| == 2011 Board Statement == I have been a member of HCoop since 2005; I wrote the Domtool Emacs mode, was involved in the 2009 migration project, started the hcoopstatus Identica group, and am [[http://hcoop.net/~bpt/hcoop/portal.html|redesigning the member portal]]. My platform: * Expand to 150–250 members during the next year and end the pledge system. * Move HCoop accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a similar credit union. * Implement a strong environmental policy when we are financially able to; purchase carbon offsets to compensate for our use of nonrenewable energy. * Document development processes for our custom software. Recruit more volunteers for system administration tasks. Consider applying to be a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2012. * Last but not least, I will print HCoop T-shirts, finishing the project that NathanKennedy began in 2005. (: == 2010 Board Statement == I have been a member of HCoop since 2005; I wrote the Domtool Emacs mode, was involved in the 2009 migration project, started the hcoopstatus Identica group, and am redesigning the member portal. My platform: * Plan to expand to 150--250 members during the next year and then end the pledge system once we can do so without increasing dues significantly. * Move HCoop accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a similar credit union. * Implement a strong environmental policy when we are financially able to; purchase carbon offsets to compensate for our use of nonrenewable energy. * Document development processes for our custom software and recruit a fourth admin. Also consider making it possible for admins to delegate certain tasks to trusted non-admins. * Last but not least, I will have HCoop T-shirts printed, finishing the project that NathanKennedy began in 2005. (: == OpenID server == Would it make sense for HCoop to be an [[http://openid.net/|OpenID]] provider? [[http://pypi.python.org/pypi/gracie/0.2.6|Gracie]] is a server that authenticates users using PAM, and it's in Debian. We could allow users to register their identity URIs using domtool, as well as supporting `http://hcoop.net/~user` automatically. |

| Gitweb URIs: Repo.or.cz uses cleaner URIs than gitweb's defaults -- for example, `/w/foo.git/commit/abcdef` for viewing an individual commit. We should patch our gitweb script to provide something similar. It might also be useful to host hgweb and darcsweb instances. At least one user wants to host mercurial repositories, and several of us use darcs. Next meeting: sign the [[http://www.internetdeclaration.org/|Declaration of Internet Freedom]]. Also probably register as a stakeholder in GNU/consensus -- it's unclear what direction it will take but GNU-approved social networking projects are probably worth tracking Set up an independent MeetBot instance. Fix moinmoin headings somehow. Many pages use H1 for section titles which makes the outline (in the html5 sense) nonsensical and contradicts w3c recommendations Fix defaults that lead to serving the same resource from multiple URIs. In particular, don't serve files from `public_html` from domains by default, and use permanent redirects from the `www` subdomain to the bare domain name or vice versa Poll members about what they would like to do with free social networking services (e.g., ostatus, mediagoblin); what approaches they would prefer for vanity domains vs. central installations; use by non-members (e.g. will their friends want to use their installations, would their friends join hcoop, etc.); semi-managed installations vs. manual individual administration; ... Implement portal redesign: http://hcoop.net/~bpt/tmp/portal.html Go to FOSS Fair: https://opensource.ncsu.edu/FossFair2013 Research registered agents; Incorp requires that we use a proprietary, Windows-only Silverlight program to pay the annual fee Find out whether we can accept copyright assignments Pass [[https://lists.hcoop.net/pipermail/hcoop-misc/2008-February/000082.html|ntk's anti-FISA policy]] Policy/guideline ideas: Licensing policy: (A)GPLv3-compatible for software, the usual free content licenses for other things? We may want an exception for logos, or just protect them as trademarks like Debian does. The content license(s) should ideally be GPL-compatible since we probably have some "content" that is GPL (like domtool docstrings). Relicensing the wiki may be difficult, but there are probably not many (15, 20?) contributors of substantial amounts of currently-relevant text, excluding homepages. Internal writing guidelines: use gender-inclusive language; promote only FreeSoftware officially, and ask that people consider FreeSoftware principles and the SevenPrinciples when officially recommending a service or organization; write "GNU/Linux" instead of "Linux" when referring to the entire OS |
