Notes 22 Jan 2018

[Bron Gondwana]

ellie:
* will be in office tomorrow - setting up build environment on
  new laptop* need to discuss JMAP in 3.0

Partha:
* most of last week was spent on zeroskip
  - have iterators for both in-memory and multiple types of on-
    disk format  - locking in place
  - code is on cyrusimap github repo
* last couple of weeks didn't have Bron around, but back now
* this is a short week (Australia Day on Friday) and off for 3
  days next week
Robert:
* jscalendar - RFC draft is v5 now.
  - confident that it's ready for acceptance
  - off the list discussion about tasks details
  - waiting for more feedback on tasks: when tasks start
  - at the moment we can track when a task is completed, but not when
    work started  - next step - official call on Calsify list
* Ken - giving it a slow careful read - will be done by next week
  (CalConnect)* Robert will update slides for Ken to use for presentation
* Ken and Mike will discuss parameters on properties for tasks
* JMAP in 3.0 - why remove it?
  - best thing to do - not only about format of JMAP request envelopes,
    but also data inside it.  - will make people unhappy if they build applications on top of an API
    which has been outdated for months.  - Bron approves
* Have two feature branches in limbo.
* smtp API rewrite
  - was asking about SMTP authentication on TCP-based backends.
  - suggest just pushing to master as is
  - for SMTP authentication - just put in config file - can include a
    file with more sensitive data* index attachments
  - people at FastMail have been on leave, hence lack of movement
* JMAP code refactor
  - currently concentrating efforts on - started last week
  - generally looks fine
  - would like to show a prototype next week for at least one type of
    JMAP method call to decide how to go forward  - would like to generalise validation code - thinking about
    implementing poor-man's JSON-schema validation
Bron:
* just got back from being away for 2 weeks.

Testing append cost on large mailboxes:
* test appending on mailboxes with different scale of messages (10, 100,
  1000, etc...) and see how performance scales.* Robert will look at.

Ken:
* finally got laptop where it needs to be after replacing hard drive
  (Windows partition booting)* had to reinstall Linux - back to where Cyrus build works.
* wasted more of the week than wanted to
* working on some FastMail tickets as well
* Bron - bug Apple and Google people about bugs in their products at
  CalConnect!* This week
  - preparing slides on sharing and proxying/delegation to get a
    discussion going  - make sure VPOLL works so Mike and Ken can do a demonstration
  - next week?  Change time of call?
  - make Australian early morning?
  - tibbs, nic maybe.

NEXT WEEK: Tuesday 8am Melbourne == Monday 1pm for Ken == Monday 10pm
for Robert. (UTC 2100)
Nicola:
* wanted to know if JMAP 3.0 was out, tibbs wanted to know.  Hadn't
  clearly communicated to list.  - Robert will mail list to explain what's happening.
  - or ellie, as release manager.
* want to make sure west/central US aren't left out all the time, so
  maybe do alternating meeting times.  - don't have regular contributors outside FM right now
  - might be more if we do more outreach
  - invite people to the meetings
  - Ken will invite people - figure out if we want to alternate times.
  - we also know who we've been dealing with, so individual invites can
    be made too - ellie from bugs/list.  - be nice to get 3.0 / 3.2 into next major releases.
* coverage on IRC channel
  - Ken needs a better client (popups, etc). Ditto Robert.
  - irccloud is good for phone - also has bouncer
  - why not use slack for Cyrus?  Hard for drive-by people, non-open-
    source, etc.  - on the flip side, lots of idle people on IRC who might not really
    be around.  - people who want to administer Cyrus - maybe happier staying with
    IRC.
Calconnect:
* Robert - be good to talk to Peter from Ribose
* Nicola - would like to write up ideas about what would be good to see
  in calendars* Per-user vs shared calendars, how delegation is supposed to work

SASL release:
* the guy who's been testing GSSAPI issue will try to get back to it
  this week - just moving slowly.* Ken isn't GSSAPI expert and doesn't have infrastructure any more
