I am in Japan. It's 5.33am here. +20:34 < shanecoughlan> You don't need any :) It's only if you have Linux System patents that you need to grant patent licenses. If you don't have any, then there is no cost to obtaining the deterrent. +20:34 <@NeddySeagoon> shanecoughlan, Its not just software patents then ? +20:34 < shanecoughlan> NeddySeagoon: only software patents. +20:34 <@robbat2> by linux system, do you cover only the kernel or the entire ecosystem? +20:35 < shanecoughlan> The OIN licensee program is about creating a software patent aggression "no fly zone" over the Linux System. +20:35 < shanecoughlan> robbat2: It is more than the kernel, but not all of FOSS. The formal definitions of Linux System and everything else OIN uses are here: +20:35 < shanecoughlan> http://www.openinventionnetwork.com/pat_linuxdef.php +20:36 < shanecoughlan> robbat2: What OIN counts as Linux Environment Components (the stuff explicitly protected) are listed here: +20:36 < shanecoughlan> http://www.openinventionnetwork.com/pat_linuxdefpop.html +20:37 <@robbat2> so anything that gentoo holds the base copyright on perhaps? +20:37 <@NeddySeagoon> I'm in favour of a considered approach ... I do not intend to make up my mind today +20:39 <@robbat2> shanecoughlan, your table in that last link is also somewhat broken, do you have the raw data somewhere accessible too? +20:41 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, lets come back to this +20:41 <@NeddySeagoon> April Mandatory Gentoo Foundation Inc Annual General Meeting ... +20:41 < shanecoughlan> robbat2: Sorry, I just have these links. Basically, anything under the definition and links above falls under "Linux System" and requires a patent license grant from licensees (if they have any patent covering that stuff). In return they get the same from other licensees plus a grant to whatever OIN holds. Just as importantly, the licensee program also creates a link between OIN and xProject or yCompany to help deter +20:41 < shanecoughlan> aggression from any third parties. OIN has significant resources and experience in the field, and a mission to protect the growth of Linux-related innovation. +20:42 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, ? +20:42 <@robbat2> your Linux system definition seems to be really broad however, Gentoo distributes source tarballs for a LOT of stuff, so i'm trying to see what would actually be covered of them +20:43 <@robbat2> for those that aren't already covered +20:43 <@robbat2> the linuxdefpop contains duplicated date, but the majority of those packages are already in Gentoo +20:44 <@robbat2> the DVR/DVD exemptions also seem weird +20:44 < shanecoughlan> robbat2: that means you are distributing code OIN is actively working to protect, which is one reason OIN wants to talk with you about working together. OIN wants to cover distros in the licensee program as part of its outreach to support the community. +20:44 <@robbat2> MythTV is entirely linux based, why isn't it protected as a linux system component? +20:46 <@robbat2> NeddySeagoon, yup, return to it on the AGM, but perhaps also schedule an additional meeting for discussing it? +20:46 <@robbat2> that list and definition raise far more questions +20:47 <@robbat2> i don't have a problem with the concept itself, I've seen Keiths presentations several times now and chatted with him +20:47 <@robbat2> but some of the details bug me now +20:47 < shanecoughlan> robbat2: OIN is happy to engage with you guys to clarify items. +20:47 <@robbat2> we're running way late on the meeting already, so pushed to another meeting / email +20:47 <@robbat2> thanks shane +20:47 <@robbat2> do we have your email address directly? +20:47 < shanecoughlan> robbat2: you are welcome. +20:48 < shanecoughlan> scoughlan@openinventionnetwork.com +20:48 <@robbat2> thanks +20:48 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2, ok, lets take it to the list and collect all the questions together - we can then forward them to OIN.

Perhaps soon I will have BW money :| +20:52 <@quantumsummers_> Robin was talking to a couple of potential sponsors +20:53 <@NeddySeagoon> quantumsummers_, it needs to be in OSL or something like that that has a long term low cost future +20:53 <@quantumsummers_> I would also like to talk to Amazon regarding free developer use of AWS resources +20:53 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: I agree. +20:53 <@dabbott> Lets table for email and next meeting once we have more info +20:53 <@quantumsummers_> ok' +20:54 <@quantumsummers_> thing is, we need to address the machine needs soon +20:54 <@NeddySeagoon> We can't rent from GNi for long, so if that goes to the vote, I suggest 1 or 2 months max to sort out something long term. The shorter the better +20:54 <@quantumsummers_> or reimburse solar +20:54 <@quantumsummers_> NeddySeagoon: sounds good +20:54 <@NeddySeagoon> I think we need to agree a short term fix now +20:55 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion ... +20:56 <@NeddySeagoon> That the Foundation rent miranda for a period not exceeding two months, to allow infra to find an alternative.

