21 |
Feb 19 14:00:55 <quantumsummers_> who is logging? |
22 |
Feb 19 14:01:17 <dabbott> i am |
23 |
Feb 19 14:01:27 <quantumsummers_> cool, I have a log as well |
24 |
Feb 19 14:01:35 <quantumsummers_> 3. Old Business |
25 |
Feb 19 14:01:45 <dabbott> refresh the agenda i added a few bug numbers |
26 |
Feb 19 14:01:45 <quantumsummers_> Gentoo Logo Usage Policy |
27 |
Feb 19 14:02:33 <dabbott> this is still ongoing |
28 |
Feb 19 14:03:36 <quantumsummers_> yes, it looks like progress however. |
29 |
rich0, was there anything you found since last meeting? |
30 |
Feb 19 14:04:01 <rich0> Not yet - posting a first draft agreement is still on |
31 |
my to-do list. |
32 |
Feb 19 14:04:49 <quantumsummers_> ok. |
33 |
Feb 19 14:05:04 <quantumsummers_> anything else on this topic? |
34 |
Feb 19 14:05:15 <robbat2> hi |
35 |
Feb 19 14:05:46 <dabbott> hi robbat2 |
36 |
Feb 19 14:06:05 <rich0> Nothing from me |
37 |
Feb 19 14:06:19 <quantumsummers_> ok |
38 |
Feb 19 14:06:26 <quantumsummers_> no updates from sflc |
39 |
Feb 19 14:06:43 <dabbott> plan B? |
40 |
Feb 19 14:07:36 <quantumsummers_> while I am thinking about it, let me write |
41 |
a quick email |
42 |
Feb 19 14:10:02 * ABCD (~quassel@gentoo/developer/abcd) has joined |
43 |
#gentoo-trustees |
44 |
Feb 19 14:11:01 <quantumsummers_> ok |
45 |
Feb 19 14:11:21 <quantumsummers_> dabbott: lets see what response I get, or |
46 |
we will need to create a plan b |
47 |
Feb 19 14:11:47 <quantumsummers_> as I do not have any good ideas for |
48 |
finding council that has the expertise of sflxc |
49 |
Feb 19 14:11:50 <quantumsummers_> *sflc |
50 |
Feb 19 14:11:52 <dabbott> sure |
51 |
Feb 19 14:12:22 <dabbott> I was thinking of contacting the large distros for |
52 |
referrals |
53 |
Feb 19 14:12:34 <quantumsummers_> dabbott: that is not a bad idea at all. |
54 |
Feb 19 14:13:26 <quantumsummers_> reminds me I need to contact fenwick |
55 |
people about the trademark engagement. I have a feeling that to continue the |
56 |
engagement there, we may have to pay a bit. |
57 |
Feb 19 14:13:36 <quantumsummers_> given that they tried to drop us |
58 |
Feb 19 14:13:43 <quantumsummers_> or at least it seemed that way |
59 |
Feb 19 14:15:24 <quantumsummers_> I'll just call on Tuesday (Monday is a |
60 |
holiday) |
61 |
Feb 19 14:16:18 <quantumsummers_> ok, on my calendar |
62 |
Feb 19 14:16:51 <quantumsummers_> they may be able to assist with some |
63 |
elements of logo policy since it interrelates with trademark |
64 |
Feb 19 14:16:55 <quantumsummers_> we shall see |
65 |
Feb 19 14:17:12 <quantumsummers_> ok, rich0 anything on the tracker? |
66 |
Feb 19 14:18:42 <rich0> Nothing new - next item that is coming due is our |
67 |
taxes. |
68 |
Feb 19 14:18:50 <quantumsummers_> yep. |
69 |
Feb 19 14:18:50 <rich0> Assuming we haven't filed them yet. |
70 |
Feb 19 14:19:08 <quantumsummers_> I thought I entered this already |
71 |
Feb 19 14:19:28 <rich0> The last I had heard we had filed for an extension. |
72 |
Feb 19 14:19:35 <rich0> That will come due in April. |
73 |
Feb 19 14:19:37 <quantumsummers_> I have a meeting next week to go over |
74 |
everything with the CPA. I think they are either finished or nearly so |
75 |
Feb 19 14:19:54 <rich0> Great news - just let me know when it is filed or feel |
76 |
free to update the tracker. |
77 |
Feb 19 14:19:57 <quantumsummers_> so, I'll sign and we'll file asap |
78 |
Feb 19 14:20:01 <quantumsummers_> yessir |
79 |
Feb 19 14:20:13 <dabbott> good work quantumsummers_ :) |
80 |
Feb 19 14:20:13 <quantumsummers_> sorry for getting off track there |
81 |
Feb 19 14:20:19 <quantumsummers_> thanks |
82 |
Feb 19 14:20:36 <rich0> Yes, definitely great work! That will be a major |
83 |
milestone for the Foundation. |
84 |
Feb 19 14:20:57 <quantumsummers_> yes, we should be all caught up finally! |
85 |
Feb 19 14:21:38 <quantumsummers_> ok, so open bugs |
86 |
Feb 19 14:21:57 <quantumsummers_> out of order |
87 |
Feb 19 14:22:06 <quantumsummers_> here is one that we should address now |
88 |
Feb 19 14:22:18 <quantumsummers_> bug 390205 |
89 |
Feb 19 14:22:21 <willikins> quantumsummers_: https://bugs.gentoo.org/390205 |

