Attended by: Jessie, Liz, Chris, Meejah, Ram, Anand, Jean-Paul Status Update * Forked foolscap code and studying its code structure, tests and dependencies. Spend half a day last week (Thursday) on this. Got the tests running (on Python2 of course) and started an analysis of its Python2->3 changes required. * Updated tahoe code and studying foolscap dependencies on its main code and tests. * Created a py3 virtualenv for foolscap and ran tests in Python3 - studying the errors.
Timeline Discussion * Based on outstanding work and current availability, we are proposing * End of Sept completion date * End November to have testing and certifying The plan to expedite the timeline: * Meejah will review the effort to rip out nevow with the goal that this work will be done in parallel to the porting effort * We will reach out to users to request they commit time to integration testing before port as we are merging as things are completed * Least Authority can offer integration testing for the what they are using it for * We will also do the following to get more support from the community * Post the need to IRC - Jessie * Post the need to the mailing list - Jessie * Create a post advertising the project and the need for support on the TahoeLAFS webpage - Jean-Paul and Jessie will work on this together * Post to the mailing list then posting a link under the news section (update this weekly with the project status updates?) * Tweet about it on the TahoeLAFS account @tahoelafs & then everyone can retweet - Liz * Reach out to the other company using TahoeLAFS to see if they are interested in doing some testing - Liz * Reach out to I2P (is this the right name?) grid - to see if anyone using this would be willing to test - Jessie? Jean-Paul * Reach out to packagers to see if anyone has any interest in helping - Jessie I2P not yet ported to Python 3 and Tahoe foundation is not prioritizing that porting effort * Jessie and Anand to connect to see if Python software foundation can offer some funding * Will post to the community to encourage people to take on this work and then get funding from the foundation Spam emails - Jessie to email Brian to see if he has a solution
