2019-02-27 21:01:58<franktrampe> Hello, everybody.
2019-02-27 21:02:42<franktrampe> Just a reminder to skim the SPI letter so that we can talk about it later in the meeting.
2019-02-27 21:03:52<houz> hey
2019-02-27 21:04:34<houz> that one? Application_Letter_20190226_2.pdf
2019-02-27 21:04:56<franktrampe> Yes.
2019-02-27 21:05:42<pippin> hi
2019-02-27 21:05:57<franktrampe> There is an in-person SPI board meeting this Friday, and we can get on the agenda if we get the letter in by then.
2019-02-27 21:06:27<houz> sgtm
2019-02-27 21:07:10<franktrampe> The arrangement is totally non-exclusive, so, if it turns out to be non-useful, we simply don't use it. Sort of a win-win.
2019-02-27 21:07:49<franktrampe> I'd encourage others to read the SPI associated projects page and the draft letter so that we can hold a formal vote at the end of the meeting.
2019-02-27 21:08:32<houz> we also need some (corporate) sponsorship info on the website
2019-02-27 21:09:11<franktrampe> That brings up another question. Logistically speaking, did we ever reach an arrangement with K8 to handle global funds beyond this year?
2019-02-27 21:09:29<a-l-e> hi... i don't think that a formal vote should be done in irc. way too few people around.
2019-02-27 21:09:51<franktrampe> Yes, but nobody ever votes on the mailing list either.
2019-02-27 21:10:15<a-l-e> still, if there is a vote it should be first announced on the ML in advance.
2019-02-27 21:10:21<franktrampe> It seemed like it took a month of hammering last time we held an asynchronous vote.
2019-02-27 21:10:46<franktrampe> In this case, it's a highly inconsequential matter with no downside, and I did announce on the mailing list.
2019-02-27 21:11:10<franktrampe> I'm happy to hold another mailing list vote tomorrow, but we need at least to have a consensus here before we do that.
2019-02-27 21:12:01<franktrampe> For what it's worth, this is just an application. We are not obliged to accept the SPI partnership if the application is accepted.
2019-02-27 21:12:32<franktrampe> We might even hold that it's already approved under the vote to pursue the partnership.
2019-02-27 21:12:53<franktrampe> I just want to make sure that we don't miss this opportunity and let it slide another year.
2019-02-27 21:13:56<houz> i'm with frank there
2019-02-27 21:13:59* Aude_K8 (uid337527@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-wvuwmssnryhsyvsp) has joined
2019-02-27 21:14:11<houz> hey Aude_K8
2019-02-27 21:14:20<Aude_K8> hi, sorry for the delay
2019-02-27 21:14:33<franktrampe> No worries. Just discussing the SPI application.
2019-02-27 21:15:22<franktrampe> We have a Friday deadline, and, out of caution, we want to hold a vote on the application and the liaison appointment.
2019-02-27 21:15:51<franktrampe> I'm happy with an IRC vote, but a-l-e would like to defer to the mailing list.
2019-02-27 21:16:01<pippin> Aude_K8: thanks a lot for putting together the draft schedule :)
2019-02-27 21:16:35<franktrampe> My proposal is that we hammer out something that we all like today and have a mailing list vote with a cut-off tomorrow at some time.
2019-02-27 21:17:00<franktrampe> But let's do local organization stuff first and get back to that later.
2019-02-27 21:18:10<houz> did everyone look over the proposed schedule?
2019-02-27 21:18:22<houz> link is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TJF4_w09xCkG6aOfZQxsyw7WzYwrfGX6R9e9dnZXj2M/edit#gid=0
2019-02-27 21:18:42<houz> (yes, i pasted that in public irc on purpose)
2019-02-27 21:19:22<pippin> franktrampe: a formal decision by "lgm" is only really possible to do at lgm - besides todays meeting is about schedule planning and is not a generic lgm-meeting
2019-02-27 21:19:25<a-l-e> (btw, is the 30.5 an holiday in saarland, too?)
