16:04 -!- gsherman [~gsherman@qgis/developer/gsherman] has joined #qgis_meeting_140103 16:04 < timlinux> hey gsherman ! 16:05 < gsherman> hi 16:05 -!- imincik [[email protected]] has joined #qgis_meeting_140103 16:06 -!- imincik [[email protected]] has left #qgis_meeting_140103 [] 16:06 < timlinux> is marco coming? 16:06 < timlinux> Ill send anita a quick tweet 16:06 < duiv> marco sent an email, that is is in the mountains 16:06 < jef> marco is still in the mountains 16:07 < pcav> ok, only anita missing then 16:07 < timlinux> just sent her a tweet 16:10 < timlinux> anit is coming 1 sec please 16:11 -!- anitagraser1 [[email protected]] has joined #qgis_meeting_140103 16:11 < anitagraser1> hi 16:12 < anitagraser1> does this work? 16:13 < pcav> yes 16:13 < timlinux> anitagraser1: hi - we havent started yet 16:13 < timlinux> Since the chairman is here maybe he would like to chair? :-) 16:14 < gsherman> no, someone else go ahead---0600 here and i've been under the weather so i'll just add sarcastic comments when appropriate 16:14 < anitagraser1> timlinux: ok, thanks! 16:15 < anitagraser1> pcav: do you want to start? 16:15 < duiv> I added some info on a wiki page: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/PSC_Meeting_3_Jan_2014 16:16 < pcav> suer, anitagra 16:22 < anitagraser1> pcav: would you go ahead? or are we still waiting? 16:22 < timlinux> Lets get rolling! :-) 16:22 < pcav> let's go! 16:22 < pcav> who should start? 16:23 < timlinux> gsherman: do you want to chair the meeting? 16:23 < pcav> +1 16:24 < gsherman> ok, first agenda item---Vienna hf 16:24 < gsherman> since i'm out of the loop---who has the lead on this? 16:25 < duiv> well, I do not think there has been much action from QGIS side on this 16:25 < duiv> pcav? StephanMeissl? 16:26 < timlinux> So last time we agreed to merge with OSGEO c-tribe and I guess there isnt much to do on it right now except hear from StephanMeissl what they need? 16:26 < StephanMeissl> I can give a brief report on the current status but actually there's not much to report I guess 16:26 < anitagraser1> we have no local qgis consultants, so I don't see local sponsorship from that side 16:26 < duiv> Ok, so we just show up? :-) 16:26 <@dassau> +1 for a short report 16:26 < timlinux> +1 16:26 < StephanMeissl> my main points for the moment are negotiating a hotel block and contacting sponsors 16:27 < StephanMeissl> @hotel my preferred option at the moment is the closest to the venue (~4min walk) which offers 1bedroom for 65EUR and 2bed for 85EUR 16:28 < StephanMeissl> would that suit the qgis community? 16:28 < pcav> being close is a major advantage 16:28 < anitagraser1> +1 16:28 < pcav> +1 for me 16:28 <@dassau> +1 16:28 < timlinux> No idea if we can afford that but I guess we can encourage QGIS devs to get shared rooms 16:28 < StephanMeissl> k, great maybe they even have 3 and 4bed rooms... not sure yet 16:29 < StephanMeissl> so sharing would get even cheaper 16:29 < pcav> timlinux: we can 16:29 < StephanMeissl> as said I'm negotiating 16:29 < timlinux> pcav: good 16:29 < pcav> and we want our devs to sleep well :) 16:29 < pcav> of course the cheaper the better 16:29 < timlinux> being close to the venue would be really good 16:29 < StephanMeissl> @sponsors we have currently 7 confirmed ones and a couple of intended 16:30 < StephanMeissl> my original budget planning is here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AvA-LTbghEuHdC1oX3BpYW9RUU5neTU4ZkZOeEpwcFE 16:30 < pcav> StephanMeissl: what are the sponsors supposed to cover? 