Quozl: I just want to talk about 1023 status and accounting/book-keeping briefly |
20:02 |
|
boring, I know |
20:02 |
Quozl |
i've the unsupported operating systems issue; just found meeting is on jita, which is ubuntu 12.04 |

#topic 1023 and accounting |
20:03 |
MrBIOS |
I just pinged Samson |
20:03 |
pikurasa |
Quozl: as for 1023, it is 2020 and not yet complete. |
20:04 |
|
Kyle tried to help us complete by the end of the year, but we still have some loose ends |
20:04 |
|
We are about 90% of the way there, I think |
20:04 |
Quozl |
we can never assume people will answer mails or other contacts, i've found repeated attempts matter. |
20:04 |
MrBIOS |
yep, I propose we have a "workshop" of sorts to get it across the finish line. |
20:04 |

MrBIOS: I agree. Set aside 2-3 hours of an afternoon would be good |
20:05 |
Quozl |
llaske: welcome, topic is 1023 and accounting. |
20:05 |
MrBIOS |
Samson says he is coming |
20:05 |
pikurasa |
We need to make sure everyone is on the same page. |
20:05 |
MrBIOS |
having hotspot issues. |
20:05 |
pikurasa |
And I think we need to do it soon-ish to avoid needing to ask SFC for more time |
20:05 |

MrBIOS |
looks like llaske may be having connection problems too :P |
20:06 |
pikurasa |
I need it for 1023 |
20:06 |
|
Thanks! |
20:06 |
samsongoddy |
hello, sorry for coming late, had some connection issue |
20:06 |
|
Okay, sure |
20:06 |
Quozl |
so re the topic, your suggestion is to defer it? |
20:07 |
pikurasa |
As for accounting and book-keeping, we need to get help to submit 2019 taxes as our new entity, I think (I need to see the form IRS sent us to be sure, but I think it is the case). |
20:07 |
walterbender |
samsongoddy, please send pikurasa your home address |
20:07 |
pikurasa |
I found a bookkeeping company that was recommended called ABC |
20:08 |
samsongoddy |
Done |

llaske |
Sorry I'm back, had an issue. Hi all |
20:08 |
MrBIOS |
pikurasa great, do they have any experience with non-profits? |
20:08 |
pikurasa |
yes they do |
20:09 |
|
They charge something like $90/hour |
20:09 |
|
which seems typical |
20:09 |
Quozl |
llaske: welcome, i hear you. |
20:09 |
MrBIOS |
yep, that's about the going rate. How do you propose we engage with them? Where are they based, and are they technically competent? |
20:09 |
Quozl |
pikurasa: i dunno about there, but here they would have to have suitable registrations; do they? |
20:10 |
pikurasa |
MrBIOS: They have one person who is very technically competent, Annie |
20:10 |
|
She is the one who came recommended by a web developer company |
20:10 |
Quozl |
it's always good to have accountants with professional liability or e&oe insurance. |
20:10 |
pikurasa |
They are in NY |
20:11 |
MrBIOS |
pikurasa, great, website? Are any of them CPAs? |
20:11 |
|
That's Certified Professional Accountant, for non-US folk |

20:12 |
|
I am unsure if any of them are accountants, but they have a partnership with an accounting firm |
20:12 |
|
Wegner, is the name, I think |
20:12 |
|
samsongoddy has quit IRC |
20:12 |
pikurasa |
At any rate, that is where I am at -- just exploring options |
20:13 |
MrBIOS |
okay, we can engage with them, and figure out if they're right for us, it makes sense at this point, any objections from anyone else? |
20:13 |
pikurasa |
Their initial assessment is a little under $300, fyi |
20:13 |
Quozl |
it's a new board responsibility, so i've nothing further to add. |
20:13 |
walterbender |
just heard that Claudia will not be able to join us |
20:14 |
pikurasa |
One time fee |
20:14 |
Quozl |
walterbender: thanks. claudia is an explicit apology then. |
20:14 |
|
pikurasa: are you content with the discussion on the topic so we can move on? |
20:14 |
pikurasa |
Yes |
20:14 |
|
I don't want to talk about finances any more |
20:14 |
|
:p |
20:15 |
MrBIOS |
just wait until we get to fundraising :P |
20:15 |
Quozl |
walterbender: your turn. |
20:15 |
|
#topic gci, gsoc |
20:16 |
|
(after that, i'll say topic is election, then our vulnerable infrastructure, and leave fundraising for last, if everyone is okay with that.) |
20:18 |
walterbender |
#topic gci |
20:18 |
|
going well |
20:18 |
|
lots of participation and some real progress on Python 3 porting, Music Blocks bug fixes and long-needed overhauls |
20:18 |
MrBIOS |
What's the timeframe? End date? |
20:18 |
walterbender |
3 more weeks |
20:19 |
|
459 students so far |
20:19 |
|
of course 55 are amazing |
20:19 |
|
^55^5% |
20:19 |
llaske |
Just shared with us a CSV file with instances if anyone want to do some stats |
20:20 |
walterbender |

