FFmpeg as SPI associated project
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1179
<pre>Hi all. FFmpeg has applied to become an SPI Associated project. Comments
and questions are welcome.
I support and am sponsoring this application because:
* FFmpeg is a genuine Free Software community project:
FFmpeg is released under the GPL or LGPL licenses depending on
the choice of configuration options.
* FFmpeg has an established development community and history of software
releases.
The initial release of FFmpeg was in December 2000 and the project
continues to be actively developed.
* FFmpeg is used by a broad audience:
FFmpeg is widely used on Linux, Microsoft Windows and many other operating
systems both as a standalone tool and as part of other applications.
The resolution below is proposed to be submitted to the June 14 board
meeting:
SPI resolution 2012-05-25.rtb.1
WHEREAS
1. FFmpeg is a substantial and significant Free Software project.
2. The FFmpeg developers would like SPI's support and assistance,
including taking Donations, Holding Funds and legal assistance.
THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT
3. FFmpeg is formally invited to become an SPI Associated Project,
according to the SPI Framework for Associated Projects, SPI Resolution
1998-11-16.iwj.1-amended-2004-08-10.iwj.1, a copy of which can be found
at http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2004/2004-08-10.iwj.1/
4. Stefano Sabatini is recognised by SPI as the authoritative decision
maker and SPI liaison for FFmpeg. Successors will be appointed
following a concensus on the ffmpeg-devel< at >ffmpeg.org mailing list. If
a concensus cannot be achieved an election for the SPI liaison will be
held among members of the ffmpeg-devel< at >ffmpeg.org mailing list.
5. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is
approved by the SPI Board.

--- Begin Application ---
Name and details of the project
===============================
The FFmpeg project was founded in 2000 by Fabrice Bellard, who is
also the trademark holder.
Website: http://www.ffmpeg.org/
FFmpeg aims to provide a complete, cross-platform solution to
multimedia processing including decoding, encoding, demuxing, muxing,
streaming, filtering, metadata processing, etc.
It comprises both a commandline toolset (ffmpeg, ffplay, ffprobe,
ffserver) and several libraries. For more info, check:
http://ffmpeg.org/about.html
FFmpeg currently supports a huge number of components, notably a large
number of codecs (more or less known), some of which have been reverse
engineered by FFmpeg developers. Furthermore some formats have been
designed and implemented within FFmpeg, in particular the NUT
container, and the FFV1 and Snow codecs.
FFmpeg aims to support formats and features natively, for example when
there is no active free software project providing support in a given
area, but relies on external libraries (e.g. libmp3lame, libx264) when
it makes sense.
FFmpeg is free software licensed under the LGPL or GPL depending on
the choice of configuration options.
FFmpeg is used by a large number of multimedia FLOSS projects
(e.g. MPlayer, VLC, Chromium, Blender etc., see
http://ffmpeg.org/projects.html for a more comprehensive list), and is
used as backend in a large number of multimedia website conversion
services (possibly including Google Video, Facebook and YouTube), and
is shipped by many Linux distros, for example Fedora and Centos. See:
http://distrowatch.com/search.php?pkg=ffmpeg&pkgver=#pkgsearch
for an indepth survey.
The Windows platform is supported through MinGW, and daily Windows
builds are provided by third parties like for example:
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
At the beginning of 2011 a group of developers created a fork which
was named Libav (for the fine details read the March 15, 2011 news
entry on ffmpeg.org). Most Libav changes are merged regularly into
FFmpeg.
Which SPI services will be needed
=================================
We request the following services to SPI:
- Accepting Donations and Holding Funds on behalf of FFmpeg
- Legal Assistance
In case of need we reserve the possibility to ask for other services.
Who is going to be the liaison to SPI, and the process for selecting/electing replacements
==========================================================================================
I, Stefano Sabatini, am going to assume the role of liaison while this
application is processed.
In case of application approval, the liaison will be chosen over
agreement on the public ffmpeg-devel mailing list. In case a consensus
can't be reached we'll establish a vote for electing the liaison, and
we will delay expense/refund approvals until we get a proper consensus
on the liaison choice or election.
The liaison mandate will last a fixed period, orientatively one year,
at the end of which we will run a new selection process. The liaison
role change will be promptly notified to SPI.
Every refund request will be posted to the project public development
mailing list (ffmpeg-devel< at >ffmpeg.org) and can be discussed by the
developers and other interested parties, it's also possible for the
project maintainer (currently Michael Niedermayer) to veto a request
before 7 days have passed since the liaison approval.
Every refund request sent by the liaison will have a link to the
public discussion, so SPI can check that the issue was public 7 days
ago at least and it has not received a veto, or it has been explicitly
approved so it can be considered valid.
--- End Application ---

