Hi all!
Let me invite you to the bi-monthly status meeting, taking place
*TODAY*, 19:00 UTC, in the Mattermost private channel "Meeting".
I know that this announcement comes way too late, but hope that people
can manage to join, even if it's just to get some distraction from all
the bad news these days.
The agenda currently looks as follows, with the main speakers in
parentheses:
* Achievements and Future Outlook (everyone)
What have you been working on and what are your plans?
This is also the right time to talk about ReactOS 0.4.13 and RosBE 2.2
again.
* GSoC 2020 Status (org admins and mentors)
Just a short update on the timeline, promising projects and candidates
* Drop one theme from "default" package (Victor)
Last release we added two new themes, but they both look unfinished in
many aspects. As we have an active maintainer for one of them (Mizu),
Victor's suggestion is to either drop the Lunar, or "merge" it with Lautus
By the way, we have many times discussed an option to make custom themes
be installed from Rapps. What do we need to do for that?
And finally, it would be nice to write down some formal criteria for
accepting themes. It will make PR reviewers' life easier :)
* Hire a developer for dev-web interface and/or a devops for our
infrastructure (Victor)
Making that a GSoC project required too much effort for a mentor; so in
the end the project was not too efficient in terms of time spent/amount
of work done ratio (as a GSoC project it is great, but the interface is
still far from being usable)
Victor thinks it is reasonable to hire some experienced developer for
maybe a month or something.
Looking forward to see all of you this evening!

Hi all!
I would like to propose some topic to discuss on the next meeting (will it
be on March, 26?)
* Drop one theme from "default" package.
Last release we added two new themes, but they both look unfinished in many
aspects. As we have an active maintainer for one of them (Mizu), my
suggestion is to either drop the Lunar, or "merge" it with Lautus (I find
them quite similar - correct me if I'm wrong)
I think it's worth asking cernodile and foxlet about their thoughts. I have
a strong opinion that 4 themes is too much for "default" package
By the way, we have many times discussed an option to make custom themes be
installed from Rapps. What do we need to do for that?
And finally, it would be nice to write down some formal criteria for
accepting themes. It will make PR reviewers' life easier :)
* Hire a developer for dev-web interface and/or a devops for our
infrastructure.
Making that a GSoC project required too much effort for a mentor; so in the
end the project was not too efficient in terms of time spent/amount of work
done ratio (as a GSoC project it is great, but the interface is still far
from being usable)
I think it is reasonable to hire some experienced developer for maybe a
month or something (is we have enough funds, ofc).
That will probably require a more detailed task from us.
Suggestions are welcome here :)
We don't have to wait for a meeting, may start discussing that here :)
Cheers,
Victor
