14:06 < venka> Hi All 14:06 < djay> hi all 14:07 < venka> We have quorum and can start the meeting. 14:07 < djay> yes perfectly on time 14:07 < venka> Any volunteer to chair todays PSC meeting? 14:08 < venka> If no volunteer, I can do the job for today. 14:08 < djay> nice, thanks a lot 14:08 < venka> Maxi will joinin 2 minutes. 14:09 < nbozon> Hello all 14:09 < jmckenna> hi everyone! 14:09 < venka> meeting page http://www.zoo-project.org/trac/wiki/PSC/meetings/PSCMeet15 14:09 < djay> everybody can take a quick look at the agenda items from here : http://zoo-project.org/trac/wiki/PSC/meetings/PSCMeet15 14:09 < nbozon> hi jmckenna ! 14:09 < venka> Hi Jeff. 14:09 < venka> Hi Nick and all 14:09 < nbozon> thx djay for setting up agenda 14:10 < venka> Agenda item 1: ZOO-Project OSGeo incubation Process: current status, request for help in handling. 14:10 < venka> I can give a brief on item 1 first. 14:10 < djay> nice :) 14:11 < nbozon> ok venka, please do 14:12 < venka> ZOO-Project applied for incubation as OSGeo project. Gerald attended the first incubation meeting (I think). Gerald and me asked FrankW if he could be the mentor. 14:12 -!- maxi_ [~chatzilla@195.176.186.37] has joined #zoo-project 14:12 < djay> hello maxi_ 14:12 < maxi_> hi there 14:13 < djay> PSC just started, we are at the first item (you can access logs from here : http://www.zoo-project.org/irc/%23zoo-project.2011-11-23.log) 14:13 < nbozon> hi maxi_ 14:13 < venka> FrankW agreed but he said that he will take a little more time to finish with mentoring for one other project and can take up to be a ZOO-Project incubation mentor after he is done with mentoring for incubation of other project. 14:14 < dkastl> do you know what qualifies someone to be a mentor? 14:14 < dkastl> are there alternatives? 14:14 < nbozon> no yet it sems dkastl 14:14 < venka> We can either wait for FranW to mentor or choose someone else. Since ZOO-Project used gdal, Mapserver extensively, I vote +1 for FrankW to be the mentor. 14:15 < maxi_> yes, what a mentor should do? 14:15 < jmckenna> or sure you cannot be a part of the project (i had to tell gerald this) 14:15 < venka> If there are any other alternatives, please suggest. 14:15 < nbozon> yes i am +1 too for FrankW 14:15 < jmckenna> or/for 14:15 < venka> Jeff, thanks for telling to Gerald. 14:16 < jmckenna> so to move forward this plan needs 1) an outside mentor, 2) an inside champion to push this through 14:16 < djay> I think we can wait for the other project (GEOS) incubation to finish. As discussed this morning with Jody it seems the project is near the end of the processus 14:16 < venka> What about other PSC members? Gerald you can brief about the incubation meeting. 14:17 < djay> which seems to rebirth after some time O_o 14:17 < djay> I went to the incubation meeting where I realize the number of other projects which need to pass the incubation procedure 14:18 < venka> Fine. Can we vote for mentor of discuss alternative suggestions. I think Nick, Gerald, me voted +1 for FrankW 14:18 < djay> +1 from FrankW as a mentor 14:18 < jmckenna> +1 FrankW for mentor 14:18 < djay> :) 14:18 < dkastl> +1 FrankW for mentor 14:18 < venka> Maxi? 14:18 < nbozon> +1 14:19 < nbozon> maxi_ ? 14:19 < maxi_> +1 14:20 < maxi_> Frank has experience ! 14:20 < venka> Great!. Motion to request FrankW as ZOO-Project incubation mentor passed. 14:20 < nbozon> ok, then jmckenna proposed we have a inside 'champion' to handle incubation process 14:20 < venka> Agenda item 2: ZOO-1.3dev status: should we need to publish a 1.3.0 banch and tag ? 14:20 < venka> Gerald can brief. 14:21 < nbozon> i agree to do this, if djay or other do not want to do 14:21 < venka> Nbozon, pldease. 14:21 < jmckenna> yes this goes no where without an champion 14:21 < nbozon> not about 1.3.0, about ZOO incubation process incub 14:21 < djay> In fact I added this item cause I wonder if people are aware of that the lastest ZOO-Project version available in the trunk by now contains great enhancements 14:21 < djay> such as MapServer support 14:21 < nbozon> yes, djay, please brief psc 14:22 < jmckenna> champion would attend all incubation meetings, follow mailing list, take mentor advice and bring issues to PSC. without that champion it doesn't happen 14:22 < venka> nbozon, do we have something more to discuss about agenda item 1: ZOO-Project incunation? 