------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The GNOME Foundation is excited to announce that GUADEC 2010 will be held in The Hague, Netherlands July 24th-30th, 2010. The conference is expected to draw more than 500 attendees to discuss and direct the future of the GNOME Project. The Hague was one of several locations proposed for GUADEC in 2010. It was chosen in part due to the excellent facilities at the bid site, as well as easily accessible site for those traveling to GUADEC. The conference will be held at the Haagse Hogeschool, the higher vocational education institute in the region with an existing affinity for open source. The core team of the winning bid consists of Vincent van Adrighem, Koen Martens, Sanne te Meerman, Fabrice Mous, and Reinout van Schouwen. Each of the core team members are well-rooted in the FLOSS community at large, with network spanning the most active FLOSS organizations in The Netherlands. The conference will lead up to the GNOME 3.0 release in September 2010. Keeping with the 3.0 theme, the three primary themes for GUADEC 2010 will be Government, education, and end users. See the GUADEC Website [1] for more information about the conference. Registration details and information on the call for papers will be up by January 6th. Look for another announcement at that time with more details about the CFP and tracks for GUADEC 2010.

In short, by encapsulating monadic left-folds in an "Iteratee" type, incremental pure processing is possible without using lazy IO. Sources to read: Oleg: Streams and Iteratees < http://okmij.org/ftp/Streams.html > Magnus Therning: Trying to work out iteratees < http://therning.org/magnus/archives/735 > cdsmith: Iteratees Step By Step (Part 1) < http://cdsmith.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/iteratees-step-by-step-part-1/ John Millikin (me): Understanding Iteratees < http://ianen.org/articles/understanding-iteratees/ > Currently, the primary package for left-fold enumerators is John Lato's "iteratee". It is based on Oleg's original code, extended to support various forms of containers, platform-specific IO, and codecs for the WAV and TIFF formats. While I appreciate Mr. Lato's development of the package, I find it far too large, and its documentation too sparse, to effectively use. To correct this, I've written the "enumerator" package. It is also derived from Oleg's IterateeM.hs , but with a simplified API and significantly reduced dependency list. Hackage entry: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/enumerator Haddock docs: http://ianen.org/haskell/enumerator/api-docs/ Source code (literate PDF): http://ianen.org/haskell/enumerator/enumerator.pdf darcs get http://ianen.org/haskell/enumerator/ Additionally, I've included examples of using enumerators to implement simplified versions of the "cat" and "wc" utilities. These should serve as a useful starting point for anybody who wants to use enumerators in their own code: http://patch-tag.com/r/jmillikin/enumerator/snapshot/current/content/pretty/Examples/cat.hs http://patch-tag.com/r/jmillikin/enumerator/snapshot/current/content/pretty/Examples/wc.hs There are already a few libraries using the existing "iteratee" package (snap, attoparsec-iteratee, hexpat-iteratee); I am very interested in advice from the authors of these libraries. In particular, are any of the removed features (ListLike, WrappedByteString, seeking) something your libraries depend on? Are there any useful combinators you'd like to see included? _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Hask ... @haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell

arbcombo -- Draft Regulatory Language Available - Off-Road, Truck and Bus, Drayage Truck, Tractor-Trailer GHG, and LSI Fleet Regulations

ARB staff has posted the draft regulatory language and
presentations for the upcoming In-Use Diesel Regulations series
of public workshops. The workshops will cover proposed
amendments to the Regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel Fueled
Fleets (off-road regulation), the In-Use Heavy-Duty Diesel-Fueled
Vehicles Regulation (truck and bus regulation), the In-Use
On-Road Diesel-Fueled Heavy-Duty Drayage Trucks Regulation
(drayage truck regulation), the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas
Emission Reduction Regulation (tractor-trailer GHG regulation),
and the Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Requirements
(LSI fleet regulation). This series of workshops is intended to
be the final one prior to Board consideration of staff's proposed
amendments.


Staff has also posted informational documents describing the
proposed amendments, how the proposed amendments were developed,
and the anticipated affects these changes will have on fleets.

