Lars made a +start on [[!issue 23]] and we need to discuss some more, so see later. + +We closed [[!milestone 15]] and created [[!milestone 16]]. + +# Review + +Outstanding MRs: + +There were none. + +Issues: + +- [[!issue 95]] - Daniel added some clarification in a comment. We feel that + such work would have to very configurable in order to not upset people. + It's possible this could be a docgen option. We labelled it as such +- [[!issue 53]] - We discussed and agreed we could do annual code review (or + more if we so choose) instead of holding this open. +- [[!issue 48]] - We discussed and decided that for now vendoring is OK and + versioning the libraries would be a pain. We agreed to close this issue and + made a note into it about how we can revisit when vendoring becomes awkward. +- [[!issue 23]] - We removed this from the milestone after discussing and + deciding that for now there's not a lot we want to do on this topic. +- [[!issue 105]] - We labelled this performance and someday-maybe. +- [[!issue 20]] - Lars has worked out a good small first step, assigned himself + to the issue, and tentatively put it into the milestone. +- [[!issue 107]] - We agreed on an implementation strategy and Lars assigned + himself and tentatively added it to the milestone. +- [[!issue 108]] - We discussed that this is an interesting and valuable thing + to do. Daniel suggested maybe we should do this as a subplot rather than as a + yaml document. Added to the milestone, but not as yet assigned to a person. +- [[!issue 109]] - We decided there's nothing to do here for now. +- [[!issue 96]] - We need to change the error text, but also Lars wants the + filename enough to assign it to himself and put it tentatively into the + milestone. +- [[!issue 102]] - We investigated and found the dependencies for lmodern are + likely via a `Recommends` from `texlive-base`. We put it tentatively into + the milestone, assigned to Dan (in his absence). +- [[!issue 111]] - Assigned to Lars, tentatively put into milestone +- [[!issue 104]] - We agreed on a little more verbiage, and that it should go + into `CONTRIBUTING.md`. Assigned to Lars and tentatively put into the + milestone +- [[!issue 100]] - May as well satisfy the `curl|bash` people. Assigned to Lars + and tentatively put into the milestone. +- [[!issue 22]] - We decided to thank Dan for his input and ask if he'd like to + tackle this with mentoring when he's feeling a little more Rusty. +- [[!issue 101]] - This is hard, we're not working on it in this iteration. +- [[!issue 98]] - This is hard, ideally done as an additional pass on the AST + to find and launch the converters, and then the typesetting pass can consume + the results of those. +- [[!issue 97]] - Worth doing, but not right now. +- [[!issue 94]] - Daniel added helpwanted and mentor labels. +- [[!issue 93]] - Daniel was moderately excited and assigned to himself and put + it into the milestone. +- [[!issue 74]] - Lars still tends to want this, so has assigned it to himself + and put it into the milestone. +- [[!issue 58]] - Has not had any motion in 5 months, so we closed it. + +At the start of review, there were 7 issues assigned to Lars, 1 to Dan, 1 to +Daniel, and 1 unassigned. + +After discussion, Lars assigned [[!issue 108]] to himself, to give him roughly +a 50% load on his iteration timing. + +# Discussion + +We looked at Gitlab Iterations, sadly they're not available to us right now +because they need a Gitlab Group and we have the subplot repo under Lars' gitlab +namespace right now. + +Lars' co-worker Ahmon has tentatively agreed to be interviewed. He's one of the +first people to actively use it and so asking for his opinions and experiences +would be helpful. He's prepared to be interviewed by both Lars and Daniel. +Ahmon's personal timezone puts his start-of-day at 15:00 to 16:00 UTC. Daniel's +least congested day is Thursday 5th November. Lars will speak with Ahmon to +discuss the best time to do this. + +Subplot in Debian is still 'far future'. + +# Actions + +The only 'unusual' action coming out of this meeting was Lars needing to talk +with Ahmon to arrange an interview slot. -- cgit v1.2.1