2019-02-27 21:19:35<houz> yes
2019-02-27 21:19:37<Aude_K8> the schedule is tight, but we have a lot of talks and workshops.
2019-02-27 21:20:05<gingercoons_> in general, it looks like a pretty nice schedule so far
2019-02-27 21:20:48<pippin> Aude_K8: what type thoughts have gone into ordering of talks/clusters of talks thus far?
2019-02-27 21:21:05<a-l-e> it's a bit hard to say, since i only see part of the title + the "track"...
2019-02-27 21:21:21<a-l-e> for the beginning, i'm not 100% sure that the first two talks are the best for starting.
2019-02-27 21:21:26<houz> we put the education ones to friday morning so that (in theory) teachers from the region could come
2019-02-27 21:21:32<pippin> a-l-e: agree
2019-02-27 21:21:43<gingercoons_> another +1 on a-l-e's point
2019-02-27 21:22:06<Aude_K8> and we have people who just can be there on one or two days, so we put them where it suits for them
2019-02-27 21:22:12<gingercoons_> usability is a newish topic for LGM, and it might be nice to put it a little later in the schedule
2019-02-27 21:22:14<houz> right
2019-02-27 21:22:36<a-l-e> we have everybody in the room for the state of the LG... it's one of the best spots and the talks (most of all the second one) seems a bit week to me.
2019-02-27 21:22:47<Aude_K8> and we tried to have talks with similer topics together, and no workshops /meetings with similar topics at the same time
2019-02-27 21:23:15<a-l-e> are all talks in there?
2019-02-27 21:23:24<houz> yes
2019-02-27 21:23:37<houz> besides one who never replied to mails
2019-02-27 21:23:44<a-l-e> probono?
2019-02-27 21:23:49<a-l-e> (appimage?)
2019-02-27 21:23:55<houz> no
2019-02-27 21:24:07<a-l-e> well, he was not refused, so it should be in, imo
2019-02-27 21:24:20<a-l-e> he is very late with replying, but he finally replied on monday.
2019-02-27 21:24:22<Aude_K8> dylan c
2019-02-27 21:24:25<houz> probono is sun morning
2019-02-27 21:24:29<pippin> a note that my own submisisons 'Commandlines, CMYK .. etc' would work better if it is *before* the 'GEGL and GIMP non-destructive editing' - which is formulated to discuss/elaborate discuss some of the future consequences of the talk
2019-02-27 21:25:06<Aude_K8> but there are also 3-4 other people where you were waiting for an answer, Ale. Did you get them?
2019-02-27 21:25:08<a-l-e> "liberate books" should be a LT, not a FT...
2019-02-27 21:25:29<a-l-e> some of them, yes. other no.
2019-02-27 21:25:37<a-l-e> it's marked in the google doc...
2019-02-27 21:25:54<boud> question: last year I did the State of Libre Graphics. Is there another speaker, or should I keep in mind that I might have to do it again?
2019-02-27 21:26:11<pippin> we should also have more than one lightning-talk session, and hope to get as many lightning talks submitted at the event as before.
2019-02-27 21:26:35<a-l-e> Aude_K8, one really failed ot reply, and it's the very first. i think that all other have had a reply.
2019-02-27 21:26:51<houz> boud: you did that exceptionally well, would you be willing to do it again?
2019-02-27 21:27:01<houz> pippin: there are 2 lt sessions
2019-02-27 21:27:09<boud> sure, but if there's a more regular person to do it, I don't want to put myself forward
2019-02-27 21:27:26<pippin> ah yes, there is one on saturday as well
2019-02-27 21:27:33<a-l-e> sat 1.6, "liberate books": iirc, it has been confirmed as a LT, not a FT...
2019-02-27 21:27:35<houz> what do you mean, more regular? you are lgm inventory :-D
2019-02-27 21:28:31<boud> It was ages between Madrid and Sevilla, and in between I never could attend, as far as I remember.
