Foundation Annual General Meeting

Others

everyone and well come

i said well welcome to the you know manner annual general meeting

how many of you

is this the first annual general meeting for

awesome

how many people here are new members

so the foundation within the last year

welcome

how many people here are not yet members of the foundation

no i'm really glad that you came because you were future members of they don't

foundation and i encourage you guys reply if you're here it's probably because you're working

on you know and all you have to do to become a member is use

it basically to contribute jic you know

i

how we know just you have to contribute to go home and so chances are

you're doing it anyway if you're not being here will surely inspire you to do

so and so's submit an application and then you'll have the benefits of membership

they'll members how the benefit of a fancy email address

also the opportunity get sponsorship for travel

and a few other benefits to so

voting for my bosses

you're right that's pretty good

right and so right when you're on the board you get to vote on the

direction of the foundation how we use our finances a lot of important stuff so

us that's pretty fun last year when we had the annual general meeting we're out

of time

we had a lot of great discussion we had good presentations from team leader's but

when it got to the end we just ran over time so much that we

had no time at all for question and answers with the board and we decided

that was totally unacceptable because actually having access to the board members is a really

important thing about what i can and one of the things for me and a

general meeting that i think a lot of people like the most so what we

did was instead of having it as a part of this meeting we've moved it

to the keynote slot tomorrow and that way everyone who is interested all and you

know can ask our board really tough questions

so i encourage you to think about the now we decided to do it on

the day after the A G M so that you could hear all the presentations

them you're reminded of everything that's happened in you know over the last year and

you know think about what to bring tomorrow to ask the board members they are

your board members

you would like to them and it's great to have an arena where they can

hear what you're thinking about your where you're worried about and you can hear what

the direction of the foundation is going to be

so without any further ado i don't wanna long window that you take up all

the time of the you know but we're definitely less pressed for time is your

which is great so i one of the things that we do is we have

presentations and so i'll just i think get them kicked off we've got ugh

as in say a great bunch of people lined up to speak but you are

know who they are so i guess what sites is that we're taking some time

getting are slight situation sorted we will start with the presentation that doesn't have slides

so is our in here to talk about that is

and we have of the design team sorry you're out of order

you're not out of order the

i

i think that in a and a expected order of wine everyone would speak and

i just moved someone who is in the middle of the pack to

number one sorry about that

you know and a

i'm not very well pat

so five minutes

for a years worth of work

okay that's pretty easy because we have already been doing anything so

what are we done in the past years so

i suppose the first thing to say is i'm speaking on behalf of the design

team

which is kind of you know obviously it's not official team we can only we

don't have

like membership badges so where there's an application process something like that

the bulk of the work gets done by myself body john the come on by

the cup starting the

but we have many of the volunteers and contribute is we work with lack pile

when he's around

we work with other designer friends from the open source well many of whom i

see in the room today

and we obviously we you know we work closely with developers and as a lot

developers that we kind of

considered to be design is in their own rights and

you know the definitely

a whole bunch of people that we come so regularly and ask for advice so

i'm feel like i'm speaking on behalf of all those people rather than kind of

some kind of cut out or anything so what we've been doing and the design

well so we obviously had that three point eight release which

was a really big release for as we had a whole bunch of new stuff

come in and i think it was a really strong release which is have really

positive reactions

and obviously there's a lot of work that for design so we have things like

the new application fee you in the shell we have been you clocks that we

had input methods work

we had a really have this year and of every detail matches and we redesigned

about half of the controls and so i think

so that was really busy obviously now we are focusing on three ten

we've got a whole we've got we've got a bunch of fairly big features in

that i'm working closely with jasper on the new system state is work in the

shell

we've got more work happening on applications selection which cup is been doing more work

on

we've got work happening on

lock screen a notifications on more control census stuff

but it's more will focusing on applications and if you're in my talk yesterday you

have had a bit about that's i think right now a to biggest priorities

first of all getting the

the core application sets in shape we have missing applications we have applications to need

to be redesigned and we've been doing a lot of work on that so

we've got videos happening we got music we've got software

so that a lot of these apps are in development so you know we're busy

keeping up with the developers and it's really good to feel under pressure we're getting

lots of people asking this for work which you know is great

and the main priority for is at the moments is developer experience

we were all at the developer experience heck fast and brussels

and one of the major focus is for is right now is G T K

and getting all the new widgets that we want

it's G T K in the shape that we want them that's again something i

spoke about to my talk

and we're also looking at the an application kind of deployment experience somewhere

talking to a lot line it's okay and everyone who's working on some boxing stuff

making sure that conforms to what we want so there's a there's a lot of

work going on the

other things that planning

with a interns this some keeping is really busy because we have lots of interns

doing lots really also work and we wanna make sure that they all have

designs so i've got this huge long list would got like search and selection mode

for music we've got

the application pick a we've got time and date settings we to redesign cooperate timer

application we've got geolocation and initial set a plate and system settings and

hawks and

hopefully whether

so it's quite a lot so we're doing on the left as well

so that's most of what we're working on

in terms of events within would been quite active the

and myself germany a couple obviously here we're all of the developer experience heck fast

myself and you have attended this year's L G M conference in madrid which is

a really good opportunity for is to me of the design is an artist and

people working in that field within

free and open souls so that's pretty cool i was it not a major this

year john most of the G T K a question april

at the one of the thing to mention is the gonna busy with kind of

outreach and interns and trying to get new computers involved

we currently have two interns working with this week a preacher who's working with but

on that counts relevance is be doing also work

and i saw on that so future if you're here coming from say hi i'm

working with and back

i think sure who is doing use testing for is at the moment she's based

in bangalore she's on quite a long internship for those other parts of she's doing