16:30 < StephanMeissl> I still need to update it regarding our last discussions and to include the qgis crowed 16:31 < StephanMeissl> as detailed in the sheet I was planning for providing snacks, lunches, and dinners 16:31 < pcav> ok, I see now 16:31 < pcav> any more news? 16:31 < StephanMeissl> given the current number of sponsors I'm confident for snacks and lunches 16:31 < pcav> as it stands, we can make it official for me now 16:31 < StephanMeissl> we'll see how much of dinners we will get in the end ;) 16:32 < anitagraser1> +1 16:32 < timlinux> StephanMeissl: my one concern is that we should still have a break out space for ad hoc meetings and presentations 16:32 < timlinux> I saw on the (wiki?) that that wasnt the plan for the hackfest 16:32 < timlinux> but for QGIS meetups its an integral part of how we run our meetings 16:32 < StephanMeissl> timlinux, we will have at least one big room and one smaller one 16:33 < StephanMeissl> so we're planning to have the big room configured with 7-8 table groups for 8 persons each 16:33 < timlinux> with an overhead projector? 16:33 < StephanMeissl> the smaller one will either have a couple of groups again or a round table for 20-25 persons 16:33 < StephanMeissl> yes, should be there 16:34 < StephanMeissl> in addition they offered smaller rooms like 10-12 persons 16:34 < timlinux> ok cool that sounds good 16:34 < StephanMeissl> but I have to check if those are confirmed 16:34 < StephanMeissl> the two bigger rooms are connected but we can close the doors for your meetings ;) 16:35 < gsherman> ok, any more on this? 16:35 < timlinux> - 16:35 < StephanMeissl> if you look here http://vienna2014.sprint.osgeo.org/2013/12/16/venue.html you can see the bigger room and in the first image on the right side the door to the smaller on 16:36 < StephanMeissl> the third image shows one of the not yet confirmed rooms 16:37 < StephanMeissl> just maybe one question regarding sponsors: do you think we can/should contact potential sponsors through your usual channels? 16:37 < duiv> pcav: that was on your list isn't it? 16:37 < pcav> yes 16:38 < pcav> I'll do soon 16:38 < pcav> so: 16:38 < pcav> should we vote? 16:38 < StephanMeissl> k great, just let me know if you have any questions 16:38 < pcav> or we assume we have already decided? 16:38 < duiv> I think we already decided last meeting... 16:39 < pcav> StephanMeissl: just please (re)send me all the links you have descibing the event 16:39 < anitagraser1> yes we did 16:39 < timlinux> yes pcav we decided on Vienna last meeting iirc 16:39 < pcav> so I'll add them to my sponsorship invitation 16:39 < pcav> ah, ok 16:39 < StephanMeissl> I can send you my template 16:40 < gsherman> ready for next agenda item: Essen HF? 16:40 < pcav> so I wait for latest info from StephanMeissl and I'll start searching for sponsors 16:40 < StephanMeissl> just one point, the 10% discount expires next week 16:40 < pcav> discount on what? 16:40 < StephanMeissl> do you want to think about a special qgis something? 16:40 < StephanMeissl> discount for early sponsors http://vienna2014.sprint.osgeo.org/sponsoring.html 16:40 < pcav> oh, I see 16:41 < StephanMeissl> I'm open to discuss if you wish 16:41 < pcav> it would be nice to have a QGIS package 16:41 < pcav> but I think it would make things more complicated 16:41 < pcav> rather, I'd accept also free donations 16:41 < pcav> of any amount 16:42 < pcav> but we can also handle this through account 16:42 < StephanMeissl> I see 16:42 < pcav> we can sort this out in pvt 16:42 < pcav> I think we can move on 16:42 < StephanMeissl> maybe we should distinguish between code sprint sponsors and qgis sponsors? 