@diasdavid Do you still see those? Did you just take that screenshot? It should only show the All Hands Call today.

[daviddias]

yeah, the screenshot was from just now, I still see them.

[flyingzumwalt]

FYI I've updated the agenda etherpad for the all hands call with all the proposals from this thread.

All solved, my calendar looks good. Seems that it was a sync problem.

Checking in for Github

• We should continue to check in on the Sprint issue
• But this isn't happening
• We should also have a section about things which we said we could do, but don't
• @jbenet: I don't know if we're going with Kanban or Agile, or so on, and this will make sense later. Super important to track though.
• @dignifiedquire: Writing the tasks is a waste of time if we have Boards. We need to be able to check things at places in time, though, and take a screenshot (or some other way of capturing time-sensitive information), once a week or so.
• @jbenet: We can discuss this, and what models we want, on GitHub
• TODO: @diasdavid Open a GitHub issue about this topic so we can discuss it async

PM Process Discussions

• Note for new people: We are working on our process right now; in particular, we're trying to get our model down.
• After Lisbon, the goal is to put together a process for managing our projects in the IPFS community.
• We need to find a general-enough process that we can use, but that people can choose to opt into (or not).
• Some IPFS projects may need this now, however.
• So far, a lot of discussion about how we do PM. First, we've been figuring out the model - as @jbenet says, "figuring our the description for the process so that you can implement it with post-it notes if needed."
• There's a document in a PR ((WIP) Project Management Process document #131) that is good, and we're working on feedback for that
• We need some tool which can be automated, though: roadmaps, milestones, tags, and so on. Ideally, something does this all for you (CI hook, or something similar).
• @jbenet: What should people do this week while we hash this out?
• TODO: @ipfs/devs: Add your sprint todos this Monday for the following work, using the old method, while we figure out how we want this to look. Explicit decision: Use what we used to do that worked (aka huge markdown lists in the sprint issue).
• This pertains to: @richardlit, @jbenet, @flyingzumwalt, @haadoce, @dignifiedquire, @diasdavid, @Kubuxu, @whyrusleeping, @nicola
• Anyone want to get involved, but havent yet?
• @RichardLitt: Waiting becuase there are a lot of cooks, would like to get involved when you feel it is a good time.
• @dignifiedquire: I'd also like to know, but when there is a draft.
• @haadcode: Review it this week; next week is tooling.

MFS

@jbenet: All the bike sheds! Can we do this over GitHub?
@diasdavid: If we commit to that, but over a couple of days, not two months, if possible?
@jbenet will do.

PubSub

@diasdavid: Breakout Discussion!!

• What do we do with our time, research, prototype, and so on.

When: Immediately after this call

IPLD

Scheduled.

Renaming

@diasdavid: Should be part of the libp2p discussion
@jbenet: I can't make that call, and this should be on github.
TODO: Can we prioritize that issue? (Yes)

RFI about Q2 Update

@jbenet: I'm preparing an update on Q2 for the whole IPFS project. Highlighting a lot of important things, too.
I will post a skeleton or a draft and tag relevant people about this (also needs pictures!).
@RichardLitt: Let me haaaalpp

Done. Retrospective

Done in under 45 minutes. We'll tighten this up.
