[12:16] <dinda> right now it's separate and I'm afraid we are duplicating effort in some areas
[12:17] <elmo> dinda: there's no way that I'm aware of to have searches span two distinct moin wikis
[12:17] <dinda> Elkbuntu mentioned that perhaps it can be linked like the kubuntu or edubuntu ones
[12:17] <dinda> ah
[12:17] <elmo> dinda: the kubuntu and edubuntu wikis are in fact the ubuntu wiki with a different theme
[12:17] <fernando> hey all
[12:17] <pochu> fernando: hi! :)
[12:18] <fernando> hi pochu =)
[12:18] <dinda> hmmm, then we may pursue merging the UW one back into the main wiki. . .
[12:18] <sabdfl> would be perfectly possible to do the same for the U-W wiki
[12:18] <sabdfl> but dinda the downside is a really really noisy RecentChanges page, iirc
[12:18] <sabdfl> being in the main wiki is best, imo, if language isn't an issue
[12:19] <dinda> pleia2 - any thoughts?
[12:19] <pleia2> I think we should work on moving back to the main wiki
[12:20] <sabdfl> in terms of additional admins, you will need to cultivate that interest internally
[12:20] <sabdfl> is there anything specific the CC can help with?
[12:20] <pleia2> I don't think so, we're coming along with that, just not quite there yet
[12:20] <gnomefreak> dinda: if you join #ubuntu-ops or talk to seveas or nalioth im sure the /ops/ part of it can be worked out
[12:20] <sabdfl> ok. well done on negotiating the latest bump in the road, i think you are on your way now
[12:20] <dinda> yip -we came b/c of the note in the agenda - thought we were done last time ;)
[12:21] <sabdfl> ah. way I readit, i thought you'd PUT the note in the agenda!
[12:21] <sabdfl> np
[12:21] <sabdfl> should we move on?
[12:21] <dinda> thanks
[12:21] <sabdfl> is stephen stalcuphere?
[12:22] <Vorian> sabdfl, hello
[12:22] <Vorian> you ready for the ohio team?
[12:22] <Vorian> Hello from the ohio team!  Here is our application page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/ApprovalApplication. You can find all our links on our wiki home page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam.
[12:22] <sabdfl> hey Vorian
[12:22] <sabdfl> starting an underground movement over there?
[12:22] <Vorian> :)
[12:22] <Vorian> doing our best.
[12:23] <sabdfl> :-)
[12:23] <sabdfl> what are buckeyes?
[12:23] <skippy> nuts from a Buckeye tree
[12:23] <Vorian> ohio state university
[12:23] <skippy> or, chocolate covered peanut butter balls.  yummy!
[12:24] <meatballhat> the chocolate + PB versions are better ;-)
[12:24] <SD-Plissken> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohio_Buckeye
[12:24] <sabdfl> that's funny, skippy is a kind of peanut butter where i come from
[12:24] <Vorian> lol
[12:25] <sabdfl> tagline: yippy for skippy!
[12:25] <gnomefreak> here too
[12:25] <skippy> same here, sabdfl.  I'm _extra_ smooth.  ;)
[12:25] <PWill> haha
[12:25] <sabdfl> i think skippy is a bot
[12:25] <sabdfl> lurks in various channels
[12:25] <sabdfl> listening for nut references
[12:25] <sabdfl> very cunning
[12:25] <skippy> I've been discovered!
[12:25] <sabdfl> ok, ohio, seriously
[12:26] <SD-Plissken> wait a sec sabdfl is a peanut butter and jelly fan.. no way..
[12:26] <Vorian> I'll repost the links :)
[12:26] <sabdfl> totally
[12:26] <MikeB-> its Peanut Butter Jelly Time

[12:26] <Moniker42> MikeB-, noooo
[12:27] <Vorian> we would also like sabdfl to consider visiting the Ohio Linuxfest this September :)
[12:27] <skippy> formal invitation is forthcoming from the appropriate channels.
