IRC log of #maemo-meeting for Saturday, 2013-04-20

ZogG_lap1ophey00:00
Woody14619And keep half an eye on e-mail so when I say "shall I start sending tokens" you can all go"yay" and out they go.00:00
ZogG_lap1opthere is meeting here uh?00:00
DocScrutinizer05Woody14619: ((Which is something HFC can in many ways do...)) good point00:00
Woody14619DocScrutinizer05: agreed.  HFC is a self governing group, so states bylaws, with the exception of how it runs elections.  Those must follow the bylaws and the rules they setup for electorate and qualifications...00:01
Woody14619After referendum, those rules are equal, or close enough to phase-lock.  Done.00:02
Woody14619Anway, off to do real work for a bit and/or see if I can't dump an electorate table.00:02
DocScrutinizer05so the first thinh HFC will do is "we declare that we (HFC) are defined as being the members of the usually elected MCC, for now and all times" ?00:03
DocScrutinizer05"so from now on there's no need to do any HFC elections since MCC elections will provide the body of HFC"00:04
Woody14619If you can find people to run and say that. :)00:05
DocScrutinizer05yep00:06
DocScrutinizer05:-)00:06
MentalistTraceurDocScrutinizer05: A better idea is to have them say "those who are members of the MCC will be considered members of the HFC, with their HFC membership terminating when their MCC membership terminates" (or something like that).00:07
MentalistTraceur..in the election rules document they provide to HiFo.00:07
MentalistTraceurThat way it's codified in the election eligibility document for hifo and not just something they declared someday in the past.00:08
MentalistTraceurThat's if they end up going the 'define HFC as MCC' route.00:09
MentalistTraceur(Though I still think the 'end MCC formally, transfer whatever MCC rules you want into HiFo's bylaws' route is much cleaner formally.)00:10
*** setter has joined #maemo-meeting00:12
DocScrutinizer05MentalistTraceur: well, seems we violently agree on that first part. I don't like the idea of MMC committing suicide though00:12
Woody14619DocScrutinizer05, think of it like a caterpiller becoming a butterfly then. ;)00:12
Woody14619.oO(Or in this case, maybe a moth....)00:13
DocScrutinizer05can't get done since MCC rules always been meant to not allow anybody to abolish it, or the rules that apply to it00:13
DocScrutinizer05MCC will stay MCC, it's just taking a new responsibility, which is defined as HFC00:14
Woody14619K, seriously away now, called to the lab. :P  at 5:15 on a Friday... Did I mention I love my manager.   GET THAT LETTER DONE! :)00:14
*** Mentalis1Traceur has joined #maemo-meeting00:15
DocScrutinizer05that letter looks almost fine to me00:15
Mentalis1TraceurSorry, lagged out again. Okay, so the to-do for this week is what? Just tweak the referendum token email draft by woody, and compose drafts for the election announcements, and finally compose a draft letting people know about the route the Board is taking and that we are tolerating it, essentially?00:15
*** MentalistTraceur has quit IRC00:15
DocScrutinizer05we need wiki pages, alike all other votes had00:15
DocScrutinizer05and that letter needs to point to the front page00:16
DocScrutinizer05an URL in that letter needs...00:16

MentalistTraceurHmmm... I just saw mg.pol.lt report an ssl certificate verified by "programmers of vilnius"... The fuck?00:31
MentalistTraceurDoes this seem like a mitm thing to anyone else...?00:32
DocScrutinizer05nope, pov.lt using a self-signed cert00:32
MentalistTraceurOh.00:32
MentalistTraceurJust earlier today it was reporting a cert signed by StartSSL though..?00:33
DocScrutinizer05hmm00:33
DocScrutinizer05strange, maybe they are just about to fix stuff with their certs00:34
DocScrutinizer05I've seen the warning about self-signed cert a few days ago first time00:34
MentalistTraceurHmm. *Shrug* I'm glad to hear that's their own cert, though.00:34
DocScrutinizer05ask mgedmin about it00:35
qwazixMentalistTraceur, are you sure you are visiting the right site?00:35
qwazixI still see startssl00:35
qwazixit's mg.pov.lt not mg.pol.lt00:35
MentalistTraceurThe direct link to today's log of this channel00:36
DocScrutinizer05indeed00:36
MentalistTraceurhttps://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclog/%23maemo-meeting.2013-04-19.log.html00:36
qwazix"verified by StartCom Ltd"00:36
MentalistTraceurStartCom, that's what I meant.00:36
MentalistTraceur(Not StartSSL)00:37
DocScrutinizer05nope, selfsigned here00:37
MentalistTraceurIf they're using an HA cluster, we might be hitting different nodes, with different certs installed.00:37
DocScrutinizer05:nod:00:38
