pycsupporting users11:09
pycby 2007, the Ubuntu philippine team requested that htier forum be hosted at ubuntuforums11:10
pycso they chosed me as one of their moderators11:10

pycas i can. :)11:11
pyci have been packaging gyachi a yahoo messaging client since 200611:12
pycmade a PPA for its users to download11:12
pycalso made a third party web application, intefacing launchpad, for PPA search11:13
pycthe difference from of launchpad is users can see what packages other users searches11:13
lifelessto the other applicants tonight: please type up your descriptions in advance so you can copy paste11:14
iantolifeless: noted!11:14
pyci'm also involved in testing, i only manage to report only a few bugs though, since dapper :)11:14
pycshould i just copy paste my wiki then?11:15
persiaNo, we can see your wiki :)11:15
pycok :)11:16
amachupyc: are there people here to support you?11:16
Knightlustyey for pyc!11:16
pycheh ;)11:16
lifelesshttp://ppa-search.appspot.com/search?search_key_word=dmraid crashes ?11:17
Belutzamachu, i'm here11:17
pycnope lifeless, its just launchpad was slow at responding ;)11:17
persiapyc, Have you taken any steps to get Gyachi available in the regular repositories?11:18
pycpersia: there is currently an effort in debian iirc11:18
pycwhat else should i say, basically its all in the wiki11:20
amachuKnightlust: are you here for pyc11:20
Knightlustamachu: yes i am11:20
pycand oh, i have also assited ubuntu cafe onwers in the philippines11:21
amachuKnightlust: say some words about pyc11:21
Belutzpyc, what offline activies that you do for ubuntu-ph?11:21
pycBelutz: none really special11:22
pyci mean i met ubuntu users in my locality11:22
Knightlustpyc's great in the forums11:22
pycbut haven't had the time to organize11:22
pycthat's one of my future goals11:23
Belutzpyc, please do that :)11:23
pycyep, :)11:23
pyci also do translations11:24
amachuelky: persia: lifeless: TheMuso: Belutz: lets take up voting11:25
Belutz+1 for me if he keeps his promise to do more offline activities11:25
persiaThere's a bunch of stuff, over a long period of time, but there's something missing for me.  I'm having trouble defining exactly what.11:25
lifelessme too11:26
pychmm11:27
* TheMuso is not sure either./11:27
elkyi'm along the same lines as persia. there's a scattering of most things, but it's hard for me to see the impact.11:27
pycby impact you mean, in my locality?11:27
pycshould i gather more supporters11:27
elkyno, overall.11:28
persiaI think I'd like to see either a focus on something that shows a *lot* of stuff in that area, or more general support from some group (e.g. ubuntu-ph or ubuntu-forums, or ...).11:28
amachupyc probaly created his own page at wiki, april last week, though he has been contributing for quite some time11:28
amachuhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/loell?action=info11:28
pycubuntu-ph is canonical's right?11:28
persiapyc, I don't think so, although canonical may be hosting the domain.11:29
elkynope, it's still on smurf's system11:29
pycin defence i could not participate more particiapation with the site as canonical has not yet grant our request11:29
elkypyc, have you submitted a request to rt@ubuntu.com?11:30
Knightlustelky: yes we have11:30
Knightlusthttps://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=453011:30
lifelessso11:31
lifelessI think your develop activity is good11:31
lifelessthe ppa search is nifty; though I'd never heard of it11:31
pychas, my tech support in the forum not been enough?11:31
pyclifeless: its a third party tool, its got hundreds of visitors a day11:31
lifelesspyc: I can see that its getting used, like I say its nifty but I hadn't heard of it :)11:32
pychttp://www.ubuntugeek.com/where-to-search-ubuntu-personal-package-archives-ppa.html11:32
pyccould you also look at how i answer in the forums?11:33
pycsurely i don't have 10,000 post like laroza11:33
persiapyc, I'm not sure it's accurate to say your forum activity isn't enough (3 posts/day for a few years is considerable), but more that there's no expression of support from others active in the same area saying you're a core part of the team.11:33
elkylifeless, i think what we're missing is the wider community impact. the stuff he's done would probably have more substantial if it was actually having an impact outside the select group who know of it11:34
