It's been a long day and my mind is not really working anymore. 18:14:14 (neither is my other matrix account) 18:14:43 ok 18:14:49 #topic https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/131 18:14:54 it was a long day indeed. though I didn't work today, so I have less reason on that part ;) 18:15:01 @cybette:ansible.im cyb-clock chimes every 15 minutes during the community meeting 18:15:02 it's still empty 18:15:23 oh right, that one 18:15:23 yep, it was a looong day 18:15:29 sorry, forgot again :( 18:15:41 no worries 18:16:02 if someone remember all related topics, please put the links to the issue 18:16:15 i could try to formulate questions myself 18:16:27 though no promises 18:17:27 my tired at this time as usual brain is making stupid grammar mistakes 18:18:14 One possible question is: "Are we violating any licensing requirements if we fail to include every single file from a repository in the associated distribution artifact (Ansible collection)?" 18:19:02 Or to put it another way, "Can we leave files out of the distribution artifact without violating the license?" 18:19:02 acozine: feel free to put it in https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/131 18:19:30 I don't know if the question needs more detail than that, but I will put both versions into a comment. 18:19:30 maybe "... the license or any other laws" ? 18:19:49 acozine: sounds good, thanks 18:19:55 also something like: Can we release collection artefacts which include not all parts of the repository used to create this artefact, by referencing a GitHub tag as the source version? 18:20:47 sgtm 18:22:22 ok, let's think about the questions and put our thoughts in the topic 18:22:41 no objections if we proceed? 18:23:11 I've put a comment on the ticket. 18:23:41 +1 18:23:42 thanks acozine ! 18:24:13 as i can see there are a lot of topics with no interest from the community, for example https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/131 18:24:51 the question is if we should keep them open forever or close them or (your ideas here) ? 18:25:27 hmm, that's a very good question 18:25:42 right now the number of open issues is growing faster than issues are closed 18:25:42 i'm not talking about this one but in general 18:25:47 yep 18:26:19 I think some of them are really important, such as https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/88, but apparently nobody is interested in that one :( 18:26:19 if there's no desicion / no activity, should we establish a kind of term 18:26:28 (except Brian and me, that is) 18:27:26 should we maybe conduct a triage from time to time? 18:27:44 and close stale topics? 18:28:15 if no interest, what the point to keep them. it can be 6 months or 1 year since the last comment let's say 18:28:41 just thinking out loud 18:29:13 would it be useful to identify 2-3 of such topics, and have a discussion session at contributor summit where many of us are together (virtually) to hash it out? 18:29:15 my feeling is that SC shouldn't vote on every topic created 18:29:16 yeah that one comes up from time to time.. but I guess not often enough to catch anyone else's interest :( 18:29:23 async discussions works fine for some topics but maybe not all. some topics benefit from a real time discussion 18:29:50 nonetheless, despite no interest, I do think it should stay open, because it will come up again 18:30:03 @cybette:ansible.im cyb-clock chimes every 15 minutes during the community meeting 18:30:17 or is awareness the problem? should we share it every few weeks in the bullhorn? 18:30:47 cybette_: it's be a big and growing list:) 18:30:52 it'll 18:30:59 This one looks like we could close it: https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/17 18:31:00 hehe true 18:31:47 :) let's maybe create a process for the triage? 18:32:08 i can think about it and create a PR to update our SC workflows 18:33:06 it can be a quarterly triage (topic) with a list of topics-candidates to get closed 18:33:15 organized triage sounds good - I'm in favor of a quick review at the Contrib Summit since it's coming up 18:33:16 and then we can vote 18:33:36 +1 18:33:36 on a bunch of topics 18:33:37 and also some kind of recurring topic for "cleaning out old topics" 18:33:49 yes yes 18:34:09 that's what i was trying to say 18:34:13 :) 18:36:58 I hope the cleaning topic won't just be another inactive topic :) 18:37:07 hehe 18:37:16 😅 18:37:21 hope 18:37:35 heh, i wasn't suggesting we create an issue for it 18:37:44 just put it on a quarterly reminder of some kind 18:38:14 i'll set up a reminder on my phone 18:38:15 the inactive issue about inactive issues 18:40:07 that's fine as when we will be creating the second issue we can just refer to the first one still open 18:40:21 will be like a chain of triage topics 18:42:32 #action andersson007 to think about Steering Committee WF update related to triage of old topics 18:42:53 I was thinking we could put "issue triage" on the agenda as a recurring topic, so maybe if it's quarterly, we announce for the last two weeks of September that we'll do triage the first week of October, then we start the first October meeting with a list of "here are some issues we could close" and by the end of the month we either close them or update them in some meaningful way 18:44:29 I also think it's fair to just close topics with "closing for lack of interest/activity" 18:44:38 sounds good to me 18:44:39 in fact, sometimes that's the best way to generate interest/activity 18:45:00 @cybette:ansible.im cyb-clock chimes every 15 minutes during the community meeting 18:45:03 folks look at the issue and start saying, "wait, why did we close that? I'm interested . . ." and maybe the conversation starts up again 18:45:21 yep 18:46:49 o/ 18:46:56 #chair resmo 18:46:56 Current chairs: DonNaro[m] acozine andersson007__ briantist cyberpear cybette_ felixfontein resmo 18:48:23 yes, it's important to handle old topics imo as people invested time in bringing them up. sometimes they get irrelevant before solving, so they need to be closed not to distract us from relevant ones 18:48:43 +1 18:49:07 ok, any other things to briefly discuss before open floor? 18:50:46 #topic Open Floor 18:50:47 +1 18:51:45 does anyone wanna dance with Toshio today?:) 18:52:03 dance with Toshio? 18:52:14 dancing badger 18:52:18 yep:) 18:53:03 if nobody, I'll close the meeting in 3 minutes 18:53:39 I'm intrigued about this dancing badger. I did a search but I'm still not entirely sure... 18:54:02 I'll give it a shot even if I make a fool of myself 18:54:13 https://badges.fedoraproject.org/badge/dancing-with-toshio 18:55:54 now I know. and I've been using Fedora for years... there's always something new. 18:56:12 DonNaro[m]: I'll tell you about him in our 1:1 if there's a chance 18:56:17 #endmeeting
