forumsmatthewanytime you like :)19:57
PriceChildyeah, nevermind "for my kids"19:57
forumsmatthewthe floor of the platform is about 2 meters off the ground, so "climbing wall" is probably overstating the case, unless you are young or small19:58

munckfishHi sorry I'm late20:10
forumsmatthewgood timing, we were just about to call the meeting20:10
Seveasmunckfish, you're actually the first one to show up and just in time :)20:10
munckfishOh good, I just got home now :S20:10
Seveasstgraber, phanatic PriceChild20:10
Seveaswe've got one!20:10
phanaticgreat :)20:10
Seveasmunckfish, can you introduce yourself in a few lines please?20:11
munckfishSure20:11
munckfishMy contribution has mostly been in getting the PS3 version running again20:12
munckfishI installed gutsy on it first20:12
munckfishthen found out it was dead on Hardy and decided to help out20:12
munckfishColin W, the kernel team and others have been sponsoring patches for me20:12
munckfishX team too. That's about it really.20:13
munckfishWill that do?20:13
PriceChildmunckfish: is there any reason why you decided to go for ubuntu membership rather than ubuntu contributing developer?20:13
munckfishYes20:13
munckfish2 reasons20:13
munckfish1, gouki advised I should do it20:13
munckfish2, reading the wiki, it advised to become a member first, then proceed to MOTU20:14
Seveaswhich page is that? seems to be outdated20:14
munckfishOh, I'll look for it20:14
munckfishunless I misunderstood20:14
Seveasthe 'proper' way to MOTU is via ubuntu contributing developer etc.20:14
stgraberyou can now become an ubuntu member based on your packaging work, then you can become a MOTU. There are now many ways to get Ubuntu membership20:15
munckfishWhich means ... roughly what I've been doing?20:15
Seveasbut I see a problem with that: you're fixing things mostly in main instead of universe :)20:15
stgraberthe local councils are only one way, mainly used when doing something else than packaging work20:15
Seveasmunckfish, roughly but not quite20:15
Seveashowever, I'm quite impressed with the work I see20:15
munckfishSeveas: thx20:15
Seveasmaintaining a port virtually on your own is not easy20:15
munckfishSeveas: but very interesting20:16
Seveaswhat is the contribution you're most proud of?20:16
munckfishand hopefully not solo for the next cycle20:16
stgraberanyway, it also shows quite a lot of QA work outside of simply packaging work so I'm fine with dealing with that application20:16
* PriceChild notes top contributors on https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ps3-port20:16
munckfishSeveas: it's difficult to say, my contributions have really been lots of small fixes which as whole have made it work again20:17
Seveasfair enough20:17
PriceChilduu scottish20:17
munckfishI'm proud of the whole lot, but I'm really proud of having the opportunity to contribute to core core stuff like X and the kernel20:17
Seveas+1 from me, good work and I don't doubt the good work will continue20:18
forumsmatthewI have to say, I'm impressed and feeling really good about this20:18
forumsmatthew+120:18
stgraber+120:18
munckfishPriceChild: no, adopted scottish, I'm from Hampshire/Southampton20:18
PriceChildmunckfish: not that that interests me me more than the real reason you're here!20:18
munckfishPriceChild: :)20:18
PriceChild+1 from me too!20:18
Seveasif he were a real scotsman, would you have said -1? :P20:19
Seveasphanatic, your vote please20:19
phanatic+1 of course. i hope you'll get more help during next cycle!20:19

Seveasend of meeting, see you in a few weeks :)20:21
munckfishAny advice for the optimal route to MOTU from here? I think I need to get some solid time doing new packaging maybe?20:21
PriceChildmunckfish: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU#So%20you%20want%20to%20be%20a%20MOTU?20:21
