[IAEP] [Sugar-devel] [SLOBS] Meeting Reminder

[Caryl Bigenho]

I was unable to sign on last month. It would be helpful to have complete instructions along with a link available in a prominent location well in advance of the meeting time.

Thanks!

It has nothing to do with soas, f28 or f29; you will see the same failure on every system. You must register to test.

It is impssible to login to sugar irc on f28 and f29 soas due to these registration requrements....

At the moment the issue with Freenode requires all of us to register before we can speak.

This impacts new people.  It makes their joining as complicated as any other service with registration requirements.

As D. Joe has observed, if we had our people watching, we could notice new people to let them speak.  We would need to enable this, and somehow cover the different time zones.  As we don’t have enough coverage now to answer the simplest questions from the people we have, we would need some commitment.  That would be the next step in that plan.

I don’t know of any other service we could use that doesn’t require some sort of registration.

We might set up an IRC server ourselves, but then we take on the defence problem that Freenode does for us.

We do have a Jabber server, but I don’t know if it has been attacked in the same way.

We will be meeting tomorrow (Friday, 5 October) at 20UTC [1] (4PM in Boston) on irc.freenode.net<http://irc.freenode.net/> #sugar-meeting (See [2]).

Note that there has been a SPAM issue on Freenode of late (See the email from James I have forwarded below). We should discuss potential solutions.

Also on the agenda:

* GSoC travel
* GCI 2018
* [your topic here]

regards.
