Cyrus meeting minutes: 24 July 2017

[Nicola Nye]

*Who came: *Bron, Ellie, Ken, Robert, Nicola, Partha

*What we spoke about:*

Bron
 * Just returning back from IETF in Prague (exchanging Aussie winter for European summer)
 * JMAP session went very well, with agreement on message submission and managing request list.
 * Sticking points are not using HTTP/2 magic, and authentication
   * HTTP2 ok for transport, but don't want to throw away all the JMAP style objects and use HTTP verbs and connection multiplexing.
   * For now, assuming that the user is authenticated "somehow".
 * JMAP changes from IETF to be written up in the coming week(s).
 * There will be a hackathon at IETF100 in Singapore in November. We want to make Cyrus and the proxy fully JMAP compatible for people to play with.
 * We are considering getting a JMAP implementation working in an open source client. 
 * Spent some time on ARC - designed to fix DMARC for mailing lists.
Robert

 * Multi-account support, but has some JMAP dependencies.
 * Keeping Cyrus JMAP up to date with JMAP spec updates.
 * Investigating a crash in Xapian seen in FastMail production
 * TC-API RFC draft updates
Ken
 * SASL release management: a new RC coming this week with docs
 * Less than 100 issues left in GitHub for SASL!
 * Task attachment
 * ip-mask filtering
 * Per-user calendar alarms for Cyrus caldav (up to a month worth of work)
Partha
 * Working on Cyrus SASL tests - pulling apart Cassandane to support testing something that's not imapd. Non-trivial!
 * Will be updating SASL source to convert spaces to tabs, matching our standards in imapd. 
Ellie
 * Build management for Cyrus SASL docs
 * Imapd Prometheus support first draft complete and under review!
Nicola
 * SASL docs. Now all live on www.cyrusimap.org/sasl
 * Full set of man pages online and the docs structured to match imapd.
All
 * Random issues out of our GitHub backlog continue to be assigned out to the team, 5 per person per week.
 * The backlog shrinks!
*Next meeting*

You are very welcome to come and join in the hangouts. (You will need a headset/speakers to listen in, but video is optional. Many of us just use text-chat) 
 * Meet the people who are working on Cyrus!
 * Get advice about any issues you're stuck on with administration or
   development.
 * If you're interested in helping out, we have plenty of things we need
   help with that are suitable for first timers.
If you're a package maintainer, we definitely want to talk to you and find out how we can help get Cyrus imapd/sasl updated in the next distribution!
