+
+
+# Volunteers to handle important tickets flagged for next release, but without assignee
+
+- [[!tails_ticket 16169]] and [[!tails_ticket 16148]] are dev tasks and in

+
+# Availability and plans until the next meeting
+
+- intrigeri: availability: very little in December; my focus will be mostly
+ outside of Tails and the little I'll put into Tails is already fully++
+ booked. plans: whatever I'm needed for on the USB image project; ensure the
+ changes at our major infra provider don't break too much of our stuff;
+ reproducible builds summit; help groente with the new sysadmin hiring process;
+ get some holiday; take care of myself by procrastinating on useful volunteer
+ Tails work that's not been spotted as particularly urgent; plans++: whatever is
+ still needed to ensure AppArmor is enabled by default in Buster
+- nodens: availability and plan until january: as low as the last 3 months...
+ I'll keep an eye on bugs reports for openpgp-applet as upstream and can
+ answer questions here and there, but no time for real work
+- emmapeel: will try to finish their weblate bits
+- muri: plans: i'll do the monthly report and i'll look at the great feedback
+ intrigeri gave on [[!tails_ticket 14507]] ;) and then i'll go to 35c3
+- moire: availability: better than last month, until the 22nd, then mostly
+ unavailable. Working on the donation campaign.
+- u: availability: i plan to take time off between christmas and new year's,
+ until then work on debian and verification extension, but my schedule is
+ fully packed
+- cbrownstein: i'm always available. :-)
+- number: availability: starting from january; plans: help soayoilida to review
+ the html/css/js of the website.
+
+# Important missing bits in the next monthly report
+
+- the deadline is between dec 10th and 13th, emmapeel suggests to give a push
+ to the donation campaign on the report; moire will have a look at previous
+ reports and see where they can add campaigning bits
+
+# FOSDEM
+
+[FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/2019/) is Feb 2-3 in Brussels;
+emmapeel was wondering if we are attending and maybe if somebody knows if a
+booth with nsoignons etc is hapenning; emmapeel will check with a person from
+tor if we could join their booth.

+(07:20:45 PM) intrigeri: carlosm2: we'll need feedback for the USB image project. it should make things much nicer for users but of course it will have problems initially :)
+(07:21:02 PM) number: hahah ;)
+(07:21:10 PM) carlosm2: ok, I'll look on this
+(07:21:15 PM) intrigeri: next topic! Important missing bits in the next monthly report.
+(07:21:30 PM) intrigeri: carlosm2: I thik we'll have something ready for testing in the 2nd half of December.
+(07:21:31 PM) emmapeel: i suggest to give a push to the donation campaign on the report