a postgraduate course and kind of

testing and you X design

and she starting to get to the point now where she's writing about findings and

feeding them into what we're doing so that's pretty useful

and

other than that other outreach things we're doing where

always trying to work as closely as we can with of the design is from

other open projects a really happy that you hands here from i'm cloud and have

we're gonna be talking with him over the coming days we have contacted people working

on design and labour office so that's really nice

and we are always trying to get new people involved in the seems to be

quite a lot of interest at the moment my we quite often have people come

along on well every once in a while someone comes along and i'll see wants

to help and we always try and point them in the right direction we have

we have a contribution guide on the we key we have list of to do

items which is actually kind of a up to date so that's kind helpful and

i even want to be near the been people coming up to me with design

ideas some are trying to engage with them so

i think that's pretty much it's

unless by mister nothing significant was control

sounds good okay cool

so we keeping busy

i think

and in terms of what we are things and moving be in a really good

direction we've had

if you're my talk you one of the things i spoke about was how we

got some quite a long running projects like with the new application

designs in the widgets and that starts and just come to fruition knows

kind of pretty happy with the way things are going

that's design

and

i technical difficulties they started at that an expectation any other ad you have a

they release team and jic operate exactly

hello really steam

next please

but they have to do a

alright so quick intro release team are those nine people that to the regular normal

stable and unstable releases

the recurrent has of to release team are going through the future proposals that are

system wide and keeping an eye on all stuff is going forward

coming up with really schedule our six months

defining and pushing norm goals for example in the last twelve months that was porting

to present three then internally who's doing the really sexually and at the end of

each development cycle deciding on freeze break requests when somebody store wants to change do

you why or strings and the very last moment

okay

i don't mind okay

okay so since that's good back we had five meetings of to release team we

have R C meetings

and if you're interested the full logs are available

at this address

apart from the recurring tasks already mentioned and last twelve months the cover but the

topics we discussed nobody's team that

the very beginning there was some discussions about system D versus console kit

on non linux systems mostly

we killed fallback modes and that it classic mode and you got eight which is

not something recent did but at least discussed about and

so can look at how it should be done we have a last reading on

bill can or more which helps is a lots with it's continues integration to get

some know when working coatings are releases

and the latest issue that came up was blues version for five and also audio

versus network mantra compatibility

what is likely on the list for next month's things always left a change but

the biggest thing is probably the whale and ports

and three eleven so far work has been going on behind the scenes but

to really get this done well for going on three or twelve we have to

have a big actively pushed

work to get this done for sent boxed

apps we might have to promote us stricter filesystem hierarchy

structure and what does that stand for anyway

so where the applications put their files and stuff like this and the number debates

we should it's a resurrected some point is if we continue to have top also

if we just use get tax

and internally where we also still thinking a bit of nots using mail for the

fees requests a fees break requests but to use a bookseller flack

we don't have any changes

and membership so these are the nine people that are currently unreleased team

and

we should be crude some fresh plot at some point so we discussed as from

time to time

so that we are considering extending a team by one person but

we'll have to find to one

and of course also depends on the areas that the person can cover and the

background

alright these are mailing list are see and where can find information on the weekly

and vacancy rate here great "'cause" they're gonna do that but it's quite presentation by

and record

alright box squats

those are the people that take a look at your but reports and feature and

enhancement request sandbox silicon on dot org before ought to get them into a quality

or shape before a developer takes a look at it at least in theory

the last twelve months were pretty calm that's really been business as usual we currently

don't running in run any back days for outreach and another thing that sometimes comes

up as

there's a wish to upgrade the box alert to more recent version because we're running

a quite old version and if i managed to find and have at who i

haven't huh that's you okay and then we should talk to each other a great

thanks no your face

awesome

so some gonna present some numbers just to give an idea and this is mostly

taken from the weekly box summary you see the U R L and you can

change the parameters to get all the information that you want

and the numbers covered last twelve months

we have more or less the same number of new tickets that got filed

as the number of tickets but got close which i like

quick look at projects before look at people

open tickets there's not too much change and there's so G T K still has

the most tickets evolution has a few less now gone am shell is growing and

not a list got still quite some close that was already last year but case

and what's not on the list G stream are also and the last twelve months

has like over

one hundred tickets close switches also about twenty percent which is pretty nice

this is the growth of tickets i just have i think three projects or so

to give an idea or which numbers which we talk about

and like you know shell is

you see there's a that's going down a bit but so somebody probably mass close

to three ash at some point but it still constantly grows so knots that anymore

sorry if this already cuffs your talk i think you have more info so

and you to care

it's also a little bit better now when it comes to in your tickets what

are than the total number of open tickets because they also has been some three

aging likely which is great to see

and G lupus also constantly growing so these are probably projects if you feel like

tree edging and a little bit about it or even we testing that these are

areas where help is definitely welcome

people so

there is a box a lot has these nice for statistics on but reporters but

close others patch reviewers and patch providers keep in mind that's

there's also enough work done being outside of bucks a loss always take this with

a grain of salt

you can see for the box posers that many of these people are actually developers

and not three arches

which probably means that we could have a bit more tree edges against that developers

have a bit more time to a do the actually called work again so it's

definitely an area where we could do more outreach

reporters

is i basically i can say much always you take a look at the names

you're happy and you see who's doing what's and who's doing how much

and then there's patch contributors

some people are very active in using excel

and i you

and the last one are the people who are very active in reviewing so best

you meant just a review five not a by five patches per day well

and i think that so it's just post a mailing list web store see if

you have any questions or wanna start reassuring

you want

the next presentation will be an outreach

and be by a marine is durations guy

and i'm jack

is accessibility

right

so what did it to get to the next

okay

so i'm gonna cover a couple areas like the newcomers tutorial google summer of code

