**\<anonimal>** Hello
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** Hi
**\<ArticMine>** Hi
**\<ajs>** Yo
**\<anonimal>** ping rehrar
**\<rehrar>** Yeah I'm here. Sorry.
**\<rehrar>** Finishing something up with wife. Done in 2.
**\<anonimal>** 2 what?
**\<rehrar>** Min. Sorry.
**\<rehrar>** Ok. You have 100% rehrar now.
**\<anonimal>** 2. Brief review of what's been completed since the previous meeting
**\<anonimal>** For me, in addition to the usual project work + review/collab, testnet development and a big chunk of time spent toward a complete NTCP rewrite
**\<anonimal>** We last met on the 24th, that week was productive, last week was a very productive 60 hour week, this week was very unproductive.
**\<anonimal>** (for me)
**\<anonimal>** Sunday's Vegas shooting has kept me pre-occupied as well as finally getting to long-standing non-kovri personal tech things resolved.
**\<rehrar>** I can bump docs by myself, finished the Spanish translation. First draft of Russian translation should be done tomorrow. Started new website construction. Obtained svgs of Kovri logo from FP (should I push them anywhere?) and worked on the press kit.
**\<rehrar>** Oh, I'm all set up for Kovri twitter now also, and can ask a few questions regarding that later this meeting.
**\<anonimal>** Yes, meta repo like we discussed. If they go on the site then kovri-site.
**\<anonimal>** Anything else for point 2.?
**\<erciccione\_[m]>** hi everybody
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** Not much for me, i understand better some of the weird ssu numbers that i had, but still need more debugging
**\<anonimal>** Ok
**\<anonimal>** There's been a lot of new French translation work, collab between woodyjon and MoroccanMalinois. rehrar will you summarize any other team translation work?
**\<rehrar>** Sure.
**\<rehrar>** So the translation efforts have been, at least from my end, focused on the BTC Manager article that they put out about Kovri. We agreed it's a really good Kovri intro and we can point noobs to Kovri there for them to understand more about the project.
**\<rehrar>** I'm taking on Spanish and Russian, and I think I found a Dutch guy who is interested in translating.
**\<anonimal>** Ok, great
**\<rehrar>** On another front, we are also receive awesome help from woodyjon with the French translation of the site.
**\<rehrar>** I will start doc Russian translation also
**\<erciccione\_[m]>** @rehrar i'm gonna make the italian translation of the article as soon as i get my stuff back (moving home)
**\<anonimal>** rehrar: Yes, I just mentioned woodyjon. He's also working on the few bits in kovri-site?
**\<anonimal>** erciccione\_[m]: great
**\<rehrar>** There was a second article featuring anonimal from BTC Manager a bit ago, and anyone is free to translate it. There is a repo set up at https://GitHub.com/rehrar/monero-translations
**\<anonimal>** 3. Contributor FFS check-in / status
**\<rehrar>** Yeah. Woodyjon is making quick work of the site.
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** Nothing new for me
**\<anonimal>** I'm chugging along.
**\<rehrar>** Majority hours are going to Monero right now. Planned on finished cranking out a huge chunk of Kovri hours for Monero in the next two days.
**\<anonimal>** MoroccanMalinois: are you don't with your last milestone? I've lost track of how many meetings you've said you'd be done with it by now so I'm starting to get a little concerned. I know at least more than 3 meetings.
**\<anonimal>** Is everything ok?
**\<anonimal>** \*done
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** unexpected professional obligations ... i prefer to submit what i already have before asking for a milestone, but it requires more debugging ...
**\<anonimal>** Ok, but *if* you've put in the hours already then I think you should get the payout.
**\<anonimal>** Otherwise people are wondering what you're doing (it's been at least 2 months since last milestone completion and no further info in the forum thread).
**\<anonimal>** Does that sound fair?
**\<ArticMine>** Maye an informal update?
**\<ArticMine>** Maybe
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** Sounds fair, will publish something soon
**\<anonimal>** Ok, sounds good.
**\* anonimal** hopes your unexpected obligations go smoothly
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** me too :)
**\<anonimal>** Anything else on point 3 FFS check-in?
**\<anonimal>** 4. Code + ticket discussion / Q & A
**\<anonimal>** One thing that wasn't mentioned in the brief review was selsta's contributions and ongoing work. We now have colored logging to console and, last I heard, selsta is working on kovri-util cpuid functionality.
**\* anonimal** checks issue trackers for point 4
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** One question: on testnet floodfill instances keeps indefinitely trying to build a session with themselves since they are in the reseed zip (hence number of SessionRequest that keeps increasing), should we try to skip building this session based on IP comparison ?
**\<anonimal>** I take it you've somehow implementing something which allows only a specific number of floodfills to be created rather than every RI?