Rob

</pre>Michael Schultheiss2012-05-17T17:38:39D&O Insurance
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1174
<pre>Hi all. SPI is investigating options for Directors and Officers
insurance.
I'm interested in any recommendations for insurance companies, brokers or
other organisaations who offer D&O insurance packages suitable for US
not-for-profit corporations. Please feel free to provide recommendations
in reply to this email or via private email if you prefer.
Here are a couple of recommendations I have already:
Nonprofit Coordinating Committee of New York
http://www.npccny.org/info/oi2.htm
Using NPCC's insurance requires being a member of the organisation.
Membership would cost no more than $250 and seems to provide affordable
D&O insurance for members.
The Weiner Company
http://www.weinerco.com/
A similar FOSS foundation went through this company and were apparently
happy with the result.
I will be getting pricing for D&O insurance and presenting it for
discussion.
Cheers,
Rob

order. Today's agenda and details of pending resolutions can be found

21:01:24 <Solver> Robert Brockway
21:01:26 <schultmc> Michael Schultheiss
[item 3, President's Report]
21:02:21 <bdale> My apologies to the board for my absence from our
last meeting, I suffered an unanticipated airline flight delay that
day.
[item 4, Treasurer's Report]
21:02:34 <schultmc> standard report was mailed out and is in the
agenda. nothing of note although Debian did receive a large donation
via credit card - the donor should be informed of lest costly donation
methods. no chance yet to review options for bookkeeping
assistance. - I'll be less busy after this weekend
[item 5, Secretary's report]
21:04:22 <Noodles> Nothing from me.
[item 6, Outstanding minutes]
voting results for "Minutes for 8th March 2012 board meeting": Yes: 6,
Abstain: 2
[item 7, Items up for discussion]
[item 7.1, YafaRay selling training materials]
21:06:20 * Hydroxide sees no problem with YafaRay selling educational,
training, or documentation materials about YafaRay.
21:06:36 <bdale> I didn't see any problem either, so wasn't sure why
this was on the agenda
21:06:46 <Hydroxide> my guess is Alvaro wanted to prod us into action
but, someone will have to handle things like collecting sales tax and
verifying what needs to happen there and in which jurisdictions
21:07:22 <Noodles> I'm guessing it may be driven from outside the US.
IIRC YafaRay are mostly in Europe. Which may make sales tax a non
issue. But aside from checking the exact nature of that I don't see a
problem.
21:08:05 <Hydroxide> Noodles: if SPI is doing the sales, we can't
ignore US or New York law, as a US and New York entity. we may have
other jurisdictions to worry about - no idea about EU VAT myself. none
of this is a problem, someone just has to follow up on it
21:09:43 <Alvaro> afaik tax sales should be handled by SPI in regard
to his legal address
21:10:11 <bdale> in the US, most states only require the collection of
sales tax for items sold in the same jurisdiction as the seller. I'm
not 100% clear on NY law, but I suspect tax only needs to be collected
on sales of items to NY addresses
21:10:55 <Hydroxide> bdale: yes - but we might at least have to worry
about it for New York buyers, and possibly Indiana and other buyers
where we have either officers, directors, and/or significant donations
or sales. agreed that we basically have to do it for NY unless this
falls into an exception like DebConf10's activities did. there is
probably some way to use a third-party to handle the whole sales
process for us, including tax collections stuff. so the work involved
might just be "find an online storefront that does that and confirm
with SFLC that that meets our obligations"
21:11:32 <bdale> wrt sales tax collection, don't make it more
complicated than it needs to be is my general advice. ok, I think we
can wrap this for today. Hydroxide will look for suitable
out-sourcers and we can discuss on list as no resolution should be
required
[item 7.2, Discussion of tracking system]
21:16:09 <Solver> There is a general concensus that a tracking system
is a good idea and RT seems to be the preferred option at this stage I
think we just need to confirm we will get it installed and running
21:16:37 <Ganneff> im against redmine unless someone has a reason for
the other features it has. which i can't see. im fine with rt, have
multiple of em, its nice and easy to adapt if need be. i veto otrs as
its sh*t as hell if someone plans to mention it... i think we will end
up with a nice little vm just for this, so i can easily hand out rt
admin access to others (including filesystem access i mean, not just
the web stuff).
21:16:46 <Noodles> Again I didn't think this really needed to be on
the agenda as I thought we'd come to a decision offline.
[item 8, Any other business]
21:18:35 <Noodles> I'd like to apologise for making zero progress on
membership cleanup. Various things came up that meant I didn't have a
decent chunk of time to sit down and look at the website code, though
I did have a few thoughts on what I wanted to do with it. I think all
the discussion from last month is still relevant. If someone else has
time/inclination to jump in and suggest some changes or wants to
discuss with me I'm happy for that to happen. As I said I'm not a PHP
person so it's a steeper curve for me. Largely I think we/I want a
"I'm still interested" button/link in the members area to update an
active date field in the DB. And a vote will also update that field.
And then we can mail based on that field, and cull x weeks after the
mail based on that field. And that can all be largely automatic. So
extend the members table to have that field, extend the vote script to
update it, add a page/link to update it from the web interface and add
a script to send out a mail with a link to the page. I don't think
it's complex, I just haven't had time to sit down and write code.
21:19:01 <bdale> I'll note in passing here that I've already proposed
a SPI BOF for Debconf 12, all who plan to attend from the board are
respectfully asked to include it in their plans once it gets scheduled
assuming it does
[item 9, Next board meeting]
21:25:22 <bdale> let's go with the 17th then, then return to normal in June

