Agenda

• TBD

• I'll be asking about that new Web of Trust feature: Does anyone know what "elevated permissions or access" entails (what specific permissions and accesses are affected)? If not, then I'll just ask on Discord.

April 13, 2024 Community Call

Notes:

• Solar eclipse reports.
• Exactly which permissions and what accesses are gated by the new Web of Trust feature? Ben will ask on Discord.
• Status of FreeSewing?
  • PRs reached the 25 threshold.
  • There are 67 Issues.
• What to do about Issues like [charlie]: Charlies chinos giving me crazy errors, what to do? #6417, submitted by a user via the website form? We are unable to contact these users to help them. Ben will ask on Discord what the process should be.
• What to do about Issues opened via BugSnag?
• Showcase posts: author claims, images not showing up, anonymous authors, authors known but don't have FreeSewing accounts.
• https://freesewing.org/showcase/just-another-simon-shirt The frontmatter image is 404 missing on imagedelivery.net.
• https://freesewing.org/showcase/aaron-dress-by-ts The body image is 502 bad gateway on posts.freesewing.org.
• The 502 bad gateway issue is related to [docs]: Migrate (in-body) showcase pictures to cloudflare #5823
• Eventually all images should be migrated to Cloudflare/imagedelivery.net, but temporarily the 502 bad gateway should be fixed on posts.freesewing.org.
• TangerineShark will ask Joost whether it is possible for us to help with the work of migrating images to Cloudflare.
• We could have "Web of Trust parties".
• Unable to add new labels to GitHub because there are only a couple of roles, and they provide all or nothing access.
• We need a roadmap or process that designers can follow to get their new designs through the PR process more smoothly.
• Making juggling balls.
• Working on a 3d-printed credit card sewing kit.
• Gotchas of new design coding, in the wake of the v2 to v3 transition.
• For "new" new designers, we could also assign them a mentor who would work with them and help them get through the PR process. Or, perhaps have a team of mentors who help all new designers.
