19:09 * NeddySeagoon banges the gavel to open the November 2011 Gentoo Foundation Inc. Trustees meeting 19:10 <@NeddySeagoon> Roll Call 19:10 <@dabbott> present 19:10 <@quantumsummers|c> present 19:10 <@NeddySeagoon> I'm looging 19:10 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, robbat2|na 19:10 <@rich0> present 19:11 <@NeddySeagoon> I seen to recall robbat2 said he may have some difficulty, so lets start 19:11 <@NeddySeagoon> Item 3 Old Business 19:12 <@NeddySeagoon> Election Recording Date ... hmmm. 19:12 <@dabbott> I like the idea of the elections after the Annual Report 19:12 <@NeddySeagoon> I propose the close of our January meeting, if we want to hold elections at the customary time 19:12 <@quantumsummers|c> what is the date of the next election? In March somewhere? 19:12 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, its nomination in Feb, voting in Mar 19:13 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, yeah end of Jan is not a bad idea, like we have done before 19:13 <@quantumsummers|c> I will note that my wife is due at the end of Jan, however 19:13 <@dabbott> so 5 months until the Annual Report 19:13 <@NeddySeagoon> We could move it closerto the AGM, so new trustees take their seats at the close of the AGM 19:13 <@dabbott> perfect 19:13 <@quantumsummers|c> I am OK with that as well 19:14 <@rich0> I'm pretty flexible - it doesn't matter that much in practice and we can always try it and see how it works. Does create the lame-duck issue if you announce well before effective. 19:14 <@rich0> But that works for POTUS. 19:14 <@NeddySeagoon> I have a mild preference of nonminations in July, votes in Aug so the old team present at the AGM 19:15 <@rich0> If there is a membership revolt and they kick out all the trustees we can at least loot the treasury on the way out that way. :) (uh, did somebody mention logging) 19:15 <@NeddySeagoon> thoughts ?> 19:15 <@quantumsummers|c> seems fine to me 19:15 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, yeah, I did and am 19:15 <@rich0> NeddySeagoon, ++ 19:15 <@dabbott> NeddySeagoon, ++ 19:15 <@quantumsummers|c> no looting on my watch unless I get 25% 19:16 <@quantumsummers|c> :D 19:16 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion - that the Trustee eclection be move to better coincide with the AGM. 19:17 <@quantumsummers|c> seconded 19:17 <@rich0> do we want to go ahead and specify the target, or wait till we get closer? 19:17 <@quantumsummers|c> lets set it 19:17 <@rich0> ie dates/etc. 19:17 <@rich0> So, elections in Aug, nominations in July, meeting in June is recording date? 19:17 <@NeddySeagoon> This also means the elections project will not be slacking at FOSDEM 19:18 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, that works for me 19:18 <@dabbott> sounds good 19:18 <@rich0> NeddySeagoon, care to revise your motion? 19:19 <@rich0> assuming quantumsummers is fine with it? 19:19 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion that Trustee elsections be elections in Aug, nominations in July, meeting in June is recording date to better alighn with the AGM 19:19 <@quantumsummers|c> yes 19:19 <@quantumsummers|c> seconded 19:19 <@rich0> aye 19:19 <@NeddySeagoon> Vote please 19:19 <@dabbott> aye 19:19 <@quantumsummers|c> +1 19:19 <@NeddySeagoon> aye 19:19 <@NeddySeagoon> Montion carried 19:20 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers your turn ... SFLC Update, Certified Public Accountant and 501(c)(3) registration status 19:21 <@quantumsummers|c> Ok, so 19:21 <@quantumsummers|c> sflc: our previous council has moved to the software conservancy or gnome foundation so I hear 19:21 <@quantumsummers|c> Karen, that is 19:21 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|c, Ah well, do we have a new name ? 19:21 <@quantumsummers|c> I need to setup a meeting to see who will be our contact going forward 19:22 <@robbat2|na> hi 19:22 <@quantumsummers|c> on my list for Monday 19:22 <@quantumsummers|c> hello robbat2|na 19:22 <@NeddySeagoon> hi robbat2|na 19:22 <@robbat2|na> ah, i messed up the start time 19:22 <@dabbott> hi robbat2|na 19:22 <@robbat2|na> aye on election dates 19:22 <@dabbott> Motion Trustee elections be elections in Aug, nominations in July, meeting in June is recording date to better align with the AGM in AUG 19:23 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, I guess that means the SFLC has made no progress on anything, its it could well be a step backwards. 19:23 <@quantumsummers|c> that is fairly accurate 19:23 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, not much you can add to that until after your meeting then 19:23 <@quantumsummers|c> that could also explain why I have received no response for a long time from karen 19:23 <@dabbott> good thing they are free 19:24 <@quantumsummers|c> that is true, dabbott 19:24 <@quantumsummers|c> anyway, we'll get that taken care of, I just need to make contact again. 