Bug 736760 - Application to Software Freedom Conservancy [21:04:10] https://bugs.gentoo.org/736760 "Application to Software Freedom Conservancy"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; CONF; mgorny:trustees [21:04:21] <@mgorny> apparently we've asked trustees to close the bug [21:04:29] <@sam_> i'll ping again now elections are done [21:04:38] <@mgorny> ok [21:04:44] <@sam_> I was told that nothing was likely to happen until post-elections before [21:05:01] <@sam_> (I should've updated bug, but did mention it in last meeting iirc) [21:05:10] <@mgorny> 3b. Bug 793164 - GLEP 82: Repository configuration file (layout.conf) [21:05:11] https://bugs.gentoo.org/793164 "GLEP 82: Repository configuration file (layout.conf)"; Documentation, New GLEP submissions; IN_P; mgorny:glep [21:05:21] <@mgorny> i think we can vote for marking it final [21:05:29] <@mgorny> pkgcore+pkgcheck implementation is done [21:05:41] <@ulm> +1 [21:05:45] <+soap> +1 [21:05:46] <@sam_> that was going to be my only question [21:05:48] <@sam_> +1 [21:05:54] <@dilfridge> excellent [21:05:55] <@mgorny> motion: Mark GLEP 82 Final [21:06:00] <@mattst88> \o/ [21:06:02] -*- dilfridge yes [21:06:02] -*- ulm yes [21:06:05] -*- mattst88 yes [21:06:05] -*- soap yes [21:06:13] -*- sam_ yes [21:06:22] -*- gyakovlev yes [21:06:26] -*- mgorny yes [21:06:33] <@mgorny> passed unanimously [21:06:59] <@mgorny> 3c. Bug 801937 - Translators' requests on wiki are blocked since november 2019 [21:07:00] mgorny: https://bugs.gentoo.org/801937 "Translators' requests on wiki are blocked since november 2019"; Websites, Wiki; IN_P; marco:wiki [21:07:11] <@mgorny> not sure if there's anything for us left to do here [21:07:24] <@sam_> i do have one remark to make [21:07:29] <@sam_> i don't really understand how gentoo's wiki is special here [21:07:31] <@mgorny> seems like there's some debate inside wiki team for this [21:07:41] <@sam_> surely basically all translation efforts suffer from this problem? [21:07:49] <@sam_> (validation of input) [21:08:12] <@sam_> it seems like the best mitigation is just to try get multiple translators per language and rely on them reporting it to us [21:08:13] <@mgorny> well, i think we may be using a different model than your average wiki [21:08:25] <@mgorny> i think normally wikis are separate per language [21:08:46] <@mgorny> while we have this weird combination of per-paragraph translation with handbook built from cross-included parts [21:09:46] <@mgorny> ok, so do we want to close the bug or continue observing? [21:10:05] <@sam_> hm [21:10:36] <@sam_> I'd like to keep observing but I'm not sure what's going to change [21:10:43] <@mgorny> btw i'm not sure if i understand maffblaster's point [21:10:43] <@ulm> let's close the bug [21:10:45] <@sam_> I don't have the wiki knowledge to suggest any sort of improvements right now [21:10:56] <@sam_> I don't think I get the real problem in a sense [21:10:58] <@mgorny> "should we remove the extra privileges for translations" -> what does he mean? [21:11:01] <@ulm> I'm watching the translator request page [21:11:14] <@sam_> mgorny: right [21:11:21] <@mgorny> disabling translations from handbook? disabling entirely? or letting people translate freely? [21:11:36] <@ulm> mgorny: that everyone can add translations, I think [21:11:48] <@ulm> not sure how that's supposed to improve quality [21:12:26] <@sam_> oh, I see, not adding this manual approval step [21:12:35] <@sam_> it's probably useful to keep it because it avoids spam a bit [21:12:43] <@sam_> we can notice if there's a surge for a certain language [21:13:26] <@sam_> ok let's close it as ulm said? [21:13:35] <@mgorny> motion: close bug 801937 [21:13:36] mgorny: https://bugs.gentoo.org/801937 "Translators' requests on wiki are blocked since november 2019"; Websites, Wiki; IN_P; marco:wiki [21:14:11] <@ulm> do we really need to vote on this? [21:14:30] <@mgorny> ulm: should i put that up as motion? ;-P [21:14:52] <@mgorny> *shrug* [21:15:07] <@mattst88> just close it :) [21:15:11] <@mgorny> ok, will do [21:15:17] <@mgorny> moving to the last point [21:15:21] <@ulm> seems there's consensus [21:15:25] <@mgorny> 4. Open floor [21:15:46] <@mgorny> does anyone have any item? [21:16:56] <@sam_> I'd like to consider "upgrade lifcycles" at some point but I don't have notes ready for now. Mainly just about formalising efforts to support upgrades for X period and to try document a procedure for e.g. new EAPI versions and bootstrap packages not having new EAPIs for a while, and such. [21:17:09] <@sam_> So, no, not right now, but I'd welcome any thoughts post-meeting while I consider it more [21:17:33] <@sam_> The gist is to have a checklist so that we don't "get excited" like with EAPI 8 and end up making upgrades hard for people [21:17:43] <@sam_> I think the GLEP we recently approved helps with that [21:19:04] <@mgorny> ok [21:19:12] -*- mgorny bangs the gavel [21:19:21] <@sam_> thank you! [21:19:24] <@mgorny> thanks, everyone [21:19:50] <@dilfridge> thanks :) [21:19:52] <@mgorny> so quick summary: [21:19:58] <@mgorny> i'll approach antarus over his item [21:20:17] <@mgorny> ulm: will you take care of the glep? [21:20:27] <@ulm> will do [21:20:30] <@mgorny> thanks [21:20:47] * ulm has changed topic for #gentoo-council to: "218th meeting: 2021-10-10 19:00 UTC | https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20211010T19 | https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council | https://dev.gentoo.org/~dilfridge/decisions.html" [21:20:49] <@mgorny> and i'll close the wiki bug
