IRC log of #maemo-meeting for Wednesday, 2014-07-23

chem|stjuiceme: crossing lines is a no go in a community, I had to revoke his mod rights on tmo as he gave infractions outside his territory (I granted him in good faith)00:00
RzRwe know that hifo and mc need more coop00:00
chem|stRzR: you know what an eV is?00:00
RzRyes i read about it lately00:01
chem|stok00:01
RzRdonno details of german laws00:01
juicemeyes, actually I do not know how functional HiFo is currently. Win7Mac seems to be only one giving any communication.00:01
chem|stone of the ideas behind the move from US foundation to the eV is to give a proper legal association with accounted membership and legal boundries so noone can run off with anything without facing jailtime.00:02
juicemeso my hope is that the new setup of Maemo e.V. could be more open and functional00:02
chem|stjuiceme: I am board member...00:02
juicemeah yes, you too. forgot about your role there :)00:03
peterleinchen_chem>st, who else? beside win7mac oc00:03
juicemewoody was in, but he stepped down00:03
chem|stwell win and me did setup the eV part, thanks to doc we lost our treasurer and a dedicated community member too (wasn't the first and won't be the last)00:04
juicemenone to replace him, afaik00:04
RzRwhat a nightmare00:04
chem|stthanks to another doc vs woody war he closes the bankaccount this week00:04
chem|stas neither one of the US guys signed for the account he wants to get rid of the liability with doc.00:05
juicemebut the good thing is there's not that much assets, some thousand US$ or so00:05
peterleinchen_but that's all hifo has, or?00:06
juicemethese things get complicated for various reasons even as everybody wants best for the community...00:06
RzRso is mc supposed to help on it and how ?00:06
chem|stjuiceme: we just payed the bills... we need to get the funds accessible as soon as possible as there are some more bills to come up...00:07
chem|stRzR: not really00:07
RzRin the end it will destroy it all .. if those problems are not solved00:07
chem|stleash-up on doc, or the last man standing is doc00:07
RzRwell since this conversation is a meeting00:08
RzRand its logged00:08
chem|stI was pretty close to stop the registration of the eV, cooled down... one day after I handed in the paperwork I was so fed up again...00:08
RzRits unfair to talk about doc once he left00:08
juicemeRzR, +100:09
RzRof course he could have stayed but he said he was sick00:09
RzRso lets put this on hold and may set an other meeting00:09
chem|stRzR: he is reading the logs, would not be the first time he joins up again and flames about the things just said...00:09
chem|stkk I am out00:10
RzRwith a more appropiate protocol00:10
RzRu can remain00:10
RzRsince we wanted to talk about nokia online resources00:11
RzRmay we shift to next topic00:11
juicemeyes, please tell us how Council can help there?00:11
RzRor may someone want to add something else00:12
xesi hope for the future that things could be always considered in a more moderated manner. Every contrast between people/members/staff could make the situation even more critical. We are all humans and while everyone contributes for the time and resources he has, then, everyone has some limit. Before judge anyone we must consider both of them.00:13
juicemexes, +100:14
RzRindeed00:14
peterleinchen_yes! but what the he h...00:14
peterleinchen_have those people?00:15
peterleinchen_xes: you are absolutely right.00:15
RzRi wont judge anyone since i am new i will try to remain neutral .. watch for me if i do00:15
RzRnow to follow the topics00:16
RzRharmattandev is offline00:17
peterleinchen_http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Community_Council/Council_Q2_2014/Agenda00:17
peterleinchen_ah okay harmattan!00:17
RzRi know some backups are done in various place00:17
peterleinchen_yes that is something we need chemist for00:17
peterleinchen_s/chemist/HiFo/ e.V./00:18
RzRsome one at nokia care twitter team told he will fwd this issue internally00:18
peterleinchen_afaik meego has been xferred to MS00:18
RzRmeego is and not maemo ?00:19
juicemepeterleinchen_, that so?00:19
RzRi would be surprised00:19
peterleinchen_I am not sure00:19
peterleinchen_just what I got from the public announcements00:19
juicemeI'd rather say it was transferred _nowhere_ , just scrapped clean out00:19
peterleinchen_that would be good00:19
peterleinchen_but WHO to ask ?00:20
RzRand they could be some intel bits into meego trade marks00:20
