| Define and implement requirements for accepting code from non-employees | In progress | Continue the simple survey of what other projects do wrt to copyright sssignment. Walk through our licensing plans with Hether to make sure I can explain them to a knowledgable lawyer before trying to explain them to the rest of the world. | Have gathered more info, need to get it posted. | Legal | ||||||
| Attend Minimum Continuing Legal Education events in January | In progress | Attend lunch event on wednesday, maybe 4pm event on thursday, again thanks to Morrison & Forester. Find a seminar I can go to later this month to get the additional credit that can't be done by self-study. | Eureka! Found the mother lode of good quality and affordable tapes and online options. Am working away to complete them. Learned about "lawyer-scriveners," the Federal Espionage Act which makes trade secrets topics into a federal crime, treatment of alcohol and AIS/HIV status in the workplace, and Internet related ethical issues for lawyers. More next week. | HR | ||||||

| Periodic discussions of community related topics at the All Hands meetings | In progress | Consider having an initial licensing discussion at this thursday's meeting. Not too in depth, but lay out the general thinking and issues. Raise the timing of this at the management committee meting | conducted initial discussion. Didn't get too deeply into the depths of issues. Probably will make sense to have another session on the balance between using third party code under LGPL and MPL like licenses and the complexity of commercial licenses. Might wait a couple of weeks for this -- for most people licensing is a topic best taken in small doses. | Community | ||||||

Download from this site if you are interested in testing it. The testing group has turned up a few bugs, including the fact that the OS X version was installing to the wrong place. Apple didn't make it clear that stuff is not supposed to go into the main site-packages dir... | wxPython | ||||||
| Do a SWIG modification that will assist in autogenerating wxPython class reference documentation. | In progress | Add docstring support for properties. Submit the docstring/autodoc features patch to the SWIG project. | Done. Fixed the autodoc string for staticmethods and then submitted this patch at sourceforge. | wxPython | ||||||
| Work on tools to extract the docstrings and detatiled docs from the SWIG XML output and put it into a simplified format that can be used for creating online HTML (or other formats) for wxPython reference documentation. | In progress | Write a tool (coordinating with community volunteers) that uses the new XML format to build input for a standard Python documenter tool. Decide which markup format should be used (evaluate ReST? and epydoc formats.) | No progress this week, although Riaan tells me he has started working on something for it. | wxPython | ||||||
| Change wxMenu such that the menu item is returned from the methods that add an item to the menu. Also fix things so that if an ID of -1 is used then a new ID will be generated just like is done for the window classes. | In progress | The first part is done. The second part still needs to be approved by the core team because it involves changing the value of wxID_SEPARATOR | wxPython | |||||||
| Chapter reivews and editing for the wxPython book. | In progress | Chapter reivews and editing for the wxPython book. | No Chapters ready for review until the end of the week. Will work onthem next week. | wxPython | ||||||

| One of the testers noticed that the time needed to Blit bitmaps to a DC on MS Windows has almost doubled in 2.5 vs. 2.4. | In progress | I did some testing and found that depending on platform and vidoe card that there can be a wide variety of differences, ranging from almost identical to 500% increase in time. (I was pleasantly surprised though to find that the C++ version of the test program was only a few milliseconds faster than the Python version!) I appealed to wx-dev for help and they are almost as baffed as I am. They've given me some things to try though so I'll work on that next week. | wxPython | |||||||
| Work on adding more docstrings for the SWIG gererated functions and methods. | In progress | Work on adding more docstrings for the SWIG gererated functions and methods. | Just a few. I need to set aside some time for this | wxPython | ||||||
| Work on my OSAF bug list | In progress | Work on my OSAF bug list | not this week | wxPython | ||||||
| wxMSW does not allow Shift-Tab to be captured by KEY or CHAR events, even if the wxWANTS_CHARS style is used. If the window is within a control container (wxPanel, etc.) then it is always used as a navigation key. | In progress | The fix is a simple one-line change but people are worried that some existing apps depend on getting Shift-Tab for navigation. Still investigating alternatives. | wxPython | |||||||

| Community Working Group Summary | Completed | Community Working Group Summary: | * finalized mission statement (see CommunityGroupMeeting20040113) * 0.4 : There was a sense that we needed to start getting developers to think now about what their goals are for community (not just code) for the 0.4 release.

Want to do this inexpensively, but with sufficient quality in audio and video to show well on a large projector AV system. Need to work out details on media format (NTSC/PAL etc.) | Communicated with Nicolas Pettiaux. He thinks a mpeg file via ftp would be fine. But the file will probably be a couple of gigabytes at least, and since we can burn a DVD it might be best to just do that and mail it to Belgium. He would also like an audio only track. I'm looking into that, should be possible. He also would like a transcript, I they would have to take responsibility for that. Video shoot scheduled for office on 1/28 at 10:00 am. | Events | ||||||
| Worked on two approaches for a revised Help Us webpage. | In progress | Idea is to have a simple intuitive location to refer people wanting to help OSAF so they can see if and when we might have something for them to do. Mitch wants a narrative describing and listing areas for assistance so that anyone landing on the page can easily read and understand the scope of options. | Community Marcomm | |||||||
