== Agenda ==

 * Demo video uploaded, any discussion/feedback?
   * Daniel has source-files from the demo, but unless he hears otherwise, it's complete.  Please give feedback on the audio or editing if you have concerns.
   * We should replace the fbf.org video with the latest demo video :)
     * We'll need to get in touch with Marc to edit it.  Or Daniel.
     * Might want more elaborate hosting: youtube?  Maybe something that doesn't recommend flashplayer.
   * What's our hit count?  Low hundreds?  Billions?  Over 3,000 on one Sunday.  Seems to have been getting around a bunch.  Anything we can do to help spread the video further?
   * Daniel also created a short-cut of the video (~5min) that might be good to share as well.  Might be good to put that on the FBF.org front-page.
 * Roadmap
   * Marc sent out an email with a medium-term roadmap (0.7 - 0.9): comments?
   * Django 2FA dependencies still need packaging, but applies only and directly to Plinth.
   * The PGP-Client certification applies to all the packages: Apache's mod-auth-env (by Marc).
     * Users have a client certificate derived from their PGP keys, which will allow users to log in to any of their FreedomBox's applications without passwords.
     * James created ITP bug for mod-auth-env (805750), which needs a DD's upload: Bdale, Federico, or Jonas.
     * There's no Apache config in the package now.  The apache-deb-helper module might be useful here.
   * We'll continue trying to integrate gnusocial and diaspora, targeting 0.9.
     * Sunil knows the Debian GnuSocial packager.
     * Diaspora is in Experimental, and needs dependencies.  Can't be installed right now.
 * Translations
   * Preparing Plinth for I18N complete: all translatable strings marked.
     * Contribution methods:
       * Git commits
       * Upload to debian localization portal: download PO file and upload translated files: this won't exist until we do a Plinth release with .po files included.
       * Upload to transifex.com, already have 3 language teams on Transifex.
       * Philip expects French translation by 11/27.
 * Progress towards 0.7 release (11/27)
   * Support for new Hardware
     * Sunil tested AMD-64 image against the APU-1D (>= $120).
       * APU-1D has 3 ethernet ports, the first is the uplink, the other two are downstream.  Everything worked correctly without any hacking.
     * OLinuXino LIME2 and Micro (~45 EUR) also work well.
   * James moved HW-Specific code from FreedomBox-Setup to Freedom-Maker.
     * FBX-Setup no longer contains *any* hardware specific configuration, only configuration needs to be in F-M!  This makes adding hardware much faster/easier.
   * Only open-HW device unsupported is Radxarock.
 * Open issues: Dreamplug boot, Plinth i18n, mod-gnutls issue
   * DreamPlug Boot
     * See debbug 804351 (and 803476).
   * Cubietruck Boot
     * realtime clock errors hang systemd, usual fix is to short the battery, that didn't work.
     * Kernel upgrade: cubietruck requires flashkernel to enable the new kernel after install.
     * need to change boot partition from fat-32 to ext2.
     * standard uboot (installed on device) should work here.
   * Beaglebone issues
     * Rev-A/B board: James's been testing on a rev-C board.  Bob couldn't boot an earlier board.  Needs confirmation.  Folks who buy a new board to make a FreedomBox should be fine.
   * RPI2: linux kernel 4.4 available, have folks been testing it, is it supported generally?  Should be semi-supported when 4.4 is avaialble, but there're other drivers unsupported.  Same binary blob issues as always. :'(
       * Roadmap: http://elinux.org/RPi_Upstreaming
   * Mod-gnutls
     * See debbug 754960, grave: can't disable SSLv3.0, see also debbug 642357/
     * follow up with dkg around gnutls-0.6.
 * User Experience
   * Change the contribute page to focus on improving the user's first boot experience.
   * Make a getting-started-for-new-boxers page?
   * How do we get feedback from users who aren't tech-savvy?  How can we improve documentation?
   * UI/UX issues are interface bugs that should be tracked, owned, and resolved just like any other bug.
     * How do we prevent these bugs from recurring?
   * Thanks for putting https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/QuestionsAndAnswers together, Philip!
   * We should focus on welcoming new, less technical, users.  Separate the developer/user documentation?
   * How do we make these concepts accessible to users?  Maybe giving users a quick introduction to the tools.  Maybe introduction videos installed in the system.
 * Next Calls
   * December 20 or December 27?  27 is 5 weeks away, but 20 is before holidays start.
   * Next call is 12/20 at 6PM UTC.
   * Next hack call is 12/12 at 2PM UTC.

       * Possible topics: client certificate auth

 * Hack Meet Review
   * Discussed translations.
   * Discussed engaging local teams:
     * translating the wiki
     * getting Plinth (and other project) translations
     * creating freedomboxes
     * engaging non-programmers
     * small/easy bugs list (see the "beginner" or "newcomer" bugs in Plinth/Debian)
       * small bugs aren't necessarily easy bugs, not sure which would be better for getting new people interested in the project.

== December TODOs ==

 * [ ] Federico: Take a peek at Debbug 805750 and see if can upload mod-auth-env to unstable.
 * [ ] Daniel: Get the quick-cut of the FBX demo on fbf.org.