"app-text/notecase-pro licensing"; Gentoo Linux, Ebuilds; CONF; |
91 |
johneed:maksbotan |
92 |
Feb 19 14:22:24 <dabbott> some of the bugs are duplicated down in the agenda |
93 |
Feb 19 14:22:34 <quantumsummers_> dabbott: ah yes. no biggie |
94 |
Feb 19 14:22:58 <quantumsummers_> so that notecase-pro |
95 |
Feb 19 14:23:12 <quantumsummers_> I think that one is getting punted from |
96 |
the tree, or am I mistaken? |
97 |
Feb 19 14:23:27 <rich0> Not that I've heard. |
98 |
Feb 19 14:23:37 <rich0> Or are you suggesting it should be punted? |
99 |
Feb 19 14:23:42 <quantumsummers_> ah, ok. reading again, it looks like we're |
100 |
in teh clear |
101 |
Feb 19 14:24:09 <rich0> I do agree that at the very least the LICENSE in the |
102 |
ebuild must be fixed asap. |
103 |
Feb 19 14:24:25 <rich0> The fact that there isn't much maintainer action makes |
104 |
me wonder if it is maintained. |
105 |
Feb 19 14:24:28 <quantumsummers_> we do not need to mirror anything, so we |
106 |
put the onus on the end user. Yes, the LICENSE needs to be updated |
107 |
Feb 19 14:24:46 <quantumsummers_> I don't know anything about the package, |
108 |
so.. |
109 |
Feb 19 14:25:35 <rich0> My suggestion is that the maintainer has already |
110 |
failed to respond - probably best to just treeclean it. I have no objections |
111 |
to it being unmasked and kept if the LICENSE is first fixed. |
112 |
Feb 19 14:25:51 <quantumsummers_> rich0: I fully agree with that course of |
113 |
action |
114 |
Feb 19 14:25:56 <robbat2> +1 |
115 |
Feb 19 14:26:05 <quantumsummers_> rich0: mind updating the bug? |
116 |
Feb 19 14:26:08 <dabbott> +1 |
117 |
Feb 19 14:26:10 <rich0> Will do - right now. |
118 |
Feb 19 14:26:14 <quantumsummers_> cc treecleaners maybe |
119 |
Feb 19 14:26:27 <quantumsummers_> I don't want this one to fall off the |
120 |
radar |
121 |
Feb 19 14:26:55 <rich0> Will do |
122 |