**\<anonimal>** Or is every router still --floodfill?
**\<selsta>** anonimal: yes cpuid is my next project. although I havent started yet as uni is quite challenging :/
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** nope, that's what happens with current testnet (for my tests, i disable ntcp)
**\<anonimal>** selsta: good to hear :)
**\<anonimal>** MoroccanMalinois: that's a good question, I'll have to look at the code and get back to you after the meeting.
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** k thanks
**\<anonimal>** meta/#118 is still open, I haven't heard a chirp from pigeons in a while. pigeons is this an easy fix?
**\* anonimal** still can't connect that machine
**\<anonimal>** meta/#77 still hasn't been resolved, I know we talked about it with fluffypony many meetings ago.
**\<anonimal>** Any last thoughts on meta/#113?
**\<i2p-relay> {-fluffypony}** \<- on vacation still
**\<rehrar>** #12 too no?
**\<anonimal>** Ooo vacation, nice :)
**\<rehrar>** Have a good life fluffypony
**\<i2p-relay> {-fluffypony}** lol
**\<rehrar>** When do you return?
**\<anonimal>** ArticMine erciccione\_[m] rehrar last thoughts on meta/#113?
**\<anonimal>** Can it be closed now?
**\<rehrar>** Nothing further to add. I can close it unless anyone else has anything more.
**\<erciccione\_[m]>** nothing from me
**\<rehrar>** Going once.
**\<anonimal>** serhack started? work on kovri-site/#4, how's that coming along serhack?
**\<rehrar>** Twice?
**\<rehrar>** Closed
**\<serhack>** hey!
**\<serhack>** I'm waiting for rehrar :slightly_smiling_face:
**\<ArticMine>** Ok
**\<rehrar>** Oh?
**\<serhack>** :) in order to design the page :
**\<anonimal>** Ok. Yes, that will require some collab between you two.
**\<i2p-relay> {-fluffypony}** rehrar: Oct 15
**\<anonimal>** Any questions about kovri-site/#4, rehrar?
**\<rehrar>** Not super sure what all this is, or what is required of me.
**\<rehrar>** I know it's been an ongoing conversation for a while. Do we just need to print Serhack stuff on the page?
**\<serhack>** okay, let's explain to rehrar
**\<serhack>** yes rehrar
**\<rehrar>** Ok, then that shouldn't be an issue. On every page of Kovri site?
**\<anonimal>** ...
**\<anonimal>** No, let's talk more after the meeting.
**\<serhack>** :( no
**\<serhack>** don't be worried
**\<rehrar>** Sure thing. Sorry for my misunderstanding.
**\<anonimal>** re: meta/#87, more people should get involved with meta/#87 so we can wrap it up.
**\<anonimal>** Should something go on reddit?
**\<rehrar>** I'll post right after this meeting.
**\<rehrar>** If that's what we decide.
**\<rehrar>** There's a lot of big discussions going on right now, like the project relicensing issue, as well.
**\<rehrar>** ArticMine, would you mind looking at that PR?
**\<rehrar>** https://github.com/monero-project/meta/pull/87
**\<ArticMine>** I'll take at look at #87
**\<rehrar>** Thanks!
**\<anonimal>** rehrar: kovri-site/#3, did a draft ever come up for a quickstart?
**\<anonimal>** re-introducing a simple quickstart section to the readme is trivial but I don't think you had that in mind?
**\<rehrar>** Kovri site #3 is changing the link color
**\<anonimal>** We're running out of time, let's talk more later.
**\<rehrar>** Ok.
**\<anonimal>** s/kovri-site/kovri-docs/
**\<anonimal>** oops
**\<rehrar>** Ok. We'll talk more.
**\<anonimal>** One last thing, the first Monero Coffee Chat is tomorrow https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/123
**\<anonimal>** sgp I won't be able to make it but surely sometime in the future I can hop on the call.
**\<serhack>** great
**\<anonimal>** 5. Any additional meeting items
**\<rehrar>** Nothing that can't be discussed later.
**\<anonimal>** ^
**\<anonimal>** 6. Confirm next meeting date/time
**\<anonimal>** Does 20:00 work for everyone?
**\<anonimal>** Or is 18:00 the best for everyone?
**\<rehrar>** 20 should be fine.
**\<MoroccanMalinois>** both ok for me
**\<ArticMine>** 1800 is better for me
**\<erciccione\_[m]>** both good for me
**\<ArticMine>** but I can do 2000 if we keep it there
**\<serhack>** 2000 is the perfect time
**\<ArticMine>** That is on Fridays
**\<ArticMine>** So we make it 2000 on every second Firday?
**\<anonimal>** If that works for you.
**\<ArticMine>** Friday
**\<ArticMine>** Yes that works
**\<rehrar>** Serhack explained to me. It'll be done before the end of the day.
**\<serhack>** in italy it's the end of the day
**\<serhack>** but I will work on it asap
**\<anonimal>** Ok thanks everyone. Please anyone speakup/complain if the new dates and times aren't working out.
**\<anonimal>** Next meeting Oct. 20th, 20:00 UTC.