MentalistTraceurIf they're rolling out the self-signed certs overtime everywhere, it would explain why Doc saw it as self-signed a few days ago, I saw it switch just recently, and you (qwazix) still get the StartCom cert.00:39
DocScrutinizer05anyway, I don't get the reason why I would use https on a chanlog anyway00:39
MentalistTraceurThat's just what the url I clicked on pointed to.00:39
DocScrutinizer05it does? strange00:41
DocScrutinizer05clicking the URL in topic gives me a page full of non-SSL links00:41
MentalistTraceurInteresting.00:41
DocScrutinizer05incl Latest (bookmarkable)  ->  http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclog/latest.log.html00:41
MentalistTraceurNot sure how I ended up in https then. Can't say I mind though.00:43
DocScrutinizer05are you sure you're using the url from /topic? http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclog/00:43
MentalistTraceurGave me a little scare with the cert thing, but that got sorted fast.00:43
MentalistTraceurI did initially, yes.00:43
DocScrutinizer05hmm00:43
DocScrutinizer05weird00:43
DocScrutinizer05so quite obviously the sysop there is fiddling with certs and rewrites or forwards00:44
DocScrutinizer05the site is marius gedminas' aka mgedmin00:53

*** merlin1991 has quit IRC00:55
MentalistTraceur*Nod* Yep yep. Okay, I have to sign out. If I can, I'll write up all of the necessary email/announce drafts within the next 24 or so hours. I'm pretty sure I won't have time for any of the wiki pages though. If I don't get to it in 24 hours though, it's best to assume I won't get to it (at least for the referendum token email, which needs to go out very soon, and someone else is ...00:55
MentalistTraceur... welcome to do any tweaks/edits to the draft and if the rest of you approve it, the tokens can be sent even if I don't have the time, obviously.00:55

DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: sorry, I don't know :-) No windows here (really!), but web gateway seems really nice, for a web gateway anyway19:28
DocScrutinizer05I seem to recall mIRC has some features you MUST NOT use, if you want to stay online (instead of get banned)19:29
DocScrutinizer05stuff like ascii graphics?19:30
DocScrutinizer05I might be wrong though19:30
keriolike COLORS!19:30
Win7Macthoght so... ;) web gateway will do it perfectly fine for the moment. Just wanted to say hi and BIG THANKS to woody, council, techstaff and moderators!19:32
DocScrutinizer05thanks for thanks! :-)19:32
Win7Mac...and encourage you to keep on! From yesterdays log, you were pretty much frustrated after the BoD-meeting19:34
DocScrutinizer05apropos techstaff - www annoys me19:34
DocScrutinizer05a week ago I patched nagios monitoring to send alarm on 6% free disk instead of 10%. Guess what, today I got alarm "less than 6% free disk space"19:35
Win7MacQuestions like "why even bother any more" came up and that made me sad...19:35
DocScrutinizer05well, most of us are really wasted19:36
Win7MacBut Woody showed a way that seems (not the most eficient but) at least ok. There's hope!19:38
DocScrutinizer05you can say whatever you want about Rob, there's one thing he's really brilliant: his efficiency on communication battles is awesome, he creates hours of worries and headache and drafting answers for possibly dozens of communication peers, by a single mail that probably costs him less than 10 minutes19:39
DocScrutinizer05but yes, I think woody handled the whole situation as good as feasible, and we'll try to follow this path (at least I feel like that, ~ 60% of the time i think about it. The remaining 40% are filled with weird ideas how to nuke random cities, or hire russian hitman, or kill the internet at large, etc ;-P)19:44
kerioreally, a hitman won't cost much19:44
keriowe can just get some donations19:44
Win7MacYeah, at times it was so annoying to hear him talk... I just wonder why there were no more users attending... These are cruicial things for everybody in the community :(19:45
DocScrutinizer05that's just one of the points that led to the rant you quoted19:45
DocScrutinizer05why bother when nobody else does?19:45
DocScrutinizer05after all *we* (those who constantly struggle for a solution of all this mess) all have our "infra" settled and we'd not need *anything* of all the stuff we fight for19:47
Win7MacWell, I came here just for that!19:47
DocScrutinizer05so many thanks for that! :-D19:47
DocScrutinizer05let me post a quote of my own words of yesterday, since I found a rather enlightening "old" post19:51
