Seveasawalton__, so yeah, I'm having my doubts about you :-)19:27
hamslaaiseveas: i remember now. the link is on my launchpad profile19:27
awalton__Seveas, hehe, yeah me too now19:27
Seveasawalton__, what's your wikipage19:29
awalton__Seveas, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Awalton. anything I can add there that might be helpful I'd like to know19:30
Seveasawalton__, you're focusing on upstream achievements instead of ubuntu achievement19:31
Seveasthe councils are looking for (evidence of) a sustained and significant contribution to ubuntu. While upstream contributions are of course also ubuntu contributions, councils are looking for more direct contributions19:31
awalton__just not sure really how to document my ubuntu work.. I've mostly just been triaging/forwarding bugs and helping in the forums..19:32
Seveaskudos on gvfs though :)19:32
Seveaslink to your forum profile, explain what you do there, get forum staff to vouch for you19:32
Seveasand do the same for other bugteam members19:33
Seveasyou have 2 days :)19:33
awalton__alright, thanks a bunch19:33
hamslaaiseveas: agenda page link updated to point to wiki page for profile details.19:37
Seveashamslaai, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/EMEA still has the old link19:38
Myrttieeep19:39
Seveashamslaai, and tbh, that page is really thin on info. I don't think you'll be accepted for membership like that. Look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/kelp for instance to see what a wikipage should look like (the way contributions are presented, not the actual contributions)19:39
Myrtti/me looks at Seveas (ö_ö)19:40
ke|p:D19:41
Myrttipliz19:41
SeveasMyrtti, yours is better than hamslaai's but if I didn't know you I'd ask for more19:41
Myrtti/me goes to fiddle19:42
jpdsSeveas: ke|p++19:42
devfilSeveas: and my page? please :D19:42
Syntuxare you spreading blesses on wiki pages?19:43
devfil?19:44
devfillol19:44
Seveasdevfil, I don't like lists of packages on peoples pages. They often make contributions look very small. One or two extra vouches from existing MOTU would have been better. Also, a cheer from the italian newsletter team would be nice19:45
SeveasSyntux, well, people are asking for comments and I'm giving them :)19:45
SeveasLet it be clear that I'm *not* commenting on contributions, just on the pages19:45
devfilSeveas: ok19:45
Seveasgood wikipages make meetings go faster19:47
devfilSeveas: I should remove lists of packages?19:47
SeveasI've seen several wikipages, that make me give an instant +119:47
Seveasdevfil, neh, leave them in there, but try to get those cheers19:47
Myrtti*sigh*19:48
SeveasMyrtti, 'sup?19:48
hamslaaiseveas: ok, try the links now.19:48
MyrttiSeveas: oh nothing, I guess19:48
SyntuxSeveas, thought you were giving Instruments of forgiveness. ;)19:49
SeveasSyntux, neh, I've left the LART at work19:49
devfilSeveas: Salvatore is from Newsletter, it is editing is cheer. Now I'm looking for other MOTU and at 20 I will have some other sponsors from other italian group (I hope)19:49
Syntuxheh :-)19:50
Seveasdevfil, excellent :)19:50
MyrttiI honestly don't know what else to add.19:50
Myrtti:-<19:50
SeveasI'll add a cheer19:51
MyrttiI'll go and whimper in my little corner with my guinea pig19:51
SyntuxSeveas, and mine?19:51
SeveasSyntux, I always find it hard to judge people whose major contributions are advocacy19:51
Seveasadvocacy is very important but hard to measure19:52
SyntuxI agree, it's hard to measure it.19:53
SeveasSyntux, with your wikipage as is (and with no further info), I'd say -1 to your application. I think having more testimonials is necessary if your main contribution is advocacy19:55
SeveasI've seen you in the community for a long time, so I know a -1 isn't justified, but that wikipage does need a bit more info/testimonials imho19:55
Seveasget testimonials from your locoteam members, link to your loco website/(forum?)19:56
SyntuxSeveas, I'm waiting for more people of that kind who can measure advocacy19:56
SyntuxSeveas, I didn't know I can get testimonials from loCo members, though it's exclusive to @ubuntu members so I didn't ask for any.19:57
SeveasSyntux, neh, testimonials are just cheers from people who think you do good work. Testimonials from 'known' people will be valued higher by people who read them (at least that's what I do) but testimonials from others are good as well, especially if you're the first from your loco to become member19:58
hamslaaiseveas: wiki updated, see references heading.19:59
SyntuxSeveas, I see, well if it didn't work today I will hunt for testimonials for sure19:59
Seveashamslaai, I'm afraid that reference means nothing to the council -- it doesn't mention any ubuntu contributions20:00
SyntuxSeveas, from philosophical point of view; it's hard to measure technical efforts too; one of the main factor to consider is the time given and efforts regardless of the type of contribution.20:01
hamslaaiseveas: ok, no train smash, will keep on trucking. cheers20:01
SeveasSyntux, very true, see also my comment about lists of packages I gave earlier20:01
SeveasSyntux, that's why I personally always focus on testimonials from others. Thinks like karma, forum stats etc... are a nice check but testimonials from people I know usually weigh heavier20:02
Seveasof course if I know a candidate (like Myrtti or Pici) I don't need references :)20:03
Myrtti20:03
SeveasMyrtti, that doesn't mean I'll vote +1 :p20:04
Myrtti:-P20:04
Syntuxheh20:04
IulianIs that a heart?20:04
Myrttino lollipops for you then, Seveas :-P20:04