19:24 <@quantumsummers|c> lets see 19:24 <@quantumsummers|c> financials 19:24 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, does it need to be you? You nave a lot on just now 19:24 <@quantumsummers|c> NeddySeagoon: no it does not 19:25 <@quantumsummers|c> I would like to have more than one person with them 19:25 <@quantumsummers|c> I think that may make it easier 19:25 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, rich0 how about picking up the pieces with the SFLC ? 19:25 <@dabbott> I can send them an email 19:26 <@rich0> I don't mind getting involved. What is our end-goal with them anyway? 19:26 <@quantumsummers|c> dabbott: let me setup a meeting first then I can pass the torch 19:26 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, it means you would become the point of contact with SFLC. Its more than just an email ? 19:26 <@quantumsummers|c> the main goal with them is assistance with license issues and other IP-related matters 19:26 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, that sounds like a plan 19:26 <@quantumsummers|c> ok 19:26 <@NeddySeagoon> maybe a 3 way session 19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> yep 19:27 <@dabbott> ok sure, quantumsummers|a send me what you have I will contact them and let them know I will be a contact 19:27 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, you and rich0 sort it out between you 19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, we'll get that going 19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> how about both rich0 and dabbott 19:27 <@NeddySeagoon> I don't have an issue with that 19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> really I think all of us should be in contact with them 19:27 <@rich0> Either is fine with me. 19:27 <@dabbott> same here 19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, I'll get the ball rolling on Monday' 19:28 <@NeddySeagoon> fine 19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> so, lets see next 19:28 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, Certified Public Accountant 19:28 <@rich0> It probably wouldn't hurt for us to think of some specific things we want to accomplish with them. Maybe sort out the logo? 19:28 <@rich0> (belay that - until we get to it) 19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> sounds good 19:28 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, they already have a list of stuff ... 19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> CPA, this got a little more complicated than I had hoped, so they filed typical extension 19:29 <@quantumsummers|c> this is normal, and I do this every year actually 19:29 <@quantumsummers|c> so we are still working on getting everything together 19:29 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, do we have a CPA under contract ? 19:29 <@quantumsummers|c> NeddySeagoon: yes 19:30 <@quantumsummers|c> this includes the 1023 application, which there is some interesting stuff going on at the IRS apparently which has delayed nearly all FLOSS applications as well as several other types of orgs 19:30 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, thats good to know, can you post the details to the alias please. We all need to know it 19:30 <@quantumsummers|c> NeddySeagoon: sure, I'll scan the paperwork next week, its all at my office 19:31 <@quantumsummers|c> meant to do that awhile ago, and clearly forgot, sorry 19:31 <@quantumsummers|c> in terms of other financial info 19:31 <@NeddySeagoon> thanks. quantumsummers|a I anticipate you won't have much time/bet much sleep in the new year 19:31 <@NeddySeagoon> bet -> get 19:31 <@quantumsummers|c> we shall see, I don't get much now 19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> we have everyone reimbursed for GSOC travel and Donnie has submitted his invoice for foundation reimbursement 19:32 <@NeddySeagoon> thats good. Nobody should be out of pocket for that 19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> I have one outstanding bug open for reimbursement for a recent hardware purchase 19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> we should receive the funds from google soon 19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> which is our main income for the year 19:33 <@quantumsummers|c> I forget the exact number but with travel, etc, its maybe $9K 19:33 <@NeddySeagoon> On a related topic, how do we keep track of projects in progress ? rich0 maybe your tracker should be expanded 19:33 <@quantumsummers|c> I have been filing bugs for things that involve money for the most part 19:33 <@rich0> I see my tracker being mainly for recurring activities. 19:33 <@rich0> Wouldn't bugs be best for single instances of stuff in progress? 