I've drafted an email which darix is kindly going to blast to them to ask them to update their connect profile or register 15:07:54 Ilmehtar: thanks, I will leave this off the AI list now as the ball is rolling 15:08:10 Ilmehtar: dont think I have got cloaked yet 15:08:27 saurabhsood91: I bet you'd on my list then..lets have a look.. 15:08:31 There was no update from vuntz on the planet.o.o thingy, thus keeping it as an action itme 15:08:41 sure.. 15:08:42 s/itme/item/ 15:09:02 #action vuntz continue to work on access for planet.o.o 15:09:28 Any other action items from past I might have missed? 15:09:58 OK, next topic then 15:10:07 #topic GSoC Status 15:10:23 saurabhsood91: your topic ;) 15:10:26 * saurabhsood91 is here 15:10:36 saurabhsood91: you did not put your Freenode nick in your connect.opensuse.org profile, therefore we have no way of assigning your cloak..we need both the nick and the cloak info to be correct in connect in order to process it 15:10:40 I know the application for openSUSE is in, what's next? 15:10:42 robjo: nothing much to report. we have submitted our application... 15:11:00 only darix's project needs to be updated on the wiki 15:11:03 rest seems fine 15:11:14 Ilmehtar: looking at my profile now. will update it asap :) 15:11:35 anyone any questions/concerns about GSoC? 15:11:50 saurabhsood91: okay, then you'll be done 'nexxt round' - probably in a few weeks as I want to give people with broken data an opportunity to update their connect details. 15:11:59 Ilmehtar: sure 15:12:04 no problem on that ;) 15:12:13 I did receive my cloak, and thank you. 3 years in the making :) 15:12:48 Ilmehtar: i cant see any specific place of putting my nick on connect 15:12:58 OK, nothing else on GSoC, I'll take credit for the timely fashion of meeting progression ;) 15:13:12 #topic New Ideas & initiatives for the project? 15:13:35 It was proposed that we have a standing agenda item for new ideas and initiatives 15:13:38 saurabhsood91: https://connect.opensuse.org/pg/profile/saurabhsood91/edit/ - you want the "Freenode IRC Nick" field, just below 'Jabber (XMPP)' and above 'Freenode IRC cloak' 15:13:41 Lets see how that goes. 15:14:01 does anyone have new idea and initiatives we can/should discuss today? 15:15:07 'fraid not 15:15:13 In 2012 year Linux foundation made 30 interviews, to 30 kernel developers... 15:15:24 why not to make something similar? 15:15:43 is a way to promote and to show who's behind the code... 15:16:15 maybe with the board members... or openSUSE team, and other hackers... 15:16:21 victorhck: sounds like a reasonable idea, want to drive that? 15:16:39 good idea! we did that a while ago, the 'People of openSUSE' interviews, I remember it was rather popular with some 15:17:02 definitely worth repeating 15:17:04 something like that: http://www.linux.com/news/special-feature/linux-developers 15:17:52 (and I trasnlated all that interviews in spanish for my blog...) 15:18:21 for me was very interesting, and I would like to know the geekos behind the code... 15:18:28 my 2cnts... 15:18:52 we would need someone to drive this 15:19:57 tumbleweed...................... 15:20:01 so any volunteers? 15:21:25 I'm not english speaker... 15:22:00 <|miska|> Most of us aren't 15:22:01 victorhck: that's OK, you can still formulate questions, we can probably find someone to help with editing 15:23:13 victorhck: you can think about if you want to drive this, or you can send a message to -project to see if you can get some helpers 15:23:41 Any other ideas/initiatives? 15:23:41 Well I can write some questions and try do something... 15:23:51 victorhck: thanks 15:24:19 yep I have another something... 15:24:34 This month is going to celebrate FLISOL 15:25:04 A big Festival in many countries... 15:25:15 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLISOL 15:25:22 yep 15:25:30 Why not to promote that? 15:25:46 victorhck: what do you mean by 'promote that'? 15:25:48 The ambassadors make a GREAT work in their countries... 15:26:05 I don't know... 15:26:29 We could indeed collect a list of flisol meetings where openSUSE ambassadors go to 15:26:31 and write an article 15:26:38 not sure how many meetings we have ambassadors at 15:26:39 Maybe spreading the word... 15:26:47 in part because I don't speak spanish... 15:27:09 victorhck: if you want to kick this, ask ppl if they go etc - I'll happily help you with an article. 15:27:21 Yep Imade it !! 15:27:33 I ask Cheperobert & Itxshell 15:27:53 I'm waiting their mails... 15:28:22 #action victorhck to check with ambassadors of openSUSE participating in FLISOL, jospoortvliet help with article 15:29:00 anything else on this topic?