[12:27] <sabdfl> it's become quite a legendary event
[12:27] <elkbuntu> i have to go now, but *cheer* for dinda for when you get to her :)
[12:27] <sabdfl> september's not good for me though! but separate issue
[12:27] <Brady_M_at_work> Vorian: sorry for getting here late.
[12:27] <sabdfl> vorian, how spread out is the ohio team?
[12:28] <PWill> skippy and I are both on the Ohio Linux Fest team, and others on the team have also thought that would be a good idea, sabdfl
[12:28] <sabdfl> is it mostly columbus, or is it quite spread across the state?
[12:28] <fernando> good night all (college time)
[12:28] <Vorian> 4 metro areas, no more than an hour and a half apart each
[12:28] <sabdfl> night fernando
[12:28] <sabdfl> is it a very big state?
[12:28] <Vorian> sabdfl, I live in a rural area of Ohio
[12:28] <Vorian> Not that big
[12:28] <MikeB-> PWill: is it still connected to the Ham Radio Fest?
[12:28] <jacobmp92> sabdfl: not too big
[12:28] <ausimage> the top is too wide, though ;)
[12:29] <Vorian> Very populace however.
[12:29] <sabdfl> ok
[12:29] <sabdfl> we'll i' +1 on the application, i can see the team is very well organised
[12:29] <skippy> MikeB-, Ohio Linux Fest is not connected to the HamFest.
[12:30] <elmo> yeah, +1 from me too - impressive growth too, to be nearly 90 members in what 3-4 months?
[12:30] <Vorian> thanks sabdfl :)
[12:30] <Vorian> thanks elmo :)
[12:30] <MikeB->  the Loco app looks great, and the Ohio team has been very active on the forums
[12:30] <Zelut> Ohio is setting a big example for the other US Teams, even us established teams!
[12:30] <Vorian> elmo, yes, ubuntuforums have been a great engine for our growth
[12:30] <theidiotthatisme> Ubuntuforums allowed me to discover the Ohio Team, and so far I've been loving it :-)
[12:31] <MikeB-> theidiotthatisme: great to hear, Woot!
[12:32] <sabdfl> yes, it's interesting how the ohio team seems to make very good use of the forums
[12:32] <sabdfl> vorian, did you start out in the community in the forums?
[12:32] <Vorian> sabdfl, launchpad was first
[12:33] <Vorian> the forums shortly after our formation
[12:33] <sabdfl> nice
[12:33] <meatballhat> I'm hesitant to cheer too much, having just been member-ized, but the Ohio LoCo Team is easily the most positive volunteer organization I've ever been a part of :D
[12:33] <PWill> sabdfl: Within about a month, we got http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/
[12:33] <sabdfl> Vorian: what's your top LP gripe?
[12:33] <jacobmp92> the forums were the biggest source of mebers, including me :)
[12:33] <Vorian> sabdfl, its a bit slow sometimes
[12:33] <sabdfl> hmm... we're trying to figure out how to avoid having to use ssl all the time
[12:34] <Vorian> other than that, i wish it were open source :)
[12:34] <sabdfl> are you in the beta group?
[12:34] <Vorian> sabdfl, not now... :)
[12:34] <PriceChild> I could help you apply for the launchpad beta later Vorian.
[12:34] <Vorian> ty PriceChild :)
[12:34] <sabdfl> cool
[12:35] <sabdfl> ok, well done ohio!
[12:35] <Vorian> I would love to help
[12:35] <sabdfl> next?
[12:35] <meatballhat> yay!
[12:35] <sabdfl> 5 member candidates
[12:35] <Vorian> thanks sabdfl!
[12:35] <nixternal> Ohio! </drew carey voice>
[12:35] <sabdfl> should we take it from the top?
[12:35] <sabdfl> stgraber: ping, you're up!
[12:35] <stgraber> yep, thank you
[12:35] <stgraber> Good evening everyone. I'm Stphane Graber, I use Linux for 6-7 years (I can't remember precisely) and Ubuntu since Warty Warthog. I'm a student in the CPLN in Neuchtel. I'm currently testing Feisty's betas and reporting bugs when I can, I'm also testing a bit the Launchpad beta. I recently started learning python (I'm more a perl or PHP developer) and did a small Pastebin client that's now in Feisty's universe (pastebinit).
