What's the action item here then, meeting wise? To continue discussion on it? To vote on it..? :) 21:13 < lamby> (yay for zumbi \o/) 21:14 < zumbi> right, that is correct 21:14 < tpot> Yes - was just going to say that tbm had zumbi as an example in his email but I don't think there was a specific motion. 21:14 < schultmc> I updated the password store this afternoon and will work with zumbi to get him up to speed to help with reimbursements 21:14 < tpot> OK - congratulations zumbi. 21:14 < schultmc> we can do a formal motion if needed 21:14 < tpot> and thank you! 21:14 < tpot> I don't think a formal motion is needed but for transparency I think it needed to be discussed at a board meeting. 21:15 < lamby> :) 21:15 < Snow-Man> +1, having more folks working on that is good. 21:15 < schultmc> zumbi: thank you for volunteering. I'll get you a writeup of what needs to be done shortly 21:16 < zumbi> thanks all, my pleasure 21:16 < zumbi> to add some background information, one member of treasurer team is busy with real life, and more help was requested on treasurer work. 21:17 < schultmc> additional assistance is always welcome if anyone else would also like to volunteer :) 21:17 < zumbi> I have already been working in the past with DebConf and Debian related matters, so I have good understanding with tbm to process the current backlog. 21:18 < zumbi> and thanks schultmc for doing that work many many years now 21:18 < lamby> +1 21:18 < schultmc> I'll still be available to assist as well but it's nice to have more people on the treasury team 21:19 < schultmc> [item 7.2, Annual report] 21:19 < tpot> As mentioned on the board list, tbm has proposed to complete the work of preparing the annual report this year. 21:19 < tpot> As part of his contractor role - estimated time 5-10 hours. 21:20 < lamby> Nod. 21:20 < tpot> No objections raised on the mailing list and several ppl agreed. 21:20 < schultmc> seems reasonable and much appreciated 21:20 < tpot> Indeed - I think he has done a fantastic job in the past. 21:20 < Snow-Man> +1 21:20 < lamby> I suspect many of the lines of communication are already open because of the past work too, so would take less "net" time too. 21:22 < zumbi> +1 21:22 < schultmc> [item 8, Any other business] 21:22 < schultmc> Anything to discuss? 21:23 * lamby has one 21:23 < Snow-Man> Just to mention, I've (sadly, only relatively recently) gotten all the items that counsel asked for over to him for getting the review done wrt contractor contracts that was discussed on list 21:23 < Snow-Man> that should be progressing again though. 21:24 < lamby> I raised in board@ but I was wondering what my next steps with Ganeti was. I have written a proposal for the motion and sent it out but did not receive any response. 21:24 < lamby> I am likely using the wrong procedure that I ought to have discovered, but I had hoped (and certainly they did) that we could have discussed it more formally today. 21:25 < schultmc> has the motion been sent to -general? 21:25 < Snow-Man> If there's been a review and a motion sent.. 21:25 < lamby> Not to general, I sent it to board@ first in case I was making any obvious errors. (My first formal motion, you see..) 21:26 < lamby> Happy to send it to -general if that's the next step. :) 21:26 < Snow-Man> is there anything particularly different about it or reason to think that it being sent to -general would change anything..? I agree that transparency is good but also feel like it wouldn't be ideal to push it out another month.. 21:27 < schultmc> I think it's a standard motion and the sticking points have already been resolved aiui 21:27 < lamby> No specific reason, I was being cautious before sending it out to the world at large. There is surely at least one obvious mistake in my writing. 21:27 < lamby> Cool. 21:28 < lamby> I will therefore send it to -general; thanks. 21:28 < schultmc> I think Snow-Man is suggesting we vote today to not delay 21:28 < Snow-Man> yes 21:28 < Snow-Man> (and also send it to -general) 21:28 < lamby> Oh, okay. 21:28 < lamby> :) 21:29 < fsf> Unless there is special reason to think that we _shouldn't_ do it, I think voting today makes sense 21:29 < lamby> https://gist.githubusercontent.com/lamby/8457624ae9ff63dd7ab9e8636104d4bf/raw 21:29 < lamby> here is the text 21:30 < Snow-Man> looks pretty stock to me 21:30 < tpot> I'm happy with doing it today if there are no procedural objections to this happening. 21:30 < Snow-Man> does anyone have any concerns about having a vote today? 21:31 < schultmc> not me 21:31 < fsf> not me. Since Ganeti is developed by google, and I work for google, should I abstain? 21:31 < lamby> :) 21:32 < Snow-Man> fsf: perhaps not a bad idea though I'm not personally overly worried about it. 21:32 < tpot> Motion shall be named as 2020-04-13.cl.0 21:32 * Snow-Man motions to vote today :) 21:32 < fsf> KO - I'll abstain because better safe than sorry IMO 21:32 < lamby> Ditto here, and we have enough people. :) 21:33 < tpot> ok let;s go then 21:33 < tpot> Voting started, 8 people (lamby,schultmc,tpot,zumbi,fsf,tridge,snow-man,luca) allowed to vote on 2020-04-13.cl.0 - Ganeti as associated project. - You may vote yes/no/abstain only, type !vote $yourchoice now. 21:33 < zumbi> !vote yes 21:33 < lamby> !vote yes 21:33 < Snow-Man> !vote yes 21:33 < fsf> !vote abstain 21:33 < schultmc> !vote yes 21:33 < tridge> !vote yes 21:33 < tpot> !vote yes 21:34 < tpot> Current voting results for "2020-04-13.cl.0 - Ganeti as associated project": Yes: 6, No: 0, Abstain: 1, Missing: 1 ( luca ) 21:34 < tpot> luca? 21:35 < luca> sorry, biobreak 21:35 < luca> !vote yes 21:35 < tpot> no worries - thanks! 21:35 < tpot> Current voting results for "2020-04-13.cl.0 - Ganeti as associated project": Yes: 7, No: 0, Abstain: 1, Missing: 0 () 21:35 < tpot> Voting for "2020-04-13.cl.0 - Ganeti as associated project" closed. 21:35 < schultmc> Anything else to discuss? 21:37 < schultmc> [item 9, Next board meeting] 21:37 < schultmc> The next board meeting is scheduled for: May 11th, 2020 at 20:00 UTC 21:37 < schultmc> Any objections? 21:37 < fsf> None from me 21:37 -!- tpot changed the topic of #spi to: Next SPI board meeting is on May 11th, 2020, 20:00 UTC on #spi. Agenda: //https://spi-inc.org/meetings/agendas/2020/2020-05-11/ 21:37 < lamby> None. :) 21:37 < MorbidMind[m]> Hi, 21:37 < MorbidMind[m]> What is the status of infrastructure changes? Especially website and its certificate? 21:37 < Snow-Man> looks good for me 21:38 < schultmc> *GAVEL* 21:39 < Snow-Man> MorbidMind[m]: the short answer is that we're trying to hire someone to help us out with the infra changes but it's been a longer process than we had expected, but it's at least progressing and (seems to be, at least) nearing the end 21:39 < luca> in the interest of transparency, tpot is working on dns stuff and i'm granting him access to Domains pwstore file 21:40 < MorbidMind[m]> Process of hiring or migration? 21:40 < Snow-Man> hiring 21:40 < Snow-Man> which is a bit complicated given that we're looking at bringing someone on who lives/works in another country, heh. 21:42 < MorbidMind[m]> Ok, @me if you need any help, especially around security of the configuration. 21:43 < Snow-Man> sure, thanks.
