[22:40:51] [connected at Thu Feb 28 22:40:51 2019] [22:41:02] [I have joined #xf-bod] [23:00:39] <tlwoerner> hello [23:00:45] <bryce> o/ [23:00:49] <hwentlan> hi everyone [23:01:21] <danvet> hi all! [23:01:23] <mupuf> hi :) [23:04:34] <danvet> keithp, anholt around too? [23:04:49] <danvet> Agenda: elections, evoc, gsoc, members.x.org, treasurer, xdc sponsors [23:04:53] <danvet> ^^ anything to add? [23:05:24] <keithp> yup, I'm here [23:06:22] <danvet> ok, I guess we'll start [23:06:27] <danvet> hwentlan, elections? [23:06:46] <hwentlan> we got 6 nominees, 3 with the same affiliation [23:07:08] <danvet> sounds like a proper election! [23:07:32] <hwentlan> i'll send confirmations of the nominations after this meeting, as well as a reminder that the membership signup period closes next thursday [23:07:54] <hwentlan> i'll also create a proper 2019 elections page on the wiki which i probably should've done weeks ago [23:08:08] <mupuf> hwentlan: make sure all admins on the membership website stop accepting people after that then ;) [23:08:24] <hwentlan> will send a reminder [23:08:46] <danvet> hwentlan, link isn't updated yet? [23:08:49] <hwentlan> is there a way to stop new registrations after that date? [23:08:51] <danvet> https://www.x.org/wiki/BoardOfDirectors/Elections/ <- here [23:08:52] <robclark> hi.. sorry a bit late [23:09:10] <hwentlan> nope [23:09:21] <mupuf> hwentlan: there is no such feature, danvet said it was a human problem [23:09:34] <hwentlan> cool. human problem works for me [23:09:36] <danvet> yeah we solved that with humans being really lazy in the past :-) [23:09:40] <bryce> hah [23:09:48] <danvet> just remember to be extra lazy while elections are on [23:09:59] <keithp> I think most of us can comply with that [23:10:06] <danvet> (usually I get the reminders I think, at least with the old thing) [23:10:15] <danvet> yeah that's a process xorg can get behind [23:10:20] <mupuf> yeah, but we need to be reminded, now that more than 1 person are doing it [23:10:50] <danvet> hwentlan, so where is that famous election page? [23:10:52] * danvet can't find it [23:11:01] * mupuf had the same problem [23:11:33] <hwentlan> danvet, there is none yet [23:11:45] <hwentlan> i neglected to create one and will remedy that by this weekend [23:12:15] <hwentlan> current election points currently to the 2018 page [23:12:42] <danvet> ah ok [23:12:46] <danvet> yeah got confused [23:12:59] <danvet> anything else on elections? [23:13:43] <hwentlan> nope, that's basically it [23:14:02] <hwentlan> the names will be announced next week [23:14:24] <hwentlan> the entire elections committee should already have received the nominations and should be aware of the names [23:14:37] <hwentlan> if there are any objections let me know [23:14:49] <keithp> thanks for your work so far [23:15:21] <danvet> sounds all good then [23:15:36] <bryce> yes, thank you and mupuf, it's seems to be going smoothly [23:15:49] <danvet> we had some note about evoc, but that was just about confirmation letters [23:15:56] <mupuf> bryce: don't thank me yet, the website has not been doing much yet! [23:15:58] <danvet> anything else? [23:16:55] <hwentlan> bryce, didn't see you sign-up for membership again... is that a requirement for members of the board? [23:17:02] <robclark> I don't really have update on EVoC.. I think I still have an action item to update the wiki about 'part time' EVoC projects, but I've not had a chance to do that yet [23:17:17] <mupuf> hwentlan: yes, it is [23:18:04] <danvet> robclark, ok I'll drop it from the agenda then until something comes up [23:18:25] <robclark> ok, feel free to carry over the action item from last mtgs minutes [23:18:30] <bryce> hwentlan, ah sorry I will do that; been preoccupied lately must have missed the notice [23:18:47] <danvet> robclark, I didn't even have that one on there yet [23:18:59] <danvet> I tend to age items a bit to declutter the agenda :-) [23:19:00] <hwentlan> bryce, no worries, should be really simple thanks to mupuf's work [23:19:01] <robclark> oh, heh, ok.. [23:19:02] <mupuf> bryce: no worries, you can do it now. It is pretty fast [23:19:10] <danvet> also, I'm not terribly good at keeping track of things [23:19:23] <danvet> tlwoerner, mupuf gsoc? [23:19:36] <mupuf> danvet: tlwoerner has been doing everything so far [23:19:46] [disconnected at Thu Feb 28 23:19:46 2019] * secretary has quit (Remote host closed the connection) <mupuf> but if he is not here, I am happy to report <tlwoerner> as you've all probably seen by now, x.org has been accepted into google's 2019 gsoc <danvet> oops, closed wrong window <danvet> :-) <danvet> now I get to patch the logs afterwards :-/ <tlwoerner> https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/ <tlwoerner> i need to update and send out the mentor email to the various relevant mailing lists looking for projects/mentors <danvet> tlwoerner, nice, thanks for doing this all <tlwoerner> i noticed this in the bugzilla [https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freedesktop/freedesktop/issues/76] and thought it could be relevant * anholt_ (~ericanhol@2603:3004:61f:7f00:d89:af12:e3b1:49b0) has