2019-02-27 21:28:53<gingercoons_> is the distinction between workshop and BoF going to get re-introduced for the actual published schedule? for some of these, it's important for expectation management
2019-02-27 21:30:03<houz> Aude_K8 just called me, her computer is acting strangely, she's not ignoring us :-)
2019-02-27 21:30:53<houz> i would do the workshop/bof differentation, yes
2019-02-27 21:31:06<houz> but for scheduling them it's the same, right?
2019-02-27 21:31:26<a-l-e> should we put the comments in the sheet?
2019-02-27 21:31:43<Aude_K8> I am back :-)
2019-02-27 21:31:51<gingercoons_> I believe so. I just wanted us to be sure that it doesn't accidentally get collapsed during the translation from one spreadsheet to the next :)
2019-02-27 21:31:58<houz> that would be good. then we can go through it tomorrow and incorporate the changes
2019-02-27 21:32:05<Aude_K8> yes comments in the sheet would be helpful. Just let me do a copy
2019-02-27 21:33:16<Aude_K8> copy is there. So we can work in it
2019-02-27 21:33:39<houz> i also added comment columns to the tables
2019-02-27 21:35:44<Aude_K8> @a-l-e I have some questions to your feedbacks in the main sheet. Can we go through them to decide for propositions which are unclear? Like Number 10?
2019-02-27 21:35:56<pippin> perhaps there should be another/longer orga meeting than 50min just before the goodbye session?
2019-02-27 21:36:32<a-l-e> orga meeting at the end are not the best imo.
2019-02-27 21:36:53<pippin> franktrampe: have you submitted a workshop/bof for SPI membership?
2019-02-27 21:36:55* pippin hides
2019-02-27 21:37:17<franktrampe> No. I was planning to cover that at the organizational meeting.
2019-02-27 21:37:25<gingercoons_> maybe we could try to fit an additional org meeting into one of the lunch breaks?
2019-02-27 21:37:30<franktrampe> Fine with me.
2019-02-27 21:37:31<Aude_K8> can the orga meeting be during the lunch break
2019-02-27 21:38:12<Aude_K8> on which day will we have most of the persons? thursday? friday?
2019-02-27 21:38:45<a-l-e> Aude_K8, i just got a mail from 10 and he says that he will try to do a good talk : - )
2019-02-27 21:38:54<Aude_K8> If I remember right, a few people wrote they won't be there during the week-end
2019-02-27 21:38:59<gingercoons_> Aude_K8: I'd guess Friday
2019-02-27 21:39:25<Aude_K8> @a-l-e yes I spoke with him yesterday and he would really like to do one
2019-02-27 21:39:58<a-l-e> i think that the program he is creating is really interesting.
2019-02-27 21:40:01<pippin> but a orga/wrap-up/recruit helpers for next iteration, before the closing, for a shorter stretch than 50min, might be a good idea
2019-02-27 21:40:26<pippin> (in addition to a lunch organisation meeting)
2019-02-27 21:41:01<a-l-e> but he admitted that he was looking for contributors... and now does not have a good new plan yet... but you are confident and i'd really like him to present something good!
2019-02-27 21:41:54<Aude_K8> @pippin: you mean a meeting instead of sunday afternoon or one extra?
2019-02-27 21:42:21<pippin> Aude_K8: both
2019-02-27 21:42:33<Aude_K8> @a-l-e I can only say he is motivated. Houz knows more about his competences
2019-02-27 21:42:54<Aude_K8> @pippin ok I squeeze it somewhere in the schedule
2019-02-27 21:42:55<a-l-e> i've looked at his code and it looks really well written.
2019-02-27 21:43:13<a-l-e> and concerning the features, the screenshots are promising : - )
2019-02-27 21:43:31<Aude_K8> should we give him a chance with a full talk?
2019-02-27 21:44:12<a-l-e> he is confident to manage 15 to 20 mins.
2019-02-27 21:45:05<Aude_K8> For K8 it is fine for us if he does a full talk
2019-02-27 21:45:20<houz> i will try to drag #10 to the inkscape hackfest to get to know those people, maybe that will help shape his talk a little, too
2019-02-27 21:46:01<Aude_K8> ok for everyone?
