[11:58:38] [I have joined #xf-bod]
[11:59:38] <Lyude> Hey everyone, time for roll call: emersion, ivyl, mfilion, Eighth_Doctor, pono 
[11:59:45] <ivyl> o/
[12:00:19] <pono> heya!
[12:00:59] <pono> ccccccgcdkeincdfiiirdvtkjlehkltgvkjbnrihjhtb
[12:01:14] <Lyude> what kind of cat do you have
[12:01:35] <pono> the proprietary kind :(
[12:01:45] <Lyude> Oh haha
[12:01:51] <ivyl> is their name FIOD2 ?
[12:02:01] <pono> how'd you know?! ;)
[12:03:28] <mfilion> o/
[12:03:44] <ivyl> ^^
[12:04:34] <Lyude> So I guess the agenda for today: XDC, and I guess checking whether we've got any work that still needs to get done with SFC
[12:04:49] <Lyude> emersion: we already got a response with the x.org domain stuff right?
[12:05:47] <mfilion> ha that was aninteresting response too, I guess we'll see (for the domain)
[12:06:04] <Eighth_Doctor> Yo!
[12:06:17] <mfilion> for XDC not much to report on, the website is done, CfP & registration open. sent a reminder earlier this week and will send some in the coming weeks too
[12:06:31] <mfilion> recording & streaming is sorted, same vendor as last time
[12:07:03] <mfilion> just need to sort out coffee & breakfast options, and still looking at possible venues for welcome event
[12:07:24] <ivyl> Nice, I've seen the emails. Thanks for handling this! I'm working on proposing a talk :-)
[12:07:48] <Lyude> Gotcha. Do we have any updates regarding the RFP for next year btw?
[12:10:39] <Lyude> or was sima the one handling that?
[12:11:19] * Eighth_Doctor wonders if the board is expected to be at XDC
[12:11:29] <mfilion> We had some movement there from Arm for next year, so hopefully we'll get some news soon
[12:11:44] <Lyude> Eighth_Doctor: it's strongly encouraged to come but I don't think it's mandatory, I had to miss last XDC myself
[12:12:07] <Eighth_Doctor> I'm debating it mostly from a cost point of view
[12:12:08] <mfilion> Eighth_Doctor not "expected", but we usually have a board meeting during XDC, so it's the one yearly occasion to have an in-person meeting
[12:12:33] <Lyude> We do host it on jitsi as well (...assuming jitsi is still a thing and we won't have to use something else)
[12:12:37] <Eighth_Doctor> I would certainly like to be there, but... 💸
[12:13:34] <Lyude> I guess that leaves SFC, pono is there anything that's still needed form our side (e.g. has everyone already sent the disclosure agreement and such?)
[12:14:13] <pono> I think they've all been sent in, I'll check with Tracy about that and reach out to the folks who haven't sent them in.
[12:14:39] <mfilion> you can get some pretty good deals on flights if you book early Eighth_Doctor. any chance your employer can sponsor some of it?
[12:14:39] <pono> We're still waiting to hear back from SPI about funds, so hopefully that happens soonish.
[12:14:54] <Lyude> pono: sounds good
[12:15:09] <Eighth_Doctor> mfilion: I am self-employed
[12:15:11] <pono> I'm really busy this week and next with FOSSY (our conference), but after that I'll work on getting a blog post up about y'all joining.
[12:15:24] <Eighth_Doctor> Lyude: I have to sign, I am making new GPG keys and everything today
[12:15:29] <Lyude> Eighth_Doctor: gotcha
[12:15:47] * Eighth_Doctor lost his private key in a system failure apparently
[12:16:09] <Eighth_Doctor> definitely taking backups this time
[12:16:28] <mfilion> Eighth_Doctor oh ok. anyway we can look at options, maybe we can find some sponsor budget for you. you're in the US, east coast, right?
[12:16:44] <Eighth_Doctor> yes, just outside of NYC
[12:17:47] <mfilion> lol so other than me, you're the closest board member to XDC, by far!
[12:18:07] <Eighth_Doctor> hah
[12:18:08] <Lyude> Anyway - I think then it's a pretty short meeting today unless I missed anything ^^, I think that was it though
[12:18:55] <Eighth_Doctor> I think I'm somewhat close to Lyude too actually
[12:19:02] <pono> Sounds good. Hope everyone is having a good summer :)
[12:19:05] <Eighth_Doctor> though we've never met 😅
[12:19:07] <Lyude> yeah I'm in massachusetts so I'm not far :P
[12:19:20] <Eighth_Doctor> almost did once, but alas
[12:20:23] <mfilion> ha that's true, for some reason I thought lyude as west coast
[12:21:18] <Eighth_Doctor> where are you?
[12:21:28] <Eighth_Doctor> I'm in southwestern CT
[12:21:49] <mfilion> I'm in montreal
[12:21:57] <ivyl> south coast here
[12:22:01] <ivyl> ... of Finland
[12:22:11] <Eighth_Doctor> welp
[12:22:22] <mfilion> $230 USD round trip from NY, not bad at all
[12:22:38] <Eighth_Doctor> yeah the flight is going to be easy enough
[12:22:59] <Eighth_Doctor> and I'm looking at hotels
[12:23:49] <emersion> Lyude: yes
[12:25:36] <mfilion> airbnbs are a good option too
[12:26:16] <mfilion> oh and Sonder too
[12:26:28] <emersion> Lyude: they will renew the domain it seems, but for the transfer it's unclear it'll happen anytime soon
[12:27:03] <mfilion> sonder has a place right across from xdc
[12:27:15] <mfilion> 130 usd/night
[12:27:32] <emersion> fwiw, I don't think I'll come to XDC, given my dayjob is something unrelated and the CO2 cost is too high
[12:32:56] <mfilion> with the forest fires we have now, airplane CO2 is far from being a problem lol.... just last year, the forest fires here created the equivalent of 4 times the CO2 produced from all planes in a year, or the equivalent of 647 million cars
[13:28:30] <Eighth_Doctor> Lyude: do you think you'll be at DevConf.US? I'm going to be there, it'd be great to meet up.
[13:28:52] <Lyude> Eighth_Doctor: unfortunately I don't think so, XDC is the only dev conference I'll be going to
[13:32:12] <Eighth_Doctor> aww that's too bad
[13:32:23] <Eighth_Doctor> well, if you're in the boston area at that time, I'm going to be around
[14:20:38] <Lyude> Eighth_Doctor: oh! I did not realize it was both happening in boston ad sponsored by my employer Lol
[14:24:44] <emersion> mfilion: oh we can just stop caring about the whole thing then
[14:30:43] <Eighth_Doctor> Lyude: yes it is :)
[14:31:09] <Lyude> Eighth_Doctor: I will see if I can attend!
[14:31:19] <Eighth_Doctor> that's awesome
[14:32:31] <Eighth_Doctor> Lyude: just took care of the PLC disclosure
[14:36:15] <Lyude> Eighth_Doctor: thanks!
[14:36:45] <Eighth_Doctor> so that should be everyone since I was the laggard
[02:58:48] <sima> Lyude, I kinda wanted to update our policies, but last two weeks were complete garbage :-/
[02:59:17] <sima> Eighth_Doctor, Lyude ivyl, rg3igalia thx a lot :-D
[09:07:53] <sima> Lyude, did something fail with the script since I'm not seeing the minutes anywhere?
[13:37:34] <Lyude> sima: agh sorry! I forgot to type the summary up and send them out last night because I went out for an appointment
[13:37:39] <Lyude> i'll be sending them in just a moment though
