I will seek to continue the relationship with sflc +18:22 <@quantumsummers> the bulk of this work should be done by a cpa +18:22 <@NeddySeagoon> Yes - we cannot afford to pay for legal all the time. +18:22 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, what about the volunteers we had ? +18:22 <+antarus> How much do you expect to spend on 501c3? +18:23 <@dabbott> It would be nice to find a cpa that is also a gentoo user that we can get a sliding scale / discount +18:24 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, is it worth approaching your CPA for a quote for the work ? +18:24 <@quantumsummers> antarus: total cost is conservatively $5k for this with some variation on location +18:25 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, for 5k I feel I would like to get it done and over with ... we are already overdue +18:25 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I think we need a professional service, with contracts that say you will do these things by these dates. +18:26 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, we will never get that pro-bono +18:26 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I fully concur +18:26 <@quantumsummers> sflc is great, but we need more support than they can offer +18:26 <@dabbott> quantumsummers: can we get 3 bids to do the work ? +18:27 <@quantumsummers> its likely that we could get numerous bids, yes +18:27 <@dabbott> is that something you could put together +18:27 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, then lets take some of the work away from them and fund a CPA to do it with an agreed deadline +18:27 <@NeddySeagoon> ie. a contract +18:27 <@robbat2> aye from me too +18:28 <@quantumsummers> antarus: we should have some introduction to some west coast talent? +18:28 <+antarus> quantumsummers: not following you +18:28 <+antarus> you want me to recommend a cpa? +18:28 <@NeddySeagoon> Is west coast talent special ? +18:28 <@quantumsummers> robbat2 anyone come to mind? +18:29 <@NeddySeagoon> antarus, sure +18:29 <@quantumsummers> antarus: do you know anyone familiar with gentoo? +18:29 <@dabbott> antarus: yes please +18:29 <@robbat2> quantumsummers, i'm up in Canada, no suitable suggestions +18:29 <+antarus> the only CPA I know is in texas +18:29 <+antarus> and I wouldn't recommend him ;p +18:29 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: who does osuosl work with? +18:29 <@NeddySeagoon> hehe +18:29 <@quantumsummers> :) +18:29 <+antarus> I imagine the osuosl has university lawyers and cpas +18:30 <+antarus> That is how this org I know at Michigan State U. worked +18:31 <@NeddySeagoon> Let me sum up so far ... +18:32 <@NeddySeagoon> We will take some of our work away from SFLC and contract with one or more CPAs to complete these work items for an agreed fixed price and an agreed date +18:32 <@NeddySeagoon> We could even use it as a way to audition CPAs +18:33 <@quantumsummers> perhaps we should publish a formal request for quote +18:33 <@NeddySeagoon> I would like to suggest that SFLC be given the opportunity to bid for the work too +18:34 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, yes - every CPA needs to get the same form of words. If we put all the work items in one document, we need to make it clear we may 'cherry pick' from responses +18:34 <@dabbott> quantumsummers: what is the first thing you would like see completed +18:34 <+antarus> is there a list of work documented somewhere? +18:36 <@NeddySeagoon> antarus, we know what we have fed into SFLC +18:36 <@quantumsummers> initial discovery, financial discovery, form assembly and narrative writing (we have a lot of writing already), full internal documentation and budget. +18:37 <@quantumsummers> then, 1023 document submission +18:37 <@quantumsummers> then we wait 2-6 months +18:37 <@NeddySeagoon> That sounds like it can't be broken up +18:38 <@quantumsummers> we then either: receive temp letter OR receive rejection. if rejected we can appeal in court +18:38 <@quantumsummers> if we are granted temp status we will have to provide whatever they want within 30 day so request +18:38 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, isn't SFLC handling an appeal just now ? +18:38 <@quantumsummers> at that point its cool breeze +18:38 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: yes, that is correct +18:39 <@NeddySeagoon> that may want a lot of their resource +18:39 <@quantumsummers> I think we will want at least an 18 month contract with the firm that wins the bid +18:40 <@NeddySeagoon> Lets take the 501c3 away from SFLC +18:41 <@dabbott> Put it out for bids so we can find someone more accountable +18:41 <@NeddySeagoon> My problem with a term contract is we don't know what we want during the term ... there is a base load, which we can predict, and all the pop ups. Or will the pop ups go away soon? +18:42 <@robbat2> for a CPA, how much pop up is there actually? +18:42 <@robbat2> legal has pop-up work yes, but not CPA stuff from what I can see +18:43 <@quantumsummers> hard to predict pop ups +18:43 <@robbat2> there's the 501c3, our tax return presumably, and quarterly financial reports (which we're nearly a year behind on) +18:43 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, maybe not a lot ... but I don't understand the split as it all goes to SFLC at the moment +18:44 <+antarus> is there a difference in pop-up work for a 501c3 vs what we have now? +18:44 <+antarus> I assume we have some idea of our previous pop-up load +18:44 <@robbat2> i can't think of any CPA-specific pop-up load previously +18:44 <@quantumsummers> yes, it was mostly licensing or legal policy documents that popped up +18:45 <@NeddySeagoon> Lets let it ride until we have a new Treasurer in place ... I'm aware that quantumsummers is holding two offices and its too much. Hopefully we can appoint a new Treasuer in April +18:46 <@NeddySeagoon> otherwise quantumsummers will be the point of contact and it will be harder to get the new guy to take over the work +18:46 <@dabbott> I agree quantumsummers needs to be able to devote his time to this issue and not be spread out +18:47 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, ? +18:48 <@quantumsummers> I appreciate this, and will put together the necessary bits to get this settled finally. +18:48 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, you need a Treasuer exit plan too. Thats easier when you are not in the middle of something +18:49 <@NeddySeagoon> Summary ... +18:49 <@NeddySeagoon> Donation to SFLC +18:50 <@NeddySeagoon> Funding a CPA to complete our 501c3 application and routine CPA work for some period afterward +18:50 <@NeddySeagoon> Is that where we have got to ? +18:50 <@quantumsummers> yes +18:51 <@quantumsummers> where funding this endeavor requires a rfq to be written +18:52 <@quantumsummers> proposal to be presented at the april meeting +18:52 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I appreciate you can take this forward yourself but you might find you become Treasurer and we get a new Secretary because its easier to get out of that role. Think about how involved you get short term +18:53 <@quantumsummers> we need a committee for this +18:53 <@quantumsummers> or better, a team +18:53 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, agreed - there is no harm in doing the proposal ... just don't get bolted into the role unless you want to keep it +18:54 <@NeddySeagoon> until the 501c3 is done and dusted anyway +18:54 <@robbat2> i thought that was what the financials/treasurer request for help was supposed to be previously, has any success come from that? +18:55 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, we have 5 responses but we have been slow following up +18:56 <@NeddySeagoon> Any more on SFLC ? +18:57 <@quantumsummers> not at this time +18:58 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, We should stop SFLC working on our 501c3 application ... it will be wasted work ... of course, we can pay them to complete it +18:59 <@quantumsummers> I do not think they are working on it presently to be plain +18:59 <@NeddySeagoon> Unless there are any Urgent bugs can we skip Agenda Item 4 Bugs. We are an hour in already +18:59 <@dabbott> fine by me +18:59 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I agree - but its only polite to stop them wasting resource +19:00 <@quantumsummers> ok.

Based on the general costs of CPA assistance coming all within the same range, I propose we engage KPM for our CPA <- Motion. Can I get a second? +18:24 <@NeddySeagoon> Seconded +18:24 <@quantumsummers_> Please call the vote Mr. NeddySeagoon +18:24 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, is that the CPA you normaly work with ? +18:24 <@NeddySeagoon> Vote for KPM for our CPA +18:24 <@quantumsummers_> for reference I use this CPA for both my personal and all business activities ( 3 business) +18:24 <@NeddySeagoon> Aye +18:24 <@quantumsummers_> aye +18:24 <@rich0> aye +18:25 <@dabbott> yes +18:25 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion carried +18:25 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, what contract term ? +18:25 <@quantumsummers_> its a project rate essentially +18:25 <@quantumsummers_> which works in our favor I belive +18:26 <@NeddySeagoon> ok. Not a fixed time period +18:26 <@dabbott> quantumsummers, this is them correct http://www.kpmcpa.com/ +18:26 <@quantumsummers_> pay per filing, not a fixed time +18:26 <@quantumsummers_> dabbott yes +18:26 <@quantumsummers_> I have been working with them for 5 year now +18:26 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, do they want a link on the foundation page ? +18:26 <@quantumsummers_> their rates were comparable or lower than others +18:26 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: they did not request anything like that +18:27 <@NeddySeagoon> Should we offer ? In the spirit of openness we should post who we employ +18:27 <@robbat2> back +18:27 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: I can see if they are interested, sure. +18:28 <@NeddySeagoon> Please continue +18:28 <@quantumsummers_> in any event, I doubt they will mind if we post we are contracting with them +18:28 <@robbat2> aye for KPM as CPA from me +18:29 <@quantumsummers_> 2. I propose we file as a corporation in the state of Missouri. Reasons as follows; I can more easily manage finances with a local bank account. It will let us use my office and PO Box (free of charge) as legal "headquarters", and since there is no one in NM we could at some point wind that down. <- Motion. +18:30 <@quantumsummers_> this should make things somewhat easier, and we can get mail +18:30 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, is this as well as or instead of NM +18:30 <@rich0> clarify - we will incorporate in both? +18:30 <@quantumsummers_> the NM entity will remain in existence until it is obsolete +18:31 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, do you propose to continue as treasurer ? +18:31 <@quantumsummers_> rich0: we are incorporated in NM, the motion is to file for incorporation in MO additionally +18:31 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: I think that is a good idea at this point +18:31 <@quantumsummers_> perhaps I should transition from Secretary +18:31 <@robbat2> what tax implications does it have? +18:31 <@rich0> fine as long as it doesnt add a great paperwork burden +18:31 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I'm worred about both the workload and the 'bus factor' ... +18:31 <@quantumsummers_> simple filing for MO +18:32 <@quantumsummers_> robbat2: ^ both to incorporate and file taxes +18:32 <@rich0> nm doent seem bad - most of the issue is federal +18:32 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers_, does this mean we have to do annual filings in both states ? +18:32 <@quantumsummers_> that is correct, however it will make it easier to have an official location where a trustee lives +18:33 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: yes, but its a single page deal, very simple +18:33 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, ok. +18:33 <@rich0> seems to me that if we get the irs under control the states just follow, but nokt familiar with mi +18:33 <@quantumsummers_> main reason is banking, impo +18:33 <@quantumsummers_> Missouri is a favorable state to non-profit corporations +18:33 <@NeddySeagoon> Seconded than we incorporate in Mo as well as NM +18:34 <@rich0> ok, aye from me +18:34 <@quantumsummers_> its like filing to do official business in the state +18:34 <@robbat2> aye from me +18:34 <@quantumsummers_> which has beneficial side effect of making banking much easier. +18:34 <@dabbott> aye from me also +18:34 <@quantumsummers_> aye +18:34 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I would really like to see you divest yourself of one of yur officer roles to make the Foundation more robust +18:34 <@NeddySeagoon> aye +18:34 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: I would like that too +18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion carried +18:35 <@quantumsummers_> thanks +18:35 <@quantumsummers_> #3 +18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, lets repost the ad you responded to +18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> see if we can't get an 'outdider' +18:35 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: ok. +18:35 <@NeddySeagoon> outsider +18:36 <@quantumsummers_> I think the secretary role should go to someone in the US, since its a signatory role +18:36 <@quantumsummers_> rather important +18:36 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, agreed +18:36 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, you have some more +18:36 <@quantumsummers_> though we should solicit for an assistant secretary +18:37 <@quantumsummers_> maybe dabbott or rich0 want the Secretary job? +18:37 <@NeddySeagoon> sure.