and women outreach updates so for the newcomers tutorial comedy is has created a and

you comments tutorial module which is basically a small javascript program that has planted bugs

in it and

people going through the tutorial can download the code for it find a bug reported

in a special module in but still a touch a patch for it review somebody

else's batch and close the bug so as you can see forty eight people have

gone through this tutorial email last

ten month and we also have done the newcomers workshops at the boston some it

and at quite a just now and even though we did not have a lot

of participation am i think the people who participated and got a one on one

help funded really useful and you know like you have to do had six participants

and four of them went through the whole cycle of creating about attention if bash

review and somebody else's bargain close in it us to just like learning the process

of what it's like to contribute a patch to know

and also only has created

a system that somebody can instill and has a pretty build to build a net

and you know people was like max the windows can just come to the workshop

and trigrams norman can i see what it's like in a virtual machine

and then me and of the tutorial everybody gets going on belong

and this is like are statistics will google summer of code this year so we

had fewer applicants and that was the keys across the board because surprisingly the fact

that google has limited the number of a vacation a single applicant consent to five

had a decrease the number of applications everybody got across the boards as were a

lot of people who were put in wasn't five implications just kind of fishing for

google summer of code except and like we had an exceptionally high engagement without google

summer could applicants of fifty six

people have worked with the mentor have contributed a patch to words

a about that was the modules they wanted to work on

and actually nineteen of them were existing don't contributors so we had a very competitive

google summer of code a selection process where we actually had to select between people

who are all strong candidates

and we accept is thirty nine through different programs

and then here's a statistics for women's participation in you know so one

big step for roommate this year is that we have many more women speak and

it quite exist here and it attended by women it's about the same as last

year and for anybody who is here in is interested in joining women's there for

women who are here and interested in joining with having a dinner tonight that's sponsored

by red have so are a sepia this U R L

and so than almost doing pretty well like we are really moving forward and it

was very stark and like this like new comma surveys that kevin can really did

and of can always

a people who responded to the star be fifty percent where women and we were

like just so way had of like all the other projects where it was six

percent

across the board

and you know we couldn't really keep it to ourselves like this kind of progress

is so karen and i like we went out and we talked a lot of

people and a lot of people where eager to show enough

so confrontation is not run in a free in open source software outreach problem for

women and you know it basically just exploded from you know i was have and

you know eleven interns a year and a half ago just was gonna home to

like thirty seven interns with sixteen organisations

this year and like for example linux kernel is participating with seven interns which is

you know problem or women that have a worked on linux kernel and they had

like over forty applicants who've contributed patches and there was there was just like so

obviously so much pent up demand an interest to participate

and here is the sponsors sponsor in the car but the current round of the

outreach program for women and we've you know we've

when it had and created

sponsorship levels

and also right had to supporting might work on the program and ropes and grey

is our legal partner and they have

create a helped us create contracts for interns and mentors which we had to implement

this round

and you know just it's going further it's really inspirational what people who complete the

program do in like they work in their communities and doing great stuff like in

can a mennonite the communities a but for example us that empty has created women

in free software free culture group in india along with other interns and

i think get a chance to speak about it today though should have a chance

to speak about it today and matt has started the

and advocacy and hacking group for can omen chicago and valerie who did current or

should for speaking media is cost in a roundtable during system

roundtable sessions a for students at the grace hopper conference which is a big technical

conference

for women this october and it's like you know round tables several sessions of round

tables

so in total we have forty six interns was going on this year

and thirty are here it's quite it and daniel has created like this all some

yearbook for them and you know if you're interested you can

take a look at it like ask me or any of the admins the insurance

or just meet people in person because they here and come to their lightning talks

and sunday and these are all the people who are administrating a google summer of

code and from for women but also behind every one of the forty six interns

there is the mentors so like a huge thank you to mentors for making this

happen

and here like some ways that you can help with the outreach and i hope

those a specific and everybody can pick at least want to participate in and so

the numbers getting a lot of interest and there is

a lot there are a lot of questions in the gonna love i are see

and mailing list channels so they "'cause" that's one areas where we would really appreciate

help because there are just a couple people who are always like responding there when

they around so have and more people

present in those channels and answering questions would be fantastic there is that can never

be like enough like easy know love bugs for beginners that our recent and relevant

so please be mindful with when you a filing bugs

we have forty six mentors on the gonna love mentors page if you're interested in

you contributors for your project please that yourself they are it just means that you

willing up to provide informal mentor should just somebody anytimes for the year if they

interested in your project are so there's like some element of human touch there

and fall so thanks to three an owl and then other people in marketing don't

has been very active one these social media channels so when you see that there

are opportunities for internships or events in cities it'd be in advertise they are and

that's like relevant to where you are a please re shares those and also to

give other students of the university you are at or have attended an opportunity to

participate in free software for verde information about internships to them and we usually just

sends those two like the foundation lists that

you know where non singing you around of internships and please forward this along

and for extra brownie points you can a listing newcomers workshop in your city and

you know you can have people "'cause" he's the newcomers tutorial and also you know

all's like the slides for an introduction to go know like of the gun community

work what is what is the modules in the project a like that's all online

along with the in the with these us image was a virtual machine

so

that's all

and next that wanna marry not tell us what the accessibility team adapt to this

year

hi

yes assimilated team has been working hard to implement some the future of the having