16:43 < timlinux> yeah 16:43 < StephanMeissl> k, I'm available afterwards 16:43 <@dassau> next one (Essen) was from me 16:43 < gsherman> ok, go ahead 16:43 <@dassau> I wanted to ask if we still plan to go there next autumn? 16:44 < anitagraser1> +1 16:44 <@dassau> Or are there other venues? 16:44 < timlinux> dassau: +1 for autumn 16:44 < pcav> +1 for Essen 16:44 <@dassau> Because there seem to be a lot of meetings next year and I would like to make sure, that we can go there 16:44 < jef> +1 16:44 < timlinux> if we could get teh venue for the same time each year it would be great 16:44 < duiv> +1 16:44 <@dassau> ok fine 16:44 < duiv> was really nice 16:44 < gsherman> that was easy 16:44 < timlinux> then we only need to organise 1 'new' venue each year 16:45 <@dassau> So I will ask them soon what dates are available 16:45 < pcav> fine, thanks dassau 16:46 < gsherman> next item is: donation handling 16:46 < pcav> anyone? 16:46 < gsherman> what is the issue? 16:48 < duiv> issue is that pcav has troubles following up the scattered donations 16:48 < timlinux> .... 16:48 < pcav> the handling of donations 16:48 < pcav> if quite cumbersome 16:48 < pcav> currently is all manual 16:48 < pcav> Horst gets the PayPal notifications 16:48 < pcav> then he sends it to me 16:49 < pcav> I thank the donor, and update the page 16:49 < pcav> ti was ok for one donation every 15 days 16:49 < jef> .oO(procmail?) 16:49 < pcav> now it's I think >1/day 16:49 < pcav> jef: for forwarding yes 16:49 < pcav> but still 16:50 < pcav> the page should be updated 16:50 < pcav> and a thanks you latter should be sent 16:50 < timlinux> pcav: I have been building up an app for managing projects (high level) you have seen it as the changelog app here://changelog.linfiniti.com. I would happy to donate some of George (my developer)'s time to build a tool to manage these if there was some clear spec of what is needed 16:50 < pcav> furthermore 16:50 < pcav> some of the donations come through the bank account 16:50 < pcav> not PayPal 16:51 < pcav> what I would like: 16:51 < jef> pcav: it's procmail not forwardmail 16:51 < anitagraser1> guess those cannot be automatec (bank account ones) 16:51 < jef> pcav: so it could also produce a reply and update the page 16:51 < pcav> jef: then it would be enough for me 16:52 < jef> pcav: which page? 16:53 < pcav> http://qgis.org/en/site/about/sponsorship.html#list-of-donors 16:54 < gsherman> more? 16:54 < jef> duiv: how is the rebuild of the website handled? 16:54 < anitagraser1> is it common for projects to list all donors? 16:55 < pcav> I do not think so 16:55 < pcav> we can stop 16:55 < anitagraser1> then +1 for stopping 16:55 < pcav> do not know which impact this will have on donations 16:55 < anitagraser1> i don't think anyone would mind 16:55 < pcav> from the feedback I receive 16:55 < pcav> people seem happy of being listed 16:56 < pcav> but I agree, we are getting in the adult age now 16:56 < pcav> :) 16:56 < anitagraser1> we could have a summary with the release log 16:56 < gsherman> i think some record has to be maintained 16:56 < pcav> so a 0 from me 16:56 < pcav> gsherman: yes, at leas an interbnal one 16:56 < anitagraser1> instead of updating the page every time we receive a donation 16:56 < pcav> internal 16:56 < duiv> well, it is a rst/txt file, so we can even update that one only after a release 16:56 < duiv> https://raw.github.com/qgis/QGIS-Website/master/source/site/about/sponsorship.rst 16:57 < jef> so that's not currently being done? 16:57 < jef> if we receive a donation? 