4. Open floor


Roll call
=========

Present: arthurzam, dilfridge, mgorny, robbat2, sam, soap
Absent: ulm


Migration to Codeberg
=====================

sam_ led the discussion on migrating contribution workflows to Codeberg.
Codeberg's board responded that repository size is not an immediate
problem if activity is in good faith; they do not foresee major issues
and will respond if problems arise. The Council discussed expectations
for contributors and proxy maintainers during a trial period.

Key points:
- Run an early testing period with infra and CI ready before wider roll
  out.
- Proxy-maint and main reviewers should handle both Codeberg and GitHub
  during the trial; aim to prioritise Codeberg for reviews where possible.
- CI / infrastructure is the gating factor: define trial start
  requirements (CI, automation, and volunteers) before beginning the
  trial.
- Consider running a self-hosted agent to handle package checks and to
  trigger pkgcheck from Codeberg pipelines.
- The Council agreed to prepare infrastructure and find volunteers; no
  formal vote was taken as there were no objections to starting
  preparations.

Action items:
- Infra: prepare CI and automation to support Codeberg PRs and tests.
- Volunteers: recruit reviewers and maintainers to handle Codeberg PRs
  during the trial.
- Documentation: update contribution docs and assignment bots to
  indicate Codeberg as the preferred channel once the trial starts.


Open bugs with Council participation
===================================

Bug 963069 - OpenPGP v5/v6 incompatibility (GLEP63) [4]
-------------------------------------------------------

There is general agreement that the situation is messy and needs careful
handling. mgorny proposed updating the GLEP to require compliance with RFC
4880, additionally permitting curve 25519, as a minimum. It was noted a need
for tooling to reproduce the incompatibility and to dump preferences in a
machine-parseable form.

Decisions / next steps:
- Prepare a patch to GLEP63 to state the minimum supported formats and
  curves, then fast-apply via a Council vote once ready.
- Work on packaging and testing (add commands to reproduce incompatibility)
  and consider adding a glep63-check routine to validate keys.
- Packaging: consider separate packages where co-installability is not
  feasible; avoid single-package solutions that hide incompatibilities.


Bug 961811 - Token2 PIN+ security keys procurement [5]
------------------------------------------------------

Council reported progress on the Token2 evaluation. Evaluators and
shipping details were collected; the group needs to finalise the test
plan and exact models to order. robbat2 asked for clearer model
selection and for a US-based tester to validate tariff and shipping
behaviour.

Key points:
- Tamiko provided measurements and model suggestions; prefer release
  3.2 where possible.
- Consider a common SKU for fulfilment; reship in the US using a
  trusted volunteer or trustee to reduce per-order tariffs.
- Initial testing can proceed while fulfillment logistics are worked
  out; robbat2 indicated he would like to start ordering once models
  are finalised.

Action items:
- Finalise the model(s) for evaluation and the test plan (async).
- Provide shipping details to robbat2 so he can place the initial
  order on the Foundation card.
- Identify a US-based person to receive bulk shipment and redistribute
  to testers.


Open floor
==========

- Meeting logs and the 2025-09 summary will be sent soon; some
  participants had a difficult month.