I do not have one in mind at this time (although I work with a few locally that have that specialty in house). +18:40 <@quantumsummers_> a few firms I mean +18:40 <@NeddySeagoon> Is that likely ? +18:40 <@quantumsummers_> so, there is potential that would reduce our back taxes burden, in the case that the IRS "sticks it to us" so to speak +18:41 <@NeddySeagoon> How does "attorney" translate into English ... solicitor or barrister ? +18:41 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: I do not know for certain. I think its possible, but we will not know until we start filing things +18:42 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: hmm, well that is a good question. An attorney is here is licensed and a member of the Bar association. +18:42 <@quantumsummers_> which is to say that they are able to legally practice +18:42 <@NeddySeagoon> A solicitor employs a barrister (at geat cost) for special things. +18:43 <@quantumsummers_> barrister goes to court, right? +18:43 <@NeddySeagoon> both go to court +18:43 <@quantumsummers_> we do not have that distinction in the US +18:43 <@quantumsummers_> that I am aware of anyway +18:43 <@rich0> yup, we just have expensive and cheap lawyers, relatively +18:43 <@quantumsummers_> I do not believe the cost would be great. +18:44 <@NeddySeagoon> ok - I think I get the picture, In for a penny, in for a pound. It sounds like it is a spend to save thing. +18:44 <@NeddySeagoon> We need to do what we need to do to get our 501c3 +18:44 <@quantumsummers_> main thing is we may need an advocate in the case that we need to make a case +18:44 <@quantumsummers_> this relates to back taxes only +18:45 <@rich0> probably best to only engage if cpa recommends +18:45 <@quantumsummers_> not the 501c3 +18:45 <@quantumsummers_> rich0: exactly +18:45 <@quantumsummers_> I just wanted everyone to be aware of the possibility +18:45 <@NeddySeagoon> Have we made enough to be liable for tax - even if we were a for profit ? +18:45 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: yes. +18:46 <@NeddySeagoon> ok, I'm with rich0 ... +18:46 <@quantumsummers_> the trouble is that the old trustees/officers did not file taxes that we are aware of +18:46 <@quantumsummers_> so, there is a penalty for late filing +18:46 <@robbat2> i have no objections to any findings re needing an attorney for back taxes, per any CPA recommendations +18:46 <@NeddySeagoon> The IRS would know but I would hate to ask +18:46 <@quantumsummers_> I will appraise the board of any necessities regarding legal assistance in this case well ahead of time +18:47 <@NeddySeagoon> do we need a motion ? Since we are emplying a CPA, we would be daft not to follow their advice +18:47 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: you can call the IRS and ask them things, just make sure you remain anonymous +18:47 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: not at this time +18:47 <@quantumsummers_> no motion required yet +18:47 <@NeddySeagoon> ok +18:47 <@rich0> might even ask cpa for recommended lawyerr. i am for. +18:48 <@NeddySeagoon> any more quantumsummers ? +18:48 <@quantumsummers_> rich0: yes, they have a few in house too +18:48 <@quantumsummers_> so, here is the whole enchilada re: back taxes +18:48 <@quantumsummers_> the IRS has a penalty (per day) for late filings with a max of $10,000 per year. +18:48 <@quantumsummers_> I think its $25 per say +18:48 <@quantumsummers_> *day +18:48 <@quantumsummers_> HOWEVER +18:49 <@quantumsummers_> I have been advised that we can make the case that we should not have to pay all that +18:49 <@quantumsummers_> since its a relatively new board, and we are trying to get things straightened out, AND the IRS has not come looking for us as of now. +18:49 <@quantumsummers_> the last bit is key' +18:50 <@quantumsummers_> which is why I was upset by what wltjr was threatening (as it would mean my ass) +18:50 <@NeddySeagoon> understood +18:50 <@quantumsummers_> sooo, the real emphasis is that we need to get the ducks in a row as quickly as possible +18:50 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, what help do you need ? +18:51 <@quantumsummers_> based on what was decided today, I can get this rolling on Monday, first thing +18:51 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: I have everything the CPA has requested. (I have been working with them on this for awhile now, they were not charging us as it was preliminary) +18:51 <@NeddySeagoon> Can you email the alias with a timescale, when you have one +18:51 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: yes sir +18:51 <@rich0> sounds good to me. fyi will be akf for 10 mins +18:52 <@quantumsummers_> I am thinking for the back filings 3-5 weeks +18:52 <@quantumsummers_> for the 501c3, 4-6 weels +18:52 <@quantumsummers_> in parallel +18:52 <@NeddySeagoon> that sounds pretty good +18:52 <@dabbott> sooner the better +18:52 <@quantumsummers_> no joke +18:52 <@NeddySeagoon> agreed +18:52 <@NeddySeagoon> any more ? +18:53 <@quantumsummers_> Total estimated cost for all the above is conservatively $8000 +18:53 <@quantumsummers_> that includes all filing fees with the states, 501c3 filing fee, CPA fee. It does not include any penalty we may have with the IRS +18:53 <@NeddySeagoon> Thats a one time thing ... what about maintainence going forward ? +18:54 <@NeddySeagoon> You can't estimate the IRS penalty +18:54 <@quantumsummers_> maintenance going forward will be minimal, once I have everything setup. The general filing cost per year for federal and state taxes is ~$1000 +18:54 <@quantumsummers_> to have the CPA do it +18:54 <@quantumsummers_> maybe a little less if I can get things automated enough +18:54 <@NeddySeagoon> Go ahead - you have the motion of support +18:54 <@quantumsummers_> working on that for the companies anyway +18:54 <@quantumsummers_> the automation I mean +18:55 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: ok. +18:55 <@quantumsummers_> I have one last thing +18:56 <@quantumsummers_> I would like to have the by laws gone through by an attorney in collaboration with the CPA +18:56 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion ? +18:56 <@quantumsummers_> not yet +18:56 <@quantumsummers_> I will have the CPA tell me what we need, if anything +18:56 <@quantumsummers_> she will know if we need to have some additional language in there +18:56 <@NeddySeagoon> Seems line a good idea. +18:56 <@dabbott> quantumsummers, noted +18:57 <@quantumsummers_> if we need additional language I would prefer to have an attorney do it +18:57 <@NeddySeagoon> sure +18:57 <@quantumsummers_> ok, let see...

We agreed we would have a EGM in August to shift the reporting year +19:00 <@quantumsummers_> dabbott yes thanks, I am bad at that, but will try to make reasonable requests +19:00 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: ok, I will make a report this week then. I will include last fiscal year too, since the CPA will be working on that starting asap +19:01 <@NeddySeagoon> the bylaws only let us slip a month per year +19:01 <@quantumsummers_> yes.

Its not like the G logo +19:14 <@quantumsummers_> I do not feel the necessity +19:14 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, I'll put that on my reading list +19:14 <@rich0> I tend to agree - the copyright and derived nature of the mark makes it weak anyway. +19:14 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I don't either +19:14 <@quantumsummers_> I can talk to my main attorney about it, informally +19:15 <@rich0> reason I mentioned debian is that their general logo can be used for anybody under certain circumstances - kind of like mozilla's +19:15 <@quantumsummers_> I am going thru it now with some work stiff +19:15 <@quantumsummers_> *stuff +19:15 <@quantumsummers_> rich0: I like that, must read up +19:15 <@rich0> If I burn CDs from the debian official ISOs I can charge $1k and use the community logo, for example +19:15 <@dabbott> I like the idea of one official logo and the more relaxed community logos +19:15 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, Me too but that does not mean we need to trademake it +19:16 <@rich0> Only debian projects can use the official logos - which are similar but different +19:16 <@dabbott> can we sell Larry the cow logo t-shirts in the store? +19:16 <@NeddySeagoon> Larray and G and quite different but both associated with Gentoo +19:16 <@quantumsummers_> dabbott sure we can +19:17 <@dabbott> or would that need to be put in a community store +19:17 <@rich0> Still, until we change policy I'm all for following the status quo with DiscoLibre. +19:17 <@quantumsummers_> this reminds me of something, the gentoo-ev site says Gentoo (R) is a registered trademark of Gentoo eV +19:17 <@rich0> And either way I'm not sure Larry is a good mark - we don't even own copyright on it. No harm in using it legally, but not a good way to build an IP base. +19:18 <+a3li> quantumsummers_: what's wrong with that? +19:18 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, Policy is that if its like GPL, a nominal cost, its fine, we give them a link. If they make money, we want a cut +19:18 <@quantumsummers_> a3li: Gentoo is registered to the Foundation +19:18 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers_, thats correct. the e.V own the mark in Europe +19:18 <@rich0> NeddySeagoon: yup - no issue with that and any change should be carefully considered +19:18 <+a3li> quantumsummers_: we *do* have a trademark in europe +19:18 <@quantumsummers_> ok then :D +19:19 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, and its registration there predates the Foundation :) +19:19 <@rich0> though GPL doesn't prohibit making money off of the binaries - it is only the source that has to be nominal cost and only to those you've already sold binaries to +19:19 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, true - I was likening it to the GPL. +19:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Any more on Lary the Cow +19:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Item 6 Memership Applications +19:20 <@dabbott> Yes all three +19:20 <@NeddySeagoon> All gentoo devs - Montion at accept +19:21 <@quantumsummers_> aye to all devs +19:21 <@NeddySeagoon> aye +19:21 <@rich0> aye +19:21 <@robbat2> aye +19:21 <@NeddySeagoon> Carried +19:21 <@NeddySeagoon> Item 7 Advertising Requests +19:21 <@NeddySeagoon> StartCom +19:21 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, this is in exchange for Certs ? +19:22 <@robbat2> startcom bit is on hold atm, so a timeline for a sec +19:22 <@robbat2> StartCom approached us offering certs at greatly discounted (just basically the initial validation cost) +19:23 <@robbat2> the trustees approved that, and at approximately the same time we got an offer from Comodo +19:24 <@robbat2> that was late April +19:25 <@robbat2> i haven't actually spent any more w/ StartCom yet, as I had to get various paperwork in order (their validation is of me directly [passport etc], and then the foundation's corporation stuff) +19:25 < sping> i missed speaking up on larry the cow - can we do a second round on that? i don't feel it has got the needed attention yet as to what i see in the log above +19:25 <@robbat2> in Comodo's favour, they actually use Gentoo +19:26 <@robbat2> sping, wait for open floor +19:26 < sping> robbat2: sure +19:26 <@robbat2> StartCom uses linux, but hasn't said anything about Gentoo in specific +19:27 <@NeddySeagoon> why would we choose one rather than the other ? +19:28 <@robbat2> i need to follow up w/ Comodo to see if they would offer us similar stuff to what StartCom would (basically unlimited certs), as their initial email wasn't conclusion +19:28 <@rich0> I think Comodo's offer was better (free I think - but not certain on the details / comparison). My biggest concern was that we said yes to StartCom already. I don't like saying yes and then saying "wait, we got a better offer." +19:29 <@robbat2> mainly my concern is that startcom asked for what I consider to be a LOT of my personal information after I got started w/ them +19:29 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, I'm with you there +19:29 <@quantumsummers_> robbat2: that would bother me too +19:29 <@rich0> robbat2: if the concern is over the details (personal info, etc), then I see that as grounds for reconsideration. +19:29 <@quantumsummers_> there is no reason for it since we are incorporated +19:30 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, Why - Its gentoo they are certifying. Not an individual +19:30 <@rich0> we should in any case make sure that Comodo isn't just going to be the same way before canceling work-in-progress +19:30 <@quantumsummers_> exactly the point, they should not tie it to a person, but the organization +19:30 <@quantumsummers_> robbat2: are the EV certs? +19:30 <@robbat2> StartCom's model is that people can be really verified, while organizations are less certain (eg who really is behind an org) +19:31 <@rich0> I can see how they need to verify that the person is