The draft regulatory language and information documents are
available online at the following program webpages:

Truck Regulations
www.arb.ca.gov/dieseltruck

Off-Road Regulations

Background

On April 22, 2010, staff presented an update to the Board on the
emissions inventories used to develop the off-road and the truck
and bus regulations, as well as a summary of the impact of the
recession on emissions from off-road vehicles, trucks, and buses.
At that meeting, the Board asked staff to develop changes to the
regulations that would reduce their economic impact on affected
businesses during the ongoing economic recession, while
continuing to protect public health, meet federal clean air
deadlines, and move forward through uncertain economic times.
The Board also directed staff to consider approaches to give
credit to firms that have already complied with the performance
requirements of the regulations.

In May of 2010, staff held a first series of workshops to receive
feedback on general proposals to amend the off-road regulation
and truck and bus regulation and the emission inventories
underlying both regulations.

Then, in June and July of 2010, staff held a second series of
workshops to request additional feedback on the proposed
amendments to both regulations. At each workshop, staff also
solicited comments on the proposed amendments to the drayage
truck regulation, and the tractor-trailer GHG regulation.

At a third series of workshops in August and September of 2010,
staff requested feedback on the updated emissions inventories
underlying the off-road regulation and the truck and bus
regulation. Additionally, staff from ARB's Research Division
presented a summary of the newly released report "Estimate of
premature deaths associated with fine particle pollution (PM2.5)
in California based on U.S. EPA's methods".

The Truck and Bus, Off-Road, and Drayage Truck Regulations are
intended to reduce toxic and smog-forming emissions from trucks,
buses, and off-road vehicles. Reducing such emissions is
necessary to meet federally imposed clean air standards and to
reduce the adverse health effects from air pollution throughout
the state. The Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation is intended to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tractor-trailers traveling
California's roadways.

While staff is proposing to amend several elements of the truck
and bus and off-road regulations, many provisions are in effect
and not being considered for amendment. These include:

Off-road reporting and labeling requirements;
Off-road idling limits and sales disclosure requirements;
Truck and bus sales and disclosure requirements; and
Existing requirements for trucks and buses utilizing the
agricultural vehicle provisions and some two engine street
sweepers.

However, due to the pending amendments to the truck and bus and
off-road regulations, several requirements have been postponed:

On February 11, 2010, ARB issued a delay of the off-road
regulation's retrofit and turnover requirements pending further
notice.

The truck and bus regulation's reporting for early credits was
originally required by March 31, 2010, but has been delayed until
early 2011. Also, the truck and bus retrofit and turnover
requirements (scheduled to begin January 1, 2011) will also be
extended by several months.

regulations, please call the California Air Resources Board
Diesel Hotline at 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735). You may also visit

During these years I was able to work on many different projects, such as MSV, JAXB, JAX-WS, Metro, GlassFish v3, and Hudson, to name a few, with many great people. It was all quite an enjoyable journey . I won't list all those names one by one here, for it will be too long, but if you are one of them, I think you know that I'm talking about you. As my colleague Abhijit said once, a large part of enjoying your work is the people you work with. So with a bit of sadness and a lot of excitements, I announce that today is my last day at Oracle. Where am I heading next? I'm actually starting my own company to take Hudson to the next stage. This has always been in the back of my mind, and I'm very excited that I'm finally doing it. Stay tuned for more details, in a week or so. But in the mean time, if you'd like get any custom development/support done on Hudson, please let me know at kk ... @kohsuke.org so that we can start having a conversation. Even though I leave Oracle, I'll continue to lead the Hudson project. I'll be working with Oracle to transfer the infrastructure services to their IT operations team. There might be some out-of-schedule releases, service disruptions, and other inconveniences during this period, but hopefully things will be back in order relatively quickly. And finally, big thank you to everyone in the Hudson community, and in a broader java.net community. I wouldn't be here without you guys, and I feel very proud that I'm a part of it.

[09:52] masafumi_ohta: and Clay and guys do you have a team wiki page?could you please tell your team page? [09:56] masafumi_ohta: and talking about SFD on facebook http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=107692845018 [09:59] ClayB_laptop: Masafumi I'm not sure we are doing anything yet so I haven't registered a page [10:01] masafumi_ohta: okay We will tell what we do in the SFD both pages. [10:02] ClayB_laptop: Cool [10:02] masafumi_ohta: teresa I miss your talking about OS Dev Con,could you tell me some informations I should know? [10:03] masafumi_ohta: I wish I would go there and have some speech... it is too far.. [10:04] teresag: Sure, when the call is over. Too hard typing and facilitating.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ We use sam-fs 5.0 , connected to a sun L500 tape drive. The current sam-fs policy create 2 copies, one of which we export to off-site. The other stays "near-line" for faster staging back. We are thinking of using sam-fs to store domino mailboxes (an archive mailbox containing emails older than say 12 months ) , and allow the users to maintain a link to the archived mailbox in sam-fs. Q. Is there any way to configure the sam-fs system to allow the user to open (after stage back) and browse the mailbox without requiring any special settings in domino server ?? Q. if a user acts upon a single archived emails item, the mailbox would actually be updated. Can SAM-FS be made to automatically re-archive the file if its contents are changed. If so, what happens to the old copy stored on tape ? does it just become orphaned and the new file is re-archived? This is ok, as the event would be infrequent. also the recycling of tapes could purge any "stale' copies on the tapes.

