18:42 * NeddySeagoon bangs the gavel to open the last trustee meeting before the 2011 elections |
58 |
18:42 -!- quantumsummers|a is now known as quantumsummers |
59 |
18:42 <@NeddySeagoon> Roll call - I'm logging |
60 |
18:42 <@quantumsummers> present |
61 |
18:42 < tsunam> I'm ere |
62 |
18:42 < tsunam> here even |
63 |
18:42 <@robbat2> present |
64 |
18:42 <@dabbott> here |
65 |
18:42 <@NeddySeagoon> Agenda Item 2 Old Business |
66 |
18:43 <@NeddySeagoon> 2011 Trustee Election Status Report |
67 |
18:44 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, and robbat2 retire by rotation. Nominations will be help in Feb, exact dates to be determined by the elections project, voting will be in March |
68 |
18:44 <@NeddySeagoon> Today is the recording date |
69 |
18:45 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, you want to say a few words ? |
70 |
18:45 < tsunam> sure thing I'll do that now |
71 |
18:46 < tsunam> As most are aware a few months ago I had some issues with my health. This caused me to step away from my duties for a not insignificant time period |
72 |
18:46 < tsunam> Due to this and luckily by design of how we setup everything the business was able to continue uninterupted. |
73 |
18:47 <@NeddySeagoon> good planning that |
74 |
18:47 < tsunam> However, it also made me consider things in my life including my work for the foundation. What I found is that although I love the work that I've done for the foundation and the members of the foundation I've had the pleasure to work with |
75 |
18:48 < tsunam> that I believe it is time for me to step down during the next election cycle from my position as a trustee and a treasurer, and allow someone who has more motivation and capabilities then I can bring to the positions that people have entrusted to me |
76 |
18:49 <@NeddySeagoon> I would like to propose a vote of thanks to tsunam for his work over the last three years |
77 |
18:49 <@quantumsummers> seconded |
78 |
18:50 <@NeddySeagoon> Vote |
79 |
18:50 <@NeddySeagoon> aye |
80 |
18:50 <@robbat2> aye |
81 |
18:50 <@dabbott> aye |
82 |
18:50 <@quantumsummers> aye. Many Thanks Joshua, many thanks |
83 |
18:50 -!- willikins [~rbot@gentoo/bot/Willikins] has joined #gentoo-trustees |
84 |
18:50 < tsunam> thank you all :) as its about me I need to abstain ;) |
85 |
18:50 <@NeddySeagoon> Thanks for all the hard work tsunam. Make sure we don't owe you money before you leave. |
86 |
18:51 < tsunam> NeddySeagoon: will do |
87 |
18:51 <@NeddySeagoon> Another motion ... |
88 |
18:51 <@NeddySeagoon> I propose that the board endorses the reelection of robbat2 and quantumsummers (if they want to stand) |
89 |
18:52 <@dabbott> seconded |
90 |
18:52 <@NeddySeagoon> Vote |
91 |
18:52 <@NeddySeagoon> aye |
92 |
18:52 < tsunam> aye |
93 |
18:52 <@dabbott> yes |
94 |
18:52 <@quantumsummers> yes |
95 |
18:52 <@robbat2> aye |
96 |
18:53 <@quantumsummers> I do plan to stand again, for the record, and really appreciate the endorsement of the board |
97 |
18:53 <@NeddySeagoon> Carried ... I'll ensure that gets into the notices. |
98 |
18:53 <@robbat2> likewise, I intend to run again, many thanks for the endorsement |
99 |
18:53 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll poke elections too |
100 |
18:54 <@dabbott> thanks to both ++ |
101 |
18:54 <@NeddySeagoon> Any more for elections ? |
102 |
18:54 <@quantumsummers> I am prepared to make the voters list |
103 |
18:54 <@quantumsummers> that is all from me |
104 |
18:54 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, SFLC Questions (Software Freedom Law Center) |
105 |
18:56 <@quantumsummers> ok, so just about everything going on right now is waiting on SFLC. Had a long conversation week before last, following up, doing some new stuff, etc,etc |
106 |
18:56 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, we shou;ld list the questions on the agenda maybe |
107 |
18:56 <@dabbott> yep |
108 |
18:56 <@NeddySeagoon> Is the SFLC being responsive ? |
109 |
18:56 <@quantumsummers> so, the list: cla, the one I proposed was too permissive in license (bsd-ish), recommends fsf version |
110 |
18:57 <@quantumsummers> ah, NeddySeagoon, well it takes a long time to get things done with them |
111 |
18:57 <@quantumsummers> they are responsive, just I have to keep poking them for things or they appear to forget |
112 |
18:57 <@quantumsummers> or are just really busy |
113 |
18:58 <@NeddySeagoon> We seem to have a fair bit with them ... do we need to set priorities to get things turned around in the order we need or is it just 'lawyers at work' ? |
114 |
18:58 <@quantumsummers> there are priorities they are aware of |
115 |
18:59 <@quantumsummers> anyway, back to the list: tax status: long bit here, summed up in the following. SFLC is appointing some junior attorney to handle working with me directly on this. I think this will make things go faster. |
116 |
18:59 <@NeddySeagoon> Sounds good |
117 |
18:59 <@quantumsummers> further, it appears there has been a change in attitude at the IRS, they are slowing down processing of floss applications |