[12:35] <SD-Plissken> Congrats Vorian and the Ohio team.
[12:36] <stgraber> I'm also involved in local activities which includes helping new linux users in general (as we are some Debian/Ubuntu users we usually propose Ubuntu as a first distribution) and the Phoenix project (more information on my wiki page).
[12:36] <stgraber> My wiki page is : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/stgraber
[12:36] <stgraber> As I think I'm now quite involved in pushing Ubuntu to a top distribution I'd really like to become a Ubuntu Member.
[12:37] <sabdfl> stgraber: i think i'm just around the corner from you now
[12:38] <sabdfl> nice wiki page
[12:38] <stgraber> thank you
[12:38] <MikeB-> stgraber: very nice wiki
[12:38] <stgraber> I copied a little bit nixternal's one :)
[12:38] <sabdfl> stgraber: have you proposed the swiss-french patch to cjwatson so it will be in feisty?
[12:38] <nixternal> haha
[12:38] <mako> sorry i'm late everyone
[12:38] <nixternal> oi mako
[12:39] <sabdfl> hey mako
[12:39] <stgraber> sabdfl: this keyboard issue is fixed in feisty
[12:39] <stgraber> hi mako
[12:39] <sabdfl> mako: we're on the first of 5 membership applications
[12:39] <stgraber> sabdfl: In fact I proposed the patch but it was too late for Edgy and then it's fixed in Feisty
[12:39] <gnomefreak> hi mako
[12:40] <sabdfl> i'm+1 on stgraber - he's been interested since early days and is quite an active participate: https://bugs.beta.launchpad.net/~stgraber/+subscribedbugs
[12:40] <sabdfl> (drop the beta for those folks not in the beta program)
[12:42] <stgraber> thank you sabdfl
[12:42] <elmo> +1
[12:43] <stgraber> mako: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/stgraber if you want to have a look
[12:43] <sabdfl> stgraber: snowing over there too?
[12:43] <stgraber> no, that's quite a problem in fact
[12:43] <stgraber> not enough snow this winter
[12:43] <mako> stgraber: that's what i'm looking at
[12:43] <sabdfl> stgraber: https://bugs.beta.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/62842
[12:43] <mako> alright, +1 from me too
[12:43] <Ubugtu> Malone bug 62842 in rhythmbox "daap with itunes 7 doesn't work correctly" [Low,Confirmed] 
[12:44] <sabdfl> i see you're interested in quite a few bugs that are linked to upstreams
[12:44] <sabdfl> do you have any ideas about how we can improve the way we work with upstreams?
[12:44] <stgraber> Having a responsable for each package or group of package who will do the communication part with upstream
[12:45] <stgraber> but maybe someone else than the packager or maintainer
[12:45] <sabdfl> right - someone primarily to "build a bridge" between the communities
[12:45] <sabdfl> i agree very strongly
[12:45] <stgraber> yes, that's the idea
[12:45] <sabdfl> ok
[12:45] <sabdfl> welcome aboard!
[12:45] <MikeB-> stgraber: an Dev-Upstream Team, good idea
[12:45] <stgraber> thank you very much everyone
[12:46] <sabdfl> pochu: spotlight on you!
[12:46] <pochu> well :)
[12:46] <MikeB-> stgraber: grats
[12:46] <pochu> Hello everybody :) I'm Emilio Pozuelo, aka pochu. This is my wiki page ---> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EmilioPozuelo . As you can see there, I'm a bugfighter :) I like to triage bugs, and am learning packaging, so I fix some (not very difficult) bugs. Also, I'm an ISO testing team member, and I'm helping heno with the team.
[12:46] <stgraber> MikeB-: thx
[12:46] <pochu> I'm also a SpanishTeam admin (but just since one week or so). We are having a little problems in the team, but jono is helping us, so I hope we can solve them the best way for the team :) And a Spanish Translators member (which was one of my first contributions to the Ubuntu community, because I didn't know too much about bug triaging and packaging).