19:34 <@quantumsummers|c> robbat2|na: I mentioned this in -infra, but maybe we should have a foundation group for private info/bugs 19:34 <@NeddySeagoon> I know that we have a mips project in progress, there was a similar request for alpha, which seemed to have stalled 19:34 <@quantumsummers|c> as in restrict access, not sure if it matters really 19:34 <@rich0> In fact, in an ideal world you could use the tracker to trigger creating a new bug. The tracker is the crontab, and the bug is the process. 19:34 <@rich0> quantumsummers|a, ++ 19:35 <@rich0> I see this as an issue too. Right now stuff just goes around on the alias for confidentiality, and we never really close the loop properly to make sure we don't drop things. 19:35 <@quantumsummers|c> anyway, I was told its fairly easy, robbat2|na would know more 19:35 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, that sould pretty good. Where do we keep track of funds committed by not yet spent ? 19:35 <@rich0> Bugzilla is perfect for tracking things that have a start and an end, and we can lock the bugs that are sensitive, and leave open the ones that are in there now. 19:35 <@robbat2|na> quantumsummers|a, there is a trustees group under the foundation product already 19:35 <@quantumsummers|c> rich0: yeah, I agree it would be handy to have a place to manage things more centrally and for future proofing 19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> robbat2|na: I mean a restrict access bit 19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> as in there is one already to restrict it to devs only, etc 19:36 <@robbat2|na> quantumsummers|a, ah. ok. done 19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> the product is there, yes. might add a few things to it beyond "proposal" 19:36 <@rich0> Yup, just like security bugs, but trustees only and the CC list. 19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> thanks robbat2|na 19:37 <@NeddySeagoon> that sounds good 19:37 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, paypal stuff 19:37 <@NeddySeagoon> anyway, sorry for the digression 19:37 <@rich0> I think the templates/organization is a nice to have, but the security is critical since that is what is keeping us out. We can't go posting bank account numbers even on dev-only bugs. 19:37 <@quantumsummers|c> I am removing some previous persons SSN and replacing it with our EIN 19:37 <@quantumsummers|c> that is some paperwork that I have to submit 19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> it will make it easier moving forward to hand over control to more than one person or another single person, etc 19:38 <@NeddySeagoon> I saw the process - it looks horrendus 19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> nah, not too bad really 19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> just paperwork, I have all the info I think 19:38 <@NeddySeagoon> Go ahead then quantumsummers|a 19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> will do 19:39 <@quantumsummers|c> we were able to get the server to replace osprey and the HDDs that robbat2|na wanted 19:39 <@quantumsummers|c> I need to order 2 new caddies however, once I find where on the dell site 19:40 <@NeddySeagoon> thats good 19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> could not locate that on friday 19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> so, some cost there but surely <$100 19:40 <@NeddySeagoon> maybe someone in -infra knows where 19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> we overpaid for the HDDs due to Thai floods 19:40 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, well, we are committed now 19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> yes 19:41 <@quantumsummers|c> I have the part number, but could not find it, will probably just call 19:41 <@robbat2|na> quantumsummers|a, we should double-check the caddys for the goog boxes as well 19:41 <@robbat2|na> ping me after the meeting re that stuff 19:41 <@NeddySeagoon> as another aside, my work uses google mail etc. I get all the foundation stuff in google docs coming up when I'm logged in for work 19:42 <@quantumsummers|c> robbat2|na: alrighty 19:42 <@quantumsummers|c> the google docs stuff can be nice actually 19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, I don't mind but my work might 19:43 <@quantumsummers|c> ah true, you should switch your .forward 19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, I don't have a .forward, I don't think 19:44 <@quantumsummers|c> how on earth then 19:44 <@quantumsummers|c> weird 19:44 <@dabbott> you can set up a gmail account just for gentoo stuff 19:44 <@NeddySeagoon> anyway, back to the agenda 19:44 <@robbat2|na> NeddySeagoon, you use a personal gmail account for work? 19:44 <@robbat2|na> or your google accounts are associated together 19:44 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, No. The company uses gmail 19:45 <@quantumsummers|c> I do not see how that could happen 19:45 <@robbat2|na> weird 19:45 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|c, lets not pursue it now, but if anyone has any ideas ... 