(01/11/2009 01:49:03 PM) NeddySeagoon: real name and nick (01/11/2009 01:49:16 PM) quantumsummers|c: can use a wacom tablet or similar to produce sig image (01/11/2009 01:49:23 PM) quantumsummers|c: paste it in (01/11/2009 01:49:44 PM) NeddySeagoon: quantumsummers|c, I would rather use a real pen, with ink (01/11/2009 01:49:51 PM) ***quantumsummers|c doesn't like the font on the cert, but ... (01/11/2009 01:49:58 PM) quantumsummers|c: ok NeddySeagoon, sounds good (01/11/2009 01:50:24 PM) NeddySeagoon: so whats the comment on the bug from today ? (01/11/2009 01:50:30 PM) quantumsummers|c: so that would incur a postage fee, sending it to Scotland & then to whomever (01/11/2009 01:50:59 PM) NeddySeagoon: quantumsummers|c, print it here, sign and post ... its would not be a lot (01/11/2009 01:51:09 PM) quantumsummers|c: ok :) (01/11/2009 01:51:33 PM) quantumsummers|c: would that be automatic or on a per request basis (01/11/2009 01:51:46 PM) quantumsummers|c: every dev gets one, or only those who ask> (01/11/2009 01:51:47 PM) quantumsummers|c: ?

(01/11/2009 01:54:12 PM) quantumsummers|c: not that I have heard about, I did talk to him about this & he said he would work on it (01/11/2009 01:54:25 PM) quantumsummers|c: from what I gather, there are 2 machines needed (01/11/2009 01:54:30 PM) fmccor: I thought he was awaiting financial information from us, which requires a bank accound because Grant is sitting on quite a lot of our money. (01/11/2009 01:54:43 PM) NeddySeagoon: This bug is for maintainance, not new hardware (01/11/2009 01:55:00 PM) quantumsummers|c: one for the git based services & another for tree signing (01/11/2009 01:55:11 PM) quantumsummers|c: big & small respectively (01/11/2009 01:55:27 PM) NeddySeagoon: comes back to a bank account again ...

Main app is for maintaining the membership list easily. I will have that up this week. (01/11/2009 02:00:00 PM) quantumsummers|c: once infra gives go-ahead we can hook into ldap (01/11/2009 02:00:35 PM) NeddySeagoon: ok ... I think we have 203 members (01/11/2009 02:00:35 PM) quantumsummers|c: will also have a little app to upload things like the financial data for safe keeping (01/11/2009 02:01:04 PM) tsunam: yeah as soon as I get it the EIN certificate will be scanned and digitized (01/11/2009 02:01:04 PM) quantumsummers|c: hooking into ldap so devs can keep their own stuff updated (01/11/2009 02:01:08 PM) tsunam: for vault keeping on that (01/11/2009 02:01:23 PM) quantumsummers|c: do we have a safe deposit box for things like this? (01/11/2009 02:01:26 PM) NeddySeagoon: good plan tsunam (01/11/2009 02:01:47 PM) NeddySeagoon: should that be with Wayn Chew ? (01/11/2009 02:02:00 PM) tsunam: the physical?

