DAViCal PROJECT MEETING, called for 2014-03-11, 17:00 UTC


 * People involved in the meeting: narcisgarcia, bobloblian, tuxick, gorka, Jim Fenton, Frank Martin, mu3, cyril, be0rn, Adrien-M, Gotiniens, jorgelp
 * Begin time: 17:05 UTC

1.1. Website and documentation

 * http://davical.dhits.nl
 * http://wiki.davical.gmta.nl/


 * Jim Fenton informs that he and mu3 have admin accounts for davical.dhits.nl, got from the website operator Tony. Also that wiki.davical.gmta.nl "is dead", and that wiki.davical.org points to davical.dhits.nl
 * tuxick proposes additional hosting to backup resources (offers hosting; now is already hosting the wiki at davical.dhits.nl).
 * Agreement: tuxick will deploy a backup task for websites files and databases.
 * Decision about 2nd backup on independent location remains open (kinda low prio atm)
 * Agreement: tuxick assumes all webhosting (main website + wiki) in the same place.

1.1.1 Davical hostnames

 * feedback.davical.org == davical.uservoice.com
 * wiki.davical.org == davical.dhits.nl
 * Agreement: JimFenton will ask for a complete list of hostnames in davical.org (or DNS zone file).

1.2. Source code

 * http://repo.or.cz/w/davical.git
 * http://github.com/davical


 * Proposal to use gitlab.com. gitorious.com, proposed in last meeting, seems unstable (perhaps due to corporate acquisition)
 * Agreement: We all will test a new repository (already created by Gorka) at www.gitlab.com and then decide to be it the official repository place or not. Gorka will add people as developer/admin.
 * It was recognized that we need to include the awl package in any repository changes, since davical is highly dependent on it. awl repo exists at http://repo.or.cz/w/awl.git/, and will need to move to gitlab as well.

1.3. Downloads and binary repositories

 * Agreement: Binary repositories will be hosted at same server as web, as offered by tuxick

1.3.1 Debian/DEB Packages

 * https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/davical/
 * Actually, 3 coordinators on the project: lkraav (?), fmms (?), karora (Andrew).