Meanwhile, how much tinme do we have with GNi as is, and should we buy more time ? +21:04 <@robbat2|na> solar expected them to try and contact us this coming week +21:05 <@robbat2|na> i was making sure the rest of the infra boxes are ready to poweroff so I can try to talk for more time +21:05 <@NeddySeagoon> With a view to biling from 1st October ? +21:05 <@robbat2|na> unknown, i don't have contacts of my own at the new owners +21:06 <@robbat2|na> i tried to make some after GNi changed hands, to no avail +21:06 <@quantumsummers_> miranda is going to be expensive +21:06 <@NeddySeagoon> how long will it take to get a funded replacement operational ? +21:06 <@robbat2|na> hardware acquisition plus probably 48 hours +21:07 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, so < 2 months ? +21:07 <@robbat2|na> our track record on hardware acquisition sucks +21:07 <@robbat2|na> so at least a month, if not 3 +21:07 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, if we were funding miranda, it would focus our thoughts +21:08 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, just before you showed up I proposed Motion ... +21:08 <@NeddySeagoon> NeddySeagoon That the Foundation rent miranda for a period not exceeding two months, to allow infra to find an alternative. If no alternative if found in that period, funding will be withdrawn +21:08 <@quantumsummers_> robbat2|na: we need to talk with blueness +21:08 <@NeddySeagoon> Does that sound reasonable ? +21:09 <@quantumsummers_> he may have some ideas +21:09 <@robbat2|na> if they offer a reasonable price yes +21:10 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, its just to buy time to part company without loosing miranda. If we can find a home for funded hardware +21:11 <@robbat2|na> proposed: That the Foundation potentially rent miranda for a period not exceeding two months at a reasonable price, to allow infra to find an alternative. If the price is unreasonable or no alternative if found in that period, funding will be withdrawn. +21:12 <@NeddySeagoon> What is 'reasonable' ? +21:12 <@NeddySeagoon> reasonable -> not exceeding market rates +21:13 <@robbat2|na> i'd say market rates for that node would be 400-600USD/month +21:13 <@robbat2|na> mainly unsure of the market rate for the SAN space +21:14 <@quantumsummers_> what is the BW requirement for miranda +21:14 <@NeddySeagoon> Are we prepared to pay an 'unreasonable' sum for a few moths for continuity of service ? +21:15 <@NeddySeagoon> months ? +21:15 <@robbat2|na> quantumsummers_, i just tried to check, and my login to the website with bandwidth data doesn't work anymore :-( +21:16 <@quantumsummers_> robbat2|na: blueness may be willing to help out, BW is the issue +21:16 <@quantumsummers_> they have 5mbit +21:16 <@quantumsummers_> he is willing to help out with HW, but BW is the issue +21:18 <@robbat2|na> ok, lets just consider that for now, i'll ask some of the others if we can potentially send a gentoo-owned box to them +21:18 <@NeddySeagoon> OK - what about the short term voting of funds to keep miranda alive ... if needed. +21:18 <@quantumsummers_> yeah. +21:18 <@robbat2|na> maybe just fix it to a monetary sum? +21:18 <@dabbott> What is miranda used for, a dev box, build box ? +21:18 <@quantumsummers_> dabbott: too much to list +21:19 <@NeddySeagoon> robbat2|na, like $1200 ? +21:19 <@robbat2|na> $1200 sounds good to me +21:19 <@NeddySeagoon> Motion - The foundation authorises the expenditure of up to $1200 to rent mirada for the short term +21:20 <@quantumsummers_> seconded +21:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Vote please +21:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Aye +21:20 <@quantumsummers_> aye +21:20 <@robbat2|na> aye +21:20 <@dabbott> yes +21:20 <@NeddySeagoon> Carried.
