Hi!
Here's your monthly digest of TPA minutiae.
Roll call: who’s there and emergencies
First few minutes of the meeting were spent dealing with blocking
issues with office.com, which ultimately led to disabling sender
verification. See tpo/tpa/team#40627 for details.
Present: anarcat, gaba, kez, lavamind, linus.
Roadmap / OKR review
We reviewed our two roadmaps:
TPA OKRs
We didn’t do much in the TPA roadmap, unfortunately. Hopefully this
week will get us started with the bullseye upgrades, and some
initiatives have been started but it looks like we will probably not
fullfill most (let alone all) of our objectives for the roadmap inside
TPA.
web OKRs
More progress was done on the web side of things:
-
donate: lektor frontend needs to be cleaned up, some of the
settings are still set in react instead of with lektor’s
contents.lr
. Vanilla JS rewrite mostly complete, possibly enough
that the rest can be outsourced. Still no .onion since production
is running the react version (doesn’t run in tbb) and .onion might
also break on the backend. We also don’t have an HTTPS certificate
for the backend! -
translators: good progress on this front, build time blocking on
the i18n plugin status (TPA-RFC-16), stuck on Python 3.8 land,
we are also going to make changes to the workflow to allow
developers to merge MRs (but not push) -
documentation: removed some of the old docs, dev.tpo for Q2?
The TPA-RFC-16 proposal (rewriting the lektor-i18n plugin) was
discussed a little more in depth. We will get more details about the
problems kez found with the other CMSes and a rough comparison of the
time that would be required to migrate to another CMS vs rewriting the
plugin. See tpo/web/team#28 for details.

Next meeting
May 2nd, same time. We should discuss phase 3 of bullseye upgrades
next meeting, so that we can make a decision about the stickiest
problems like Icinga 2 vs Prometheus, Schleuder, Mailman, Puppet 6/7,
etc.