14:22 < venka> incubation? 14:23 < jmckenna> will copy my earlier statement 14:23 < jmckenna> " so to move forward this plan needs 1) an outside mentor, 2) an inside champion to push this through" 14:23 < venka> So who is going to be the champion from ZOO-PSC. I think the present PSC chair, or some other volunteer? 14:24 < jmckenna> someone who wants this to happen, most likely a PSC member 14:24 < djay> I would appreciate to get help from PSC 14:24 < djay> maybe the issue is that this work is requested as volunteer work ? 14:24 < venka> mentor should not be from PSC. But champion must be from PSC? 14:25 < jmckenna> venka: mentor cannot be part of the project proposed. then we need a lead inside the project to push this. champion or whatever 14:25 < djay> Champion will be somebody which will take care of the Incubation Process and will discuss things witht the mentor 14:26 < nbozon> i agree to do this if nedded 14:26 < jmckenna> djay: correct. 14:26 < djay> so as jmckenna said, I think it can be great if the champion is coming from the psc. Which mean involved in the project 14:26 < jmckenna> djay: exactly! 14:26 < venka> Mentor is FrankW. Who wants to be the champoin to work with the mentor and try to get ZOO-Project pass the incubation? 14:26 < maxi_> but what is about? code issue? or what? 14:26 < jmckenna> so nick would deal with frank and then pass on steps/tasks to PSC 14:27 < nbozon> i am ok to do it, and to brief psc chair about, and ask him if technical questions are there 14:27 < nbozon> and then djay can also discuss directly with frank if it dives too technical 14:27 < jmckenna> good plan 14:28 < nbozon> do psc agree, or does another member want to champion maybe? 14:28 < venka> We can have two champions, djay and nick and FrankW as mentor. 14:28 < jmckenna> venka: that works too 14:29 < venka> +1 for djay and nick to be ZOO-Project incubation team. If djay agrees too. 14:29 < maxi_> + for nbozon and djay 14:29 < djay> maxi_: it is about incubation, so indeed sometime there is question about code, such as "code review". It is a long process and contains many different part, hard to discribe this here 14:29 < djay> jmckenna: maybe you get a link in mind 14:29 < djay> ? 14:30 < jmckenna> +1 for djay and nick to be ZOO-Project incubation team 14:30 < dkastl> + for nbozon and djay 14:30 < djay> +1 for djay and nick to be ZOO-Project incubation team 14:30 < jmckenna> djay: i do not understand your link question 14:30 < nbozon> +1 14:30 < venka> (waiting for djay to reply) 14:31 < djay> jmckenna: it was about the incubation, a reference page, no worry 14:31 < jmckenna> djay: i actually have nothing to do with incubation committee. sorry. i can google for it if needed 14:32 < venka> Motion for djay, nbozon to be ZOO-Project incunation team passed. FrankW to be requested to be mentor. 14:32 < djay> great 14:32 < nbozon> ok so we can move to agenda item 2: ZOO-1.3dev status 14:32 < venka> djay and/or nbozon, please brief. 14:32 < nbozon> djay started to tell about the may be 'unknown' features lyining in trunk (awesome ones!) 14:32 < jmckenna> link requested: http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/index.html 14:33 < nbozon> djay started to tell about the may be 'unknown' features lying in trunk (awesome ones!) 14:33 < venka> djay, please brief. 14:33 < nbozon> oops sorry, thought i was in skype and could correct my previous sentence ! 14:33 < djay> there is so many part of the ZOO-Project which are unknown that I think I can say unknown :) 14:34 < venka> djay, please continue. 