of course the for

probably user for a long time

we may sound probably as in nam three but six

as a similar deal with song is one of those features

so build teen always ready as disability is a my you're my strong you know

knobs mission to bleeper free are not phone dust up to everyone

till them

because of the need of any assistive technology has to after they have to simply

disappear

do you will was clearly cumbersome because

they have to figure out how to have to they have to say we need

to support without the help of the assistive technology that they need to

so it was clearly very our or how problem but now they the need to

do that

because they have a facility so far out of the box

rightness contras a great risque a the options way out that

the combination of these options is very powerful and is particularly useful for people with

the low vision and any kind of for the for and also is useful for

people who want to use their computer and though

a best line conditions

and money fire focus and carry tracking is another and

of this long awaited features

is useful for people who use the modifier because we help them to keep track

all their what the typing

when

without taking carol where is the most point or

unfortunately we didn't have enough resources to make a really for this really is

all well

in our three but the dot eight

the high contras small was in haynes through the addition of new high confidence high

contrast i kittens

many memory leaks

in at it it's pi well we're fix it and a nice enhance them performance

and the uses as prince in general

or tell the non it's than on the screen reader

getting a new profiles switch in future this sellers week the new changes which simplifies

make in five easier to access content in different languages

and again retry the money fire crackers and carry tracking bad again we fail to

get a on this release

so what's

about the future

we have some future for administrators

i think when is the base pdfs disability

double one we have a lot of memory a in leaks

the are being oppressed

we have also the community

and guess

we're going to try again the money five focusing kind of tracking

yes exactly but what's the different

we have a good those some most your then

modeling bands as working on it

she's working hard and the how to subtract ready for being really it actually it

will be committed so we hold that they will be on the release

and i well if you want to know more about meddling works

she will she's got to have aligning told neck next sunday afternoon

written by invited to attend

P D F S disability work

is found that

we the

friend of the norm campaign that's us that we just separately around the last year

we like to find everybody who donate and help us to meet our goal

well so far

is

there is when we faces all packages for us acidity intervenes the number remember either

and also carry navigation has been implemented in the be ins

tax pdf support have is added to popular that P D F and G that

is use abided didn't

and i will die there is a lot of working part is in this area

we

invited to attend talk the next sunday morning about this topic

finally we are going to have a both notes

six of our goes in room eight to one paid is going to have running

conference format so that you can join some bring dramas disability topics to talk about

it but

please let us know don't your common inaudible to make a regiment know have a

bit of time organisation well that's all for your accessible to tune

but it

that we have there for the documentation team seemed using there right

and localisation is on deck

hi and speak and we have the documentation team

so bases a couple of things they've done in the past year

we had new user help very tenuous applications

in this job this mainly with the work interns and applications for it fish program

for men

we have approximately seventy five percent of applications up to date

and we started platform overview a that is developer documentation you can see it on

dollar product long dark so we started work on that

in dog there is a new how do why series headed by ryan largely in

so it's currently in the works

also this coming few days in dehak fess will be working on be sys admin

guide we have four days of five documentation hack fast so please swing by

mm these of the past yours hack fast that has happened in different places we

have the user help access in brno here in february

the next job the next one that fuller whizzing G U E R which is

very close to the open help we worked on the platform overview and dot the

little coming up in a couple of days is the sys admin guide

so please you come night and there is that talk by E docks team called

documentation state of the union next up so please let is know if you're interested

in you can find out more things that we're doing you know in detail about

what it was showing here in the next talk thanks

okay

at the next we have localisation and peter cove our

and i jack

we have web

thank you

so or what me quickly up the you are not

what happened in the world before position online you can

no

last year or last will months basically

hum one

so well it start with some it's that's

we have one how it so this really do the list of

teams on our look resolution board for disarming on the open and looked normal or

and scroll them lies

and we have one hundred serve on the i don't use of languages and language

variance

and

almost four hundred i just a software modules some of them are not accurate as

that the though about the i think it's quite the literature number

and is

is know in

every month so

i mean mostly translating for the last twelve months

we also got then you are designed of our of them lie server

down by

tool for our web designers

so big thank you goes to well then

in the previous readiness and all stable we have fifty two languages that hat more

than eighty percent

of all postings in the of fisheries a

translate it

from i eighteen and perspective feel so the thing you

integrated input the me that's

support in the home which greatly improve the use each of our list of for

each station languages and other

others

okay in the current stable release we had the same

number of supported languages

fifty three

and there are more improvements in the i Ms

so i personally think that was the greatest improvement

in though localization the of norm know last year was and you to kneel by

niko us double scroll the correct

so basically analyse service that a know gets

they data from a get three posts and what's you baby you basically it

maybe you screen shots of applications or windows and

a by a looks from application that based on G T K and like

this greatly improves a little

the work for translators it makes best think of translations way easier because you can

see the context of stinks in dialogues and windows which is great so the to

is standing a not extend of server

and our plans to integrate it with the translation but for their lies

dallas some issues that racial probably mention here

me all of us need more translators obviously

we need first about and

the maintenance beamformed them a nice if to my terrace kind play

on this issue for so i think

is thing or there

and the other one is called know

it's not here but i feel we need we need more people to work on

the all

on the unresolved issues to implement new features

and

to move the but for

then we have a potential booker for some translations for the upcoming the free point

then there is which is which are broken stats forty you came on the all

so we will probably talk to G T K developers that had that

neurotic and hope for this can be resolved before the will

before this to increase period starts

for free point and another issue is a change work for if get modules that

have submodules

which complicates things a bit for translators because it's

larry quite to use are slightly different

by to

to work with get more deals it reminds me of one more issue or why

one more planet to be able to see or we would like or feature that

we would like to see implemented in the near future and that's

probably automatic commenting or presentation files to get models i didn't with and no it's

