Feedback from Maemo OBS discussions 16:06:12 back now 16:06:22 I received an apology from SD69 but he sent the following status report. 16:06:33 #info from SD69, At the last meeting, I indicated that Maemo would try to address the topic of a community OBS and provide guidance. We have been able to do that. We had a Maemo Council meeting on the topic, and I am pleased to say that the general consensus was to move forward with it. It seems that we have the support of Nokia in this effort as well. We have already formed a Task Force as well to handle techn 16:07:02 #info Meeting log http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclog/%23maemo-meeting.2012-04-23.log.html 16:07:18 #info A preliminary wiki page is up at http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Maemo_OBS#Goals 16:07:45 Things seem to be progressing there any more status updates anyone wants to make here? 16:08:10 I can 16:08:37 on item 3, go ahead 16:08:57 oh, sorry #1 16:09:11 #topic 1. Mer NFP Status including progress on Donation/Sponsorship Procedures 16:09:24 #info I've made some small progress on the NFP side and we now have a bank account in Mer Project name. 16:09:32 \o 16:10:25 I also have an idea about how to take donations from organisations and not cost us VAT - I need to run that past my accountant first though 16:11:22 ok how close are we to being able to start accepting donations 16:11:26 I wanted to clarify Mer Project donation policy so I have a draft here: 16:11:36 http://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Donation_Policy 16:11:49 vgrade: I'll give bank details to people on demand 16:12:09 ok, can you add that to the Donation Page 16:12:11 I'm not sure but I think it's OK to actually put them on a website 16:13:32 if you can't then just detail the process, " eg, ping lbt for account deets" 16:13:37 yep 16:13:58 I don't know how to best handle saying "thanks" either. I'd like to have a page of "people and companies that support Mer" 16:15:02 (so suggestions welcome!) 16:15:19 you also did a spreadsheet for the AB meeting I recall, that could be updated and published if people want their donation recognised 16:16:18 *nod* 16:16:32 Hi, got in later than expected. 16:17:03 X-Fade, http://mer.bfst.de/meetings/mer-meeting/2012/mer-meeting.2012-04-24-16.00.log.txt 16:17:27 vgrade: Thanks, was reading the backscroll already :) 16:17:38 X-Fade, we took item 3 first, if you have any status for that we can take it now? 16:17:55 OK - that's all for me on #1 16:18:31 I have no progress to report on #2 either yet 16:18:43 #topic 2. Legal Entity Progress 16:18:54 I have no progress to report on #2 either yet 16:18:58 * timoph is a bit late 16:19:12 hmm 16:19:23 timoph, http://mer.bfst.de/meetings/mer-meeting/2012/mer-meeting.2012-04-24-16.00.log.txt 16:19:45 I will say that the Mer AB approved the concept of Mer Project running a community OBS 16:20:05 let me get a link and quote 16:20:51 "AB decides that Mer project is interested in contributing to the community area with the discussed constraints (legal risk to core, collaboration between multiple entities/projects) and allows lbt to investigate solutions to this" 16:21:09 http://mer.bfst.de/meetings/mer-meeting/2012/mer-meeting.2012-04-20-11.03.html 16:22:08 ok thanks lbt 16:22:10 there's lots of discussion in the log but I don't think it's that interesting :) 16:22:42 for the record, I personally don't see this as a high priority task just yet 16:23:33 If people do feel a sense of urgency about having a legal entity established then let me know 16:24:22 yes, we have time to set this up, just keeping it on the agenda so we get a sync 16:25:29 anything else from anyone? 16:26:37 Not really :) 16:27:04 I'll keep the agenda items the same so we can sync with the Maemo efforts and set another meeting for say the 15th May as people will be out at Tizen conf 16:27:14 OK 16:27:19 hmm 16:27:32 usernames 16:27:49 for 16:28:05 the replacement for the meego cobs :) 16:28:22 essentially we can't take meego accounts 16:28:44 imo not a big thing to ask for a new acc 16:28:47 but we can take data 16:28:49 Well.. 16:28:53 there are maemo accounts - but they don't map to meego ones 16:29:02 We can probably take the username + pw when the user agrees? 16:29:14 And afaik MeeGo.com is an openid provider? 16:30:10 I'd like to get users to register their meego.com account on mer and verify that the emails match or something 16:30:29 I wouldn't have thought you'd want a defacto migration 16:30:41 slaine: normally no 16:30:47 but home: 16:30:48 and you should be able to do a copy pac from the meego servers to the mer servers 16:31:02 privacy policy matters 16:31:04 as a user that is 16:31:26 and I don't want people to 'lose' their meego account/home names 16:31:33 unless they want to 16:31:37 yep. I was prepared to having to move my stuff manually 16:31:41 can live that 16:31:58 good excuse to do some cleaning there :) 16:32:08 mmm 16:32:11 Hehe 16:32:14 I don't see it happening :) 16:32:27 I see a last minute "ooh, can't you do it automatically" 16:32:48 but anyhow... just raising the issue for consideration 16:33:13 yeah. a valid point 16:33:20 maybe as something to raise for discussion in maemo and meego and mer communities 16:33:31 yep 16:33:35 totally, but I think timoph and myself are on the same page, it's a good chance to clean up and take over only what you need 16:33:38 #info username and migration policy to be discussed and agreed 16:34:05 actually the cleaning thing might be a good reason to make people move their stuff manually 16:34:22 I can see the benefit there 16:34:23 I bet there's a lot of broken abandoned packages there 16:34:24 otherwise we'll inherit a lot of cruft 16:34:27 oh yes 16:34:32 And copypac is not a whole lot of work anyway. 16:34:38 We can write a short howto. 16:34:39 exactly 16:34:54 from a hosting perspective there'll be a win too 16:35:54 well, people may want to ensure they have their usernames registered on bugzilla on merproject then.... and maybe I need a captcha there soon 16:36:51 I'd like to get someone from Plasma Active to comment 16:37:18 I'd think that account collisions are rare. 16:39:04 can we make a decision here then for manual migration? 16:39:51 or add as an agenda item for next time? 16:40:51 manual migration makes sense 16:40:56 I just know I'd be a bit miffed if someone took my nick :D 16:41:20 not sure how likely it is though 16:42:07 I can't see it and it should be easy to rectify 16:42:19 np 16:42:30 With maemo and meego, I haven't seen one issue with that though. 16:43:06 I will add to the agenda for next time so if anyone has any stong feelins they can air them next time 16:44:05 AOB? 16:44:22 not here 16:44:56 No from me 16:45:00 *not 16:45:19 Thanks for giving your time today 16:45:31 #endmeeting
