"->" means some sort of conclusion or decision
1. census bot
=============
Hackerspace Census
if space no active and no mail, close or manual
-> The bot checks weekly for pages that have not been updated in 12 months.
-> It uses certain criteria to determine how to flag those pages.
- Criteria so far: calendar entries, rss, social media, and more
-> Present
- One flag is added by a hidden text, so the bot won't run again for 12 months.
- Currently it also changes the "status" to _closed_ when certain criteria are met.
-> Future changes
- The bot will create log pages in the HSo wiki in a dedicated namespace
- Instead of setting "status" to _closed_, it will set it to _suspected_inactive_ (human editors can then filter for such pages and manually set an appropriate status)
- The bot will use its own account for such edits.
- Bot will add pages to a category, for humans to check
2. When is an entity a hackerspace that should be listed on HSo?
================================================================
What is a hackerspace. Are we ok with commercial companies (ponoko) to use hs.org?
Criteria for a hackerspace are:
-> Idea: spaces should pass all of the exclusion criteria and meet some of the inclusion criteria
-> Exclusion
- no purely commercial entities on HSo
- providing office or workspace for rent and nothing else
-> Inclusion
- non-profit status
- community-oriented, for example by and for hackers
- has members (as opposed to visitors or employees only)
- meet at their own space (could also have shared bits, but something to call from the community)
-> these criteria should be displayed on the creation page
3. Modality of next meeting
===========================
- Should we try to move to some other technology than IRC?
-> there does not seem to be a desire to move away from IRC, the next meetup will happen on 2020-06-08 14:00 UTC in IRC again.
4. wiki stuff
=============
Template:
add gitlab?
add telegram / matrix?
add type of space (fablab / hackerspace / makerspace / coworking space / other) default to hackerspace for all entries if possible
add wheelchairaccessibilty
-> zeno4ever and buzz will update the templates to add suggested fields and 'type of space'
Edit wiki page
Wiki general
-> thumbnails / images broken? (g5pw was notified, and still needs to look at it)
many 504 messages, implement monitor system? (like PRTG)
