+20:05:50 bit of a mouthful!
+20:06:28 I'm hoping we have enough people here today
+20:06:43 I'm trying to base things off of past meetings
+20:07:11 so uh..
+20:07:26 First of all, do we have anyone from long enough ago to recap the changes (big ones, notable ons)
+20:07:26 since the last meeting?
+20:07:33 (It was Sept 8)
+20:09:05 unlikely atm... could try a highlight all tho
+20:09:24 Hear ye, Hear ye!
+20:09:27 * asdfsdafsdafsd pounds gavel
+20:09:35 I'm thinking maybe KillYourTV knows a little
+20:09:53 I was told welt could be here too, so hopefully he can wave at some time
+20:09:56 (no sign of zzz either)
+20:10:09 This will be somewhat awkward without most of the team
+20:10:23 The honorable asdfsdafsdafsd is now presiding
+20:10:25 * weltende@freenode waves
+20:10:37 :)
+20:10:37 Okay
+20:10:48 here
+20:10:51 So, first of all, as some of you may know, this is the first meeting in 2 years
+20:11:04 And even the last meeting was specalized
+20:11:08 specialized*
+20:11:30 I'm planning on booting up regular meetings to catch up on progress, etc, even if there is no big topic to discuss
+20:12:01 wrt "change", I'm contemplating taking up Project Manager
+20:12:04 or at least some sort of co-ordinator
+20:12:28 I'm proud of the progress that was made with dr|z3d although sadly, I don't think he's ready to join in -dev again just yet (speak, even)
+20:12:54 I can't comment on progress from the last 2 years since I haven't been here for that long
+20:12:57 If somebody else could, I'd appreciate it
+20:13:04
+20:13:18 might have to wait for netsplit to unsplit
+20:13:25 might be a good idea :-/
+20:13:36 hehe
+20:13:51 While we wait, what happened dr|z3d?
+20:13:54 what happened with*
+20:13:57 * nom pokes the intertubes
+20:14:13 There we go.
+20:14:20 Let me paste what they missed.
+20:15:42 this is painful haha
+20:16:09 ok, netsplit folk: http://pastethis.i2p/show/2297/
+20:16:12 Title: Paste #2297 | LodgeIt! (at pastethis.i2p)
+20:16:12 <+dg> I can't comment on progress from the last 2 years since I haven't been here for that long
+20:16:15 <+dg> If somebody else could, I'd appreciate it
+20:16:15 <+dg>
+20:16:27 LaughingBuddah: alright
+20:16:53 Basically, after dr|z3d was kicked out for a long period, etc etc, I raised the point that he should be unmuted in -dev as we're all on the same team here, etc
+20:17:00 He doesn't seem to be up to joining us again yet though
+20:17:06 Complication: KillYourTV badger darrob dg gatekeeper iRelay Meeh postman RN_ Shinobiwan slow sponge str4d albat asdfsdafsdafsd Astral2012_1 Biotrophy blitzkrieg christoph cipher__ dr4wd3- eight_ joepie95 k0e kytv|away LaughingBuddah lezz luminosus MTN nom operhiem1 PrivacyHawk psi SanguineRose soundwave thursday tycho usr w8rabbit woox2k Xtothec zzz meeting time people
+20:17:14 Nono, I was wondering why he was kicked out
+20:17:21 I wanted him to have the choice to in any case, even if he didn't *want to right now*
+20:17:21 Oh
+20:17:28 There were disagreements with the team a while back
+20:17:35 I'm not here, I am invisible
+20:17:38 I see
+20:17:38 It turned into quite a big disagreement after small ones added up
+20:17:53 It's lead to a pissing contest and a division of the community to an extent :-P
+20:17:56 not nice
+20:18:03 Alright. Proceed :)
+20:18:06 ha! you may be invisible but we can hear you :P
+20:18:17 I'll give the $person a few more seconds to appear..
+20:18:20 lies, you can not read what I am thinking right now!