118 |
19:00 <@NeddySeagoon> Care to estimage when our 503(c) application will go in ? |
119 |
19:00 <@quantumsummers> this might make our petition to them greatly extended |
120 |
19:00 <@quantumsummers> its all in sflc court now, their guy is getting with me to collect all my docs, then they have a fair bit of writing ahead of them |
121 |
19:00 <@NeddySeagoon> We can't influence the IRS bit |
122 |
19:00 <@quantumsummers> not likely |
123 |
19:01 <@NeddySeagoon> It sounds positive, just slow |
124 |
19:01 <@quantumsummers> if its denied, we will have to appeal in federal court (sflc would handle this of course) our attorney is experiencing this with another group now |
125 |
19:01 <@quantumsummers> but yes, I am positive. its just likely going to take awhile |
126 |
19:01 <@NeddySeagoon> heh - good practice |
127 |
19:02 < tsunam> heh |
128 |
19:02 < tsunam> progress is progress...and one should never expect speed when it comes to the government..unless you owe them money :) |
129 |
19:02 <@quantumsummers> now, this is mentioned below, but the libtxc_dxtn bit is also awaiting response |
130 |
19:02 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, that must be the same all over the world :) |
131 |
19:03 <@quantumsummers> so, also discussed the transition of tsunam away from the foundation and the record keeping, etc required |
132 |
19:04 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, it sounds like you are on top of things with the SFLC ... is there any more you need to share with us in public ? |
133 |
19:04 < tsunam> I've provided a list of some items previously when I brought it up, but added at least one thing to the list. |
134 |
19:04 <@quantumsummers> I am keeping a repo with a journal and any/all files dealt with in the process |
135 |
19:04 <@quantumsummers> yes, thanks tsunam for the list |
136 |
19:04 <@quantumsummers> very helpful. ducks will line up |
137 |
19:05 <@quantumsummers> is there anything else I need to report on? |
138 |
19:05 <@NeddySeagoon> Sounds good. quantumsummers who else has access? I'm aware you are a single point of failure during the transition |
139 |
19:06 <@quantumsummers> yes, this is a personal repo at the moment. I would push to git.o.g.o if others want access |
140 |
19:06 <@quantumsummers> it would have to be a private repo, of course |
141 |
19:06 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, long term, you cannot be both sec and treasurer |
142 |
19:06 <@robbat2> there should be proper private repos on git.g.o sometime in the next few weeks |
143 |
19:06 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: noted, thanks. |
144 |
19:06 <@NeddySeagoon> its too much work for one |
145 |
19:06 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I know, we need a new treas |
146 |
19:07 <@NeddySeagoon> yep |
147 |
19:07 <@quantumsummers> I think its small enough now that I can easily manage for now |
148 |
19:07 < tsunam> we do have some people who offered to help that were financial types that quantumsummers and I were interacting with that would be perfect for the position of treasurer |
149 |
19:07 <@NeddySeagoon> That has to be on the agenda for April, when we have the AGM |
150 |
19:07 <@quantumsummers> yes, I have one particular candidate that has offered to do bookkeeping |
151 |
19:08 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, that works for me. |
152 |
19:08 <@quantumsummers> I am waiting on sflc to get me the proper docs for this person to sign regarding non-disclosure, privacy, etc |
153 |
19:08 <@NeddySeagoon> treasurer is an officer so it need not be a board member |
154 |
19:09 <@quantumsummers> once we have the legal in place I would like to "test drive" this candidate (and others if needed) |
155 |
19:09 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, is this individual interested in becoming a gentoo staffer ? |
156 |
19:09 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: correct. It would be nice to have some one we know/trust as there will be signatures involved, etc |
157 |
19:10 <@NeddySeagoon> these individuals* |
158 |
19:10 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I would think so, though I have not discussed this specifically |
159 |
19:10 <@NeddySeagoon> they need to do the staff quiz |
160 |
19:10 <@quantumsummers> I guess it would be a requirement |
161 |
19:10 <@NeddySeagoon> Not specifically - but it shows a little comittment |
162 |
19:11 <@NeddySeagoon> any more SFLC stuff? |
163 |
19:11 <@quantumsummers> nope. |
164 |
19:11 <@NeddySeagoon> Agenda Item 4 Bugs |
165 |
19:11 <@quantumsummers> one unrelated bit, I have sent reimbursement checks to the GSOC mentors |
166 |
19:12 <@NeddySeagoon> fine |
167 |
19:12 <@robbat2> NeddySeagoon, err, you missed me |
168 |
19:12 <@robbat2> re UltraDNS followup |
169 |
19:12 <@NeddySeagoon> hehe - sorry robbat2 UltraDNS Wrapup |
170 |
19:12 <@NeddySeagoon> It seems to all be still working ... |
171 |
19:13 <@robbat2> ok, we successfully did the final BIND migration on Dec 27th |
172 |