nandmaking simplified computers for elderly people. Oh, and I also happen to be an Ubuntu fan!21:01
nandSo far, my contributions have been a package uploaded to Universe and the implementation of Ubuntu Brainstorm21:01
nand(with the great help of stgraber for testing, administrating, sysadmin-pinging,...).21:01
nandMy plans for the future are mainly around Brainstorm: while some points are quite good, Brainstorm still need some work on several areas.21:01
nandThat's the shorter I could do :)21:01
Seveashow did the brainstorm sessions at UDS go?21:01
nandI was only at the one during FOSScamp21:02
stgraberhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/NicolasDeschildre21:02
Seveaswhat's the opinion of Ubuntu developers on Brainstorm?21:02
Seveas'firehose' or 'source of terrific ideas' or somewhere in between?21:03
nandwell, they basically want some triaging :)21:03
Seveascan't say that's unnecessary :)21:03
nandat the moment, it is not easy to cherry pick the really good ones21:03
jcastroI still have to throw up the brainstorm gobby notes someplace21:03
nandand also there will be some work necessary so that upstream people can easily access their ideas21:04
stgraberjcastro: from UDS or FOSSCamp ?21:04
nandsince 90% of ideas concerns directly upstream!21:04
Seveasnand, that's a useful statistic by itself21:05
nandSeveas: That's just a rough estimate21:05
nandbut a good majority do concerns upstream21:05
SeveasI'm leaning towards a +1. Anyone want to convince me otherwise?21:05
PriceChildnand: where do you see the brainstorm in 6 months time?21:06
phanatic+1 from me as well. great job done with brainstorm.21:06
jcastrostgraber: from both actually, the uds sessions were just a repeat of what we discussed basically.21:06

popeyfor the good work nand has done getting the community involved in brainstorm, +1 from me21:07
nandPriceChild: in 6 months, there will be some more features to categorize ideas (by project, tags), and a project-neutral release21:07
popeylukehasnoname: member applications21:07
Seeker`lukehasnoname: people becoming ubuntu members. It is only members of the board that vote21:07