elkys/have more/be more/11:34
pycalso, i'm not an irce person, i could expressmyself that fully11:34
pycirc person so, see the lag at the question to that of my answers? yeah that shows too?11:35
persiaelky, I'd be just as happy with "key core person for established subgroup" as "significant contributor for everyone", I'm just not quite seeing either.11:35
lifelessthe forums are hard for me to guage11:36
pyccould i gather more user testimonial from the philippine team11:36
elkypersia, yep11:37
persiaYeah.  Let's do it that way.  Get some more testimonials, focusing on some of the areas where you're most active, and come back.11:37
elkypyc, i think that might be the best course of action11:37
lifelesspros: you have a lot of :> on your forums summary, and you have been consistently active. Thats something we look for. cons: while you're packaging stuff to help your region, you don't seem engaged with getting it widely available e.g. through debian11:37
pycits availabe too, in the upstream website11:38
lifelessppa-search is also a little odd, as I can't see how to get the source, but its presumably not a revenue stream for you as it has no adverts that I coul see11:38
pycdo i need to push it in debian myself? if i have my hands tied with testing?11:38
pycwith the project11:38
lifelessyou don't have to do anything; I'm giving you my feedback on what I see11:39
persiapyc, The request isn't that you do that, it's that without having done that, it's hard to count the development work as contributions to Ubuntu.11:39
pyctrue11:40
lifelessI think you're doing a bunch of useful interesting stuff; helping on the forums is great, packaging is great, etc. But it needs a little more follow through for it to be done11:40
persiaSo, there's lots of stuff you might do, and perhaps only documentation would be enough, but we're looking for evidence of more signficant contribution.11:40
pycthough could make the developer email the board as testimonial?11:40
pyccould i?11:40
lifelesse.g. I had a dmraid bug in my new desktop. If I stopped when it worked for me, noone else would benefit.11:40
persiapyc, You could, but putting it on your wiki would be more useful.11:41
persiaAlso, as much as I think it's interesting to explore the reasons for this decision, I also think we're 41 minutes into the meeting, and ought consider the next candidate.11:41
amachupyc: would like to know about your involvement with philippine loco..11:41
elkydo we have other people waiting?11:41
zirodayyep11:41
amachuelky: we do11:41
pycok11:42
iantoYeah :)11:42
KhaaLaye11:42
amachuKnightlust: I hope you are the Team Contact of the LoCo11:42
Knightlustamachu: I am now11:42
amachuKnightlust: you had mentioned really great and just on the forums?11:43
amachuin your endorsement for pyc, what do you mean by it11:44
Knightlustwhat can I say, he's great on the forums, and his user-support for the team's speaks for itself.11:44
amachuKnightlust: being the contact person would like to know from you his other contributions too, if any in your opinion11:45
elkythis has been 45 minutes on the one person, can we please move on?11:46
pycshould i be preparing for next meeting then?11:46
amachuelky: yes..11:46
pycok11:46
TheMuso+0. I agree with persia, lifeless and elky.11:46
elkypyc, that'd be great.11:46
amachuI would give +1, but feel something is missing that binds all his contributions11:47
lifelessduct tape11:47
persiaamachu, That's a good way to phrase it.11:48
elkylifeless, i think sabdfl requested we not do that to the community members any more.11:48
lifelesselky: awww11:48
amachupyc: may be your physical involvement with community, I feel..11:49
amachuthats what I was expecting Knightlust, whether you have been doing something more than that in forums11:50
lifelessso, I have an hour slotted for this11:50
elkyziroday's turn11:50
zirodayHi, I'm Nick and I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper and studying in Singapore. As mentioned on my wikipage (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NickHS) I'm a brainstorm moderator and work closely with my LoCo spreading Ubuntu as well as a couple of other bits and bobs.11:50
