I already worked on devassistant section, so maybe we can start with it? 13:06:54 sure 13:07:03 bkabrda, ok 13:07:16 #topic DevAssistant PRD section 13:08:18 so, if you look at what it says now, it's more like a higher-level overview of what devassistant is and what we should do with that. does anyone has comments/suggestions on it? 13:09:25 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Env_and_Stacks/Product_Requirements_Document#DevAssistant 13:10:20 juhp_: ah, thanks for the link :) 13:10:35 Hey guys, I have to apology for today, I'll need to leave to catch a train in a while. For DevAssistant PRD -- it seems good to me.. we can't be more verbose here I guess.. 13:11:00 bkabrda, overall, I think it is fine 13:11:06 so before I leave, +1 for the DevAssistant ;) 13:11:40 hhorak, have a safe trip 13:12:06 hmm, how many people do we need to actually agree on something? 13:12:34 bkabrda, we have 9 voting members 13:12:36 so I guess 5 13:12:51 tjanez: thanks 13:13:09 Governance is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Env_and_Stacks_Governance 13:13:20 ok, so we can approve the devassistant part, since honza gave us +1 and it's 4 more of us present. but when he leaves, I think we won't be able to do anything 13:13:57 * juhp_ is reading it 13:14:10 bkabrda, actually, we also have "lazy consensus" on the ML 13:14:21 you can vote in smaller group and use "lazy consensus" for final approval 13:14:27 tjanez: :) 13:14:33 yeah, true :) 13:14:48 OK, sorry again, need to leave now. bye! 13:14:53 bye 13:14:55 hhorak, bye 13:15:30 I think it looks good - much better 13:15:34 bkarba, I can help reword some parts of the DevAssistant part 13:15:38 bkabrda, what is RVM? :) 13:15:55 juhp_: ruby version manager, much like virtualenv for python 13:16:04 although it can actually install ruby itself, too 13:16:29 tjanez: what do you think needs rewording? 13:16:38 also, I would maybe put some references/links/acronyms for Yaml DSL, Docker, SCM, RVM 13:16:57 bkabrda, I see 13:17:22 ah right 13:17:39 tjanez: good point. I can put these in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Env_and_Stacks/Product_Requirements_Document#Definitions_and_Acronyms 13:18:48 how does it interact with SCMs btw? I am curious -- sorry I haven't tired DA yet... 13:19:08 ah things like git init? 13:19:31 juhp_: yeah. not much more currently, but it's really a matter of writing simple assistants to support much more 13:19:33 s/tired/tried/ 13:19:37 okay 13:21:10 * juhp_ yum installs... 13:21:16 so I guess we can say that some rewording/abbreviation explanation should be done for the DevAssistant part? 13:22:20 well I think I am happy to vote +1 and any further improvements would be a plus 13:22:33 bkabrda, with rewording I meant minor improvements like: "we should encourage Fedora maintainers (and upstreams) of "developer interesting" components..." -> 13:22:33 "we will encourage Fedora maintainers (and upstreams) of components that are "interesting" to developers" 13:23:33 tjanez: fine by me. perhaps you could edit right now so that we can approve it and then I'll just add the abbreviations after the meeting ends? 13:24:40 bkabrda, I could, but maybe it's better if we discuss the other topic 13:25:29 #proposal: DevAssistant section is overally ok, but tjanez and bkabrda will work on rewording some parts. 13:25:38 bkabrda, +1 13:25:40 +1 13:26:00 +1 from me, obviously :) 13:26:30 samkottler: what's your opinion on the proposal? 13:28:16 we don't have a quorum anyway, but I think I'll just put it in meeting minutes as #action, then we can let more people review the reworded section. sounds fine? 13:28:38 bkabrda, +1 13:29:35 sure - rest can vote on the mailing list I think 13:29:43 #action DevAssistant section is overally ok, but tjanez and bkabrda will work on rewording some parts. 13:30:06 so I think we can move to defining the mission 13:30:34 #topic Define Mission Statement of Env and Stacks WG 13:30:48 I would like to clarify a confusion wrt Vision and Mission statements 13:31:13 tjanez: yeah, these two look too similar right now 13:31:36 mmaslano did a mistake on last IRC meeting when she said #agreed New vision 13:31:48 yeah sorry 13:31:49 what we agreed on was actually the mission statement 13:32:03 and we said we will discuss the vision statement on the ML 13:32:18 ah, ok... so shall I change the topic to Vision statement? 