15:00 < jrandom> 2) Syndie dev status

15:00 < jrandom> 3) iToopie

15:00 < jrandom> 4) ???

15:00 < jrandom> 0) hi

15:00 * jrandom waves

15:00 < jrandom> weekly status notes posted up at http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2006-December/001321.html

15:01 < jrandom> (almost two hours before the meeting, too! :)

15:01 < jrandom> ok, lets jump on in to 1) net status

15:01 < jrandom> things are going pretty well, no big change on this front

15:02 * jrandom has been connected to irc here for 20 days now, too (a record, i believe)

15:03 < jrandom> not much more to add on this front though atm

15:03 < jrandom> so, if there's nothing else on it, lets jump forward to 2) syndie dev status

15:04 < jrandom> progress continues here, with more bits and bobs becoming workable

15:04 < jrandom> its still quite rough though... "utilitarian", but graphically utilitarian ;)

15:05 < jrandom> the alpha isn't imminent though, but i hope to have it ready soon

15:07 < jrandom> in any case, more info as it comes about :)

15:08 < jrandom> ok, lets jump briefly on over to 3) iToopie

15:08 < jrandom> as mentioned in the notes, Thanks y'all! :)

15:08 < jrandom> ok, continuing on in rapid fire to 4) ???

15:08 < jrandom> anyone have anything they'd like to bring up for the meeting?

15:10 < jrandom> (its probably been a year or two since our last 10 minute meeting, but perhaps that's for the best)

15:10 <+fox> <Ch0Hag> Hey wow. Totally by accident I am actually present for an I2P meeting.

15:11 <+fox> <Ch0Hag> Hi mum!

15:11 <+fox> <Ch0Hag> This is going in the logs right? :)

15:11 < jrandom> heh yeah ch0 ;)

15:12 <+fox> <Ch0Hag> Because of course my mum reads I2P meeting logs...

15:12 < burl> i was going to ask about the licensing but i just read the answer on www.i2p (why not gpl?)

15:13 < jrandom> gpl kills babies

15:13 * jrandom ducks

15:13 < burl> i have to print them out for my mum. she's not very good with computers

15:13 < jrandom> heheh

15:14 < burl> i've been reading all about the free software movement recently. ethically it seems bang on

15:14 < burl> closed source is evil :)

15:14 < jrandom> good, evil, they're all the same. what matters here is that closed source is /insecure/ ;)

15:15 < jrandom> (syndie license summary @ http://syndie.i2p.net/faq.html#license less religious license info for i2p @ http://www.i2p.net/licenses )

15:15 < burl> yeah, that did cross my mind too. if some evil company stole syndie and made a "better" closed version, who'd trust it?

15:16 < jrandom> you can't steal whats free

15:16 < burl> yeah, but i mean made changes to the source and didn't let you see them

15:17 < jrandom> changes to /your copy/ of the source. my copy of the source is still exactly as it was before, and still exactly as free ;)

15:17 < jrandom> but, yeah, i understand. disagree, but understand

15:18 < jrandom> all things considered, open source>>closed source, and while gpl has some nasty limits, its sufficient for many things, and open enough for security

15:18 < burl> because no-one would trust the closed version so it could never take over in popularity

15:20 < jrandom> aye

15:21 < jrandom> licence rants are always good ways to fill up 10m of meeting logs ;)

15:21 < jrandom> ok, anyone have anything else for the meeting?

15:23 <+fox> <Ch0Hag> Well if you need more meeting time - why Java?

15:23 <+fox> <Ch0Hag> I mean ewww!

15:23 < jrandom> !thwap

15:24 * jrandom winds up

15:24 * jrandom *baf*s the meeting closed