14:34 < djay> so, I think we can start the 1.3.0 release plan from the current source tree 14:34 < nbozon> yes i agree with this 14:34 < venka> +1 14:34 < djay> which should finally lead to : 14:34 < djay> 1) Documentation of the MapServer internal support of the ZOO-Kernel and some example on how to use it 14:35 < nbozon> very good plan to promote the MS suuport yes 14:35 < jmckenna> cool! 14:35 < djay> 2) Documentation for developper of services, to present how to implement services in the different languages (I think about one page pet language) 14:35 < djay> (maybe docers can give some insight) 14:35 < nbozon> yes, what we have for now is too short i think 14:35 < nbozon> about language specific examples 14:35 < djay> 3) the new ZOO-Kernel source code published and released 14:36 < nbozon> yeaaarrr ! 14:36 < djay> I even think to remove services from the release plan 14:36 < djay> so maybe should also lead to : 14:36 < djay> 0) Clear Release Plan Definition 14:36 < jmckenna> i think we can link (ha!) the incubation agenda item with release plan status - one of the requirements mentioned in the incubation meeting is what release plan does ZOO follow 14:36 < djay> :) 14:37 < nbozon> ZOO-Services should be coded (and why not contributed) by the community and ZOO tribe 14:37 < jmckenna> currently i don't think there is such a thing. so we need to follow/develop a release plan (e.g. document on a wiki the 6 month cycle etc etc) 14:37 < djay> Other *known* implementations of WPS are releasing without services 14:38 < djay> wich imply : less functionalities (! / ?) and less maintenance work to be done 14:38 < nbozon> yes djay, i didn't say we must publish with services, i think the exsting ones are sufficient to the community for creating new one... 14:38 < jmckenna> another topic that came up in incubation is having an open PSC (so meetings on IRC, public mailing list)...so all that stuff that i pushed and pushed earlier to PSC (mostly to no success). 14:38 < nbozon> and i get your point about removing ZOO-Services 14:38 < venka> Can we have only GDAL/OGR example services in each release? 14:38 * jmckenna goes into listening mode 14:39 < djay> jmckenna: psc mailing list is publically readable, isn't it ? 14:39 < nbozon> jmckenna, you at least manage to move psc meetings on irc, ah ! 14:39 < jmckenna> djay: PSC mailing list is not public 14:39 < jmckenna> no one can join 14:39 < jmckenna> nbozon: :D 14:40 < djay> yes no one can join, we can modify that but it is readable, isn't fair enough ? 14:40 < jmckenna> phew this is tough here 14:40 < jmckenna> i went through this before 14:40 < nbozon> for me its ok, but i do not know about osgeo incubation comitte criteria for this 14:40 < djay> nbozon: I've heard that somes are moving from irc to skype :) 14:41 < nbozon> ohoh ! 14:41 < jmckenna> PSC mailing list should allow members of the community to ask questions, follow along emails, etc etc 14:41 < djay> ok, so we can vote for making PSC mailing list public 14:41 < nbozon> open meetings on skype microsoft, that rocks ! 14:41 < jmckenna> k i am getting everyone off topic 14:41 < venka> We can think of incubation process as we move on. atleast we now have an incubation team and mentor. If it is a requirement for PSC ML to be public, we can have necessary changes. 14:42 < jmckenna> so my point is that incubation will require certain things - release plan, open psc, etc etc 14:42 < nbozon> yes, i vote -1 to make it public now, but +1 to make it public if osgeo comitee requires it 14:42 < dkastl> I don't think it will attract a lot of people to join and open PSC mailing list. So why not make it public? 14:42 < venka> No need to vote about PSC ML etc. in this meeting. 14:42 < jmckenna> unfortunately no one listened to me earlier here. but i am happy if an 'incubation' structure will force you to. thank you 14:43 < djay> dkastl: I can confirm, let's make it public 14:43 < dkastl> it doesn't hurt to have a mailing list public 14:43 < djay> +1 for making psc ml public 14:43 < dkastl> +1 for making psc ml public 14:43 < jmckenna> +1 public PSC list 14:44 < nbozon> ok , +1, i follow the chair then 14:44 < nbozon> ah! 14:44 < jmckenna> we are open! :) 14:44 < nbozon> one more vote and we get quorum for this 14:44 < maxi_> this is not in the agenda, personally i have no problem in making it public. Mqaybe next PSC we will have more requirements to fulfill for the incubation process and then we can vote on a series of actions 14:45 < jmckenna> maxi_: true true 14:45 < nbozon> please not taht zoo-discuss has may be 100 or more members, so psc list will have very less i think 14:45 < nbozon> let us see once it is public ! 