Haiku Admin Meeting Summary - May 28, 2007

Haiku Admin Meeting 2007-05-28:

• Discussion about new "Admin organizer" internal-use website for managing tasks, admin votes, etc.
• Some discussion took place about possibly organizing a physical "admin gathering" somewhere.
• Michael Lotz has volunteered, and is currently a primary candidate for "Project management" type tasks.
• Mention of the need to assign/complete the Haiku, Inc. 2006 financial publication.
• Discussed Haiku Compatible Badges:
It appears many are currently in favor of Stephan's designs. Mention of possible "Haiku powered" or "Haiku inside" on a badge. Should open-vote be used similar to the icon sets? Further discussion about decision will be moved to Admin mailing list. Currently collecting all the "entries" from the General Mailing List.
• Some WalterCon scheduling options discussed:
Discussed what types of content should be provided for attendees. Reminder of survey results. (Ed note: Survey should now be closed as of June 1, 2007) Note that most attendees could fall into "User" and "Application Developer" categories. Possibly an audio driver API presentation?
• Discussion about Haiku Compatibility List:
Should it remain as an external site - or try to move it to the official site? If hosted internally, should it still be primarily a community-driven effort? This would probably ensure it remains up-to-date. Karl should be contacted to discuss options.
• Discussed possibility of opening a "bounties" section on the official site:
Bounties should be reasonable. Could both Haiku-sponsored bounties and community-initiated bounties be supported? If yes, they should be clearly separated to avoid confusion about sponsorship.
