<hyc> so, no meeting today? <hyc> gingeropolous: you there? <rehrar> I know you gys had a meeting last week <rehrar> but it was impromptu, correct? <rehrar> if we want dev meetings to stay on the weeks that community ones are not, then it should be today, since community meeting is next week <rehrar> we can do a short one if there's not much to discuss <rehrar> thoughts hyc? <rehrar> the choice is up to you <hyc> short meeting is prob a good idea just to touch base <hyc> see how the point release is shaping up <rehrar> hyc has spoken <rehrar> we'll wait until designated time <hyc> would be good to get back onto regular schedule <dEBRUYNE> I did kind of announce it on github :P <dEBRUYNE> So not sure if it is impromptu <rehrar> then I was just out of it that week and didn't notice <rehrar> but I prefer to fault others than myself, so if you could take the blame dEBRUYNE I'd appreciate that <dEBRUYNE> :D <hyc> anything else for today's agenda? <rehrar> 1. Greetings? :D <hyc> oh yeah, I always forget the social conventions <rehrar> 2. Point release items <rehrar> moneromooo around? dsc_ too <rehrar> ping the other peoples <vtnerd__> hello <selsta> GUI is almost ready for 0.14.1 <rehrar> bam, thanks selsta <rehrar> and that will have Trezor, yeah? <selsta> yes <rehrar> I don't own one, so it's not a big deal for me, but I'll have an answer for people <rehrar> anyone to do a quick update on Monero Core? <rehrar> also, what is the name for the core software? Can we name it? <rehrar> We've had this discussion a lot of times. <jwinterm> monerod and monero-wallet-cli? <rehrar> yes <rehrar> alright, good talk everyone <sgp_> hello everyone <hyc> point release doesn't get a new name <hyc> it's still Bron Butterfly <hyc> Boron <rehrar> I meant monero core software hc <rehrar> *hyc <hyc> oh <sgp_> More than the "daemon" and "CLI"? <hyc> what's wrong with calling it core? <rehrar> nothing, I guess. I just don't know that there's one thing that people agree on. <rehrar> well, doesn't seem there's anyone around to update on Monero core <rehrar> selsta: anything else on the GUI. When expected to be done? <rehrar> if someone wants to update on core whenever they have the time, that'd be cool. <hyc> looks like nothing else then <moneromooo> By core, you mean the GUI or not the GUI ? <moneromooo> It's confusing because some people mean not the GUI now. <dEBRUYNE> the 'monero' repository I guess :P <ErCiccione[m]> well, with rights, since the GUI was called monero-corefor long time <dEBRUYNE> ^ moneromooo <hyc> but it's called monero-gui now so ... <rehrar> it made no sense that the GUI was ever called core <hyc> god only knows why someone thought "hey let's make a gui but not call it the gui!" <dEBRUYNE> I can give some further updates on the GUI once mooo is done with the core stuff :p <rehrar> Can we all agree between us present that core means CLI tools and daemon? <ErCiccione[m]> isn't just linked hyc? IIRC it should still take you to the GUI if you look for monero-project/monero-core <rehrar> and GUI means GUI? <jwinterm> most applications with GUIs are not called by their function+GUI, probably <ErCiccione[m]> i confirm monero-core still points to monero-gui <rehrar> oof. I'll restart the conversation again on github issue or something in regards to naming <rehrar> either way, moneromooo is it possible to tell us where point release is at for CLI/core stufs? <dEBRUYNE> moneromooo: My intention was to let you go first :-P <hyc> jwinterm: do you find that's true for apps that have both GUI and CLI? particularly if only a CLI existed for a long time? <moneromooo> We've started merging stuff before the customary 10 days wait now. I expect we'll branch soonish. <moneromooo> The only thing I know of that's really needed before a branch is the new fake out selection. <moneromooo> And that's PRed. <moneromooo> A few nice to have are the SSL changes, the second part of the RPC tests, and possibly the pay-for-service but I think that one's unlikely to happen now. <rehrar> cool, thanks <ErCiccione[m]> i will push some translations for the CLI next week, we should have a new language available (hindi) <moneromooo> So if anyone wants something in before the branch, be fast. <moneromooo> And this time, there should be lots of time for translations ^_^ <rehrar> maybe I'll PR a pleasant message when opening the wallet so I can get a "contributor" flair or the reddits <selsta> 19:13 <rehrar> well, doesn't seem there's anyone around to update on Monero core <-- All features are PRed, only missing review. <ErCiccione[m]> moneromooo: yep, not complaining this time (yet) :D <rehrar> nice <rehrar> dEBRUYNE: all you <dEBRUYNE> Let's see <hyc> btw I hope #5376 makes it in this round, it'll be helpful for the solo mining code <jwinterm> hyc: not too many apps spring to mind that meet that criterion <dEBRUYNE> Like selsta said, we should be ready in time for 0.14.1.0 <dEBRUYNE> There will be a revamped history page as well as a revamped address book <dEBRUYNE> Xiphon has also posted a ffs to work on some stuff such as optimizing the communication between the wallet and the daemon and implementing a decentralized remote node scanner -> https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/55 <dEBRUYNE> For the latter feature, we'll have to wait a bit before nodes will start using the --public-node flag <dEBRUYNE> Oh there will also be fiat pricing (the feature will be turned off by default) <dEBRUYNE> And we've started discussing how to easily integrate i2p-zero and tor <dEBRUYNE> ^ If anyone has suggestion on a design, feel free to list them <rehrar> integrate in terms of design, yes dEBRUYNE ? <dEBRUYNE> wrt i2p, I think the easiest would be the bundle the i2p binary with the GUI binary and then have a checkbox on the settings page to start it <dEBRUYNE> Yeah <dEBRUYNE> The new white theme may also be included in the point release btw (vid from dsc here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTLNwRaoa4s) <rehrar> ok <rehrar> ooh, that's kind of cool <dEBRUYNE> That's it basically :-P <rehrar> cool <rehrar> anything else from anyone? <rehrar> I said we could keep it short. :) <hyc> let's call it <xmrmatterbridge> <rehrar> Cool. Two weeks from now. Same time. See you all then. <xmrmatterbridge> <rehrar> Oh, those who have used the new CCS. How was it? <xmrmatterbridge> <rehrar> To donate or to put up a proposal? <ErCiccione[m]> just quickly: <ErCiccione[m]> The guide for the GUI is completed, thanks to el00ruobuob, it only needs to be built and translated, but it can be included with next release :) <ErCiccione[m]>https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-GUI-guide <ErCiccione[m]> reviews and features/suggestions are always welcome <ErCiccione[m]> rehrar: I think it's a great improvement in terms of usability for the community, still needs some tweaking, but i think it's a huge improvement <dEBRUYNE> ErCiccione[m]: Doesn't the ecosystem repo already have the Monero heart logo btw? :P <ErCiccione[m]> dEBRUYNE: yes, but i thought would be cool to have a personalized logo. I'd like the Ecosystem Project to grow with time <dEBRUYNE> The hear tlogo kind of grew on me :-P <ErCiccione[m]> eheh i can't deny i would miss it