+20:18:27 * dg sits awkwardly
+20:18:44 dg: yeah.. in dr|z3d and !dr|z3d mostly *cough*
+20:18:48 Clearly nobody is wishing to recite history.. heh
+20:18:51 * nom lounges awkwardly while reading SanguineRose's mind
+20:18:57 Okay
+20:19:16 meh, figure out history later when the historian decides to show up
+20:19:23 so
+20:19:23 (1) - network health
+20:19:45 From what I've seen on the stats, we're doing okay on that front, although since the Russians left (rusleaks disappeared in general), there's been a drop
+20:19:52 Returning to pre-rus levels (hah)
+20:20:05 Hopefully zzz is available to comment on how we're doing on this front..
+20:20:29 imo network health is opaque, but based just on netsplits it could be better...
+20:21:06 it's shaky but kytv and I last night found the bug introduced in 0.9.2 causing all the trouble
+20:21:21 zab and I have doubts about something so simple causing the issues though
+20:21:27 * nom :| at timing
+20:21:30 ugh... split
+20:21:36 >.>
+20:21:48 zzz: what was the bug?
+20:21:54 i guess that's the network speaking to us
+20:22:13 we accidentally cut the capacity of the network in half.
+20:22:53 haha
+20:23:04 * dg didn't see much of a difference on the tunnel success rates but you seem a lot more confident about it fixing things
+20:23:07 lol rather unfortunate bug
+20:23:14 ^
+20:23:21 I suppose we're doing alright on that front
+20:23:44 it's a network thing. You can't fix the network by just upgrading yourself.
+20:23:50 of course one person upgrading to -10 will fix ALL the problems ;)
+20:23:59 I can't comment for (1a) (IRC) because I've obviously been unable to contact badger
+20:23:59 bah, I was too slow
+20:23:59 KillYourTV: of course, haven't you heard of Java music?
+20:24:02 *magic
+20:24:02 pfft
+20:24:13 (and i've been unable to contact postman, I was too late to get ech too..)
+20:24:17 so that was a mess up on my part
+20:24:51 (1b) then.
+20:24:55 "
+20:24:58 (1b) - Growth (how to make i2p grow more, developments with Russia (how do we get ourselves out there? outreach to big rus-sites?)) "
+20:25:01 - if (style.equals("udp"))
+20:25:01 + if (style.equals("SSU"))
+20:25:01 Pretty broard
+20:25:04 *** eight_ is now known as eight
+20:25:07 ? that the bug?
+20:25:24 (and there's a variable changed)
+20:25:36 thatsit
+20:25:58 What was the commit excuse for that, anyway?
+20:25:58 (in 0.9.2)
+20:26:59 regarding russian users, I think a big question is how is the #i2p-ru channel here doing? Are the russian users getting good support as compared to when english speakers come here and receive help
+20:28:13 Do we have someone familiar with i2p that speaks russian?
+20:28:24 Maybe even a dev?
+20:29:02 * nom wanted to learn russian at one point, but never found the time...
+20:29:21 user 'slow' fits there
+20:29:32 and on a sidenote, german looks to be the 3rd largest country after russia and USA
+20:29:35 slow hangs out there, right?