WEIRDEDOUT held over from last moth (01/11/2009 02:05:38 PM) NeddySeagoon: month* (01/11/2009 02:05:50 PM) NeddySeagoon: I've been slacking doing some checks (01/11/2009 02:06:09 PM) tsunam: well you did give us some details so (01/11/2009 02:06:25 PM) fmccor: This one's dicey, I gather. My vote is yes, because I think he is exactly the kind of user we want as a member. (01/11/2009 02:06:59 PM) NeddySeagoon: I suggest carry forward but I would not vote against as I don't know enough (01/11/2009 02:07:04 PM) fmccor: Others disagree. I'd still ask him to join us in that case so we can talk to him. (01/11/2009 02:07:11 PM) tsunam: k (01/11/2009 02:07:13 PM) NeddySeagoon: ping comprookie2000 (01/11/2009 02:07:14 PM) tsunam: that'd be best (01/11/2009 02:07:20 PM) antarus: I would wonder why he is not at this meeting, yeah ;) (01/11/2009 02:07:24 PM) fmccor: His interview with comprookie2000 is very good. (01/11/2009 02:07:31 PM) tanderson: thanks everyone (01/11/2009 02:07:42 PM) fmccor: antarus, Well, being in Australia might influence that. :) (01/11/2009 02:07:46 PM) ***antarus nods (01/11/2009 02:07:52 PM) antarus: I figured it was a TZ issue ;) (01/11/2009 02:08:19 PM) NeddySeagoon: tsunam, you for holding over too ? (01/11/2009 02:08:25 PM) tsunam: yes i am (01/11/2009 02:08:31 PM) antarus: hrm (01/11/2009 02:08:33 PM) fmccor: antarus, He's a family man in Australia, and this is a horrible time for him. (01/11/2009 02:08:42 PM) antarus: what does the doc say about rejecting *goes to read* (01/11/2009 02:08:57 PM) NeddySeagoon: antarus, hes not rejected (01/11/2009 02:09:28 PM) antarus: I am aware of that (01/11/2009 02:09:48 PM) fmccor: I was meaning to try to chase him down, but didn't get to it. (01/11/2009 02:10:55 PM) NeddySeagoon: comprookie2000, has worked with him in the past, if he shows up, we can ask him (01/11/2009 02:11:31 PM) NeddySeagoon: Item 8 Trustee Elections 2009 (01/11/2009 02:11:40 PM) antarus: putting it on the ballot for every meeting to take no action is not useful; I'd rather reject unclear canidates with some sort of clear feedback on why and they can make changes and apply again(as there appears to be no limitations on applications) (01/11/2009 02:12:05 PM) antarus: that may be overly harsh for some applicats though ;) (01/11/2009 02:12:16 PM) ***Philantrop agrees with antarus (01/11/2009 02:12:45 PM) fmccor: antarus, I don't know if this one knows we want more information or not, actually. (01/11/2009 02:12:58 PM) antarus: fmccor: that is my concern (01/11/2009 02:12:58 PM) NeddySeagoon: antarus, In this case, its overly harsh. Its the trustees that have been slacking, not the candiate. (01/11/2009 02:13:04 PM) antarus: NeddySeagoon: ok ;) (01/11/2009 02:13:15 PM) quantumsummers|c: I sent him an email last meeting stating that we wanted more info (01/11/2009 02:13:54 PM) NeddySeagoon: antarus, the candidate provided information we we have failed to check in its entireity. (01/11/2009 02:13:56 PM) fmccor: Please send another, CC trustees. (01/11/2009 02:14:14 PM) antarus: yep, I'm with you ;) (01/11/2009 02:14:39 PM) NeddySeagoon: So - held over for trustee slacking (01/11/2009 02:14:41 PM) antarus: I agree with a deferral in that case ;) (01/11/2009 02:14:52 PM) quantumsummers|c: sent (01/11/2009 02:14:57 PM) NeddySeagoon: Item 8 Trustee Elections 2009 (01/11/2009 02:16:05 PM) NeddySeagoon: There will be two seats for reelection this year, our current vacancy and dmwaters. Nominations should open early Feb and voting early March (01/11/2009 02:16:26 PM) NeddySeagoon: We need an election team (01/11/2009 02:16:40 PM) quantumsummers|c: nominations run the month of Feb & voting the month of Mar? (01/11/2009 02:16:49 PM) NeddySeagoon: yes (01/11/2009 02:16:51 PM) antarus: we could use the typical team, assuming none of them are running (01/11/2009 02:17:03 PM) jmbsvicetto: antarus: I'm not ;) (01/11/2009 02:17:11 PM) quantumsummers|c: hi jmbsvicetto! (01/11/2009 02:17:11 PM) antarus: rane, fox2mike, myself, and jmbsvicetto (01/11/2009 02:17:11 PM) NeddySeagoon: jmbsvicetto was going to set up an elections project but I don't know if that happened (01/11/2009 