19:46 <@quantumsummers|c> ok 19:46 <@quantumsummers|c> so, I think that is all from me. Unless someone can remind me of something I have forgotten to cover ... 19:46 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, 501(c)(3) registration status ... I guess thats stalled meanwhile? 19:47 <@quantumsummers|c> not stalled, just work-in-progress 19:47 <@quantumsummers|c> still working on it 19:47 <@NeddySeagoon> ok 19:47 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, SSL Options Update and New Masterdistfiles Machine 19:48 <@robbat2|na> SSL option: no change, and i'm actually really happy about that w/ more CA failures being reported. 19:48 <@robbat2|na> as a potential improvement for now 19:48 <@NeddySeagoon> should we drop this from the agenda then ? 19:49 <@NeddySeagoon> CA failures == SSL breaking u around us ? 19:49 <@robbat2|na> for now I think so. i've started on DNSSEC deployment for Gentoo, and we can send other trust metrics via that later 19:49 <@NeddySeagoon> u -> up 19:49 <@robbat2|na> yes 19:50 <@NeddySeagoon> ok 19:50 <@robbat2|na> there's some RFCs on sending ssl cert fingerprints via DNS 19:50 <@quantumsummers|c> +1 to that 19:50 <@robbat2|na> which when combined with DNSSEC, and when the browsers pick them up, will negate a lot of the CA system 19:50 <@quantumsummers|c> with dnssec that could be a big improvement 19:50 <@quantumsummers|c> nice 19:50 <@quantumsummers|c> I just spent a ton of money on thawte certs 19:51 <@robbat2|na> any objections to dropping it for now, w/ a review in 3/4 months? 19:51 <@NeddySeagoon> nope 19:51 <@quantumsummers|c> I wish we didnt have to, but better to not have a false sense of sec I suppose 19:52 <@quantumsummers|c> nicely, if thawte goes down I sue for large sum of money 19:52 <@quantumsummers|c> insurance is nice I guess 19:52 <@robbat2|na> i don't think we'd have gotten their insurance clauses anyway w/ free certs 19:52 <@quantumsummers|c> yeah, I don't think so either 19:52 <@NeddySeagoon> you can insure against technolgy changing? 19:53 <@quantumsummers|c> NeddySeagoon: you can insure anything :D 19:53 <@robbat2|na> for the right price 19:53 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, New Masterdistfiles Machine 19:53 <@quantumsummers|c> whether the company will survive your claim, that is another issue 19:54 <@quantumsummers|c> New Masterdistfiles Machine == osprey replacement? 19:54 <@robbat2|na> yes 19:54 <@robbat2|na> i haven't seen a response on the ticket if the arrived at osuosl yet 19:54 <@robbat2|na> but i'm not sure if it was set to to cc to infra correctly 19:54 <@quantumsummers|c> yeah, its there 19:55 <@robbat2|na> ok, so just caddys + install left 19:55 <@NeddySeagoon> sounds like progress anyway 19:55 <@quantumsummers|c> yes 19:55 <@quantumsummers|c> although you can install with the current 2 caddies 19:55 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, Foundation Activity Tracker Update 19:55 <@rich0> At this point we're mostly in execution mode. 19:55 <@quantumsummers|c> there are 2 500GB HDDs that are extra now also 19:56 <@rich0> Quick question - did we ever file in Missouri? 19:56 <@quantumsummers|c> I think that went out, yes 19:56 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, and everyone thought it was a bad idea to add projects on progress ... 19:56 <@quantumsummers|c> I signed the stuff awhile ago 19:56 <@quantumsummers|c> I'll poke the cpa 19:56 <@quantumsummers|c> I suspect the answer is yes 19:56 <@rich0> I think the tracker basically meets it core purpose as an activity reminder. I'd still like to see the per-task pages beefed up, but I don't see that as being essential. 19:57 <@rich0> Ok, if yes then I'll go ahead and create dates on those filings (for 2012). 19:57 <@NeddySeagoon> Lets run with it a while 19:57 <@rich0> Did we file the 990? 19:57 <@quantumsummers|c> rich0: we filed an extension 19:57 <@quantumsummers|c> so, we have another 6 months 19:57 <@rich0> Does that cover the new mexico AG as well? 19:58 <@quantumsummers|c> we file a different thing for NM 19:58 <@quantumsummers|c> that is filed 19:58 <@rich0> One of the NM requirements is a copy of the 990. 19:58 <@quantumsummers|c> apparently was filed on Nov 2 by Heather, although I have no idea why they waited 19:59 <@quantumsummers|c> not for the PRC stuff 19:59 <@NeddySeagoon> Item 4 Bugs 19:59 <@quantumsummers|c> rich0: link me to that 19:59 <@rich0> Ok, feel free to move on with the agenda and I'll send to quantumsummers 19:59 <@quantumsummers|c> thanks 19:59 <@NeddySeagoon> Do we need to discuss any bugs in detail ? 