do you think of the various box icons? | |
| 14:00 | manuq: I am still not in love with any of them. | |
| 14:00 | manuq | I like #3 from Gonzalo |
| 14:00 | walterbender | manuq: but I think we have a good solution re the "sparkle" star |
| 14:00 | manuq | walterbender: yes |
| 14:00 | walterbender | looks |
| 14:01 | manuq | walterbender: we can expect some useful review from Gary |
| 14:01 | walterbender | sees that bernie is not here yet :P |

| 14:02 | walterbender | we are also expecting sebastian |
| 14:03 | tch <tch!~tch200.3.249.200> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:04 | walterbender | alsroot: while we wait for our quorum, shall we discuss your -1 re the Core certificate |
| 14:04 | tch has quit IRC | |
| 14:04 | manuq has left #sugar-meeting | |
| 14:04 | alsroot | walterbender: sure |
| 14:04 | walterbender | alsroot: that was the section I had given the least thought to... just added it as I thought that it filled a gaping hole |
| 14:04 | alsroot: but I am by no means married to it. | |
| 14:04 | tch <tch!~tch200.3.249.200> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:04 | walterbender | alsroot: you make good points. |
| 14:05 | alsroot | in that case, has all time decentralized direction :) |
| 14:05 | tch has quit IRC | |
| 14:05 | walterbender | alsroot: so we could either leave development team contributions under the Contributors X section or craft some new language |
| 14:06 | Contributors X was an idea to let each team determine their own critera | |
| 14:06 | tch <tch!~tch200.3.249.200> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:06 | walterbender | note that already we have a mechanism for local labs to give certifications |
| 14:06 | cjb | hi! |
| 14:06 | I thought we were doing 11am for some reason | |
| 14:06 | walterbender | hi cjb |
| 14:07 | alsroot | walterbender: well, thats also my issue point. because what is dev team? is it about core devs or platform devs? |
| 14:07 | walterbender | maybe it is and I am mistaken. |
| 14:07 | checks | |
| 14:07 | cjb | > I'd like to propose a meeting on Friday, 5 August, at UTC 15 (11 AM EDT |
| 14:07 | walterbender | cjb: you are correct. I said 11am |
| 14:07 | so we are all early :) | |
| 14:07 | alsroot | walterbender: ie, should all dev teams mambers follow all bureaucratic stuff to be a blessed dev team members or not |
| 14:08 | Cerlyn <Cerlyn!~cerlyn173-12-75-9-miami.hfc.comcastbusiness.net> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:08 | walterbender | alsroot: +1 |
| 14:08 | alsroot | doesn't have clear picture what is the current dev team is |
| 14:09 | walterbender | alsroot: so we can ditch the last paragraph and just assume dev team works like the other teams |
| 14:09 | alsroot | walterbender: +1 |
| 14:09 | walterbender | alsroot: I assumed that erikos and silbe were the coordinators |
| 14:10 | alsroot | walterbender: in that case current dev team is exactly core dev team (ie, glucose/fructose related procedures) |
| 14:10 | my point is to avoid assuming that we have only activities and core modules | |
| 14:11 | walterbender | alsroot: agreed. but I think that an activity developer specific certificate is pretty easy to do and there is explicit demand. |
| 14:12 | alsroot: maybe it should be an example of a Sugar X Contributor certificate, where X == Activity Developer | |
| 14:12 | then we have a completely decentralized approach, but with an example of a community standard | |
| 14:13 | alsroot | walterbender: +1, in that case might be useful not per-team certs but per function: Activity cert and Platform cert |
| 14:13 | walterbender | alsroot: but in that case, who is the certifying body? |
| 14:13 | alsroot: I chose teams because it is an existing structure within the leaves of the organization. | |
| 14:14 | alsroot | walterbender: well, as I said, I'm personally not happy w/ having current dev team as a core dev team.. |
| 14:14 | *the only dev team we have | |
