2019-09-03 #opensuse-admin - heroes meeting

[20:02:25] <cboltz> Hi all
[20:02:33] <cboltz> it's meeting time - who is here?
[20:06:26] * knurpht 's here
[20:07:01] <cboltz> ok, so until the others show up -
[20:07:03] <knurpht> evening
[20:07:10] <cboltz> does someone from the community have any questions?
[20:07:34] <knurpht> how's the forums stuff?
[20:08:15] <cboltz> I only know the mails from Per - last thing I've seen is that he got a copy of the files, but is still waiting for the database dump
[20:08:40] <knurpht> OK
[20:08:50] <cboltz> (no idea why getting a database dump takes so long, but OTOH I'm actually surprised that he got a copy of the files already)
[20:10:51] <knurpht> yup. Kim used to be really fast when he controlled the whole circus for the forums. But he now depends on too many layers.
[20:11:33] <knurpht> cboltz: any objections against matrix ?
[20:11:58] <knurpht> I'm setting up something for Board communications
[20:12:06] <knurpht> hey Carlos
[20:12:17] <cboltz> I never used matrix, but I wouldn't call that an objection ;-)
[20:13:12] * knurpht will talk about this later tonight.
[20:19:04] * Eighth_Doctor waves
[20:20:38] <cboltz> me wonders how many nicks Eighth_Doctor uses
[20:22:57] <Eighth_Doctor> not too many ;)
[20:26:17] <Eighth_Doctor> cboltz: I've made a decent amount of progress on ipsilon on openSUSE: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:Pharaoh_Atem:SUSE_Ipsilon/ipsilon
[20:26:24] <heroes-bot> <https://x0.no/4mi8s> (at build.opensuse.org)
[20:26:42] <Eighth_Doctor> and also, I'm now the package maintainer for Ipsilon in Fedora...
[20:28:05] <cboltz> nice :-)
[20:28:34] <Eighth_Doctor> and I'm in the process of reworking that as a Python 3 package for Fedora 31+
[20:29:37] <cboltz> just wondering - how active is the ipsilon develompent?
[20:29:55] <cboltz> On pagure I see the last commit 8 months ago, and the last issue was closed 2 years ago
[20:33:20] <lcp> Eighth_Doctor: not terribly active
[20:33:25] <lcp> dang
[20:33:36] <lcp> cboltz: ^
[20:34:18] <lcp> it does get updated, a patch was merged 5 days ago to fix test suite
[20:34:54] <lcp> which is the patch that was submitted 8 months ago >:T
[20:35:51] <cboltz> see yourself: https://pagure.io/ipsilon/commits/master
[20:37:30] <lcp> cboltz: yeah, I see that
[20:48:36] <cboltz> Eighth_Doctor: do you have more insight on the (non)activity of the ipsilon development?
[21:08:19] <Eighth_Doctor> cboltz: it's activity is a bit on the low side
[21:08:38] <Eighth_Doctor> but it's still maintained well and gets eyes on it
[21:09:27] <Eighth_Doctor> it's used by Fedora for the IdP, as well as a few others
[21:10:04] <Eighth_Doctor> cboltz: the main reason for the low activity is that Patrick (who created it) has been very busy with dealing with other security issues and such
[21:10:17] <Eighth_Doctor> he's the IoT Security Engineer for the Fedora IoT Edition now
[21:10:53] <Eighth_Doctor> but he still cares about it and wants to grow a community around it
[21:12:46] <robin_listas> I have to go out
[21:24:58] <pjessen> hello, sorry i'm late. dinner etc got in the way.
[21:37:07] <cboltz> pjessen: no problem - several people were missing today
[21:37:43] <cboltz> I guess you didn't get the forums database dump yet, right?
[21:41:23] <Pharaoh_Atem> cboltz: so insofar as ipsilon development goes, there isn't *much* to do to it anymore, other than bugfixes
[21:41:29] <Pharaoh_Atem> unless people want to add more protocols to it
