Hello,
We we very pleased to have a developer meeting last week, on Wednesday
January 11th. It took place in a bar near Wengo, and i think everyone
has enjoyed the place. The goal was to initiate a monthly OpenWengo's
developers meeting. Although there wasn't anybody external to Wengo this
time, we hope to welcome external contributors to such an event in the
not-so-far future.
Here is a small transcript from this meeting. You might come to the
conclusion that we haven't been that effective for a two hours meeting
but we promise to do better next time ;-).
Present people were : adrien, jgilli, jleleu, krp, mstute, pbernery,
tanguy, vadim.
The topics discussed, in chronological order were :
== Move efforts to NG ==
An email was sent on January 3rd explaining reasons for transition. See
this post for further details :
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.voip.wengophone.devel/486 .
== Community response ==
External contributors are mostly struggling with compilation issues, but
some very interesting patches were also submitted. There are currently
287 subscribers to development mailing list, with a 30 msgs/day average.
Our IRC channel regularly has 20+ people signed on. We must continue to
communicate on initiatives via ML,Wiki and IRC.
== SVN & Trac ==
We talked about Mercurial, Darcs and several other decentralized VCS,
because the trunk is broken most of the time, and is hardly usable by
anyone. We all agree SVN is good enough for now. However, we should use
it as revisions tracker, not as file repository. Each commit is means of
communications to community and external developers. Use of tags,
tickets, roadmap and anything else should be done with care to make it
easy for external developers to understand what to do and how to do it.
== Upstream patches ==
Several patches for upstream submission are in development :
- we talked with Curl's maintainer for inclusion of our patch, and after
several e-mails exchanges it seems we still need to polish it before it
is ready for inclusion.
- we generated an oSIP2 patch that will be submitted soon. Hopefully, it
will be integrated quickly.
== New OpenWengo website ==
The new OpenWengo website's design is finished. Much content is yet to
be written. Target delivery of pure HTML slips to Friday the 20th,
before Adrien leaves for California. We'll still need to make it dynamic
thanks to YAWL.
== New claim ==
“Freedom to Call, Freedom to Code” has been elected as team’s favorite,
because it emphasizes "code", which is a good way to show our commitment
to it.
== External representation ==
Upcoming conferences are:
- Adrien @ emerging telephony (San-Francisco)
- Jgilli @ Linux solutions (Paris CNIT, end of January)
- Tanguy @ FOSDEM (Bruxelles, end of February).
We'd be glad to meet you at one of this event, so if you're there,
please come to say hello ;-).
Thank you very much for your attention! Comments and feedback welcome,
as usual.
All the best,
--
Julien Gilli