| 14:15 | walterbender | alsroot: they are more of a release team |
| 14:15 | devel is must more loosely organized | |
| 14:16 | alsroot: I could see a PYGI/GTK3 "team" emerging, for example | |
| 14:17 | alsroot | walterbender: agree, because we are loosing any non-core (at least for current time) dev efforts |
| 14:17 | *non-core and non-activity | |
| 14:18 | walterbender: so, for me. the original question is about what dev team we have (and after that, what team will issue dev certs) | |
| 14:19 | walterbender | alsroot: my new language: http://fpaste.org/ihGH/ |
| 14:20 | alsroot: I side-step your question | |
| 14:21 | cjl | sees he is being told he's certifiable, not for the first time. . . |
| 14:22 | walterbender | cjl: I figure we need as many carrots as we can get as we don't have many sticks :P |
| 14:23 | cjl | :-) |
| 14:23 | alsroot | walterbender: yeah, at least dev team question is more difficult to solve and would be better to avoid the mess |
| 14:23 | though such dev team question exists (at least for me) | |
| 14:23 | walterbender | meanwhile, FWIW, alsroot, I think you have earned a merit badge... |
| 14:24 | cjl | walterbender: Is there a design of "a certificate suitable for framing" yet? |
| 14:24 | walterbender | cjl: not that I know of... |
| 14:24 | would like to give Turtle Art certificates out as well. | |
| 14:24 | cjl | Would it be the Education team judging content development 9e.g. wiki-slices, lesson plans, etc.)? |
| 14:25 | walterbender | cjl: as currently proposed, yes |
| 14:26 | cjl | We need to update http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/T[…]_Team/Coordinator to include dirakx and possibly gonzalo |
| 14:26 | walterbender | cjl: go for it |
| 14:27 | cjl | And develo-p a metric for "L10n cert" |
| 14:28 | walterbender | the discussion of the list was my guidance for writing up the Activity Developer criteria... maybe start a similar discussion on the i18n list? |
| 14:28 | cjl | walterbender: I think i18n on the part fo the developer is assumed, L10n is another mattter |
| 14:29 | walterbender | cjl: I should get a certificate for all the work I did on l10n for the currency plugin for TA :P |
| 14:30 | made svg files for 6 currencies and counting | |
| 14:30 | cjl | My thought is to chart the strings / words submitted in Poolte and find a reasonable cutoff number as a start. |
| 14:31 | walterbender: You are clearly certifiable in any sense of the word. | |
| 14:31 | :-) | |
| 14:32 | walterbender: Maybe the Translation team can offer special merit notations to devs that have gone above and beyond in i18n | |
| 14:33 | walterbender | maybe we should issues badges for people's websites instead of paper certificates :) |
| 14:33 | cjl | like wiki barnstars? |
| 14:34 | walterbender | cjl: in fact, it would be cool to even link to the contributions that led to certification... would make sense in today's world |
| 14:35 | and if we do use paper, we should add a QR with a link | |
| 14:37 | cjl | QR? |
| 14:39 | walterbender | those little square barcodes that contain URLs |
| 14:39 | cjl | Ah, 2D codes |
| 14:39 | walterbender | promised to write a reader for the XO |
| 14:40 | cjl | walterbender: Have you looked for open-source barcode reading software yet? |
| 14:40 | I'vwe used many bar-code systems i nlab automation, but alwaoys commercial or vendor supplied products | |
| 14:41 | walterbender | cjl: I think I found one... haven't looked at the code yet. |
| 14:41 | cjl | ok |
| 14:42 | always though code 3 of 9 sounded Borgish | |
| 14:43 | tch has quit IRC | |
| 14:43 | tch <tch!~tch200.3.249.200> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:50 | walterbender | cjl: I am looking at http://zbar.sourceforge.net |
| 14:50 | Python libraries | |
| 14:51 | I've only gotten so far as to unzip the tar.gz file | |
| 14:53 | cjl | walterbender: is it gtk2+ or GTK3+ |
| 14:54 | yevlempy <yevlempy!~yevlempy14.99.109.50> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:54 | walterbender | gtk2+ AFAIK |
