chem|stseems we are already of the boat... looking at #jollamobile's topic - Community  offerings: http://forum.jollausers.com , http://elinux.org/Jolla21:53
Win7MacHey folks, I changed the mission statement on http://hildonfoundation.org/21:55
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: great21:57
Win7Macold version (community oversight...) is still in the bylaws. To change that too, we need to agree on a meeting I guess21:57
DocScrutinizer05chem|st: then forget about them, eh?21:57
DocScrutinizer05Win7Mac: iirc changing bylaws is terribly hard21:57
*** sixwheeledbeast has quit IRC21:58
Win7Mac"The Bylaws of the Foundation may only be21:59
Win7Macchanged, altered, suspended or repealed with three fourths (3/4) majority of the Board and two thirds21:59
Win7Mac(2/3) majority of electorate members."21:59
chem|stWin7Mac: two words: signed emails21:59
chem|stthe neat thing we agreed on in a recorded meeting22:00
Win7Macdidn't see my mail?22:00
chem|stor did I misunderstand22:00
chem|stWin7Mac: you are calling for meetings but we agreed on signed emails are ok for public votes22:01
Win7Macah, right, almost forgot22:01
chem|stdon't know if it is the second or even third time you are asking for a meeting now^^22:02
*** freemangordon has joined #maemo-meeting22:02
*** jyrjyr has quit IRC22:02
chem|stjust keep in mind that it is very hard and barely needed22:02
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: all community efforts I have seen so far were so unprofessional I'd rather eat old fish22:03
chem|stthe forums look tidy for now... let 10k people hit it and we will see - having 6k active users and like 1000 posts a day hit me pretty hard at least22:04
chem|stcleaning a thread with 30+ pages took me some time last year22:05
*** jyrjyr has joined #maemo-meeting22:06
DocScrutinizer05chem|st: yes - but I miss the context22:06
DocScrutinizer05did I suggest community effort?22:07
Win7Macchem|st, ok, will draft a mail to change mission statement in bylaws. Anything else we want to change there?22:07
DocScrutinizer05you'll need a referendum for that22:07
DocScrutinizer05a refrendum with a 2/3 majority afaik22:08
Win7Macwhat now, signed mails or a referendum?22:08
DocScrutinizer05o.O22:08
DocScrutinizer05read your own post22:08
DocScrutinizer05>>**and** two thirds (2/3) majority of electorate members.<<22:09
Win7Macright, electorate members == community... oh my...22:09
DocScrutinizer05which is a pretty ambiguous phrasing, which Rob probably had interpreted as "2/3 of 86k garage users"22:09
Win7Macok, forget about it22:10
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: we need 3/4th of board to have a referendum which is getting signed mails by the board on a proposal and shoot it as a referendum to the community for voting22:10
chem|stright?22:10
Win7Macor we change exactly that phrase by referendum so we are free to make change easier22:11
chem|stthat maybe to... a ballot majority (is that phrase right?)22:11
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: what I mean is all attempts by non Jolla groups creating Jolla centered websites or starting facebook groups or alike are rather poor compared to maemo.org so far - give it a month and look again if it is still poor and all discussion is at tmo anyways they will come and ask22:14
chem|stif we want to become jolla's community eagerly I have a pretty good idea for that22:14
Win7Mactell us, I think we should try22:15
chem|st2 contests - video contest on youtube and app contest - each winner gets a free jolla as soon as available22:16
Win7Mac...gets a free jolla... sponsored by?22:16
DocScrutinizer05chem|st: right, I guess22:16
chem|stHiFo or an honourable donor22:17
DocScrutinizer05chem|st: how about "a referendum by electorate, with 2/3 majority"22:17
Win7Macthe HiFo donations we collected so far were for our infra22:18
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: that is in terms still 2/3 of the electorate22:18
chem|stWin7Mac: give me some time and I buy two for fsck sake22:19
chem|stI was thinking about giving thomas swindell one if he ports Columbus22:19
DocScrutinizer05chem|st: 2/3 of the *voting* electorate22:19
chem|st1/2 of the ballot == ballot majority22:20
chem|stthat is why I asked if the phrase is right22:21
DocScrutinizer05yes, but this defines 2/3 majority, for a reason22:21
Win7Macat least we'd need a majority within board to take donations for that purpose IMHO22:21
chem|stwell yeah make it 2/3 of the ballot22:21
chem|stWin7Mac: majority in council as well22:21
Win7Macok, no problem22:22
