(anitsirk, 08:19:13) * sonn and yuliya figure out how to create a dialect language code and set up translations for it (anitsirk, 08:21:56) * custom language codes can't be set up in Launchpad. (anitsirk, 08:23:19) * ACTION: yuliyabozhko1 will try to contact Launchpad and check if there is a way to get a custom language code set up. (anitsirk, 08:25:53) * robertl_ create a Wiki page about HTML export improvements and set up a blueprint in launchpad (anitsirk, 08:26:23) * LINK: https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Developer_Area/Import//Export/HTML_Export#Adjustments (anitsirk, 08:26:23) * LINK: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/mahara/+spec/improve-html-export (anitsirk, 08:26:23) * ACTION: robertl_ to create bugs / wishlist items for improving the HTML export. (anitsirk, 08:33:21) * GitLab acquired Gitorious: What does this mean for us? (Kristina) (anitsirk, 08:33:50) * GitLab acquired Gitorious and Gitorious will cease to exist in its current form at the end of May. (anitsirk, 08:33:51) * LINK: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/03/gitlab-acquires-gitorious/ (anitsirk, 08:33:51) * To my knowledge, Gitorious had been chosen because it is entirely open source (in contrast to Github for example). (anitsirk, 08:33:51) * IDEA: If we want to stay independent an continue with our work flow, one possibility would be to simply host the repositories on a server. Most of our work flow is done through Gerrit these days (except the user manual and translations) (anitsirk, 08:33:51) * IDEA: Alternatively, we could install GitLab on a server and maybe even move to using that for code review instead of Gerrit (eventually). (anitsirk, 08:33:51) * IDEA: four options: migrate our "official" repo to GitLab, to Github, to some other third-party git service, or to a Catalyst server (anitsirk, 08:38:35) * IDEA: have clones on non-Catalyst servers for the sake of maintaining Mahara's OS-ness (anitsirk, 08:41:51) * LINK: https://gitlab.com/groups/mahara (aarowlaptop, 08:42:05) * LINK: https://github.com/maharaproject/ (aarowlaptop, 08:43:06) * IDEA: Just use github as the new official location for the active repositories, because it's available, easy to use, and popular (aarowlaptop, 08:46:51) * IDEA: Keep copies of the inactive repositories in gitlab, and sync the active ones to gitlab as well, to hedge our bets (aarowlaptop, 08:47:20) * IDEA: And if someone finds a really-really-really open git option, we can always switch to that (aarowlaptop, 08:47:44) * all repositories could be stored in gerrit. One of its functionalities is just to act like a git repository (anitsirk, 08:48:48) * This would have the added benefit of being able to use gerrit to code review changes in those other repositories (anitsirk, 08:49:02) * For gerrit repo's other than the core "mahara", we could set up different permissions to give people direct "push" access, for when code review isn't really appropriate. (aarowlaptop, 08:49:50) * ACTION: Everyone: Review the possible options for the official mahara code repository that aarowlaptop mentioned and weight advantages and disadvantages. (anitsirk, 08:52:07) * Mahara 15.04 release (Kristina) (anitsirk, 08:52:34) * The Mahara 15.04 release candidate 1 has been available for testing for almost a week. (anitsirk, 08:52:34) * If you don't have a test server available, you can use http://master.dev.mahara.org and report issues on the bug tracker. (anitsirk, 08:52:34) * LINK: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+filebug (anitsirk, 08:52:34) * we are still planning on releasing mid April. As usual, it'll depend on testing and any major issues... (anitsirk, 08:58:08) * Next meeting and chair (anitsirk, 08:58:46) * robertl_ is going to chair the 43rd Mahra developer meeting on 23 April 2015 at 8:00 UTC.
