[Snowy] [Meeting Minutes] 14 March 2010 (and a note about future meetings)

[Sandy Armstrong <sanfordarmstrong gmail com>]

Hey folks,

After a brief discussion in IRC with Paul and Sander, we've decided to
make these meetings a regular thing.  We will hold them every couple
of weeks for now.  Maybe we should pick a different time that works
better for folks in Asia and other difficult timezones, though.

Anyway, after each meeting, we'll email the full minutes to this list,
which should let people participate in the planning and discussion,
even if they can't make a meeting.  So to get that started, here are
the minutes from Sunday's meeting:

================
(Minutes/logs/etc also available at

Mar 14 2010

Attendance: Sandy Armstrong, Brad Taylor, Ray Wang, Stefano, Leon Handreke

Meeting purpose: Have Snowy more organized for a Tomboy Online launch in 2010

Updates
--
* Ray is now a member of the GNOME sysadmin team, and will be working
on deploying Snowy to GNOME infrastructure
* Lots of great patches coming from Leon and Sander
* Marketing team is okay with us using the Tomboy Online name and
domain for now, but they'd like us to use OpenID for authentication
right from the beginning

Concerns
--
* We have three places to track tasks: the wiki, bugzilla, and the
TODO file, and some tasks listed are not very clear
* Stefano suggested that note encryption should be higher priority,
but we all seem to agree that we have plenty of work to do before we
get to that point
* Leon had an outstanding patch for search-in-sidebar that Brad needed to review
* Ray had some issues getting all the necessary dependencies to test
deployment on his local machine
* We need to work on OpenID ASAP, need to pick a library and integrate
it, Leon interested in doing this
* We need to figure out what it means to do a Snowy release, how to
distribute it, etc

Action Items
--
* Brad to clear out TODO file, and replace it with a link to the wiki
* Brad to finish review of Leon's search-in-sidebar patch
* Leon to look into OpenID
* Ray to practice deploying Snowy, Stefano and the rest of us to help
him with learning Apache, WSGI, etc
* Stefano to look into note encryption
* Sandy to figure out why sync has broken for Stefano
* Sandy to think about how to do a Snowy release so we can follow
GNOME schedule next cycle

Cheers,
Sandy