Win7Macbut it's 2/3 of the valid votes, not the whole ballot22:22
DocScrutinizer05yes22:22
Win7Macright?22:22
*** sixwheeledbeast has joined #maemo-meeting22:22
DocScrutinizer05a referendum done by electorate that needs 2/3 majority22:23
DocScrutinizer05the electorate is defined in similar way to that of council7board elections22:23
Win7Macright22:24
chem|styou cannot dismiss invalid votes from a ballot to reduce the ballot size to get your 2/3rds22:24
chem|stcan you?22:24
DocScrutinizer05errwut?22:24
chem|stsounds strange22:24
chem|stballot is the record of all votes with invalids afaik22:25
DocScrutinizer05I don't see the issue. What's unclear in a referendum that needs 2/3 majority to pass?22:25
chem|stsure, fine with that22:26
DocScrutinizer052/3 of all valid votes have to be YUP22:26
DocScrutinizer05the elctrorate for such referendum is identical to the usual electorate for any other vote or referendum22:26
Win7Macagreed22:27
Win7Macand chem|st, I really hope you're not angry about my last post in the council candidates thread?!22:27
DocScrutinizer05mor generally: rules for a referendum apply22:27
DocScrutinizer05those are in place since beginning22:28
DocScrutinizer05only difference: 2/322:28
DocScrutinizer05instead of simple majority22:28
DocScrutinizer05btw I think actually not only 3/4 of board but also of HFC should be necessary22:31
DocScrutinizer05after all the bylaws apply and have impact to HFC (and now MCC) as well22:32
DocScrutinizer05but obviously that#s not what's written in the bylaws22:32
DocScrutinizer05might need a change22:33
DocScrutinizer05while we are at changing/fixing bylaws22:33
*** ZogG_laptop has quit IRC22:33
chem|stWin7Mac: yeah nice post... asking for a shitstorm and hoping I am not angry....22:34
Win7Maci really do hope, but it HAD to be said, I'm afraid22:34
*** ZogG_laptop has joined #maemo-meeting22:34
DocScrutinizer05similar concerns been raised against me. Take it easy22:35
DocScrutinizer05and I think the concerns themselves are valid, we shouldn't do too much position-aggregation22:36
chem|stnevermind... 90% of the meetings I was AWOL were not council topic and friday meetings in mandatory with nothing to talk about but techstaff things... I was there once or twice just watching btw22:37
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: +1 on the aggregation22:37
DocScrutinizer05council chair is traditionally meant to moderate council meetings22:37
DocScrutinizer05not to "watch"22:38
chem|stI tried to get Jolla/Sailfish stuff talked once or twice and got pulled off my chair for it...22:38
DocScrutinizer05well, jolla/sailfish actually is hardly a topic for council meetings, as is techstaff talk22:38
Win7Macyour efforts regarding integrating Jolla are very well acknowledged!22:39
Win7Macat leasst from my side22:39
chem|styeah I know, I think it was twice I asked for topics and got nothing council relevant... I understand that when most of the guys in meeting channel are techstaff that meeting times are a good point to have all around but I felt abused some times22:39
*** Pali has joined #maemo-meeting22:39
DocScrutinizer05sorry for that, you should holler22:40
Win7Macsorry, abused?22:40
chem|stI left several times as the actual council meeting time was hijacked for techstaff issues22:40
DocScrutinizer05you're chair22:40
DocScrutinizer05up to you22:40
chem|stwhat should I do... stop you from discussing important matters... that would be stupid22:40
chem|stseriously22:40
DocScrutinizer05if you want a particular agenda on council meeting, publish it upfront and enforce it22:41
chem|stI agree that I missed the election timeframe and gladly qwazix jumped in, but as soon as I was aware I did my job, didn't I?22:41
DocScrutinizer05yes22:41
DocScrutinizer05from my side, a no-issue22:42
DocScrutinizer05I'm bussy22:42
DocScrutinizer05need to hunt food22:42
chem|stcircumstances prevented me to post anymore on sunday apologies for a broke down car...22:42
DocScrutinizer05first time this week22:42
DocScrutinizer05bbl22:43
chem|stWin7Mac: I'm explaining to you... as doc already knew22:43
Win7Macchem|st, no accusations, I know you're a good guy and doing your best22:43
chem|stWin7Mac: and without me it was 4 and no election right? looking at this therm you would actually want the top 3 of your list voted in...22:44
Win7MacI thought 4 was min. for elections to be held22:45
DocScrutinizer054=election of 3, 5=election of 322:45
chem|stah ok...22:45
chem|stwell better 5 to vote from...22:45
chem|styeah just reread...22:46
DocScrutinizer05I have to say i#m happy about a 3 nose council. Generally seems to be more efficient22:47