20:20 |
MrBIOS |
That's great, we should do a write-up once we're done, and potentially use it for marketing purposes. |

20:20 |
MrBIOS |
and by we, I mean you, Walter ;) |
20:20 |
walterbender |
we usually get a great blog or two from students at the end |
20:21 |
|
#task GCI writeup |
20:21 |
|
switching to GSoC |
20:21 |
pikurasa |
We do get great blogs from students. It would be nice to have one blog on SL site that links to those great student blogs. |
20:21 |
walterbender |
#topic GSoC 2020 |
20:21 |
llaske |
About 40 issues fixed on the Sugarizer side |
20:22 |
walterbender |
the application window is opening soon so we should decide whether or not to do it again this year |
20:22 |
|
I am in favor as I have had very good students over the years: Favour for example |
20:22 |
Quozl |
i felt gsoc 2019 wasn't particularly successful; we get way more out of a single gci task than we do out of a week or gsoc. |
20:22 |
MrBIOS |
I'm in favor of it, it's good exposure if nothing else. |
20:23 |
walterbender |
but I understand that others have been disappointed. |
20:23 |
|
samsongo_ has quit IRC |
20:23 |
Quozl |
it's a problem of return on investment, mainly. |
20:23 |
MrBIOS |
but yes, we should be highly selective |
20:23 |
llaske |
I'm in favor. Great features added this year to Sugarizer thanks to GSoC |
20:23 |
MrBIOS |
Quozl, I completely agree |
20:23 |
walterbender |
Quozl, I agree that GCI is more return for our mentoring investment |
20:23 |
pikurasa |
The main benefit of GSoC is work on larger projects. |
20:24 |
walterbender |
we need to be very selective and (like last year) turn down slots if we don't have the mentors to handle them |
20:24 |
llaske |
On Sugarizer all GSoC projects are integrated and released |
20:24 |
walterbender |
same with MB |
20:24 |
MrBIOS |
llaske that's great news |
20:24 |
Quozl |
we can't tell ahead of time who will do the right thing. we saw commits that were probably subcontracted work; complete style changes and only cognitive failure could explain the difference. |
20:24 |
pikurasa |
That being said, there are some students that are admitted that should not be continued once it has been determined that they are unproductive. |
20:24 |
walterbender |
Quozl, we have failed students in the past. |
20:25 |
MrBIOS |
that's good to know |
20:26 |
Quozl |
in preparation for gsoc, i can report about 49 new subscriptions since 18th november, each of which i've sent my how to get started message. |
20:26 |
|
of those, about five replied to me. |
20:26 |
walterbender |
I've had many too, sent to me individually... same deal |
20:27 |
|
maybe some of the GCI students will be in Uni next year? |
20:27 |
Quozl |
the subscriptions are mostly (~85% to ~95%) from india. one of last year's gsoc students told me privately there is a play book in the universities. |
20:27 |
walterbender |
not sure if they can apply yet :P |
20:27 |
|
Quozl, yes... actually same deal with GCI --- some schools push it |
20:27 |
MrBIOS |
Quozl, yes, I wonder to what extent it's posturing for resume-padding. |
20:27 |
walterbender |
of course it is for some |
20:27 |
|
but some are legit |
20:28 |
Quozl |
walterbender: it was said to be a non-official playbook, but i can't prove that. |
20:28 |
walterbender |
and regardless of their motives, if they make real contributions... |
20:28 |
MrBIOS |
agreed, at the end, that's what matters. |
20:28 |
Quozl |
at the moment, 90% of the new subscriptions make no contribution at all. |
20:28 |
walterbender |
Maybe we can do interviews this year |
20:28 |
pikurasa |
Interviews would be nice, I think |
20:28 |
walterbender |
10% is a decent return |
20:29 |
MrBIOS |
I'm strongly in favor of light interviews |
20:29 |
Quozl |
i think it's wishful thinking. |
20:29 |
MrBIOS |
if they can't be bothered to show up for the interview, that's a great way to weed out time-wasters |
20:29 |
pikurasa |
Yes |
20:30 |
|
If they do not do the interview, then they cannot be accepted |
20:30 |
Quozl |
walterbender: it is half way on time, care to move on to election yet? |
20:30 |
walterbender |
can propose a motion for GSoC? |
20:30 |
Quozl |
sure. |
20:30 |
walterbender |
motion: Walter will prepare an application on behalf of Sugar Labs for GSoC. |
20:31 |
llaske |
Seconded, I can help if need |
20:31 |
Quozl |
and submit? |
20:31 |
MrBIOS |
+1 |
20:31 |
walterbender |
It will be vetted by the board before submission |
20:31 |
Quozl |
oh. |
20:31 |
walterbender |
(that was line 2 of the motion) |
20:31 |
Quozl |
did we do that before? i thought we just agreed to submit. |
20:31 |
Favour |