corenominalHello everyone :) Sorry for the waffle, here goes...21:08
corenominalHello everyone :) My name is Philip Newborough: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PhilipNewborough  I am 33 years old and I live in Lincoln, United Kingdom. I am now a member of the Ubuntu UK LoCo team. I started writing about my Ubuntu related activities on my blog http://crunchbang.org and I have been actively promoting the use of Ubuntu via online marketing campaigns, "A Merry Ubuntu Christmas"  http://tinyurl.com/5pf2yg & "Random Ubuntu Advocacy" h21:08
corenominalttp://tinyurl.com/2m8o2h21:08
corenominalI have also released a remastered version of Ubuntu named CrunchBang Linux  http://crunchbang.org/projects/linux/  The distribution is based around the Openbox window manager and ROX file manager. I hope that by releasing the distro I have encouraged more people to experiment with Ubuntu and alternative software available in the Ubuntu repositories...21:08
corenominalI believe I have much to offer the Ubuntu community. I think my biggest opportunity lies in online marketing and promotion. I have several projects which I would like to begin and I think that becoming an Ubuntu member would enable me maximise my contributions by providing a launchpad for future marketing/promotion efforts.21:08
Seveas(If I appear to be rushing: I am, we have lots of candidates :))21:08
corenominal:D21:08
popeyi am aware of Phils work, so he gets a +1 from me21:09
corenominalthanks popey :)21:09
forumsmatthewI've been reading about CrunchBang... I'm +121:09
PriceChildWhere do I know crunchbang from?21:09
popeyPriceChild: syndicated on planet ubuntu-uk21:10
SeveasMost of the wikipage is about crunchbang and ppa, not about contribs to ubuntu -- or am I reading it wrong?21:10
forumsmatthewPriceChild, perhaps from the beginning of all shell scripts?21:10
corenominalSeveas, you're reading it wrong :P21:11
forumsmatthew#!/bin/bash21:11
Seveascorenominal, then explain :)21:11
corenominalsure, might help if you could ask questions, but hey, maybe you are right, I guess it depends on what/how you evaluate contributions21:12
PriceChildMost of your launchpad karma comes from answers? How're all the bugsquad/universe contributors things going? :)21:13
Seveascorenominal, are the things you've put in your PPA integrated with Ubuntu or are there plans to do so?21:13
corenominalyes, I've just recently been working with a Debian developer to move some of my package from PPA directly to Debian21:14
corenominaland from Debian to Ubuntu21:14
Seveasand are you planning to make crunchbang an official ubuntu derivative like xubuntu?21:14
Seveaskudos for taking the debian route!21:14
corenominalwell, I'm currently working towards building meta packages for CrunchBang21:15
corenominalbut..21:15
corenominalas for official, I can't really say, something I'd need to look into21:15
corenominalbut it would be nice21:15
Seveassounds good21:16
Seveas+1 from me21:16
Seveasstgraber, phanatic PriceChild ?21:16
corenominalit has had lots of good feedback, so I guess there is a need somewhere21:16
Seveascorenominal, I'm definitely going to try it -- a nice working openbox environment would be nice to have21:16
stgraber+1 for packaging and all the distro work21:17
corenominalgood luck :D take heed of the disclaimer ;)21:17
popeyheh21:17
Seveascorenominal, scratch hardware needs no disclaimer21:17
phanatici'm convinced. +1 (and +0.5 for taking the debian route :))21:17
Seveasgood thing about working where I do: an abundance of spare laptops21:17
corenominallol21:17
popey"spare" :)21:18
Seeker`Seveas: how spare? :P21:18
stgrabercorenominal: are you in touch with MOTUs, do you plan to become one ?21:18
corenominalyeah, working with madduck has been quite an eye opener21:18
Seveaspopey, I'd call that flase quoting21:18
SeveasPriceChild, still awake?21:18
PriceChildI am indeedy, just investigating.21:18
SeveasPriceChild, k21:19
SeveasI hoped everybody had read the wikipages in advance -- that helps :)21:19
corenominalI have toyed with MOTU and REVU, but need more time, it's a slow process as I don't always get the time I'd like to work on packaging21:19
PriceChildI'm evil and am going to give a 0 atm I'm afraid.21:19
popeynot evil PriceChild21:20
corenominalbut I enjoy it, it's fun and lots to learn21:20
SeveasPriceChild, not evil at all, everyone can have his opinion21:20
corenominalnp PriceChild21:20
corenominal:)21:20
Seveaswould you care to elaborate a bit?21:20
PriceChildI want to see that ppa going somewhere, and packages turning up in ubuntu or debian, do you have any urls for their progress in debian?21:20
PriceChildbut i guess membership based on those should be through the universe contributors, ignore me about that bit21:21
corenominalsorry, no. Only private emails.21:21
Seveasok, so that's 6+ and one 021:22
Seveasyou still made it, so congratulations :)21:22
SeveasSyntux, you're up!21:22
* Syntux blood pressure 100+21:22
Syntuxwell, Nothing fancy other than my own cynical introduction :d21:22
SyntuxA 28 years old Middle Eastern Linux extremist with a B.A in political science and law. I’m addicted to programming by decision so I’m not looking for a rehab. I do blog and Photograph and in my free time, I’m just a human. Started using Ubuntu since the release of Warty Warthog, Ubuntu solved many of my problems so I'm devoting time to contribute to the community. To me FLOSS is way of living rather than anything else.21:22
SyntuxSorry but It happens that I'm a linux extremist and a Middle Eastern ;)21:22
corenominalthank you everyone :)21:22
Syntuxoh one more thing, currently I'm preparing for UCP exam (scheduled in June) and my main contribution is advocacy and training. (reported around 15 bug on UCP material; happens to be by email since there is no LP for it.) and working on getting a Local mirror of Ubuntu with the National Information Center (the backbone!), helping some computer stores in understand what ubuntu is all about and maybe helping them in getting their hardware certified.21:23