21:02:03 <Noodles> I didn't.
21:02:12 <Hydroxide> he commented laconically on the ticketing system thread, but that's it
21:02:15 <bdale> perhaps he'll join us then, since we have quorum I will proceed

21:05:31 <bdale> [item 7, Items up for discussion]
21:05:31 <bdale> [item 7.1, YafaRay selling training materials]
21:05:31 <bdale> Who wants to speak to this?
21:06:15 <Ganneff> woo, not so many at once.
21:06:15 <Noodles> I don't think I saw any serious objections to this?
21:06:16 <Solver> What was the final opinion from counsel?
21:06:20 * Hydroxide sees no problem with YafaRay selling educational, training, or documentation materials about YafaRay.
21:06:36 <bdale> I didn't see any problem either, so wasn't sure why this was on the agenda
21:06:46 <Hydroxide> Solver: we shouldn't get to specific about the details in a public channel, due to privilege concerns. my guess is Alvaro wanted to prod us into action
21:07:03 <Solver> Hydroxide: yes good point
21:07:07 <Hydroxide> but, someone will have to handle things like collecting sales tax and verifying what needs to happen there
21:07:12 <Hydroxide> and in which jurisdictions
21:07:17 <bdale> so is there anything for us to discuss or act on here today?
21:07:22 <Noodles> I'm guessing it may be driven from outside the US.
21:07:31 <Noodles> IIRC YafaRay are mostly in Europe.
21:07:44 <Noodles> Which may make sales tax a non issue.
21:08:02 <Alvaro> am I allowed to speak?
21:08:04 <bdale> US sales tax, certainly
21:08:05 <Hydroxide> Noodles: if SPI is doing the sales, we can't ignore US or New York law, as a US and New York entity. we may have other jurisdictions to worry about - no idea about EU VAT myself
21:08:06 <bdale> Alvaro: please
21:08:06 <Noodles> But aside from checking the exact nature of that I don't see a problem.
21:08:17 <Hydroxide> Noodles: none of this is a problem, someone just has to follow up on it
21:09:14 <bdale> Alvaro: please speak if you wish
21:09:43 <Alvaro> afaik tax sales should be handled by SPI in regard to his legal address
21:10:11 <bdale> in the US, most states only require the collection of sales tax for items sold in the same jurisdiction as the seller
21:10:16 <Hydroxide> there is probably some way to use a third-party to handle the whole sales process for us, including tax collections stuff. so the work involved might just be "find an online storefront that does that and confirm with SFLC that that meets our obligations"
21:10:37 <bdale> I'm not 100% clear on US law, but I suspect tax only needs to be collected on sales of items to NY addresses
21:10:48 <bdale> s/US/NY/
21:10:55 <Hydroxide> bdale: yes - but we might at least have to worry about it for New York buyers, and possibly Indiana and other buyers where we have either officers, directors, and/or significant donations or sales
21:11:19 <Hydroxide> bdale: agreed that we basically have to do it for NY unless this falls into an exception like DebConf10's activities did
21:11:32 <bdale> wrt sales tax collection, don't make it more complicated than it needs to be is my general advice
21:11:38 <Hydroxide> yup
21:11:47 <Hydroxide> that's why I'm suggesting outsourcing that :)
21:11:53 <bdale> ok, so I see no action for us to take today?
21:12:25 <Hydroxide> someone just has to follow up on it. no vote needed today.
21:12:32 <bdale> I can't think of any issue outsourcing it, it shouldn't need a board resolution
21:12:36 <Hydroxide> right
21:12:44 <Alvaro> so how we should proceed when our training stuff is finished
21:12:57 <Hydroxide> Alvaro: how soon are you expecting that to be ready?
21:13:05 <Solver> Alvaro: how long until you think you will be ready?
21:13:13 * Hydroxide grins at Solver
21:13:17 <Solver> Hydroxide: :)
21:13:23 <Alvaro> soon, within this month probably
21:13:27 <bdale> ok
21:13:50 <bdale> Hydroxide: did you have an particular suggestion on who to outsource to?
21:14:00 <Alvaro> do you have a tax advisor? maybe he has something to say about it
21:14:05 <Hydroxide> bdale: no. I guess I can look into it
21:14:21 <bdale> Alvaro: no, not exactly
21:14:34 <bdale> Hydroxide: if you would, that'd be great, then let's continue this discussion via email?
21:14:38 <Hydroxide> bdale: sure
21:14:38 <Solver> Alvaro: we discussed it with legal counsel at the time of the request but not an accountant afaik
21:14:50 <Alvaro> I see
21:14:56 <Solver> bdale: agreed
21:15:07 <bdale> ok, I think we can wrap this for today. Hydroxide will look for suitable out-sourcers and we can discuss on list as no resolution should be required
21:15:17 <Hydroxide> Solver: it doesn't really have tax implications for SPI so we don't need tax advice - it's more legal advice about which taxes we have to collect and pass on, and how to do that with as little effort and complication as possible :)
21:15:29 <bdale> Alvaro: thanks for your input to the discussion, we'll look forward to working with you to do the right thing(s)
21:15:35 <bdale> [item 7.2, Discussion of tracking system]
21:15:35 <bdale> Robert, did you want to kick us off on this?
21:15:45 <Solver> sure....
21:15:47 <Alvaro> I am sorry that the whole matter could be a extra hassle for you but maybe it is an useful experience for other projects too
21:15:51 <Hydroxide> (that was meant for Alvaro, not Solver. /me yields the floor again)
21:15:57 <bdale> Alvaro: no worries
21:16:03 <bdale> it's what we're here for!
