[12:00:05] [I have joined #xf-bod]
[12:01:03] <Lyude> Hi everyone! Time for rolecall - alyssa, danvet, mdnavare, mfilion, rg3igalia, samuelig, anholt 
[12:02:08] <danvet> around
[12:02:09] <danvet> ish
[12:02:15] <tlwoerner> hello
[12:02:48] <anholt> here
[12:03:43] <mfilion> o/
[12:04:37] <mdnavare> Hi all
[12:05:18] <Lyude> Hey everyone! Looks like we've got quorum :3, so the agenda for today: Matrix/not-twitter, XDC2023/XDC2024, GSoC/Outreachy/EVoC, Elections, let me know if I'm missing anything
[12:05:52] <Lyude> Matrix/not-twitter: I will actually like try to get this done this week, I've been putting it off because I've still been kinda busy catching up at work after I got sick but I'm pretty much set there finally.
[12:06:16] <Lyude> tlwoerner: do you want to go into GSoC stuff?
[12:06:27] <tlwoerner> sure
[12:06:34] <tlwoerner> the deadline for contributor proposals closed yesterday
[12:06:41] <tlwoerner> we have 10 proposals (I think that's the most I've ever seen in one season)
[12:06:49] <tlwoerner> 6 are to add unit tests, 5 for the DRM code specifically
[12:07:44] <tlwoerner> 1 for nouveau, 1 for pipewire, gpu vulkan selector tool, and some ci/cd project mupuf is working on
[12:08:34] <alyssa> sorry yes here
[12:08:34] <tlwoerner> we have 7 mentors so far
[12:08:47] <tlwoerner> we could certainly use a couple more ;-)
[12:09:11] <tlwoerner> the mentors have until April 27 to rank the proposals
[12:09:33] <tlwoerner> i would like to have a mailing list to help coordinate the mentors
[12:09:42] <tlwoerner> maybe add the contributors too? not sure
[12:09:52] <tlwoerner> perhaps create an irc channel as well
[12:10:24] <mupuf> 10! Not bad!
[12:10:32] <mfilion> yeah 10 is great
[12:11:31] <tlwoerner> but with only 7 mentors, the outcome won't be to everyone's liking
[12:12:30] <Lyude> tlwoerner: I think the mailing list shouldn't be too hard to do, daniels ^ btw (I will poke whot/bentiss too, since I assume you might be a bit busy for something like that)
[12:12:56] <tlwoerner> Lyude: emersion gave it a poke the other day
[12:13:13] <tlwoerner> i think we're blocked on a name
[12:13:39] <tlwoerner> xorg-mentors sounds good, danvet suggested renaming the evoc@ one that we already have
[12:14:05] <danvet> xorg-mentors sounds good to me
[12:14:06] <tlwoerner> it would be great if i could add/remove people from the list directly
[12:14:23] <danvet> aside from the xorg-mentors@x.org fun
[12:14:28] <Lyude> tlwoerner: that should also be easy to do I think? I am fairly sure you can have a moderation password separately from the ml admin password
[12:15:18] <danvet> Lyude, also I thought emersion is taking care of m-l stuff?
[12:15:24] <Lyude> ah right whoops
[12:15:59] <tlwoerner> emersion is trying to find a mentor for the pipewire project, but no luck so far (that i'm aware)
[12:16:26] <emersion> hm there is already https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-mentors
[12:16:39] <emersion> from 2005
[12:16:42] <tlwoerner> lol
[12:18:01] <emersion> also i don't think evoc
[12:18:26] <tlwoerner> ooh! the subscriber list is not behind a password
[12:19:08] <emersion> right… a "feature" of mailman
[12:19:38] <Lyude> tlwoerner: is that all btw?
[12:20:10] <tlwoerner> Lyude: that's all i have to say, if i could get admin to xorg-mentors that would be great
[12:20:11] <danvet> emersion, could we just forward evoc to xorg-mentors and sunset evoc?
[12:20:21] <danvet> maybe after all current evoc subscribers are shuffled over
[12:20:36] <Lyude> tlwoerner: no problem, I think we can work with emersion to get stuff setup today
[12:20:54] <tlwoerner> great, thanks. 
[12:20:57] <Lyude> samuelig: haven't seen you talk yet so I'll skip you for the time being but let me know if you're around for an XDC update
[12:21:42] <Lyude> that just leaves elections, rg3igalia / mfilion ?
[12:21:58] <danvet> oh on xdc rfp for 2024 needs to get going I guess?
[12:23:00] <mfilion> wait what's needed for non-twitter stuff? I missed some of that discussion, what was decided for mastodon?