As you can read on p113 of the user guide (p139 of the pdf) http://www.vsni.co.uk/downloads/asreml/release3/UserGuide.pdf !mvinclude just imputes zeros. This obviously assumes centred covariates.

I was under the impression that if the probability of missingness depends on the value observed for some other data (MAR), then by including this data and structuring the likelihood correctly then correct inferences (i.e. in the absence of missingness) could be made. Given that the default na.action of lmer seems to deletes other data (complete case analysis), it is hard to see how the other data can be used to 'correct' for missingness. MCMCglmm uses augmentation for missing data. Internally, this is often used just to simplify/speed up the matrix operations using dummy data. However, I had presumed that if users really did have MAR data then the augmentation would take care of this. I know ASReml has an na.includeY argument so presumably there is something to be gained by not reducing the problem to a complete-case analysis, but perhaps this function is there just to allow users to make predictions for missing data points. I know the asreml team read this list, so perhaps they could comment? Cheers, Jarrod, This message is intended for the addressee named and may contain confidential information.

Some suggest the original English remained in Britain when the North American colonies were founded; others claim it was brought to the Americas by the British settlers , leaving a pale imitation back in Britain. The truth is much stranger: the original English was actually smuggled out of Britain to the West Indies in a wardrobe belonging to General Sir Ralph Abercromby, where it ended up on the island of Trinidad after Sir Ralph took possession of that territory in the name of the British Crown. It came to be used and modified freely by the various immigrants to Trinidad (and later Tobago) and their descendants (largely African, Indian, British, Portuguese, German, Spanish, and Chinese). Many of these peoples then emigrated, bringing the original English to North America and back to Britain.

arbcombo -- REVISED AGENDA: Public Workshops to Discuss Amendments to the Off-Road, Truck and Bus, Drayage Truck, and LSI Fleet Regulations

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) will also be including a
discussion on the proposed amendments to the Heavy-Duty Vehicle
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Regulation (tractor-trailer GHG
regulation) at the upcoming diesel workshops in September and
October.

A revised workshop notice is posted at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1040/msc1040.pdf

The California Air Resources Board (ARB) invites you to
participate in a final series of public workshops to discuss the
proposed amendments to the Regulation for In-Use Off-Road Diesel
Fueled Fleets (off-road regulation), the In-Use Heavy-Duty
Diesel-Fueled Vehicles Regulation (truck and bus regulation), the
In-Use On-Road Diesel-Fueled Heavy-Duty Drayage Trucks Regulation
(drayage truck regulation), the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas
Emission Reduction Regulation (tractor-trailer GHG regulation),
and the Off-Road Large Spark-Ignition Engine Fleet Requirements
(LSI fleet regulation).

The workshops will be held on the following dates at the
following four locations:

Sacramento (will also be webcast)
Date: Thursday, September 30, 2010
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

The Sacramento workshop will be webcast, and live video feed has
been setup for alternative locations to telecast the Fresno
workshop. ARB staff plans to present the same information at
each of these four workshops.

At these workshops, staff will be soliciting input on the revised
proposed amendments to the off-road, truck and bus, drayage
truck, and tractor-trailer GHG regulations. Staff will also
provide information on the revised emissions benefits expected
from the regulations based on the new regulatory proposals.
Additionally, staff will be soliciting input on amendments to the
LSI fleet regulation, which include continuing the limited hours
of use exemption, lengthening the duration of compliance
extensions, and some minor clarifying amendments. For more
information on these workshops, including agenda, please see the
workshop notice which is available at:
http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/mailouts/msc1040/msc1040.pdf

Background

On April 22, 2010, staff presented an update to the Board on the
emissions inventories used to develop the off-road and the truck
and bus regulations, as well as a summary of the impact of the
recession on emissions from off-road vehicles, trucks, and buses.
At that meeting, the Board asked staff to develop changes to the
regulations that would reduce their economic impact on affected
businesses during the ongoing economic recession, while
continuing to protect public health, meet federal clean air
deadlines, and move forward through uncertain economic times.
The Board also directed staff to consider approaches to give
credit to firms that have already complied with the performance
requirements of the regulations.