not it's basically a lady do get someone do that also that will also fix

this someone else issue

we have what looks and translations section on the six all this starts a planner

and i want to

so we will be discussing some things related to

using kite this to things like that

transit the documentation obviously so all translators who are at the about nick

i really komplet and join us

on the sixth of august

got more so top of ricky page which artists list of topics that to be

you all slightly discuss between the

translators who are here

i think about it this year

and the last slide well this so

two things one is our we keep age or landing page for translators on the

beginning more and the other one is our translation but form out then and don't

number four so that's

and then there is at presentation and web and various new send and fat be

honest noise

and jack is marketing

so i make it might be faster if whoever is on deck

so there were so emily is on deck next maybe just a whoever's on to

come weight up front so that we at the end of the presentations to that

we move a little faster

this is where okay

well the no you saw it all echoing ruin

it's

alright do would be and i've been very lucky so why finishes the fizzle used

to help output a lot of what's the i don't of course to always needs

to be working pursuing person on what do you so fabulous most timid and filled

issues physically

right like slow of this last year we work in a bunch of new websites

for specific situations

and we worked and the happy birthday you know for our fifteen anniversary and it

was a basically a basic very big on landing page telling a bit of our

story and celebrating our birthday

there was a reprieve because like we just bought a domain and just slap it

on the right than and pointed people to that and it was like slightly similar

in style to like a regular website but still the different

then with this guy right we also work on the outreach for problem website that

we've been using the we key for all the content related to the program so

it's good to have a look for the program and ending page so we can

and spend aware about the program and tell about i protest apparent about our sponsors

and are plan is to keep improving this website and make it i would source

a tool for submitting applications and people applying for the program and make you know

selection so this is

up for the future

the good the cool thing about this guy right that we once did a round

and then we realise like well you is your browser or cell phone right it's

really shaded so we had one of our intern well it is right for you

all those are actually you brought it on myself

but so we have our one of our interns that were wearing changers is round

and you helped us and turn it into a response of design which is something

we would like to see what a lot of our other websites as well right

right

not young force et cetera moment yes but see it is that the conference and

we also did the glottic website are this year's conference

and this includes the whole paper submission says them and well there's a lot of

help and this website from we who work really hard and a lot of so

that specially registration which was really messy i don't know where easy he's here but

thanks a lot for him

now i think

we have been working really hard

saying we already have a light

and also there regulars the fixes you can number

like a it's like the basic face the project ride you go keep number or

you and we should be able to

ideally tell the world what we're actually making right

so will submit some small tweaks earn their basically unlike fixing things of them like

it's a lot of like just regular maintenance job right of like make it shorter

contents is up that they does like a really use to screenshots actually show the

latest release and not like two releases back

and we did and some changes to the front page because before it was just

a big banner and how much about the project right about what we do or

whatever are valued so we try to

makes things a bit and make it tell people more about us

and it was great thing because we were actually able to integrate the foundation pages

right where organisation which was previously like it's not that it's all identity and it

was like kind of off the side but it is the foundation of the product

right so we made sure to wide integrated which are seem a system which is

bill which is basically or purse right and make it made it easy for pretty

much anyone to actually change the content of the whole thing you know these matter

we've been on some so contributing to do a team is

it still is a bit i'm really painful it's kind of hard to set up

things locally and task that says and submit so we been trying to fix this

lately for the last couple of months

we you wrote a couple of tutorials for new contributors so they can like start

get started with setting up to their local instance so they can write code and

as their patches we also trying to get better at but still of the currently

are not very good at it

also with the help up and write a very think there and i just seems

like and this work are best friend entire world invited you set up a person's

as of what i'm on

so he has been helping us a lot on setting up a proper infrastructure for

testing and so we don't that's things live as we used to do don't tell

anyone we used to do that of course a test things but only test the

production right by for half an hour do you enjoy doing that or website is

why dutch

mass rightly you know i'm looking at or cellulite because it's all like asking i

don't know why and then i think what they don't work and that's i don't

know why and then all that stuff

and we also have to and during this heard this round of got which program

for women some if i thought and i'm you do we that in

which has a lot of problems because they have the same name and we thought

they were the same person and i but no they're to individual people who have

i and this ad see computer like they're from the same see the same university

so i was we we're working with talk about like for a while and then

some it do event sent an email like hey i would like to help and

like she's crazy to think helping for a while i

but then realised that they were two different people and apply yes so what anyway

us to start they really we're trying to fix that we did a dormitory which

currently look a bit all we're doing them

trying to redesign is to do you know there are to do with the morning

team and like to new brands the and we're trying to create a proper systems

for the O P W sides us it's easy to chew up to you great

but like that it without knowing kids

and that was we're gonna have a web development bob on this six afternoon so

if you're interested in helping there is a lot of things to do so please

stop by

and also for lexemes are for you to give as long sorry thank you

so i apologise and only for making hispanic for so long whoever signs that can

fit

you know so at and like on a to present on behalf of marketing

so

i mean we going to have a review site i think of that

and so marketing has done a lot of stuff over the last year we've done

the next in your report which i think we have printed we have right now

over the last year we've had two interns will talk about them more little bit

we also data access york city

and

it was really great i think that was the first actress for marketing in several

years i'm not sure how long exactly it's been a while and we had a

presence at six conferences

so we had who's

some sort of you know present that lisa conferences and then for the last

hear about now we've had biweekly phone meetings where everyone calls in to a

this opera freedom a centre is that right

gonna conservancy and they provided a calling for us so that we can all talk

to each other which is been really helpful to get stuff done to be talking

on the phone rather than some planner see

so this these are pictures from are testing york city which was really great we

were there in the beginning of june

we did a whole bunch of stuff the on the right is a picture of

our think that was a poster board that we ended up with that you know

it's all over with different ideas to try and figure out how to better market

ourselves we also did all sorts of brainstorming on different names for marketing we never

