It's Tuesday again. Here [00:04] you are at the Chaos weekly community [00:05] call. Really great to see everybody. I [00:08] know I say that every time, but I [00:09] honestly do mean it. It is really great [00:11] to see you all. So, I'm glad you're here [00:15] because you could be doing anything else [00:16] and you chose to be here. So, we [00:17] appreciate you very much. [00:20] Oh, I don't want to do that. That's [00:22] wrong. Hold on. Don't look. [00:27] All right. Hold on. What's going on? [00:29] Stop share. [00:30] >> Did I share everything? [00:31] >> Yeah, it was everything. [00:33] >> Okay. Well, don't look. [00:35] Maybe I'll just cut that out of the [00:36] recording. Here we go. Okay, [00:39] >> there we go. [00:41] >> Real fast and try to log in. [00:43] >> Super secret information. Not really. I [00:45] got nothing. [00:46] >> My life is so boring. I wish I had super [00:48] secret information that I had to blur [00:51] out. Not that important. Okay. Um, is [00:55] there one thing you want to accomplish [00:56] today? [00:58] I don't know. Maybe there's a lot of [01:00] things. But if you want to tell us [01:01] something you're working on today, [01:02] that'd be cool. [01:05] I'm working on Chaos Con stuff. [01:08] There we go. [01:12] Damian, this seems like [01:14] a lot of work and maybe more than just [01:17] today. [01:18] >> Uh, no. It seems like a lot of boring [01:20] work and I tried to convince some AI to [01:23] do it, but it didn't. So, I will have to [01:25] manually do it. [01:28] H man, I hate when people just, you [01:31] know, don't want to do what you want [01:32] them to do. Gosh. [01:35] Well, I'm sure that you will solve all [01:37] the problems and make amazing progress. [01:40] I have all the faith in you. I know you [01:42] can do it. Um whether you want to or [01:44] not, right? So, okay. Yeah. Um okay, [01:49] just a quick a couple quick um working [01:52] group updates, funding, and university. [01:54] Uh in case you missed it last week, we [01:56] did have a discussion about rolling the [01:58] university working group into the [02:00] research and science working group since [02:01] there's a lot of overlap. And then um [02:04] the folks who aren't really in that [02:06] space are going to go over to the OSPO [02:08] meetings in curious. So we have taken [02:10] those meetings off the calendar and [02:12] we've um archived the minutes or moved [02:14] them to inactive. I believe that the um [02:18] Slack channel is still active though. Is [02:20] that right? [02:21] >> That's okay. I'll post again like just [02:24] remind people of this. [02:26] >> Okay. [02:27] >> Um just to make sure that if if they're [02:30] still kind of looking. My guess is is [02:32] that at this point um most everybody who [02:36] attends regularly knows and it was all [02:39] good. [02:40] >> Yeah. I just want to make sure in case [02:41] anybody missed that and we're planning [02:42] to attend. [02:44] Uh Damian, go ahead. [02:46] >> Uh what is curios? [02:49] Oh. Um, let's let's find it. It's uh [02:54] Nope, here it is. Oh, I had that tab [02:56] open in something else. [02:57] >> Damian, it's a group that is focused on [03:00] open source program offices specifically [03:03] at universities. [03:05] Oh, [03:05] >> okay. Uh, it's separated from to-do. [03:09] What's that? [03:10] >> It's separated from to-do group. [03:12] >> Um, yeah, it's different from the to-do [03:14] group which is kind of focused more on [03:16] the corporate ospo side. There are [03:18] sometimes representatives in fact I [03:20] think maybe David did you say you were [03:24] um to-do group as well [03:25] >> to do I think to-do is broader it's it [03:28] started out industry but I think it's [03:30] broader um curious is definitely just [03:33] research or academic focused [03:40] >> right [03:43] >> and it's funded by the Alfred Peace [03:45] Foundation so it's it's completely [03:46] separate from all the Linux foundation [03:47] stuff, [03:54] >> but there was a lot of overlap, so it [03:55] kind of didn't make sense to splinter [03:57] those conversations into two places. So, [04:02] all right, any other questions about [04:04] that for Matt? [04:08] That was a good question. Thanks, [04:09] Damian. [04:12] Um, and then obviously no, well, not [04:14] obviously, but there is a note here. no [04:16] changes to the chaos OSPO working group. [04:18] So, just to clarify that that is still [04:20] in place. And um just a quick update on [04:23] the funding meetings. The um January [04:26] meetings, the two January meetings have [04:27] been cancelled because everybody's super [04:28] busy. They will return again in [04:30] February. So, there you