2019-02-27 21:46:07<houz> yes for me
2019-02-27 21:46:15<a-l-e> yep
2019-02-27 21:46:26<houz> i added time constraints to the comments so we don't accidentally schedule talks where the speaker is not available
2019-02-27 21:47:08<Aude_K8> another question: #33 would really like to have a full talk and not 2 LT. What do you mean?
2019-02-27 21:47:19<houz> so 5 is a lt, that gives us a free slot either for an orga meeting or one of the two new ones
2019-02-27 21:48:01<Aude_K8> We planed #33 in the schedule as a full talk so it would not be a problem of time...
2019-02-27 21:48:24<houz> i would give him his full slot
2019-02-27 21:49:35<Aude_K8> someone against it?
2019-02-27 21:49:37<a-l-e> imo, he would be a good candidate for the starting talks.
2019-02-27 21:49:51<houz> jehan?
2019-02-27 21:49:55<a-l-e> yep
2019-02-27 21:49:56<houz> i mean, 33?
2019-02-27 21:50:51<houz> agreed
2019-02-27 21:51:09<Aude_K8> ok i noted that, we can switch the talks
2019-02-27 21:51:26<Aude_K8> He will be happy to do a full talk
2019-02-27 21:51:32<houz> we might put the whole usability cluster to another place then
2019-02-27 21:52:24<Aude_K8> ok, we can check that tomorrow
2019-02-27 21:53:10<Aude_K8> what do we do with the two people who did not answer (#3 and #19). Are they out?
2019-02-27 21:53:56<a-l-e> #3 does not have a realy proposal and did not reply to two emails... so i guess he is out...
2019-02-27 21:54:54<Aude_K8> #19 did not answer four emails. I guess he is out too
2019-02-27 21:55:03<pippin> are we sure that the people expecting replies does not have overly spam sensitive mail providers?
2019-02-27 21:55:22<a-l-e> #3 is gmail...
2019-02-27 21:56:08<Aude_K8> #19 got mails from me and they are sometimes in the spam. Can someone else try contact him one last time?
2019-02-27 21:56:28<a-l-e> for #19... it's an interesting project... but i don't really like the proposal he did.
2019-02-27 21:56:47<Aude_K8> but since the 66 other persons answered me, I am not sure that it was the problem...
2019-02-27 21:58:06<houz> i guess we have to make a cut somewhere, so i wouldn't wait any longer for a reply
2019-02-27 21:58:17<Aude_K8> +1
2019-02-27 21:58:42<franktrampe> It's not our last LGM after all.
2019-02-27 21:58:46<pippin> yes, and even without them we've got a quite packed and curated schedule coming along
2019-02-27 21:58:55<houz> indeed
2019-02-27 21:59:17<Aude_K8> next question is #32? Do we want to wait here?
2019-02-27 21:59:35<Aude_K8> Or say he can do an LT and 2020 there will be LGM again
2019-02-27 21:59:38<Aude_K8> ?
2019-02-27 22:00:00<a-l-e> i'd like to wait there.
2019-02-27 22:00:24<Aude_K8> did you give him a deadline?
2019-02-27 22:01:31<Aude_K8> He is planed in the schedule so it is ok for me to give him one more week. But I would not like to wait longer
2019-02-27 22:01:47<houz> i pinged probono in #gimp
2019-02-27 22:02:05<boud> try #appimage :P
2019-02-27 22:02:26<houz> done :-)
2019-02-27 22:02:34<a-l-e> he was away for two weeks i guess...
2019-02-27 22:02:49<a-l-e> his first reply was yesterday...
2019-02-27 22:02:56<boud> spoke on #appimage today
2019-02-27 22:03:17<Aude_K8> what about #49?
2019-02-27 22:03:28<houz> let's give 33 a little extra time then
2019-02-27 22:03:34<houz> sorry, 32
2019-02-27 22:03:34<a-l-e> he made himself a well known person, and having chatted with him (a lot), i'm confident that he will propose something good.
2019-02-27 22:03:57<houz> a-l-e: who?
