21:35:06 <thd> The first meeting can vote again next month. 21:35:25 <cait> i am not sure it would make sense to split like that 21:35:38 <cait> i'd like to not spread out a vote over a month :) 21:35:39 <thd> cait: OK, I agree. 21:35:56 <cait> i don't think people won't be voted 21:36:14 <cait> did you plan to start right away? 21:36:57 <thd> cait: no, you should read my proposal. 21:37:03 <cait> i haven't yet to be honest 21:37:06 <cait> didn't have the time 21:37:25 <thd> However, the whole role should be open to everyone always. 21:37:26 <BobB> hi cait, I can speak to this 21:37:33 <wizzyrea> Personally, I think if they are volunteering, and they want to do it, they should. 21:38:01 <drojf> i don't think postponing the vote should/will keep anyone from volunteering on things 21:38:01 <barton> wizzyrea++ 21:38:06 <BobB> #info the first meeting decided to advertise the role on the list and call for nominations 21:38:20 <cait> I think so too 21:38:27 <cait> we don't keep people from cleaning up the wiki now :) 21:38:28 <BobB> #info Then there were no nominations, now there are 21:38:50 <wizzyrea> yeah, vote next time, if it really requires a vote? 21:38:53 <BobB> #info So I think it still needs a short note to the list, but now ... 21:39:03 <wizzyrea> I guess that's the part I don't understand, why it actually needs a vote? 21:39:06 <BobB> that note can point to the wiki and existing nominations 21:39:09 <thd> I wrote the entry in plural form like bug wrangler. 21:39:13 <BobB> and we vote at next month's meeting 21:39:24 <BobB> in the meantime, of course, those willing continue 21:39:49 <barton> makes sense, BobB. 21:39:57 <cait> wizzyrea: i think because we want to give it a more official touch :) 21:40:11 <wizzyrea> as you wish 21:40:14 <cait> the same as for other roles 21:40:52 <cait> #info official elections for Wiki curator to take place next meeting 21:41:07 <BobB> cool 21:41:12 <cait> we got a release team! 21:41:36 <BobB> well done cait and thank you!!!! to all team members 21:41:39 <cait> #topic Establish a Road Map for Koha 21:42:02 <BobB> #info this arises from a discussion on the sidelines of KohaCon 21:42:27 <BobB> #info Until at least 3.12 we had a roadmap that was time (release) based 21:42:40 <BobB> #info the idea is to re-create the roadmap, but not time based 21:43:04 <BobB> #info so it serves a little like a strategic plan for the code, less formal 21:43:37 <BobB> #info we suggest taht the first meeting after the Release should review the release and discuss updates to the roadmap 21:44:03 <BobB> #info but maintaining the roadmap can be a continuous process, of course 21:44:32 <BobB> #info the other idea was that items in the roadmap would be described in just a few lines ... 21:44:45 <BobB> with a link to another page providing a full RFS 21:44:50 <BobB> that 21:44:55 <BobB> 's it 21:45:24 <BobB> #info with a link to another page providing a full RFC 21:45:26 <BobB> even 21:45:31 <bag> thanks again BobB 21:45:53 <thd> BobB: You seem to be describing a wiki. 21:46:08 <BobB> it would of course be a page on teh wiki 21:46:23 <BobB> on phone 21:46:36 <cait> I think we had talked about the wiki too in argentina when discussing this 21:46:46 <wizzyrea> https://www.drupal.org/roadmap I would like to see a page like this 21:46:49 <wizzyrea> on our website 21:47:35 <cait> i think maybe draft on the wiki 21:47:44 <cait> and when we have a stable state we could move it to the website? 21:47:48 <cait> or have a link 21:47:58 <wizzyrea> https://core.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap or something like this 21:48:11 <wizzyrea> the dashboard does some of that 21:48:12 <mario> +1 21:48:22 <bag> I think for now we are just trying to get it going again 21:48:42 <wizzyrea> I'm suggesting ways in which it could be done ;) 21:48:43 <bag> the process and what it's like will come with time :) for now - yes let's do it or not 21:48:55 <cait> #link https://core.trac.wordpress.org/roadmap 21:48:58 <wizzyrea> Koha needs a roadmac 21:49:01 <thd> Is wiki content ever stable? 21:49:01 <wizzyrea> roadmap. 21:49:12 <cait> #link https://www.drupal.org/roadmap 21:49:30 <cait> i am pro trying a roadmap, but i think we need tomake sure it's not a promise 21:49:35 <cait> for a certain release or date 21:49:43 <cait> well looks like a promise 21:50:08 <wizzyrea> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Roadmap 21:50:15 <wizzyrea> bugzilla has a nice, wiki based, example. 