16:57 < duiv> yes, pcav is updating it periodically 16:57 < pcav> not for every one 16:57 < pcav> yes 16:57 < anitagraser1> microdonations via flattr are not listed I assume 16:57 < gsherman> "Donors will be listed on the sponsors page, but do not receive the additional benefits listed above for sponsors" 16:57 < jef> duiv: how? 16:58 < duiv> by hand 16:58 < pcav> yes 16:58 < pcav> that's the point 16:58 < jef> duiv: how? 17:00 < duiv> I was thinking about part of the building bashscript, adding it on the end of the rst file 17:00 < jef> duiv: ok, I'll look for the script myself ;) 17:01 < pcav> thanks a lot 17:01 < pcav> should we move on then? 17:01 < gsherman> protecting QGIS brand: http://oami.europa.eu/ows/rw/pages/CTM/index.en.do 17:02 < pcav> ok 17:02 < pcav> we basically decided to do it 17:02 < pcav> long ago 17:02 < pcav> but never agreed on a course of actions 17:02 < pcav> is the issue clear 17:02 < pcav> or should I recall something? 17:03 < gsherman> are we looking for global protection ? 17:03 < anitagraser1> what was the price point? 17:03 < pcav> that's unfeasible 17:03 < timlinux> gsherman: I think we decieded eu and usa to start with 17:03 < gsherman> agreed :) 17:03 < pcav> EU apparently is enough for establishing a prior art 17:03 < pcav> or something 17:04 < pcav> for EU si about 2kEUR 17:04 < pcav> I can search for the figure 17:05 < pcav> furthermore 17:06 < pcav> we can ask for legal support from Software Freedom Conservancy 17:06 < anitagraser1> might be worth to compare their offer with Location Tech, Eclipse Foundation http://locationtech.org/members 17:07 < anitagraser1> sounds similar to me. but maybe i got it wrong 17:07 < pcav> anitagraser1: do not know 17:07 < pcav> but it seems quite different to me 17:08 < pcav> anyway 17:08 < pcav> my suggestion is to do one thing at a time 17:08 < timlinux> yeah lets first get our trademark 17:08 < pcav> and brand protection seems the first step 17:08 < pcav> so 17:09 < pcav> should we discuss 17:09 < pcav> or vote? 17:09 < anitagraser1> what's the worst thing that can happen if we don't project the brand? 17:09 < gsherman> both? 17:10 < anitagraser1> someone can tell us to stop using "qgis" name? 17:10 < gsherman> someone will threaten a lawsuit and force us to change the name 17:10 < gsherman> has already happened with one named release 17:10 < pcav> yes 17:10 < pcav> my more immediate worry is however 17:10 < gsherman> even though they would have lost in court 17:10 < anitagraser1> ok, and in the us, that could end really bad for us? 17:11 < pcav> that a growing number of products and activities 17:11 < pcav> will use our name 17:11 < gsherman> anitagraser1, yes, potentially 17:11 < pcav> thus diluting our fame 17:11 < pcav> and potentially polluting it 17:11 < anitagraser1> pcav: good point 17:12 < pcav> I would not like to see e.g. "QGIS France" 17:12 < pcav> labelling a product that has nothing to do with us 17:12 < anitagraser1> well, i'm all for protecting it 17:13 < pcav> of course, its' relative protection 17:13 < timlinux> +1 17:13 < pcav> not absolute 17:13 < pcav> we should still go to court to enforce it 17:13 < pcav> but at least we have some degree of credibility 17:13 < timlinux> I think at least having EU and USA will also prevent someone (e.g. APPLE) making a workdwide trademarked project 17:14 < jef> we have a i in our name :) 17:14 < anitagraser1> danger 17:14 < timlinux> then we are dead :-P 17:14 < anitagraser1> ok, vote or discuss price/how to pay? 17:15 < timlinux> So a previous time we discussed EUR2k budget to get an EU trademark 17:15 < timlinux> is that still on the cards pcav ? 