legally able to represent the organization. +19:31 <@robbat2> in theory, EV in both offers +19:31 <@quantumsummers_> that is good I guess +19:31 <@rich0> I can call up and say "gimme a hotmail.com cert - MS is a corporation and here is a copy of their public paperwork" +19:31 <@robbat2> they phone the # on the WHOIS records too ;-) +19:31 <@robbat2> which points to me presently +19:32 <@quantumsummers_> ah, as technical contact, yes +19:32 <@rich0> If the personal detail aspect is the same in both cases, then I don't see how we can ethically back out on StartCom unless there is a material change in the agreement. +19:32 <@quantumsummers_> I agree with rich0 here, although I do like the fact that comodo uses gentoo. +19:33 <@NeddySeagoon> I am fairly protective of my personal data. +19:33 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, how does it compatre to what CAcert wanted ? +19:33 <@rich0> agreed on liking that aspect of Comodo, and perhaps we should explain the situation to them and see if they're still interested come time of renewal. +19:34 <@NeddySeagoon> compare* +19:34 <@robbat2> CACert has seen my id in person during their verification process (many years ago), but explicitly does not keep it or want it to be sent to them +19:34 <@NeddySeagoon> That sounds fair +19:34 <@NeddySeagoon> Then they can't lose it like Sony :) +19:35 <@robbat2> re losing it, my id data for StartCom would be in Israel, and I don't know what control I do have if they lose it +19:36 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, its your personal info. If you think its overly intrusive. You have my support to drop negiotiations +19:36 <@robbat2> Comodo is US-based, New Jersey, so I have more control of my info there +19:36 <@robbat2> ok, so re handling this: +19:36 <@quantumsummers_> robbat2: no control at all, but I have several contacts in the gov't there if things get rough +19:37 <@quantumsummers_> proceed, sorry to interrupt +19:37 <@robbat2> i'll contact Comodo, and see if they can reasonably offer us what StartCom was, without my needing so much of my personal info +19:37 <@robbat2> s/without my/without/ +19:38 <@robbat2> the $50/bi-annual fee that StartCom wanted wasn't a problem, so if they Comodo wants that, that's fine by me +19:38 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, you are clearly not happy with Startcom and their demands - just drop them. +19:39 <@rich0> I'm fine with switching as long as the reason is the personal info and there is a difference. That wasn't known at the time of the agreement, so I see it as a valid reason to go back if necessary. +19:40 <@rich0> If in the end we do go with Comodo we should still thank StartCom for their offer. They made it sincerely. +19:40 <@robbat2> yes +19:40 <@NeddySeagoon> I'm fine with sticking with CAcert if the personal info demands are unreasonable, as judged by robbat2 +19:40 <@rich0> I'm fine with that as well. +19:41 <@robbat2> we do need to move beyond CACert for forums/bugs long term, to make them more accessible to users +19:41 <@robbat2> for the smaller sites, CACert is fine +19:41 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, its your call. +19:41 <@robbat2> i'll discuss w/ Comodo and make a more informed decision +19:41 <@robbat2> and inform the board of matters +19:42 <@NeddySeagoon> We will hold over StartCom until next month +19:42 <@quantumsummers_> thanks robbat2 +19:42 <@NeddySeagoon> Date of Next Meeting - 19th Jun 2011 19:00 UTC +19:42 <@quantumsummers_> +1 +19:42 <@NeddySeagoon> I should be ok +19:42 <@dabbott> +1 +19:42 <@robbat2> +1 on my calendar +19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, +19:43 <@rich0> +1 - and I should still be free :) +19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> :) +19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> Any other business ... ? +19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, ? +19:44 <@quantumsummers_> none from me (this time ;) ) +19:44 <@NeddySeagoon> heh +19:44 <@robbat2> none from me, but sping is here for some +19:44 <@NeddySeagoon> I have one item +19:44 <@quantumsummers_> yes/ +19:44 < sping> NeddySeagoon: you first +19:45 <@NeddySeagoon> we are about to be asked for DVDs for http://softwarelivre.org/fisl12 and a banner if there is one in South Ameraca +19:45 <@NeddySeagoon> rafaelmartins will be leading +19:46 <@dabbott> cool +19:46 <@NeddySeagoon> that was my item +19:46 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, AoB ? +19:46 <@dabbott> no cool that he is doing it :0 +19:46 <@quantumsummers_> fwiw, fedex-kinkos has nice outdorr vinyl 3'x5x banner for $60 (half price) right now. I made one for my wife's company last week, turned out well. +19:47 < sping> on larry: may I? +19:47 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, Gentoo owns 5. International shipping is a PITA +19:47 <@quantumsummers_> ok. +19:47 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, AoB ? +19:47 <@rich0> nothing new for me +19:48 <@NeddySeagoon> sping, 2 minuets +19:48 < sping> NeddySeagoon: what does that mean? +19:48 <@robbat2> 5 banners? i know of 2 of them? where are the other 3? +19:48 <@NeddySeagoon> Responsibilities. I'll post log, wite to new members and mattst88 +19:48 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: thank you. +19:48 <@dabbott> I have the motions +19:48 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, I think there are two in Europe +19:49 <@NeddySeagoon> Open Floor +19:49 <@NeddySeagoon> sping, - your turn +19:49 < sping> i currently understand the EULA of font haed inc on larry's head as a license, not trademark +19:50 < sping> that may mean that we cannot derive artwork from it under creative commons +19:50 < sping> which would be bad for the gentoo pool of artwork +19:50 <@NeddySeagoon> sping, do you have a link to the EULA ? +19:50 < sping> http://www.fonthead.com/license +19:51 < sping> most important point is the one on "primary aspect of a product for resale" probably +19:51 <@quantumsummers_> I think what we may have to do is make our own larry head OR ask them for rights to use that "letter" representation freely. +19:51 < sping> if you have a mug with larries head and "gentoo" below it you may argue about primary aspects +19:52 < sping> we can only get a trademark (or free licensing) in co-op with font head inc, of course +19:52 <@rich0> So, here is my thought - we either are allowed by FontHead or not to use the logo in various ways. Anything we do with trademarks can only take away the rights of others - it cannot do anything to grant rights we don't already have. +19:52 <@NeddySeagoon> sping, we will need to talk with them +19:53 < sping> NeddySeagoon: yes, but we need to know what to ask for before that +19:53 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, correct - we cannot trademark it +19:53 <@NeddySeagoon> sping, do you have any detailed thoughts ? +19:54 <@dabbott> does it make any difference that drobbins was using it before 2009? +19:54 < sping> dabbott: it may if we had a copy of the EULA version from back then. he doesn't have a copy around as to what he said +19:55 <@quantumsummers_> wayback machine have a copy? +19:55 < sping> the current EULA is newer than the font by several years +19:56 < sping> no, see http://web.archive.org/*/http://www.fonthead.com/license +19:56 <@robbat2> http://replay.web.archive.org/20090105180827/http://www.fonthead.com/fonts/Font-Heads +19:56 <@robbat2> that's the earliest I find on archive.org +19:57 <@rich0> Looking at the oldest copy from Feb 2009 on archive.org I don't see it as being any better from a use standpoint. That primary purpose bit could get us. +19:57 <@quantumsummers_> perhaps contact should be made. It may be necessary to purchase the rights or something +19:57 <@rich0> Unless somebody has an even older copy we need to work with them regarding licensing. +19:57 <@quantumsummers_> maybe we can request the old versions? +19:58 <@quantumsummers_> surely they have it. or maybe there is an old tarball lying around with it +19:58 <@robbat2> http://replay.web.archive.org/20070127025807/http://fonthead.com/freeware.php +19:58 <@robbat2> "The typefaces on this page are ones that we want you to use and enjoy free of charge. Use them in your personal and commercial projects, websites, logos or whatever else you are designing.

We could in theory just claim copyright on larry then, and license however we wish, since we're not redistributing the font itself +20:02 < sping> i'm thinking, wait +20:02 <@quantumsummers_> rich0: I agree +20:02 <@rich0> It is a derivative work, clearly, but one which they allowed +20:02 <@robbat2> http://replay.web.archive.org/20050424012841/http://www.fonthead.com/freeware.php <--- earliest appearence of the font heads font +20:02 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, I think thats splitting hairs - we can't claim copyright on someone elses artwork +20:02 <@rich0> I'd recommend circulating any initial contact letter with the trustees before sending. +20:03 < sping> robbat2: does the TTF windows zip download at that page work for you? +20:03 < sping> robbat2: the zip seems to be odd, not sure yet +20:03 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: since its incorporated into a larger work, I think we can. +20:03 <@rich0> Sure we can - larry as a whole is clearly an original creation. Something that is a derivative work is still copyrightable, you just need a license from whoever you derived it from. +20:03 <@robbat2> sping, the link from the 20050424 page does work yes +20:03 <@quantumsummers_> which, based on the original license we have +20:04 <@rich0> You copyright A, I can copyright ABC. I still need your permission to distribute it, but you can't distribute ABC without my permission either. +20:04 <@NeddySeagoon> sping it downloads +20:04 <@dabbott> 2007 download works also +20:04 < sping> robbat2: maybe it's just xarchiver troubling, let me see +20:04 <@robbat2> http://replay.web.archive.org/20050424012841/http://www.fonthead.com/freeware_download.php/fontheads-wtt.zip +20:05 <@robbat2> ok, there is a problem +20:05 <@robbat2> in that zipfile there is a more restrictive license than the page +20:05 <@NeddySeagoon> The licence is the zip file is quite different to the web page +20:06 < sping> yes, the primary aspect thing is in the 2005 zip file license already +20:06 <@robbat2> sorry to get hopes up w/ the 2007/2005 pages +20:06 <@quantumsummers_> alright, we just need to talk with them in this case. that, or prepare for legal wrangling +20:07 <@NeddySeagoon> talk to them first +20:07 <@quantumsummers_> yep +20:07 < sping> robbat2: it's still a great finding +20:07 <@rich0> Yeah, not sure if larry is worth getting in a pitched battle over +20:07 <@NeddySeagoon> Its not +20:07 <@quantumsummers_> make a new one, that would be the easy way to go if our talks fail +20:08 <@NeddySeagoon> yeah +20:08 <@quantumsummers_> pixel shift a bit here and there +20:08 < sping> imho making a new one is no option +20:08 <@quantumsummers_> still retain the iconic look +20:08 <@rich0> It can't just be a pixel-shift. +20:08 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, that would be a derived work ... +20:08 < sping> pixel shift doesn't help either, it's still derived work +20:08 <@rich0> It has to be clearly defensible as an original creation. +20:09 < sping> actually the version of larry used most looks different already - that came from rectracing from bitmap afaik +20:09 <@rich0> Semblence might be ok in some regards, but the more different the better - at least the face. +20:09 <@NeddySeagoon> we won't solve it here and now +20:09 < sping> re-tracing i mean +20:09 < sping> so what are we going to ask font head inc? +20:10 < sping> releasing the head as CC-BY-SA? +20:10 < sping> dropping the primary aspect thing on larry? +20:10 <@quantumsummers_> lets discuss over email and try to get something to them in a week. sound ok? who on the board wants the task? +20:10 <@NeddySeagoon> can gentoo use the glyph +20:10 < sping> NeddySeagoon: ? +20:11 < sping> NeddySeagoon: what do you mean? +20:11 <@quantumsummers_> glyph == letter +20:11 <@quantumsummers_> "Font Head people: can we use it?" +20:11 < sping> sure, i don't get the rest of the point +20:12 <@NeddySeagoon> sping, Gentoo has used the Larry the Cow glyph for as long as I can remember. As far as I know there was never any agreement with the font owner +20:12 <@quantumsummers_> we simply need to ask them if we can have the right to use the letter for our stuff freely +20:12 <@quantumsummers_> or continue to exercise our right as the case may be +20:13 < sping> NeddySeagoon: i suspect the past usage fit the EULA - in that case no extra agreement would be needed, right? +20:13 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, and in exchange for attribution +20:13 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: sounds fine to me, and more than they get now +20:13 <@rich0> Might not hurt to include a copy of larry as a whole with the letter.

