could we have the details? 14:17:00 is the open design folks room? or? 14:17:09 about the testing there - should we talk here or at #ux-team? 14:17:09 Yes, design. 14:17:21 nice, will stop by so :) 14:17:44 https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/git_workflow_for_design_in_os_projects/ 14:18:02 oooh, nice one 14:18:09 I will try to attend 14:18:29 antonela: maybe it's a good opportunity to test both downloading page and onion services for users 14:18:58 yes, lets plan on that 14:19:00 diogosergio: do you want to add it here? https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2020Brussels#TalksatFOSDEM 14:19:25 yes, would be great 14:19:30 yes! good stuff diogosergio 14:19:46 Thanks guys! 14:20:15 oki, anything else on fosdem? pili? 14:20:59 I'll be here on Friday: https://hsbxl.be/events/byteweek/2020/opensourcedesign/ 14:21:06 trying to learn something :) 14:21:12 hsbxl is an awesome space 14:21:34 and I think that is all for me and UX/FOSDEM stuff 14:21:55 nice nice 14:23:05 okey, google summer of code 14:23:16 projects, yes we have 14:23:34 the styleguide maintenance that didnt make it last year? 14:24:08 yup, there's a few, I just need to go digging through my email to find them :) 14:24:27 and I know we always have lots of good automation/workflow ideas that could be suitable 14:25:00 even lektor plugin development and other related work 14:25:07 antonela: would you be confident mentoring/co-mentoring something? 14:26:02 i think so 14:26:12 if it is going to be development work we maybe want hiro to join this effort 14:27:06 some work in TBA which doesnt have funding needs to be done too, not sure if is suitable for a student 14:27:10 ryup 14:27:11 *yup ;) 14:27:19 but yes, we have projects 14:27:37 when is the application deadline? 14:27:56 I don't think lektor development is something exciting enough for GSOC 14:28:23 but css and styleguide could be 14:28:44 aunque, is python and people like python 14:29:25 I'd check past GSOC projects and see what's in there 14:29:31 what is the timeframe to collect projects pili? 14:29:37 antonela: sometime in february, I need to double check 14:29:45 that's the submission deadline 14:29:55 would be good to have something by the end of the month 14:30:00 for our internal deadline 14:30:01 got it 14:30:23 5th February 14:30:33 Applications for orgs open today 14:31:00 why was tor rejected last time? 14:31:07 hiro: I think we could have some big website related projects that include lektor and other things :) 14:31:22 hiro: not sure, there's a few theories :) 14:31:38 we don't know for sure though 14:31:58 weird, anws 14:32:07 anything else on gsoc 14:32:07 ? 14:32:44 I don't want to jump onto anyone's toes but I think website development thrown into GSOC is not a good idea because I think google wasts exciting projects and html and css isn't exciting 14:33:12 TBA and other stuff of the kind is the kind of stuff they might be looking at 14:33:49 hiro: fair enough :) 14:33:53 but that's just my opinion 14:34:09 so feel free to put that forward if you feel otherwise 14:34:19 I agree with you about them wanting exciting projects 14:35:00 and that html and css are not challenging enough for GSoC 14:35:05 I thought that there may have been things beyond that that we could do 14:35:31 even for a frontend padawan? 14:35:39 if there isn't we can just look for projects/mentors in other teams 14:36:03 frontend padawan <3 14:36:13 * antonela forever padawan 14:36:25 e.g maybe some stuff with website analytics 14:36:59 I don't know, we can go off and think about it 14:37:13 could be, we can talk more about it during the www meeting this week 14:37:31 nah: you next? 14:37:45 ok 14:37:58 we've been working on a research around new features for onion services. 