A patch for the symptom. 15:08:27 so, we could also punt... 15:08:42 I note that the workstation working group is talking about this again tomorrow in their meeting? I think? 15:09:01 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/desktop@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/UZUCUJLV3AZREWJYF77JHEVUY6DWPAP6/ 15:09:47 in that case, it makes sense to punt 15:10:08 Papering over a problem is a time-tested way of solving things in software :-) 15:10:37 and if it isn't working, just add more paper 15:10:40 in the case of Firefox, it's certainly easier than finding where it leaks memory 15:11:16 “Everywhere” isn’t a sufficient answer? *ducks* 15:11:57 I just think it's bad form to automate our workaround for a real problem. That's not actually doing anything and likely to cause more issues. But that's just me. 15:11:58 So move this to next week? 15:12:09 Is waiting for the Workstation WG to meet tomorrow fundamentally different from my proposal? 15:12:30 Other than delaying the decision process 15:12:36 Regarding next week, how many people will be around? 15:12:40 * nirik is fine approving sgallagh's or waiting 15:12:46 (And by extension, potential testing time) 15:13:03 I will not be. I’ll be flying home after DevConf 15:13:06 sgallagh: if we're talking about early oom killers, how much testing do we actually do? :) 15:13:32 * nirik will not be around for next weeks meeting. will be doing other meetings in brno 15:13:42 based on the discussion, sgallagh's proposal looks like it has votes. we can vote now 15:13:45 on that proposal 15:14:11 +1 for sgallagh's proposal FTR 15:14:16 +1 as well 15:14:31 I forgot a line from this template, let's see 15:14:34 .fesco 2320 15:14:35 dcantrell: Issue #2320: F32 System-Wide Change: Enable EarlyOOM - fesco - Pagure.io - https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2320 15:15:07 that line justs makes zodbot post the link and title 15:15:17 I'm learning! 15:15:39 +1 to sgallagh's proposal 15:16:00 I'm still a -1 15:16:26 contyk: still 0? 15:16:28 contyk? 15:16:30 Still. 15:17:13 ok, so (+3, 0, -1) did I count everything 15:17:21 +3, 1, -1 15:17:25 whoops 15:18:02 A majority of the committee (that is, five out of nine) is required to pass a proposal in a meeting. 15:18:24 so we punt anyway, unless there is another proposal 15:18:37 a majority voting? 15:18:46 or majority +? 15:19:15 I read that as majority + 15:19:37 ah, I read it the other way. a majority voting. 15:19:51 is everyone ok punting on this for more people in the discussion? 15:20:03 ack 15:20:10 yeah 15:20:14 Ack. 15:20:22 alright, next question is what is that for the agree decision command here? PUNT? 15:21:09 dcantrell: (I recommend you put your -1 in the ticket to avoid autoapproval with one +1 in 4 days) 15:21:17 ok, I will do that 15:21:24 dcantrell: you can just #info We agreed to punt ... 15:21:51 #info We agreed to punt 2320 to a future meeting and for more discussion 15:22:07 #topic Next week's chair 15:22:17 but do we want to have the meeting next week? 15:22:29 I am ok with scheduling it and trying 15:22:35 but we might not get a lot of people 15:22:44 proposal 15:22:50 I think many people will be traveling or be otherwise busy 15:22:53 next FESCo meeting is in 14 days 15:22:58 mhroncok: +1 15:23:03 mhroncok: +1 15:23:13 that is 2020-02-03 IIRC 15:23:28 ...which I will not attend due to travel. 15:23:36 But better than next week. 15:24:08 anyone else opposed? 15:24:45 nope 15:24:47 next chair? 15:24:52 I volunteer 15:24:57 (I am taking silence here as agreement) 15:25:01 ah, good, my next question 15:25:14 decathorpe chair next meeting: +1 15:25:46 * dcantrell hears crickets 15:26:24 technically, we cannot cancel the next meeting without +5, right? 15:26:52 don't know 15:26:57 don't knwo either 15:27:05 Let's vote on whether we can cancel it with fewer votes. 15:27:11 contyk: :D 15:27:13 Requiring +5. 15:27:24 contyk: file that as a proposal and we can vote in a meeting 15:27:42 I'm fine canceling next week. I won't be around. 15:27:47 I'd say we can cancel it anyway, for practical reasons. 15:28:06 Or not but it's more or less sure we won't have quorum. 15:28:21 ok, I suppose we can #info the decision and if any other fesco member feels betrayed by that, hey can send flowers 15:28:48 that sounds reasonable, but it's probably also us voting on a policy for that 15:28:52 at the next meeting 15:29:34 #info next FESCo meeting scheduled for 2020-02-03 1500 UTC 15:29:54 dcantrell: and decathorpe will chair it 15:30:06 #action decathorpe will chair next meeting 15:30:21 #topic Open Floor 15:30:25 I get nothing 15:30:35 Me neither. 15:31:04 I want to know how fast sgallagh's train is moving 15:31:06 and from where 15:31:28 I suppose sgallagh has left the train 15:31:42 Or the train has left sgallagh 15:32:03 right, or both 15:32:05 the only other thing I have now is a random point of trivia...it is currently colder in Boston than at McMurdo Station in Antarctica right now 15:32:09 🤔 15:32:30 I’m in Brno now. 15:32:37 (and that will likely change, but still, kinda fun) 15:32:49 ok, thanks everyone. enjoy Brno if you're there, enjoy elsewhere if you're there 15:32:54 ... questioning my life choices 15:33:20 #endmeeting