[12:47] <sabdfl> pochu: do the spanish ubuntu + kubuntu translation teams work well together?
[12:47] <pochu> sabdfl: yeah, the team was owned by carlos till today, when he has step down to the oldest member of the team
[12:48] <MikeB-> atoponce: afternoon Aaron
[12:48] <atoponce> MikeB-: hello. :)
[12:48] <pochu> sabdfl: there is just one spanish translators team -> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-es
[12:48] <seb128> I can confirm that pochu is doing some good job on bug triage
[12:48] <sabdfl> pochu: 58 bugs in compiz! just as well we ducked on compiz-by-default, you think?

[12:50] <pochu> sabdfl: yeah, I would like, but first I want to learn more packaging, since I'm still a little newbie :)

[12:52] <dinda> Im Belinda/Dinda Lopez from Galveston, Texas.  Ive been following the project for over a year become increasingly active over the past six months. I went to the UDS Paris event to see if the project to investigate if the project had some real legs under it and try to find out what this whole open source thing is about. My wiki is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelindaLopez
[12:53] <mako> pochu: thanks for your work on ubuntu so far :)
[12:53] <DktrKranz> we were late :(
[12:53] <seb128> pochu: congrat
[12:53] <DktrKranz> anyway, congrats pochu :)
[12:53] <beuno> congrats pochu!
[12:53] <dinda> My main interests were in the areas of training and education but that soon led to other events, more research and falling into the Ubuntu Womens project.  Ive also helped organize the Houston Loco Team and am trying to help with the Texas Team bringing together the Dallas, Houston and Austin folks under one umbrella.
[12:53] <sabdfl> i'll vouch for dinda, who has made a great contribution in a number of areas, most recently U-W
[12:53] <dinda> Thanks sabdfl!
[12:54] <gnomefreak> <off topic> but i like the look of ubun2 ;)
[12:54] <dinda> others left cheers on my wiki page
[12:54] <pleia2> yes, dinda has done extensive work with U-W these past few months, we have really appreciated her efforts
[12:54] <mako> dinda: so we saw you recently on opening up the ubuntu women team
[12:54] <mako> dinda: how ha that been going?
[12:55] <dinda> It's going really well, lots of new folks interested in helping
[12:55] <dinda> and several leading new projects
[12:55] <pleia2> dinda: many of which you're spearheading
[12:55] <dinda> we're working on a membership drive around International Women's Day on March 8
[12:55] <pleia2> which is excellent :)
[12:56] <mako> great, i love the testimonials on your wiki page :)
[12:56] <dinda> the pilot event was great - but cold!
[12:56] <mako> wonderful :)
[12:56] <sabdfl> dinda: what's Sakai?
[12:57] <dinda> so I hope Spain will have much better weather :)
[12:57] <dinda> Sakai is like Moodle
[12:57] <elmo> dinda: it will
[12:57] <alex_muntada> pochu: enhorabuena!

[12:58] <Moniker42> whoops, wrong channel....
[12:58] <sabdfl> Moniker42: not really ;-)
[12:58] <Moniker42> theidiotthatisme, i think the complete incompatability with all my peripherals and sound card is enough to put me off

[01:02] <gnomefreak> we (ubuntu-mozillateam) are using the bot for meetins :)

[01:04] <Seeker`_> ausimage is very hard working, and he has put a lot of time and effort into starting this team
[01:05] <Seeker`_> and he is always coming up with new ideas
[01:05] <ausimage> Yeah I am now involving myself in NewYorkTeam as well
[01:05] <dinda> since Seveas isn't here - Is anyone doing the LP account updates?

[01:13] <sabdfl> s|g: you're on
[01:13] <MikeB-> ausimage: congrats
[01:13] <s|g> I'm a sysadmin and web developer from Hungary. I've been using OSS for a long time now (first distro was Debian Boo). I've tried many linux distros (Slackware, Gentoo, SuSE etc.), and BSDs, and since Warty do I use Ubuntu, and I'm very satisfied with it so far.
