# Logs

**\<fluffypony>** time for meeting to start 
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Are we not having a meeting?
**\<ArticMine>** I was wondering the same thing
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Kovri meeting at 17:00. I thought we were meeting at 16:00.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** fluffypony: ^
**\<ArticMine>** For Monero
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Yes
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** * disappointed
**\<luigi1112>** Maybe he died
**\<luigi1112>** We could meet without him if people have stuff to say :-)
**\<moneromooo>** Well, I have one thing to say: who wants to join the testnet and try random stuff to see if they can get it to break ?
**\<moneromooo>** Preferably corner cases.
**\<ArticMine>** How many testnet nodes are there?
**\<moneromooo>** I think three.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I would but I don't have a reliable VPS at the moment.
**\<ArticMine>** I can set at testnet node. What are the stiings
**\<ArticMine>** settings
**\<moneromooo>** bitmonerod --add-exclusive-node 176.9.17.19:28080 --testnet
**\<moneromooo>** And you need to have built with my rct-private-fork branch.
**\<moneromooo>** And make sure you backup your db and wallet first, as they won't be compatible with "normal" version once you run rct code.
**\<moneromooo>** https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/tree/rct-private-fork is the branch to use.
**\<moneromooo>** Actually, use https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/commit/58ea23fa144b9eaec506461f96649d0c7b4b3914
**\<moneromooo>** Latest has an incompatible comms change.
**\<ArticMine>** Great I will give this a try. Is there a test net db or sync from scratch
**\<moneromooo>** If you don't have a testnet db already, you will have to sync.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** #903 has gotten some momentum. Is it too soon to come to an agreement?
**\<moneromooo>** Can't hurt I think.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** So we need a name. moneromooo any thoughts?
**\<_Slack> <needmoney90>** Bond. James Bond.
**\<moneromooo>** I've seen two names proposed already. I don't have a better idea.
**\<_Slack> <needmoney90>** (What are we naming again?)
**\<moneromooo>** A repo, AFAICT.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** neemoney90: #903
**\<_Slack> <needmoney90>** Repo-y McRepoface
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** luigi1112 any thoughts?
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** ArcticMine ^
**\<_Slack> <needmoney90>** My thoughts submitted
**\<ArticMine>** monero-organization for #903
**\<moneromooo>** That sounds good.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Ooo, I like that best.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** ArcticMine will you comment in issue or I can copy/paste?
**\<ArticMine>** You can copy past, I may comment.
**\<ArticMine>** copy/paste
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** K, done. I also like monero-project/organization.
**\<ArticMine>** That is also good
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Kovri end-user documentation proposal is in open tasks
**\<ArticMine>** Actually better than my original idea
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/2592/create-end-user-kovri-documentation
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** The problem with the forum is that its somewhat obscure and I don't get emailed notifications.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** So obscurity = less funding. No notifications = more babysitting.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** An org repo can help with things like this, imho.
**\<redfish>** maybe monero-project/org
**\<ArticMine>** org can be confused with .org Just a thought
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Agreed. How about https://github.com/monero-project/community
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Or is that too vague?
**\<ArticMine>** I thing community is too broad.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** Kovri meeting in 3 minutes.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I'm hopping over to #kovri-dev
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I wish the relay bot was online.
**\<ArticMine>** One could say organizational
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I would say have it here but I don't know who is freenode side.
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** If anyone is interested in talking about a logo for Kovri, could you please hop over to #kovri-dev?
**\<i2p-relay> {-anonimal}** I don't know if dEBRUYNE is logging our meeting so I or slack will be taking care of it.
