I am truly sorry for not participating today. I knew the meeting was
today, and I anticipated having a final word on how we'll handle CLAs,
but I was certain that the meeting would take place at 22:00 (local
time); which is exactly one hour after the meeting actually took
place.. This has happened to me before with an idpy-call and at this
point I am sure I need to find a way to cater for these timezone
differences.
0. Agenda bash
Given the level of attendance, we’ll likely reuse this agenda for our next call. Heather
to send out a doodle poll to find a time in January.
Again, I'm sorry we have to do this.
1. IPR
- GÉANT and IPR (What is the relationship between IPR and the GEANT project? The
default clause in the consortium agreement is that GEANT holds the IPR on behalf of the
consortium. Need to see how that would play out if that means handing the IPR over to a
third party. Action item for Christos to follow up on.)
From Christos: Regarding the IPR, I have discussed this in GÉANT. Unfortunately I cannot
provide a final response yet. The topic is in the hands of the GÉANT Execs at the moment.
I am nagging them to get it resolved as soon as possible.
- Draft Note Well (see email sent 11 December 2018)
From Christos: Regarding the draft note, it looks fine to me. Point 3 looks like a very
high level code of conduct. [It] is good that we something like this.
I think the draft should be added to the governance docs (or another
repo to collect these common parts shared between the projects) on
github and iterate over it to make it better. I would suggest to also
ask a lawyer about the language used and wether it should be more
generic or specific. I am making some very generic comments bellow
without strong feelings about any:
Identity Python governance pages and in the GitHub
Terms of Service
Add the relevant links
in the GitHub Terms of Service
Should we
emphasise on the exact paragraph that relates to CLA?
you must disclose that fact,
change to: you are
obliged to disclose that fact
or not participate in the discussion
change to:
or restrain from participating in any discussion or process
about this.
This can be omitted.
- Next steps?
2. Review the criteria for bring in new projects to idpy (Practical use case: evolution
of pyFF)
-
https://github.com/IdentityPython/IdentityPython.github.io/wiki/Adding-and-…
From Christos: Regarding the criteria for bringing new project to idpy, I do not see
mentioning anywhere that the software has to be open source. Are all open source licenses
OK? and what about the topic of IPR?
This is a good point. It is an implicit assumption. I had written the
original form of this document, and obviously didn't feel the need to
have it stated clearly at the time. I agree we should add it.
There is a relevant section on the Governance docs:
https://github.com/IdentityPython/Governance/blob/master/DRAFT-idpy-statute…
This document could also be part of the governance (or that other-new
repo) on github.
3. TIIME?
- idpy Developers meeting @ TIIME, Monday, 11 February 2018
4. AOB
Offering a junior developer- Chris has a junior developer who will start on January 15
assigned to work exclusively on idpy project.
This is great news. Thanks.
Discuss tagging releases to make this more acceptable
for people who are looking for mature products
Yes; this is something that is standard practice for the majority of
open source projects. A tagged commit can also be automatically
converted to a github-release. For pysaml2 there is a release guide[0]
which includes how to tag a commit when making a new release. Note,
that git has two types of tags; lightweight tags are only labels on
commits while annotated tags[1] (which is what we want) are actual git
objects.