19:13 <@robbat2> there's one more technical backend bit waiting for the private git repos, but we're operational already |
173 |
19:13 <@robbat2> in terms of paperwork |
174 |
19:13 <@robbat2> we were concerned about being billed for the last month due to when we gave notice |
175 |
19:14 <@robbat2> there wasn't any problems there at all. Our "official cancel date" for to make the Neustar paperwork easier on their end is 2011/01/31. |
176 |
19:14 <@NeddySeagoon> That sounds good |
177 |
19:14 <@robbat2> my contact at Neustar wishes us all the best in future |
178 |
19:15 <@robbat2> that's everything :-) |
179 |
19:16 * NeddySeagoon proposes a vote of thanks to gentoo-infra for the seamless migration of our DNS |
180 |
19:16 <@quantumsummers> seconded |
181 |
19:16 <@NeddySeagoon> Vote |
182 |
19:16 < tsunam> aye |
183 |
19:16 <@NeddySeagoon> aye |
184 |
19:16 <@quantumsummers> aye |
185 |
19:16 <@dabbott> yes hire them |
186 |
19:16 <@robbat2> abstain since it's about infra/me |
187 |
19:16 <@NeddySeagoon> Carried. |
188 |
19:17 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll write to infra@ |
189 |
19:17 <@NeddySeagoon> Agenda Item 4 Bugs Corrections to corporation filing Bug 296766 |
190 |
19:17 < willikins> NeddySeagoon: https://bugs.gentoo.org/296766 "Corrections to corporation filing needed as of 2009/12/13"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; ASSI; robbat2@g.o:trustees@g.o |
191 |
19:18 <@NeddySeagoon> If this isn't already in the post, we may as well wait until the election results are known |
192 |
19:18 < tsunam> I've not sent an update |
193 |
19:18 <@quantumsummers> some of this this went in with our annual report |
194 |
19:19 <@dabbott> we should just wait |
195 |
19:19 <@quantumsummers> I can handle this once the election is done |
196 |
19:19 <@quantumsummers> its a simple form |
197 |
19:19 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, ok - thanks |
198 |
19:19 <@dabbott> also can we help with bug 351045 |
199 |
19:19 < willikins> dabbott: https://bugs.gentoo.org/351045 "www site needs a privacy policy"; Website www.gentoo.org, Social Contract; NEW; robbat2@g.o:infra-bugs@g.o |
200 |
19:19 <@quantumsummers> that is alsoi in the hands of sflc |
201 |
19:20 <@dabbott> ok good enough |
202 |
19:20 <@quantumsummers> I wrote them about this and mentioned the fedora example |
203 |
19:20 <@robbat2> should we get a draft together for them first? |
204 |
19:20 <@quantumsummers> I have a few issues with the fedora version |
205 |
19:20 <@quantumsummers> actually, sure. I started working on a draft last week :) |
206 |
19:20 <@robbat2> quantumsummers, can you list those issues in the bug? |
207 |
19:20 <@quantumsummers> yes I cah |
208 |
19:20 <@quantumsummers> can |
209 |
19:21 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: it would be helpful to know what we do store for example in ldap, versus forums, etc |
210 |
19:21 <@quantumsummers> we can switch out our stuff for the fedora stuff |
211 |
19:22 <@robbat2> ok I can answer that on the bug for better tracking |
212 |
19:22 <@quantumsummers> then I think it comes down to tightening the third party data sharing language |
213 |
19:22 <@quantumsummers> ok, great |
214 |
19:23 <@NeddySeagoon> Any more bugs ? |
215 |

218 |
19:23 <@NeddySeagoon> do we need to discuss them here |

220 |
19:23 <@quantumsummers> oh, up to you chairman |
221 |
19:24 <@quantumsummers> Perhaps I just have way too many things on hte sflc plate at the moment, there are like 15 items |
222 |
19:24 <@NeddySeagoon> No point in going through bugs that have not changed |
223 |

19:32 <@NeddySeagoon> jmbsvicetto, volunteered me to speak a FOSDEM on a joint Foundation/Council/Devrel platform, about the future organisation of gentoo |
271 |
19:32 <@quantumsummers> dabbott: ok thank |
272 |
19:33 <@NeddySeagoon> I' mailed trustees@ for feedback and I had two replies. |
273 |
19:33 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I gave some feedback in this channel, shall I email it for the record? |
274 |
19:33 <@NeddySeagoon> Do I have to speak as an individual, or can I speak on behalf of the Foundation |
275 |
19:33 < tsunam> I'm fine with you speaking on behalf of the foundation |
276 |
19:34 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, no need, I have the log |
277 |
19:34 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: on behalf of the foundation would be nice, I think we should all participate in the draft though |
278 |
19:34 <@robbat2> i trust Neddy, i'd like to read what he says, but I don't need to see a draft |
279 |
19:34 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I will try to get the draft slides out before the end of next weekend |
280 |
19:35 <@quantumsummers> sounds excellent |
281 |
19:35 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll try to record it - voice only. I've got a new toy to take to fosdem :) |
282 |
19:35 <@dabbott> NeddySeagoon: sounds interesting, I am not knowledgable enough on the subject to offer much feedback |
283 |
19:35 <@quantumsummers> nice :) |
284 |
