automatic nagging for board reports?
(replies to community@ please)
I believe many ASF projects are chronically late in sending in status
reports in time for the board meeting. That's bad and they should be
nagged about it. Since manual nagging is a chore, how about a small
script in a crontab somewhere that automates sending out a timely reminder?
I'll volunteer to set it up if such a thing is desireable. I just need
the report schedule and some time.
Or maybe we could (mis)use Jira?
comments? Good idea?

Well, nagging can be as simple as checking in the draft board agenda -
yesterday's CVS check-in at the very least triggered me to starting
hunting for report items. :)

Lately, I've been sending the nag to board@ since all the Chairs need to
be subscribed to that anyways. If an auto-nag sends that email, then I'm
quite fine with that.
IOW, maybe avoid the direct email to PMC Chairs and just send the board@
email.
(and yah, I see that Leo has given up for now, but figured I'd add my
thoughts on this; and yah, it bugs me to no end to have to nag)

The schedule is in committers/board/committee-info.txt.
The mod_perl one is due February, May, August and November so I put
this in the crontab of one of my boxes:
0 0 1 2,5,8,11 * echo "remember remember ...." | mail -s "mod_perl PMC report due this month" ask@develooper.com
which reminds me to remind the PMC to make a report. :)

The schedule is in committers/board/comitee-info.txt
For time, you'll have to ask yourself ;-)
I also have a script that nags about patched submitted in bugzilla, and
have other nags that I'd like to have done, like for example
reminding me to update the status file after 72 hours a PMC member is
added etc etc, and some chore automation.
I'll add what I have in the committers CVS module, we can start (and
even change it all) from there.

FWIW, I decided there was not enough interest to make me want to do the
work :D

iCalendar event? .ics in mail are imported automatically to iCal (for
Mac OS X), and any ASF Officer should be able to get it into
korganizer, evolution, Outlook, or whatever calendaring app they are
using.
it is a VTODO what we want here, and I'm not that sure about importing
todos.