In May of 2010, staff held a first series of workshops to receive
feedback on general proposals to amend the off-road regulation
and truck and bus regulation and the emission inventories
underlying both regulations.

Then, in June and July of 2010, staff held a second series of
workshops to request additional feedback on the proposed
amendments to both regulations. At each workshop, staff also
solicited comments on the proposed amendments to the drayage
truck regulation, and the tractor-trailer GHG regulation.

At a third series of workshops in August and September of 2010,
staff requested feedback on the updated emissions inventories
underlying the off-road regulation and the truck and bus
regulation. Additionally, staff from ARB's Research Division
presented a summary of the newly released report "Estimate of
premature deaths associated with fine particle pollution (PM2.5)
in California based on U.S. EPA's methods".

The Truck and Bus, Off-Road, and Drayage Truck Regulations are
intended to reduce toxic and smog-forming emissions from trucks,
buses, and off-road vehicles. Reducing such emissions is
necessary to meet federally imposed clean air standards and to
reduce the adverse health effects from air pollution throughout
the state. The Tractor-Trailer GHG regulation is intended to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions from tractor-trailers traveling
California's roadways.

While staff is proposing to amend several elements of the truck
and bus and off-road regulations, many provisions are in effect
and not being considered for amendment. These include:

• Off-road reporting and labeling requirements;
• Off-road idling limits and sales disclosure requirements;
• Truck and bus sales and disclosure requirements; and
• Existing requirements for trucks and buses utilizing the
agricultural vehicle provisions and some two engine street
sweepers.

However, due to the pending amendments to the truck and bus and
off-road regulations, several requirements have been postponed:
• On February 11, 2010, ARB issued a delay of the off-road
regulation's retrofit and turnover requirements pending further
notice.
• The truck and bus regulation's reporting for early credits was
originally required by March 31, 2010, but has been delayed until
early 2011. Also, the truck and bus retrofit and turnover
requirements (scheduled to begin January 1, 2011) will also be
extended by several months.

regulations, please call the California Air Resources Board
Diesel Hotline at 866-6DIESEL (866-634-3735). You may also visit

If you're having issues and can add some details to bug #2512, it would be appreciated: http://bugzilla.opennms.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2512 - Unstable: Current Release is 1.7.0 Trunk is still moving crazy fast, so hopefully we'll be getting another 1.7 release out there soon when a few things settle down, so people can help test. In the meantime, feel free to try the nightly snapshots (if it's not on a production system, of course). - Trunk: Acknowledgement Daemon Dave continues to make progress on Ackd in between crazy days at the TeleManagement Forum's Team Action Week (more on that later). Hopefully it will be ready for folks to test it out in the next few weeks. - Trunk: Inventory Daemon Fresh off the heady high of getting WMI support in trunk, Matt Raykowski has started work on on inventory daemon, which intends to provide a more flexible interface to systems asset and inventory information than our current (anemic) asset system. - Trunk: Provisiond Provisiond continues to progress towards something usable. Matt's been working on finishing the scanning code, and Matt and I both have spent some time this week making an optimized SNMP table tracker which will let us perform operations on collected SNMP data as it comes in, so scans of nodes with large numbers of interfaces will happen in a more timely manner. I also finished up this week a RESTful API to the Provisiond importer, which will let you edit and create model-import and foreign sources. The web UI is next, and will use this API for creating provisiond's configuration. - Trunk: RANCID Support Guglielmo continues to flesh out the RANCID API. Work has begun on the OpenNMS web UI side of the implementation, and small changes are still being made to the RANCID java bindings. - Trunk: Node Page Updates Donald continued his work on making the node page more dynamic. TeleManagement Forum's Team Action Week --------------------------------------- OpenNMS, represented by OGP members Craig Gallen and David Hustace, is participating this week at the TeleManagment Forum's (TMF) Team Action Week (TAW) in Lisbon. Craig is leading the TMF Interface Program (TIP) Reference Implementation (RI) team and we will be creating open source implementations of TIP interfaces starting with Service Problem Management (SPM). The artifacts created by the reference implementation team will be libraries that can be used to develop NGOSS-compliant components in service provider applications. OpenNMS has committed to working on the Service Problem Management (SPM) interface (Alarms), Inventory, Performance Management, and Trouble Ticket implementations. For more information see the interface program page on TMF's web site: http://www.tmforum.org/InterfaceProgram/5733/home.html Upcoming Events --------------- February 2nd-6th, 2009: OpenNMS training will be available through The OpenNMS Group in Milan, Italy. February 9th-13th, 2009: OpenNMS training will be available through The OpenNMS Group at the OpenNMS training facility in Pittsboro, NC. March 14th, 2009: OpenNMS User Conference Europe 2009 will be held in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. June 14th-19th, 2009: OpenNMS Dev-Jam 2009, the annual OpenNMS developers conference, will be in Minneapolis-St. Paul this year. For more information on training, go to: http://www.opennms.com/training.html For more information on the conference, see: http://www.opennms.org/index.php/OpenNMSUCE2009 For more information on Dev-Jam, see: http://www.opennms.org/index.php/Dev-Jam_2009 If you have anything to add to the events list, or you wish to be a Dev-Jam sponsor, please let me know.