juicemeI know for a fact that the whole development chain was destroyed00:20
RzRdoes this change a lot for us ?00:20
peterleinchen_for sure we will never ever get the right to host the firmware!00:20
RzRimages yes00:20
juicemeservers decommissioned and powered off, test equipment sold, people fired00:20
RzRbut packages should not be a problem00:21
juicemethere might exist source files on some svn repository but there's no-one left to know what those are ;(00:21
RzRwe allready have most of them in source form00:21
RzRthe src from nokia floss dvd00:22
peterleinchen_ /s/we/rZr/ ;)00:22
juicemeRzR, yes those exist, but the proprietary parts are lost00:22
peterleinchen_okay I also have a DVD00:22
RzRi am not the only one00:22
RzRdvd is hosted even on sf.net00:23
RzRi dont have it00:23
peterleinchen_but what can we integrate to maemo atall00:23
RzRdvd could be possible00:23
peterleinchen_hosting the DVD should not be problem, but what to do  with it00:24
juicemefor example, there's this bug of SMS exteded character handling, I know where it is but it cannot be fixed as we are missing sources for one library :(00:24
RzRbut i was talking about sdk repo00:24
RzRthere are a few binaries00:24
RzR3d blobs etc00:24
RzRthen listing those resources is the 1st action00:25
RzRand i am sure hifo already did that00:25
peterleinchen_hifo??00:26
RzRnegotiation of nokia resources00:26
RzRwell i dont know the details just read this on irc00:27
RzRmaybe from doc00:27
peterleinchen_chem|st: reply00:27
chem|st?00:29
peterleinchen_about "negotiation of nokia resources" by hifo with nokia regarding harmattan00:29
RzRare there effort to get the rights to host copy of files that used to be on nokia public servers ?00:30
chem|stno idea, meego.com was shutdown and noone cared00:30
juicemepeterleinchen_, I don't think harmattan was discussed00:30
RzRharmattan was never on meego.com00:31
RzRafaik00:31
chem|stjuiceme: we asked for flasher and binaries of all devices00:31
peterleinchen_rZr is talking about harmattan-dev.com, right?00:31
RzRfirmwares00:31
juicemeRzR, if hosting rights for Maemo are out, I'd imagine Harmattan is even farther out00:31
juicemechem|st, okay00:31
RzRyes harnattan-dev.nokia.com00:31
chem|stRzR: firmwares are still available on some nokia ftp00:32
RzRu asked about the image fw00:32
RzRi am talking about scratchbox repo00:32
RzRto create apps00:32
chem|stask doc about scratchbox00:32
RzRok00:33
chem|stthe nokia binaries went offline with the nokia repo00:33
RzRsbox is back online00:33
peterleinchen_Yes, this (harmattan-dev() is something we would like to have again, not the FWs and not the flasher (we wont get it)00:33
RzRusure maemo and harmattan went offline at the same time00:33
peterleinchen_no they did not afair00:34
RzRso is there anyone to bother to be granted to host them ?00:35
xesone sidenote: please remember that our infra is not unlimited and we have just a few percents of unused resources00:35
juicemehey, one thing comes to my mind; is there some profound difference between scratchbox-for-harmattan and scratchbox-for-fremantle, as I only ever used harmattan...?00:35
RzRwe could share some torrent or whatever that can help preservation00:36
peterleinchen_xes: thx for info, so we have no resources to host  ...00:36
RzRi was thinking about a vm w/ tools installed00:36
juicemethe idea was to only officially host MD5 sums of binaries and installation packages, rhight?00:36
RzRone did exists for maemo4 and 5 too ?00:37
juicemethis way, the binaries could be anywhere, and Maemo just would verify the correctness00:37
peterleinchen_juiceme, you talking about fw images00:37
peterleinchen_?00:37
juicemepeterleinchen_, that too00:37
RzRi think its not illegal to host checksums00:38
juicemebut it need not concern _only_ fw images00:38
juicemeRzR, +100:38
peterleinchen_RzR, +200:38
RzRabout vm or sums ?00:39
RzRor sum of vm ? ie magnet link00:39
peterleinchen_md5sum for sure00:39
peterleinchen_vm idk00:40
RzRidk ?00:40
juicemei think torrent links are more of hazy stuff00:40
peterleinchen_I dont know00:40
juicememight be illegal, but checksums never00:40
peterleinchen_but gockel will find with name and checksum everything (almost)00:41
peterleinchen_so the way to go?00:41
RzRso it would help to get the hand back on that vm that shiped scratchbox and fremantle tools00:42
juicemeI vote for checksums00:42
RzRso lets list resources most wanted00:42
RzRand their sums ?00:42
RzRthere is a Nokia page on wiki00:43
juicemethat would be a good place I think00:43