DocScrutinizer05[2013-04-20 01:20:03] <DocScrutinizer05> http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1256324&postcount=11  >>I'm not sure if we should try to proceed under the name of maemo in any event since the reputation among the general public (not the informed and more knowledgeable community here) is that it is an old, obsolete and outdated software<<19:52
DocScrutinizer05[2013-04-20 01:20:36] <DocScrutinizer05> who gives a shit about general public?19:52
DocScrutinizer05Rob always thought (and obviously still thinks) of maemo as a product to push into market19:53
keriowhat the fucking fuck19:53
DocScrutinizer05which it most obviously isn't19:53
Win7MacIn near future, I see you amongst other honorable members being board and get the right things done. So everybody now involved will have best chances to do so. You're doing the right thing, you will succeed!19:56
Win7MacAnd don't give up maemo-name, it's tradition at its best!19:57
DocScrutinizer05In Rob's world HiFo's primary mission is to go beyond maemo and even meego, and push the whole thing to new grounds. He doesn't realize that this never been the responsibility of HiFo at all, and also won't ever happen the way he hopes for19:57
DocScrutinizer05if maemo/meego will have a successor eventually, then this will happen like "we're Jolla and here's sailfish" - no company will "buy" or adopt maemo and beam it into year 201519:59
keriothank god for that, 2015 sucks20:00
Win7MacThat was Robs' point why MCC cannot be HFC...20:01
Win7MacBut from HiFo abou page: "The Hildon Foundation, founded in September 2012, is a nonprofit organization elected by the Maemo Community to handle community oversight and infrastructure."20:03
Win7MacNo word about anything beyond it...20:03
Win7MacAlso, Woody and Jim are missing on that page...20:03
DocScrutinizer05btw this also is BS - there IS NO SUCH THING as "community oversight", I'd slap the face of anybody apponting himself for my oversight20:04
Win7Mac<kerio> is that sarcasm or your just disturbing for fun?20:05
DocScrutinizer05mild sarcasm20:05
kerionot quite20:06
kerioi'm dead serious20:06
kerioOSes for mobile platforms have become shit20:06
DocScrutinizer05(btw a hint: highlighting should be used like "nick: hello" or "nick, hello" [i.e. with a ":" or "," and no "<" and ">" around it)20:06
kerioyeah, i spent some time trying to figure out when i said that20:07
DocScrutinizer05:nod:20:07
DocScrutinizer05looks like a quote20:07
Win7Mac:nod: ok, thanks!20:08
DocScrutinizer05full ack for shitty OSes nowadays20:08
Win7MacJust gifted an N9 to friend and he's so happy (since 2 days)...20:10
DocScrutinizer05really *all* of Rob's actions and (almost all) statements make perfect sense, when you apply this product-to-market focused view20:22
DocScrutinizer05just... this view is moot20:22
Win7Mac"HiFo about page: elected by the Maemo Community to handle community infrastructure" - so it's clear it's all about *maemo*community*. Can 2/3 BoD majority take action if Rob does not follow?20:22
DocScrutinizer05wellm that HiFo about page been made up by somebody in BoD, in a 15min effort20:23
Win7Macyeah, it's not refference...20:24
DocScrutinizer05Rob is following the bylaws as he reads them20:24
DocScrutinizer05and obviously those bylaws been ambiguous from very beginning, Rob always prrofread them with a product centric view in mind, while everybody else read them with a community centric view20:25
DocScrutinizer05the clash never became obvious, until lately20:26
Win7MacBut he agreed on merging councils: "http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1337567#post1337567: Yes, but the two councils is for these elections only."20:27
DocScrutinizer05>> transfer of the maemo community << W*T*F?? are *you* going to let somebody transfer you anywhere? I won't agree on any transfer of myself, and I for sure am part of "the maemo community"20:29
qwazix[2013-04-20 01:20:36] <DocScrutinizer05> who gives a shit about general public?20:32
qwazix+2,147,483,64720:32
Win7MacWhat's wrong with transfer? call it transform, merging, convert, alter, whatever, important is the outcome.20:34
qwazixwe are *not* selling anything so there's no way we care if maemo is thought of an obsolete software, period.20:34
qwazix"we are the maemo community but we don't want to name the community after maemo because other people think maemo is crap"20:35
qwazixhow stupid is that? Let's name it iOS community because iOS is cooler.20:36
qwazixbtw Win7Mac thanks for support20:36
Win7Macshure20:40
Win7MacIsn't it too late to leave HiFo (when Nokia contract finally is effective) to have acces to NOK/maemo/meego assets? Isn't it what it's mainly about?20:52