21:50:24 <drojf> when the roadmap is discussed after releases it may be a good moment to transfer a current state from teh wiki to the website 21:50:25 <cait> #link https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:Roadmap 21:50:32 <wizzyrea> which makes use of the internal bugzilla priorities 21:50:55 <BobB> back 21:51:32 <bag> welcome back BobB 21:52:01 <cait> the first meeting suggested discussing the road map more at the next meeting, which will be shortly after release I think 21:52:29 <BobB> indeed cait 21:52:36 <bag> yeah lets do the roadmap next meeting :D 21:52:45 <cait> also to 'Have a retrospective meeting as part of the release process' 21:52:55 <drojf> did you vote yes or no in general for a roadmap in the first meeting? 21:53:01 <thd> Sadly, I am unlikely toi be able to attend the next meeting but I will read the logs and any discussion on the mailing list. 21:53:04 <cait> we could collect examples on the wiki until then, or on the next agenda 21:53:21 <cait> i think it got positive response 21:53:27 <BobB> will keep you posted, thd 21:53:46 <cait> BobB and bag were there too this morning, so I hope they correct me :) 21:53:48 <thd> My specific proposal for the wiki was mostly related to other maintenance issues. 21:53:53 <cait> well ... when i got something wrong :) 21:54:03 <BobB> it got positive response withut a formal vote 21:54:44 <wizzyrea> it's a good idea. 21:54:50 <drojf> i think it's a good idea 21:54:53 <bag> there were no objections is maybe a good way to put it 21:54:54 <drojf> yes, exactly :D 21:55:01 <cait> ok, so going to add ideas to next meetings agenda? 21:55:06 <bag> cait++ 21:55:21 <BobB> yes please 21:55:25 <cait> #agreed We will gather information and ideas for the road map on the next meetings agenda 21:55:40 <cait> #topic Establish new roles within the release team 21:55:56 <cait> we already heard a bit about the idea of having a wiki curator i think 21:56:03 <cait> the other idea is having a communication manager 21:56:07 <cait> BobB: could you explain? 21:56:08 <thd> One of the key things I examine for any software project which posts one is the development roadmap. 21:56:19 <BobB> yeah I think we have resolved wiki curator for now? 21:56:46 <cait> thd: i think the danger is that we can't give guarantees formost things - as we are on time based - hope we can avoid wrong expectations 21:57:22 <thd> I also prefer feature based releases but that has not worked as well for the project. 21:57:23 <drojf> i understood the roadmap to be not time/releasebased so i see no problem there 21:57:29 <BobB> thd that is a core aspect of the proposal - the roadmap will not be time based 21:57:44 <bag> drojf++ good comment 21:58:20 <wizzyrea> A statement of "these are the things we're working on, but we don't know when we'll get them done" 21:58:35 <wizzyrea> or "these are the goals we have for the project" 21:58:40 <wizzyrea> and maybe a statement of priority. 21:58:42 <BobB> yes, prominently 21:59:09 <BobB> or just whether it is being worked on now or not 21:59:37 <cait> should we omve on to Communication Manager? 21:59:45 <BobB> #info on the sidelines of KohaCon there was discussion about adding a Communications Manager role to the release team 22:00:09 <bag> yes let's move on cait 22:00:30 <BobB> #info this is to be a coordinating role, more than a doing role 22:00:58 <BobB> we thought it would be a role a librarian could fulfill, rather than a developer, 22:01:07 <BobB> so that it does not consume development time 22:01:24 <BobB> but is active in seeing the project is promoted more than it is now 22:01:37 <BobB> So: prompting other people to write stuff, 22:01:54 <BobB> liaising with the (excellent) newsletter team 22:01:56 <bag> BobB: is this written up anywhere? or waiting for vote and then forwarding to mailing list? 22:02:18 <BobB> its in the minutes of the first meeting I guess 22:02:50 <BobB> not elsewhere, in any great detail 22:03:12 <bag> ok cool - I have some people in mind 22:03:19 <BobB> I don't have anything to hand bag 22:03:26 <thd> Is this the role Kahtiki [please correct my spelling]? 22:03:39 <BobB> I think the question is: do we endorse the role 22:03:54 <BobB> if so, it can be fleshed out and call for nominations put out to the list 22:04:00 <drojf> is it supposed to be some kind of official spokesperson to direct inquieres to? 22:04:07 <bag> BobB: no worries - I'm thinking a phone call will work from me (of course) 22:04:16 <bag> drojf: nope 22:04:25 <bag> thd: no 22:04:40 <BobB> droif not necessarily, but it could be if the community had that level of confidence 22:04:55 <BobB> so maybe that could come later 22:05:00 <drojf> ok 22:05:03 <cait> i think we started with a discussion that we do great things, but don't tlak about it 22:05:13 <cait> and trying to think of ways how we could make that happen 22:05:34 <BobB> Stuff gets on list but not pushed as a press release e.g. to Marshall Breeding 22:05:55 <wizzyrea> we should ask marshall breeding to publish our newsletter. 