  • Yay, it is up. --Jonathan Jan 15
• have a tech meeting --Angel York (she/her) (talk) 04:51, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
  • I am still working on a long list of todos, and correcting major issues as they arise. For instance, updating Mailman3, and hardening the software from subscription spam. I'll call a tech meeting when it becomes prudent. (Jonathan)
    • We all really appreciate all the hard work you've put in. Someone just today was saying how smoothly the tech transition seemed to have gone from an outside perspective. You do a lot of skilled work, and everyone benefits from it. April does a lot, too. I know my role is soft skills, but I do a lot, too. But I thought we were a team. Occasional meetings are a part of that, so we can all stay on the same page. An opportunity to talk about things, like google captchas. For instance, I found a potential skilled coding volunteer who said they're looking for something to do. If they pan out, I thought it might be nice to catch up first. It's been quite a while. I know you've had a lot going on in your life lately and I've been wondering how you're doing. I hope you're doing ok. --Angel York (she/her) (talk) 08:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

  • Just part of what I do. I do a lot of administrative actions behind the scenes: Make sure people are properly subscribed, correct broken threads and glue them back together, expunge content that could be used by spammers (like that link to a list of email addresses which ended up on the archive - that link was removed) --Jonathan Jan 15
    • I know. We still need more tech volunteers so the bus factor isn't as much of an issue. --Angel York (she/her) (talk) 08:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
    • That shall come with time. Even before getting there, it's important to establish a firm base, and a critical component to that is maintaining documentation on a revision system with bug reports, and good testing protocols, etc. A wiki does not provide the best environment to accomplish this feat (even with its revision system), which is the point I am trying to make. But, it is a good temporary solution, and can be used concurrently for some tasks. However, when that component is in place, that is when meetings and training and onboarding new volunteers will become much more practical.
      • I know we decided that at a meeting a couple years ago give or take, but this comes as a surprise to me because it's a change from what we all agreed on at the meeting where we wrote the OCF tech update call for volunteers section together. Anyway it's a moot point for now, the person who made a post to mastodon saying they were looking for somewhere to donate a few hours each week to use their fluent coding skills never got back to us anyway. --Angel York (she/her) (talk) 04:56, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
• update https://github.com/bikebike/BikeBike to reflect changes made within the past 5 years, or update the link on bikebike.org to where we're keeping the updates nowadays. --Angel York (she/her) (talk) 22:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Angel - that link is https://git.bikeshopi.dev/bike/BikeBikeBike however, we shall be setting up gitea at bikecollectives.org , so in the future the link may be something like https://git.bikecollectives.org/bike/BikeBikeBike or https://git.bikebike.org/bike/BikeBike .. love all the bikes.
  • However, the current link has been on https://en.bikebike.org/humans.txt for a while.
• bikebike.org is doing the thing again. --Angel York (she/her) (talk) 22:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Corrected: browserlist hadn't been updated (I was wondering if that was a requirement when I first set this up, and now we know), this has been added to the ofelia (cron) -> `pnpm update browserlist@latest` --Jonathan Jan 15
    • thanks! --Angel York (she/her) (talk) 08:39, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