DocScrutinizer05than 522:48
DocScrutinizer05feels like 1/2^3 vs 1/2^522:50
DocScrutinizer05sometimes even N! instead of 2^N22:51
Win7Mac3 might be more efficient than 5, but only if all are present. If only 2 are missing, you're screwed with a council of 3...22:54
chem|stWin7Mac: missing depends on the point of view... you are asking way to much for meetings for simple "send a mail" topics - we are in a multi-continent community...22:58
Win7Maccouncil decides by mail too?22:59
chem|stit's not like the world ends if you get an answer 24h after asked is it?22:59
Win7Macnope22:59
chem|stno council doesn't as it was not that precious yet23:00
Win7Macif only I would get answers from you...23:00
Win7Macupon HiFo-mails23:00
chem|stbut actually a good idea to implement for the future...23:00
chem|styou really need a "yup" mail after others have said the rest I'd say?23:01
Win7Maci can't smell your opinion23:01
Win7Macand after all, everybodys opinion should be heard23:02
chem|stI read all mails so far but after reading the whole thread I had nothing to add23:02
chem|stmost of the stuff was phrasing and that goes to our natives please23:02
Win7Macthen why not just answer "go ahead" or something? - that's what i ask for when writing a mail23:03
chem|stI do not have a position in HiFo board and am actually glad about that^^23:03
chem|stwill do in the future, sure23:03
Woody14619A non-reply though can indicate you're ok with it, or that you haven't read it, or it hit a spam filter... or...23:03
Win7Macyou are board, that's enough to be heard23:04
chem|stwell I answered the last thread didn't I23:04
Win7MacHi Woody o/23:04
Woody14619You did, and it was appreciated. :)23:04
Woody14619o/23:05
chem|stfor the future recognize it as read and nothing to add, at least after 48h of working days23:05
Win7Macthat's ok, if I only knew you were taking this for granted23:05
Win7Mac;)23:06
chem|stI read them all but your banking issues was nothing I could help with... once I was drunk and was pretty close to sending an email with "those bloody bankster assholes"23:06
DocScrutinizer05for council we didn't need mails so far, we agreed on proper procedure ad hoc23:06
Woody14619:)  I was sober and almost wrote that... ;)23:06
Win7Macwell, write right away if you feel so23:06
chem|stDocScrutinizer05: worked pretty well so far23:07
chem|sthehe23:07
chem|st:)23:07
chem|stdid I actually hit send?23:07
Woody14619Alas for board, that "+1" is needed, for legal reasons if nothing else. ;)23:07
chem|stwell sure, I will give you those in the future23:08
Woody14619That's one thing I like about forums vs e-mail.  You can just hit "+1" or "like" or "thanks" and you know it's been read.23:08
Win7Macchem|st, promise publicly to visit fridays meetings regularly and I might vote for you again...23:08
DocScrutinizer05well, I hope every council member has a brain to decide if a decision needs unanimous agreement or simple majority nodoff or can be done without further "voting" and can get discussed or reverted later23:08
DocScrutinizer05Woody14619: +1 ;-D23:09
Win7Macbut leaves much room for interpretation, how important one thing is23:10
Woody14619For Council, that's usually a clearer path... Technically, that "+1" for board should also require to be PGP-signed as well... :P  But that just the pseudo-lawyer side of me doing CYA.23:10
chem|stI promise to get rid of friday meetings... the timeframe is most of the time sitting in a car at 140km/h or having dinner... the latter more than once reading channel and cooking at the same time23:10
DocScrutinizer05I asked you to suggest a better date23:11
DocScrutinizer05several times23:11
Woody14619Times are totally adjustable IMHO.  Only reason Fridays @ 1800UTC clicked was because of those involed when I started it. OF which, 0 are left on council.23:12
chem|stand I said any but weekends didn't I?23:12
DocScrutinizer05actually you said nothing i could recall to have seen23:12
Win7Macanyway, guys, set up a doodle poll...23:13
chem|stwell nevermind... two to go wher I am available at 0-1... at least I tell that ahead now^^23:13
chem|stWin7Mac: you do not need a doodle to get a weekly timeframe of 3 guys...23:13
* Woody14619 starts implementing e-mail receipt replies in modest....23:13
Woody14619Or if you do, something is terribly wrong...23:14
DocScrutinizer05indeed23:14
chem|stWoody14619: when you are at it could you add gnupg please^^23:14
Woody14619.oO(JJ suggested doodle when he, Rob and I were the only 3...)23:14
DocScrutinizer05haha23:14
