06:01:13 FrankW: lmaure1: here
06:02:43 ticheler: frankw: Ha Frank
06:02:44 lmaure1: FrankW : could it be possible for you to be session chair with me on Wednesday Sept 13 2006 for the plenary session ?
06:03:15 lmaure1: that's mean, I will introduce the conference in the name of the local committee
06:04:02 lmaure1: and you could help me to present each keynote speaker and Lightning talks
06:04:22 FrankW: OK, I help chair the plenary session with you.
06:04:33 FrankW: OK, I *could* help chair the plenary session with you.
06:04:33 lmaure1: we could make a 2 man show :- )
06:04:40 FrankW: :- )
06:05:01 lmaure1: many thanks, if I have time..... I will prepare something this week-end....
06:05:32 FrankW: Perhaps we could get together for a bit on Tuesday to prepare.
06:05:41 lmaure1: very good proposition
06:05:58 ticheler: FrankW: did you receive my incubation submission for GeoNetwork? ( know you're busy, just to know if it arrived )
06:06:07 lmaure1: for info, all plenaries will be on live on the net ; )
06:06:27 FrankW: ticheler: No, I didn't see it least night. I'll dig into the email list archive and see why it didn't get to me ( and verify it is captured )
06:06:44 FrankW: lmaure1: live o the net? In what sense?
06:07:13 ticheler: I send it to the incubator address. Shall I send it again directly to you?
06:07:16 lmaure1: streaming direclty on the web site => we are just making some test, but It should be ok...
06:07:39 FrankW: ticheler: let me take a look. What address did you send it to exactly?
06:07:57 FrankW: lmaure1: streaming audio? streaming video?
06:08:04 ticheler: Have to look in my email. 1 sec.
06:08:14 lmaure1: streaming video of course ; )
06:08:26 FrankW: Cool, Cameron Shorter should be pleased.
06:08:33 FrankW: He was hoping something like that might be possible.
06:08:46 lmaure1: and all other conferences will be recorded and available some weeks after
06:09:08 FrankW: Wow, you guys are amazing.
06:09:35 ticheler: application@incubator.osgeo.org
06:09:54 FrankW: ticheler: thats the right address.
06:10:49 FrankW: ticheler: Hmm, the list shows no email in the archive.
06:11:00 ticheler: Shall I try again?
06:11:03 FrankW: Could you resend to the same address and cc: me?
06:11:11 ticheler: Yes, will do now
06:11:31 ticheler: Please copy the geonetwork-users@lists.sourceforge.net when replying.
06:11:48 ticheler: Don't want to duplicate the email to that list and it was cc'd
06:12:25 ticheler: I use your pobox account?
06:12:35 FrankW: ticheler: yes, please
06:13:11 FrankW: ticheler: You will be at FOSS4G? I'd love to see a demo of geonetwork there and get some background.
06:13:21 FrankW: I think one of my sessions conflicts with your presentation though.
06:13:36 : * FrankW hits forehead. Of course you will be there, you are doing a presentation.
06:13:42 ticheler: Yes, we'll have a workshop and a presentation
06:13:52 ticheler: and demo...
06:14:01 ticheler: No problem :- )
06:14:04 FrankW: Ah cool, I'll try and aim for your demo session.
06:14:51 ticheler: demofest seems quite stretched out so that should be fine although I'm not sure I'll be sitting there all the time :- )
06:16:01 FrankW: I'm sure we can get together.
06:16:14 FrankW: I'll be trying to be at the osgeo booth quite a bit.
06:16:37 FrankW: Arnulf and I will be doing a presentation on incubation late Friday morning that you might also want to attend if you can.
06:16:42 FrankW: A good background on the process.
06:18:48 ticheler: :-( I have a meeting ( the only one outside of the conference! ) at 11 that morning...
06:18:48 ticheler: and at 12 there's the metadata BOF
06:18:59 ticheler: Guess I have to change plans...
06:19:47 FrankW: Doh! Well attending the presentation isn't critical, though it could be helpful.
06:24:24 FrankW: ticheler: I'm embarrassed to see that the application@incubator.osgeo.org mailing list was set to ignore email from people who weren't subscribed!
06:24:37 ticheler: :- )
06:25:02 ticheler: Am I the first to submit and fail?
06:25:12 ticheler: 8 )
06:25:32 FrankW: ticheler: I may never know.
06:25:47 FrankW: It is hard to say how many people have sent email and are patiently waiting for a reply that will never happen.
06:26:03 : * FrankW curses obtuse mailing list setup mechanisms.
06:26:15 ticheler: :\
06:27:53 ticheler: Cool, so that's solved now!
06:28:08 ticheler: I wanted to be before the FOSS4G storm ;- )
06:28:46 FrankW: ticheler: OK, I have the application. I'm going to distribute it to the incubator mailing list for information purposes, but other than that no action will take place for a while.
06:29:11 FrankW: Basically the next step is for the incubator to consider accepting it into incubation for which we will also need to assign a mentor.
06:29:20 FrankW: And we would then pass that recommendation on to the board.
06:29:45 ticheler: Yes, no problem, I'm not stressed for time
06:29:48 FrankW: The incubator folks will likely need to hear some more about GeoNetwork before we make such a decision.
06:29:58 ticheler: We have a lot to organize first
06:30:16 ticheler: But its good to not wait too long since all commits now have been done through us
06:30:43 ticheler: But I know some new developers are coming to the project and will soon also ask to be able to commit
06:31:16 ticheler: It would just make it easier when those commit under the new scheme
06:33:23 FrankW: Agreed.
06:33:38 FrankW: Some of the "good practices" are things you can start to put in place even before starting incubation.
07:02:49 ticheler: Yes, working hard to get more and more good practices going :- )
07:03:10 ticheler: Is OSGEO thinking of supporting projects with JIRA and Confluence?
07:03:36 ticheler: The Java stack is using it a lot and we will also soon I think...
07:03:45 ticheler: That would make migration easy
07:06:06 ticheler: FrankW: sorry leaving now. put some questions re OSGEO, but we can discuss that next week.
07:06:47 FrankW: ticheler: on JIRA and Confluence, the answer is yes.
07:06:55 FrankW: And we can talk again later.
07:09:03 ticheler: excellent!
07:09:06 ticheler: ciao!
07:09:29 ticheler: have a good trip to Europe if you're not here yet
09:56:41 pona: t'est toujours lmaure1 où est ton fonatôme?
09:57:18 lmaure1: Hi everybody, here I Lausanne, we are looking forward to seeing you all on Monday or Tuesday for this wonderful event we have organizing for you :-P
