Roll call ========= betelgeuse here dberkholz here dertobi123 here flameeyes here [cardoe] halcy0n here jokey here lu_zero here Old topics ========== Reactions to dev banned from freenode ------------------------------------- Update: none. Assume lack of interest. Moving meetings to a location we control ---------------------------------------- Update: none. Assume lack of interest. Favor irc.gentoo.org alias in docs, etc --------------------------------------- Update: Freenode acknowledgments page thanks people for doing this, so the potential issue with confusion apparently isn't a large problem. Goal: Can we decide today? Decision: Update all our pointers to IRC to use irc.gentoo.org. (But please mention FreeNode is our provider.) Why aren't fired developers banned from the channels where they displayed this behavior? --------------------------------------------------------------- Update: For banning from those channels: halcy0n, dertobi123 (on gentoo-dev) No opinions from the rest of us Goal: Get yes or no on banning from the same channels. If no, ask for alternate suggestions if there are any. (Example: let devrel decide) Summary: halcy0n, dertobi123, lu_zero think fired devs should be banned from the places where they behaved in the way that got them fired. dberkholz and cardoe think that this should be handled by devrel and council shouldn't set policy on it. halcy0n later agreed with letting devrel address it, as did lu_zero and betelgeuse. PMS as a draft standard of EAPI 0 --------------------------------- What changes are required before this is true? Update: The main thing that needs to get figured out is conflict resolution. Idea: Ask portage devs & PMS authors to develop a process that both groups will respect, then present it to the council for approval. Options include a "neutral" third party as PMS czar, having council decide, just trying harder to come to agreement, deciding that e.g. portage's choice always wins, random, etc. spb and ciaranm agree that a third party or council would work well. Since such a third party would probably be better invested in actually working on the spec, the council seems reasonable if PMS editors & PM developers can't work it out. 20:46 < dberkholz@> zmedico, ferringb, ciaranm, spb: so you'll all agree to follow council decisions on conflicts you aren't able to resolve otherwise? 20:46 < zmedico > dberkholz: I agree 20:47 < ferringb > dberkholz: either way, game to attempt something different- what's in place doesn't particularly work imo 20:47 < ciaranm > dberkholz: so long as the council's prepared to follow through with its resolutions 20:49 < ferringb > either way, council as arbitrator flies. Decision: Council will vote to resolve conflicts that the PMS editors and PM developers weren't able to resolve. zmedico, ferringb & ciaranm (developers of each PM) all agree that having a written specification is worthwhile. Next meeting is Sept 11, and we request that everyone involved with PM development or the spec email gentoo-dev about any issues with it. Otherwise, it's likely to be approved as a draft standard.