| 14:58 | icarito <icarito!~urk190.157.137.22> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:58 | icarito | hi meeting is now, correct? |
| 14:58 | JT4sugar <JT4sugar!~JTd192-24-234-153.try.wideopenwest.com> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 14:59 | cjl | walterbender: Did you see http://techcrunch.com/2010/09/[…]+%28TechCrunch%29 |
| 15:00 | icarito | walterbender: your meeting time is now according to email - 15 UTC |
| 15:00 | kab <kab!~webchatjita.sugarlabs.org> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:00 | walterbender | icarito: yes... welcome |
| 15:00 | cjb | here too |
| 15:00 | walterbender | bernie should be here too, but whereas we have a quorum... |
| 15:00 | icarito | yay glad I could make it |
| 15:00 | walterbender | #startmeeting |
| 15:00 | meeting | Meeting started Fri Aug 5 15:00:58 2011 UTC. The chair is walterbender. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot. |
| 15:00 | Useful Commands: #action #agreed #help #info #idea #link #topic #endmeeting | |
| 15:01 | walterbender | alsroot and I already talked a bit about certificates, so maybe start there? |
| 15:01 | #topic certificates | |
| 15:01 | I sent an email earlier, but have revised my draft proposal since then. | |
| 15:02 | icarito | reading backlog |
| 15:02 | walterbender | #link http://fpaste.org/ihGH/ |
| 15:02 | the gist of alsroot's feedback, as I understood it, is more decentralization | |
| 15:02 | icarito_web <icarito_web!~webchatjita.sugarlabs.org> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:03 | walterbender | so I tried to recast the program based on where authority is delegated to the teams |
| 15:03 | and I use Activities as an example | |
| 15:03 | (based on a discussion on the lists) | |
| 15:03 | #link http://lists.sugarlabs.org/arc[…]-July/013736.html | |
| 15:04 | It is not clear whether the teams are the right place for this, but I don't know where else to delegate the responsibility. | |
| 15:04 | note that this is independent of the certification process we approved for local labs several months ago | |
| 15:04 | icarito_web | teams are largely inoperant atm |
| 15:05 | i.e. deployment team, even activities team | |
| 15:05 | walterbender | well, some are and some are not |
| 15:05 | cjb | sounds good to me, either walterbender's initial version or the decentralized one |
| 15:05 | icarito_web | although I was glad to hear about activity team meeting happening |
| 15:05 | walterbender | icarito: the activity team is very active, but perhaps not officially under that umbrella |
| 15:06 | icarito_web | it sounds to me like the only dev cert we need is activities |
| 15:06 | walterbender | icarito: and the design team meets almost weekly |
| 15:06 | icarito_web | but the activity team structure is not active (not to say activity developers are not) |
| 15:06 | walterbender | icarito as does the release team |
| 15:06 | and i18n is very active under cjl's leadership | |
| 15:06 | icarito | yes a team is as active as its coordinator |
| 15:07 | walterbender | icarito not sure about that... but no matter |
| 15:07 | icarito | but team coordinators are sometimes missing |
| 15:07 | walterbender | can we wrap up the topic at hand? any comments/suggestions re the proposal? |
| 15:07 | cjb | would vote +1 on it as-is |
| 15:08 | walterbender | cjb: would you make a motion? (and please specify which version?) |
| 15:09 | cjb | let's use your revision |
| 15:09 | could you send it to IAEP now? | |
| 15:09 | walterbender | icarito: certificates may serve as 'carrots' in different areas, e.g., i18n and l10n |
| 15:09 | cjb | and then we can quote it in the vote |
| 15:09 | walterbender | cjb: will do. |
| 15:09 | icarito | i just read the final wording and I think its ok |
| 15:10 | walterbender | cjb: sent |
| 15:11 | icarito | i was concerned about the requirements for amount of time for contributions and also about the body that makes the decision but I think its open enough to discuss that when it pops up |