did come up with any solid decision so we're still marketing perhaps in the next

few months we'll figure something out

these are in terms that we've had for the last year on the right is

fovea and i'm probably gonna put her last name i apologise

why's it see

she was are in turn from january through march

and she did a whole bunch of stuff including developer interviews which i do believe

are online somewhere and i think she's done some interviews what's been here as well

she also the keyboard layout database where she asked for hopefully some of you participated

in it where you went in and told what layout you are using for what

language to help us get better feedback on which ones work best

this summer we have tiffany out who is over here she's been wondering on the

cupboards i know taking pictures and doing video interviews

and doing also to what do think wonderful things worse she's also been cleaning up

the life that you know not or website which is kind of a mess

if any of you got on the regularly it's

really just not well organised so she's been working that for us

that the last

and then this is the list of the various can events that we've done we

were at boston of course this year last year i ran a booth at all

hell in excess

which was the first time i think you know that it with their in at

least a couple years

so thank you cap are taking that on

i'm so whereabouts two months away now from our and of the financial year which

is end of september so as you can see we've got so

still a little bit to go and terms of thing some invoices and receiving some

payments

basically where waiting on i think approximately fifty thousand dollars from what members

thanks to the learnings foundational gets another that thousand this here which we weren't expecting

as you can see we've had so quite stable income and expenses and the last

with the last few years which means we can continue sponsoring have fast and so

a lots of five people to come to events like what that

this year we sponsored round fifty six people to be here

which is excellent

and this year we expect most of our income as normal to come from sponsorship

this has been the case for as long as i have seen and the

most of the rest of thing compounds from the advisory board

there isn't actually much more to say about budgets so if anyone has any questions

there isn't it

next happened jerry will give a system in for and i forgot to tell you

design jack

and i don't have to hand is coming here

hello one

sorry

my name is number very i'm currently being this some indian

we've been doing a lot of teams in the last year

what's up with the arbour side of things

we have many machines that were really all many of them were dated two thousand

four so they had nine years of life

and luckily many of them all the services that way running or many of them

where immigrated before they died

it's not that i like a team in the machine the discourse broken

likely the all the services were mere it already so six my old machines

of be recited

and thanks a lot of the product team for doing just war

the fees choose at the centre

and to new machines join of their our rack

just to machine are really huge and powerful and one of them is good keeping

used by calling about this i don't know if it's around here

for is austria project i like a lot don't a non but or

we have also revised are the rack that phoenix to

it was missing of the management consoles

so we could and of the by

bases on the physical machines

and we have we did that an inventor we of the machines we have there

and

the plan of the near future is to out all the machine attached to the

management consoles so we can reboot check the console ocean down a machine directly from

a web interface

and

we did introduce a lot of new services like on cloud the teacher part which

have been reported that it's not going really good but

it's probably the wireless the are not going really good

winter this is they cagey people

which is a replacement all the C of E C project it all it allows

you to have coming modifications all your project directly on you have see

and we also into this they years is services which is

a replacement for the knicks our and chance our of a bigger networks like free

not

unfortunately the

dig dug in that team

didn't want to well class to set up our services so we came up with

the replacement

and uses so see it in your channel it's a really it's called services

then we also revealed job or

and we set up the by service that connie runs

and we also did papa ties puppet is are centralised management system that allows you

to give all the configuration files and one place

and you can

create a lot of machines with that configuration files without having to modify the files

by hand on each of these machines

and

all the websites i think be moved to the props is

in a fail over us adapt so we have to process

and

we ran an apache server in front of the proxies

and these approaches servers is create it redirecting all the requests

to ssl so pretty much all the services we never run are not be on

a so sell

real subway to are aware weekly well we run on older a very old instance

and we have great to running the one that nine don't seven money maureen really

is

which is the last this

and

the neural is a stronger bus or ashes so i wasn't just you if you

didn't already to

change your passion and get the then you hash

we also did a lot of mean creations and this is connected to the fact

that many machines where or psycho

so we moved to our and of us males

to machine that one of this is i mean it's donated to the young foundation

is name is just further i don't know if anyone knows in it an editor

the machines so we move the a lot of services to these machines included manifest

plastics and i guess

we also upgraded or the machines to rile six top for

and to do that this ranges of the S because some machines are also by

canonical

and long done so we ran we random will just on them

and then we improved our nuggets interface

in introducing a lot of new checks i guess is in is a monitoring tool

that allows you to

keep track of all the services your run in your reflexes door and get notifications

if something goes wrong

so we introduce of a lot of set of new checks and we introduce of

those the czech and okay which is let's call up logan

an additional software for now i guess

that bus adding more statuses track

we did move

our L doubts ever as well and we introduce

as the which is a replacement for and has lcd

and they're very nice thing about as that the is the fact that it allows

you to keep a cache of the look in centuries

so in the case the main L ducks ever goes down we know that this

a side means can get into the machine

we don't they need to request wary the L down

but the base

and we just set up a replica to

we also revealed well the weirder much as we have

and

i'm really thanks for to the also all theme the open so slap team from

the oregon state university that is currently donating for retirement for which are machines