chem|styeah Win7Mac likes to call for meetings and doodle^^23:14
Win7Macok, nvm, but find a solution ;)23:15
Woody14619Yeah.. I'll do that too... in my copious amount of free time. ;)23:15
Woody14619Though we do need a meeting sooner than later... Lots of topics to discuss, even if it's just on IRC.23:15
DocScrutinizer05I announce next council meeting is Thursday instead Friday (oops, is Thurday also weekend now? ;-P )23:16
Woody14619I just lack time to put them all down right now. :P23:16
Woody14619speaking of.. need to get back to work. :P23:16
Woody14619o/23:16
chem|styeah thursday throughout monday... at least when bitcoin raises another $1000 I can extend my weekends that way^^23:17
DocScrutinizer05Woody14619: cya23:17
chem|stbb23:17
Win7Macbtw, doodle worked for our last meeting, wasn't it?23:18
DocScrutinizer05what became of my suggestion to ... ah nevermind23:19
Win7Mac*didn't it23:19
Win7Macwhat?23:19
Win7MacDocScrutinizer05, what?23:20
DocScrutinizer05not my topic23:20
Win7Macthursday?23:20
Win7Macbylaws?23:21
Win7Macput it straight and I send a mail right away23:21
*** xes has joined #maemo-meeting23:21
DocScrutinizer05lemme make a new suggestion: HiFo BoD should hire err buy a satellite for worldwide video conferences, any time anywhere23:22
Win7Macprobably we could share a todo list (within Hifo, within council, or cross-linked)?23:23
Win7Mac*which survives change of persons23:24
DocScrutinizer05actually a nice idea23:24
DocScrutinizer05particularly since we got no more meeting minutes since we got no more meetings23:25
Win7Maca new blade? - what was the suggestion you ... ah nevermind23:25
Win7Macthat'll hopefully change with the new concil23:26
DocScrutinizer05we have no more manpower to install a new blade. That train passed by23:26
Win7Macoops23:26
Win7Macbut warfare's still in place?23:27
DocScrutinizer05we particularly have no usecase and no manpower to do service for such a blade23:27
Win7Macah ok23:27
Win7Macno usecase? - thought it was you who wanted it23:28
Win7Macbut nvm, good if we don't need it23:28
qwazixquarreling without me? :P23:28
qwazixanyway, thursdays is better for me too23:29
DocScrutinizer05yay23:29
Win7MacHA! too late you are... suspicious... ;)23:29
Win7MacHi qwazix! o/ ;)23:29
qwazixhi Win7Mac23:29
DocScrutinizer05instead of a new blade, HiFo could help me out and manage the 2 crates of beer promised to IPHH (plus the one that deserves to warfare)23:31
DocScrutinizer05or make that 4, 2 for next year already23:31
Win7Macyou're lucky, I'm in Hamburg too23:31
DocScrutinizer05\o/23:32
Win7Macis that all? ;)23:32
DocScrutinizer05quite23:32
Win7Machonestly, I already asked warfare what they'd need to extend the contract, but got no answer so far23:33
Win7Macbeen 12 days already23:34
Woody14619Likely just another payment, per the contract already in place.  It has an extension clause built in that I put there intentionally hoping they would see fit to just use to keep going as long as we are both good on it.23:34
Woody14619I'm not sure how often warfare goes there or has contact.  Even back then it was weekly at most.23:35
Win7Macah, ok. he said he'd need to ask a collegue23:35
qwazixnight o/23:43
Win7Machello and goodby23:43
Win7Macgoodbye23:43
chem|stjollausers welcome email starts "Thank you for registering at Jolla & Sailfish OS Forum."23:45
Win7MacWoody14619, do you have IPHH's bank details to do the payment and you know when the payment is due?23:46
Woody14619I do not.  Cosimo handled that last time, just before he left.  As I recall he sent them the money from his own account, which was being used to collect funds in via PayPal at the time (before we had a bank account and all that mess setting up for HiFo).23:53
Woody14619Depending, it may be simpler to do something like that again, if in-country payments are cheaper.  And we can transfer the funds before or after the payment to the helper doing it via PayPal or what not.23:54
Win7Macthanks, ok I'll ask warfare about it, referring to here23:55
Woody14619Paying direct would incur two fees, one for Euro conversion and one for wire transfer. :P  We have till March/April timeframe from where I see it anyway... They started allowing us to host, but the contract wasn't in place until March-ish.  So, technically we have time.23:56
Woody14619Just wanted it started so we didn't lose track of it...23:56
Woody14619Rather pay a bill early than miss it and lose out.23:56
Win7Macright, and thanks for doing so. But not sure if I got you right, whats the difference between paying them directly and refunding me later, we're both in GER...23:58