| 15:11 | walterbender | icarito: I think I removed that in the latest draft |
| 15:11 | icarito: BTW, has SL Colombia issued any certificates yet? | |
| 15:11 | icarito | nope Local Labs are wary of certificates in general |
| 15:11 | walterbender | you guys were the furthest down that path |
| 15:12 | icarito | that is my impression |
| 15:12 | maybe we can issue some in peru | |
| 15:12 | walterbender | icarito: hmm... as I recall, you guys were the ones pressing for the program to begin with. |
| 15:12 | icarito | is relocating for a season to peru with the entire family, driving a week accross southamerica with baby and all |
| 15:13 | walterbender | icarito: wow |
| 15:13 | cjb | MOTION: We will award certificates to developers/contributors following the description in http://lists.sugarlabs.org/arc[…]ugust/013885.html |
| 15:13 | walterbender | seconded |
| 15:13 | icarito | we were pressing for a services portfolio, certificates was one of the items but it was not very well received by other local labs |
| 15:13 | cjb | +1 |
| 15:13 | walterbender | +1 |
| 15:13 | alsroot | +1 |
| 15:14 | icarito | +1 |
| 15:14 | walterbender | motion passes. |
| 15:14 | #action walter will solicit votes from our absent members | |
| 15:14 | icarito | a question is how do we rotate the coordinators of teams? |
| 15:14 | is for each team to decide but sometimes there is no team | |
| 15:14 | walterbender | icarito: maybe a new topic on teams in general? |
| 15:15 | icarito | i have no specific proposal on the topic |
| 15:15 | walterbender | icarito: but could we first discuss the NDSU proposal? |
| 15:15 | icarito | so i dont want to waste the boards time |
| 15:15 | walterbender | #TOPIC NDSU SL proposal |
| 15:15 | thinks it is an important topic | |
| 15:16 | JT4sugar | I am here along with Dr. Kevin Brooks Chair of English NDSU-IRC nic Kab |
| 15:16 | walterbender | has everyone had a chance to read the NDSU proposal? |
| 15:16 | JT4sugar has been the primary liaison with them | |
| 15:16 | JT4sugar: want to comment? | |
| 15:17 | JT4sugar | They have been involved with a SoaS project for last year at elementary school |
| 15:17 | They would like to move forward to larger Fargo community | |
| 15:17 | A local Sugar Labs allows them to partner with Comp Sci Dept | |
| 15:18 | cjb | walterbender: sorry, I don't think I've seen it. Where is it? |
| 15:18 | JT4sugar | They also have a XO contributors program proposal in an will be hopefully working on activities fro Sugar/XO |
| 15:19 | walterbender | cjb: I'll resend it. |
| 15:19 | JT4sugar | kab, Would you like to pick up Dr. Brooks with quick intro |
| 15:19 | kab | Thanks John. |
| 15:20 | The "SL at NDSU" would help institutionalize our project--useful for visibility and long term funding. | |
| 15:20 | walterbender | cjb: sent |
| 15:21 | kab | The CS people have been interested but slow to join; they have some great edugames they have designed and wan to test in Sugar. |
| 15:21 | I could go on, but maybe people have questions. | |
| 15:21 | cjb | walterbender: I see the original went to "slobsugarlabs.org" |
| 15:21 | walterbender | cjb: it was resent to slobs |
| 15:22 | cjb | ah |
| 15:22 | are you sure? | |
| 15:22 | nothing matching NDSU in my slobs box before just now | |
| 15:22 | icarito | walterbender: same here as cjb |
| 15:22 | just reading now | |
| 15:23 | walterbender | cjb: I got it... but I was CC'd. Maybe it bounced |
| 15:23 | sorry about that | |
| 15:23 | alsroot | got both, to slobs@ and iaep@ |
| 15:24 | cjb | it mentions an attached XO lending request, but I don't think it's attached |
| 15:24 | walterbender | cjb: I didn't forward that just now as I didn't think it was relevant |
| 15:24 | icarito | looking over http://fargoxo.wordpress.com/ interesting material, would be nice to aggregate in planet.sugarlabs.org |
| 15:25 | walterbender | cjb: was trying to minimize the clutter |
| 15:25 | JT4sugar | cjb, Just forwarded you email with both |