+20:29:35 * nom thinks we need to go hunting for a russian and english speaking user who is dev inclined
+20:29:38 (and he's nearly always in #ru)
+20:29:53 nvm guess we found one
+20:30:22 GOod
+20:31:48 wrt growth generally, i would say working out all the network stability / performance bugs is a good step
+20:32:09 also more content = more users = more content, sharing is caring and all that
+20:32:28 What he said ^
+20:33:02 #i2p-ru is dead
+20:33:02 zab is able to convert RU->EN but not EN->RU
+20:33:16 btw, #ru has users, #i2p-ru does not
+20:33:31 while working out bugs is great
+20:33:42 We've certainly got a community based issue and I have not the slightest clue how to solve it
+20:33:49 so yah.. everyone upload their media stashes to postman, and run high cap routers
+20:34:13 i wish it was that simple
+20:34:27 I guess this kind of includs IRL meetings
+20:34:34 We've got a bunch of i2p-folk going to CCC this year
+20:34:52 I think an "i2p workshop" is the best way to utilize this since it is too late to book a talk
+20:35:02 lol yah increasing content is never simple, but good to remind people
+20:35:18 dg: suggest, maybe you can talk to eche|on and postman about combining those two channels (redirect to one of them)
+20:35:18 i2p is barely out there like Tor
+20:35:53 k0e: noted, will look into it later, thanks :)
+20:36:16 re irl community meetings, at conferences and such, yah there needs to be more of it. ideally with the organizers staying connected to those of us back home in i2p, with videos and blogs, etc
+20:36:55 Not sure how we could reach out to the russians, but someone could try speaking to the censored websites
+20:36:59 prominent ones which are controversial, etc
+20:37:06 Sadly, rusleaks is absolutely gone
+20:37:09 So we can't rely on that
+20:37:34 I tried reaching out to the an*on folk but I was unable to get on their networks anonymously so that was a little redundant
+20:38:21 Let's move on
+20:38:36 i don't know about the reaching out, dg. does tor do that? this going from door to door advertising doesn't seem right.
+20:38:43 Okay.
+20:39:04 darrob: They don't do the door-to-door, and us doing that officially isn't right either. I was going to just encourage them a little.
+20:39:22 LaughingBuddah: sure.
+20:39:29 Doc improvements would help a lot.
+20:39:41 * dg was thinking about that earlier
+20:39:44 I wasn't sure on the standards of them
+20:40:51 yah doc improvements, and also some rigorous security testing could go a long way towards user growth
+20:41:25 actually, we missed out on security testing due to lack of recent docs
+20:41:35 of course, we couldn't have done anything since doc improvement took a while but yeah
+20:42:09 Right now, the only way to say i2p is safer than something heavily audited e.g Tor is to read all the code + design yourself
+20:42:15 That's fine for those who are wise in that area but bs for users
+20:42:25 i2p has had little academic research too
+20:42:35 imo at least, most users of this kinda thing want to get into the details of how it works and how secure it is. the threadmodel page is useful, but their not the results of extensive testing
+20:42:46 Of course, you can't exactly force academics to write papers on i2p..
+20:42:57 nom: I agree.
+20:43:19 dg: that's not really true anymore imho
+20:43:38 hm?
+20:43:45 lol .... i suppose we could try to blackmail some grad students into writing papers on i2p \o/
+20:43:55 $5 wrench
+20:44:08 ah.. just got an mail of an talk about i2p @ athens cryptoparty #0
+20:44:24 oh, nice. I was wondering about Cryptoparty
+20:44:27 Tor has been heavily featured at them
+20:44:41 dg: there are a few papers about i2p.. (remember that tum i2p paper for example? ;)
+20:44:50 I doubt many academics will write papers or advocate I2P.... they're all in league with the globalists
+20:45:44 asdfsdafsdafsd: academics won't promote anything except their own software they are working on atm ;-)
+20:45:48 i2p, not so much
+20:46:28 The only papers I've seen about i2p are the french and correlation with headers/clocks
+20:46:48 moving on
+20:46:55 weltende... exactly
+20:47:02 "(3) - Discussion regarding merging current fux with trunk "
+20:47:14 soooo.... gsoc? seems like security testing would be a good thing for that
+20:47:17 I'm not sure if anyone can give a real answer to this apart from zzz
+20:47:35 *** str4d is now known as str4d_afk
+20:47:46 for those of you not aware, fux is a branch of i2p dev'd by str4d among others with user interfaces improvements. Theme improvements, that kind of thing.
