* What's the difference between syn2cat, hackerspace and Level2
 +
syn2cat is the organization,
 +
Level2 is the localization,
 +
hackerspace is the type of institution

So it's the "Level2" hackerspace by syn2cat

* What are the twitter accounts used for? syn2cat, level2lu, haxogren
 +
 +
level2lu: tweets about the location, i.e. the opening/closing and everything happening at the level2 hackerspace, a part of "internet of things"
 +
 +
syn2cat: about everything orgnizued by the asbl (hack.lu stand etc...)
 +

haxogreen: exclusively used for the haxogreen event
 +
 +
* On the sustainability of keeping information on source.hacker.lu, the redmine to github migration, what to store on github, and justification for the secrets the office should keep from other members.
 +
 +
Problem of maintainability of current infrastructure, e.g. redmine is in a bad state currently
 +
 +
migrate maximum stuff to our github account
 +
 +
what about the parts from office?
 +
 +
Some infos are not meant to be available to other members (i.e. their private phone numbers).
 +
Every project owner should decide on himself if he wants to use source.hacker.lu or github (private or public)
 +
 +
It's not only migrating the git repo but also the tracker issues. There are scripts for that
 +
 +
Note: currently there is on github "syn2cat" and "lvl2" accounts. Only lvl2 has the private repository possibility. In the future the syn2cat repos will be merged into lvl2, and then rename lvl2 into syn2cat.

Minutes

Presence: 11 people

Start: 19:10

  • What's the difference between syn2cat, hackerspace and Level2

syn2cat is the organization, Level2 is the localization, hackerspace is the type of institution

So it's the "Level2" hackerspace by syn2cat

  • What are the twitter accounts used for? syn2cat, level2lu, haxogren

level2lu: tweets about the location, i.e. the opening/closing and everything happening at the level2 hackerspace, a part of "internet of things"

syn2cat: about everything orgnizued by the asbl (hack.lu stand etc...)

haxogreen: exclusively used for the haxogreen event

  • On the sustainability of keeping information on source.hacker.lu, the redmine to github migration, what to store on github, and justification for the secrets the office should keep from other members.

Problem of maintainability of current infrastructure, e.g. redmine is in a bad state currently

migrate maximum stuff to our github account

what about the parts from office?

Some infos are not meant to be available to other members (i.e. their private phone numbers). Every project owner should decide on himself if he wants to use source.hacker.lu or github (private or public)

It's not only migrating the git repo but also the tracker issues. There are scripts for that

Note: currently there is on github "syn2cat" and "lvl2" accounts. Only lvl2 has the private repository possibility. In the future the syn2cat repos will be merged into lvl2, and then rename lvl2 into syn2cat.