You can see the discussion in the april discussions of the social list: http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/social/2008-April/000109.html One point of this discussion was to organize the pubsub nodes for a blog. For my own, I don't think this is the right question, because I think this should be implementation specific. Not everybody will have the same needs, so the organization of the nodes may be different and efficient depending on the cases (not everyone manages publication the same way). But what is important here is not the final organization, but the "tools" providden to the implementers. Currently the only "tools" are the possibility to organize in nodes, subnodes, etc. like in the whole file system history. This is necessary, but very weak as soon as you want advanced organization, with "stuffs" (the published items, but maybe even container nodes!) belonging to several categories (so a system of category and tag), or why not the possibilities of dynamic nodes (like you can do in http) generated depending on path or options, etc. Directory architecture is nice, especially because it is close to our "material classification system" (you cannot classify a single paper in several file, unless you copy it), but does not give all the "power" which is accessible with current technologies, especially computers. -- Jehan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jehan's Profile: http://www.jabberforum.org/member.php?userid=16911 View this thread: http://www.jabberforum.org/showthread.php?t=95 Hi all, In the spring I wrote an article describing and analyzing some of the statistics generated by my validator Nikita the Spider .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi, On behalf of the Zeitgeist team I am proud to announce our first development release, Zeitgeist 0.3.0, leading up to what will be our stable series which will be 0.4. It is our intent to aim for a 1.0 release as soon as we feel good about the stable series, but that is still a bit in the future. Now that we've crossed the initial hurdle in the rewrite we expect the release cycle to be much shorter than this one, although we have not settled on something strict yet. As many of you know the bulk work on this release was done in the Zeitgeist hackfest in Bolzano. Since we came back we've been busy little bees polishing it up and fixing bugs - trying not to flame each others too much when discussing the designs :-) Working face to face in Bolzano gave us a unique chance to really discuss things through and get to the bottom of the details. This will also affect other developers a bit since... We were bad boys and decided to change both our internal database structures as well as our public DBus API. Sorry - but after long discussions we all agreed that this was for the best. The new design is leaps and bounds better than the old one. This means that you both have to give up on your old log database, and accept that there are no GUI written for the new API just yet. This is being worked on as you read this though! Something that might come as a shock to some other developers is that we decided not to store annotations and bookmarks within Zeitgeist. This should be done in Tracker or some other semantic metadata storage[1]. Zeitgeist answers only when and how data was accessed, but stores no information about the current state of the metadata. We will be working very closely with Tracker from now on since 0.7 is a blessed dependency for GNOME 2.30. Congrats to the Tracker Devs. You can download the release from: https://launchpad.net/zeitgeist/+download The NEWS entry reads: First development release leading up to the stable 0.4 series. This release features: - Complete rework of engine and DBus API. Read: apps written against 0.2.* will most certainly need an update (see fx. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2009-November/msg00019.html ) - Public Python client API defined in zeitgeist.datamodel and zeitgeist.client modules - Documented public API with Sphinx (we'll have an URL for you shortly) - Changed Ontology from XESAM to Nepomuk. - Removed the Storm backend (obsoleted in 0.2.1). - Removed the Querymancer backend. - Support for event payloads (binary attachments to events) - An extension API for the core engine, allowing extensions direct access to the DB There are already a handful extensions things in the works here, you will hear more about this later There are a few DISCLAIMERS that needs to be attached to this: - The event notification/signals are not yet ready in the new DBus API. We expect to have that ready for 0.3.1. - We plan to support querying only for available items (eg. filtering out deleted files, not listing files on detached USB storage, etc.). However this feature is not fully supported yet, even though it is exposed in the API. - While we are pretty satisfied with the database layout, there may still be changes in the ontologies or concrete data extraction methods. This might require that users delete their log databases in order to rebuild them with the new definitions. Of course this will no longer happen when we go stable - Much related to the point above our event ontologies are not yet set in stone, and minor changes are expected - We have only one logger enabled for now. Namely the one monitoring your recent files. In coming releases this logger may well be deprecated in favour of application specific plugins. - And finally. Please note that this is a *development release*. We can not guarantee stability of services nor APIs, although we strive hard to keep things stable. Cheers, Mikkel [1]: There have been talk about defining (and implementing) a very simple DBus API for storing semantic annotations (bookmarks, tags, comments, ratings, etc). In our internal speak such a service is called a Repository. Tracker or Soprano would expose this API in most cases, but on platforms where they are not available the simple Repository implementation would be most handy. This being said, it is currently not a high priority to implement a Repository, there are alternatives ready in Tracker and Soprano. _______________________________________________ gnome-announce-list mailing list gnom ... @gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-announce-list

