+1 to deleting the images, but maybe leave dextrose/patches/ for 
historical reference? Some XOs in the field might be still running those 
ancient images, and some of those patches were never accepted upstream.

G'day.

I agree that they should be removed.

On Sat, Dec 8, 2018, 10:33 AM James Cameron  Harms are misdirection of users and filesystem size.

Any backlinks to these images (maybe on our wiki) will also have to be
updated / removed.

Thanks

[James Cameron]

Yes.

Harms are misdirection of users and filesystem size.

Further subdividing;

- on the misdirection, the images have bugs that have been fixed, such
  as since mitigated zero-day vulnerabilities.

- on the size, they increased time cost of backups or filesystem
  maintenance on the servers.

What are the gains in keeping these files?

I don't see the harm in leaving old stuff lying around if the disk has
plenty of room. Surely there's more important things to do  :)

[07:14:48]  Oh
[07:14:57]  So I am guessing many people will be coming in an

[07:15:08]  Mea cupla

[07:46:54]  Quozl, yes... I messed up
[07:47:29]  We could do the India thing and be on the half

[07:49:47] -*- walterbender is looking forward to not being the one to run 
meetings
[07:50:18]  what got messed up?
[07:52:27]  copy and paste error, is all.
[07:52:37]  some country somewhere changed their offset to utc.
[07:53:35]  I was a ploy to see if I could get some SLOB members 
to show up :P
[07:55:13] --> callaurrea has joined #sugar-meeting
[07:55:27]  good afternoon
[07:56:07]  hi callaurrea
[07:56:07]  hello callaurrea
[07:56:57]  Good to be here
[07:57:06]  early
[07:57:13]  and no drama with irc
[07:57:15]  :)
[07:57:23]  Lol
[07:57:28]  Yes, lol
[07:57:39]  hehe
[07:57:44]  I was nervous
[07:57:46]  Many times I had faced the problem of IRC blocking me
[07:57:49]  lol
[07:58:34]  the irc blocking may return, it depends on the war.
[07:58:44]  so far, so good. For now.
[07:58:49]  so work on your registration.
[07:59:01]  and get a good irc client that knows how to do registration.
[07:59:07]  I heard it is some guy in his bedroom in New Jersey.
[07:59:21]  Quozl: s/bedroom/parent’s basement/g
[07:59:33]  i heard it was a rogue ai.
[07:59:34]  that explains it all
[07:59:38]  walterbender: , rather
[07:59:42]  one of those silly chatbots nobody needs.  ;-)
[07:59:54]  Well... we should get started
[08:00:01]  Yup
[08:00:13] -*- MrBIOS returns to lurking
[08:00:34]  welcome to the last SL oversight board meeting of 
2019.
[08:00:43]  Any SLOB members here?
[08:00:45]  is samson joining?
[08:00:45]  callaurrea,
[08:00:54]  i am here
[08:01:00]  samsongoddy is sammy
[08:01:05]  ah ok :)
[08:01:10]  One more and we have a quorum
[08:01:26]  But we start regardless.
[08:01:35]  #topic GCI
[08:01:44]  We are entering the last week of GCI
[08:01:57]  It has been really busy from the start
[08:02:27]  great
[08:02:34]  I'm here
[08:02:47]  more than 500 students are participating
[08:03:08]  i think the quantity and quality of coding is substantially 
down from last year, and i think that is reflection of the number of mentors 
who haven't made comprehensive contributions.
[08:03:33]  but then, i'm only measuring pull requests and commits.  not 
the stuff that generates nothing.
[08:04:03]  I think is it less about mentoring and more about the 
tasks we made available
[08:04:07]  is there a comprehensive list of GCI tasks that have been 
worked on and completed, outside of the GCI web UI?
[08:04:17]  it seems there is a transparency problem on that front
[08:04:30]  That is a structural problem.
[08:04:50]  Not sure how to fix it
[08:05:04]  MrBIOS: as it is a competition, there is a private group 
that has access, and limited review of task definitions.  the more people who 
have access, the greater risk of solutions being sold in advance to students.
[08:05:19]  But I didn't get much input from devel when making 
the initial task list before the contest began
[08:05:38]  I understand.
[08:05:40]  Its also a problem
[08:05:41]  hmmm
[08:06:06]  when does GCI wrap up?
[08:06:12]  One week
[08:06:34]  Around 5 days
[08:06:54]  It would be good to organize the tasks in different 
buckets and see if we have data that support the most successful ones
[08:06:55]  The bottom line, somewhat correlated with Quozl 's 
observation, is that the areas where there are active mentors get the most 
attention.
[08:07:06]  Lots of work done on Music Blocks, for example
[08:07:11]  and Sugarizer.
[08:07:12]  great
[08:08:06]  has any work been done on Core Sugar during GCI?
[08:08:13]  very little
[08:09:01]  none on Sugar, some metadata fixes for activities, some API 
changes.
[08:09:11]  To be honest, I got caught by the earlier dates of 
the program this year. Not a good match with my work schedule.
[08:10:45]  thanks for the update, i'm fine to 

[Sugar-devel] GCI 2018 update

[Anmol Mishra]

Sorry, I will be busy during the meeting for today's meeting. I would like
to thank Walter and Ibiam for making me a mentor, it's been a great
experience for me. I made mistakes but Walter and ibiam kept me showing the
required path. As per the update, I tried my best to give feedback to
students as soon as possible and kept myself busy with fewer mentors count
task. In total, I have interacted with 45 different tasks.
