[22:54:39] [connected at Thu May 23 22:54:39 2019] [22:54:50] [I have joined #xf-bod] [22:55:09] * danvet didn't screw up the scrip change [22:55:11] <danvet> yay! [22:56:28] <mdnavare> Manasi reporting to her first board meeting! [22:56:40] <danvet> mdnavare, welcome! [22:56:45] <danvet> 4' early though :-) [22:56:48] <Lyude> Hey mdnavare! congrats on getting on the board :) [22:56:55] * danvet just prepping agenda and stuff [22:57:17] <mdnavare> Lyude: Thanks and Congrats to you too! Looking forward to working with you [22:57:23] <Lyude> same! [22:57:23] <mdnavare> danvet: Thanks :) [23:00:19] <danvet> hi all! [23:00:37] <tlwoerner> hello [23:02:16] <danvet> hwentlan, bryce keithp around too? [23:02:21] <danvet> afaik samuelig said he can't attend [23:02:33] <danvet> and anholt is at some burning man thing in portland and probably without connection [23:03:16] <tlwoerner> wow, really? he just started a new job and on holidays already?! [23:03:30] <hwentlan> hi [23:05:26] <danvet> cool, I guess we have quorum [23:05:34] <danvet> Agenda: treasurer report, board transition, gsco/evoc, xdc cfp/page/sponsors, [23:05:34] <danvet> credentials, fdo merger, extended travel sponsoring [23:05:36] <danvet> anything to add? [23:06:05] <Lyude> lgtm [23:06:13] <danvet> oh and update: next meeting will be 7 pm UTC [23:06:14] <mdnavare> sounds good [23:06:27] <danvet> the /topic should be updated with the script now [23:06:35] <danvet> so treasurer report [23:06:47] <danvet> I hope everyone read anholt's draft v2 so we can approve it here [23:07:38] <danvet> or questions, comments? [23:07:39] <Lyude> I've read it at least [23:07:44] <Lyude> looked fine to me [23:08:16] <mdnavare> danvet: Sorry too many things to catch up on after vacation so havent had a chance to read it yet [23:08:29] <mdnavare> danvet: I can do that today right after the meeting and give inputs [23:08:44] <danvet> mdnavare, well either now or the thing doesn't go out for another 2 weeks [23:08:51] <danvet> board needs to approve per vote [23:08:52] * hwentlan is still reading the report [23:09:04] <danvet> it's a tradition to read material on in the meeting :-) [23:09:35] <danvet> mdnavare, "draft treasurer's report for voting" on the board list [23:10:21] <mdnavare> danvet: Ok will read now, its on the M-L right/ [23:10:22] <mdnavare> ? [23:10:31] <hwentlan> yup, on the board mailing list [23:10:38] <mdnavare> got it [23:12:41] <hwentlan> we might get questions on the "unknown outreach" item but i feel we did our due diligence and explained it in the report [23:12:49] <hwentlan> so, lgtm [23:13:00] <danvet> yeah, we're a bit beholden to spi here [23:13:28] <danvet> and spi is working on improving the situation [23:13:37] <danvet> or at least throwing ideas around [23:16:02] <mdnavare> looks good to me, is this draft the right place to talk about the details of basis of travel sponsorship grants? [23:16:59] <mdnavare> It says 6 sponsorships not sure if it makes sense to give some detail on how these 6 were chosen [23:17:05] <danvet> mdnavare, what do you mean? [23:17:13] <danvet> we approved all we got [23:17:29] <danvet> I mean we could have blown through 20k more and still some change left [23:17:43] <mdnavare> danvet: Okay so may be that should be stated, that we approved all the requests that we got which was 6 total [23:17:49] <danvet> that's why we're expanding the travel sponsoring for this year [23:18:07] <danvet> mdnavare, do we need to make that edit? [23:18:13] <danvet> 2 week delay and all that ... [23:18:26] <mdnavare> not that crucial in that case [23:18:50] <danvet> (we actually approved a lot more travel, but they didn't take it because complicated reasons) [23:18:56] <danvet> so anyone up for formal voting? [23:19:05] <danvet> anholt's report approved as-is? [23:19:11] <Lyude> ay [23:19:24] <hwentlan> ay [23:19:26] <mdnavare> Ack [23:19:34] <danvet> oh new voting style, I better get used to that [23:19:36] * danvet ay [23:19:39] <danvet> and done [23:19:49] <danvet> yay, don't need to rewrite my minutes that I prepped :-) [23:20:09] <danvet> mdnavare, hwentlan board transition, all done? [23:20:51] <mdnavare> danvet: Did i have any specific ARs on that? [23:21:27] <danvet> hwentlan had [23:21:42] <danvet> mdnavare, and we call them just actions in the minutes here [23:21:43] <hwentlan> was done by the end of last meeting [23:21:45] <hwentlan> so, yes [23:21:51] <danvet> ah cool [23:22:16] <danvet> mdnavare, https://www.x.org/wiki/BoardOfDirectors/Duties/ <- I guess you've seen this? [23:22:35] <danvet> tlwoerner, gsoc/evoc update? [23:22:45] <mdnavare> danvet: Yes [23:22:47] <tlwoerner> I have had meetings with all participants, everyone still seems to be involved and staying [23:22:54] <tlwoerner> Khaled is still in process of getting dragonboard410c, power supply, and serial console [23:23:02] <tlwoerner> all of which will not be straight-forward, but hopefully the pieces will arrive soon (issues with customs) [23:23:03] <danvet> do we need to sponsor hw? [23:23:11] <danvet> or all ok? [23:23:17] <danvet> (we have in the past) [23:23:28] <tlwoerner> we told him to buy the stuff and he would be reimbursed [23:23:38] <tlwoerner> so yes, if we could sponsor that would be great [23:24:12] <danvet> yeah should be no problem [23:24:18] <tlwoerner> great, thanks [23:24:21] <tlwoerner> 2 out of 3 have started blogging (I still need to figure out how to add them to the fd.o planet) [23:24:27] <danvet> better process is estimate and ask board upfront, but I assume this is not going to break the bank [23:24:35] <danvet> so just recipe when they have it all [23:24:45] <tlwoerner> receipt? [23:24:52] <danvet> yeah [23:25:32] <mdnavare> danvet: For the duties, do we need to put our names agaianst specific ones or you asisgn them? [23:25:38] <tlwoerner> okay, he's been keeping us informed on the costs, and it all seems legit. he has a digikey in Egypt so that makes shipping etc sensible [23:25:41] <danvet> this is a volunteer org [23:25:53] <tlwoerner> community bonding ends may 27, which is when coding (officially) starts [23:25:55] <danvet> mdnavare, iirc you said you want to help out with gsco and stuff, so chat with tlwoerner [23:26:23] <tlwoerner> is mdnavare on the evoc M-L? [23:26:30] <anholt_> Hi! I'm here for a bit now, though I also have baby care and will be distracted [23:26:59] <tlwoerner> hello anholt_ :-) [23:27:11] <danvet> anholt_, treasurer report approved as-is [23:27:15] <danvet> not much else thus far [23:27:27] <mdnavare> tlwoerner: I have been getting emails about evoc so I guess I am [23:27:32] <danvet> tlwoerner, https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorgfoundation/blog <- blogs on here or different plan? [23:27:36] <anholt_> excellent, I can send out on Tuesday unless someone wants to send in my stead [23:27:38] <tlwoerner> mdnavare: okay [23:27:51] <danvet> mdnavare, it's different from board@ [23:27:59] <danvet> there's a bunch of evoc mail also on board@ [23:28:07] <Lyude> danvet: who should I talk to in order to get started with the secretary work btw? I'm assuming hwentlan? [23:28:16] <danvet> anholt_, plenty fast enough on Tue imo [23:28:29] <tlwoerner> danvet: i'll check with mupuf_, he mentioned the fd.o planet, but i agree moving to gitlab would be good too [23:28:32] <mdnavare> danvet: tlwoerner: I am getting emails from evoc@foundation.x.org [23:28:45] <danvet> ok [23:28:49] <mdnavare> danvet: I would also be interested in XDC organizer [23:28:58] <tlwoerner> danvet: the students have RSS feeds, so if we can pick those up that would be the easiest [23:29:05] <tlwoerner> danvet: i'll take an action to investigate [23:29:13] <danvet> Lyude, I guess we could chat, but it's pretty much just running this meeting here [23:29:18] <danvet> plus looking officially [23:29:32] <danvet> that part is the yearly report and occasionaly mail [23:29:35] <danvet> plus liason with spi [23:29:55] <danvet> everything else is other stuff that the secretary can wiggle out of [23:30:02] <Lyude> I figured it would be something like that :), we can talk a bit after [23:30:15] <Lyude> also I don't mind helping with non-secretary stuff as well wherever I can [23:30:42] <danvet> yeah just volunteer there's plenty random stuff [23:31:13] <danvet> tlwoerner, noted [23:31:19] * danvet chaos in the meeting [23:31:47] <danvet> mdnavare, so you're also volunteering to help out with evoc/gsoc stuff? [23:32:22] <danvet> if yes I'll just note that you figure this all out yourself and chat with trevor and add you on the duties wiki page ... [23:32:59] <mdnavare> danvet: Actually I was thinking this year I will help out with XDC organizer stuff and help with gsoc stuff next year as this summer I am mentoring our local intern so staying pretty busy with that [23:33:51] <mdnavare> dont want to overcommit and not deliver [23:35:25] <danvet> mdnavare, gsoc/evoc isn't about mentoring, but coordinating mentors/students [23:35:35] <danvet> you can do both ofc [23:36:09] <danvet> on xdc stuff samuelig is helping out already, so if time is lacking you can also just coast :-) [23:36:12] <mdnavare> danvet: oh okay in that case count me in on both then [23:36:17] <danvet> cool [23:36:31] <danvet> no editing of