At about 8.30 pm we will as usual enjoy the rest of the evening in a nearby restaurant. Further information including directions how to get to the location can be found at: http://www.pycologne.de (Sorry, the web-links are in German only.) Best Wishes , Andi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/ The meeting minutes for the September 3rd board meeting is now public. Refer here: http://live.gnome.org/FoundationBoardPublic/Minutes/20090903 Other past board meetings are archived here: http://live.gnome.org/FoundationBoardPublic/Minutes -- text of the latest minutes follows -- Minutes for Meeting of September 3, 2009 Next Meeting September 17, 2009 Attendance * Brian Cameron * Diego Escalante Urrelo * GermáPóaamañ Lucas Rocha * Rosanna Yuen * Srinivasa Ragavan * Stormy Peters * Vincent Untz * Paul Cutler, from GNOME marketing was invited and present Regrets * None Absent * Behdad Esfahbod Minutes Recurring Items * Review past action items. * Approve and make sure that minutes of last meeting were sent/ * Make sure to start up the gobby server for better note taking. * Sysadmin hiring - waiting for funding. * Update foundation.gnome.org website. Old items * None New items * Discussion with Paul Cutler about the status of Friends of GNOME. o How to best present matching funds versus actual contributions on the donations ruler. o Discussion about hiring a system administrator. How much money do we need and how will it be funded? In the past the board agreed that funding should come from the Friends of GNOME program. We need some marketing information to help explain to people the benefits of hiring a system administrator and how this will benefit the community. o ACTION - Paul will provide an overview of hiring a sysadmin and the benefits that has for the overall GNOME community. o ACTION - Stormy to propose on the marketing list a case study on how the improvements we made with bugzilla made a difference to show the way that funding and infrastructure work can improve the GNOME project and to serve as input for the marketing materials for why the Foundation needs to hire a system administrator. * GUADEC Update o Bidding for next year's GUADEC. Need to get the process moving. o Known possible bids: + A Coruñ GNOME Hispano/Igalia people talked to Diego when he was visiting A CoruñThey are willing to send a BID, but they are concerned about community not happy having yet another GUADEC in Spain. + Netherlands + Seattle - Concerns about people having difficulty getting visas, perhaps Vancouver might be an option? + Tampere - They said that they would host during a meeting in Gran Canaria. o ACTION - Srini to talk to Seattle local community about the possibilities of hosting an event and possibly having an event instead in nearby Canada (perhaps Vancouver) where there are less visa concerns. o ACTION - Srini to post a follow-up mail on the GUADEC call for hosts for a chat/meeting with previous organizers (Dave Neary, Paul Cooper, ...). * Budget for sponsorships o The board agreed that it makes sense to provide travel subsidy for people attending the Boston Summit this year if it will enable some significant project or hacking. o There is some money in the budget (ear marked for community travel) that can be used for funding travel subsidies for the Boston Summit and upcoming hackfests. o ACTION - Srini to communicate travel budget for Zeitgeist and Boston Summit to the Travel Committee. * Next advisory board meetings o September is about the GNOME.Asia Summit. It was suggested that we should also discuss the upcoming Boston Summit and hackfests at this meeting. o A good topic for a November/December advisory board meeting would be to discuss the results of these events. o ACTION - Stormy will invite Boston Summit organizers to the next advisory board meeting. o ACTION - Vincent will invite the Zeitgeist hackfest organizers to next advisory board meeting. * Hackfests o Need to organize a usability study, and perhaps use the Zoom 2 notebooks provided by Texas Instruments in that context. o Need to track FISOL invitation. o