+20:47:49 nom: nobody wants to do gsoc
+20:47:56 *** str4d_afk is now known as str4d
+20:48:13 nom: zzz is on trac as a mentor but he apparently doesn't want to have a student
+20:48:24 sorry dg, all I know is 2-3 months old. last I heard, they were forking?
+20:48:27 (not sure if correct, that's what I was told)
+20:48:43 wrong
+20:48:58 no kidding, probably why it hasn't got done, but its a resource that gives access to the kind of people that could actually do a security assessment
+20:49:24 zzz: There was some discussion of a fork, it's kind of died down now as some people have had a change of heart. Not sure what's going to be going on there, I don't think anyone is. Regarding the current changes though, I feel they could be somewhat beneficial. Nothing massive/feature breaking in there, however.
+20:49:34 zzz: also, wrong?
+20:49:38 I am happy to mentor for GSoC
+20:50:09 nom: Yup.
+20:50:21 str4d: We could apply for next year, the application for 2010(?) is still up on trac.
+20:50:25 re: gsoc: wrong as in I'm happy to help but I'm not going to be in charge and not going to do it myself.
+20:50:43 totally different to what i heard
+20:50:53 key word: heard, I suppose
+20:51:05 relevant trac page: http://trac.i2p2.i2p/wiki/gsoc
+20:51:32 dg re: fux, you're asking the wrong guy. I have no recent info.
+20:51:39 imo fork is both exactly what is happening and exactly what is not happening, zzz you 'control' the official i2p.i2p branch in that you give out commit keys, but theres always gonna be people/groups writing their own features/code into i2p, if theres no interest in merging it stays a 'fork' but otherwise its not really
+20:52:01 zzz: generally asking if you'd be ok with merging some of the themes, etc
+20:52:04 AFAIK there is nothing stopping mentors being anon, but we need a contactable liason (not sure if they must be non-anon) and some tax form as an organization.
+20:52:23 Right.
+20:52:37 I'm fine with being a liason but I'm sure a few people would be.
+20:52:56 Tax form .. ugh
+20:53:05 We will need some people to agree to be the face of i2p
+20:53:24 IIRC there was a USA-based one, or a Foreign-based one.
+20:53:31 sadly we can't avoid that, LaughingBuddah..
+20:53:59 I don't want to be the guy trying to force people to give up anonymity and get up on stages but
+20:54:18 We do need someone who wants to and can fulfill the job
+20:54:41 dg the last I looked at it was months ago. It was a big grab bag of stuff and I had some objections. Nobody has since asked me to look again - or spilt out the bad from the good - or given me any updates - or mentioned any progress about addressing my issues.. Unless that happens I have no update for you and i assume they are either working on it or forking.
+20:54:49 (Might not have been tax, but it was something financial)
+20:54:52 Not sure what was done in 2010 for that.
+20:55:19 zzz: Alright, if I can get them to talk about it etc, I may be able to get you an update.
+20:55:27 just a note
+20:55:30 http://trac.i2p2.i2p/wiki/gsoc/ideas
+20:55:37 seems quite interesting
+20:55:40 Title: gsoc/ideas – I2P (at trac.i2p2.i2p)
+20:55:44 so I repeat, you are asking the wrong guy. If you want to know about status, ask the guys working on it, not me.
+20:56:07 I was asking if you'd be okay with merging is all, if they co-operated.
+20:56:19 I felt that the changes could benefit i2p somewhat.
+20:56:34 welcome psi
+20:56:41 ??
+20:56:48 dev meeting
+20:56:55 ok
+20:57:36 The application for GSOC seems solid
+20:57:39 Could possibly reuse it
+20:57:39 zzz: what were the issues you needed addressed?
+20:59:54 There was an image in a dark theme that has since been replaced. Were there any other major issues?
+21:00:17 ah yes... the assange character should've been removed for now
+21:00:20 s/for/by
+21:00:35 What's wrong with Assange? :P
+21:00:46 the main thing in remember is regressions in legibility and color choices, esp. in snark. But it's been months since I looked at it
+21:00:49