17:16 < pcav> yes 17:16 < timlinux> +1 from me to simply go on and do it 17:16 < anitagraser1> +1 as tim said 17:16 < jef> +1 17:16 <@dassau> +1 also from me 17:17 < gsherman> +1 17:17 < duiv> +1 17:17 < gsherman> wiki cleanup 17:18 < anitagraser1> ok, the problem is that much of the wiki is outdated 17:18 < anitagraser1> some parts duplicate what's done much better in the documentation 17:18 < pcav> and not maintained 17:18 < pcav> doc, governance, help 17:18 < pcav> etc 17:19 < timlinux> if I had my way I would jsut can the wiki and request documentation be formally maintained in the do tree 17:19 < timlinux> just 17:19 < timlinux> can == cat wiki > /dev/null 17:19 < gsherman> timlinux, radical! 17:19 < anitagraser1> most current use is for meeting organization 17:19 < pcav> I think we should remove obsolete info 17:19 < jef> gsherman: cat is not radical at all ;) 17:19 < pcav> anitagraser1: yes 17:19 < pcav> I only see it useful for HF 17:20 < anitagraser1> +1 for getting rid of it and organize meetings on a different platform 17:20 < pcav> a bit overkill though 17:20 < gsherman> jef, i meant timlinux == radical :) 17:20 < pcav> and only for organization 17:20 < pcav> once finished 17:20 < pcav> I think it should moved to gov 17:20 < duiv> today I tried to play with wiki of github... not clear to me yet 17:20 < timlinux> I think wiki is fine for stuff that will never need to be maintained again - e.g. just jotting stuff down for minutes 17:21 < jef> everything that has been moved to the doc should be removed from the wiki. 17:21 < timlinux> duiv: I dont think just replacing it with another wiki is going to solve the fundamental issue 17:21 < pcav> timlinux: no0body is gong to remove it though 17:21 < pcav> and it will rust forever 17:21 < jef> ok, should have been. 17:21 < timlinux> pcav: I think if others here dont see my suggestion as too radical 17:21 < jef> the doc was started with the stuff from the wiki, right? 17:21 < timlinux> we could ahve an end of life period 17:21 < pcav> ok, my suggestion: 17:22 < pcav> we announce the removal of the wiki 17:22 < jef> timlinux: we have an brand new UX page 17:22 < pcav> and invite anyone to say what they need to be moved 17:22 < timlinux> jef url? 17:22 < pcav> after a few weeks we remove it 17:22 < pcav> radical ;) 17:23 < timlinux> pcav (-:-) 17:23 < anitagraser1> jef: do you mean the mailing list? 17:23 < duiv> +1 17:23 < jef> anitagraser1: no, the page. 17:23 < timlinux> +1 17:23 < jef> anitagraser1: also announced somewhere. 17:24 < anitagraser1> jef: url? 17:24 < jef> timlinux: isn't there a list of wiki pages - with last change date? 17:24 < jef> anitagraser1: it was announced somewhere. 17:24 < anitagraser1> jef: http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Date_index 17:24 < jef> anitagraser1: noone announce it. 17:24 < timlinux> http://hub.qgis.org/projects/quantum-gis/wiki/Date_index 17:24 < timlinux> oops too late :-) 17:25 < jef> which date is that? 17:25 < anitagraser1> jef: sorry what do you mean? 17:25 < jef> anitagraser1: change or creation date? 17:26 < jef> the ux page is http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Usability :) 17:26 < anitagraser1> has to be change 17:26 < duiv> I think both. I created one and updated the meeting pages today 17:26 < pcav> yes 17:27 < jef> so remove everything that wasn't change in a year or so should cleanup major cruft. 