20:31 |
pikurasa |

20:32 |
walterbender |
I would like feedback, but I suppose we need not require it as the application itself is just boilerplate. |
20:32 |
Quozl |
2019-02 "Sugar Labs will apply for Google Summer of Code 2019", i propose the motion is amended to the same, with 2020 as the year. |

#topic election |
20:33 |
|
ibiam is not here... but he did send email out re a January election |
20:33 |
Quozl |
(by the way, would our visitors please identify themselves for our records ... don't worry about interrupting the flow). |
20:34 |
walterbender |
I will ask that he send an update |
20:34 |
Quozl |
i note ibiam has also stood as a candidate. |
20:34 |
llaske |
Nice to see he's candidate |
20:34 |
walterbender |
OK. Then we will need to find someone to run the election. |
20:34 |
MrBIOS |
agreed |
20:34 |
walterbender |
I will solicit volunteers from the community |
20:34 |
samsongoddy |
I can do that |
20:35 |
Bottersnike |
Re-identifying self as visitor present in meeting. |
20:35 |
walterbender |
OK with me. |
20:35 |
samsongoddy |
I am up for election |
20:35 |
walterbender |
Bottersnike is a GCI participant |
20:35 |
Quozl |
pikurasa: reminder; the new organisation will need to decide after the election if they will offer a seat on the board to any elected members of the old organisation. |
20:35 |
eohomegrownapps |
is identifying as a visitor |
20:35 |
samsongoddy |
So I don't think I should |
20:35 |
walterbender |
samsongoddy if you are up for reelection you need to stand down from the committee |

Identifying as as a visitor |
20:36 |
walterbender |
I don't think we can do much else re election until I find someone to run it. |
20:36 |
Quozl |
are we finished with the election topic? i'd like to insert the infrastructure topic next. |
20:37 |
pikurasa |
Quozl: Many are GCI students |
20:37 |
|
what needs to be said about the election? |
20:37 |
|
I noticed that ibiam announced candidacy |
20:37 |
walterbender |
I'll get on that after the election. |
20:37 |
|
Quozl, please continue your topic |
20:37 |
Quozl |
#topic infrastructure |
20:37 |
MrBIOS |
Quozl: on the subject of vulnerable/decrepit infrastructure, I took it upon myself to re-set the jita VM when it went out to lunch, and I cloned the VM while it was still down, and then brought up the clone with a different IP, and proceeded to upgrade the base operating system to 18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver). I've done nothing with it since then, this was a few days ago, |
20:37 |
|
but now I/someone needs to see what doesn't work, if anything. |
20:37 |
|
presumably plenty of things don't/won't work |
20:38 |
walterbender |
I think mailman may be iffy too... I did not get ibiam's emails, for example. |
20:38 |
Quozl |
meeting bot and several other services run on jita, which is ubuntu 12.04. aslo and translations run on ubuntu 14.04. denial of service vulnerabilities exist, which we can handle by monitoring. there may be remove execution vulnerabilities eventually; what shall we do when we hit them? |
20:38 |
meeting |
Quozl: Error: "bot" is not a valid command. |
20:38 |
Quozl |
s/remove/remote |
20:38 |
MrBIOS |
getting the meeting bot running elsewhere should be fairly trivial |
20:39 |
Quozl |
walterbender: mailman is on sunjammer, which is 18.04.3 |
20:39 |
MrBIOS |
yes, all mail infrastructure is not hosted on the hardware we have at MIT |
20:40 |
walterbender |
OK. Maybe a glitch in my email |
20:40 |
Quozl |
by the way, the MIT infra is SFC owned, is legal transfer on the way? |
20:40 |
|
walterbender: gmail has increased their thresholds recently, i've a set of other community groups affected. |
20:40 |
MrBIOS |
Quozl yes,that will happen once the non profit status happens |