zirodayelky: thanks11:50
amachuelky: so we do not have 51% for loell11:50
persiaamachu, Right.11:50
elkyamachu, sadly not at this time.11:50
amachupyc: Keep up the good work. Best wishes for next time11:51
amachuziroday: go ahead11:51
lifelessziroday: +111:51
zirodayamachu: do you want me to repaste what I just said?11:52
amachui noticed11:52
zirodaylifeless: woah, thanks :)11:52
amachuplease continue11:52
zirodaysure, well the wikipage has most of it, brainstorm moderator, involved heavily with my loco, ubuntu terminal and some irc support11:52
zirodayshould I get the people here to support me?11:53
elkyi'm willing to give ziroday a big +1 from the outset. he's been a good force within the singapore local team with events at his uni including but not limited to software freedom day.11:53
persiaziroday, If you have people who haven't already written testimonials on your page, go ahead.11:53
zirodayelky: thanks11:53
zirodaypersia: sure11:53
hyperairziroday++11:53
hyperairhe provides awesome support for ubuntu on irc.11:54
persiaziroday, You seem to do a fair bit with brainstorm and #ubuntu, but less so with Answers.  Any specific reasons for that?11:54
hyperairnot just in #ubuntu-sg, but in #ubuntu, as well as many other loco channels.11:54
zirodaypersia: I've never been very fond of ubuntuforums or answers, as I feel the approach is too impersonal11:54
elkyhe also keeps in touch with the other surrounding asian teams too11:55
* GunbladeIV already wrote something on ziroday's wiki, but +1 from me as he is a big influence in ubuntu-sg loco11:55
zirodaypersia: and I loved the brainstorm philosophy and being a new project it was a nice change11:55
Belutzziroday, what would you do with your ubuntu membership if you're approved?11:55
wickedpuppyas a loco contact for Singapore team , I would also like to second elky in saying ziroday has been one of our most consistent and important members for our team.11:55
zirodayBelutz: besides scream around the house :)? I would most definitely try to get more ubuntu terminals in schools and organizations, many times I'm asked about my affiliation with ubuntu/canonical and if there is anything official11:56
amachuziroday: links in "Contributions to Ubuntu" section of your wiki would make things easier11:56
persiaziroday, Also, you seem to be a contributor of solutions to brainstorm.  How many of those become bugs for implementation?11:56
zirodayamachu: apologies, anything you are looking for in  particular?11:56
amachu"Played a role in the recent Ubuntu Live! talk at the National University of Singapore" - is generic11:57
amachuWhat role you played, would help understanding better..11:57
zirodaypersia: unfortunately very few, its one of the things I would like to fix in brainstorm as the leap from idea to implementation, however for my pet few ideas I do keep a close watch on them11:57
zirodaypersia: i.e. slideshow on  the installer and plymouth amongst others11:57
persiaOn the ideas, or on bugs stemming from the ideas?11:57
Belutzziroday, how active is ubuntu-sg loco?11:57
zirodaypersia: keeping the ideas updated with new information, so yes that would include linking to the bug report11:57
persiaI'm satisfied.  +1 from me.11:58
zirodayamachu: sure, I was there as tech support as well as helping users get ubuntu on there thumbdrives, as usual it didn't run smoothly11:58
zirodayBelutz: not as active as I would of liked it to be, we ran for approved status ~8 months ago and are still working towards that goal11:58
TheMuso+1 also. Great work.11:58
wickedpuppyBelutz, we are active seasonally. we have had SFD and representation in LUGS(Linux User Group of Singapore) for intra distro events and general Opensource events11:59
DaveCosorry, i am late. i am here in support of ziroday11:59
zirodayTheMuso: persia thanks!11:59
iantoJust a quick question, can normal people instead of Ubuntu members give testimonials as well?11:59
DaveCoziroday has helped me (i am a new ubuntu user) with many things, from installing on tricky hardware, to trouble shooting graphics problems. Also, he is nearly allways on IRC, and seems to always find time to help me with Ubuntu, no matter how small the problem. He has not just solve the problem for me, but he has also shown me what he was doing in order for me gain a better knowledge of Ubuntu11:59