Its a good group, fairly low traffic +17:42 <@rich0> I'm trying to get caught up on compliance and get ahead of issues. +17:43 <@quantumsummers> awesome +17:43 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I'm interested too but I won't be active until RL calms down a bit +17:43 <@quantumsummers> anyone else want to get to know your fellow floss non-profit people? +17:43 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I understand completely +17:44 <@dabbott> quantumsummers, send me an invite +17:44 <@quantumsummers> For the record, I do not think the birth of child will effect my participation too much. I should be up alot at night +17:44 <@robbat2> quantumsummers, nope, i've got enough on my plate +17:44 <@quantumsummers> dabbott ok! robbat2 np. +17:44 <@quantumsummers> 3 of 5 is pretty good. +17:45 <@quantumsummers> I can always fwd anything interesting +17:45 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, Congratulations! It probably will affect your participation. Infants take a lot of your time +17:45 <@rich0> quantumsummers, congratulations! +17:45 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I cannot afford for it to effect things too much :) +17:46 <@quantumsummers> I can delegate to my minions if necessary +17:46 <@quantumsummers> thanks rich0, I'm really excited +17:46 <@quantumsummers> 1st kid and all +17:46 <@quantumsummers> will have a photo in a gentoo onsie asap +17:46 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, think about which office you want to keep. We will try to recruit for the other +17:46 <@quantumsummers> onezy? +17:46 <@rich0> quantumsummers, I think I can understand just a bit - stepdaughter brought home orphan kittens 2.5 months ago. +17:46 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: ack +17:47 <@quantumsummers> i have 3 cats at the moment, good ones +17:47 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, I married a family too :) +17:48 <@quantumsummers> kids are fun, will have a gentoo-powered monitoring system up by sept +17:48 <@NeddySeagoon> anyway - bact to the agenda +17:48 <@quantumsummers> yes +17:48 <@quantumsummers> so, I think I have covered most things on the list ... I have an attorney here that I ahve worked with for 6 years on call if we need +17:49 <@quantumsummers> I did take care of the trademark thing, and I did hear back from Fenwick people finally +17:49 <@quantumsummers> Question: +17:49 <@quantumsummers> Do we want to have them take care of these things in the future/ +17:49 <@quantumsummers> ? +17:49 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, do we have a contract with a CPA ? You were authorised to set something up for 18 months or so +17:49 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I have the paperwork in place. +17:49 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, are they still pro bono for us ? +17:50 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I will discuss that, they are still the attorney of record +17:50 <@dabbott> quantumsummers, what about adding corp to missouri? +17:50 <@quantumsummers> dabbott have not done that yet. Was planning that next week, early +17:50 <@quantumsummers> I have my office as our location outside of NM on the NM filings +17:50 <@quantumsummers> using my PO box as well +17:50 <@dabbott> is all the new mexico stuff done ? +17:51 <@quantumsummers> so, we should get mail +17:52 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, do you have a 501c3 file date estimate ? +17:52 <@quantumsummers> dabbott I have not filed the annual report yet, just got it. Had a question, got my answer on Friday. Will file next week +17:52 <@quantumsummers> most likely on Tuesday +17:52 <@quantumsummers> $25 fee +17:52 <@quantumsummers> will write a check (checque) +17:52 <@quantumsummers> err, ya know what I mean +17:52 <@quantumsummers> cheque +17:52 <@NeddySeagoon> hehe +17:53 <@quantumsummers> so, things are moving along rather smoothly I think. I feel comfortable estimating mid August to file as long as the CPA is fine with everything. +17:53 <@NeddySeagoon> That sound a good - in time for our EGM on 21st of August +17:53 <@quantumsummers> I would like to have an attorney review a few things. I will attempt to get that pro bono or informally first. +17:53 <@NeddySeagoon> ok +17:54 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, do you have any more ? +17:54 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I will give it my all to make it before the AGM +17:54 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I cannot think of anything right now. +17:54 <@dabbott> quantumsummers, I think you should concentrate on the financial matters and delegate the secretary duties, don't be afraid to ask +17:54 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, your turn on the SSL Options +17:54 <@quantumsummers> dabbott I would prefer that, I think. +17:55 <@robbat2> i'm still pending a response from digicert as to what renewal T&C would be, and ability to expand to more certs if we need them +17:55 <@robbat2> the key difference thus far +17:56 <@robbat2> seems to be that digicert would be handling certs outside of their normal process (vs startcom/cacert where it would have been entirely in their normal process) +17:56 <@robbat2> so no news +17:56 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: what happened with Comodo? +17:57 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, what about the intrusion into your personal data ? +17:57 <@robbat2> oops, my brainfart. s/digicert/comodo/ above +17:57 <@quantumsummers> kk +17:57 <@robbat2> NeddySeagoon, that was startcom, and one of the reasons we didn't go with them +17:57 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, thanks - I'm fine with that +17:57 <@quantumsummers> Comodo is better? +17:58 <@robbat2> they haven't asked for any of my personal data +17:58 <@robbat2> just links to our corp filing stuff +17:58 <@quantumsummers> cool. if you need anything from me as signatory, please lemme know +17:58 <@NeddySeagoon> Agenda Item 4 Bugs +17:58 <@quantumsummers> ^Foundation signatory +17:59 <@NeddySeagoon> I don't think there is anything to go through this month. Does anyone want to say anything about our open bugs ? +17:59 <@quantumsummers> everyone that I am aware of that needed payment has been paid +18:00 <@robbat2> it would be nice to get some of the artwork licensing bugs closed +18:00 <@quantumsummers> yes i agree +18:00 <@dabbott> bug 369185 +18:00 <@quantumsummers> also, 327859 (battery) can be closed +18:00 < willikins> dabbott: https://bugs.gentoo.org/369185 "Official "g" logo should be licensed under "CC-BY-SA/2.5 or CCPL-Sampling-Plus-1.0" and declared as such explicitly (2 places)"; Website www.gentoo.org, Graphics; IN_P; sping:trustees +18:01 <@robbat2> ok, on that, I'd like to explain something re the CCPL +18:01 <@robbat2> for the record +18:01 <@robbat2> (it was already in the recent emails) +18:01 <@NeddySeagoon> go ahead robbat2 +18:01 <@robbat2> CCPL-Sampling-Plus, as a license +18:01 <@robbat2> covers two things: +18:02 <@robbat2> 1. for the original work, unmodified only: CC-NC-SA +18:02 <@robbat2> 2. for any derived/transformed works: CC-BY-SA +18:02 <@robbat2> this means: +18:03 <@robbat2> 1. we need a seperate explicit commercial permission granting mechanism to allow commercial use of the g logo +18:04 <@robbat2> 2. commercial use of the derived works is not blocked at all +18:04 <@NeddySeagoon> I think we already have 1. +18:04 <@NeddySeagoon> 2 is bad +18:04 <@robbat2> why do you think #2 there is bad? +18:05 <@quantumsummers> we should be able to license the use of our trademark for a fee, imo. +18:06 <@quantumsummers> not that peeps are beating down the door or anything +18:06 <@NeddySeagoon> Because someone could make a derived work from the G logo and sell it. Its not clear to me how the Logo usage guidelines would apply to derived works, if at all +18:06 <@robbat2> derived is a really large spectrum +18:06 <@rich0> Yup, changing a pixel is probably a derived work. +18:06 <@NeddySeagoon> derived means recognisable as our logo +18:06 <@rich0> Unless the license spells it out. +18:07 <@robbat2> the wording in the actual license is that it must be creatively transformed +18:07 <@robbat2> does one pixel count as creative? +18:07 <@rich0> In that case, likely no. +18:07 <@rich0> Unless it is in /just/ the right place. :) +18:07 <@robbat2> now what happens in the case of re-rendering from the blender sources w/ different lighting? +18:07 <@robbat2> it's a morass +18:07 <@NeddySeagoon> then its a dropped bit +18:08 <@rich0> My general concern with CCPL-Sampling-Plus is that I'm not sure it was really created for trademark purposes. +18:08 -!- mattst88 [~mattst88@gentoo/developer/mattst88] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] +18:08 <@NeddySeagoon> that depends on how well our registered logo is defined +18:08 <@robbat2> there is nothing for trademark purposes that I can find +18:08 <@robbat2> perhaps more insightful is what Ubuntu has done +18:09 -!- mattst88 [~mattst88@gentoo/developer/mattst88] has joined #gentoo-trustees +18:09 <@NeddySeagoon> with two logos ? +18:09 <@robbat2> no, they have no license statement on their logos at all, and just have this instead: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ +18:09 <@rich0> Debian does something similar. +18:10 <@rich0> They have the two logos, but again they don't try to license them under CC/etc, but instead just have a policy spelled out that is specific to the trademark. +18:10 <@quantumsummers> I tend to like that, further Debian has excellent legal council +18:11 <@dabbott> http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/trademarks/ +18:11 <@rich0> I suspect that something like this is probably better than trying to get a copyright-license designed to promote sharing to fit a trademark where it must be carefully controlled. +18:11 <@quantumsummers> (another reason to take advantage of that ML I mentioned earlier) +18:11 <@rich0> http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy +18:11 <@rich0> In fact, the policy for Ubuntu is itself CC licensed so we can even copy/paste it if we attribute them. +18:12 <@quantumsummers> ubuntu is based in EU, no? +18:12 <@quantumsummers> Canonical, I mean +18:12 <@NeddySeagoon> I don't know +18:13 <@NeddySeagoon> it looks like we should reconsider our logo licence then +18:14 <@robbat2> http://www.canonical.com/legal <-- UK +18:15 <@robbat2> regardless of what we do in terms of a decision, reading and trying to understand all of this has lead me to think that we need to come up with a couple of common cases and explicitly document them for users wanting to do artwork +18:16 <@NeddySeagoon> that sounds like a plan +18:16 <@quantumsummers> maybe sping can help with that :D +18:16 <@robbat2> my personal opinion for the license decision itself, is to stick with CCPL, and word it on our page as substantially transformed +18:16 <@NeddySeagoon> well, maybe he can suggest some use cases +18:17 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: sounds reasonable +18:17 <@NeddySeagoon> substantially sounds a bit vague +18:18 <@robbat2> but i'm less concerned with protecting our trademark, I don't think the problem is anywhere near as large as perceived by other trustees +18:18 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, do you have a suggested form of words ? +18:18 <@robbat2> i was going to do it via the use case examples actually +18:18 <@NeddySeagoon> Hmm. OK. So we need to poke sping. +18:19 <@NeddySeagoon> any mre on bugs ? +18:19 <@robbat2> not from me +18:19 <@robbat2> quantumsummers, ask that ML meanwhile please? +18:19 <@quantumsummers> the