go. And I think [04:34] a lot of those folks will be at Chaos [04:35] Con, too. So, connect up with them if [04:38] you are so inclined. [04:40] >> Yeah. And there's also a funding uh dev [04:42] room which is what a lot of the people [04:45] are busy with at FOST. [04:47] >> Excellent. [04:50] Okay. I see Matt is in real time adding [04:53] things to the agenda. [04:54] >> Yeah, that was just something I've been [04:55] seeing um like in Slack, you know, how [04:58] the applications still come across. How [05:02] is it still like what's the volume that [05:05] we're seeing on the badging stuff right [05:07] now? I will defer to Eddie Inca on that. [05:10] Not to put you on the spot, Eddie Inca, [05:12] but [05:15] >> is she here? [05:17] >> Oh, yeah, she's here. [05:18] >> Hi, I miss. Sorry. [05:20] >> Hi. [05:27] >> Sorry. Yeah, we were just asking about [05:29] the volume of badging requests if that's [05:31] something that um because we still see [05:33] them on GitHub, but we're just curious, [05:35] you know, how how that's going, how what [05:37] the volume is if there's a lot of folks [05:39] who are still applying. [05:41] >> Oh, okay. So, um I wouldn't say we have [05:46] um a lot of volume. We just have three [05:48] at the moment. [05:50] Uh and I think uh we are good. There is [05:54] no problem. [05:56] >> Okay. Do you don't we have like a big [06:00] push maybe a couple times a year where [06:03] there's a whole bunch of applications [06:06] that come in. [06:10] >> Oh, okay. Um probably um into uh the mid [06:14] year, not at the beginning. [06:17] >> Okay. [06:18] >> Forance um in December we didn't we [06:20] didn't have a lot of vacations. In fact, [06:22] there was rest. [06:24] >> Sure. [06:24] >> Yeah. Good. [06:26] >> Okay. Yeah, I was just kind of curious [06:28] how things were going, but sounds like [06:31] >> Okay, [06:31] >> just good. Okay, thank you. [06:37] >> Um, but Matt, you did mention I I think [06:40] I saw an issue you created about um [06:43] getting a lot of messages around um [06:46] securities and vulnerabilities. [06:50] >> I haven't posted anything like that [06:52] recently. [06:56] Okay, I think I saw that. I just wanted [06:59] to say um we are working on something at [07:02] the back end and so we might just have [07:05] to update some some packages. [07:08] >> Okay. Oh yeah, there are a lot of I do [07:11] know that a lot of the dependabot things [07:14] that are coming across with badging. So [07:16] maybe it's some of that. Okay. [07:21] >> All right. [07:21] >> Oh yeah, I did post that now that I [07:24] think about it. [07:27] I saw you. [07:29] >> I'm done for the day. [07:34] >> Okay. [07:40] Any other questions, conversation before [07:42] we go on? [07:46] I see chat here. What's the chat? [07:50] Oh, just the docs. Okay. Um, yeah. Okay. [07:56] The only other thing that I wanted to [07:59] let everybody know specifically about [08:00] Chaos Con, and we can take time at the [08:02] end to do our Chaos Con committee stuff [08:04] as we do, but um I just wanted to show [08:07] everyone cuz I think it's awesome. I'm [08:09] going to humble brag a little. I think [08:12] it looks um pretty cool. So, we switched [08:15] our because we have multiple rooms, [08:17] multiple things, interactive workshops, [08:20] talks, a whole bunch of stuff going on [08:22] at Chaos Con this year. So, we decided [08:25] to move the schedule over to teamup. So, [08:28] it's similar to our calendar. Um, I have [08:32] a few things to fill in at uh a few [08:34] details still to fill in, but um this is [08:37] our schedule for Chaos Con. We have a [08:40] lot a lot of stuff going on. Um I'm [08:44] pretty excited. Uh just in case anybody [08:46] hasn't been really involved in those [08:48] conversations, there are a whole lot of [08:50] stuff. um lots of talks, lots of [08:52] workshops, guided discussions, birds of [08:54] feather things. So, it should be a very [08:56] exciting time and um I think that this [09:00] right here is kind of an indication of [09:03] how far Chaos Con has come. So, pretty [09:06] excited to to be there and to see all [09:08] this unfold. [09:10] Well, thanks, Cali. Thank you. I still [09:13] have a few, like I said, things to [09:14] finish up mostly um at the bottom here. [09:17] these last evening ones. I haven't put [09:19] in the descriptions yet, but what is [09:21] nice about this too is you can click on [09:24] here. We'll look at Dawn's. So, you can [09:26] click on this. There's about Dawn and [09:28] then the session description is there. [09:30] So, um that's a little bit easier, I [09:33] think, for people to find where they [09:35] want to go. You can also filter by [09:38] keyword. So, if