2019-02-27 22:03:59<a-l-e> 49 has a new description and title.
2019-02-27 22:04:11<a-l-e> houz, 32
2019-02-27 22:04:29<houz> right, i just wasn't sure if you spoke about 32 or 49
2019-02-27 22:05:21<Aude_K8> so 32 gets more time. 49 sent a new proposition.
2019-02-27 22:06:11<Aude_K8> so 49 gets a full talk? Is it ok for everyone?
2019-02-27 22:06:17<a-l-e> 49 has a high risk to be a weak talk... most of all because he does not feel confident in english (no idea what his real skills are)
2019-02-27 22:06:34<a-l-e> but he will bring a topic that will probably be interesting.
2019-02-27 22:06:55<houz> i'd like 49 in concert with the inkscape devs and a 1.0 release announcement :-D
2019-02-27 22:08:13<Aude_K8> or only an LT?
2019-02-27 22:08:19<a-l-e> he is trying hard to do something good. let's give him some karma : - )
2019-02-27 22:09:32<houz> +1
2019-02-27 22:11:29<Aude_K8> ok. 56-58: It stays we would get an updated version of the abstracts, but I do not remember why. Did anyone get something? Otherwise I would ask them again
2019-02-27 22:12:21<houz> i don't remember
2019-02-27 22:12:48<gingercoons_> was it because we asked for a change of format for one of the items?
2019-02-27 22:13:21<Aude_K8> Maybe... I get in touch with them
2019-02-27 22:13:49<Aude_K8> And last question: we have two new propositions: 68 + 69
2019-02-27 22:14:32<Aude_K8> Do we want to have them in if we have free time slots once we have worked over the schedule?
2019-02-27 22:15:56<houz> why not
2019-02-27 22:16:29<pippin> houz: because the deadline is long passeed..?
2019-02-27 22:17:46<pippin> while lightning talks are indeed still possible and desired (the form having been online makes it seem like we could be accepting though)
2019-02-27 22:17:59<Aude_K8> well, we still had the form on the website (now we shut it down). So people might not have seen that the deadline has passed
2019-02-27 22:18:39<Aude_K8> the form is not online anymore since a week. so it won't come more.
2019-02-27 22:19:44<Aude_K8> Otherwise we tell them that they can do a LT during LGM. And that they might get a time slot if someone is sick or does not come
2019-02-27 22:20:31<gingercoons_> I think it would be reasonable to just encourage them to attend and do LTs
2019-02-27 22:20:49<Aude_K8> the schedule will still be full if we do not accept them (and 68 has already a workshop)
2019-02-27 22:20:55<gingercoons_> saves a lot of schedule puzzling and still gives them encouragement to participate
2019-02-27 22:21:26<Aude_K8> @gingercoons +1 - and it is fair for people who participated on time
2019-02-27 22:22:34<a-l-e> so, boud, you you do the state of libre graphics?
2019-02-27 22:22:58<Aude_K8> For me for today all questions concerning programm and schedule are answered so we can continue to work on it. I will confirm the persons we wrote about tonight.
2019-02-27 22:23:10<a-l-e> ... i've created a (growing) list of projects to be contacted... and i can help you get in touch with them.
2019-02-27 22:23:54<houz> before everyone leaves, we really need a decision about sponsoring information on the website. shall we just copy&paste from last years?
2019-02-27 22:23:56<a-l-e> nice, Aude_K8
2019-02-27 22:24:27<boud> a-l-e: if people want me to, sure. I will check out your list and it would be nice to have help contacting projects.
2019-02-27 22:24:33<houz> https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/support-lgm/sponsorship/ might be a source to take from
2019-02-27 22:25:42<a-l-e> boud, the list is here: https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/state-of-lg-2019/issues/1
2019-02-27 22:25:50<boud> thanks
2019-02-27 22:26:11<a-l-e> and i would suggest to use the attached repo for collecting the slides, like we did last year:
2019-02-27 22:26:20<a-l-e> https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/state-of-lg-2019
2019-02-27 22:26:20<boud> golly
2019-02-27 22:26:23<gingercoons_> houz: which only needs small amendments, like contact information and an update to the list of past LGMs
2019-02-27 22:26:34<boud> I think that three slides per project will be too much, unless most projects don't reply
2019-02-27 22:28:33<boud> a-l-e: maybe we should ask projects to send me chatty text too, so I can get to know the projects I'm not too familiar with and create a kind of narrative
2019-02-27 22:29:18<a-l-e> boud, good idea...
