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:

OpenID server

Would it make sense for HCoop to be an OpenID provider? 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.

*scratch*

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 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

Sometime this year: start a Planet HCoop again! http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/

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

Internal design guidelines: choose a basic color palette for websites; select common fonts

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