I want to see all of [09:40] Dawn's talks, I would just do that. And [09:43] then it will just show me all of her [09:44] stuff which is right now two things. [09:48] Um you can also focus by you know [09:51] keyword. If you want to just see [09:52] anything that's has to do with funding [09:53] for instance you can see that there's [09:56] one thing. I think that might be all. Oh [09:58] something at the end. Yeah. [10:01] Um and then of course you can and this [10:03] is I'm going to put a little thing in [10:04] here because this right here is not [10:06] intuitive. Um theuler is by room. The [10:10] day is by time of what all is going on [10:13] at the same at a at a time. Um the [10:16] timeline is by room also but across and [10:20] time. So it's a little bit of a [10:21] different look. And then a list is just [10:23] a flatout list. Here's a list of all the [10:25] things. So um yeah, it's a little bit [10:29] this is not intuitive at all. So we [10:32] might put a little thing here just to [10:33] explain that for people. [10:36] So yeah, exciting stuff. [10:40] I'm excited anyway. So, if you see if [10:42] anybody sees anything, if you're poking [10:43] around and you see something that looks [10:44] weird, please let me know. We were doing [10:46] some testing yesterday and it was a [10:48] little weird with the time zones and how [10:49] it was displaying. So, yeah, just let me [10:52] know. Will this page be re reusable uh [10:56] for future chaos cons? For sure. Yeah, [10:58] we have um with our uh teamup account, [11:02] you can create um as long as it's up to [11:05] five. So, we can have up to five [11:07] different things in one calendar. So, as [11:09] long as you keep it under five, we're [11:10] good. Um, I think actually with our paid [11:13] account, we can maybe expand that. Uh, [11:16] but yeah, you can create a calendar for [11:17] for anything. So, yeah, definitely for [11:19] future Chaos Cons [11:22] or workshops or whatever else we want to [11:23] use it for. So, yeah, thanks you guys. [11:26] I'm excited. [11:29] It's the little things, you know, that [11:31] make me happy. [11:31] >> Was it difficult? [11:33] it not difficult uh just uh time [11:38] consuming I guess it's more like because [11:41] you know you have to like I would [11:43] imagine yeah just [11:44] >> just you know pull in things from the [11:45] spreadsheets cuz they're in a couple [11:47] different spreadsheets um and then I had [11:49] to manually do these in Canva the circle [11:51] but I like the circle images I don't [11:53] know cuz when you get them they're all [11:55] different sizes square rectangle [11:57] whatever and so I wanted them to be [11:59] unified so um I did the circle too so [12:03] That was a little timeconsuming, but [12:05] yeah. [12:09] >> Thank you, Elizabeth. Looks really [12:10] >> Oh, yeah. You're welcome. You're [12:12] welcome. Um, but again, if you guys see [12:15] anything, I'm also going to fix this so [12:18] it matches above. Um, so it's more of [12:20] just like the pictures of everybody, you [12:23] know, in one thing and not and I'll just [12:25] save all the the descriptions of [12:28] everything and leave it in hidden up [12:30] here if that's okay. So, it's just like [12:32] cleaner and easier. [12:36] And I can link to these. So, I can also [12:39] share a link if I want to put, you know, [12:42] the person in their talks or something [12:44] like that. We can we can do this. Oops. [12:48] I don't know what that was, but yeah, [12:51] we'll look at that again as Paige. I [12:54] kind of like that, too. So, [12:57] there you go. Exciting things for Chaos [13:00] Gone. [13:04] Um, anything uh so I should say do we [13:08] have anything else that's like for [13:09] everybody and not specific to the Chaos [13:11] Con committee. [13:22] Nobody is jumping in so that's okay. Um, [13:26] okay. So, do we want to just end this [13:29] part of the meeting then? and move on to [13:31] for those who are helping organize Chaos [13:33] Con to stick around. [13:35] >> I think so in this final weeks here [13:39] probably. [13:40] >> Yeah, we have a lot to kind of talk [13:42] about. So, [13:45] oh, I also do want to say one one quick [13:47] other thing that's exciting about this [13:48] chaos con is that we do have a heart of [13:51] uh sorry, heart of hearing, hearing [13:52] impaired deaf speaker this year, which [13:55] is super exciting, I think, and um will [13:58] really push us to be more inclusive and [14:02] accessible and all of those things for [14:04] the future. So, um I'm I'm quite excited [14:06] about that. So, that's something new for [14:08] for Chaos. So, yay. [14:14] Okay, I'm going to stop sharing now.