joined <danvet> yeah we're not great at this ... <bryce> mupuf, do I need to sign up new, or should I already be in the system? members.x.org doesn't recognize my email address, wondering if it's my old address <mupuf> bryce: no, you need to sign up again <mupuf> I did not import the old database <tlwoerner> i might end up assigning that issue to myself and poking it along somewhat <bryce> aha! ok thanks <danvet> we made the thing more gdpr compliant by not remembering anything :-) <danvet> tlwoerner, sounds great <tlwoerner> that's all for now. i'm planning on sending out the email by next week <danvet> mupuf, members.x.org running smoothly? <mupuf> danvet: pretty much, yeah <mupuf> will need to do some development tasks, but that's minor <danvet> mupuf, should I keep it on the agenda, or close enough to done? <mupuf> danvet: yeah, no need to discuss anything <mupuf> I made sure the website was ready before we voted on it <mupuf> so... should be good! <mupuf> and if not, the gitlab issue tracker is a better place <danvet> awesome, really great work <danvet> yeah <danvet> I'll laud you appropriately in the minutes and drop it * danvet does a rare "Status: Done" update <keithp> whoa. don't get over excited <danvet> it's late, I have excuses <mupuf> keithp: +1 :D The tool has not been demonstrated when used by a lot of users ;) <mupuf> they always find way of screwing things up :p <danvet> anholt, around for treasurer update? <anholt_> got distracted by baby <anholt_> haven't had a response from spi yet about the handoff, not sure they unmoderated my email <bryce> they do tend to be slow about things <danvet> yeah ping again after a week or so ... <anholt_> followed the arm sponsorship email chain. sounds like that's probably sorted out but spi asked arm for verification. <bryce> anholt_, did you get the handoff email I'd written up last year? I can dig it up and resend it <anholt_> Bryce: haven't seen it, but may have it somewhere. <danvet> anholt_, I also got a mail to close the amd one, so I think all xdc18 sponsors are closed now <anholt_> excellent <danvet> one thing martin pinged me about is that the final check from bofa->spi is still lost <danvet> and martin can't get hold of stuart <danvet> I pinged alanc for updated contact info if he has it <danvet> iirc it's ~250USD, maybe just time to write it off? <danvet> iirc bryce has already tried to get hold of this one for over a year <anholt> bryce: I see the dec 2 handoff email. <bryce> anholt ok great <anholt> I'm inclined to write off at this point, but could follow up if we want <danvet> anholt, added you on that rt ticket (but I'm not sure whether cc: works with that) <bryce> ah there was another on dec 6th I'll send, that is more detailed <danvet> anholt, I'll wait for alanc, but yeah if we don't find anything then I'd write it off next meeting * anholt_ has quit (Quit: -a- IRC for Android 2.1.47) <danvet> I guess back to wrangling the baby <keithp> or napping <keithp> agree that we can't wait forever <anholt> any other things that should be on my radar for treasuring? <danvet> or irc is funny <bryce> anholt, yeah there's a list in the email I'm forwarding <anholt> great <danvet> anholt, I still haven't gotten around to poking xdc19 sponsors, been dragging my feet a bit <danvet> and treasurer report is up (if you have all the data from spi for 2018) <danvet> bryce, https://www.x.org/wiki/BoardOfDirectors/Duties/ <- do we have all the standing tasks here? <danvet> xdc sponsor update I already mentioned above, google is a bit hard to get hold off, but marcheu promised to chase that up and help fix the confusion I created <danvet> anything else? <bryce> danvet, yep looks like it covers the basics. learning ledger and the reimbursement/invoice process I suppose could be documented, but just something I guess you learn by doing <anholt> yeah, I had a personal todo of trying out ledge <anholt> r <bryce> I don't know if spi's 2018 data has posted yet. I probably wouldn't bug them much until late March <anholt> I saw they're sorting out their own behind-on-treasuring stuff. <danvet> yeah they have plans to hire a part time admin for this stuff <keithp> I've been using ledger for a couple of months <bryce> yeah, perennial problem I guess <keithp> turns out volunteers are terrible at accounting <danvet> since spi seems to have grown to the point where that's a good thing to keep the show running <bryce> the ledger file is plain text btw, and a super simple format. I have generally just hand added records there, and use the CLI just for report generation. For xorg purposes I think that should be just fine. <danvet> ok, looks like that's all <keithp> I've used the emacs mode with some success too <danvet> thanks everyone for joining <bryce> there's also a python ledger module, not very well documented but I've been experimenting with it and it seems better than hand hacking bash scripts for report generation. YMMV. <danvet> assuming the ledger discussion here isn't really for the minutes ... <bryce> sorry <danvet> don't worry, just want to make sure it's ok if I hit send