phrase "substantive alteration" has some legal precendent +18:19 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: good idea +18:19 <@quantumsummers> full ack +18:19 <@NeddySeagoon> Agenda Item 5 New Business +18:19 <@NeddySeagoon> New Masterdistfiles Machine +18:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Is there a spec yet ? +18:20 <@robbat2> it's darkside's agenda item, and he's not here this weekend +18:20 <@robbat2> i haven't seen a spec +18:20 <@quantumsummers> Nor have I +18:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Should we ask the company that offered us DNS for such a server ? +18:20 <@quantumsummers> I wonder if this could be fit into the quad node I have suggested (maybe not due to disk requirements) +18:21 <@NeddySeagoon> I still owe them a reply +18:21 <@quantumsummers> Cannot hurt to suggest such an idea +18:22 <@robbat2> NeddySeagoon, if you're going to write said reply, infra is open to more hardware w/ hosting in general +18:22 <@NeddySeagoon> I would like to write back and say we could use such and such a box ... +18:22 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, ok, I'll make it general then +18:22 <@robbat2> the one catch w/ masterdistfiles +18:22 <@robbat2> is that specific box needs to live at OSL +18:22 <@robbat2> due to the mirror infrastructure +18:22 <@quantumsummers> kk, noted +18:22 <@NeddySeagoon> ok +18:22 <@robbat2> so asking any sponsors for that box probably won't fly +18:23 <@NeddySeagoon> yep +18:23 <@robbat2> since most of them have retained ownership & possesion of their hardware +18:23 <@NeddySeagoon> understood +18:23 <@quantumsummers> my 0.02 USD is that we should purchase some useful HW to live at osuosl +18:24 <@robbat2> agreed, just somebody with more time than me needs to put those specs/request together +18:24 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, I'm not against that idea +18:24 <@robbat2> which is hopefully darkside +18:24 <@quantumsummers> also, a consideration: I might be able to score us a cabinet lease in my data center +18:25 <@NeddySeagoon> that brings us to cleanup +18:25 <@quantumsummers> for cheapish +18:25 <@NeddySeagoon> DoNM 21 Aug +18:25 <@quantumsummers> fine by me +18:25 <@robbat2> 20% chance I won't make it, but otherwise fine +18:25 <@dabbott> fine here +18:26 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, ? +18:26 <@rich0> also 20% chance of not being able to make it, but likely fine +18:26 <@robbat2> (i'm volunteering at something the night before the meeting, and depends how quickly we get wrapped up, could be anywhere 2-5am before I get home) +18:26 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, sounds like a hell of a party :) +18:27 <@rich0> I have a family vacation around then, but will likely not have an issue attending unless I'm behind the wheel. +18:27 <@NeddySeagoon> Should we move the meeting a week ? +18:27 <@robbat2> it's also immediately after LinuxCon, so i was planning on inviting some of that crowd out to the party +18:27 <@rich0> If anything I suspect that moving it earlier will only increase the risk of my not making it, but uncertain. +18:27 <@dabbott> lets put it off for 1 week +18:27 <@NeddySeagoon> IS the 14th Aug better ? +18:27 <@robbat2> moving it either direction decreases my chance +18:27 <@robbat2> i say we just go for the 21st +18:28 <@dabbott> ok +18:28 <@NeddySeagoon> OK, 21st it is then +18:28 <@quantumsummers> wfm +18:28 <@rich0> Sounds good +18:28 <@NeddySeagoon> Any other Business ? +18:28 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, ? +18:28 <@robbat2> no AoB from me +18:28 <@rich0> I was just going to mention that per my manifesto I do intend to create a compliance checklist of sorts for the foundation. +18:29 <@robbat2> +1 +18:29 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, sounds good +18:29 <@rich0> Nothing to communicate here, but perhaps stay tuned on the -nfp list. +18:29 <@NeddySeagoon> ok +18:29 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, ? +18:29 <@dabbott> rich0, super +18:29 <@quantumsummers> none from me. +18:29 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, you always have sounething +18:29 <@quantumsummers> not this time +18:30 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll post logs +18:30 <@NeddySeagoon> and email sping +18:30 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, that leaves yu the montions :) +18:30 <@dabbott> I will update the agenda, no motions :) +18:30 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, shoul we dust off thr secretart ad that you responded to ? +18:30 <@NeddySeagoon> +d +18:31 <@dabbott> NeddySeagoon, +1 +18:31 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, if thats the office you would like to vacate most +18:32 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I think so.

Or, are we stuck going with the flow until it either collapses or somebody manages to get everybody to support certs in DNSSEC records? +20:31 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, I'll read up on it. No point in using meeting time to educate me +20:32 <@rich0> My sense is that despite all its warts the CA system is what currently exists, and so we have to go with it at least a little longer. +20:32 <@robbat2> i'm going to pursue what is available under option B for now +20:32 <@rich0> Now, I'm all for having the distro try to get new technologies adopted. +20:32 <@NeddySeagoon> Is there any point in moving until the dust settles ? +20:33 <@robbat2> but I suggest that everybody installs perspectives/notaries in their browsers +20:33 <@robbat2> it looks likely that Chrome will have perspectives built in sometime in the very near future +20:33 <@quantumsummers> interesting +20:33 <@robbat2> there's just one design issue being worked out +20:34 <@robbat2> option a) is entirely client-side for fixes, so I can't force it +20:35 <@robbat2> NeddySeagoon, in terms of talking to CA's, i'll continue when they respond to me +20:35 <@robbat2> attacking the problem from as many angles as possible +20:35 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, ok +20:35 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: would it be worthwhile to approach thawte? +20:36 <@robbat2> not really +20:37 <@robbat2> anyway, that's all on SSL from me +20:37 <@robbat2> i need to vanish for a sec for my wife, brb ~5-10 +20:38 <@quantumsummers> alright. +20:38 <@quantumsummers> lets move to rich0's Tracker +20:38 <@rich0> Ok +20:38 <@rich0> So, the main page is actually fairly good at this point. It reflects reality (I think), and the next due column should be considered a useful reference. +20:39 -!- keytoaster [~tobias@gentoo/developer/keytoaster] has joined #gentoo-trustees +20:39 <@rich0> Maybe I'll re-sort it by the next-due date for at-a-glance reference. +20:39 <@rich0> The next real improvement would be adding in the individual activity pages so that they are useful as a reference - a 990 for dummies page, etc. +20:40 <@quantumsummers> rich0: for certain action items, I would love to see who has taken the responsibility for the task included somewhere. +20:40 <@rich0> Now, that doesn't have to mean how to do a 990 from scratch. 990 for dummies might be gather a,b,c and send to CPA. +20:40 <@rich0> quantumsummers, yes, the Who column at the front is a big gap - missed that. +20:40 <@rich0> Is that something we can quickly build consensus on here? +20:40 <@quantumsummers> probably not without Robin +20:41 <@quantumsummers> for the entirety +20:41 <@rich0> Ok, then I can send something out in email to get it moving. Maybe I'll throw out a proposal and see what all say. +20:41 <@quantumsummers> sounds great +20:41 <@quantumsummers> thanks rich0 +20:41 <@rich0> I did actually get a compliment from drobbins on the whole thing. +20:41 <@dabbott> thanks rich0 +20:41 <@NeddySeagoon> The who should be the office holder +20:42 <@rich0> Agreed +20:42 <@NeddySeagoon> office title* +20:42 <@rich0> Actually, I'll probably just post the title +20:42 <@rich0> yes +20:42 <@rich0> Treasurer, secretary, president, etc +20:42 <@quantumsummers> as far as documenting the standard operating procedures (i.e. what to do for 990), that is really a great idea +20:42 <@rich0> yes - I can go ahead and create more skeleton pages like the two out there, but I'll need to rely on others to provide the details. +20:43 <@NeddySeagoon> If we hire a CPA to make the submissions we don't need a HOWTO +20:43 <@quantumsummers> rich0: I can provide the details on much of that stuff. +20:43 <@rich0> Well, the howto could be just a list of docs we need to provide to the CPA, how much lead time they need, and so on. +20:43 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: need a howto to get the correct info to the COA +20:43 <@NeddySeagoon> Yes - good one +20:43 <@quantumsummers> in case I am hit by th ebus +20:43 <@rich0> Basically if a meteor strike takes out all trustees this will help the next generation. +20:43 <@rich0> Assuming they have a working internet. +20:44 <@quantumsummers> lets hope this does not come to pass, but prepare for it anyway +20:44 <@rich0> Oh, and the other thing the howtos will state is what to publish where for openness. +20:44 <@NeddySeagoon> yep +20:44 <@NeddySeagoon> yep +20:44 <@rich0> So basically it lets anybody audit us, and that means we're less likely to miss something. +20:44 <@quantumsummers> *cough* excellent use of a wiki ** +20:44 <@rich0> There we go - gentoo-wiki. :) +20:44 * rich0 ducks +20:45 <@quantumsummers> rich0: anything further? +20:45 <@NeddySeagoon> heh - it would be a start +20:45 <@rich0> No, I think that sums it up. I'll see if I can focus next on the roles/responsibilities. +20:45 <@quantumsummers> ok, thanks rich0. +20:45 <@quantumsummers> Lets move on to bugs, shall we? +20:45 <@rich0> sure +20:45 <@dabbott> Nothing much new in the bugs department +20:46 <@quantumsummers> dabbott ok. I have let those silde under my radar I think. +20:47 <@quantumsummers> so, I should move on? +20:47 <@dabbott> yes we can go over them next month if needed +20:47 <@NeddySeagoon> please +20:47 <@quantumsummers> ok +20:47 <@quantumsummers> New Business +20:47 <@quantumsummers> Infra Purchase Request +20:47 <@dabbott> I think this next one is for darkside_ +20:49 <@robbat2> back +20:49 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: the infra purchase requests +20:49 -!- ABCD [~quassel@gentoo/developer/abcd] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] +20:49 <@quantumsummers> did darkside_jump out of a plane or something? where is he? :) +20:49 <@robbat2> ok, there's been some independant development on those +20:50 <@quantumsummers> do tell +20:50 <@robbat2> this channel is open, so i'll suffice to say that $bigcorp has offered us $6k for hardware +20:50 <@robbat2> the best fit for that right now, is looking like buying the VM machines with it, minus the disks, and having the foundation buy the disks +20:50 <@robbat2> very similar to the VM proposal link, just without the disks +20:51 <@robbat2> from Dell +20:51 -!