Bai: How should we go about doing this? Where and when? We used Telegram in 2018, is this the best we could do?
Bai: Nominations on Monday through Friday, and vote on Friday?
Chen X.: 3 - 5 business days?
Liu: Let's use calendar days...
Bai: Starting next Monday?
Liu: Starting on Wednesday night?
Bai: So that they have some time to think about it?
Liu: Let's start collecting nominations and vote on Wednesday night?
Bai: Sounds good to me.
Bai: Vote on multiple rounds?
Liu: Sure, let's do it like how we did before. So that we can eliminate some.
Lion: How long should we vote last?
Chen X.: Until the weekends?
Lion: One or two days should suffice.
Liu: One or two days should be enough, I think.
Bai: I think a rapid fire should do.
Lion: Timzezone is an issue.
Neo: 48 hours?
Bai: 48 total or per round?
Lion: I second that.
Bai: We should come up with a schedule since it's multi-round.
Lion: That's right... It's easy to get ties on the first round.
Bai: Let's do 12 hours per round?
Chen X., Liu: Sure.
Lion: That sounds good to me, 12 or 24 works well.
Lion: Which platform should we use? Telegram only seems to support single choice.
Bai, Liu: Telegram should do just fine, it does support multiple coice.
Lion: Oh that's fine then.
Bai: Like how we did it before, no politics, no profanity, and no trademarks?
Chen X.: Let's do a quick audition before hand?
Liu: That sounds good, since we have two days before the vote.
Lion: And sexual hints.
Lion: How should we divide the 12 hours? It could be difficult for people to keep track of it.
Bai: Should we do 12 hours consecutive or?
Lion: Let's do 12 hours same time everyday.
Bai: 10 A.M. UTC +8 daily?
Liu: Sounds good.
Lion: Actually let's do 24-hour rounds, ending 20 minutes early to prepare for the next round.
Bai: Sounds good, so we will begin voting on Thursday 10 A.M., UTC+8, repeating on Friday and Saturday until we have a winner.
Bai: How should we collect nominations?
Liu: I have an idea... Google Forms?
Neo: That's fine...?
Bai: Or GitHub issue? But both options sound good.
Lion: I second GitHub issue.
Liu: Sounds good.
Bai: GitHub issue it is then.
DeployKit
Bai: Liu, could you demonstrate DeploytKit?
Liu: Give me a moment to set up a VM.
Liu demonstrates his work-in-progress DeployKit (TUI)...
Bai: BuildKit should not be listed here since it's not bootable.
Liu: They are displayed as-is from the manifests downloaded.
Bai: Let's just add an filter.
Liu: Sounds good.
Liu: Another issue is that many of our mirrors do not provide system distribution downloads (they are huge).
Liu: "No partition selected" is displayed when none is detected.
Bai: Please change it to "No partition defined."
Bai: I think all windows are too narrow, they need some padding around them.
Liu: Partitioning step defines whether X11 is detected - if detected, it gives an option to launch GParted, otherwise, it launches a shell with a prompt.
Neo: More customisation options for users?
Liu: Leave them to unpack tarballs themselves, there's no point to guide them since they probably knew better...
Neo: Should we use 3D buttons like old Red Hat versions do?
Liu: That may take too much space.