[12:23:17] <Lyude> mfilion: I just need to decide on an instance and setup an account, that's pretty much it lol
[12:23:33] <mfilion> I'm happy to do it too if you don't have time, I already spent alot of time on it
[12:23:36] <Lyude> we just wanted to get an account on there since Twitter's future is quite uncertain
[12:23:43] <Lyude> mfilion: oh yeah sure, that works for me :)
[12:23:52] <mfilion> haha quite uncertain is almost an understatement :p
[12:24:54] <alyssa> torch the twitter
[12:24:57] * alyssa presses red btuton
[12:25:26] <mfilion> lol
[12:25:52] <danvet> I think twitter's future is quite certain
[12:25:59] <danvet> it will continue to burn until it's gone
[12:26:07] <Lyude> yeah
[12:26:37] <Lyude> btw who is actually on election committee that's handling stuff?
[12:26:46] <Lyude> I know rg3igalia is but it doesn't seem like they're around to give an update
[12:26:55] <danvet> rg3igalia, and mfilion 
[12:27:07] <Lyude> mfilion: any updates then?
[12:27:07] <danvet> plus a bunch of people who hopefully ack whatever it is these two are doing :-)
[12:28:04] <mfilion> I spoke with rg3igalia on monday and he was supposed to confirm all the candidates but I haven't seen anything since
[12:28:18] <mfilion> right now it looks like we'll have 8, making it our biggest election yet
[12:28:28] <mfilion> (did not expect that lol)
[12:28:35] <alyssa> oh nice
[12:28:39] <alyssa> did I miss this nomination emails
[12:28:39] <Lyude> woah
[12:28:49] <alyssa> (did they all come in today? :P)
[12:30:16] <mfilion> 3 seeking re-election, 1 who's tried before, 4 newcomers
[12:32:14] <mfilion> re mastodon, any preference for the server? I'm quite happy with floss.social so far (via collabora), and there's already alot of big accounts on it too including gnome, kde, gtk, webkitgtk, fossasia, 9to5linux, etc
[12:32:33] * anholt off to another meeting
[12:33:12] <alyssa> mfilion: migrating instances is easy enough that I'm not worried as long as we reasonably trust the admins to not screw us over
[12:33:25] <Lyude> yeah I think floss.social would work fine for me
[12:34:02] <alyssa> ideally we'd be an @fd.o vanity handle but that probably isn't worth the expense right now
[12:34:17] <Lyude> definitely not, and unfortunately running a mastodon instance isn't a small task
[12:34:26] <alyssa> ?
[12:34:34] <alyssa> $100/yr for someone else to do it :p
[12:34:52] <Lyude> oh that's not terrible, still tho I think we're probably fine just on floss.social
[12:35:24] <mfilion> I've spoken a few times to the admins, and collabora is sponsoring their servers too, so I'm not worried about being screwed over
[12:35:45] <alyssa> \o/
[12:36:45] <Lyude> I guess that's basically it
[12:37:11] <mfilion> I'll follow up with rg3igalia for the elections but we can basically get it going in the coming week or so
[12:37:19] <Lyude> emersion: do you need anything from our side to get the ML setup for GSoC?
[12:37:22] <Lyude> mfilion: sgtm :)
[12:37:33] <mfilion> do we have wording anywhere regarding the sfc vote?
[12:37:38] <mfilion> or does that need to be written?
[12:37:54] <Lyude> mfilion: I think it probably needs to be written, we do have a summary of all of the changes ready to go though iirc
[12:38:33] <mfilion> ok cool, can you forward me the summary Lyude so its a the top of my inbox please? will write something up with it
[12:38:59] <Lyude> danvet: it was the commit history stuff that you wrote up right?
[12:39:12] <danvet> mfilion, uh the PR has the overview, maybe just copy that over into the 2 questions + do not forget the links
[12:39:21] <Lyude> oh ok :)
[12:39:32] <danvet> I also sent out a mail with the proposed voting text and that's the thing we voted to submit to members
[12:40:01] <mfilion> oh awesome ok, thank you danvet. 
[12:40:48] <mfilion> so I guess I don't need to write anything then hehe
[12:42:17] <Lyude> also that's it for the meeting everyone, thanks for coming!
[12:42:57] <mfilion> thanks everyone
[12:48:09] <daniels> List already exists: xorg-mentors
[12:48:09] <daniels> zsh: exit 1     newlist xorg-mentors@lists.x.org
[12:48:09] <daniels> lul
[12:48:39] <Lyude> ah ok lol
[12:48:40] <alyssa> \o/
[12:51:36] <daniels> Lyude, tlwoerner: you both have the list pw
[12:52:08] <daniels> I cleared out the settings and tried to give you as much of a blank slate as possible since the last admin was @sun.com, but it's yours now so feel free to just do whatever
[12:54:19] <tlwoerner> daniels: perfect, thank you :-)
[13:06:04] <daniels> np!