14:45 < venka> +0, we can decide after we begin the incubation project. No problem in making any ZOO related ML public at any stage but that is not the agenda for todays meeting. 14:46 < djay> I think we can follow the maxi_ light 14:46 < djay> so for the 1.3.0 tag and branch, we should first start by working on a clear release plan definition 14:46 < venka> +1 for Maxi's suggestion. Seems to be the same as mine. 14:47 < nbozon> ok, agenda item #2 ? 14:47 < djay> jmckenna: I think that you can be a real asset in this, I think that Markus can be a great help also, we go through ml list to discuss this ? 14:47 < jmckenna> djay: agreed my friend 14:47 < djay> I think for item 2 we can move forward to ml by now. 14:48 < djay> mmm, maybe this item would require a zoo-dev mailing list .... 14:48 < jmckenna> maybe your trac notifications can be sent to zoo-dev instead of zoo-users 14:49 < jmckenna> not sure. thinking out loud 14:49 < venka> item 2: +1 for publishing a 1.3.0 banch and working on the release plan side-by-side. 14:49 < jmckenna> venka +1 14:49 < djay> venka: +1 14:50 < venka> dkastl, maxi, nick? vote for item 2. 14:50 < maxi_> +1 14:51 < nbozon> +1 14:51 < dkastl> +0 14:51 < venka> I think the motion is passed. 14:51 < maxi_> jmckenna: +1 for moving trac notification to to dev 14:52 < djay> I agree with maxi_ and jmckenna here 14:53 < djay> +1 for moving trac notification to dev 14:53 < venka> meaning we start another ML zoo-dev? 14:53 < jmckenna> it was suggested by djay 14:53 < venka> +0 14:54 < dkastl> +0 14:54 < jmckenna> i am also a +0 (but i hate those trac nofications on the list ha) :) 14:54 < nbozon> +1 14:54 < dkastl> Are the notifications convenient for someone? 14:55 < djay> jmckenna: the trac notification can be removed then ? 14:55 < jmckenna> it's only my opinion 14:55 < nbozon> i think can be great to have zoo-discuss, zoo-dev and zoo-psc all public 14:55 < nbozon> so than zoo-discuss followers have general posts 14:55 < venka> ok, let us bear with this (trac nofications on the list) for a while longer or discuss about options on PSC ML. 14:55 < nbozon> and zoo-dev followers get news from the Trac 14:56 < djay> +1 to continue discussing this subject though ml venka 14:57 < venka> move to item 3? 14:57 < venka> item 3: ZOO-Docs status: new ZOO-Workshop material integration, how to do it smoothly ? How to integrate the ZOO-Docs french translation ? 14:57 < maxi_> +0 several ML make sense if there is a minimum number of follower and of posts, otherwise one only make it easier 14:58 < maxi_> sorry was late, move to the next as Venka suggested 14:58 < djay> always good to hear relevant comments maxi_ 14:58 < venka> maxi, make thinks easier? or difficult. 14:59 < venka> things 15:00 < venka> maxi, i did not get your statement "otherwise one only make it easier" 15:00 < jmckenna> have french zoo docs been committed in SVN? ( i was not aware of that). I think SVN restructuring (english docs in 'en', french in 'fr' has to happen) 15:00 < maxi_> otherwise have only one ML is more easy to follow what's happening 15:00 < maxi_> sorry for my "spagetti" english :-D 15:00 < jmckenna> the trick will be to modify the live site for this SVN structure 15:00 < venka> +1 to maxi. 15:01 < venka> move to item3: 15:01 < venka> please continue jmckenna, djay. 15:02 < jmckenna> i know for MapServer the logic/code to switch langs was done by a contributor. (meaning: i'd need assistance to do this for zoo, someone's technical help) 15:02 < djay> jmckenna: we opened a ticket about the french translation containing the link to public repository 15:03 < jmckenna> djay: ok. what is your question? 