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: the whole contract is about 3 things: 1) Nokia transfers the DOMAIN maemo.org to HiFo, 2) Nokia allows HiFo to redistribute (some of) the maemo closed blobs that are (C) Nokia [we however will NOT see the sourcecode of those blobs ever], and 3) Nokia donates some hw (the servers) to HiFo, to facilitate further running of maemo services like repository.maemo.org, tmo, a.s.o20:59
DocScrutinizer05that's it20:59
DocScrutinizer05no meego assets21:00
DocScrutinizer05no other assets of any form21:00
Win7MacThen what is all that NOK-contract-hokus-pokus all about?21:01
Win7MacDid you hear the meeting?21:01
DocScrutinizer05and particularly not ownership to any community transferred from Nokia to HiFo since neither Nokia nor HiFo *can* own a community - heck we're not in the middle age with peonage21:01
Win7MacNOK-contract-hokus-pokus FROM ROB21:02
DocScrutinizer05his take on maemo is product centric, he thinks it's a package of intelectual property plus a community owned and ruled by Nokia21:03
Win7Mac"a package of intelectual property plus a community owned and ruled by Nokia" true, isn't it?21:05
Win7Macfor the past , at least...21:05
DocScrutinizer05there IS NOT friggin intellectual property of any kind in maemo, except for some closed blob abominations everybody wish wheren't there21:05
DocScrutinizer05and NOBODY EVER OWNS a community21:06
DocScrutinizer05I'm not owned by anybody21:06
DocScrutinizer05maybe you prefer to be owned by Nokia, I dunno21:06
Win7Mac"I'm not owned by anybody" - I believe that, esp. from you. But no, I'd rather not be owned...21:07
DocScrutinizer05cheery did a good job in that21:07
DocScrutinizer05cherry even21:07
qwazixhehe21:08
DocScrutinizer05however cherry stolen data never been a part of the contract between Nokia and HiFo either21:08
qwazixI always wondered if cherry was chosen by the dev as a name as a statement21:09
qwazixfor apple like behavior in an open product...21:09
DocScrutinizer05in some way for sure21:09
DocScrutinizer05Nokia devs have a record for awesome names, look at "fiasco"21:09
DocScrutinizer05"NOLO"21:10
Win7MacI have no clue about those things, don't even try to explain...21:10
DocScrutinizer05~cherry21:10
DocScrutinizer05~mynokia21:11
DocScrutinizer05dafaq21:11
DocScrutinizer05~uselss21:11
qwazixno infobot21:11
DocScrutinizer05oooh21:11
DocScrutinizer05sure, sorry21:11
Win7Mac;)21:12
qwazixWin7Mac, anyway cherry was that spyware Nokia included in PR1.2 who sent an unsolicited sms first time you turned your phone on21:12
qwazixbtw DocScrutinizer05 we might want to rebake a CSSU fiasco image only for this reason21:12
qwazixI always forget that crap after reflash and I assume most of the people.21:13
DocScrutinizer05[2013-04-20 20:12:53] <infobot> methinks mynokia is a digital robbery courtesy Nokia, or http://wiki.maemo.org/PR1.2_compulsory_My_Nokia_subscription, or https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1036621:13
povbotBug 10366: MyNokia SMS sent after update without any action from the user21:13
kerioqwazix: we might as well add cssu-stable to that21:13
qwazixkerio, that's what I just said21:13
DocScrutinizer05qwazix: +1000 for nuking mynokia shit in CSSU21:14
qwazixof course stable rather than testing is the obvious choice21:14
DocScrutinizer05after we almost got permission to "ship nokia (C) blobs" we could actually finally and legally bake our own (cherry-free) fiasco21:15
DocScrutinizer05(and honestly cssu already got that permission since ages)21:16
DocScrutinizer05and who cares anymore anyway21:16
DocScrutinizer05;-)21:16
Win7Macyou talking harmattan?21:16
qwazixno, fremantle21:16
DocScrutinizer05nope, fremantle21:16
Win7Macthe same never will happen to harmattan after 2015, right?21:17
DocScrutinizer05we should move this convo to #maemo anyway21:17
qwazixespecially since stolen data nowadays probably goes directly to Microsoft, that's a bigger imperative21:17
qwazixWin7Mac, people are free to start a Harmattan CSSU21:18
qwazixand I am sure that whatever council/tech team is active when this happens will be very helpful/inclusive21:19
qwazix(though I don't see anybody starting such a project)21:21
qwazixMaybe due to the closed UI, or the less versatility of harmattan, most people prefer to improve fremantle. (Including me, despite that I am a daily harmattan user)21:22
Win7MacOk guys, many thanks and sorry for derailing, I need to leave soon. This was quite interesting and really nice talking to you. Anyway, BIG CHEERS TO ALL OF YOU! Keep on keepin' on...! See you soon.21:30
PaliDocScrutinizer05, now when we have 0xffff tool for generating full fiasco image, it is possible21:32
