Contributor Minutes on 2020-05-10

OSPP 2020

• Yhi: RFC on proposals and enrollment information.
  • Projects: AOINB, L10n, DeployKit.
  • Time: July to October, time considerations.
  • Starting June, receiving proposal and responding to inquiries.
• Bai: I will take L10n.
  • Who will take automation?
• Yhi: Part of the compensation goes to the community.
  • Bai: How do we deal with the income/compensation?
    • No problem if the student is compensated.
    • Should we constructively respond (set up a mechanism to deal with this compensation), or should we forfeit our compensation?
  • Yhi: Can't decide.
  • Liushuyu: Makes no difference.
• Saki: I think we should constructively respond. Could use compensation for community maintenance and AOSCC... AArch64?
  • Bai: AOSCC sounds like a good place to spend the money, but who would manage this?
• Liushuyu: Try SPI.
  • Bai: Geographic alignment is not of interest for the community.
• Bai: Is our community worthy to join in?
  • Yhi: We are eligible according to their information.
• Yhi: Project listings incomplete.
  • Bai: Will finish L10n, will need to hear back from Lion and Gumblex on AOINB.
• Yhi: Zamir heard that from GSoC, communities were not compensated. Will get in touch with organisers.
  • Revised Wiki from suggestions.
  • Will submit enrollment information, project listings idealy to be completed by May 14.

On Loongson

• Bai: Yhi, what do you think about arch/loongson2.sh? MMI, EXT, etc. are reserved for Loongson 3, correct?
  • Yhi: Indeed.
  • Yhi: Add -Wa,-mfix-loongson2f-jump,-mfix-loongson2f-nop.
• Yhi: Should check with FlyGoat, whether to use -march=mips3 or -march=loongson2e. We shouldn't expect much though.
  • FlyGoat, Sun Haiyong (from out of meeting): Only -march=mips3 could be compatible between 2E/F, 2E/F has different MMI implementations.
  • Bai: Let's use -march=mips3.
• Bai: Should we leave 2E alone or collect a list of MMI-aware packages?
  • Yhi: According to FlyGoat, we should just go with -march=mips3, and overlay pixman and ffmpeg, these are the only two known ones to use MMI (for a ~10% gain).

Debootstrap

• Liushuyu: Almost done. groupadd segfaults for some reason (stage 2), stage 1 (or stub in AOSC speech) is done.
• Bai: Can we backup stage 1?
  • Liushuyu: Yes, by null-ing stage 2.
• Bai: Issues to be fixed (deps, file location, etc.).

Minutes

• Bai: Let's change Minutes titles to "Contributor Minutes on $DATE".