14:38:21 this research is for (1) developers and (2) users of onion services in general 14:38:34 before releasing it, we want some inside volunteers to test the research 14:38:43 so we can see if the flow works 14:39:06 so, this is a call for anyone who is available for testing the user research on onion service 14:39:38 it will take only 5 min of your life, ideally :) 14:39:51 so if you can participate, ping me, please 14:40:01 perfect nah :) 14:40:05 thanks for moving this forward 14:40:41 we have S27 meeting right after this one so i'll call for volunteers there too :) 14:40:57 im sure devs will have suggestions and questions as well 14:41:03 thanks! :) 14:41:05 antonela: +1 great idea 14:41:28 nah: I can help to test the research 14:41:53 thanks pili! 14:41:54 I can help out too, just ping you. 14:42:14 thanks diogosergio ! 14:42:55 i write to you two by the end of the meeting ;) 14:43:35 make it three! 14:44:15 perfect! 14:44:22 nice, thanks folks for volunteering :) 14:45:04 i added to the agenda two lines which i copy pasted from last week 14:45:21 diogosergio: there are two tickets we triaged that are call for design 14:45:41 if you are familiar with linux, i'd love to have a solution for that ancient ticket :) 14:46:10 Okay, I will have a look. 14:47:17 feel free to ping us or tbb-devs about it in the ticket 14:47:22 thanks diogosergio :) 14:47:24 I've been also looking at the download page and exploring some concepts for the verify signature section/page. 14:47:41 ohh nice 14:47:52 did you see the version we are currently testing? 14:48:04 https://lektor-staging.torproject.org/tpo/develop/download/ 14:48:40 i feel on marmot day, lets update it! 14:48:53 i think the download flow is prior for ux/www this month so i'm happy to review your stuff regarding that diogosergio 14:49:01 Ah yes, its pretty similar to what I had imagined, I went a bit out of scope and just explored some ideas to re-arrange the page. 14:49:36 are you updating any ticket in trac or dip? 14:49:47 make sure your versions get uploaded somewhere :) 14:49:49 for the records 14:50:03 Will do. 14:50:16 super, thank you 14:50:34 i think that is all what we had in the agenda 14:50:37 anything else? 14:50:52 good readings at the end 14:51:20 i'm good 14:51:29 did some updates to the translations docs, not sure how to position stuff 14:51:41 i mean, we have to leave trac, right? 14:51:59 i want to leave trac, personally 14:52:00 yes 14:52:12 i have some docs in trac and thinking where to put them.. i am not sure 14:52:41 i mean i am the only editor of the docs but somehow i feel the community portal a place not meant to host a wiki 14:53:09 i agree 14:53:29 do you think dip is a good place to host the wiki? 14:53:38 anyway if somebody wants to help me find a place for my docs at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/translation is welcome. there is a mess also with the localization lab docs 14:53:41 emmapeel: did we not create a localization project in dip in the end? :) 14:53:44 (I can't remember) 14:53:55 i feel like yes, dip is a good place to host a wiki 14:53:58 emmapeel: for example: https://dip.torproject.org/torproject/community/meta/-/wikis/home 14:54:05 pili: yeah we didnt and i think it is part of the same problem 14:54:05 right 14:54:08 oi ggus <3 14:54:11 the wiki is also shared across all the web projects... but localization is bigger than web 14:54:21 yeah 14:54:31 true, but if at some point we will all be in dip.. 14:55:30 anyway so if anybody has ideas aboiut that... 14:55:41 maybe i should open a ticket 14:55:46 in trac? lol 14:55:53 the problem with this apporach is that you need to enter in a particular wiki... i was thinking we could have a master repository to simulate a main wiki 14:56:04 well, there is the Tor Project group 14:56:08 that could be a solution 14:56:09 do groups have wikis? 14:56:12 yeah! that is a part of the problem! not sure where to open the ticket 14:56:14 I can't remember 14:56:18 emmapeel: hahaha 14:56:21 or is it just projects? 14:56:26 tor project group looks nice 14:56:59 emmapeel: I think trac is still ok to open this ticket 14:57:18 (S27 meeting here in 2 minutes...) ;D 14:57:22 maybe is something we want to have documented 14:57:25 yes yes 14:57:33 anything else folks, could i call it? 14:57:38 yeah ok will open ticket, when can follow up in tor-l10n 14:57:47 s/when/we 14:57:48 oki, thanks emmapeel 14:58:35 thank you people for being around today! 14:58:38 * antonela will call it 14:58:40 Thanks all! 14:58:51 #endmeeting