and chilled than two of them are the ones that andreas pointed out before and

are currently being used up by the you know the norms and website in

the last to them which is very or

rest and

is the fact they did move the can only spinal server to be the norm

instructors or

so we than on systems assortment in is clergyman ageing or also the X finals

or machine so we can make sure that all the changes are directly down by

but it's assortment

okay the should be all

i see we have that's fine

are you know i see as the camera

here in here at okay

okay

i

again next a best i wanna say you to pronounce in here this is time

and this is that with right here to say if i was to hear something

so you know okay

so you for chinese are going to just i would have to sign a and

we have that event situation so we learned many things to voice able to a

new city to collaboration with the auto companies and we have a can i use

as a video and do some see this year we have a common seen corey

out as the so it's a very beautiful place here and discovering so we have

a talk i would have a two hundred attended in this in this year and

we have made talk here but that's one interesting see because our attended seating for

a post and they are the engineer and the workers use very is very not

a interesting thing for a less these friends okay so they after all users but

you will see the are in korea idea most they are probably not devour

but according the last year it spans we wanted to sound sponge earlier okay because

we tried to find some way to draw so well this year we will be

releasing know or korea teen they do that we also will because so they are

no close upon limitless puncher only almost car the sixty percent of our parking for

intonational spongy almost care are have about eighteen abbas and a kid so

but i must say we are still the because of the this is always you

see okay i and now we know we are not going all you know in

a show but which i found some way to the own now but i really

want to say we just need you were supposed we have a portable and i

think that the people you to real over know don't like to have some other

people you actually well known the rice i okay we have portal we really want

to choose of all you to the H already so i wanna show video to

everyone okay

sorry

for this year's comers

thank you so but i think we will our project on and then the and

also well we must think of the that was the but most important i want

to sing but now okay so go about it

i we have at the time and every now talking and that a new initiative

that they're working on the T F that you

and i think and on and check

i decision about the and i don't know you have to talk about that but

i think it stands for remaining aesop and culture and

so

so how do you how it up to have a so called started so i

got all or selected in as an O P W intern not in drowned by

and experience was quite remarkable but they'll help that a court from a mental and

of the support from marty now bastion was really wonderful it all as me google

my expertise and all at most people was really going to and i really wanted

to share all with other women the support of the take or to do and

i wanted to create a platform for that and that sorry i started up the

pissing and i can it's a tell the well i have been working as a

software engineer and there are quite a few women who would really love to contribute

to open so softer but they did not know how so one they're ignorant about

opportunities and to the also he's at and so id wanted to address that situation

so

so how we decided to get started was to just jump into the scene and

start conducting workshops on since it's a women and fee software and culture group we

started with having a workshop one localisation since in the other country of many languages

so we thought that was the best way to combine fee software and culture and

that was on a bunch of freedom be which was on may twentieth and decently

be padded get workshop because good is i think a very important get we will

can suppose contribution and don i'll get workshop with the tinted by about sixty people

out of is thirty we have women so they were also mentor thirty women and

don a you know the whole it's a big group everything be well had some

nasty disagreements and one of these was that many of the people in the community

the group believe that only force users should be participate is but right now we

sort of did a vision conclusion that we should probably get them in we use

what we know it i know it's to again is gonna become most users and

if you want users to start contributing so that's not what

and

no

so here we are and what it and you got is that one of the

most important things for groups a remote looks like are just to have offline participation

as well because most of are events where online and don so that's one thing

that you want to focus on

but the offline events would also all

start out of a magazine but i cannot feature them and contributors and of all

show "'cause" they're work so that they can act as a role model which i

don't think we have volume open source i'm not sure you might have but i

would like to definitely like to start one and also create all need fourteen platform

which help a lot in that you know goal all your expertise and all get

to know would work all but one can join and that kind of stuff and

that's all but we have to see and

do you go to can impossible doesn't anybody please join also meeting is which is

on the website double if it's in the or don't want you

thank you

so now i'm gonna basically just give you a little update on

that's a that's to

after

we're gonna talk about i actually things up a little bit order right and service

on the

so

i just i want to give you guys a little update on and what the

foundation i have been up to

perhaps one of the most exciting things that's happened is that we set are our

privacy campaign and we met our goal so thank you guys so much this is

all you're operating your donations and thank you i just around

what i things i like about the about doing the campaigns like a privacy campaign

and before it the accessibility campaign is that it sets outright deals you know is

thing is the opening to so i won't belabour it too much but it's that's

our ideals for everybody else to see and then we become litres in that field

and that's one of the things that it started happening with the privacy campaign so

we it a lot us the fact that we were already carrying

publicly about privacy made us you know able to have a voice and stop watching

us and so the other stuff that is happening that's rather very relevant in the

news so that's pretty exciting it's generated a lot of positive press foreground and i

you know i think that having these really like ideologically focused

campaigns helps us sort of position you know in a you can system as

you know organisation enough we saw for project that always does the right thing and

that carries

so we accessibility

we don't privacy we're definitely not done with either of these we were saying that

twenty twelve as the your of accessibility act know but it was kind of silly

was like an inspiring yes this is the year but really every year should be

the your accessibility if you know men every year should be the your privacy you

know and so what's next let me know what your ideas are you know i'd

love to sort of stay with is like you know putting our you know putting

our feet down for the things that we care about most

the advisory board is an important functioning of the foundation as i think most of

you know the advisory board is a collection of

our company supporters and

and as cat was indicating our price reports financially support us and you know and

in you know what they do you also is they serve on a board that

has no voting power over the foundation that's you guys you guys have all the

power voting over runs the foundation and what it does but the advisory board is

there to act as advisers and the port often six their advice on important matters