+(07:22:00 PM) geb: good idea emma
+(07:22:27 PM) intrigeri: muri-pidgin: I trust you to make it nicer than a dry list of bullet points :)
+(07:22:37 PM) ***moire all for it!
+(07:22:56 PM) muri-pidgin: i'll try to wrap up the report between 10th and 13th of dec, it would be great if you could add your points until then ;)
+(07:23:22 PM) intrigeri: so, monthly report, well, you know the drill, add your bits, make them cool and nice to read and a good incentive to contribute somehow.
+(07:24:02 PM) intrigeri: moire: will you add somethig about the campaign, e.g. with links to the corresponding blog posts, maybe on top of the report? ("just an idea", as someone would say :)
+(07:24:43 PM) muri-pidgin: <blink>donate!</blink>
+(07:24:47 PM) intrigeri: background info: this report reaches audiences our other material does not, e.g. LWN readers.
+(07:24:55 PM) moire: sure
+(07:25:10 PM) intrigeri: (I bet lots of them have money and just don't know yet that they should give it to us.)
+(07:25:58 PM) intrigeri: anything else the report should include and you won't add yourself?
+(07:26:03 PM) kurono left the room.
+(07:27:13 PM) intrigeri: OK, next topic then. shout if I'm too fast.
+(07:27:16 PM) moire: muri-pidgin: I'll have a look at previous reports and see where I can add campaigning bits.
+(07:27:16 PM) intrigeri: " FOSDEM. Aybody attending? Booth? "
+(07:27:51 PM) intrigeri: https://fosdem.org/2019/ Feb 2-3, Brussels
+(07:28:00 PM) emmapeel: yes sorry that is my topic
+(07:28:21 PM) emmapeel: i was wondering if we are attending and maybe if somebody knows if the booth with nsoignons etc is hapenning
+(07:28:46 PM) moire: I'll be there, don't know about nosoignons/etc.
+(07:28:47 PM) geb: the person of nos oignons told me he will be unable to handle the booth this year
+(07:28:55 PM) u: i might be going there
+(07:28:58 PM) intrigeri: undecided. no idea about a booth and I won't organize it, but if I'm there I will take a shift or two there.
+(07:29:07 PM) nodens: I probably won't go, and if I do I'll probably have a $dayjob hat on
+(07:29:24 PM) number: I'll probably go to the fosdem, but not completly sure
+(07:29:32 PM) nodens: so I'll say hi but I won't appear as a contributor ;)
+(07:29:38 PM) intrigeri: wrt. booth: there's been something about this in some recent Tor Vegas team meeting notes. I think they're wondering exactly the same as us. Should coordinate if we want to do something.
+(07:29:45 PM) emmapeel: im attending i think...
+(07:30:20 PM) emmapeel: yes, they are seeing abut this too. a lot of people frm torproject is attending
+(07:30:21 PM) muri-pidgin: i've not thought about fosdem yet, but i'm intrigued and i probably have time
+(07:30:21 PM) intrigeri: reminder: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/sponsorship_to_attend_events/
+(07:30:27 PM) geb: emmapeel: as the person of nos oignons did not ask for a booth, somebody may have to ask for it, if you want to do one (if its not too late ?)
+(07:30:48 PM) emmapeel: i think somepeople from tor asked for one, we could jump on theirs
+(07:30:59 PM) emmapeel: i can check that with stephw
+(07:31:07 PM) emmapeel: i would then go and make some shifts too
+(07:31:23 PM) intrigeri: deadline for booths was Nov 2, apparently https://fosdem.org/2019/news/2018-08-10-call-for-participation/
+(07:31:34 PM) intrigeri: unless that's another thing than "stands".
+(07:32:14 PM) intrigeri: https://submission.fosdem.org/stands.php says "Submissions are now closed for 2019."
+(07:32:30 PM) emmapeel: what do you think about my proposal to check with stephw in tor about their booth?
+(07:33:03 PM) emmapeel: (you as in everybody)
+(07:33:14 PM) geb: sounds good :)
+(07:33:26 PM) intrigeri: if tor has a booth and we have enough people who can commit to give a hand, yeah, let's share it with us.
+(07:33:29 PM) intrigeri: s/us/them/
+(07:33:48 PM) moire: +1
+(07:34:26 PM) number: for me is nice and if I'll be at the fosdem; I can also help at the desk like last year :P
+(07:35:35 PM) intrigeri: looks like nobody has major concerns with this proposal → accepted! thanks emmapeel :)
+(07:35:41 PM) emmapeel: ok ill do that then
+(07:35:56 PM) intrigeri: emmapeel: anything else FOSDEMy you wanted to discuss?
+(07:36:17 PM) emmapeel: not really well i thought maybe somebody was giving a talk or something.
+(07:36:18 PM) number: the room of opensourcedesign extended the time to applicate for a talk and if someone isinterested ..
+(07:36:50 PM) intrigeri left the room.
+(07:36:56 PM) number: until 8 of dic
+(07:37:10 PM) intrigeri entered the room.
+(07:37:30 PM) intrigeri: number: hmm, too early for me to go back under the spotlights of a talk stage.
+(07:38:23 PM) intrigeri: (still somewhat traumatized from having canceled my keynote at CryptoRave 2017)
+(07:38:37 PM) number: I was proposing if someone of UX is interested..
+(07:38:38 PM) geb: there would be other occasions intrigeri :)
+(07:39:08 PM) intrigeri: number: then I suggest you tell sajolida about it :)
+(07:39:29 PM) number: intrigeri: :) yes sure
+(07:40:49 PM) intrigeri: (I was talking about myself because I think that a developer's perspective about "how UX design is great and helps dev work when properly coordinated" and/or "usability is a security feature", which I still want to give talks about, could be relevant and useful in that devroom)
+(07:41:00 PM) intrigeri: meeting over, then.