[01:13] <s|g> I'm translator of many OSS projects (gimp, openoffice.org, icewm, drupal etc), and now I'm the leader of the Hungarian Ubuntu Translation Team.
[01:13] <ausimage> Anyone interested in Scribes drop by
[01:13] <s|g> I'm founder and contributor of many Hungarian OSS communities (gimp.hu, drupal.hu, Hungarian BSD Association). I spoke at Open Source conferences in Hungary about various topics (Hungarian Ubuntu Conference, Linux Conference, Fsf Roadshow).
[01:13] <s|g> In the future I'd like to contribute more: helping in community building and developing and translating and writing Ubuntu documentation and HOWTOs
[01:13] <s|g> The person here to support me is Szilveszter Farkas (phanatic).
[01:13] <s|g> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GaborSuveg
[01:15] <elmo> s|g: are the hungarian ubuntu translation team using launchpad/rosetta?
[01:15] <phanatic> s|g has been a valuable member of the hungarian community for more than a year now... and his contributions to foss in hungary is pretty significant
[01:15] <s|g> elmo: yes.
[01:15] <mako> that's kind of funny that you brought a phanatic to support you
[01:15] <phanatic> mako: :))
[01:16] <sabdfl> phanatical support!
[01:16] <sabdfl> sounds like rackspace
[01:16] <s|g> ;)
[01:16] <mako> sabdfl: in fact :)
[01:16] <sabdfl> s|g: is your primary focus advocacy?
[01:16] <phanatic> he's really one of our best men :)
[01:16] <elmo> s|g: ok - just noticing that you haven't been using rosetta yourself much lately/yet... (not that it's in any way a requirement of course, just interesting to me that someone so  involved in translations hasn't used it much so far)
[01:16] <elmo> mako: phanboy was busy
[01:17] <s|g> sabdfl: yes
[01:17] <s|g> elmo: yes. im love better locale translating, but all is committed into ubuntu
[01:17] <mako> the website forums, etc is is impressive
[01:18] <mako> s|g: which parts can you take credit for?
[01:18] <sabdfl> there seems to be a really strong community in Hungary - any particular driver for that?
[01:18] <s|g> mako: first i/we want to build the ubuntu.hu
[01:19] <phanatic> sabdfl: you mean a person by 'driver'?
[01:21] <mako> s|g: what came second?
[01:22] <mako> i've seen a lot of great stuff on the webiste, i'm just tryin to figure out what your role was
[01:22] <s|g> help within forum
[01:22] <phanatic> now he's responsible for our drupal-based site (which is under heavy development)
[01:22] <mako> s|g: do you have a user page within the forum?
[01:22] <s|g> mako: we reorganize .hu website, clean all howto, wiki etc.
[01:23] <mako> ah, ok
[01:23] <mako> where is that site?
[01:23] <phanatic> http://barack.fsf.hu:11080/ -- only the theme is in its place
[01:23] <s|g> mako: can i give you access.
[01:24] <mako> phanatic: it looks nice
[01:24] <mako> s|g: i don't know, can you?
[01:24] <phanatic> mako: actually it needs some tricks
[01:24] <s|g> mako: this is the tableless ubuntu skin
[01:24] <mako> yes
[01:25] <s|g> mako: with this url you cant login into drupal. you need put line into host file ;)
[01:25] <mako> ah, ok
[01:25] <mako> that's a bit much
[01:25] <mako> you can tell me
[01:25] <phanatic> because the dns entry still doesn't point to this site, and cookies screw up :)
[01:25] <phanatic> so it's a bit complicated as of now
[01:25] <mako> i'm just trying to figure out which parts you've contributed to the website so far
[01:26] <s|g> we finished with virtual machine in this weekend
[01:26] <mako> you say that a bunch of your work has been on ubuntu.hu
[01:26] <mako> and just looking to see examples of things you've done on ubuntu .hu to date
[01:26] <s|g> drupal part, skining
[01:26] <mako> it doesn't have to be the new stuff
[01:26] <mako> have you written content for hte existing site? there is lots of stuff up there
[01:27] <s|g> we would integrate the i18n part into new site
[01:27] <mako> have you participated in the forums?
