Let's continue. 12:13:07 <kshlm> As kkeithley volunteered to host the next meeting there will not be any call for hosts this week. 12:13:12 <kshlm> #topic Open floor 12:13:35 <kshlm> #topic FSFE etherpad shutting down. 12:13:44 <kshlm> So this was brought up last week. 12:14:32 <kshlm> We decided to find and archive any existing pads into github wikis. 12:14:50 <kshlm> nigelb and I started by archiving the community meeting pad. 12:15:02 <jdarcy> Time to search those browser histories. 12:15:11 <kshlm> Now we need to begin finding all other pads. 12:15:19 <kshlm> And we'll need help with this. 12:15:58 <kshlm> If someone is willing to lead the effort of searching and collecting these, please volunteer. 12:16:09 <kshlm> jdarcy, Yup. It's time. 12:16:59 <kshlm> By the way, the archived pad is at http://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/wiki/Community-meeting-archive 12:17:40 <kshlm> New meetings starting from last week will have their own pages as http://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/wiki/Community-meeting-YYYY-MM-DD 12:18:15 <kshlm> I've created a new template at https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/wiki/Community-meeting-template to help ease creation of a new pad everyweek. 12:18:31 <kshlm> Does anyone have any questions about this? 12:20:12 * kshlm feels like he'll talking all by himself today 12:20:48 <jdarcy> Sorry. Up late last night, might have been drinking, still a bit groggy. 12:21:11 <Saravanakmr> kshlm, We need a page for this one too - https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-community-meetings 12:21:48 <kshlm> Saravanakmr, that's been archived. 12:21:58 <kshlm> I'll archive the current one after the meeting. 12:22:05 <samikshan> http://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/wiki/Community-meeting-archive has that right? 12:22:28 <post-factum> why abandoning etherpads? 12:22:38 <kshlm> post-factum, FSFE etherpad is shutting down. 12:22:46 <Saravanakmr> post-factum, Please note that the FSFE pad service will be decommissioned. We no longer recommend to use it for any active project. Please see our decommission notice for more information about this. The final date of accessing information in this pad will be the 1st of February 2017 and we welcome the help from anyone interested in helping us setup and maintain a new, modern, pad service. 12:22:46 <post-factum> oh. strange. why? 12:22:58 <kshlm> It'll turn read-only from Dec-1. And turn off Feb 1 12:23:00 <Saravanakmr> post-factum, this is message displayed 12:23:21 <post-factum> hmm okay thanks kshlm, Saravanakmr 12:23:29 <Saravanakmr> I think this decision may be reviewed in future - but we should be ready. 12:24:03 <kshlm> Anyone want to volunteer help find and collect gluster etherpads on FSFE? 12:24:31 <Saravanakmr> kshlm, I will do 12:24:41 <kshlm> Saravanakmr, Cool. 12:24:43 <Saravanakmr> with your help :) 12:25:39 <kshlm> #action Saravanakmr will take up the task for finding and collecting all gluster etherpads on FSFE etherpad. 12:26:06 <kshlm> Do we have any more questions or comments on this? 12:26:31 <post-factum> yes 12:26:47 <post-factum> will it be moved to github wiki, or we should find some another pad service? 12:27:04 <kshlm> post-factum, The wiki is just a permanent archive. 12:27:09 <post-factum> i mean, will wiki be used as pad? 12:27:16 <Saravanakmr> same question here 12:27:19 <kshlm> Real-time collaboration will happen on ehterpad. 12:27:39 <kshlm> We still need to find an alternative, 12:28:07 <kshlm> but before that, we want to establish some guidelines about how we'd like to use etherpad. 12:28:28 <kshlm> And before we do that, we want to find and archive anything already present. 12:28:39 <post-factum> kshlm, shouldn't be smth fired up on some community server? i mean, self-hosted pad 12:28:44 <post-factum> misc, nigelb ^^ 12:29:07 <kshlm> It could be done. But nigelb wasn't a big fan of it in the last meeting. 12:29:14 <post-factum> heh :) 12:29:16 * rastar enters now 12:29:36 <kshlm> Hey rastar!

I drop her off at the train on the way to work 12:48:07 <post-factum> uh, that would be hard then 12:48:18 <kkeithley> a bit 12:48:51 <kshlm> With kkeithley not available, anyone want to host next weeks meeting? 12:49:18 <kkeithley> sorry about that. I forgot about daylight savings ending. 12:49:56 <kshlm> Offtopic, I thought daylight savings began in the winter. Isn't that when you need to have more light. 12:50:16 <kkeithley> it starts in spring, ends in November 12:50:25 <post-factum> kshlm, vice-versa 12:51:02 <kshlm> Hmm. TIL. 12:51:13 <kshlm> I'm just happy I don't have to deal with it. 12:51:25 <kkeithley> more daylight earlier in the day, so farmers could work in the fields and factory workers need less artificial light. 12:51:28 <kkeithley> Thank the 12:51:48 <kkeithley> Thank the Germans for the idea, back before World War I. 12:52:22 <kkeithley> IIRC 12:52:41 <kkeithley> these days it doesn't matter, but we just keep doing it because that's the way we've always done it. 12:53:02 * kshlm should read up on DST sometime. 12:53:09 <kkeithley> (BTW, that's one of the ways you identify a dinosaur.) 12:53:31 <kkeithley> lol 12:53:44 <kkeithley> read up on it when you have insomnia 12:54:25 <kshlm> Anyways, I volunteer myself as next weeks host. 12:54:47 <kshlm> That's it. 12:54:59 <kshlm> There are no more topics to be discussed. 12:55:13 <kshlm> There aren't any important updates either. 12:55:37 <kshlm> The next 3.8 release (3.8.6) should happen around this weekend. 12:56:25 <kshlm> And we end this meeting the regular announcements, 12:56:25 <kshlm> - If you're attending any event/conference please add the event and yourselves to Gluster attendance of events: http://www.gluster.org/events (replaces https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-events) 12:56:25 <kshlm> - Put (even minor) interesting topics on https://public.pad.fsfe.org/p/gluster-weekly-news 12:56:25 <kshlm> - Remember to add your updates to the next meetings agenda. 12:56:34 <kshlm> Thanks all. 12:56:45 <kshlm> See you all next week. 12:57:02 <kshlm> #endmeeting