SyntuxUCP bugs were sent to Yanick, Billy and Torsten.21:23
Syntuxforumsmatthew, و عليكم السلام :-)21:23
SeveasI'm going on a -1 for Syntux I'm afraid. I know he's been active but his wikipage shows very little "evidence" of that. I'd like the to be expanded a bit more, with more testimonials and links to achievements. I'm pretty confident Syntux will be a good member but we need to be able to show why we think that21:25
Seveas(see also the chat I had with Syntux before the meeting)21:25
* Syntux pressuretool | grep Thermal -> not ok 90 c21:25
PriceChildAre there any cheerers from your LoCo here?21:26
SyntuxSeveas, I got one more testimonial minutes ago.21:26
forumsmatthewI do see that Syntux is a leader in the Jordon LoCo. Could you elaborate on that a bit? What has the LoCo done, how many members, etc.?21:26
Syntuxforumsmatthew, we have around 10 active members and by members here I mean active and contributers to the team21:27
Syntuxour approval application can tell more https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JordanTeam/ApprovalApplication21:27
popeythis session is more about you than the loco to be fair21:27
Syntuxpopey, I do understand that but I was answering forumsmatthew question.21:28
forumsmatthewOn your Launchpad page you list involvement with translation into Arabic. What specifically have you translated (if anything so far)?21:29

forumsmatthewI would love to give a plus one in the future21:37
stgraberFor me as Seveas said the wiki page gives me no evidence of the work Syntux did and don't get me wrong, I'm sure Syntux did a lot of work. So I'm giving -1 for the moment and wait for him to come back soon.21:37
Seveasok, all votes are counted. Syntux I'm sorry but you'll have to try again later. I can work with you on that wikipage if you want21:37
SeveasMirv, you're up21:37

mantienaphanatic: right, I'm planing to become a MOTU22:07
PriceChildI think when providing lots of evidence about motuish things, ubuntu universe contributors should be the way to go for membership?22:07
SeveasPriceChild, I'm going to agree with that22:08
Seveasthey can judge that better22:08
forumsmatthewshall I call the question?22:10
forumsmatthewwhat say we?22:10
SeveasThat makes it a 0 from me, I think mantiena would be a good member but I'd rather see him take the motu route22:10

mantienaSeveas , forumsmatthew, phanatic : then there are one problem for Lithuanian LoCo team22:11
Seveasmantiena, which problem and why?22:11
forumsmatthewwhat is that?22:11
mantienawe can't have official LoCo team, because there are no U22:11
mantienaUbuntu member in Lithuania22:11
PriceChild-1 from me, would like to see you get recognised by getting these improvements from baltix into ubuntu22:12
Seveasis that really a requirement?22:12
SeveasI think we have several official teams that don't include ubuntu members but I could be wrong22:12
Seveasstgraber, popey: what's your verdict?22:13
sirex`Seveas: LoCo team must have contact person, who must be a ubuntu member.22:13
mantienaAFAIK LoCo team should have a contact person, who is an Ubuntu member22:13
stgraber0 from me22:13
PriceChildSeveas: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved infers it needs ubuntu members22:13
SeveasPriceChild, sirex` thanks22:13
popey022:13
Seveasmantiena, people can become members by doing loco work and translations as well. If you think other people in the loco qualify for those reasons, they should apply for membership22:14
Seveaswe think your application is better judged by the MOTU, so please try to go that route yourself22:14