[01:27] <mako> can you post a link to a page about your account activity in the forums?
[01:27] <s|g> in forums in hungarian yes
[01:27] <mako> it's ok if it's in hungarian
[01:27] <mako> i'd just like to see
[01:28] <sabdfl> s|g: it's normal for us to want to be able to judge the extent of someone's contribution, and the time over which they have been a participant
[01:28] <mako> s|g: usually people put links not only to their teams, but to example of their work on the team
[01:29] <sabdfl> it's clear to me that you've made a huge FLOSS contribution in .hu and elsewhere
[01:29] <sabdfl> i'm also trying trying to see the specific ubuntu work you've contributed
[01:29] <s|g> organize ubuntu conferece
[01:29] <s|g> making ubuntu flyer to this conference
[01:30] <sabdfl> i did hear good things about that conf
[01:30] <s|g> speak from graphics application on this conference
[01:30] <mako> sure, so did i
[01:30] <s|g> and speak it in a local tv
[01:31] <s|g> http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsuveg/279014007/
[01:32] <s|g> it is the flyer
[01:32] <s|g> http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsuveg/279014120/ page 2
[01:32] <sabdfl> nice logo!
[01:33] <mako> yes, that's the type of documentation that i'm looking for
[01:33] <mako> s|g: i think i would be most comfortable if you took some time between now and the next meeting ot make a complete list of those types of contributions and to support them with links like this
[01:34] <mako> s|g: i have every reason to believe that you've made significant and sustained contributions to ubuntu, but your wiki page isn't linking to documentation to support that yet (imho)
[01:34] <s|g> mako: ok
[01:35] <mako> s|g: you should email with jono and have him let you konw what he thinks before the next meeting
[01:35] <mako> phanatic: you don't need to come back, your support and testimonial should be enough
[01:35] <sabdfl> mako: you are such a bad cop! but i concur :-)
[01:35] <s|g> mako: ok
[01:35] <mako> s|g: i'm sure that once you get the site online and everything, it will be really easy
[01:35] <phanatic> mako: okay, thanks
[01:35] <sabdfl> s|g: please come back once that wiki page is clearer
[01:35] <mako> s|g: sorry we didn't get to do it today :(
[01:35] <mako> s|g: next time thought! :)
[01:35] <sabdfl> i've no doubt too that you are making a great contribution
[01:36] <mako>  did we just fall off the end of the agenda?
[01:38] <pochu> I think yes :)
[01:38] <mako> alright then
[01:38] <mako> i'm late for another meeting so i'll jet if that's alright
[01:38] <mako> sorry again that i was late..
[01:38] <sabdfl> thanks mako!
[01:38] <pochu> mako: np :)
[01:38] <mako> was there a decision you need a vote from me on at te beginning?
[01:38] <sabdfl> and thanks to everyone here
[01:38] <mako> if so, someone needs to send me a log so i can look over it
[01:38] <sabdfl> ohio team got +1'd
[01:38] <sabdfl> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam
[01:38] <mako> i doubt i'll find that controversial :)
[01:38] <sabdfl> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OhioTeam/ApprovalApplication
[01:38] <ausimage> mako MeetingLoges
[01:38] <Moniker42> what's the best language to learn to make a contribution to the ubuntu project? python?
[01:38] <mako> ausimage: yes yes :)
[01:38] <sabdfl> Moniker42: or C, yes
[01:38] <mako> Vorian: was here from ohio?
[01:38] <sabdfl> very much so :-)
[01:39] <Monk-e> sabdfl: does C++ count?
[01:39] <Vorian> hi mako
[01:39] <sabdfl> Monk-e: of course!
[01:39] <mako> Vorian: what does buckeye mean?