17:27 < anitagraser1> i don't think that page is a good solution for UX 17:27 < anitagraser1> could be done on mailing list and then in ticket discussions 17:28 < anitagraser1> otherwise there are too many places to check 17:28 < anitagraser1> and no notifications about wiki changes 17:28 < pcav> jef: not really 17:28 < anitagraser1> (ok, there seems to be a watch function) 17:28 < timlinux> jef I think having formal areas for ux, cookbook, user docs, case studies etc should provide a more structured way to deal with docs 17:28 < pcav> the dowloadfr page was updated 17:28 < pcav> recently, but that was wrong 17:28 < timlinux> and the rest can be 'out there' on blogs etc 17:28 < pcav> as the good one is on the new site 17:28 < pcav> this creates a lot of confusione 17:29 < jef> removing everything isn't ok either. 17:29 < pcav> jef: why not leaving the users/devs to decide? 17:30 < anitagraser1> i think we should decide 17:30 < pcav> if 10 people want to keep page x, we can decide to lave it 17:30 < pcav> or move ti to gov, docs, or where appropriate 17:30 < jef> um, they have. they could have removed them. 17:30 < pcav> my suggestion: 17:30 < pcav> announce the removal 17:30 < pcav> ask for feedback 17:30 < pcav> in case anyone needs something 17:31 < pcav> and we decide what to do in these special cases 17:31 < pcav> nobody is removing anything 17:31 < pcav> in case somenone would be interested 17:31 < pcav> so we are in a deadlock 17:31 < pcav> since long 17:31 < timlinux> btw wiki is also spam hell e.g. : http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/android-qgis/Download 17:32 < anitagraser1> +1 for announcing removal now 17:32 < pcav> +1 17:32 < gsherman> +0 17:32 <@dassau> +1 17:32 < duiv> +1 17:33 < jef> -0 17:33 < timlinux> +1 (btw we can make it read only for e.g. 1 year before finally axing it) 17:33 < pcav> timlinux: -1 17:33 < pcav> this is ugly confusing for users 17:33 < anitagraser1> timlinux: -0 only with huge warning banners 17:33 < timlinux> yeah ok - there is always the internet archive for the desperate 17:33 < pcav> yes 17:34 < jef> remove the wiki or remove the current content of the wiki? 17:34 < pcav> and of course we keep an internal copy of the text 17:34 < anitagraser1> remove wiki 17:34 < jef> -1 17:34 < pcav> content for suer 17:34 < pcav> wiki, unsure 17:34 < anitagraser1> ah 17:34 < timlinux> hehe 17:35 < timlinux> ok new rule: we should all vote on the same thing when voting :-) 17:35 < pcav> :) 17:35 < anitagraser1> do we think it's going to get better after deleting the current content? 17:35 < timlinux> jef what is your reason for not wanting it removed? 17:35 < timlinux> also I dont thing e.g.. 1 year and less content is necessarily the 'good stuff' 17:36 < pcav> right 17:36 < pcav> so? 17:37 < timlinux> Well it seems content removal / purge is the less contentious choice 17:38 < anitagraser1> timlinux: then we have an empty wiki floating around ... 17:38 < anitagraser1> not a good impression either 17:38 < timlinux> anitagraser1: I meant purge as per jef's suggestion to keep only recent content 17:39 < timlinux> my preferred choice is still to delete the whole thing 17:39 < anitagraser1> timlinux: i see 17:39 < timlinux> But I am not clear on how the purge would work so I cant vote on that 17:40 < jef> hm, the page list isn't too long. 17:40 < timlinux> folks I apologise but I need to go in a few mins 17:41 < pcav> timlinux: what about release checklists etc? 17:41 < pcav> a good proportion of the pages 17:41 < timlinux> pcav: dont care about those anymore 17:41 < pcav> is this content elsewhere? 17:41 < pcav> and useful anyway? 