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
i got
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
because
okay
that's great news because
the truth is strasbourg is the best place in the world

yes it's in france
and it's known for its gets you goal

agenda at the thank you are for things to patients and at these kinds of
the break you need tamara i think it's gonna be great bring it have question

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