[01:39] <mako> i've always wondered that
[01:39] <sabdfl> Moniker42: also, any friendly language, for advocacy and support ;-)
[01:39] <Vorian> its a nut from the buckeye tree
[01:39] <sabdfl> mako: read the logs :-)
[01:39] <Vorian> but the mascot for ohio state university :)
[01:39] <sabdfl> you'll enjoy that part
[01:39] <Vorian> lol
[01:39] <Moniker42> sabdfl, i have a rather large summer with nothing to do between the end of my high school exams and the start of my CS course at uni =)
[01:39] <sabdfl> ok, thanks all and good night
[01:39] <Moniker42> might learn a language...
[01:40] <Vorian> sabdfl, I applied for the launchpad beta
[01:40] <mako> sabdfl: great :)
[01:40] <mako> the page looks really great
[01:40] <dinda> thanks to the CC for all your help!
[01:40] <sabdfl> Vorian: do you solemnly swear not to post screenshots of beta stuff?
[01:40] <ausimage> Pricey: how do you in this beta launchpad?
[01:40] <mako> i'll read the logs and get to you but i don't see how i'll disagree
[01:40] <Vorian> sabdfl, so say we all
[01:40] <Vorian> i swear.
[01:40] <Moniker42> he crossed his fingers!
[01:40] <Moniker42> i saw it!

[01:40] <pochu> Moniker42: hehe :)

[08:55] <mdz> Keybuk: ping
[08:55] <Keybuk> yo
[08:59] <mdz> hi mjg59
[09:00] <mdz> let's begin
[09:00] <mjg59> Evening
[09:00] <mdz> I updated the agenda to reflect the reorganization of Launchpad teams which was carried out by the new MOTU council
[09:00] <mdz> (thanks sistpoty)
[09:01] <mdz> I believe we have one applicant for -core-dev
[09:01] <mdz> asac: are you here?
[09:02] <mdz> asac's application was deferred from the last meeting because his sponsor wasn't present, and he hadn't had much experience in Ubuntu yet
[09:03] <mdz> ok, he doesn't seem to be present
[09:03] <mjg59> Hm.
[09:03] <mdz> is there a MOTU council representative here?
[09:03] <Keybuk> but he has such a wonderful level of contribution to Fooix the Wonder Toaster!
[09:03] <ogra> Fooix the Wonder Toaster ?
[09:04] <mdz> ajmitch: are there any MOTU applications to be considered by the tech board?
[09:04] <Keybuk> ogra: LP beta joke
[09:04] <ajmitch> mdz: we haven't had any applications come to us yet, though we're still waiting on a mailing list to handle them
[09:04] <ogra> Keybuk, ah ...
[09:04] <mdz> ajmitch: IIRC we referred some applicants to the Council a couple of meetings ago
[09:05] <mdz> but the council wasn't quite operational yet
[09:05] <mdz> so please check back with them now that you're ready to process them
[09:05] <mdz> ajmitch: feel free to forward them by email to technical-board@ so that they don't block until the next TB meeting
[09:06] <mdz> the first and only discussion item is one I added
[09:06] <mdz> Technical Board nominations
[09:07] <ajmitch> sure
[09:07] <sabdfl> actually, it would be great to make that std operating procedure
[09:07] <sabdfl> so those applications don't block onmeetings
[09:07] <sabdfl> unless an application raises a question the TB feels should be discussed here
[09:07] <ajmitch> I think that was what was originally proposed
[09:07] <sabdfl> it should be possible to just +1 it and be done
[09:08] <mdz> yes, we agreed that
[09:08] <mdz> just reconfirming
[09:09] <mdz> so, tech board nominations.  sabdfl, I think this ball is in your court.  how can we help to move it forward?