Styx`Hi, my name is Tomas Žeimys, I'm 25 years old and live in Vilnius, Lithuania. Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Tomas%C5%BDeimys22:15
Styx`My main interests are Ubuntu advocacy and local community management. 3 years ago I've started a website (www.ubuntu.lt) that now holds over 2000 members from Lithuania. Actively involved in organizing local meetings, various events and conferences. Currently I'm working on web based social network utility for OSS users in Lithuania, launching charity project (reuse of old computers that will be powered by (x)ubuntu) and preparing a22:15
Styx` plan for "Ubucon Baltic" (2-3 days event related to Ubuntu and other OSS for people from Baltic region). Main target - to fix Bug #1 at least in Lithuania :)22:15

l3onHello, I'm Leo Iannacone, 22 ( http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LeoIannacone ). I discovered Ubuntu in the far April 2006 (now about 2 years ago). I started to bring the Italian community immediately with the forum and later I started to work for italian wiki importing new guides from the International wiki. In December 2006 I was appointed moderator in italian ubuntu forum and in January 2007 wiki editor by Italian documentation group. Currently, I work mai22:25
l3onnly to italian wiki, where now I'm administrator. In recent months, with help from other administrators (specially AlessioTreglia and MiloCasagrande), we have refactoried the wiki structure, organizing it into Sections to split pages by thematic arguments (it was an hard work!), for see more take a quick look to our Index ( http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Documentazione/Indice ); we have produced new themes for the wiki (Kubuntu - Xubuntu - Edubuntu) and22:25
l3on new macros (an hack of TableOfContents to make it good to look without a dreadful table, and one for managing the compatible releases with the page that you are reading) (see for example http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/AmministrazioneSistema/Grub ). My work is powered by hope that one day Ubuntu will be installed on most of computers, in schools, offices, everywhere. Working constantly to make this happen.22:25
HattoryI would like to sustain Leo's application becouse he's one of the most involved users in the Ubuntu Italian Documentation Team. Its enthusiasm is amazing!22:25
Seveasl3on, can you point me to your userpage on the .it forums?22:26
l3onyes of course -> http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php?action=profile;u=582722:27

Seveasnope :)22:27

quadrisproAfter Dapper was released, I started to contribute to Italian Community growth in different ways, at first giving support in technical boards of the italian forum and in IRC channels, then reporting bugs and writing and reviewing howtos for the Italian wiki.22:33
popeycongrats xivulon22:33
quadrisproNow I'm an official translator, a moderator of Documentation board of Italian forums and administrator of italian wiki, on which I've been working everyday. During this last period my attention is mainly focused on wiki structure refactoring and graphic restyling; in particular I'm proud for the last work which I ended together with Leo Iannacone (another Ubuntu-it wiki administrator), about new macros development.22:33
xivulonthx popey22:34
quadrisproI hope that Ubuntu will reach a wider diffusion and I'm trying to make it a reality, by installing Ubuntu systems on a even growing number of people's laptop and desktop and offering my free support.22:34

pimanxHi all :) My name is Martin Pihl, I'm 27 from Denmark. I candidate to be the only second Dane becoming an Ubuntu member (the other being soren from Canonicals Server Team). Among other things I'm the founder of the Danish support and community forum at http://ubuntudanmark.dk, which I created in 2006, and have been administering since then.22:45
pimanxI'm very active in the Danish LoCo team, and I hope an Ubuntu membership will inspire other Danish users to put efforts into Ubuntu. sbc is here from the Danish LoCo Team. My main focus now and in the near future is Ubuntu in denmark: Work to expand the user base but also engage more new active ubunteros and lay the ground for commercial Ubuntu support and usage.22:45
Seveaske|p, oops, I made a mistake, pimanx is up first, sorry22:45
ke|pno problem22:46
quadrisprogoodbye all22:46
pimanxAs you can see on my wiki page, my main contribution is in the LoCo team and particular on ubuntudanmark.dk which I founded22:47
Seveaspimanx, what's ubuntu-dk.org if ubuntudanmark.dk is the main site?22:47
Myrttiok, since there's no way of getting to my application in the allotted time, I'm going to bed. Nitey everyone22:47
pimanxSeveas, I created this site at a time when the loco team was very inactive22:47
pimanxthats why we have to pages atm22:47
sorenI imagine we'll merge at some point.22:47
* soren runs the ubuntu-dk.org stuff22:48
Seveassoren, what kind of software is it?22:48
sorenSeveas: ubuntu-dk.org? Django, most of it.22:48
pimanxyes, ubuntudanmark primarily runs the forum22:48
SeveasI ask because it looks eeeeeeeerily familiar :)22:48
sorenSeveas: Yeah, I may have borrowed a bit from someone... :D22:48
Seveas:)22:48
Seveassoren, what would you say about pimanx ?22:49
* PriceChild ctrl+u's22:49
sorenI don't have a lot to add, but can certainly verify that pimanx is a very active community member and that ubuntudanmark.dk is considered a very useful ressource for many Danish Ubuntu users.22:49