- ABCD [~quassel@gentoo/developer/abcd] has joined #gentoo-trustees +20:51 <@dabbott> that will work +20:51 <@robbat2> for disks, looking at buying Barracuda XT's ourselves via newegg +20:51 <@NeddySeagoon> That works - is that a donation ? +20:51 <@robbat2> as they are sub-$200 on Newegg, and Dell wants >$500/disk +20:52 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: that is excellent +20:52 <@robbat2> not cash, purchase on corporate card shipped straight to OSL +20:52 <@quantumsummers> thanks to $bigcorp +20:52 <@robbat2> we can't go over the $6k, so we need to get as close to it as possible to maximize our use of it +20:52 <@NeddySeagoon> Sounds good. Thanks to $bigcorp +20:52 <@quantumsummers> and thanks to $person_that_made_it_happen +20:53 <@robbat2> i'll need to work out the details for the sponsor page during the next week +20:53 <@robbat2> but that purchase will probably happen in the same timeframe +20:53 <@robbat2> for the disks, i'll make a new purchase request +20:53 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, so there will be a required for disks in the same timeframe ? +20:54 <@NeddySeagoon> We can vote on that on the alias +20:54 <+armin76> robbat2: what about the thing the disks go to? i can't remember the name... +20:54 <@robbat2> yes +20:54 <@robbat2> Ganeti? +20:54 <@robbat2> drbd? +20:54 <@quantumsummers> a case? +20:54 <@quantumsummers> ;) +20:54 <+armin76> yeah, the case +20:55 <@robbat2> armin76, the r415's we're ordering are supposed to have the hotswap disk caddys in them +20:55 <@robbat2> so we just pull em and install the disks +20:55 <@quantumsummers> bing bang boom +20:55 <+armin76> okay +20:55 <@quantumsummers> alrighty +20:56 <@dabbott> what about a new Masterdistfiles Machine ? +20:56 <@robbat2> disk ideas are either 4x 3TB Barracuda XT, or (2x 3TB Barracuda, 2x 300GB 15K SAS) +20:56 <@NeddySeagoon> Do osl have some space waiting or do we have to swap out other hardware to make room ? +20:56 <@robbat2> either way, $1200-$2k on disks +20:56 <@robbat2> dabbott, that's why I was hoping darkside_ was here +20:57 <@quantumsummers> he was here earlier +20:57 <@NeddySeagoon> Put together the purchase request. We can discuss this further if darkside_ shows up +20:57 <@quantumsummers> ok +20:57 <+armin76> i'd say there's space, power is another thing +20:57 <@quantumsummers> Lets move on then +20:57 <+armin76> but i don't think that has been discussed +20:58 <@robbat2> armin76, it's discussed before, we're good +20:58 < darkside_> pong +20:58 <@NeddySeagoon> that was timely ... +20:58 <@quantumsummers> hey darkside_ you appeared +20:59 * quantumsummers is in an electrical storm at the moment. FYI +20:59 <@robbat2> darkside_, hw proposals for new masterdistfiles box, any details? (since $bigcorp is doing the VM machines) +20:59 < darkside_> i am getting frustrated at the endless bikeshedding when we talk about hw in #-infra +21:00 < darkside_> to the point that i have just ignored it +21:01 <@robbat2> after the VM, it's just masterdistfiles+pecker that are left for replacing, how can we trim the bikeshedding? +21:01 <@dabbott> no bikeshedding here what do you need +21:01 <@rich0> Yup, from a foundation perspective we really just need a proposal and the word of infra that it makes sense. +21:02 < darkside_> we've spec'd out something and posted it to the infra alias, just need someone to order the hw. BDFL-style +21:02 <@NeddySeagoon> darkside_, you are doing the work - you know what is needed - write it up, then its a done deal. +21:02 <@robbat2> i apologize for not being around more to BFDL infra into not bikeshedding +21:03 <@NeddySeagoon> darkside_, post it to trustees@ with quotes if you have them +21:03 <@rich0> It isn't like we're trying to make it on the TOPS list or something - we need some servers that work... :) +21:04 < darkside_> maybe i'll just work with robbat2 via email or so to get it done +21:04 <@robbat2> yeah, maybe best +21:04 < darkside_> eliminate the by-standing audience +21:04 <@NeddySeagoon> darkside_, ok. +21:05 <@rich0> Yup - lists are good for generating ideas. Bad for generating consensus. +21:05 <@quantumsummers> main thrust, iirc, is that you were considering an acquisition in the range of $6K to $11K +21:05 <@quantumsummers> darkside_: is the above still correct? +21:06 < darkside_> will be less now that alec is handling the VM stuff +21:06 <@quantumsummers> Ok. +21:06 <@quantumsummers> seems reasonable. +21:07 < darkside_> ok, that is all then. action for me: work with robbat2 personally +21:07 <@NeddySeagoon> darkside_, When we have the shopping list, we can fund it. That will end the bikeshedding +21:07 <@dabbott> robbat2, while we are at it what about a replacement for pecker +21:07 <@quantumsummers> I propose a 'Motion: Authorize darkside_ and robbat2 (working with me as payee) to specify and order server(s) not to exceed $8000. +21:07 <@dabbott> seconded +21:07 <@quantumsummers> this would exclude disks +21:08 <@robbat2> abstain +21:08 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, Its a bit early to put a value on it +21:08 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: *not to exceed* +21:08 <@NeddySeagoon> Its still a bit early +21:08 <@robbat2> we'll put together a ballpark and send it to the trustees alias +21:08 <@quantumsummers> I rescind the motion +21:09 <@quantumsummers> just needs to get done. +21:09 <@NeddySeagoon> We don't need a meeting to vote +21:09 <@rich0> robbat2, agree with your approach. I think it will get quick attention here. +21:09 <@dabbott> unseconded :) +21:09 <@rich0> Yup, we can approve on the alias. +21:09 <@quantumsummers> Very well, moving along :) +21:09 < darkside_> it makes things easier that alec stepped in +21:09 < darkside_> should go better now +21:09 <@quantumsummers> glad to hear it +21:09 <@NeddySeagoon> We only need 3 Aye votes too +21:10 <@quantumsummers> Next Up: KDE Akademy 2012 Support +21:10 <@quantumsummers> tampakrap and differentreality are here to answer questions. +21:10 < differentreality> yep :) +21:10 <+tampakrap> hello :) +21:11 <@NeddySeagoon> It seems the support is in two parts +21:11 <@quantumsummers> I have read the document and related email material. +21:11 <@NeddySeagoon> a) endoresment +21:11 <@NeddySeagoon> b) funding +21:11 <@quantumsummers> right +21:11 <@dabbott> correct +21:11 <+tampakrap> for now, only the first part is needed to discuss +21:11 <+tampakrap> funding will be raised again if we get accepted +21:11 <@robbat2> if we endorse it, and there are no other funders, are we on the hook for it? +21:12 <@robbat2> have other akademy's been break-even or better? +21:12 <@NeddySeagoon> I propose that the foundation endorse this attepmpt to host KDE Akademy 2012 +21:12 <@quantumsummers> seconded +21:12 < differentreality> robbat2, Not at all, funding is a separate issue, we definitely do not expect just one sponsor to cover the event :) +21:12 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, No. Much of the funding comes from KDE .e.v. +21:13 <@robbat2> ok, then one last question: how much event-planning experience do either tampakrap / differentreality have? +21:13 <@NeddySeagoon> I would expect to fund something later is the approach is successful +21:14 <@rich0> I certainly have no objections to endorsing the proposal. No big issues with a modest sponsorship of some kind. Gentoo has always had a vibrant KDE community and I'd say we're one of the better KDE distros out there. +21:15 <@rich0> Oh, and does upstream consider this the right way to go about things? It certainly isn't our intent to meddle either. +21:15 <+tampakrap> robbat2: we both have participated and organized many small and big linux events, including fosscomm 2009 (biggest annual greek event) in my city, and fosscomm 2010 in differentreality's city +21:15 <+tampakrap> i can send you a list +21:15 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, tampakrap expanded on that in an email. KDE .e.V provide support too +21:15 < differentreality> I have experience with many small / local events, mostly in my uni, as well as national event of FOSSCOMM 2010 which was held in Thessaloniki, Greece (this is where I'm from) and was a success (at least for greek foss community) with 500 people - I was main organizer/coordinator so I had to do a little bit of everything from arranging parallel presentations/workshops to dealing with the sponsorships and financial issues. I am also co- +21:15 < differentreality> founder of the linux users group in my university as well as one of the two people that created IEEE student branch in my uni, which I currently actively coordinate too. +21:15 <@robbat2> (i'm behind on my email due to electrical work at home yesterday) +21:16 <@robbat2> ok, that's reasonable for the scale of Akademy +21:16 <@robbat2> no further questions from me +21:16 <@NeddySeagoon> Any more Questions on endorsement ? +21:16 <@NeddySeagoon> Please vote +21:16 <@NeddySeagoon> Aye +21:16 <@robbat2> Aye +21:16 <@quantumsummers> Aye +21:17 <@dabbott> yes +21:17 <@rich0> aye +21:17 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, ? +21:17 <@quantumsummers> Motion carried. +21:17 <+tampakrap> thank you guys, we really appreciate it +21:17 < differentreality> thanks :) +21:17 <@quantumsummers> Good luck on the application +21:17 <@NeddySeagoon> tampakrap, differentreality You have our unamouns endorement - good luck. +21:17 <@dabbott> good luck tampakrap differentreality +21:17 <@robbat2> tampakrap, minor comment, if you do win, please make sure there are vegetarian options for all meals +21:17 <@quantumsummers> +1 +21:18 <@NeddySeagoon> tampakrap do you need something from the Foundation to support your application ? +21:18 <@robbat2> (coming from the perspective of some local friends that are KDE devs and go to Akademy, and have had food troubles a few times) +21:18 <+tampakrap> robbat2: that is actually one of the requirements :) +21:18 < differentreality> robbat2, we already have it in mind - it surely will happen +21:18 <@NeddySeagoon> tampakrap do you need something from the Foundation to support your application ? +21:18 -!- idl0r [~idl0r@gentoo/developer/idl0r] has joined #gentoo-trustees +21:19 <+tampakrap> NeddySeagoon: sure, is a certificate possible? +21:19 <+tampakrap> a letter or something +21:19 <@NeddySeagoon> tampakrap, Lets discuss after the meeting +21:19 <@NeddySeagoon> A letter, yes +21:20 <+tampakrap> sure, i can discuss it with Matt afterwards +21:20 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, sorry - I'm userping your chair +21:20 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: no biggie, you can have it back anytime +21:21 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, please continue +21:21 <@quantumsummers> *Membership Applications* +21:21 <@dabbott> Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (klondike) late addition +21:21 <@quantumsummers> Senior Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera is requesting membership to the foundation as a developer +21:21 <@dabbott> yes +21:22 <@NeddySeagoon> Aye +21:22 <@rich0> aye +21:22 <@quantumsummers> aye +21:22 <@robbat2> aye +21:22 <@quantumsummers> Congrats +21:22 <@quantumsummers> to Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera (aka klondike) +21:23 <@quantumsummers> Lets do the cleanup +21:23 <@NeddySeagoon> 16th is good for me +21:23 <@quantumsummers> fine by me +21:23 <@dabbott> fine here also +21:23 <@quantumsummers> err wait a sec +21:23 <@quantumsummers> sorry +21:24 <@quantumsummers> I should be able to attend +21:24 <@robbat2> 16th is good for me, 23/30th are really bad +21:24 <@quantumsummers> however I have lots of family in town, as we are having a baby shower on Saturday +21:24 <@quantumsummers> I can make it though, at least for most +21:25 <@quantumsummers> Date of Next Meeting is Set - 16th Oct 2011 19:00 UTC +21:25 <@rich0> sounds good +21:25 <@NeddySeagoon> That would involve lots of drink here - go careful with your hangover +21:25 <@robbat2> +1 +21:25 <@robbat2> (on the meeting, not the hangover) +21:25 <@NeddySeagoon> heh +21:26 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: we shall see +21:26 <@quantumsummers> Any Other Business?? +21:26 <@NeddySeagoon> I have 1 item +21:26 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: you have the floor +21:27 <@NeddySeagoon> The approch from the individual at Oracle ..