127 |
Feb 19 14:28:32 <quantumsummers_> to answer robbat2's question in comment |
128 |
#24, yes I think we need to update the logo page to reflect the new license |
129 |
Feb 19 14:30:04 <rich0> Agreed, we should also note in the comments that a |
130 |
unified trademark/copyright license policy is forthcoming. |
131 |
Feb 19 14:30:04 <quantumsummers_> as far as that bug, I assume that the |
132 |
choice of CCPL-Sampling-Plus-1.0 allows this bug to be closed with some |
133 |
guidance? |
134 |
Feb 19 14:30:05 <dabbott> I am fine with that, robbat2 can you update the |
135 |
page? |
136 |
Feb 19 14:30:25 <dabbott> do we need a motion? |
137 |
Feb 19 14:30:43 <rich0> I do agree with ulm's comment that sampling+ is a bit |
138 |
of a hack - which is what we'll aim to fix with that longer-term. |
139 |
Feb 19 14:31:07 <quantumsummers_> dabbott: I don't think so, since we |
140 |
already decided about the CCPL... license |
141 |
Feb 19 14:31:36 <robbat2> ok, i'll work out a rewording and email it to the |
142 |
alias for review? |
143 |
Feb 19 14:31:43 <quantumsummers_> sounds great robbat2 |
144 |
Feb 19 14:32:12 <quantumsummers_> anything else here? |

156 |
Feb 19 14:35:41 <rich0> My sense is that they're basically compliant already |
157 |
with the policy as far as the Foundation is concerned. Separately we can |
158 |
mention that they might want to inquire with the German group. |
159 |
Feb 19 14:36:03 <dabbott> fine here |
160 |

163 |
Feb 19 14:37:01 <quantumsummers_> rich0: can you update the bug an notify |

the group? |
165 |
Feb 19 14:37:05 <quantumsummers_> *and |
166 |
Feb 19 14:37:05 <rich0> Will do. |

Feb 19 14:43:01 <quantumsummers_> I never received anything from sflc on |
216 |
this question |
217 |
Feb 19 14:43:16 <quantumsummers_> I think the issue is more political than |
218 |
anything |
219 |
Feb 19 14:43:19 <robbat2> ok, i'm going to add -ir to the list |
220 |
Feb 19 14:43:26 <quantumsummers_> robbat2: wait a sec please |
221 |
Feb 19 14:43:42 <quantumsummers_> can we use the language instead? |
222 |
Feb 19 14:44:11 <quantumsummers_> which is farsi I believe? |
223 |
Feb 19 14:44:32 <dabbott> there may be many |
224 |
Feb 19 14:44:34 <rich0> Targetting the language is a good way to sidestep the |
225 |
legal issues. |
226 |
Feb 19 14:45:03 <quantumsummers_> rich0: that is my thought |
227 |
Feb 19 14:45:16 <rich0> Still, I see this more as providing information. |
228 |
Gentoo isn't actually providing any funding or infrastructure to any Iranian |
229 |
interest per-se. |
230 |
Feb 19 14:45:27 <robbat2> Iran has ~75 languages |
231 |
Feb 19 14:46:07 <rich0> If we get some kind of takedown we could of course |
232 |
comply immediately until it can be cleared up legally. However, I don't know |
233 |
that embargos mean that you can't link to websites or IRC channels. |
234 |
Feb 19 14:46:20 <rich0> I'd think that Freenode has the bigger problem. |
235 |
Feb 19 14:46:46 <robbat2> ~11 of those are more than 1M speakers |
236 |
Feb 19 14:46:52 <quantumsummers_> iran is just a touchy situation right now, |
237 |
but yeah I doubt it will be trouble for us unless there is some bad deed that |
238 |
occurs in that channel |
239 |
Feb 19 14:47:06 <quantumsummers_> then its just PR trouble |
240 |
Feb 19 14:47:15 <quantumsummers_> seems fine to go ahead, from my pov |
241 |
Feb 19 14:47:18 <robbat2> Facebook supports Iran since the green revolution |
242 |
far more than we would be |
243 |
Feb 19 14:47:40 <quantumsummers_> ok, lets go ahead with it robbat2 |
244 |
Feb 19 14:47:53 <dabbott> I am for adding the channel |
245 |
Feb 19 14:47:54 <quantumsummers_> do we have a consensus? |