2019-02-27 22:29:29<pippin> boud: this is last years description of submmissions https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/state-of-lg-2018 - (mostly unchanged since the first state of libre graphisc) that asks for speaker notes and more, as well as file naming conventions
2019-02-27 22:29:30<Aude_K8> @houz we already have the paypal button on the website. We can indead use the infos of 2016, we could have that online in the next days...
2019-02-27 22:29:30<a-l-e> we can add more details on what projectname.txt should contain.
2019-02-27 22:29:41<houz> gingercoons_: yes, but we need a decision if we want that at all. if we want to keep the amounts and the "benefits"
2019-02-27 22:29:49<pippin> it also asks for *two* content slides, and one "title/project logo summary" slide
2019-02-27 22:30:03<a-l-e> pippin, i've already copied it into https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/state-of-lg-2019 : - )
2019-02-27 22:30:23<houz> Aude_K8: agnès was contacted by opensuse who asked about details how to sponsor lgm
2019-02-27 22:31:28<a-l-e> boud, we can enhance the sample .txt file: https://github.com/libregraphicsmeeting/state-of-lg-2019/blob/master/sample-project/sample-project.md
2019-02-27 22:31:49<Aude_K8> @houz I don't know about that but I can speak with her (her child is sick since 10 days so that I do not get all infos...)
2019-02-27 22:32:17<boud> a-l-e: I'll keep that open and think about it for a bit
2019-02-27 22:32:25<pippin> and also note that if what is provided is a guideline, and the presenter will try to be faithful, but clarifying details might be better than a script to speak :)
2019-02-27 22:32:25<a-l-e> it does not hurry (yet)
2019-02-27 22:32:28<gingercoons_> houz: fair point. I suppose the value of the tiers is worth re-considering
2019-02-27 22:32:50<boud> pippin: right
2019-02-27 22:33:01<franktrampe> Quick question for K8 folks. Are you in a position to accept "global" funds past this year's event?
2019-02-27 22:33:18<boud> a-l-e: right, too. By then I should have released Krita 4.2... And that seems ages right now!
2019-02-27 22:34:12<Aude_K8> @franktrampe what do you mean whith "global funds"?
2019-02-27 22:34:53<franktrampe> Money not spent on the local event. Money for travel reimbursements for 2020, for example.
2019-02-27 22:35:35<Aude_K8> I have to check that but I think so. Since we did that for the travel reimbursments in Sevilla
2019-02-27 22:35:47<pippin> franktrampe: have lgm ever had excess funds from year to year? this is news to me.
2019-02-27 22:36:05<franktrampe> It will be news, but we will make it happen somehow.
2019-02-27 22:36:06<houz> :-)
2019-02-27 22:36:29<Aude_K8> I check and let you know in the next chat
2019-02-27 22:36:33<franktrampe> Okay.
2019-02-27 22:36:41<a-l-e> so, i don't need to come by bicycle?
2019-02-27 22:37:06<Aude_K8> well you should, bicycle is nice in Saarbrücken:-)
2019-02-27 22:37:22<Aude_K8> when do we do the next chat?
2019-02-27 22:37:49<Aude_K8> next wednesday is not possible for me. In two weeks?
2019-02-27 22:38:20<Aude_K8> that would be march 13th
2019-02-27 22:38:23<Aude_K8> ?
2019-02-27 22:38:25<pippin> ok - we could make a public statement on the website about the progress of the schedules (count of events of what type)
2019-02-27 22:38:38<houz> i'd like to have the schedule out as soon as possible
2019-02-27 22:38:38<Aude_K8> ok
2019-02-27 22:38:39<a-l-e> it's a blog : - )
2019-02-27 22:38:57<houz> yeah, let's use the blog. is anyone willing to help writing stuff?