| 15:25 | cjb | oh, it was resent, but the resend didn't go through.. huh, I wonder why |
| 15:26 | walterbender | icarito: good point re the blog. I would make including it in the planet a criteria for acceptance :P |
| 15:26 | icarito | yes it also mentions a MOU |
| 15:27 | walterbender | icarito ^it ? |
| 15:27 | kab | We would be happy to inhabit your planet. |
| 15:28 | icarito | walterbender: the email you just fwd |
| 15:28 | welcome kab :-) | |
| 15:29 | walterbender | icarito the MOU was attached... tell you what, I'll pastebin it. |
| 15:29 | icarito | just reading at the blog i'm +1 only would like for them to have http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/S[…]Labs:_a_community in mind |
| 15:29 | ahh sorry | |
| 15:29 | reads | |
| 15:31 | ok looks good | |
| 15:31 | walterbender | http://fpaste.org/GwFR/ |
| 15:31 | Any further comments? | |
| 15:32 | cjb | looks good so far! |
| 15:32 | walterbender | hopes that this will bring NDSU into closer orbit with the rest of the community (sticking with the planet metaphor) |
| 15:32 | icarito | it would be nice if we as a board could remind the existing local labs about http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/S[…]Labs:_a_community and ask the ones who havent to appoint a representative and such |
| 15:32 | walterbender | icarito +1 |
| 15:33 | icarito | regarding NDSU looks like we can give a warm welcome ;-) |
| 15:34 | JT4sugar | icarito, Appoint a representative to sit on SLOBS or report in? |
| 15:34 | icarito | we come in peace |
| 15:34 | walterbender | motion: Accept NDSU's proposal to create a Local Lab. |
| 15:34 | icarito | JT4sugar: just a pointperson so we know who to contact and can ask what's up |
| 15:34 | JT4sugar | icarito, Good point |
| 15:35 | walterbender | anyone willing to second my motion? |
| 15:35 | kab | It's plenty warm here this summer, but thanks for the warm welcome. I'd be happy to sit on Slobs and/or serve as point person. |
| 15:35 | icarito | JT4sugar: the MOU just reminded me about it ;-) |
| 15:35 | kab cool, no need to sit in slobs every time but of course you are welcome and encouraged as is every member of the community ;-) | |
| 15:36 | +1 from me | |
| 15:36 | walterbender | #action attach the MOU to the meeting minutes |
| 15:36 | cjb | walterbender: ok, seconded |
| 15:36 | +1 | |
| 15:36 | walterbender | +1 |
| 15:36 | alsroot | +1 |
| 15:36 | walterbender | passed. |
| 15:36 | Welcome NDSU!! | |
| 15:37 | #action walter to execute the MOU on behalf of SL | |
| 15:37 | I will also solicit feedback from our absent members. | |
| 15:37 | cjl | is glad t onote that ND is finally a state as well, Ithink |
| 15:37 | kab | Thanks everyone. Looking forward to meeting more of the community. |
| 15:37 | JT4sugar | Appreciate the opportunty to collaborate with NDSU on a more official basis and look forward to the community benefits |
| 15:37 | walterbender | Wow. We are a well-oiled machine today |
| 15:38 | kab | We are a state of mind, perhaps not a state in the union. |
| 15:38 | walterbender | icarito, alsroot shall we take a few minutes to talk about teams now? Unless there is other board business? |
| 15:38 | notes that MA is a Commonwealth, not a State | |
| 15:38 | alsroot | walterbender: +1, we need at least to start this talk.. |
| 15:39 | icarito_web | i just live in one big island called southamerica ;-) |
| 15:39 | walterbender | #topic teams |
| 15:39 | It has been more than 3 years since we launched Sugar Labs. At the time we emphasized a decentralized model, of which teams were an important part | |
| 15:40 | but maybe time to revisit this? | |
| 15:40 | alsroot | has an issue point w/ Dev Team goals |
| 15:40 | walterbender | I am still in favor of decentralized teams but maybe they need some shepherding? |
| 15:40 | lucian <lucian!~lucian78.86.217.168> has joined #sugar-meeting |
|
| 15:40 | icarito | +1 looks like we have an abundance of silent teams |