15:03 < jmckenna> :) 15:03 < djay> http://zoo-project.org/trac/ticket/44 15:03 < nbozon> yes, rst french files are available on thomas grattier github, we have it too 15:03 < venka> ZOO SVN does not have switch-lang? 15:04 < jmckenna> so to answer my questions above: no the french files have not been committed 15:04 < nbozon> it will be very good to include it in /docs, so we can promote ZOO-Project better in France 15:04 < jmckenna> i will repeat above 15:04 < djay> :) 15:04 < jmckenna> :D 15:05 < jmckenna> in short again: restructure SVN for langs, then make magic for site to use that lang structure 15:05 < nbozon> yes, we but thomas preapred all the fr folder, and he doens't have comit access 15:05 < venka> +1 for comit access to Thomas Gratier. 15:06 < nbozon> in fact we just have to copy paste and commit in fact, Gerald already proposed access to thomas i think 15:06 < venka> if that solves the problem and makes docs (in any language) better. 15:06 < nbozon> am i wrong ? 15:06 < djay> venka: unfortunatelly I don't think it will make the documentation better :) 15:06 < jmckenna> +1 to give TGratier full access 15:07 < djay> what is the meaning of "full access" ? 15:07 < venka> djay: so what alternative do you suggest? 15:07 < jmckenna> +1 to give TGratier SVN commit access 15:08 < djay> jmckenna: I think you can help him (TG) a lot in integrating and organizing his work into the ZOO-Project SVN server as the ZOO-Project Documentation Leader 15:08 < djay> :) 15:08 < djay> ok, great 15:08 < jmckenna> djay: yes this gets back to the restructuring SVN needed first (which will break the current live site) 15:08 < jmckenna> yes lots of work there 15:09 < venka> I am not very clear about this agenda. djay, nick, can you brief exactly what needs to be done to get existing french docs into the zoo-docs. 15:09 < jmckenna> i did outline earlier above what needs to be done. apparently nick and gerald must answer here instead 15:10 < djay> I cannot say, I think Jeff can brief more than I can do here. He is the architect of the Documentation structure and which makes things working and beeing automatically updated and so on 15:10 < venka> jmckenna, you talked about language switch. I think that is very important to have. I did not understand what other issues are there. 15:10 < jmckenna> in short: restructuring SVN, then let thomas commit french docs, than modify site structure (big task) 15:11 < djay> do you think we can propose some money to TGratier to do the work ? 15:11 < venka> modify site structure to support language switching? 15:11 < djay> no for me, the site structure is jmckenna work 15:11 < venka> jmeckenna: wait for your answer. 15:12 < jmckenna> sorry: 3 steps: restructuring SVN, then let thomas commit french docs, than modify site structure to support language switching 15:13 < venka> How to be get across the three steps? 15:13 < venka> Who will do teh step1. 15:14 < jmckenna> step1: i can do. 2: thomas. 3: nick and myself and a little gerald probably 15:14 < djay> I think that step 1 and 3 should be done by jmckenna 15:14 < djay> jmckenna: ok, you're right 15:14 < jmckenna> djay: yes for for 3 i stated earlier some more magic must happen 15:14 < nbozon> jmckenna: i agree to help on step 3, and yes we'll call gerald for help ! ahh 15:14 < jmckenna> :) 15:14 < nbozon> we must add a langauge menu somewhere 15:15 < jmckenna> nbozon: yes exactly and then make it work :) 15:15 < nbozon> and switch to fr content by magic yes 15:15 < jmckenna> yup 15:16 < venka> jmckenna: OK, start with step1. We can have a vote for SVN access to TGratier on ZOO-PSC ML. I think e-mail bote for svn access is the PSC guideline. 15:16 < nbozon> i think there should be some examples of multi-lang sphinx available 15:16 < nbozon> like in the MS docs , uhh 15:16 < djay> venka: exactly, I first have to propose the svn access 15:17 < jmckenna> nbozon: no problem for sphinx multilang, i am an expert here. but then pointing to the different docs in the ZOO website structure, is the issue 15:17 < djay> nbozon: I think that TGrattier did this work already, building tree for fr and en ... 