Foodsoft monthly community call

Sorry, I forgot about the last call and also have to concentrate on a different project (also food coop software) so I can’t really work on Foodsoft right now …

I’d be free on Nov 6th, would be interesting to hear from @steffen and his team.

Would work for me! :+1:

We want to meet for the open Discussions on 21.11 andor 28.11 10-13 CET

Today’s notes: Community call meeting notes - #4 by yksflip

To be more precise, these are work sessions to think through and make decisions on various open discussions regarding the new unit system: foodcoops/foodsoft · Discussions · GitHub
These are non-technical issues, like, what term for “delivery unit” would be most intuitive? How should the order PDF sent to the supplier look like?

We need more opinions than from us 2-3 developers, so feel free to join! (ideally, read/think through the discussions before)

  • 2025-11-21T09:00:00Z2025-11-21T12:00:00Z
  • and perhaps [date-range from=2025-11-28T10:00:00 to=2025-11-28T13:00:00

In the usual Jitsi Call: https://meet.ffmuc.net/foodsoftmeetup

Thanks for the notes.

Due to work I was unable to join, unfortunately.

Family reasons have interfered with finishing the patches for 4.x but I hope to be able to work on that soon.

How do I read the proposed times? Is that from 10:00 to 13:00 (CET for me)?

Do you also want (power) user to join, if possible? I can ask around if people from the two large Amsterdam foodcoops are able to join, although the timing may be difficult for most.

Yes :+1:

I’m all for it. Not too many, but more perspectives would be great. Please link the discussions so they can ideally read/think them through beforehand. Of course, they are also welcome to write their opinion esp. if they can’t make it to the session.

We haven’t had a “Foodsoft monthly community call” for a while now. I think we should do one soon. :smiling_face: Our usual time for this is Thursday, 5pm and that would be okay-ish for me. But I decided to put it up for vote as I’d actually prefer Fridays (on Thursdays I always have to leave early): https://www.termino.gv.at/meet/p/59595252e2cca0af3e064dfca3273179-539596

Good point :slight_smile:

I am also in favor of Friday, btw, as that conflicts a lot less with work.

On Fridays I’m usually only free up to 12:30.

Okay, I now added a morning option to the poll and for the sake of simplicity deleted both your votes, so you can now cast them again, @RayO @twothreenine . Sorry for the hassle.

I assume there is no day chosen at this point as we are missing @yksflip and @steffen ?

Yeah, to be honest, I’d prefer a bigger round of developers. Unless there’s something you want to discuss with us two…?

I guess all we can do is wait until everyone has more time on their hands again. :person_shrugging:
(Let me know, if it’s just the dates offered in this poll that aren’t working for you - I can add more options of course.)

heyyy,

sorry for the late reply. I won’t have the time/energy to be actively involved at the moment and the near future. I haven’t been very active in the last months so I think it’s best if you go on without involving me. Thanks for all your work and efforts!

Hey @yksflip :waving_hand:

sorry for the late reply. I won’t have the time/energy to be actively involved at the moment […]

No worries, obviously it’s in the nature of voluntary work that you can’t expect everyone to be available at all times!

[…] and the near future. I haven’t been very active in the last months so I think it’s best if you go on without involving me.

What do consider “the near future”. Thing is, in terms of seasoned developers everything’s gotten very quiet in the repo all of a sudden (I can’t tell why :person_shrugging: ) - it’s not just you!

For a short period that’s normal, but if this goes on for much longer, the only way forward would be for me to decide, implement and merge everything by myself.

I’d like to avoid that for obvious reasons, but if there’s no help in sight, then it’s probably still better than letting all that work we’ve done so far go to waste - what do you think…?

@steffen Suggested a new meetup date (which works for me):

2026-02-12T16:00:00Z

Please heart this message, if you think you can make it too! :slight_smile:
