Trustroots Meeting

Date: 2020-06-08 19:00 UTC+2/CEST
Facilitator: Everyone, ish
Present: Carla, Changai, Michael, Dario, Martin, Gabriel

Agenda

hellos and checkin
value priorities
- Dario thinks it better to wait until Noah is around, postponed for now.
summary of renaming tribes videocall /Martin
- Summary of https://codi.kanthaus.online/s/renamingtribes#
- Three new name suggestions, mockup available both on pad and in Slack channel.
sexual abuse case - Support issue transparancy
- summary: /dario
  - someone reported another member of sexual abuse, years ago, unrelated to TR
  - problems:
    - believing the victim and protecting them and the community vs wrongly excluding someone (much less likely, we think)
    - looking into the messages only with consent vs. not making the victim feel as if we wouldn't believe them
- input / feedback:
  - simply "believing the victim" doesn't scale – but whats the alternative?
  - suggestion to only act upon a police report
    - keep in mind that most sexual abuse cases are not reported to police out of fear /dario
  - vouching feature
update from the mobile side of things /Michael
- we had a code introduction meeting yesterday
  - https://codi.kanthaus.online/trustroots-mobile?view
- smoothly going forward
- Android & iOS public betas approved
  - https://play.google.com/apps/testing/org.trustroots.beta
  - https://testflight.apple.com/join/sCBEMC71
- Design is being worked on - happy for any input!
- Still confident to bring a viable beta to live in ~2 weeks :)
- can we add the app to our existing fdroid repo? /dario
pick facilitator for next meeting
random question
integrate riot? integrate the matrix protocol without riot? /chagai
- proposal to simply set up a matrix instance on trustroots servers now
- later on:
  - integrate matrix protocol in trustroots, at first without federation
  - advantages:
    - instant messaging instead of waiting 15 mins for cronjob
    - include matrix's messaging features like "liking a message", "answering to specific messages"
- cons:
  - how to handle safety stuff then?
- action points:
  - bring it up again in a more tech-y meeting, also when Mikael is present who implemented messages

Action points and outcomes

Next Date: June 15, 18:00 (presuming we're alternating 18:00 and 19:00)
Next Facilitator: Martin? (Not all too trustworthy schedule, if somebody else can it'd be great..)

The value priorities discussion will be held at a future meeting.
Alternatives for new Tribes name available in Slack and the pad, discussions as to which one is best suited should be held once a good number of opinions are on the pad.
Preparing workflows for difficult support cases and potential ways to block a member could be useful. (Is the blocking feature something we're already working on? /Martin)
It might be an idea to look into something similar to the CS vouching feature in the future.
Michael is happy to get feedback on the mobile design. Beta likely live in about 2 weeks(!)
Riot integration should be brought up again in a more tech-specific meeting, preferably with Mikael present as he implemented messages.