Need to seek sponsorships. o ACTION - Brian to look into organizing a hackfest on "how to make it easier for more people to do some usability magic". o ACTION - Stormy will send the Texas Instruments Zoom 2 netbooks to the Boston Summit (perhaps to J5 or Rosanna). o ACTION - Diego to keep track of FISOL invitation (Chiapas, Mexico), take over from Germá o ACTION - Vincent to send an email to advisory board list enumerating upcoming events and seeking sponsorships. * IRC meeting with the membership: do one in September? (who, how, what, when) o ACTION - Diego to organize an IRC meeting with the membership this month. * Other business o ACTION - Vincent will put the event box topic on the agenda for next meeting (unless it's completely handled at that time ;-)) Action Items Completed Actions * Diego - Will send an email to the gnome-women mailing list and otherwise try to find people to help organize. This is done, but feedback has been low. * Srini - Put out call for GUADEC hosts. First check with Stormy what questions the bidders should answer so that we can take an informed choice. Draft completed, but still under review. * Srini - Send out an email announcing to the foundation-list who are the officers. * Vincent - Implement an automatic reminder email for meetings. Still waiting for the time of the bi-weekly meetings to be settled before doing this. Old Actions * Behdad - Tasked with scrubbing the GnuCash file so it can be made public. Behdad sent a scrubbed GnuCash file to Rosanna to check, but still pending. * Brian - Get information about what should be in an "Employee Handbook". Still pending. * Brian - Since there was little interest on the foundation-list about getting international general liability and accident insurance, the board decided to not pursue getting such coverage at this time. Brian agreed to follow-up with the lawyers to find out what sort of text we should include in the travel subsidy agreement to ensure that people who receive subsidy understand that the Foundation is not providing coverage. An email was sent to the GNOME legal team, awaiting response. * Diego - Contact the sysadmin team about account creation. Talk with Bruno about who needs accounts. Diego has done a lot work contacting people about this, and is close to completing this task, but is still pending. * Germá- Put together a proposal for how to address board members who become inactive. Still pending. * Germá- Take over J5's previous task to propose new obligations that people who receive travel subsidies should be asked to do in return. * Lucas - Work with Andreas for the donation ruler. Try to put $15k in the ruler in "yellow" ($10k for Canonical, $5k for Google) to indicate that these funds are matching. http://www.gnome.org/friends/drive/ * Lucas - To work on next year's budget and annual report since he is now vice-treasurer. * Lucas & Alberto - Set up a Euro bank account. Alberto is waiting for a reply from a friend who works in a bank to give some initial directions. We'll have a meeting next Monday (August 24). * Rosanna - Research the GNOME Guidestar website and update if necessary. Rosanna sent an update about the status of Guidestar, but work is still needed. Need to find someone to keep the website up-to-date. * Rosanna - to send check to pay 401K setup fees. * Srini - Ping J5 for status about importing Paypal data into GnuCash. J5 was pinged, but no response yet. * Stormy - GNOME Foundation needs a CRM. Dave Neary agreed to set up one, he just needs to be told which one. Stormy will research over the next week. UPDATE: The sys admin team is now looking into this but waiting on a requirements document from the marketing team. * Stormy - Should the GNOME Foundation buy a blanket LWN membership. Very low priority. Will bring it up with Jonathan Corbet when they next meet. * Stormy - Contact advisory board members about raising fees. Waiting on a waterfall financial model (done) and a 2010 budget before sending this out. * Vincent - Will contact advisory board members to see if they will sponsor the Zeitgeist hackfest in Bolzano.
