Agenda
======

 * New participant: dreamer4
   + currently working on analytics, want to develop technical skills, looking
     for hands-on experience and get involved in data engineering
     - Brett: someone with data analytics background would be *very* welcome to
       further help marketing and design teams with facts, surveys etc
       . Grimoire Dashboard https://dashboard.documentfoundation.org/ , shows
         general health of the project (slightly focused on dev at the time but
         it's slowly changing)
       . Community demographics dashboard 
https://dashboard.documentfoundation.org/app/kibana#/dashboard/15e4b020-d075-11e8-8aac-ef7fd4d8cbad
   + Private metrics https://matomo.org/ (kinda google analytics but free
     software), collect things like bounce rates, page visits, etc
     - Also used for download metrics: https://stats.documentfoundation.org/downloads
     - And update checks metrics: https://stats.documentfoundation.org/update
   + Current user feedback analytics:
     - https://dashboard.documentfoundation.org/app/kibana#/dashboard/Askbot (Q&A platform)
     - https://dashboard.documentfoundation.org/app/kibana#/dashboard/Bugzilla (bug tracker)
   + dreamer4: could do a review of the dashboard, where to send results:
     website@global.libreoffice.org (public), projects@global.libreoffice.org
     (public), hostmaster@documentfoundation.org (private)
 * Salt repository moved to gerrit at https://git.libreoffice.org/infra/salt and
   published. Infratools (GitLab) was decommissioned, contributions should now be
   sent as gerrit review requests.  Thanks to cloph and Brett for the help in
   pruning the repo
 * Planned decommission:
   + pootle.tdf: no longer used beside the name + a static page that should be
     moved to weblate
     - AI guilhem: check with Manitu if it makes sense to order a new box (2U)
       instead of repurposing the box
       . wget: what would this box be used for? dedicated machine for RDBMS to
       offload the virt stack
     - vm179: cloph: don't need it anymore except every now and then, can be
       shutdown now, will start if/when needs be.  AI guilhem: shutdown the box
       and disable the httpd bound to INADDR_ANY
 * Update on https://extensions.libreoffice.org (Q: cloph)
   + user feedback/workflow?
     - under control, notification for status changes is planed for this week
       which would ease the workflow
     - want to wait a little longer before users can publish their extensions
       themselves
   + first draft of the API is there already, in touch with GSoC student for
     feedback
   + AI cloph: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/$NAME calls
     to Google (reCAPTCHA), put the comment/rating stuff on a separate page (or
     activate it with a button), perhaps even let authenticated users through
     - wget: tried the proposal made by Marco and is suboptimal :/. I would
       recommend hcaptcha instead. Not self hosted, but a great alternative =)
       Have deployed it a bunch of time and is working great. The API nodes
       behavior is identical to Google's ones except the domain tld is changing
       (obviously). https://www.hcaptcha.com/ tradeoff: no IPv6 on the API nodes :(.
     - cloph: easy to do (supported by the backend) but not sure it would be
       better accepted as it's a third party service
       https://github.com/3Dgoo/silverstripe-hcaptcha
     - guilhem: a recurring problem with reCAPTCHA is that folks from mainland
       China have a site with limited functionalities
     - wget: CloudFlare folks moved away from reCAPTCHA for that reason
       https://blog.cloudflare.com/moving-from-recaptcha-to-hcaptcha/
     - cloph: Could also let authenticated people through (spare captcha): easy
       to do but might not help much in practice since they'd need to log in at
       /admin or silverstripe to see they're signed in
 * wget: organization verification at GitHub
   + AI cloph 
https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/verifying-your-organizations-domain
 * wget: PR and issue tracker should be closed at github too
   + guilhem: no, will use the github PR gerrit plugin: 
https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/github/+/master/README.md
     Cf. minutes from the jan 2020 call (good timing now — recent upgrade to 3.1
     and no further update planed in the near future):
     - AI guilhem: install on the stage instance
     - AI cloph: test it using a dummy project on the GitHub side, testing with core would create 
too much confusion
       . wget: available to help also :-)
 * Next call: Tue Aug 18 16:30 UTC 2020
