Some things will just be obvious, others contentious. 15:19:23 2) Have a limited time period to suggest (and defend) options for the terminology to use. 15:19:43 3) Have a formalized vote that everyone understands going in will be definitive. 15:20:41 Those are the broad strokes, at any rate. 15:21:10 sgallagh: what is the best format to provide to all involved the 'document' or place to suggest/defend 15:21:58 I think the easiest answer is to just use the mailing list and archives. We only really need to document the final result and maybe pointers to the threads where the alternatives were discussed. 15:22:21 I don't think we want to go as far as formal proposal documents 15:23:06 does that work for everybody? 15:23:10 Also keeping it on the mailing list helps ensure transparency and inclusion in the discussion 15:23:45 +1 15:23:51 +1 15:24:23 ok, look for something on the mailing list soon 15:24:28 Someone should probably be tasked with following the thread(s) and keeping a side-document of the proposals and a short summary of them, in the interest of later voting. 15:24:34 * contyk can already see those endless threads about this topic 15:24:48 side-document => wiki? 15:24:51 contyk: Precisely why I said "limited time" 15:24:52 contyk: haha 15:24:55 moto-timo: Most likely, yes 15:25:06 sgallagh: I will do that 15:25:20 maryc++ 15:25:30 so, something to #info, #action? 15:25:40 limited time --- especially for those contentious flame war addicts out there 15:27:03 "next Saturday, between 3:00 and 3:05 AM" ;) 15:27:17 nils: What time zone? ;-) 15:27:24 maryc, sgallagh #info? or should nils or i add one? 15:27:31 sgallagh, mars 15:27:53 sgallagh: any time zone that doesn't harbor known flamers? :D 15:28:06 langdon: I am going to plead ignorance here... 15:28:07 nils: Alpha centauri, then 15:28:47 maryc, so.. to make the log of this meeting meaningful we pick out important bits and lead it with #info then zodbot highlights it in the minutes 15:28:56 sgallagh or nils, care to take a stab? 15:29:04 /me isn't chaired 15:29:11 #chair sgallagh 15:29:11 Current chairs: dgilmore jkurik langdon maryc maryx nils sgallagh tflink 15:29:18 #unchair maryx 15:29:18 Current chairs: dgilmore jkurik langdon maryc nils sgallagh tflink 15:29:20 fixed that! :) 15:29:31 OK, one moment while I phrase it. 15:29:35 even fixed my bumble from before :) 15:31:40 #info We will have a three-phase approach to dealing with user-visible terminology. 15:31:40 #info Phase 1: Generate a list of concepts that need consistent names. 15:31:40 #info Phase 2: State a limited (less than two weeks) period to propose, justify and discuss those names on the fedora-devel mailing list 15:31:40 #info Phase 3: Hold a binding vote to select the terminology that will be used. 15:32:02 maryc: Do you want to take a #action to kick this off? 15:32:07 sgallagh, who can vote? 15:32:22 langdon: +1 good question 15:32:23 langdon: I was assuming Modularity WG seats 15:32:29 hrm 15:32:33 But yeah, I shouldn't assume 15:32:38 maryc, #action is what it sounds like.. again in the meeting minutes it will be captured as "mary agreed to do this" 15:33:03 Anyone can propose an option, but it should really be a small group empowered to make the final decision 15:33:06 re: voting) im kinda inclined to say anyone who has a fas account can vote.. why not? 15:33:31 maryc: yeah, a line starting with "#action maryc ..." will record this as an action item for you 15:33:33 langdon: There are Politics involved there. 15:33:45 sad 15:33:49 #action maryc will lead the phases by kicking off the discussion in the fedora devel mailing list and documenting responses on the wiki 15:33:58 ok.. lets say modularity wg .. with lazy consensus 15:34:10 maryc: 👍 15:34:26 I think that's totally reasonable. The modularity WG is ultimately the ones implementing it 15:34:47 And I doubt anyone here would vote wildly against a general consensus if one arose anyway 15:34:52 maryc, when you get to the "voting step" i can help you word it ... 15:35:03 langdon: sounds good 15:35:06 or feel offended if their preferred was not chosen 15:35:56 moto-timo++ 15:36:30 ok, are we good here? 15:36:42 i think so 15:36:50 #topic Badges 15:37:12 ok.. i guess i get this one 15:37:18 yup :) 15:37:24 langdon: you did take the vote :) 15:37:32 who can vote? 15:37:39 i only got two votes.. but.. i didn't give people much time.. so i will ask for more votes here.. but then lets call it a day.. 15:37:44 voting WG members 15:37:59 but feel free to offer an opinion moto-timo 15:38:28 FWIW, I like both of the last two... but the last one the green stroke is a bit too contrasty on the right side (the orange? lego) 15:39:33 ok.. so i have a vote for https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/ticket/466#comment:25 and a vote for .. 15:40:06 https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/ticket/466/ticket%20%23466_attempt%207.png 15:40:15 any other voters here? 15:40:36 i am inclined to vote for https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/attachment/ticket/466/ticket%20%23466_attempt%207.png as well.. 15:40:38 #link https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/ticket/466 ticket with candidates 15:40:44 nils, thanks 15:41:00 +1 attempt 7 15:41:58 dgilmore, haraldh, sct opinions on badge design? 15:43:20 ok.. i say we move to the rest of the agenda and in the last 5 mins come back to this to see if we get any more votes 15:43:29 ok 15:43:45 #info voting at the end of the meeting 15:44:01 #topic Base Runtime 15:44:06 ok, this is me 15:44:06 contyk: ? 15:44:10 #chair contyk 15:44:10 Current chairs: contyk dgilmore jkurik langdon maryc nils sgallagh tflink 15:44:13 right 15:44:33 so I just wanted to say we kicked off the first sprint last week 15:44:52 we're going to work in short, one week sprints for now 15:45:08 the public kanban board is still fairly empty 15:45:11 No rest for the wicked 15:45:22 #link https://taiga.fedorainfracloud.org/project/base-runtime/kanban base runtime kanban board 15:45:33 (is it how you do it?) 15:45:43 yes 15:45:57 I also created an empty landing wiki page just before the meeting 15:46:14 * contyk looks for the link 15:46:26 contyk: perfect 15:47:05 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BaseRuntime base runtime wiki page 15:47:34 basically this is a sister project of modularity, focusing on the low level modular content -- the application runtime environment and hardware enablement layer 15:47:50 so far it's been sgallagh and I working on it 15:48:18 we're still figuring out what we're trying to achieve, so don't expect too much too soon 15:48:50 the first deliverable will be a self hosted module that we could as a starting point for further development 15:49:08 the goal is to bootstrap the modularity stg infrastructure with whatever we come up with 15:49:49 that should happen, hopefully, by next week 15:49:54 sgallagh: anything to add? 15:50:31 Not really.