02:17:26 PM) antarus: NeddySeagoon: we basically have an unofficial one at this point ;) (01/11/2009 02:17:27 PM) jmbsvicetto: running, but am interested in running another election (01/11/2009 02:17:32 PM) jmbsvicetto: Hi quantumsummers|c (01/11/2009 02:17:52 PM) NeddySeagoon: antarus, is that an offer ? if so sccepted (01/11/2009 02:17:58 PM) jmbsvicetto: antarus: yeah, but I've been meaning to send a mail announcing the team ;) (01/11/2009 02:18:37 PM) jmbsvicetto: antarus: I was also going to create a page with some information about how an election is run and technical details (01/11/2009 02:18:54 PM) ***antarus certainly won't stop you ;p (01/11/2009 02:18:56 PM) jmbsvicetto: NeddySeagoon: one important question - are we going to have non-dev members in the foundation for this election? (01/11/2009 02:19:12 PM) quantumsummers|c: yes (01/11/2009 02:19:14 PM) fmccor: jmbsvicetto, We can. (01/11/2009 02:19:22 PM) quantumsummers|c: so far comprookie2000, & Philantrop (01/11/2009 02:19:31 PM) NeddySeagoon: jmbsvicetto, yes ... mostly ex-devs ... only comprookie2000 is a never been dev as far as I know (01/11/2009 02:19:36 PM) jmbsvicetto: I know we can, but the point is whether we already have them for this election (01/11/2009 02:19:41 PM) fmccor: quantumsummers|c, plus lots of ex-developers perhaps. (01/11/2009 02:19:50 PM) quantumsummers|c: true (01/11/2009 02:20:29 PM) fmccor: jmbsvicetto, We always have, I think. But yes (any ex-developer/member) (01/11/2009 02:20:33 PM) NeddySeagoon: jmbsvicetto, you can use the same method as you used for ex devs last year (01/11/2009 02:20:39 PM) jmbsvicetto: ok, in that case I suggest we keep using votify/countify for this election and as before ask those members to send a gpg signed email to all election officials (01/11/2009 02:20:59 PM) NeddySeagoon: quantumsummers|c, you have the keys (01/11/2009 02:21:02 PM) quantumsummers|c: does the elections team have an alias? (01/11/2009 02:21:03 PM) fmccor: Sounds good. (01/11/2009 02:21:09 PM) quantumsummers|c: email alias that is (01/11/2009 02:21:09 PM) antarus: quantumsummers|c: we don't even have a team ;) (01/11/2009 02:21:11 PM) jmbsvicetto: The foundation needs to solve the issue of the gpg keys for ex-devs (01/11/2009 02:21:36 PM) jmbsvicetto: quantumsummers|c: I'm going to ask robbat2 to create elections@ g dot o (01/11/2009 02:21:43 PM) quantumsummers|c: its difficult for those that do not respond or have non-working emails jmbsvicetto (01/11/2009 02:21:50 PM) jmbsvicetto: antarus: want to be in it? rane? (01/11/2009 02:21:58 PM) antarus: jmbsvicetto: I am making it right now (01/11/2009 02:22:04 PM) jmbsvicetto: antarus: ok, thanks (01/11/2009 02:22:20 PM) antarus: aww I need robbat2 foo (01/11/2009 02:22:23 PM) antarus: stupid gentoo (01/11/2009 02:22:25 PM) jmbsvicetto: quantumsummers|c: right, but aren't gpg keys mandatory? (01/11/2009 02:22:29 PM) jmbsvicetto: HEHE (01/11/2009 02:22:32 PM) quantumsummers|c: yes (01/11/2009 02:22:34 PM) jmbsvicetto: sorry, caps (01/11/2009 02:22:52 PM) jmbsvicetto: quantumsummers|c: then members need to solve any email issues (01/11/2009 02:23:04 PM) jmbsvicetto: quantumsummers|c: And these days there's "tons" of free mail providers (01/11/2009 02:23:08 PM) quantumsummers|c: its ok, I will make the list availble next week to the trustees & any dev that needs access (01/11/2009 02:23:20 PM) quantumsummers|c: we can update whomever (01/11/2009 02:23:25 PM) fmccor: quantumsummers|c, If they don't respond and the email doesn't work, it's fair to believe they are going inactive. They should all be on gentoo-nfp. (01/11/2009 02:23:27 PM) jmbsvicetto: quantumsummers|c: I'll ping you about it fmccor fmccor|work (01/11/2009 02:23:37 PM) quantumsummers|c: ok fmccor (01/11/2009 02:23:39 PM) quantumsummers|c: ok jmbsvicetto (01/11/2009 02:23:45 PM) jmbsvicetto: quantumsummers|c: Oh, you mean expired addresses?

Now that the foundation is working, we're "pleased" to drop it to you ;) (01/11/2009 02:24:45 PM) NeddySeagoon: jmbsvicetto, thank you (01/11/2009 02:24:52 PM) jmbsvicetto: *g* (01/11/2009 02:25:07 PM) NeddySeagoon: jmbsvicetto, are the timescales ok ?