MrBIOS: thanks. |
20:41 |
MrBIOS |
Jita also hosts/hosted our old Gitorious instance, which we should shut down properly |
20:41 |
|
it's still running there, I see the services start and stop |
20:41 |
|
https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Service/git |
20:41 |
Quozl |
okay, so i've absolved myself of the responsibility to report; does anyone feel responsible enough to suggest what we do? ;-) we still use gitorious. |
20:41 |
|
samsongo_ has quit IRC |
20:41 |
MrBIOS |
what do we use it for, exactly? |
20:42 |
Quozl |

20:43 |
walterbender |
Quozl, any reason not to migrate those repos to github? |
20:43 |
Quozl |
(last i saw, several activities only exist on gitorious). |
20:44 |
|
walterbender: yes, they might not work, and the time to assess. |
20:44 |
MrBIOS |
Quozl good to know, should we fix that? |
20:45 |
Quozl |
it's yack shaving. you want to shutdown gitorious, that's one of the things you should also do, or risk losing things. |

#topic fundraising |
20:46 |
|
this came from https://github.com/sugarlabs/m[…]cblocks/pull/1996 |
20:46 |
walterbender |
Favour and Bharath_Joshi do you want to explain your ideas |
20:46 |
Bharath_Joshi |
So firstly why a sponsorship button? |
20:46 |
|
Adding a sponsorship button might seem a minute addition, but it makes a lot of difference when it comes to the developers.I do agree that 6 out of 10 people might not even notice it being added and the 2 among rest 4 people wouldn't pay attention to it. My inner conscience believes that the rest 2 members would atleast think about it and may end |
20:46 |
|
up sponsoring and that would boost the confidence of the developer to another extent. |
20:47 |
MrBIOS |
button where, and for what, exactly? |
20:47 |
Bharath_Joshi |
Setting up it is also not a hard task and would require no modification of code or anything of that sort.. |
20:47 |
MrBIOS |
in the app itself? |
20:47 |
|
samsongo_ has quit IRC |
20:47 |
Bharath_Joshi |
One second, can i send an image? |
20:47 |
Favour |
Most open-source projects that I've seen so far seem to use a collection of Patreon, OpenCollective, and a manual process for their sponsorships. Having it integrated into GitHub makes a lot of sense. |
20:48 |
|
The sponsorship button is on github |
20:48 |
pikurasa |
Even for the people who do not become "sponsors" it serves as PR as it reminds people that SL is the org that develops the app. |
20:48 |
Bharath_Joshi |
It would appear in the repository near the star, fork symbols in github |
20:48 |
|
Is there a way to attach a picture in this chat? |
20:49 |
Quozl |
Most open-source projects that do it also had donors first, for which they responded by investing in the features. pikurasa: what donors have we had in last year? |
20:49 |
MrBIOS |
Bharath_Joshi just paste a link to a URL of the photo |
20:49 |
Quozl |
Bharath_Joshi: or send a URL to a project that does it. |
20:49 |
MrBIOS |
in principle, I'm not opposed, but we also don't have any mechanisms for casual donations, so asking what we have gotten seems a bit absurd |
20:49 |
|
it's a chicken and egg problem, if you don't make it easy, it's not likely to ever happen |

Quozl |
MrBIOS: we publish a mechanism for casual donations. |
20:49 |
walterbender |
We have had donations from Trip Advisor, Google, Nokia, a few private foundations, Slipstream... |
20:50 |
satellit |
seen trisquel donation list? |

20:50 |
Bharath_Joshi |
Favour we could mention Patreon, Opencollective accounts |
20:50 |
Quozl |
MrBIOS: we have now this; https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Donate |
20:51 |
MrBIOS |
yep, and neither of those two are easy, or even close to it |
20:51 |
Bharath_Joshi |
earlier the donation links were usually attached in the readme file and went unnoticed. bringing it on the top would help. |
20:51 |
Quozl |
MrBIOS: yes, perhaps an artefact of SFC, and they may have improved things since, but we're leaving them soon. |
20:51 |
pikurasa |
There are so many ways to do this, that we should think about this a bit more before deployment |
20:51 |
|
otherwise I have nothing against the idea |
20:52 |
MrBIOS |
pikurasa, agreed, but also agreed, it has to be prominent. |
20:52 |

