[2008-05-21 15:05:30] <PhilippL> seems not so
[2008-05-21 15:05:32] <PhilippL> 2. Current state of the open CWS's 
[2008-05-21 15:05:45] <PhilippL> aquavcl07 is RfQ, aquabmpfix01 is approved !

[2008-05-21 15:05:54] <ericb2> great :)

[2008-05-21 15:07:00] <PhilippL> 3. Update outdated information about Mac OS X port on the wiki
[2008-05-21 15:07:16] <PhilippL> ericb2 ?
[2008-05-21 15:07:37] <ericb2> PhilippL: sorry, was discussing  :)
[2008-05-21 15:07:45] <ericb2> PhilippL: yes, there are a lot of old pages
[2008-05-21 15:08:02] <ericb2> PhilippL: and we should ask people to help udating information
[2008-05-21 15:08:20] <ericb2> PhilippL: Mac OS X version will change for Aqua, and most of wiki pages are X11 oriented
[2008-05-21 15:08:44] <hdu_hh> I already changed many of the pages a user sees first
[2008-05-21 15:09:08] <ericb2> hdu_hh: was it you for the mac page ?
[2008-05-21 15:09:14] <hdu_hh> yup
[2008-05-21 15:09:17] <ericb2> hdu_hh: nice work :)
[2008-05-21 15:09:29] <hdu_hh> thanks!
[2008-05-21 15:09:47] <ericb2> hdu_hh: I'll try to write a list of good candidates for the upgrade
[2008-05-21 15:09:49] <hdu_hh> all the big red warnings and the X11 crap annoyed me
[2008-05-21 15:10:01] <ericb2> and post on mc@porting, asking for volunteers
[2008-05-21 15:10:06] <ericb2> hdu_hh: me too
[2008-05-21 15:10:53] -->| dave_largo (n=drichard@207.22.154.120) has joined #ooo_macport
[2008-05-21 15:10:54] <hdu_hh> since Aqua doesn't have an official release yet except for the 3.0Beta we can't remove more of the X11 references for now
[2008-05-21 15:11:02] <ericb2> any volunteeer for the job ?
[2008-05-21 15:11:44] <hdu_hh> and I'd LOVE to have stable download pages for official releases, previews and regular milestones...
[2008-05-21 15:12:07] <hdu_hh> but there is none to be found on the OOo website
[2008-05-21 15:12:59] <hdu_hh> kudos to MAHO, he makes great builds and provides stable links to downloads
[2008-05-21 15:13:50] <hdu_hh> currently someone (e.g.) me has to tweak the pages for each milestone
[2008-05-21 15:17:10] <PhilippL> 4. WWDC 2008 : start a wiki page
[2008-05-21 15:18:06] <ericb2> PhilippL: yes, something like last year
[2008-05-21 15:19:06] <ericb2> PhilippL: e.g. I think I'll take more rendez-vous in the Labs than last year
[2008-05-21 15:20:50] <PhilippL> yes, that's a good idea.
[2008-05-21 15:20:59] <shaunmcdonald> there is a list of things that we were wanting to discuss at the indefinately postponed 3rd mac porters meeting
[2008-05-21 15:21:17] <ericb2> PhilippL: + meet us for true, could be a good occasion to define (more define) some roadmap for the future, and discuss about code face to face (more efficient imho )
[2008-05-21 15:21:28] <PhilippL> Also, please send us any questions we should ask on WWDC on your behalf. Or add them to the new wiki page.
[2008-05-21 15:22:11] <ericb2> shaunmcdonald: yes, I'm sorry, it was not possible for me to attend: I'll be in Paris this week, in Besancon the next one , then WWDC , then RMLL France ..my wife is not so happy ;)
[2008-05-21 15:22:20] <ericb2> PhilippL: I'll prepare one
[2008-05-21 15:22:39] <ericb2> PhilippL: and I'll try to organize a private rendez-vous with Apple eng ( at least I'll ask MS )
[2008-05-21 15:23:32] <ericb2> any candidate for preparing the wWDC page on the wiki ?
[2008-05-21 15:25:17] <ericb2> PhilippL: I'll prepare the wiki page for WWDC 2008
[2008-05-21 15:25:27] <PhilippL> great.

[2008-05-21 15:26:22] <PhilippL> 5. Roundtable
[2008-05-21 15:26:25] <ericb2> @all : I'll announce the creation of the page on the mac@porting list. Please contribute if you have suggestions
[2008-05-21 15:26:34] * ericb2 got a news 
[2008-05-21 15:27:00] <ericb2> the association we have created with some friends, is now able to receive donations
[2008-05-21 15:27:29] <ericb2> I'll communicate soon the IBAN .. and so on
[2008-05-21 15:27:42] <ericb2> this would avoid the issue we had recently
[2008-05-21 15:29:32] <ericb2> no opinion ?
[2008-05-21 15:30:30] <PhilippL> every opportunity furthering the cause of the community is a good one of course.
[2008-05-21 15:32:14] <PhilippL> ok that seems to be it for today ?
[2008-05-21 15:34:54] * ericb2 will take some time to blog about the macport