Should I post the message to -core +21:28 <@NeddySeagoon> It we do get support from $bigcorp it will involve $work +21:29 <@rich0> I think posting to -core makes sense, but it seems like the council already has a fair bit of support from it. +21:30 <@NeddySeagoon> but they are not going to do all the work +21:30 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll post to -core +21:30 <@rich0> Maybe ask on -core who is willing to make some kind of general commitment if the proposal is accepted? +21:30 <@rich0> Ie a few hours per week. +21:30 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: I, for one, would be willing to do a good amount of this $work as it is a general part of my day anyway. +21:31 <@rich0> Yup, I was surprised by the amount of enthusiasm, so I think we'd be able to hold up our end of things. +21:31 <@quantumsummers> I think so. +21:31 <@NeddySeagoon> yep. I don't want to end up leading just becase I'm point of contact just now +21:31 <@rich0> Still a bit of a long shot just the same. +21:31 <@NeddySeagoon> its worth following up +21:31 <@rich0> Maybe solicit somebody to lead the effort then. +21:31 <@rich0> Having a leader goes a long way. +21:31 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, volunteered +21:32 <@dabbott> a good leader I must say +21:32 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll post to -core and write to the guy with an update +21:33 <@quantumsummers> NeddySeagoon: CC or introduce me please. +21:33 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, sure +21:33 <@quantumsummers> Lets see what the real details are +21:33 <@quantumsummers> I am happy to get this started and make sure its not a dud +21:33 <@NeddySeagoon> That was my item +21:33 <@quantumsummers> damn lightning is scaring my youngest cat, LOL +21:34 <@quantumsummers> strike nearby...anyway +21:34 <@quantumsummers> thanks NeddySeagoon +21:34 <@quantumsummers> anyone else for AOB? +21:34 <@robbat2> minor note i'll be offline for a chunk of the week +21:34 <@quantumsummers> robbat2: everything alright? +21:35 <@robbat2> furnace failed entirely, and the propety manager is having a guy replace it +21:35 <@quantumsummers> oh that is good fun' +21:35 <@robbat2> but to do so needs some actual construction work to comply w/ newer building codes +21:35 <@robbat2> which happens to be in the ceiling RIGHT above my desk +21:35 <@quantumsummers> even better. +21:35 <@quantumsummers> take a vacation! +21:35 <@quantumsummers> while you have a chance +21:35 <@robbat2> lol, so i'm packing up my desktop etc +21:36 <@quantumsummers> ok. well good luck sir +21:36 <@quantumsummers> Anyone/thing else? +21:37 <@NeddySeagoon> I'll post the log and write the email to Klondike etc. I'll work up a form of words with tampakrap too +21:37 <@quantumsummers> thanks thanks +21:37 <@dabbott> I can do the minutes and motions as it is all in the same place pretty much +21:37 <@quantumsummers> dabbott will you update the motions? +21:37 <@quantumsummers> ah, many thanks +21:37 <@quantumsummers> Thank you NeddySeagoon and dabbott. +21:37 <@quantumsummers> Thusly, it is Open Floor +21:38 <@quantumsummers> Anyone wishing to speak should do so now or hold you peace until the next meeting (or send official business via email). +21:39 * NeddySeagoon drops a pin +21:39 <@quantumsummers> :) going once, twice, three +21:39 <@quantumsummers> times +21:39 <@quantumsummers> a lady +21:39 * quantumsummers bangs the gavel.

Yep, I recall reviewing the proposed roles. +20:11 <@rich0> Did we send in the New Mexico annual report? +20:11 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, thats a quantumsummers_ task ... +20:12 <@rich0> Ok, I'll follow-up with him or we can bring it up later if he shows. +20:12 <@NeddySeagoon> Ir was going to be ready a week or so after the last meeting +20:12 <@rich0> Yup - and long-term if we document how the activities are done and where the official copies are stored then updating it will be more self-service. +20:12 <@NeddySeagoon> yep +20:12 <@rich0> My goal is to have official repositories for copies of all filed documents/etc. +20:13 <@rich0> Unless anybody has comments I don't think there is much to discuss. +20:13 <@NeddySeagoon> You mean like CVS/git or something like that ? +20:13 <@rich0> That was my thinking. +20:13 <@rich0> Of course, some stuff should probably be secured (non-public). +20:13 <@rich0> Perhaps with redacted copies posted publicly - details. +20:14 <@rich0> But, my thinking is that there should be someplace official where we stick official stuff so that we know it won't burn in a fire/etc. +20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> yes. +20:14 <@rich0> Need not be the same place for everything, but if you look at my template I have a spot to tell the world where it is. +20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> Do we need to discuss bugs? +20:14 <@rich0> It need not be a place the world has keys to. +20:14 <@rich0> moving on... +20:14 <@NeddySeagoon> hehe true +20:15 <@rich0> Any funding bugs ripe for discussion? +20:15 <@rich0> I think both are already approved? +20:15 <@dabbott> I don't see any new bugs +20:16 <@NeddySeagoon> The infra HW stuff needs an infra rep.

The total value is not there yet, as shipping to OSL has not been added +20:20 <@NeddySeagoon> ... maybe vote on it on the list, when dabbott can read it +20:21 <@rich0> I'm fine to vote now or whenever. +20:21 <@dabbott> I logged in looks fine +20:21 <@rich0> I'm sure we can just approve for up to $350 or whatever to cover shipping. +20:21 <@dabbott> we can vote now, we need a motion? +20:21 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, that was close to a motion ... care to reword? +20:21 <@rich0> sure +20:22 <@dabbott> does infra have a budget for stuff like this +20:22 <@NeddySeagoon> Only for repairs - this is new stuff +20:22 <@rich0> motion to approve #383573 for a new switch - spend funds plus reasonable shipping up to $50 +20:22 <@NeddySeagoon> seconded +20:22 <@rich0> aye +20:22 <@NeddySeagoon> aye +20:22 <@dabbott> aye +20:23 <@NeddySeagoon> Carried.

What is our end-goal with them anyway? +19:26 <@quantumsummers|c> dabbott: let me setup a meeting first then I can pass the torch +19:26 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, it means you would become the point of contact with SFLC. Its more than just an email ? +19:26 <@quantumsummers|c> the main goal with them is assistance with license issues and other IP-related matters +19:26 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, that sounds like a plan +19:26 <@quantumsummers|c> ok +19:26 <@NeddySeagoon> maybe a 3 way session +19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> yep +19:27 <@dabbott> ok sure, quantumsummers|a send me what you have I will contact them and let them know I will be a contact +19:27 <@NeddySeagoon> dabbott, you and rich0 sort it out between you +19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, we'll get that going +19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> how about both rich0 and dabbott +19:27 <@NeddySeagoon> I don't have an issue with that +19:27 <@quantumsummers|c> really I think all of us should be in contact with them +19:27 <@rich0> Either is fine with me. +19:27 <@dabbott> same here +19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, I'll get the ball rolling on Monday' +19:28 <@NeddySeagoon> fine +19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> so, lets see next +19:28 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, Certified Public Accountant +19:28 <@rich0> It probably wouldn't hurt for us to think of some specific things we want to accomplish with them. Maybe sort out the logo? +19:28 <@rich0> (belay that - until we get to it) +19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> sounds good +19:28 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, they already have a list of stuff ... +19:28 <@quantumsummers|c> CPA, this got a little more complicated than I had hoped, so they filed typical extension +19:29 <@quantumsummers|c> this is normal, and I do this every year actually +19:29 <@quantumsummers|c> so we are still working on getting everything together +19:29 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, do we have a CPA under contract ? +19:29 <@quantumsummers|c> NeddySeagoon: yes +19:30 <@quantumsummers|c> this includes the 1023 application, which there is some interesting stuff going on at the IRS apparently which has delayed nearly all FLOSS applications as well as several other types of orgs +19:30 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, thats good to know, can you post the details to the alias please. We all need to know it +19:30 <@quantumsummers|c> NeddySeagoon: sure, I'll scan the paperwork next week, its all at my office +19:31 <@quantumsummers|c> meant to do that awhile ago, and clearly forgot, sorry +19:31 <@quantumsummers|c> in terms of other financial info +19:31 <@NeddySeagoon> thanks. quantumsummers|a I anticipate you won't have much time/bet much sleep in the new year +19:31 <@NeddySeagoon> bet -> get +19:31 <@quantumsummers|c> we shall see, I don't get much now +19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> we have everyone reimbursed for GSOC travel and Donnie has submitted his invoice for foundation reimbursement +19:32 <@NeddySeagoon> thats good. Nobody should be out of pocket for that +19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> I have one outstanding bug open for reimbursement for a recent hardware purchase +19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> we should receive the funds from google soon +19:32 <@quantumsummers|c> which is our main income for the year +19:33 <@quantumsummers|c> I forget the exact number but with travel, etc, its maybe $9K +19:33 <@NeddySeagoon> On a related topic, how do we keep track of projects in progress ? rich0 maybe your tracker should be expanded +19:33 <@quantumsummers|c> I have been filing bugs for things that involve money for the most part +19:33 <@rich0> I see my tracker being mainly for recurring activities. +19:33 <@rich0> Wouldn't bugs be best for single instances of stuff in progress? +19:34 <@quantumsummers|c> robbat2|na: I mentioned this in -infra, but maybe we should have a foundation group for private info/bugs +19:34 <@NeddySeagoon> I know that we have a mips project in progress, there was a similar request for alpha, which seemed to have stalled +19:34 <@quantumsummers|c> as in restrict access, not sure if it matters really +19:34 <@rich0> In fact, in an ideal world you could use the tracker to trigger creating a new bug. The tracker is the crontab, and the bug is the process. +19:34 <@rich0> quantumsummers|a, ++ +19:35 <@rich0> I see this as an issue too. Right now stuff just goes around on the alias for confidentiality, and we never really close the loop properly to make sure we don't drop things. +19:35 <@quantumsummers|c> anyway, I was told its fairly easy, robbat2|na would know more +19:35 <@NeddySeagoon> rich0, that sould pretty good. Where do we keep track of funds committed by not yet spent ? +19:35 <@rich0> Bugzilla is perfect for tracking things that have a start and an end, and we can lock the bugs that are sensitive, and leave open the ones that are in there now. +19:35 <@robbat2|na> quantumsummers|a, there is a trustees group under the foundation product already +19:35 <@quantumsummers|c> rich0: yeah, I agree it would be handy to have a place to manage things more centrally and for future proofing +19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> robbat2|na: I mean a restrict access bit +19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> as in there is one already to restrict it to devs only, etc +19:36 <@robbat2|na> quantumsummers|a, ah. ok. done +19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> the product is there, yes. might add a few things to it beyond "proposal" +19:36 <@rich0> Yup, just like security bugs, but trustees only and the CC list. +19:36 <@quantumsummers|c> thanks robbat2|na +19:37 <@NeddySeagoon> that sounds good +19:37 <@quantumsummers|c> ok, paypal stuff +19:37 <@NeddySeagoon> anyway, sorry for the digression +19:37 <@rich0> I think the templates/organization is a nice to have, but the security is critical since that is what is keeping us out. We can't go posting bank account numbers even on dev-only bugs. +19:37 <@quantumsummers|c> I am removing some previous persons SSN and replacing it with our EIN +19:37 <@quantumsummers|c> that is some paperwork that I have to submit +19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> it will make it easier moving forward to hand over control to more than one person or another single person, etc +19:38 <@NeddySeagoon> I saw the process - it looks horrendus +19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> nah, not too bad really +19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> just paperwork, I have all the info I think +19:38 <@NeddySeagoon> Go ahead then quantumsummers|a +19:38 <@quantumsummers|c> will do +19:39 <@quantumsummers|c> we were able to get the server to replace osprey and the HDDs that robbat2|na wanted +19:39 <@quantumsummers|c> I need to order 2 new caddies however, once I find where on the dell site +19:40 <@NeddySeagoon> thats good +19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> could not locate that on friday +19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> so, some cost there but surely <$100 +19:40 <@NeddySeagoon> maybe someone in -infra knows where +19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> we overpaid for the HDDs due to Thai floods +19:40 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, well, we are committed now +19:40 <@quantumsummers|c> yes +19:41 <@quantumsummers|c> I have the part number, but could not find it, will probably just call +19:41 <@robbat2|na> quantumsummers|a, we should double-check the caddys for the goog boxes as well +19:41 <@robbat2|na> ping me after the meeting re that stuff +19:41 <@NeddySeagoon> as another aside, my work uses google mail etc. I get all the foundation stuff in google docs coming up when I'm logged in for work +19:42 <@quantumsummers|c> robbat2|na: alrighty +19:42 <@quantumsummers|c> the google docs stuff can be nice actually +19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, I don't mind but my work might +19:43 <@quantumsummers|c> ah true, you should switch your .forward +19:43 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|a, I don't have a .forward, I don't think +19:44 <@quantumsummers|c> how on earth then +19:44 <@quantumsummers|c> weird +19:44 <@dabbott> you can set up a gmail account just for gentoo stuff +19:44 <@NeddySeagoon> anyway, back to the agenda +19:44 <@robbat2|na> NeddySeagoon, you use a personal gmail account for work? +19:44 <@robbat2|na> or your google accounts are associated together +19:44 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, No. The company uses gmail +19:45 <@quantumsummers|c> I do not see how that could happen +19:45 <@robbat2|na> weird +19:45 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers|c, lets not pursue it now, but if anyone has any ideas ... +19:46 <@quantumsummers|c> ok +19:46 <@quantumsummers|c> so, I think that is all from me.