| 15:41 | lots of overlap and little leadership | |
| 15:41 | not complaining just thinking out loud | |
| 15:41 | walterbender | seems we have two issues on the table: leadership and the goals of a specific team |
| 15:42 | icarito | also what is the benefit for teams to officially be and mantain status as a SL Team...? |
| 15:42 | yevlempy has quit IRC | |
| 15:42 | icarito | seems these tasks get done without the structure |
| 15:42 | cjl | walterbender: catherding, not shepherding |
| 15:42 | icarito | maybe we should generalize the idea of reminding Local Labs about http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/S[…]Labs:_a_community to include Teams as well |
| 15:43 | cjl: yes exactly | |
| 15:43 | that is asking for status report and appointment of coordinators by say a specific date | |
| 15:44 | alsroot | icarito: +1 |
| 15:45 | cjl | The Translation Team (via me) has made quarterly reports to SLOBS since the idea first floated 6 months ago. |
| 15:45 | alsroot | though not appointing but asking current cooridinator(s) |
| 15:45 | and sorting out how many teams we have w/o any coordinator | |
| 15:45 | walterbender | I can ask for a report in time for our next meeting, say in two weeks? |
| 15:46 | icarito: can you do the same for local labs? | |
| 15:46 | icarito | we need a way to temporarily "stash" teams/local labs that are non responsive |
| 15:46 | walterbender | icarito: why? |
| 15:46 | icarito | for one thing because its misleading in the website, don't you think? |
| 15:46 | also because I think SL should have resposive organs | |
| 15:47 | or not have them at all | |
| 15:47 | i dont mean to suspend / remove but only to reflect the actual status | |
| 15:47 | walterbender | icarito: OK... as much as I hate the metaphor, I see it somewhat as a "cookie-licking issue" |
| 15:48 | alsroot | yeah, thats really good point.., ie, having only well working parts and add/remove new/old in the process but keep current set all time responsible |
| 15:48 | walterbender | icarito: I don't want people to feel inhibited from working on something because they don't get a response from a team |
| 15:48 | but I have no idea if it is a real issue | |
| 15:49 | icarito | walterbender: i think 2 weeks is a bit quick for Local Labs - I'm just arriving in 2 weeks to peru - can we say in a month from now? |
| 15:49 | walterbender | icarito: sure |
| 15:49 | JT4sugar | walterbender, Maybe a report plus asking what community benefitting plans the teams or labs have for next six months, might help initiate action-As people do or don't respond we will get a complete picture then adjust accordingly |
| 15:49 | walterbender | JT4sugar: nice |
| 15:50 | so we have an action plan for the leadership topic at least... | |
| 15:50 | alsroot | +1 |
| 15:50 | walterbender | #action walter will contact team coordinators to ask for a report due in 1 month ; icarito will do the same for local labs |
| 15:51 | shall we set the date for our early Sept. meeting? | |
| 15:51 | Sept. 9? | |
| 15:51 | alsroot | walterbender: that will be useful to have this date |
| 15:51 | walterbender | does that interfere with Sugar Camp Paris? |
| 15:51 | or is that a plus? | |
| 15:52 | cjb | hm, it's the day before it |
| 15:52 | that's probably not a plus | |
| 15:52 | presumably people will be traveling | |
| 15:52 | icarito | walterbender: lets ask for a status report, some objectives and the confirmation of the pointperson/coordinator - and lets assume no answer means we can stash the team/local lab temporarily |
| 15:53 | I already tried asking for coordinators in southamerica and only had response from peru, argentina and colombia | |
| 15:54 | by stash I mean only remove the link on the side bar of the wiki and put a notice on the wiki page | |
| 15:54 | JT4sugar | walterbender, asking teams to have report plus plan sent to you for discussion at SLOBS on or before Paris would allow for this info to be shared in Paris and hopefully good ideas to move forward and reenergize stalled efforts |
