Minutes April 13th

[Bron Gondwana]

Present: Bron, Jeroen, Ken, Matt, Simon, Ellie

Anthony has resigned from the Cyrus Foundation due to personality conflicts and cultural mismatch with the team.  I have reverted the commits that happened during the week that I was was away, and then cherry-picked the ones that I was satisfied were stable or easily fixable.

We still plan to go ahead with simplifying the configure script - but we'll do it as small, testable changes and make sure they keep working with our target plaforms and don't block everyone else's workflow.

We plan to switch to compiling with --std=c99 and targetting all new code work to c99 best practices.  First we need to make sure existing code compiles with c99.

Ken: has a bunch of commits almost ready to go, but just needed to track down one more bug first.

Matt: has been away for a month, moving and had a good holiday.  Welcome back.  Is going to work on cleaning up lib/ - working with Jeroen to make sure it all works with the configure changes.

Ken: libical - almost everything currently used by Cyrus in is libical git.  There's a bug on nonsense recrurrence startdate which causes it to spin forever - needs to be fixed.

Ellie: new sync code on master.  Will back it out from 2.5 for 2.5.1 release - probably tomorrow.

Bron: got it compiling with clang.  Bugfixes for some issues at FastMail.  Master is on FastMail testing now, with Ellie's changes.  Worked together to make sync backwards compatible back to 2.4.  Planning to ship master code to FM production tomorrow if issues with dav database can be tracked down.

We have a potential new programmer who applied to FastMail at just the right time, and is interested in working on Cyrus.  He's a programming student in France.  Bron and Pierre to Skype interview during the week.  Hoping to meet in person while Bron is in Europe in early May.

Cyrus talk at openSUSE/Kolab summit: need to prepare Abstract and Bio - Hans is on my case!

Due to the daylight savings changes squashing Europe closer to Australia, the UTC 2200 time doesn't work so well any more, so the next meeting will be pushed later on Thursday:  2015-04-16T11:00:00Z.

Bron.