13:32:26 bkabrda, yes 13:32:37 #topic Define Vision Statement of Env and Stacks WG 13:34:48 hmm, so we should say something like people will come to fedora because we'll be providing the best environments/tools/stacks for developers and devops... right? 13:35:18 * tjanez corrected the mistake wrt Mission in the wiki 13:35:59 sgallaghl said the problem with the old vision statement is that it isn't one. 13:36:13 He said: "The purpose of a vision statement is to describe the state that you want to achieve." 13:36:17 bkabrda, I think so 13:36:24 right 13:36:47 he also said the Mission Statement should be changed I think 13:36:58 well suggested 13:37:15 juhp_, yes, and we followed his suggestion 13:37:18 tjanez: yeah. so the state is "we have best options to develop and deploy with various language stacks, so people are comming to us" (forgive the rough wording, I'm just trying to get to the spirit of it) 13:38:29 bkabrda, I agree with the spirit 13:38:54 On the last meeting I proposed: "Fedora is the preferred platform for new software development and its deployment in any language and/or application stack." 13:39:13 Maybe we can work on that 13:39:15 tjanez: that actually sounds pretty good 13:40:28 Maybe even simpler: "Fedora is the preferred platform for software development and deployment in any language or application stack." 13:41:00 I don't really like the "and/or" but otherwise it sounds good 13:41:08 tjanez, yeah 13:41:16 juhp_, yeah, I threw it out :) 13:41:20 yes 13:41:25 tjanez, +1 13:41:37 tjanez: the second one sounds really good. +1 13:41:50 Ok, great. 13:42:03 samkottler: still here? 13:42:19 Since we are not enough, I can have an #action item, and propose this on the ML 13:42:29 good 13:42:47 tjanez: ok, let me just create an AI then... 13:42:51 I think it is important enough that all should vote on it anyway 13:43:22 juhp_, +1 13:43:36 #proposal tjanez to propose vision statement on mailing list for discussion: "Fedora is the preferred platform for software development and deployment in any language or application stack." 13:44:01 tjanez: sounds good? 13:44:13 bkabrda, perfect 13:44:24 #action tjanez to propose vision statement on mailing list for discussion: "Fedora is the preferred platform for software development and deployment in any language or application stack." 13:44:52 so I guess that's it... does anyone have something else? 13:45:06 bkabrda, just one more thing 13:45:28 regarding the juhp_ proposal on the IRC channel 13:45:33 how about the Mission Statement - was that decided? 13:46:12 juhp_, yes, we voted on it at the last meeting 13:46:51 if you have suggestions/improvements, feel free to speak 13:47:26 cool - maybe typo in the minutes then :) 13:47:57 yuhp_, yes, a typo: "#agreed New vision:" should have been "#agreed New mission:" 13:48:15 good - that's fine then 13:48:25 thanks 13:48:30 juhp_, I liked your proposal for a new IRC channel, just didn't had the time to give +1 yet 13:48:52 yeah, me too... will do that right after the meeting 13:49:00 I would encourage others to vote +1, -1 on that 13:49:06 okay sure thanks :) 13:49:20 I can put an AI for everyone to vote on that :) 13:49:31 bkabrda, go for it :) 13:49:40 ok - yes let's get it out of way 13:49:59 bkabrda, thanks 13:50:14 #proposal Vote on Jens's proposal for irc channel on mailing list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/env-and-stacks/2014-January/000157.html 13:50:35 or maybe even better... 13:50:41 bkabrda, +1, make an #action item 13:50:49 #proposal Everyone should vote on Jens's proposal for irc channel on mailing list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/env-and-stacks/2014-January/000157.html 13:51:03 (to explicitly say that it's for everyone :)) 13:51:11 bkabrda, the second one is even better :) 13:51:23 maybe s/everyone/all memebers of WG 13:51:44 bkabrda, *voting* members even 13:51:46 or action even - anyway it's fine 13:52:11 #action All woting members of WG should vote on Jens's proposal for irc channel on mailing list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/env-and-stacks/2014-January/000157.html 13:53:01 ok, something else? 13:53:31 bkabrda, nothing else from me 13:54:35 ok, I'll end the meeting in a minute or so 13:55:28 thanks bkabrda 13:55:41 thank you all 13:55:44 bkabrda, thanks for chairing 13:55:49 #endmeeting