22:06:02 <drojf> makes sense. thinking of the excellent video that was done in argentina… we could probably have more things pushed to the outside world 22:06:32 <bag> rangi had a few good things to say in it too - check the logs 22:06:47 <BobB> we just found out there is a union catalogue in Argentina with a thousand public libraries: wow! but who knows that? 22:07:10 <bag> the idea is someone to help us all promote koha better (not protect it) 22:07:16 <bag> but not an evangelist 22:07:30 <BobB> the closed source systems have marketing departments, we have word of mouth :) 22:07:48 <cait> orthe public libraries in greece 22:08:03 <BobB> or phillipines or turkey ... 22:08:06 <bag> sort of more a journalist 22:08:13 <bag> yeah what cait and BobB are saying 22:08:56 <cait> turkey... not greece, although who knows? :) 22:08:57 <BobB> more to pull stuff together and to get it out there, rather than to do stuff oneself 22:09:28 <bag> and of course whomeever volunteers for this - will help create and shape the roll 22:09:33 <drojf> BobB: i think that may have to do with the "free & open" thing. you can get every information you would ever like to have about koha by yourself. that is not the case with proprietary systems. but we should not assume that everyone will know that and/or want to go looking for all the things themselves 22:09:43 <cait> should we have a quick vote to see if people like the idea? 22:09:54 <bag> yup good point drojf 22:10:01 <BobB> exactly droif 22:10:06 <bag> (voted this morning) 22:10:13 <wizzyrea> I like it, but I don't know if it's going to be economically possible for a volunteer to do what you are asking. 22:10:29 <cait> i think if we got a bit more done than now... already a win 22:10:37 <cait> and maybe it could grow into a team? 22:10:40 <BobB> if they do a bit, its more than now :) 22:12:06 <BobB> We can put it out to the list, if there is not response, nothing is lost, 22:12:11 <cait> ok, quick like/not like vote? 22:12:12 <BobB> but if someone comes forward, its a win 22:12:24 <rangi> http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Release_Announcements <-- david nind did this 22:12:29 <cait> +1 like it 22:12:32 <rangi> and used to, (still does some) update stuff 22:12:37 <rangi> i think thats a good start 22:12:43 <cait> yeah that's pretty cool 22:12:49 <bag> right thank you for saying that cait and BobB - more is better than nothing and being overwhelmed 22:13:01 <drojf> +1 i like it too 22:13:02 <eythian> actually even someone sending notices about releases to the places that are likely to publish that sort of thing would do good. 22:14:21 <cait> first meeting agreed to have BobB send something to the mailing list 22:14:36 <cait> i thik as we heard no 'no' - we can do that? 22:15:03 <bag> yuppers 22:15:10 <cait> #action BobB will email the mailing list about the new roles 22:15:19 <BobB> ok 22:15:25 <cait> #topic KohaCon15 22:15:38 <cait> gbengaadara: still around? :) 22:15:47 <gbengaadara> yup 22:16:03 <gbengaadara> #info kohacon15 will be between 19th - 25th October 2015 22:16:06 <bag> heya gbengaadara 22:16:27 <gbengaadara> hi bag 22:16:36 <gbengaadara> #info Conference 19th - 21st, Hackfest 23rd - 25th 22:17:05 <gbengaadara> Done some update to http://kohacon15.projektlinkkonsult.com/ after the first meeting 22:17:36 <gbengaadara> Attempting to edit the wiki pages 22:17:50 <rangi> excellent 22:17:55 <gbengaadara> but still finding my feet 22:18:05 * BobB has to leave now, apologies 22:18:24 <barton> BobB++ 22:18:32 <cait> BobB++ 22:18:39 <barton> nice explanations earlier. 22:18:48 <bag> later BobB 22:18:55 <bag> good work gbengaadara 22:19:24 <bag> adding the airport info like rangi asked is key :) 22:19:33 <rangi> yep he has :) 22:19:38 <cait> #info http://kohacon15.projektlinkkonsult.com/ updated now :) 22:19:40 <gbengaadara> Should have some info in the kohacon15 page on the wiki in a couple of days too. 22:19:43 <bag> anybody have recommendations or comments for gbengaadara 22:20:24 <cait> not right now - looks pretty good :) 22:20:40 <cait> maybe we should add a short note to the website about KohaCon15 if we haven't yet?