hyperairif ziroday becomes an ubuntu member, he'll be ubuntu-sg's first.11:59
hyperairso i'd reckon that yes, normal people can give testimonials.11:59
iantohyperair: Thanks for the response12:00
hyperairnp.12:00
Belutz+1 from me12:00
amachuPlease update the wiki, for me to give +112:01
amachu:-)12:01
zirodayamachu: sure, is there anything you're looking for in particular? I'll add pics and better descriptions to the loco events12:01
Belutzziroday, congratulations :)12:02
amachuziroday: that would do good..12:02
Belutzziroday, more offline events are good :)12:02
zirodayBelutz: yep12:03
amachuso Belutz, persia, elky, persia, lifeless all +1 for ziroday?12:03
elkyyep12:03
Belutzamachu, yup12:03
GunbladeIVw0ot w0ot ziroday12:03
persiaindeed.12:04
amachuWelcome ziroday!12:04
zirodayamachu: thanks!12:04
zirodayand thanks to the board members12:04
amachuKhaaL: your turn, and please go ahead..12:05
KhaaLamachu, thank you12:05
Belutzziroday, hope ubuntu-sg can work together with ubuntu-id and ubuntu-my :)12:05
KhaaLHello all. I don't know if me coming here is a waste of your time since I have no established ubuntu member to speak for me and most of my work has been unrecorded, but I'll give it a shot... beware of incoming text!12:05
zirodayBelutz: definitely, we work somewhat with -my currently, but that's probably a discussion better suited for #ubuntu-locoteams12:05
KhaaLFirst some background... I started with linux as early as RH 6.2 which I got installed thanks to my first linux book by John Maddog Hall (I think). All was good until my external modem got fried by a lightning and I had to fall back to a winmodem, which forced me back to windows for a while. At that time I studied A+ certification by my own, studied electronics in the swedish equivalent of high school and I even worked part-time as a IT techie12:05
lifelessamachu: I have to go; sorry.12:06
Belutzziroday, great :)12:06
KhaaLToday however I neither work in IT field nor do I use RH.I've used ubuntu since 3 years and I'm finishing my social work studies in 3 weeks and I get in contact with a lot of people and organizations that work on a minimal budget - even limited hardware, where the difference between LXDE and XFCE is HUGE.12:06
KhaaLAnd this is what I do mostly, I work on the field and engage people in the ubuntu mentality. Let them try it out with no strings, and with my free support if something goes haywire. I've also written an article that explains the mentality behind FOSS and ubuntu (in swedish) where I hand out to people if they want to gain a deeper understanding, and so far I've managed to get four people this year to use it full time (which has been tricky, eve12:06
amachulifeless: ok. thanks for participating..12:06
amachuRH?12:07
amachuRedhat?12:07
KhaaLexactly :-)12:07
KhaaLBesides that, I do online contributions aswell. I do bugreports and follow them through. I engage in discussions and give support in ubuntu forums. I am engaged in brainstorm when I think of improvement for something. And when I see a wiki page that needs correction/improvement, I do that. I belive in ubuntu and FOSS because I think a contribution there is a contribution to everyone. its philantropy, but on a digital level.12:08
BelutzKhaaL, are you involved in any LoCo?12:08
KhaaLBelutz, no I have not12:08
BelutzKhaaL, this might be a dumb question, but, where are you from? Swedish nationality?12:09
amachuKhaaL: +0 form me this time.. appear you have started doing good.. but need more..12:10
persiaKhaaL, I think you're on entirely the right track, but have a bit farther to go before you get there.  Whether you end up doing lots more in testing, development, advocacy, documentation, or what not is up to you :)12:10
KhaaLBelutz, well i'm iraqi originally, but born in kuwait, and have lived in sweden since -9212:10
elkyi agree with amachu. i strongly advise getting into your loco crowd, they'll help you along heaps.12:10
Belutzyes, involvement in a LoCo would gain a plus from me12:11
TheMusoAgreed. You are on the right track, but probably need a bit more to show that you are making a continued and sustained contribution. +012:11
amachuBelutz: TheMuso: your comments?12:11
