Subject: [squeak-dev] leadership team meeting notes for 2008-11-19
Reply-To: The general-purpose Squeak developers list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>
Hi--
- Full attendance: Bert, Craig, Edgar, Giovanni, Igor, Randal, and
Yoshiki.
- Yoshiki contacted Matthew Fulmer and Keith Hodges about Squeak 4
(see [1] for a recap of the next planned releases as discussed at
the last meeting). No activity yet.
- Craig said he's got Spoon's remote class browsers working with
Naiad (the module system, see the design at [2]). He now has a
headless minimal memory which can use a headful history memory
(instead of changes/sources files, with the history features
mentioned in the Naiad design), browsable from a GUI memory. He's
now creating a headless history memory, to go with the minimal
memory as the next release of Spoon, 5 alpha 1 (roughly, "not the
whole Naiad design, but enough so that multiple people can work on
it"). Estimated release date is solstice (2008-12-21). In the
meantime, he would very much like feedback on the Naiad design.
- Randal says there's been no progress mentioned by the web team,
since the last meeting, in setting up a "captcha" system for
community communication with the leadership team via web mail. He
says he'll take the lead on implementing it. In the meantime,
please send agenda item suggestions to Craig.
- Bert says Marcus would like to pass responsibility for the Squeak
project servers' bills from Squeak e.V. to the nascent Squeak
project organization. While we will eventually pay Squeak's bills
from our Software Freedom Conservancy account (after we've joined,
after we have the license-clean release 4), Craig said he'd pay
the
server bills in the meantime from money we set aside when we were
going to incorporate independently (USD 2000 in a PayPal account
of
Craig's).
Giovanni said he also holds Squeak project funds from the Google
Summer of Code program. Craig suggested that anyone holding Squeak
project money keep it until we have an SFC account, unless they
don't want to, in which case he volunteered to aggregate it in
the aforementioned PayPal account.
thanks again,
-C

From the 2008-10-15 meeting:
- Yoshiki says he's created a license-clean EToys 4.0 image based
on
Squeak 3.8. We decided to use a similar process to create Squeak 4
from Squeak 3.11 (and whatever other license-clean changes the
3.11
release team, currently Matthew Fulmer and Keith Hodges, wants to
include). Yoshiki will consult with them about ensuring
license-cleanliness. Randal will coordinate with the release team
and report on their progress.
- We decided in principle to have two board-appointed release teams
working at any given moment: one producing the next release (I'll
call it "one-ahead"), and one producing the release after that
("two-ahead"). We decided that Spoon is the two-ahead release now,
or Squeak 5. Craig is leading the two-ahead team, and will add
people to it when Naiad can support their work.