21:16:09 <Solver> There is a general concensus that a tracking system is a good idea
21:16:16 <Solver> and RT seems to be the preferred option
21:16:37 <Ganneff> im against redmine unless someone has a reason for the other features it has. which i can't see. im fine with rt, have multiple of em, its nice and easy to adapt if need be. i veto otrs as its sh*t as hell if someone plans to mention it... i think we will end up with a nice little vm just for this, so i can easily hand out rt admin access to others (including filesystem access i mean, not just the web stuff).
21:16:38 <Solver> at this stage I think we just need to confirm we will get it installed and running
21:16:46 <Noodles> Again I didn't think this really needed to be on the agenda as I thought we'd come to a decision offline.
21:17:06 <Solver> I submitted it before some discussion ensued
21:17:13 <bdale> Ganneff: if you're ok to proceed with RT, I think the answer is "just do it"
21:17:15 <Noodles> I know.
21:17:22 <Noodles> I left it anyway so we could say yay or nay.
21:17:36 <Ganneff> bdale: sure. next week, and i guess solver wants to be on board of that train
21:17:39 <Noodles> And I think we're all saying yes to RT if sysadmin< at >spi is happy to install it.
21:17:49 <bdale> I'm not going to call for a vote unless there's objection to "the plan"
21:17:53 <Solver> Noodles: exactly
21:18:02 * Hydroxide agrees with the above
21:18:13 <bdale> ok, I mark this item done and we move on. thanks, all
21:18:13 <Ganneff> we have to get up with some useful queues and groups maybe, but otherwise it will be nice and simple
21:18:21 <bdale> [item 8, Any other business]
21:18:21 <bdale> Do any board members have other items for discussion they would like to address briefly?
21:18:35 <Noodles> I'd like to apologise for making zero progress on membership cleanup.
21:19:01 <bdale> I'll note in passing here that I've already proposed a SPI BOF for Debconf 12, all who plan to attend from the board are respectfully asked to include it in their plans once it gets scheduled assuming it does
21:19:06 <Noodles> Various things came up that meant I didn't have a decent chunk of time to sit down and look at the website code, though I did have a few thoughts on what I wanted to do with it.
21:19:30 <Noodles> bdale: I'm hoping to be there so will certainly attend if so.
21:19:30 <bdale> Noodles: anything you could use help on?
21:20:11 <Noodles> I think all the discussion from last month is still relevant.
21:20:43 <Noodles> If someone else has time/inclination to jump in and suggest some changes or wants to discuss with me I'm happy for that to happen. As I said I'm not a PHP person so it's a steeper curve for me.
21:20:44 * bdale reads the minutes again
21:20:44 * Hydroxide will attend the BoF
21:21:03 <zobel> schultmc: will we meet our deadline for our annual report (IRS 990)?
21:21:11 <bdale> I'm not exactly a PHP hack either .. but I do want to see us make progress on this.
21:21:13 <Clint> i'll try to take a look at the code before the next meeting
21:21:15 <schultmc> zobel: yes
21:21:19 <bdale> Clint: thanks
21:21:23 <zobel> schultmc: thx
21:21:23 <Noodles> bdale: Largely I think we/I want a "I'm still interested" button/link in the members area to update an active date field in the DB.
21:21:37 <Noodles> And a vote will also update that field.
21:21:54 <Noodles> And then we can mail based on that field, and cull x weeks after the mail based on that field.
21:21:56 <bdale> ok, that makes sense .. sound like something you can handle, Clint?
21:22:03 <Noodles> And that can all be largely automatic.
21:22:17 <Clint> probably, depending on what the db's like
21:22:33 <bdale> ok .. let's all poke each other on IRC as needed to get this done in the next month?
21:22:43 <Noodles> So extend the members table to have that field, extend the vote script to update it, add a page/link to update it from the web interface and add a script to send out a mail with a link to the page.
21:23:09 <Noodles> I don't think it's complex, I just haven't had time to sit down and write code.
21:23:33 <bdale> understand .. I've been pretty swamped too, but as I say this is important so let's all try to collaborate and get it done
21:23:38 <bdale> ok, anything else?
21:23:45 <bdale> [item 9, Next board meeting]
21:23:45 <bdale> Our next regularly-scheduled monthly meeting would be 9 May 2012, 20:00 UTC.
21:23:45 <bdale> Any strong objections?
21:23:47 <schultmc> I'll be at a conference the second week of May 2012. I'd prefer moving the meeting to 2012-05-17
21:24:11 <Solver> no objections
21:24:21 * zobel will not be able to attend the next meeting
21:24:27 <bdale> either week would be ok with me
21:24:37 <zobel> i will be on VAC whole of May.
21:24:40 <bdale> any strong objections to the 17th?
21:24:41 <Noodles> Fine with me. I note UDS is on the second week of May. It'd be good to meet anyone who's going to be in the Bay Area for that.
21:24:58 <Ganneff> i might not be at that meeting. depends on when the babys crawling out, but its right before that...
21:25:07 <schultmc> Noodles: I'll be in the bay area for a different conference
21:25:16 <zobel> babys?!
21:25:22 <bdale> Noodles: let's go with the 17th then, then return to normal in June, ok?
21:25:28 <Noodles> bdale: Sure.
21:25:29 <schultmc> works for me
21:25:32 <Ganneff> ahwell, minus the s. or plus a ' :)
21:25:38 <bdale> Ok, thank you to everyone present for participating today.