20:01 <@robbat2|na> i think they're all in execution or pending external input 20:01 <@quantumsummers|c> the one 296766, can be closed 20:01 <@quantumsummers|c> that is all done 20:01 <@NeddySeagoon> Thats what I like to hear, it makes the meeting faster 20:02 <@dabbott> Bug 363871 can that be closed 20:02 < willikins> dabbott: https://bugs.gentoo.org/363871 "Consider StartSSL certificate offer"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; IN_P; robbat2:infra-bugs 20:02 <@NeddySeagoon> Item 5 New Busines 20:03 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, do we need to write to them to say no thanks, or leave it until we reconsider ? 20:03 <@robbat2|na> i'll write some emails on it 20:03 <@NeddySeagoon> thanks robbat2|na 20:04 <@NeddySeagoon> George Boyce | Use of Gentoo Artwork ... Alien Cow Abductors 20:05 <@NeddySeagoon> That artwork in under a CCA licence and our logo is a small part of it, so I don't think we can object 20:05 <@NeddySeagoon> is* 20:07 <@dabbott> his request was "I would like permission to use this particular artwork to support a non-profit project under development and described at http://dev.cowabductors.org/" 20:07 <@rich0> So, what do we want to offer them. 20:08 <@rich0> Should we state that we explicitly give him permission to use it as described? 20:08 <@NeddySeagoon> I don't think he needs to ask ... the CCA applies. Its likewhoas wallpaper 20:09 <@rich0> So, should we tell him that he doesn't need to ask? 20:09 <@rich0> Seems like the current non-commercial policy is that he can use it as long as he clarifies that he has nothing to do with us. 20:09 <@NeddySeagoon> He needs to follow whatever licence likewhoa released to artwork unde 20:09 <@rich0> Well, he also has to comply with the logo guidelines regardless of the artwork license. 20:10 <@NeddySeagoon> what does everyone else think ? 20:10 <@rich0> The artwork license only covers copyright, not trademark. 20:10 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, good point 20:10 <@dabbott> its peaches artwork i believe 20:10 <@dabbott> http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/graphics.xml 20:10 <@NeddySeagoon> Oops - he needs to get the attribution right :) 20:10 <@dabbott> licensed under CC-BY-SA/2.5 20:11 <@rich0> From a trademark his use is fine if he is non-commercial. 20:11 <@rich0> If he is commercial we'd need to give him an exemption, since it isn't being used to denote that something contains 'gentoo inside" or whatever. 20:12 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, Its non-commercial - to expose children to robots 20:13 <@rich0> Seems to me that he needs to 1. Check with the artist on their license and comply, and 2. follow the non-commercial guidelines on the logo page and state that the logo is a trademark of gentoo and he isn't gentoo and so on. 20:13 <@rich0> Or, we could give him a pass on having to do #2. 20:13 <@NeddySeagoon> I would like to help him ... I'll put together an email for trustees to review. 20:13 <@NeddySeagoon> Does everyone agree we want to support this ? 20:13 <@rich0> And did I mention that this whole mess is something that would be wonderful to get the SFLC to help out with? 20:14 <@quantumsummers|c> yes, their help would be nice 20:14 <@rich0> I definitely want to remove any burdens. 20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> Its educational after all and thats a part of our stated objectives 20:14 <@dabbott> thanks NeddySeagoon he was confused over the different licenses involved 20:14 <@rich0> Whatever form that has to take - we shouldn't be standing in their way. 20:14 <@quantumsummers|c> tbh, I am more than a little upset at the way we were sort of "dropped" if you will 20:14 <@quantumsummers|c> or forgotten more likely 20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, I told him it would bediscussed now 20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> its not dropped 20:15 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, I see no reason that he cannot use that image without our logo in ther 20:15 <@quantumsummers|c> I meant sflc forgot us 20:15 <@NeddySeagoon> Ah ok. 20:15 <@NeddySeagoon> I will put together a reply on this and send it to the alias for comment 20:16 <@rich0> Sounds good. 20:16 <@dabbott> again thanks 20:16 <@NeddySeagoon> I will put a placeholder into George too 20:17 <@NeddySeagoon> next item Gentoo Logo Usage Policy 20:17 <@rich0> Ugh 20:17 <@NeddySeagoon> This could be a long one and we have been running 70 min already, should we hold this over ? 20:18 <@rich0> I think that makes sense, or maybe consider it as something to bring up in our SFLC re-engagement? 20:18 <@NeddySeagoon> that sounds good but SFLC won't respond quickly 20:18 <@rich0> My suggestion is that we come up with some kind of holistic policy that covers copyright/trademark/etc so that we don't have these confusing double-treatments. 20:18 <@rich0> But we don't have to hash that out now. 20:19 <@rich0> Maybe we should consider reading the stuff in the agenda as homework in the meantime. 20:19 <@dabbott> lets brainstorm on the ml 20:19 <@rich0> Yes - sounds good. 20:19 <@NeddySeagoon> I like that - maybe two logos like Debian.