[09:10] <sabdfl> my apologies
[09:11] <sabdfl> if we want to just nominate and have confirmation votes, we are good to go
[09:11] <mdz> I'm happy to assist with the legwork if that helps
[09:11] <sabdfl> if we want more of a runoff, then we need some testing of an appropriate voting stuff in lp
[09:11] <sabdfl> let's just do the easy thing
[09:11] <mdz> I think that nominate+confirm is appropriate
[09:11] <sabdfl> ok, it makes for less exciting voting though :-)
[09:11] <sabdfl> but it's fine for this round
[09:11] <sabdfl> we've delayed enough
[09:12] <mdz> it's also what's written in the governance documents ;-)
[09:12] <mdz> if you would like to send me your nominees, I can set up the polls and announce the vote
[09:13] <mdz> sabdfl: sound ok?
[09:13] <sabdfl> super
[09:13] <sabdfl> thanks mdz
[09:13] <mdz> great
[09:14] <mjg59> Sounds good to me
[09:14] <mjg59> asac: Still not around?
[09:14] <sabdfl> mdz: i think we have enough wiggle room in the governance docs to have a runoff
[09:14] <sabdfl> it's still nominate+confirm
[09:14] <sabdfl> just a "not everyone gets confirmed" twist
[09:15] <sabdfl> if you think we should make that possibility explicit, we should do it sooner rather than later
[09:15] <sabdfl> discuss at CC
[09:15] <mdz> I'll ping asac and remind him to follow up on his application
[09:16] <mdz> I expect pitti and cjwatson will have feedback on his work so far
[09:16] <mdz> in fact, if they're here, I'd be happy to consider him in absentia
[09:16] <ajmitch> could ubuntu-dev please be set to a restricted team now?
[09:17] <mdz> ajmitch: oh, good idea
[09:17] <mjg59> Pitti doesn't seem to be around
[09:17] <mjg59> cjwatson: Ping?
[09:17] <mdz> ajmitch: I'll also update the documentation on UbuntuDevelopment
[09:18] <ajmitch> thanks
[09:18] <ajmitch> & we'll chase up those proposed members on ubuntu-dev
[09:18] <mdz> cjwatson was around a minute ago, but seems to be no longer
[09:19] <mdz> that's all for developer applications.  is there any other business?
[09:19] <sabdfl> ajmitch: really happy to see you guys kicking into action!
[09:19] <mjg59> None from me
[09:19] <Keybuk> just a confirmation; do existing TB members need to re-apply for nomination?
[09:19] <ajmitch> it's good to be organised & kicking universe into shape :)
[09:21] <sabdfl> Keybuk: i don't think so
[09:21] <mdz> Keybuk: I wouldn't expect so
[09:21] <mdz> this is meant to be a fairly stable group
[09:22] <sabdfl> mdz: mostly
[09:22] <sabdfl> mjg59: incidentally, DO you disappear when turned 90 degrees?
[09:22] <mjg59> sabdfl: Depends on how good your eyes are
[09:22] <sabdfl> passed the latest test, but i could see the nurse was being nice about it
[09:22] <mdz> sabdfl: stable in composition, not necessarily in individual psychology
[09:23] <sabdfl> that's what teams are for - makes for a more interesting whiskey collection
[09:23] <sabdfl> ok, thanks all
[09:23] <mdz> yep, sounds like we're done
[09:23] <sabdfl> cheers all!
[09:23] <mdz> actions: mdz to summarize meeting for UWN, mdz to remind asac et al about his core-dev application
[09:24] <mdz> actions: sabdfl to email nominations to mdz
[09:24] <mdz> mdz to create polls, announce confirmation vote
[09:24] <ogra> he left in time :)
[09:24] <mdz> anything else?
[09:24] <mdz> ok, adjourned. thanks all
[09:25] <mdz> (hmm, UWN seems to be dead)
[09:25] <mdz> I'll just mail ubuntu-devel instead
[09:32] <tonyyarusso> mdz: Ya - that's being looked into.
[09:32] <tonyyarusso> Most of the big-time UWN helpers are busy or on vacation, so it stalled.
[09:38] <asac> i am on topic?
[09:38] <Mithrandir> you're slightly late. :-)
[09:39] <asac> didn't know :) ... next time i guess.
[09:40] <asac> mdz: mjg59 sorry .... didn't know i was on topic already
