Notes
The meeting voice transcription is available on the talk page.
- Credit Card Processing
- (Mark) ACTION ITEM We decided to implement the Credit Card Processing (through Authorize.net) using Wikibase $90/hr, Eric-Jan to report
- A vote was called to have Wikibase handle the development work to implement Credit Card Processing
- Vote was unanimously approved
- MediaWiki blog
- In previous converstation, Gergo brought up possible trademark issues
- Ideally we can get permission to use the URL (mediawiki.blog) from the WMF to operate the blog
- We should transfer the URL to MWStake from Hallo Welt
- ACTION ITEM (Markus) To approach the WMF about operating the blog and transferring the domain to MWStake
- ACTION ITEM (Mark) Actually, I need to transfer the mwstake.org domain to MWStake as well since I currently own it
- (Cindy) I talked to Chris Koerner, he said talk to WMF Trademarks to ensure it is OK
- (Markus) Wikimedia.de is owned by Wikimedia Germany, not WMF, so there is good history
- ACTION ITEM (Markus) We should have AFCom (Affiliates Committee) review our Bylaws
- A vote was called to have Markus talk to AFCom about our Bylaws, talk to WMF Trademarks about operating the blog, and transferring the domain (mediawiki.blog) to MWStake
- Vote was unanimously approved
- First MWStake Project
- (Mark) The subcommittee (Cindy, Mark, Evita) were tasked to find a "First Project" for MWStake
- (Mark) Goal was to find a project that can be completed in 6 months
- (Mark) Be able to point to it as a "we did this" with a success
- (Mark) The PDF rendering extension, Collection, used to be very useful but has broken
- (Mark) We have found the extension DocBookExport which can print multiple pages
- (Mark) The goal is to use DocBookExport as the backend to fix Collection
- (Cindy) There is a crucial first step requried, secure the money to pay a developer
- MWStake project brokerage
- (Lex) With respect to my email (regarding paid work for security review), we need to get the project execution capability of MWStake established
- (Mark) Sounds like we (MWStake) are more like "brokers" vs. "consultants"
- (Lex) Yes, like an "escrow" service
- (Markus) Code review is an area we might really be of service
- (Mark) A subcommittee is needed for the for the "scoping, intake, and hand-off" of projects for guaranteed sponsorship projects where we (MWStake) act as project brokers
- (Cindy) We need to have a description of the process, then use an example project like Lex's
- ACTION ITEM Lex and Eric-Jan to collaborate on a process to intake and execute on this activity
- (Lex) My initial draft is here (request access from Lex if you don't already have it)
- Sales Slide Deck
- Are we ready to give someone at a company/organization enough "ammo" to "sell" an MWStake sponsorship to their management"? If not, what is needed?