Feb 19 14:48:20 <quantumsummers_> proceed robbat2 |

Feb 19 14:50:38 <quantumsummers_> my position, and I think robbat2 agrees, |

Feb 19 14:51:41 <quantumsummers_> this does bring up a much larger issue, |
271 |
that of copyright for contributors, etc |
272 |
Feb 19 14:51:59 <rich0> Tend to agree. If Arcady complains we could rewrite |
273 |
the parts not already in the ebuild.skel. |
274 |
Feb 19 14:52:17 <rich0> My feeling is that we should stick with the current |
275 |
devmanual policy. |
276 |
Feb 19 14:52:29 <quantumsummers_> I agree |
277 |
Feb 19 14:52:34 <dabbott> +1 |
278 |
Feb 19 14:52:44 <rich0> If a contributor actually modifies the copyright |
279 |
header we should point that out in the bug before simply changing it and give |
280 |
them a little time to express any objections. |
281 |
Feb 19 14:53:06 <quantumsummers_> if the header is changed, repoman should |
282 |
reject the commit |
283 |
Feb 19 14:53:11 <quantumsummers_> now |
284 |
Feb 19 14:53:15 <rich0> However, in general we should not commit into portage |
285 |
anything that violates the current policy, unless a considered change to the |
286 |
policy is first made. |
287 |
Feb 19 14:53:16 <quantumsummers_> that was fixed I think |
288 |
Feb 19 14:53:57 <rich0> Yup - I was thinking more in terms of a |
289 |
proxy-maintainer submitting something non-compliant. A dev should correct |
290 |
this, note it in the bug, and give the contributor a few days to object. |
291 |
Feb 19 14:54:09 <quantumsummers_> thing is, all contributors are listed in |
292 |
the Changelog. In the case that its long, then its in the cvs repo |
293 |
Feb 19 14:54:19 <rich0> Agreed. |
294 |
Feb 19 14:54:22 <quantumsummers_> yeah, rich0, that makes sense |
295 |
Feb 19 14:54:43 <rich0> Otherwise I can see a big legal mess down the road if |
296 |
that gets out of hand. |
297 |
Feb 19 14:55:11 <quantumsummers_> yeah, and maintenance mess too |
298 |
Feb 19 14:55:46 <rich0> Ok, so should we just comment on the bug and turn it |
299 |
back to QA? |
300 |
Feb 19 14:56:17 <dabbott> yes my position is we support the dev manual |
301 |
Feb 19 14:56:18 <quantumsummers_> yeah. seems ok to me |
302 |
Feb 19 14:56:29 <quantumsummers_> its been that way for quite a long itme |
303 |
Feb 19 14:56:32 <quantumsummers_> *time |
304 |
Feb 19 14:56:52 <quantumsummers_> robbat2: anything to add? |
305 |
Feb 19 14:56:58 <robbat2> noe |
306 |
Feb 19 14:56:59 <robbat2> *nope |
307 |
Feb 19 14:57:21 <quantumsummers_> ok |
308 |
Feb 19 14:57:35 <rich0> I can note this in the bug if desired. |
309 |
Feb 19 14:57:42 <quantumsummers_> rich0: please do |
310 |
Feb 19 14:57:55 <dabbott> thanks |
311 |
Feb 19 14:58:13 <quantumsummers_> ok, Foundation Membership for developer |
312 |
Ian Stakenvicius, aka axs |
313 |
Feb 19 14:58:23 <quantumsummers_> all in favor, vote aye |
314 |
Feb 19 14:58:28 <dabbott> aye |
315 |
Feb 19 14:58:37 <quantumsummers_> aye |
316 |
Feb 19 14:58:49 <quantumsummers_> rich0 and robbat2? |
317 |
Feb 19 14:59:01 <rich0> aye |
318 |
Feb 19 15:01:18 <quantumsummers_> well, we have enough to pass |
319 |
