Notes

Meeting Scheduling

Should we keep this Tuesday/Sunday cadence in upcoming months?

  • Maybe this should be a question we should put on the mailing list as well for feedback.

What are we working on?

Luke Mackenzie

  • I am working on updating the WordPress port. It is far more complex than I had imagined so progress is slow. I have had 2 calls with Jan Jambor for some pointers but he has indicated that he won't have any more time to help me with this. I would appreciate some scheduled IRC time with someone to answer some questions.

Dan K

  • Slower than usual because I have to focus more on finding freelancing gigs. I'll try to get a start on the per-user disk quota thing in the admin this week though.

Jacob Weisz

  • Reviewing Docs PRs and the like.
  • Looking at vagrant-spk 1.1 goals.
  • Been sick, haven't made progress on app packaging help.

Lyre Calliope

  • We have a fiscal host! Open Source Collective has agreed to host us via Open Collective. Which means we can begin fundraising soon.
  • Next steps are to tighten up contributor onboarding, and coming up with a budget, governance which means, making decisions on how we will make decisions, and then planning+executing a fundraising campaign based on the budget.
  • I'll work on a loose timeline for this this week.

Zack

  • Working on Weblate
  • Working on Jupyter
  • Updating some docs
  • trying to get rust-capnp to generate docstrings

Ian Denhardt

  • Contract stuff mostly done
  • A few small cleanup patches
  • Looking at:
    • Powerbox requests from the server
    • Making spk dev use capnproto

Mid-term Roadmap/Goals

It would be great to have a list of priorities that we want to invest time and resources into, and also ways to systematically track it.

Lyre started a thread to discuss priorities 2ish months ago. Ian outlined some ideas.

(Lyre's dream is to one day be a big shot Product Manager btw)

Jacob wants to work on self-hosting experience. Lots of low hanging fruit with high impact. Per user disk use, (other examples?)

We can work towards defining some milestones and then document them on the github wiki, where the contributor documentation is.

Work on the github wiki:

  • Turn the home page into a resource for people to be able to dive in.
