We were all too busy 18:10:09 Me too, re core team 18:10:10 happy to participate for DC21! 18:10:44 I'm guessing paddatrapper (who couldn't make it to the meeting) will also be 18:10:45 I should have time for helping with DC21 18:11:02 Would like to volunteer 18:11:37 #topic DebConf21 -- Questions for the DebConf Team 18:12:13 To plan ahead, I think it would be a good idea to compile a list of questions we want the dc team to answer 18:12:43 so far I have "Possible dates?" and "How many tracks?" 18:13:41 I think the "what additional infra" question might better fit in the next topic 18:16:12 ok, I guess that's enough for now :) 18:16:28 #topic DebConf21 -- Infra work needed? 18:17:15 I think we were very happy with infomaniak's help for DC20 18:17:41 it seems to me like we have a decent base infra to operate from, but that adding more stuff would require more (core/infra) volunteers to manage it 18:17:43 If we want better matrix integration, that needs to be done 18:17:57 Or social area 18:18:49 I didn't participate to FOSDEM, but I don't think we need matrix 18:19:24 it was really well integrated and made the experience that much more interesting/fluid 18:19:25 I think IRC for social works pretty well and we can have a nice tutorial for newcomers on how to use the debian.social matrix instance to join 18:19:55 we don't /need/ it but even as a person used to irc it worked much, much better 18:20:07 hmm ok 18:20:21 well, I'm not opposed to it then if someone wants to put energy into that :) 18:20:30 how would the integration tie-in though? 18:20:33 via wafer? 18:21:05 `I like matrix, and there are nice mobile clients, which I think is important 18:21:09 I'm willing to gather more details about how fosdem did it and draft a plan before the next meeting 18:21:23 Please 18:21:34 then we can evaluate how much work it would be 18:21:50 #action olasd to gather more info on how fosdem integrated matrix 18:22:08 back to hosting though :) 18:22:28 is everyone OK with me asking zigo if we can have infomaniak sponsor machines again? 18:23:05 Yes! 18:23:11 sure 18:23:11 another solution would be for us to pay for hosting at Hetzner or something alike 18:23:39 #action pollo to speak with zigo about possible DC21 hosting sponsorship from Infomaniak 18:23:42 Guest1502 talked about another infra sponsor for streaming? I don't remember which 18:24:45 Cloudflare 18:25:05 instead of use DO droplets? 18:25:09 *using 18:25:15 instead or in addition, I guess 18:25:21 depends on what they're really offering 18:25:22 Yep 18:25:30 what would we gain from it? 18:25:35 They're offering hls proxy 18:25:46 Global 18:25:56 yeah, more locations for endpoints 18:26:02 interesting 18:26:13 #info we might want to investigate Cloudflare hls proxy 18:26:37 (the downside is that Cloudflare is Cloudflare, which may make some attendees unhappy, hence my "in addition" suggestion) 18:27:06 should we discuss the idea of the Q&A webapp now or do we want to wait for the matrix discussion? 18:27:28 not sure if matrix was intended to replace etherpad altogether 18:27:49 A q&a app would be nice 18:28:30 I have very little experience with web stuff, but I do have some time and I can code okish python 18:28:55 I'd be interesting in doing grunt work if someone else volunteers to do the engineering part 18:29:13 I'm really surprised that's not a solved problem, considering the number of online floss confs there's been 18:29:15 I'll happily do some scaffold on it 18:29:37 olasd: I had a look online a few months ago, but I guess I can look again :) 18:29:58 #action pollo to verify if there is already a usable FOSS Q&A web app out there 18:30:28 #info pollo happy to work on the Q&A web app, tumbleweed happy to help with the design 18:31:20 as for the review system, I think sreview will work well if we don't try to use the original footage as we did at DC20 18:31:30 it would be very nice if the final review could be integrated though 18:31:38 agreed and agreed :-) 18:31:55 wouter: curious to know if this (final review in Sreview) is a realistic goal for DC21 18:32:12 if not, we might want something more solid than an ethercalc 18:33:38 Guest1502: as for the volunteering system, are we going to be able to use wafer for that? 18:34:07 I'm not sure I understood why it wasn't possible for miniconfs, but ISTR some incompatibilities with the new codebase? 18:34:37 Yes, we can 18:34:54 It isn't possible in the mini setup atm 18:35:08 #info we'll use wafer to manage volunteers 18:35:38 I think that's it for my list :) Anything else we should talk about for the infra? 18:36:34 I think that's good enough for now 18:37:15 #topic Video Archive Documentation 18:37:32 * pollo grubmles something about finally doing this before the next meeting 18:37:48 #topic Any Other Business 18:38:34 ah, we didn't talk about this, but I'm taking for granted we're aiming for buster at DC21, not bullseye right? 18:38:41 if not, ansible might be a problem 18:39:18 We're coordinating an ansible upload, let's see 18:39:36 ah, nice! 18:40:04 I think it'd be nice to test bullseye out, at least at the beginning of prep 18:40:30 +1 18:40:46 #info we'll try to test bullseye for DC21, but not promises! 18:40:59 anything else? 18:41:46 we're doing bi-weekly meetings for now? 18:41:51 #topic Next Meeting 18:41:58 I think we should 18:41:59 ah, sorry, jumped the gun 18:42:18 wfm, just checking 18:42:47 Next meeting will be on Thursday April 29th, from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC ? 18:43:37 #agreed Next meeting will be on Thursday April 29th, from 18:00 to 19:00 UTC 18:43:40 :) 18:43:44 #endmeeting