Feb 19 15:01:26 <quantumsummers_> so he is approved by majority vote |
320 |
Feb 19 15:01:29 <robbat2> +1 |
321 |
Feb 19 15:01:39 <rich0> WORKSFORME |
322 |
Feb 19 15:01:53 <quantumsummers_> I'll email real fast |
323 |
Feb 19 15:02:01 <quantumsummers_> ok done |
324 |
Feb 19 15:02:11 <quantumsummers_> Bug 404217 |
325 |
Feb 19 15:02:14 <willikins> quantumsummers_: https://bugs.gentoo.org/404217 |
326 |
"Becoming a sponsor with 2 text links"; Gentoo Foundation, Proposals; IN_P; |
327 |
grant:trustees |
328 |
Feb 19 15:02:24 <quantumsummers_> Motion: Deny this request. |
329 |
Feb 19 15:02:58 <quantumsummers_> insufficient contribution to warrant, imo |
330 |
Feb 19 15:03:56 <dabbott> robbat2, opinion |
331 |
Feb 19 15:03:56 <robbat2> seconded |
332 |
Feb 19 15:03:59 <rich0> Tend to agree. We don't really have a cash-donation |
333 |
policy and it wouldn't hurt to have one, but this is clearly not much of a |
334 |
contribution compared to our current sponsors. We should be nice about the |
335 |
reply though. I think the sense has been that we're always reluctant to trade |
336 |
cash for sponsorship anyway. |
337 |
Feb 19 15:04:31 <quantumsummers_> ok, please vote on the motion to deny. aye |
338 |
== deny |
339 |
Feb 19 15:04:37 <rich0> aye |
340 |
Feb 19 15:04:38 <robbat2> aye |
341 |
Feb 19 15:04:40 <quantumsummers_> aye |
342 |
Feb 19 15:04:42 <dabbott> aye |
343 |
Feb 19 15:04:45 <quantumsummers_> carried |
344 |
Feb 19 15:05:00 <quantumsummers_> I will write the fellow, unless someone |
345 |
else prefers to do it |
346 |
Feb 19 15:05:20 <dabbott> thanks quantumsummers_ he is a gentoo user seems |
347 |
ok |
348 |
Feb 19 15:05:44 <quantumsummers_> cool, I applaud his intentions, but we are |
349 |
just not setup to allow this at this time. |
350 |
Feb 19 15:05:46 <dabbott> i see hin on the gentoo-user mail list |
351 |
Feb 19 15:06:03 <dabbott> *him |
352 |
Feb 19 15:06:14 <rich0> Maybe some day if we ever get donation badges or |
353 |
something on the forums that might be an appropriate level of acknowledgment. |
354 |
Feb 19 15:06:15 <quantumsummers_> I just wish people would donate and not |
355 |
ask for something in return like links, it would make things much easier |
356 |
Feb 19 15:06:31 <rich0> Many people already do exactly that. |
357 |
Feb 19 15:06:32 <quantumsummers_> rich0: I like that idea. I've seen it in a |
358 |
few places |
359 |
Feb 19 15:07:02 <quantumsummers_> rich0: yes, the majority of donors don't |
360 |
ask for anything |
361 |
Feb 19 15:07:26 <quantumsummers_> alright Date of Next Meeting - 18th Mar |
362 |

Feb 19 15:07:40 <quantumsummers_> anyone object to that date/time? |
365 |
Feb 19 15:07:47 <rich0> Since being CC'ed on the paypal thank-you's I've been |
366 |
amazed by the level of generosity we benefit from. Might be a nice topic for |
367 |
a news article or something... |
368 |
Feb 19 15:07:51 <dabbott> fine here |
369 |
Feb 19 15:08:08 <robbat2> checking my cal |

390 |
report was never posted from the August meeting. |

Feb 19 15:11:24 <quantumsummers_> rich0: noted. I need to get that done. I |
393 |
thought I put that up somewhere in txt form though |
