Squeak Oversight Board
minutes – 8/20/12
Attending: Chris Muller,
Colin Putney, Chris Cunnington, Bert Freudenberg, Randal Schwartz
- details about Softlayer
being Squeak's next host are being worked through, mostly by the
lawyers on both sides (it's great to have the Software Freedom
Conservancy look out after us)
- a review of the teams
system is underway with an aim to update the teams, close mailing
lists for discontinued teams: Release team (while there is a
release manager we discuss releases on the main dev list, not a
separate one), modules (should be discussed on squeak-dev, too),
possibly the News team (which could be merged with the Web team),
and invite new people
- documentation was
discussed a good deal at this meeting: ideas about what to do with
the Squeak wiki, whether to use a new wiki, putting documentation
on websites, or having it in the image as comments or searchable
text were explored
- Squeak By Example [1]
was discussed as a good book that could be updated. As sources are
on GitHub [2], forking them and updating them looks like a good
idea, which would make contributing really easy
- Colin suggested hosting
open Google+ hangouts for members of the community during the
weeks the Squeak Oversight Board does not meet. Anybody could
come, ask questions, share ideas, etc.