15:17 < venka> so let us decide about step 1 today. +1 for jmckenna to finish step1 15:17 < nbozon> jmckenna, djay: ok 15:18 < djay> following last jmckenna sentence, that make me think about multi-language support for trac content (wiki pages used to build the web site) 15:19 < djay> +1 for jmckenna to finish step1 (if he accept to do obviously :) was the question missed ? ) 15:19 < jmckenna> i stated earlier/volunteered :) 15:19 < djay> wonderfull, you are great 15:19 < nbozon> +1 ! 15:20 < jmckenna> +1 15:20 < venka> +1 15:20 < djay> +1 15:20 -!- tclarke|AFK is now known as tclarke 15:20 < djay> dkastl maxi_ ? 15:21 < venka> djay: you can send e-mail about svn access for TGrattier, if needed. 15:21 < djay> hi tclarke I saw your ping too late last time 15:21 < dkastl> +0 (too easy to give +1 for work done by others ;-) 15:21 < djay> dkastl: do you want to be integrated with jmckenna to achieve this work ? :) 15:22 < venka> jmckenna: please go ahead with step 1. Can we move to next agenda item. 15:22 < jmckenna> venka: ok sounds good 15:22 < venka> Is there any ZOO-Project Presentations planned in the future ? 15:23 * djay just find the link again https://github.com/ThomasG77/zoo-project-fr 15:23 < djay> I don't get any talk planned to present ZOO-Project by now 15:23 < djay> others ? 15:23 < maxi_> +1, sorry i was away for a couple of minutes... :-/ 15:24 < maxi_> no talk in the near future 15:24 < djay> thx maxi_, no worry 15:24 < venka> no plans as yet for any ZOO talk in 2011 from my side. 15:24 < jmckenna> venka: do you have specific events in mind? 15:25 < venka> not in 2011. I am still working on djay's new workshop material. 15:25 < venka> definitely in early 2012. 15:26 < jmckenna> i would also like to know if we should plan to attend any code sprints (ZOO team) 15:26 < venka> 2012 Jan I will work with Song-san and Nick about ZOO-Service for flood/erosion modelling, maybe. 15:27 < djay> jmckenna: good to raise this question 15:27 < maxi_> yes, it was a pity in Denver we couldn't work on tsunami service in zoo :-( 15:27 < djay> indeed, we never meet before going outside the building :( 15:28 < venka> maxi: maybe in 2012. 15:28 < maxi_> :-D ... but we could arrange for 2012 if of interest... 15:28 < jmckenna> code sprint in denver was very well attended 15:28 < nbozon> maxi_ : yes it is ! 15:28 < nbozon> jmckenna:true 15:28 < djay> jmckenna: yes it was 15:28 < nbozon> but the next one is quite far away from djay and I this time 15:29 < jmckenna> there is a U.S. C-Tribe sprint in February i believe 15:29 < djay> I still don't understand where was Jody and Maxi during the workshop but seems they was together as we cannot meet :) 15:29 < venka> note sure about code sprint or event. no plans for events from my side as yet. faint possibility of ZOO-project seminar in Poland in May2012, if we manage the funds. 15:29 < maxi_> we were at the upper floor... 15:29 < jmckenna> ("IslandWood Sprint" i think it is being referred to as) 15:30 < jmckenna> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/IslandWood_Code_Sprint_2012 15:30 < jmckenna> costly up-front this year 15:30 < djay> I think we should attend 15:31 < jmckenna> I think we all should. for me it is an issue of cost. 15:31 < jmckenna> but yes i feel i must be there 15:31 < nbozon> yes, but far away. We could be funded by ZOO sponsors, if any 15:31 < jmckenna> far for me as well (probably same flight price for me as you) 15:31 < nbozon> yes, bad location 15:32 < jmckenna> i am not a fan of location either, but, i feel we must go 15:32 < djay> maybe we can stay in our location, dress basketball tee-shirt and switch to Seattle time zone, coming on irc chan and see if it works, but it will not be the same probably :) 15:33 < maxi_> falk, other points on agenda? 15:33 < djay> jmckenna: I think the same 15:33 < djay> maxi_: I think that we should close the psc meeting 15:33 < djay> more than one hour passed 15:33 < nbozon> +1 to close meeting 15:33 < djay> thanks a lot for your time 15:33 < jmckenna> +1 good meeting all! 15:33 < nbozon> yes, thanks to all 15:33 < venka> Agenda item: Any plan for ZOO-Project Packages for Linux / MacOS X / Win32 ? 