preemptive minutes :-) [23:36:39] <mdnavare> tlwoerner: Please let me know how can I help out with evoc/gsoc [23:36:48] <danvet> tlwoerner, mdnavare so all good on evoc/gsoc or anything more? [23:36:52] <tlwoerner> mdnavare: okay, i'll email you [23:37:01] <mdnavare> great! [23:37:01] <tlwoerner> danvet: that's all for today [23:37:14] <danvet> thx [23:37:20] <danvet> oh .. [23:37:38] <danvet> tlwoerner, mdnavare xdc cfp is open, please make sure past interns submit proposals [23:37:50] <tlwoerner> danvet: okay [23:37:54] <danvet> half-slot talk or lightning talk is what we usually accept [23:38:08] <mdnavare> yup [23:38:19] <danvet> we had 2 outreachy in drm this winter and I think still some interns from summer who didn't attend xdc [23:38:24] <mdnavare> should I reach to our past outreachy interns to submit proposals as well? [23:38:35] <tlwoerner> mdnavare: yes please :-) [23:38:37] <danvet> and pls make it clear that the xdc travel grant is on top of whatever they get from gsoc/outreachy for conferences [23:39:01] <mdnavare> ok [23:39:14] <danvet> ok, now xdc cfp/sponsors/page [23:39:28] <danvet> samuel, mark filion from collabora and me polished that thing quite a bit and it's public now [23:39:34] <danvet> CFP closes 7th July [23:39:46] <danvet> will probably be extended, but that's when we make talk selections and stuff [23:40:01] <tlwoerner> the website looks great! [23:40:42] <danvet> if you spot typos or anything else that needs improving, pls report [23:41:02] <danvet> aside from the travel page (which still needs more content, maybe) it should be all good [23:41:14] <danvet> we also somewhat tested the new review flow, hopefully should work too [23:44:08] <mdnavare> The site looks excellent [23:44:30] <danvet> also we're haggling with more sponsors [23:44:44] <danvet> any questions? [23:45:20] <tlwoerner> nope [23:45:59] <danvet> credentials [23:46:30] <danvet> except samuelig no one replied, so I think we'll just go with the first option I proposed [23:46:44] <danvet> i.e. git cryp of some text files in Credentials [23:46:55] <danvet> hwentlan, can you start that and fill in the mailman admin pw? [23:47:02] <danvet> ^please^ [23:47:12] <hwentlan> will do [23:47:25] <hwentlan> haven't had time yet but should be able to add that by next meeting [23:47:46] <danvet> thx [23:47:53] <danvet> fdo merger [23:48:13] <danvet> imo just read emails while I type a short summary :-) [23:48:59] <danvet> most important bit: spi meeting adjourned, next attempt 10th july [23:49:01] <danvet> Lyude, ^^ [23:49:27] <Lyude> danvet:the one on june 10th right?

[23:50:47] <danvet> or anyone feel like? [23:51:15] <hwentlan> i imagine that could be a longer discussion. might be best to wait until next meeting [23:51:25] <danvet> yeah [23:51:30] <danvet> also full board, hopefully [23:51:35] <hwentlan> there's a lot in there. thanks danvet for throwing that together [23:51:48] <danvet> also pls comment on board@ if you have time [23:51:53] <danvet> thx to those who did already [23:52:32] <tlwoerner> i don't follow what topic "sage pinged me" is for? spi? [23:52:53] <danvet> I sent them a mail [23:53:01] <danvet> stuff that happens on board@ around fd.o merger details [23:53:18] <danvet> I also annoyed jimmy from spi and a few other people last week :-) [23:53:39] <danvet> tlwoerner, hosting policy draft is on the wiki [23:53:45] <danvet> https://www.x.org/wiki/XorgFoundation/Policies/Hosting/ [23:53:51] <danvet> if you're _really_ bored :-) [23:53:55] <tlwoerner> danvet: okay, thanks :-) [23:54:17] <danvet> it's about as entertaining to read as our bylaws [23:55:05] <tlwoerner> lol [23:55:18] <danvet> hm just realized I got the headings wrong [23:55:32] <danvet> the major ones are small [23:55:40] <danvet> ok final one: extended travel policy [23:56:07] <danvet> https://xdc2019.x.org/event/5/page/36-travel-grants <- would be nice to write something spiffy here and make some PR for this [23:56:22] <danvet> mark filion is pretty cool to work together with for marketing things [23:56:30] <danvet> someone up for that? [23:56:55] <mdnavare> I could work with Mark on this [23:57:06] <danvet> cool [23:58:38] <danvet> mdnavare, the idea is to try to get new people to xdc so goal would be to make this reach far and wide [23:59:00] <danvet> and the "you need a talk submitted" part is more a "pls explain why you need to be at xdc in a ligthning talk thing [23:59:05] <danvet> (my opinion at least) [23:59:07] <danvet> anything else? [23:59:12] <danvet> 1' of meeting left [23:59:22] <tlwoerner> nope [23:59:27] <mdnavare> nope [23:59:32] <danvet> Lyude, hwentlan anholt_ ?
