<h2>Mailing List discussions</h2>
<p>
Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This
discussion takes place on the <a href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/maillist"
target="_blank">Mail List</a> which is open to all HPR listeners and
contributors. The discussions are open and available on the HPR server under
<a href="https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr">Mailman</a>.
</p>
<p>The threaded discussions this month can be found here:</p>
<a href="https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-May/thread.html" target="_blank">https://lists.hackerpublicradio.com/pipermail/hpr/2024-May/thread.html</a>

<h2>Any other business</h2>
<h3 id="proposed-policy-change">Proposed policy change</h3>
<ul>
<li>In the past month we were asked to remove a show that had been added
to the database, and uploaded to archive.org. This was done, but:
<ul>
<li>The amount of work to do this type of change is not trivial.</li>
<li>It's not possible to remove archive.org items, only to remove their
contents and replace them with whatever comes from the replacement
show.</li>
<li>The processes involved in this deletion and replacement are not
complex but are somewhat labour-intensive.</li>
<li>There are ramifications into existing feeds (podcast players cache
episode details and do not replace them, etc).</li>
</ul></li>
<li>It is proposed that the policy be changed to discourage this, except
in severe cases - perhaps those with copyright or other legal
consequences. Obviously, we normally take great care that incoming shows
are unlikely to trigger such problems in the first place.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="the-future-feed">The Future Feed</h3>
<ul>
<li><p>There is a feed which is normally referred to as the <a
href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/rss-future.php">"Future Feed"</a>,
which can be found on the <a
href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/syndication.html">RSS Syndication
page</a>. It receives shows which are posted out of order as they come
in and may be replaced/reposted if errors are found. This is intended as
a means to find issues with metadata or the audio quality of new shows
before they hit the main feed.</p></li>
<li><p>Recently a show was posted to this feed which was truncated.
Unfortunately, although the Janitors and a number or listeners follow
this feed, this truncation was not spotted until the show was
released.</p></li>
<li><p>It would be much appreciated if you could assist with watching <a
href="https://hackerpublicradio.org/rss-future.php">this feed</a> for
errors in the future. Please contact the Janitors if you notice
anything.</p></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="janitorial-team">Janitorial Team</h3>
<ul>
<li>We have had some recent contributions to the development of the HPR
software from <code>norrist</code> and <code>kdmurray</code>. We also
added them to the "HPR Janitor's Closet" on Matrix to speed up
discussions about open tickets. If anyone else wishes to help out with
the development please do so by creating an account on our <a
href="https://repo.anhonesthost.net/">Gitea server</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="denial-of-service-attacks-on-the-internet-archive">Denial of
Service Attacks on the Internet Archive</h3>
<ul>
<li><p>There have been a number of DDoS attacks on this service in the
recent past. Jason Scott (<code>@textfiles@mastodon.archive.org</code>),
<em>Free-Range Archivist at the Internet Archive</em>, has been
mentioning this on Mastodon.</p></li>
<li><p>These attacks mean that we can sometimes be delayed when we need
to upload shows to the IA.</p></li>
</ul>