15:34 < maxi_> +1 thanks to all !!! 15:34 < venka> Agenda item: ZOO-Project Web Site Mirror 15:34 < venka> to be discussed in the PSC ML. 15:34 < venka> Thanks for your time. Bye. 15:34 < djay> are postponed to next psc meeting and can be discussed before though mailing list 15:35 < maxi_> agree; Packeges: this will be of great help in disseminating ZOO 15:35 < venka> Meeting closed. 15:35 < maxi_> bye to everyone ;-) 15:36 < venka> +1 maxi. I hope we can work on the package. 15:36 < venka> bye all 15:36 < nbozon> bye venka, all 15:37 < jmckenna> bye all, snow coming down here, first snowfall of season for me. snow makes me happy (yes i am a crazy canadian ha) 15:38 < venka> djay: I think the Virtual Image that you used in Tokyo, should be on the zoo website for download. 15:38 < venka> that would help many people to follow the ZOO-workshop. 15:38 < djay> venka: I wonder where to put it in fact 15:38 < jmckenna> venka: i would love to give some training/ visit Poland someday. 15:39 < djay> jmckenna: would be great to promote ZOO there :) 15:39 < venka> jmckenna: enjoy the snow. Let us plan to meet in poland someday. 15:39 < jmckenna> in fact i did talk to milena very recently about giving some training there. 15:40 < jmckenna> djay: venka :) 15:40 < jmckenna> only ideas at this stage 15:40 < venka> djay: I think the virtual disk space has to be increased. no need to sqeeze to fit into a dvd. 15:41 < jmckenna> venka: maybe we should start an email thread on training in poland with milena, markus, and all of us 15:41 < djay> jmckenna: great idea 15:41 < venka> jmckenna: sounds good. 15:42 < venka> djay: important to have the VM on the workshop docs page. 15:42 < venka> I hope the tokyo workshop material will be on zoo-docs in the near future. 15:43 < djay> the material is build here http://zoo-project.org/ZOO-WS-2011-JP/build/html/ 15:43 < nbozon> venka: could also be good to start a /jp directory in the ZOO-Docs 15:43 < djay> we have to integrate it into the SVN documentation 15:44 < venka> nbozon: yes, /jp directory is necessary, but that should be possible after the svn magic for language switch is done? 15:45 < nbozon> yes, and after the svn docs is restructured, yep 15:45 < jmckenna> great to have a /jp directory! :) 15:46 < jmckenna> and also CN! (MapServer has one now, thanks to Elvis!) 15:47 < djay> venka: thanks Elvis for that work 15:48 < venka> I think the most important thing now is to have a ZOO-Virtual Machine. Ah! elvis, he will be there at FOSS4G2012. 15:48 < djay> jmckenna: do you think I can simply commit the ZOO-WS material into the SVN in a subdirectory as it is currently or I have to modify it ? 15:48 < djay> can be great to get the workshop material translated to chinese :) 15:49 < djay> we should publish different vm, as the one we provide is always setup with a french keyboard :) 15:49 < jmckenna> djay: i am not familair with the ZOO-WS material that you refer to 15:49 < jmckenna> so i cannot answer it. if it is in english, yes please commit! 15:49 < venka> CUMTB will also be involved in FOSS4G2012. 15:51 < djay> jmckenna: I think it is near the english language :) 15:51 < venka> Translation is not a top priority for me now. Have and good package with good english/french docs. then we can work on japanese/chines docs. 15:51 < jmckenna> venka: great to have CUMTB involved in 2012 15:52 < venka> jmckenna: I am not as worried about the success of FOSS4G2012 as some OSGeo-Board members are. 15:53 < jmckenna> most north american -based members seem to be giving up on any hope of 2012 and planning north american event. breaks my heart 15:54 < jmckenna> actually it seems they have no hope to give for 2012. they are not giving it a chance 15:54 < venka> jmckenna: your neighbours were not in large numbers at the Victoria meet too. 15:55 < jmckenna> true. it seems they don't like to travel 15:56 < venka> jmckenna: don't want to, I guess. 15:57 < venka> djay: +1 for publishing different ZOO-vm
