These are the notes for the August 23rd, 2015 call, originally recorded at https://pad.riseup.net/p/irQXWArCyFgHT == Agenda == * FreedomBox 0.5 release discussion * Points from meeting with Eben and Mishi (sunil) * great meeting * discussed/demoed current status * introduced bhuvan, working on gnu social * most of gnu social already in Debian * already works in a vm. * connected with enthusiastic student volunteers * Plans for the 10/31 SFLC demo (sunil) * (see previous meeting notes): software, firmware, ldap integration, client certificates, setup * going ahead without client certificates if necessary. * good exposure / demo * attract new developers * goal: double contributions / contributors by EOY. * bdale and stefano will discuss FBX to attract new developers. * it's good enough to use regularly? * sunil to demo at SFLC * focus on cubietruck, beaglebone and other fully-free stack devices (olinuxino). * markus sent project danube device for demo, now in the mail. * can we show a box without passwords? That would be an excellent demo: "The Box that Killed the Password" * bigger role for FBF? * can help with hardware? email Marc. * devices: * sunil: radxarock, rpi (need cubietruck, olinuxino) * james: dreamplug, beaglebone black, cubietruck * nick: dreamplug, beaglebone black (this week!), raspberry pi (will pick up olinuxino next month) * bhuvan: raspberry pi () * Bugs and items for polish (sunil) [ https://github.com/freedombox/Plinth/milestones/Demo ] * 0.6: Bugfix and Polish * Improve the FreedomBox-Experience for the demo! Focus on items marked "Bug" * Marc is roping in Daniel who's experimenting with the box. * Don't just focus on bugs, the enhancements will make the demo feel solid. * 0.7: mod_auth_env (October?) * Already there for ikiwiki, on a different directory. * Proposal for new first boot experience (sunil) * Looks beautiful * No need to worry about client-certs now, no point in tripping ourselves up too soon. * Test iptables firewall in ipv4-only configuration (nick) * Raspberry Pi daily crashes/reset: firmware bugs (nick) * Write how-to-hack-plinth page on the wiki (nick) * Need Vagrant script to connect user to box. * HACKING document exists, needs very minor updates. * Need "app developer" document. * What's the legal status of the logo? What should it be? SFLC to decide, see freedomboxfoundation.org for details. Probably not a great idea to reversemark because it'll be too easy to market a spywarebox as FBF. This detail is on the mailing list. * Freedombox name and logo both have U.S. trademarks * eventually will need to revisit trademark policy through the foundation == Previous TODOs == * [X] Start working on releasing 0.5 * [X] Sunil to request for upload permissions of freedombox-setup and pLinth for Nick Daly * [ ] Sunil to help with Danube packaging etc. * [ ] Danube edition changes of firstboot (pagekite voucher) should be deactivate-able by a config, can then be included in Plinth master (fonfon) * [ ] Packaging of known and restore (markus) * [ ] Bhuvan to work on GNU social packaging * [ ] Diaspora integration to freedombox (Some one is packaging it for debian. Hope they complete it asap) * [ ] Investigate Coveralls (bobg). Local work has been done, but Coveralls itself has been down since last Wednesday for a hardware upgrade, so a pull request will be submitted as soon as I can authorize GitHub to expose our project to Coveralls. * [ ] Some low hanging app ideas for FreedomBox: Btrfs snapshotting (snapper.io), Folder sharing with Samba + Rygel + NFS, Tahoe-LAFS, TTRSS, MediaWiki, Quassel, VPN, GNUnet == Progress == * New app since the 0.5 release! Shaarli: merged today, similar to del.ici.ous. * Sunil moved test suite to Plinth: we have a "Run Diagnositics" button next to each application that prints out the test details. * Moving stuff out of FBX-Setup so we can control more things in Plinth. Basically shouldn't be anything in FBX-Setup when we're done. * Lots of stuff is just '''there''' and stubbed out, not working. Get rid of that. * New contributor! * PPOE configuration by Daniel. * Daniel's moved on to other networking things. * hostapd removed, again (sorry.) == TODOs == * [ ] Review LDAP and ikiwiki (nick) * [ ] Look at freedombox overall experience for polishing for demo (marc) * [ ] Update "Use" instruction manual * [ ] how to create app guide * [ ] Bhuvan to work on GNU social packaging and integrate into FBX.