2019-02-27 22:39:29<Aude_K8> @houz so a chat next week? Probably Soenke can do it even if I can't
2019-02-27 22:39:46* ChanServ gives channel operator status to a-l-e
2019-02-27 22:39:58<houz> otherwise i will be the local contact in the meeting
2019-02-27 22:40:07* a-l-e has changed the topic to: http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/ - next LGM: 29 May to June 2 2019 in Saarbrücken - next org meeting: Wednesday March 13th, 21:00 CE(S)T
2019-02-27 22:40:11<Aude_K8> and we can work the schedule over in the next days
2019-02-27 22:40:18<houz> if it's just to look over the new schedule and accept it i feel qualified :-)
2019-02-27 22:40:33<houz> Aude_K8: i will be sick on friday though
2019-02-27 22:41:05<Aude_K8> @houw I am sick from friday until tuesday. Let's do it tomorrow
2019-02-27 22:41:12<houz> :-)
2019-02-27 22:41:45<Aude_K8> so next chat on march 6th?
2019-02-27 22:41:54<franktrampe> Works for me.
2019-02-27 22:41:59<houz> who can hand out credentials for blogging on the website? a-l-e?
2019-02-27 22:42:08<houz> Aude_K8: +1
2019-02-27 22:44:18<a-l-e> houz, at least myself and soenke
2019-02-27 22:44:30<houz> ok
2019-02-27 22:45:05<Aude_K8> We are done for tonight?
2019-02-27 22:45:11<houz> seems so
2019-02-27 22:45:17<franktrampe> Let's do a quick review of the SPI thing.
2019-02-27 22:45:24<houz> right
2019-02-27 22:45:34<franktrampe> I'll put it to the mailing list later, but I'd appreciate a quick run-through with those present.
2019-02-27 22:45:45<franktrampe> Per the e-mail, the arrangement isn't exclusive and has no flat fees.
2019-02-27 22:46:01<houz> i am fine with applying. it's a no-strings-attached deal, so what is there to lose?
2019-02-27 22:46:08<franktrampe> That's my thought on it.
2019-02-27 22:46:53<franktrampe> We also need to pick a "liaison" for the relationship. It makes sense for me to serve in this capacity, but that is not covered by the resolution from 2017.
2019-02-27 22:47:09<franktrampe> So we would also need to solicit other nominations and to vote on that.
2019-02-27 22:47:37<houz> as long as it's not me i am fine with any volunteer ;-)
2019-02-27 22:47:41<franktrampe> Hehe.
2019-02-27 22:48:31<franktrampe> Alright. If there are no objections, I'll put this to the mailing list right now.
2019-02-27 22:48:39<houz> let's put it on the list to vote with a 24h time frame or something like that. 36h max so that the proposal can be sent in time
2019-02-27 22:48:57<franktrampe> Right. Forgot about that.
2019-02-27 22:49:02<franktrampe> But we'll get it done somehow.
2019-02-27 22:49:29<franktrampe> Folks here remember to participate so we don't have a "passed by a majority of the 2 people present" scenario.
2019-02-27 22:49:45<franktrampe> Anyway, that's all I have.
2019-02-27 22:49:48<franktrampe> Anybody else?
2019-02-27 22:50:25<a-l-e> just put a "URGENT" in the subject...
2019-02-27 22:50:47<a-l-e> or VOTE TODAY
2019-02-27 22:50:51<franktrampe> Will do.
2019-02-27 22:51:22<houz> !!!1!one!!
2019-02-27 22:52:41<Aude_K8> ok then - I wish everyone good night. Bonne nuit!
2019-02-27 22:53:02<houz> good night. my schedule says i need to sleep
2019-02-27 22:53:12<Aude_K8> :-)
2019-02-27 22:53:23<franktrampe> Good night.
2019-02-27 22:53:36<a-l-e> bonne nuit | gute nacht | buona notte : - )