</pre>Michael Schultheiss2012-04-12T03:26:48SPI Ticketting system
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1155
<pre>Hi all. There was a discussion recently on #SPI about using a tracking
system to help SPI keep track of tasks.
The general concensus during the discussion was that Request Tracker (RT)
was the preferred option as several of the people present (mostly board
members) have quite a bit of experience with RT.
I'd certainly like us to go forward with this as soon as possible.
As well as assisting with tracking tasks it could help us set & monitor
SLAs.
Jonathan, please put "Discussion of tracking system" on the agenda for the
April 12/13 board meeting. This will be a good opportunity to get the
board talking about it. I'd hope we get a general concensus and decision
to implement.
Cheers,
Rob
</pre>Robert Brockway2012-04-10T04:24:18adding an item to the agenda
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1154
<pre>Hi there
I am the liason of the YafaRay project. In the past we asked the board whether we could sell training and educative material under the umbrella of SPI, since donations does not work that great for us. In light of the advice you got from your legal advisors about performing such activities, and given the fact that we are on track about finishing such educative stuff, we would like to ask the board again whether such activities could be launched under SPI protection, and what should be the desired framework.
We are going to finish a book into spanish in PDF format (10 MG) and a training DVD-ISO file with scenes and texts in PDF format (3 GB). We are not going to sell physical items, just digital books and DVD-ISO files. Every item will be released under a creative commons license, following Blender Foundation model.
We look forward to the board answer on these regards. Greetings.

