Moderator: @johnnyman727 Notes: @frijol Attending: @tcr
- Useful for us to be able to access stock and send it to ourselves/contributors within a few days
- Jon & Kelsey's garage is not a good solution
- We have to pay Whiplash something like $15/mo for keeping stuff on shelves
- How much stock do we want?
- Price breaks on 50 or 100x T2s, how many would we want?
- Can we sell some of the modules back to Seeed? This would give us a lot more cash liquidity (and we don't need a stock of hundreds per module). This is something Seeed is amenable to
- Modules we don't want to get sold (BLE, Camera, etc.) don't get sold to Seeed. Need to figure out what to do with these eventually (donation?)
- Answer: basically, yes, we want to arrange for some stock at Whiplash. Kelsey will work out the details. Jon will sell back extra modules to Seeed.
- Installation issues are still the top
- USB drivers that we compile against are compiled against Win 7, @tcr is trying different approaches. Recompiling node-usb for Win 10 might work out of the box. A few more possible solutions to explore if it does not.
- The USB issue seems to be the only real Windows issue, though there are corner cases (individuals' weird firmware and update levels)
- Seen some success in the forum thread re Windows installation using Zadig
- Linux has also had some issues, @rwaldron said last week he'd get someone from Bocoup to help
- Would be great to get a champion of installs who could set up CI to ensure installation works on various platforms (anyone reading these notes: interested in taking this on?)
- MDNS is still challenging for some people. @hipsterbrown has been working on this, and we are learning more about how this all works.
- Node 5.x: currently it's not supported. Someone should investigate why.
- @tcr: we're basically ready to go, but it would take ~2 hours of writeup to send to Seeed. Should I focus on Windows install or this TELEC writeup?
- Focusing on Windows install, it's more urgent
- TELEC is important to do once Windows stuff is more fixed
- @frijol write up a quick doc on what stock we want to keep at Whiplash and what the costs look like
- @johnnyman727 will work out a deal with Seeed re selling modules back to them
- @tcr fixing install process for Windows (USB)
- @johnnyman727 use #team-members and #community to find a champion for cross-platform installation CI. @tcr will eventually want to be involved with this
- @frijol see if there's anyone in #community who is excited about Node 5.x support and wants to work on it
- @johnnyman727 make an issue on Crash Reporter repo: should include OS version
- @johnnyman727 invite potential new Team Member
- @johnnyman727 make sure that everyone who deserves a hoodie gets an opportunity to request one
- @tcr figure out how shipping works for hoodies (does the manufacturer ship to individuals or are we dealing with this?)
- @frijol fix resellers page issue
- @tcr figure out why there's only one USB build on AWS right now
- @johnnyman727 talk to Seeed about making sure T1 modules (e.g. Camera) are not good for T2
- @tcr comment on Windows 10 forums thread (again)
