  • Liu: Well, I think it's not very obvious.
• Saki: Confidential detail?
  • Bai: Not really.
  • Salted Fish: Best to ask where it was taken, if it's too close to an air force base, it's technically a spying offence.

Wallpaper Vote Planning

• Bai: How and when should we go about voting for the default?
  • Liu: I think we need to use Telegram.
    • Salted Sea: Seconded.
    • Bai: One group for display and another for voting, as with 2020?
      • Liu: That should work, maybe we could bind the two groups together.
  • Canary: Maybe we could use reactions?
    • Liu: Could be a mess, let's not.
    • Bai: Let's just stick to a good old vote.
    • Rick Liu: Maybe we could set a specific emoji?
      • Liu: Some clients still don't support reactions, also it's more work than necessary.
• Bai: We might also need a few days of lead time for resubmission and revisions. Let them have until Monday?
  • Liu: Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday? Monday would be too hasty.
  • Saki: I second Monday.
  • Bai: Let's just make it midnight before Thursday, UTC +8 time.
• Bai: Exception for the 114514 wallpaper against being voted a default wallpaper?
  • Rick Liu: But it will help us with garnering new users LOL.
  • Liu: Indeed, it's a dirty joke - but it could remain in the wallpaper pack.
  • Saki: Or we could just reject it.
    • Liu: Not appropriate, it's not against the rule.
      • Bai: Seconded.
• Bai: Should we just make 2nd place for default Retro wallpaper to save a vote?
  • Saki: No, they have very different visual targets.
    • Bai: So let's just make two votes.

Codename Nomination Planning

• Bai: How should we go about collecting codenames? Google Forms?
  • Salted Fish: Let's stick with GitHub, Google Forms could be a mess with redundant submissions.
• Bai: When should we do it?
  • Liu: Just during wallpaper votes?
• Bai: Should we limit nomination for each person?
  • Liu: No.
    • Salted Fish: Seconded, as we did before.

Actionables

• Bai: Notify for revisions and rejections, as well as deadlines.