</pre>Michael Schultheiss2012-03-08T20:55:50Preparing for a contributing membership ping
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1150
<pre>As per 2009-11-04.jmd.1 (Contributing membership expiry) I'm preparing
to send out an initial ping to all contributing members who did not vote
in the last board election. That covers 378 individuals. In an ideal
world we'd have the SPI members app provide an "I'm still active" button
as a response, but for this first pass I think it's going to be easier
to script a bunch of mails and then process responses manually.
How about the following as the ping mail:
-----
Subject: SPI contributing membership ping
SPI membership ref: [n]
Hi.
As per SPI resolution 2009-11-04.jmd.1 (Contributing membership
expiry)[0] we are in the process of cleaning up the SPI active membership
list. Our records indicate that you did not vote in the SPI Board
Election held in July 2011. We use board election turnout as an
indicator of SPI activit. As a result if we do not hear otherwise from
you within 4 weeks of this mail being sent we will deem you inactive and
downgrade your SPI membership to non-contributing status.
Please note that any sure downgrade will not preclude you restoring your
contributing membership status at a later date.

-----
I feel we probably want some extra fluff there, but I'm not entirely
sure what to provide. Is it worth mentioning we're hoping to do some
by-law changes so it's important to have an up to date membership list
perhaps?

</pre>Michael Schultheiss2012-02-09T20:57:07Forms 990 and 1023 for SPI
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1144
<pre>I've been reading the 2010 form 990 for SPI (from guidestar) and
noticed that you claim that your forms (990, 1023, etc) are available
on the SPI web site. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, they
aren't. Could you consider creating a page under
http://spi-inc.org/corporate/ with those forms?
While searching on the SPI web site, I found an IRC log from 2008
indicating that someone requested the 1023 and that Michael
Schultheiss was going to request a copy from the IRS.
I also found one 990 on the old SPI page [1] but I couldn't find
all. It would be great if you could create one central location on
the new web site with these forms. Thanks a lot.