No separate copyright/trademark license. They just had one policy that covered use across the board. +<dabbott> one logo for official, one open logo +<rich0> That was common as well. +<quantumsummers_> my 0.02 is that we need to protect our logo/name/mark while also allowing our users to be creative with it for non-commercial/community/personal purposes. In the case of a commercial use, we should require licensing with favorable terms like any other trademark. +<rich0> There seemed to be some variance on whether you could put the logo on for-sale items. Some allowed, and some didn't. +<quantumsummers_> there is some variance with for-sale items in floss orgs +<rich0> Many distros don't require payment to stick a logo on distribution media, if it is identical to official media. +<rich0> Then there is the "remix" concept in all the ubuntu-derived ones. +<quantumsummers_> right, I see no issue with that. I am more thinking of t-shirts, etc that people make money from +<dabbott> I am also confused as to the font used for official use +<rich0> Some distros were much more specific about font/etc than others. +<quantumsummers_> yes, ubuntu even has their own font +<rich0> I see that as a secondary goal. Maybe after license worry about fonts/etc, unless we get a volunteer willing to create a "branding guide" for us or something. +<quantumsummers_> one thing to note, the font is largely irrelevant to the use of the name +<rich0> Being that "Gentoo is about choice" and all that, my sense is that we should be relatively permissive about what you can call "Gentoo" - Gentoo isn't about a consistent experience like it is on some other distros. I can see the value in limiting commercial use since the revenue does benefit Gentoo. +<quantumsummers_> this is true, rich0 +<robbat2|na> hi +<quantumsummers_> as far as community-use, non-commercial use, and personal use, I see no issue using the mark +<robbat2|na> my bad, i'm late again +<dabbott> hi robbat2|na +<rich0> Maybe have specific wording to apply to copies of the official Gentoo install media so that people can tell what it is. However, a Chromebook can be "Gentoo" as much as a more traditional Gentoo install. +<quantumsummers_> for commercial purposes or something that is going to make money (produce a non-negligible profit) I think there must be some licensing rules. +<quantumsummers_> hi robbat2|na, glad ya made it +<rich0> Well, we don't need to spell those out so much - most of the distros say "call us" for that stuff. +<quantumsummers_> rich0: right +<quantumsummers_> to address the official versus non-official install media, we may just want to say just that on the disk +<rich0> Some distros basically said "here is what you can do for free, anything else - contact us" and maybe gave some examples of what might require a "contact" with a note that it wasn't exhaustive. +<quantumsummers_> rich0: seems fine, would give a lot of control per case +<quantumsummers_> we could make an "official gentoo media" seal to denote such a thing, as an option +<rich0> Any concerns with trying to have some kind of "creative commons" copyright license? Unless not having one causes problems I'd probably perfer to stop offering that license and just spell out what you can and can't do. +<rich0> quantumsummers_, I tend to agree on the media bit +<quantumsummers_> something should be easy to do too, I have considered as much with custom bootup framebuffer logo for myself too +<rich0> Any other thoughts around the license? I think we could try to capture some of these elements in an email to -nfp or -project and put it out for comment. Then based on guidance create a license. Maybe consider basing it on whatever is closest to our intent? Ubuntu in particular encourages copying. +<quantumsummers_> ok. so it sounds like we will allow free use for community/personal/non-commercial purposes. any commercial use should be dealt with case by case +<rich0> I think that's the gist of it. I think we're largely on the same page. +<dabbott> quantumsummers_, yes sounds good to me +<quantumsummers_> ok good. I am happy to draft a brief email to -nfp to get a discussion started +<robbat2|na> roughly on the same page, it's just agreeing on the last 10% that will take the other 90% of the time +<quantumsummers_> yep, always that way +<quantumsummers_> robbat2|na: what are your thoughts on this so far? +<dabbott> debians official logo adds the lamp to the logo to seperate it from the open logo looks like +<quantumsummers_> not real sure what we could add ... +<rich0> I think that will be something we need to figure out - if we want a dual logo. +<robbat2|na> i'm not so fussed about media, as long as it identifies as being gentoo-derived, it's uses where our imagery/artwork are used to identify as not gentoo, or to imply Gentoo's support of something +<robbat2|na> that bug me +<rich0> To be honest I've never really seen the debian official logo - it was news to me when I read that page. +<quantumsummers_> yeah, I am with you there robbat2|na +<rich0> I'd only worry about having a second logo if we plan to actually use it. +<quantumsummers_> as far as media goes, some "official foo" would suffice without altering the media +<quantumsummers_> or having another logo +<rich0> Tend to agree- I think "official wording" might be just as good as a logo. +<rich0> Just like how other distros say use "remix" and not "version" or "edition" or whatever. +<quantumsummers_> yes. +<rich0> I think the key is being clear on being "based on" Gentoo, or "powered by" or whatever. +<rich0> No two Gentoo users have quite the same install anyway. +<quantumsummers_> perhaps all we really need to do is provide some guidance for derivative distros, and leave the users to their own +<quantumsummers_> I think the only real concern is when its commerical +<quantumsummers_> in that case, its likely we won't even know what is happening or the gentoo elements are buried (i.e. the nasdaq system that has been commercialized, or chromebook respectively) +<robbat2|na> the nasdaq one differs in that it's not distributed +<robbat2|na> while the chromebook one is +<quantumsummers_> nasdaq, it is distributed, sold, etc +<quantumsummers_> just not widely +<robbat2|na> the chromebook case has a GPL followthrough, the source needs to be made available +<quantumsummers_> this is true +<robbat2|na> quantumsummers_, do you have a reference for "nasdaq, it is distributed, sold, etc" <-- their gentoo platform? +<quantumsummers_> robbat2|na: I will find it. Perhaps I misread, but I believe they were advertising the "platform" for other stock markets +<robbat2|na> they have a software package that's "NASDAQ" that runs on top of Linux +<robbat2|na> you can deploy it on any distro +<quantumsummers_> hmm, perhaps that is what I read. +<rich0> Unless they're violating GPL or whatever not really much of a concern - if they don't use the Gentoo logo they can basically do whatever they want as long as they make the source available to whoever they give it to. +<quantumsummers_> ^^ this is true +<rich0> I got the impression their Gentoo use was more back-end in nature. +<robbat2|na> they're not actually distributing any Gentoo-derived stuff, from what I gathered +<quantumsummers_> ok, seems ok then, I must have misinterpreted the language +<quantumsummers_> brb +<quantumsummers_> ok. +<rich0> Anything further to discuss here? I'd suggest taking the rest offline. +<quantumsummers_> anymore on this? shall we take this to the alias for discussion or straight to the -nfp ML? +<quantumsummers_> heh, yes +<rich0> That is - the rest of the license issue. +<quantumsummers_> fine by me +<rich0> I'd go straight to nfp - I think we hashed out much of it and we try to work in the open.

SFLC is appointing some junior attorney to handle working with me directly on this. I think this will make things go faster. +18:59 <@NeddySeagoon> Sounds good +18:59 <@quantumsummers> further, it appears there has been a change in attitude at the IRS, they are slowing down processing of floss applications +19:00 <@NeddySeagoon> Care to estimage when our 503(c) application will go in ? +19:00 <@quantumsummers> this might make our petition to them greatly extended +19:00 <@quantumsummers> its all in sflc court now, their guy is getting with me to collect all my docs, then they have a fair bit of writing ahead of them +19:00 <@NeddySeagoon> We can't influence the IRS bit +19:00 <@quantumsummers> not likely +19:01 <@NeddySeagoon> It sounds positive, just slow +19:01 <@quantumsummers> if its denied, we will have to appeal in federal court (sflc would handle this of course) our attorney is experiencing this with another group now +19:01 <@quantumsummers> but yes, I am positive. its just likely going to take awhile +19:01 <@NeddySeagoon> heh - good practice +19:02 < tsunam> heh +19:02 < tsunam> progress is progress...and one should never expect speed when it comes to the government..unless you owe them money :) +19:02 <@quantumsummers> now, this is mentioned below, but the libtxc_dxtn bit is also awaiting response +19:02 <@NeddySeagoon> tsunam, that must be the same all over the world :) +19:03 <@quantumsummers> so, also discussed the transition of tsunam away from the foundation and the record keeping, etc required +19:04 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers, it sounds like you are on top of things with the SFLC ... is there any more you need to share with us in public ? +19:04 < tsunam> I've provided a list of some items previously when I brought it up, but added at least one thing to the list. +19:04 <@quantumsummers> I am keeping a repo with a journal and any/all files dealt with in the process +19:04 <@quantumsummers> yes, thanks tsunam for the list +19:04 <@quantumsummers> very helpful. ducks will line up +19:05 <@quantumsummers> is there anything else I need to report on? +19:05 <@NeddySeagoon> Sounds good. quantumsummers who else has access?