| 15:54 | icarito | do you think that is too severe? |
| 15:55 | walterbender | icarito Let's wait to hear back before we talk action |
| 15:55 | ^talk^take | |
| 15:55 | cjl | icarito removing link from sidebar is too severe and discourages someone from taking on leadership. Note it on the team page |
| 15:56 | alsroot | icarito: actually we can make a decision after getting more clean picture |
| 15:56 | icarito | also do you think we can put this in a motion to give it some oficialness? |
| 15:56 | i'm ok with not removing until we hear back - hoping we hear back ;-) | |
| 15:56 | walterbender | icarito I think we are agreed to put into motion the reporting process |
| 15:56 | icarito | yes |
| 15:56 | alsroot | thinks having clean picture for teams/labs (and having an intention to keep it uptodate) is a huge plus itself |
| 15:57 | kab has quit IRC | |
| 15:57 | walterbender | icarito and then let's see where we stand... hopefully it will light a fire under some of our more quiet colleagues |
| 15:57 | alsroot: +1 | |
| 15:57 | icarito | yes I don't expect we'll have to remove much if anything |
| 15:57 | walterbender | so, let's perhaps plan to meet on the 16th, but I'll ask for the reports on due on the 9th |
| 15:58 | icarito | but the intention to keep the sidebar up to date to reflect the community is important +1 alsroot |
| 15:58 | walterbender | icarito I agree... and perhaps this exercise will lead to some reorg |
| 15:58 | alsroot | walterbender: +1 |
| 15:58 | JT4sugar | walterbender, Asking them what they believe they need to be more successful may also yield some important info and areas we can identify and work on |
| 15:59 | walterbender | JT4sugar: maybe you can help me draft some questions... we can also lean on cjl whose i18n report was very informative |
| 15:59 | icarito | already noted in my calendar - lets ask for the status report to be sent to both SLOBs and (IAEP or Sur) for the cases where they may be in Spanish |
| 15:59 | walterbender | alsroot: regarding your issue, perhaps you can play a role in drafting the devel team report? |
| 15:59 | cjl | walterbender: I found my March one, but I thought I had sent another mor erecently. . |
| 16:00 | JT4sugar | walterbender, Sure early next week Tuesday would be good for me |
| 16:00 | walterbender | cjl: I thought so too. |
| 16:00 | icarito | cjl: you are the exemplary team ;-) just so you have an idea |
| 16:00 | alsroot | walterbender: thats *too* slippery :), I guess erikos and silbe are current dev team coordinators |
| 16:00 | cjl | looking at lists to find second |
| 16:01 | walterbender | ok... it is an hour |
| 16:01 | we should end the formal meeting | |
| 16:01 | alsroot | walterbender: but I can provide my vision for Platform Team |
| 16:01 | walterbender | alsroot: +1 |
| 16:02 | cjl | March L10n report http://lists.laptop.org/piperm[…]March/002851.html |
| 16:02 | icarito | ok we have an #action but no motion - |
| 16:02 | guess we can do with that | |
| 16:02 | walterbender | icarito: we don't need to vote on this... |
| 16:02 | icarito | ok |
| 16:02 | seems we are agreed anyhow and also reflects past motions about this | |
| 16:02 | cjl | June L10n report http://lists.laptop.org/piperm[…]-June/002970.html |
| 16:03 | walterbender | well, thanks for attending today and for staying on topic... |
| 16:03 | any last words for the official transcript? | |

| 16:04 | cjb | thanks, see you |
| 16:04 | cjl | walterbender: The L10n reports used no specific template, but perhaps some ideas can be derived from them. |
| 16:04 | walterbender | cjl: the ideas are what I am looking for... |
| 16:07 | alsroot | thanks to all, /me needs to run |
| 16:08 | cjl | walterbender: I've adopted the practice of posting them to the L10n list 1) to emphasize that I am team coordinator, not csar, 2) t osolicit wider input and start community discussions on the topics i single out. Might be a good practice to promote for other teams. |