</pre>Martin Michlmayr2012-02-09T07:43:06Agenda item for February SPI board meeting
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1134
<pre>Jonathan, please add the item "Discussion of back office support" to the
February meeting agenda. I believe this should fall within general
business but don't mind if you put it in another category.
My intention here is for the board to discuss this topic, not to make any
firm decisions during this board meeting.
There is no need to post any of the material below in to the meeting
announcement.
CC:ed to spi-general so the community can discuss.
There have been informal discussions within SPI for a while about
acquiring assistance for the day to day operations of SPI to improve
service delivery to projects. This is especially important considering
that the number of associated projects has been increasing recently and
all indications are that this is going to continue.
Two possible approaches to obtaining back office support are discussed
here. This discussion does not exclude the possibility that other options
exist.
(1) Using a back office company
Numerous companies (in the US and elsewhere) provide back office support
services. A concern here would be obtaining a package that fitted with
SPI's needs and was within SPI's budget.
(2) Hiring a part-time employee
Another option is to hire an office assistant on a part-time basis. The
office assistant could work for however many hours per week that was
agreed with the SPI secretary (subject to upper limits set by the board).
We may find, for example, that we only need an office assistant to work
for 4 hours per week to achieve our aims. The hourly rate of someone
performing this task is likely to be quite modest.
I envision that this office assistant would report to the Secretary and
principally provide support for the Secretary and Treasurer.
An arrangement like this would ideally operate with limited commitment on
either SPI or the office assistant to minimise liability and costs.
I expect that the work could generally be done by someone working from
home but it may make sense for the office assistant to be based close to
the treasurer or secretary for practical reasons. The office assistant
would probably view this work as a suppliment to their normal income.
A similar arrangement has been maintained by SAGE-AU
(http://www.sage-au.org.au) in Australia for many years.
Any such arrangement would need to be consistent with relevant US federal
and state labor laws and would need to be discussed with SPI counsel.
Selection criteria could cover regular office assistant skills, as well as
knowledge of FOSS principles.
There are some of my thoughts on the topic. Comments encouraged.
Cheers,
Rob
</pre>Robert Brockway2012-02-05T01:56:09Proposed website changes
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1132
<pre>Hi all. I find it slightly annoying that the index page requires the
person to click 'Read more' to see much information.
I propose merging the 'About' page in to the Index (Home) page and having
it readable without having to click 'Read more'.
Normally I wouldn't bother posting about changes to the website but this
is fairly significant and involves the index so be sure to hollar if you
disagree.
I also plan to add a 'History' page.
Cheers,
Rob
</pre>Robert Brockway2012-01-13T09:07:59Changes made to the membership of the SPI board list
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1131
<pre>Following discussions with legal counsel and the contributing members over
the last couple of months the board agreed today to alter the criteria for
board list membership.
The board list is now comprised of board members only. Legal counsel and
project liaisons will be CC:ed on board list discussions as required.
As a result of this change more discussion will shift to spi-general and
spi-private.
Thanks,
Rob

</pre>Robert Brockway2011-12-30T04:13:54associated projects selling training material
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.spi.general/1123
<pre>Hi there
I'm the liason of the YafaRay project. Our project is rather small although we have a relatively broad user base.
We are doing about 7.000 downloads a month.
However, the fact is that donations does not work for us. it is more dificult for desktop software to get support from the big guys.
This is not a big issue for a project with small needs, but our project faces now critical times and we would like to organise a first "code sprint" to get together and strengthen
our bonds.
Selling training material would be an option for us. We are not sure whether is going to work but at least we would like to try.
We would like to ask whether we can still use SPI protection for the money raised by those sales and how to accommodate a checkout process
from an e-shop within the current "click & pledge" framework. I don't believe it can be done.
For instance, can we use Amazon Payments or Paypal under our responsabily but draw funds from those and get them directly to our SPI account?
Thank you for your comments on these regards. Greetings