17:41 < timlinux> pcav: they are in the sphinx docs for new ones 17:41 < timlinux> I dont think they are of any use 17:42 < pcav> so: 17:42 < timlinux> and maybe jef will have his one robot driven way to do the release anyway I dont know 17:43 < pcav> timlinux: before leaving: 17:43 < timlinux> btw we are adding checklit creation to project project too 17:43 < pcav> 1. should I go on with the trademark 17:43 < pcav> with the layer I found 17:43 < pcav> or should we seek further ? 17:43 < timlinux> I think we voted +1 on that above 17:44 < pcav> 2. about merging GSoC 17:44 < pcav> I think you are the main one 17:44 < pcav> It would be good if ou could quickly throw an answer 17:45 < timlinux> for symbols? 17:45 < timlinux> pcav: I will try to get through it this weekend 17:45 < pcav> timlinux: thanks 17:45 < pcav> I think it's an important point 17:46 < pcav> I have several requests for adding symbol sets 17:46 < timlinux> yeah we should have that in 2.2 if our release manager agrees 17:46 < pcav> fine 17:46 < pcav> thanks 17:46 < pcav> so you're free for me :) 17:47 < pcav> should we decide on the wiki? 17:47 < pcav> jef, what's your issue in removing it? 17:47 < timlinux> ok folks I'll read the logs futher and be back a little later 17:47 < anitagraser1> timlinux: see you! 17:49 < duiv> I think we will still need a wiki for certain things. So a good clean up would be good enough? 17:49 < gsherman> I have to leave as well---i'll hand the chair to whoever grabs it 17:49 < jef> pcav: we have used it. and I don't see why we shouldn't continue to do it. I think for more general it's better than ticket. and a ml IMHO isn't good for keeping a current state. 17:50 < pcav> I reformulate my suggestion: 17:50 < pcav> we ask the users and devs 17:50 < pcav> to point out which page should be kept 17:50 < pcav> and we remove all the rest 17:50 < pcav> for those who are asked to be kept 17:50 < pcav> we move to docs or gov 17:51 < pcav> all what is possible 17:51 * jef already removed a couple of pages. 17:51 < pcav> if we remain with <20 pages 17:51 < pcav> then it's manageable 17:51 < pcav> thoughts? 17:51 < anitagraser1> +1 and we should have a policy, that material that should go into the documentation is not allowed on the wiki 17:52 <@dassau> +1 17:52 < pcav> in the front page of the wiki 17:52 < pcav> before all however 17:52 < anitagraser1> on front page and (if possible) as a reminder in the edit view 17:52 < pcav> anyone knows how to save all the current pages 17:52 < anitagraser1> nope 17:52 < pcav> so in case we can always find useful info? 17:53 < pcav> we can aks pirmin then 17:54 < pcav> we still have 5 items 17:54 < anitagraser1> pcav: will you write the announcement? or should i do it? 17:55 < pcav> anitagraser1: if you want, please go 17:55 < anitagraser1> ok, i'll write to user + dev 17:55 < pcav> could you also ask pirmin to save all current state? 17:55 < pcav> just in case 17:55 < duiv> forget my points, I'll ask on lists or on HF 17:56 < duiv> I've to split also, sorry 17:56 < anitagraser1> pcav: sure 17:56 < duiv> we should do this a little more time efficient 17:56 < pcav> fine 17:56 < pcav> so we're done? 17:56 < duiv> yep 17:56 < anitagraser1> last time, i had the logo as one of my points which we didn't discuss 17:56 < anitagraser1> but i guess that's in no hurry 17:57 < anitagraser1> forget it 17:57 < anitagraser1> so we meet again next month 17:58 <@dassau> yes, let's meet again next month 17:58 < duiv> anitagraser1: we discussed, and agreed not to change it before 3.0 (see irc logs) 17:58 < jef> in the wiki ;) 17:59 < duiv> :-) ok see you next time 17:59 < anitagraser1> duiv: yes, we moved the discussion to 3.0 18:00 < pcav> ok, thanks to all 18:00 < anitagraser1> ok, thanks everyone. see you! 18:00 < duiv> thanks all, Bye 18:01 <@dassau> yes, thanks!