pikurasa |
Like, "Once someone dontes, do they get a gift?" Because if I was a kid, I would want a gift |
20:52 |
walterbender |
I wish it was at the project level and not the repo level |
20:53 |
pikurasa |
walterbender: that would be nice |
20:53 |
MrBIOS |
pikurasa I doubt we'd get donations from any/many kids. we have a bank account now, we could be accepting non-tax-deductible donations via PayPal at present, to the new organization. |
20:53 |
pikurasa |
well, it could be in some interface that linked to all the repos |
20:53 |
MrBIOS |
but obviously that has to be agreed upon |
20:53 |
Bharath_Joshi |
walterbender the organisation sponsorship button i currently in beta version and may come in near future. |
20:53 |
Quozl |
i've understood from the way patreon-based communities respond that the funding tends to steer the organisation. will that happen? |
20:53 |

pikurasa |
MrBIOS: I dunno, kids seem to buy lots of stuff in their apps these days. Not impossible I think |
20:54 |
MrBIOS |
impossible to say, really |
20:54 |
|
pikurasa fair enough, I guess |
20:54 |
walterbender |
Quozl, the Trip Advisor and Google funding has been somewhat targeted but toward ends we define |
20:54 |
pikurasa |
I would rather they donate to SL than spend money in some weird app |
20:54 |
|
samsongoddy has quit IRC |
20:54 |
pikurasa |
(as it could ultimately benefit the community) |
20:55 |
Bharath_Joshi |
I guess this would be useful and profitable as it has been in other sectors..for example game streamers in youtube |
20:55 |
pikurasa |
ANy more to discuss on this topic? |
20:55 |
walterbender |
I think we can distinguish between donations to the project as a whole and targeted grants... this proposal seems to be about the former |
20:55 |
MrBIOS |
correct, we're talking small, individual donations here |
20:55 |
pikurasa |
NPO's do not use the word "profitable", fyi |
20:56 |
Quozl |
i've not seen how funding we _have_ received has been of clear benefit to the community. we don't report on how we spend the moneys. |
20:56 |
Bharath_Joshi |
@pi i'm sorry'=D |
20:56 |
MrBIOS |
well, historically, we're really bad at spending the money |
20:56 |
walterbender |
Quozl, largely we have not spent the money |
20:56 |
Favour |
Okay I have this to drop here so we could know how this works https://github.blog/2019-05-23[…]e-to-open-source/ |
20:56 |
MrBIOS |
and that's a different issue |
20:56 |
|
Favour, thanks |
20:56 |
Quozl |
llaske: cue mention of travel here. ;-) |

SFC made it very difficult for me to run workshops with the Trip Advisor money so I largely paid out of pocket |
20:57 |
pikurasa |
Speaking of spending money, I have not seen proposals for FOSS con (correct me if I am mistaken) |
20:57 |
MrBIOS |
pikurasa I haven't sent it, and at this point, I think I'll just eat it. |
20:57 |
Favour |
I think its FOSSDEM |
20:57 |
walterbender |
We do occasionally fund translation work (Aymara) from the Trip Advisor grant |
20:57 |
MrBIOS |
FOSDEM, yes |
20:57 |
walterbender |
would love broader coverage for i18n |
20:57 |
llaske |
Quozl: :-D |
20:57 |
Quozl |
so, does the board wish to decide anything on changing our donor options to the newfangled taxed-by-an-intermediary arrangements? |
20:57 |
pikurasa |
I/we also need to develop our own policies for reimbursements (which we can do at the 1023 workshop, if we have time) |
20:58 |
Quozl |
or could i say commissioned fundraising agents? |
20:58 |
walterbender |
Quozl, I think we need to do some homework re $ to newco before proceeding |
20:58 |
|
can we task pikurasa with that? |
20:58 |
MrBIOS |
agreed, but yes, we need to do that homework soonish, so we can get that ball rolling |
20:58 |
walterbender |
but otherwise, I am in favor of what Favour and Bharath_Joshi have in minf |
20:59 |
|
mind |
20:59 |
MrBIOS |
same, in favor in principle as well |
20:59 |
Quozl |
once we have one of the web fundraising agents engaged, they provide html we can inject. |
20:59 |
walterbender |
Bharath_Joshi, can you report back re the org-level tools? |
21:00 |
pikurasa |
my "task pikurasa", I am happy to take lead, but I need help |
21:00 |
Quozl |
(for the record, before the meeting i restarted the meeting bot, but it was not necessary; i had used the wrong command). |
21:00 |
pikurasa |
needs to go. My son is not going to take care of himself any longer. |
21:00 |
MrBIOS |
I need to get moving as well, unfortunately |
21:00 |
pikurasa |
Quozl: thanks for the note |
21:00 |
Bharath_Joshi |
Yeah, the org-level sponsorship button is still in testing, would revert immediately if it comes out of the beta versioon |
21:00 |
Quozl |
okay, i move to close the meeting. all in favour? |