at the foundation the it buys we board meet quarterly but this past year we

decided to make another meeting an in person meeting so at the day after this

conference and the advisory board members will meet in person and

have a full day of discussion and the phone calls we how usually last an

hour and we choose like a topic that helps in for me restaurant or what's

going on our in house it a great discussion that will help us going forward

so we do one here we do wanted files them as well now

are rise reports data active evolved and we had a to a new adviser remember

as you mentioned

overall our sponsorship i'm kind of duplicating a little bit of what cats it's a

sorry about that but overall sponsorship in of itself increase in amount a numbers released

in our outstanding invoices but a lot of that has to do with the outreach

program for women

and it basically the more sponsorship that comes in for hours forever women the more

goes out directly in

in term payments so that program is it's gotta financially has not so much impact

on our finances but it makes us look like where i you know we're taking

a lot more money

i'm constantly looking for ideas of new sources of funding any partners so come talk

to me i think most of you know "'cause" i've talked to most of you

that as an executive director the board are my bosses but really i record all

you so you've any ideas if you've anything that you think i should be doing

you know whatever you think just contact me

one thing that i like to point out this year is that

the is this is a graph of our donations from individuals as of the end

of the last fiscal year and is you can see in the disco your twenty

twelve receive more donations of individuals then in any prior your by a lot

so that was really exciting and i think part of it was the excitement generated

by the accessibility campaign and part of it was just that i think people who

cared about know i think you know a lot of cross was mixed that you

know and that not i am and i think that people who cared about no

more really immobilise to get you know people really wanted to support you know so

i thought that was really great to see

on staff we added a new part time employee we

heard from him earlier under very

so you're holding a part time employee part time contract or if the iris on

that we would be in trouble

that in mind for my next slide so we're going to have employees but not

really your a team plays a contract or

and this is actually on my intention for this light emitting employees what's you mention

arizona because i you she we i've never thank you were for at the A

G M but she works so hard for the foundation and for ending for example

in the last year we've been ramping up the outreach program for women and just

so excited we adding more interns and adding more organisations adding more invoices to send

and adding more wires to send and it was on is just taken that a

lot and her work flow and i would love it people

i wasn't going to say that she also reminds me of things i forget but

i think we demonstrated that a as the last thing under this is that we're

moving our corporate home since we're is on is moving to california to meeting all

of the like really boring paperwork that needs to be filed and we were consequently

it's a message is just me moving to california so we're moving our corporate home

because california is actually technically where you know is incorporated so it

that's relevant for the foundation but probably not that exciting

so examples of some of the things that i do

i get the word out i do a lot of interviews this was a really

wacky your i was on king in public broadcast which is really fun and i

never done for your before and that was pretty strange if you regular outcast and

video interviews and things and i

i guess i appear on the conference circuit which is little bit weird

i have this part of my job which i the part of my job that

i hate which is fundraising is miserable there's rules but it's a really important and

really big part of what i do i facilitative and so i'm active in all

of that and organs at organising around what i can come each and how fast

i does representative for the project so it's you know i'm just basically out there

is being on behalf of gnome so when others are and happy about something that's

going on we can project they often contact me which is really useful because a

lot of times people contact me before they speak publicly about it and sometimes there's

misunderstanding or so that's something that i do that isn't that visible as we're pointing

out really are i'm also lawyer maybe not as careful of one just i know

kitty but i do a lot of trademarks work and answer licensing questions and things

like that african own and i just ducked as a general coordinator with the board

strange i wanted to say that mention the fact that i we're coming up on

the thirtieth anniversary of you know about can you and as a you know music

new project and i think that

you know that other you know project and its membership are like

really so driven by the ideals of freedom and all of that is represented by

the can you project so you'll probably see some things about the celebration of the

anniversary of can you and i think names gonna get involved in if you'd like

to participate in that let me know

which leads us to the last item i have on my slides which is the

pencil work

but before we to

hence award

just very exciting

we have a short

thank you

and so this year the short thank you okay so someone who

yes now sometimes pay to for his working you know but has worked tirelessly especially

before he was hired as a part time contract or so the short thank you

got sound repair

how much time to before we hired him it was like a

like twenty four hours a day was crazy and you know we've been giving out

like these T shirt thank yous before the pants every year and i just sort

of thought that it would be fun to have to kind of formalise it this

is the only can be want and

one handed last year but had centre with maria

and i was very exciting but which

also the parents first

they're black

they're simple

have elegant

the winner have this year is one of the people who are

liaisons between the different teams of you know he will act as a bridge between

a lot of different community is he has started initiative every dtel matters

and is a very value contribute or design team he's a leader the marketing team

he does so much work above and beyond

i've can tell you how many conversations i've had with him online when he should

have been asleep at three o'clock the morning

alan day

that i know that it there but it's cats but

that's all right

so

we are quite a and the add additional and the A G M ways to

announce the next one ike location but we already know what that is that so

the last two presentations are gonna be events that are upcoming and so first

we have i don't of front talking about next year's

so i was organising but that should doesn't fortune but so are you that this

is the last word

so i don't know what do you think should lose so still that

right

we have confirmed we definitely gonna be in montreal on the canadian thanksgiving the real

thanksgiving in other words we can october twelve thirteen fourteen were being generously hosted by

software for linux other this cooler but that's got offices and montreal ottawa lying complexity

and we're probably gonna be at their offices but it's kind of in flux right

now so like you get everybody like especially this year to put their name on

the participants list of their tentative are confirmed because we might have to move it

to a larger venue if things get really but so you on the trail

thank you are going to be a can encourage your account friends you apply for

membership and that thank you

i realise that this is an official meeting in the membership does anybody have any

motions