BelutzKhaaL, +0 from me this time12:11
amachuKhaaL: Best wishes for the future12:12
KhaaLI understand, thank you for your time.12:12
amachudpm: so its your turn now..12:12
persiaWe hope to see you back in a couple months.12:12
dpmamachu, thanks12:12
dpmMy name is David Planella12:12
dpmI started using Ubuntu in the Hoary release12:12
dpmBack then my main contributions were in the forums and in bug reporting12:13
dpmAfter a while I started getting more and more involved in Ubuntu translations12:13
dpmThis continued involvement lead me to take the responsibility of coordinating the Catalan Translation team (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCatalanTranslators), part of the Catalan Loco12:13
dpmThis task involves documenting and keeping up to date the localized information on the translation process in the wiki, the assignment of tasks and appointment of new members in the team.12:13
dpmAlso forwarding any relevant information from the general ubuntu-translators list to our Catalan translators.12:13
dpmThis hasn't stopped me from doing translation work though. I still translate Ubuntu packages and I'm involved with other upstream translation teams (GNOME, Debian, OO.o) in order to ensure a smooth workflow and communication12:13
dpmI also participate regularly in the discussions on the ubuntu-translators list. As an example of my contributions, I created the Intrepid translation issues page as a summary to keep track of the most relevant localization issues in that release https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslatingUbuntu/IntrepidTranslationIssues.12:13
dpmThis lead other community members to build upon this initiative and continue extending it for the next release https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslatingUbuntu/JauntyTranslationIssues12:14
dpmI recently held an OpenWeek session which I've just realised is not yet on my wiki page -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekJaunty/DemythifyingLaunchpadTranslations12:14
elky+112:14
TheMuso8/c12:14
TheMusowoops12:14
dpmI have also quite recently joined the Community team at Canonical as the Ubuntu Translations Coordinator, where12:14
dpmI will be helping our translations community grow and I'll be working with translation teams to build best practices around translations12:14
dpmWith that in mind, I am currently gathering feedback from the translations community though a survey https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-translators/2009-May/002477.html12:14
dpmThe UDS will also be a great opportunity to meet other translators and hear what they have to say. This time we'll have a solid representation on translations there -> http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-karmic/community-a/12:14
dpmthat was the introduction12:15
persia+1 from me.  Good history in translations, excellent testimonials.  Nice work with answers.12:15
amachuthe contributions are clear +1 from me..12:16
amachuwhats your e-mail id?12:16
TheMuso+1 as well. Great work!12:16
amachuis it possible to get at ubuntu dot com without becoming member?12:17
amachupersia: elky: others: any comments?12:17
elkynope12:17
persiaI think the email address was overly anticipatory, but I'm standing by my earlier +1/12:18
Belutz+1 from me12:18
amachupersia: i understood..12:18
amachudpm: your comments?12:18
franki^hi :)12:19
amachudpm: are you there?12:19
iantofranki^: Hi, in just a moment, its someone else's turn before me ;)12:19
dpmamachu: yes, I'm just slow in typing12:19
franki^ooh, sorry if i interrupted12:19
amachudpm: Welcoming you and keep rocking...12:20
dpmThank you very much to the board for the positive vote!12:20
amachuianto: your turn now12:20
dpmand for your time, I'm really looking forward to keep translations rocking12:20
Belutzdpm, congratulations :)12:20
iantoHello my name is Christopher Swift and I am from Wales (I can't attend the EMEA board tonight). I am currently 17 years of age and I have been involved in Ubuntu since 2006 (Dapper).12:20
iantoI have actively been involved in the UK LoCo over the past year attending events such as the Global Bugjam (Feb '09) in London and helping in part to transcribe the Ubuntu-UK podcast, I wrote an article in February regarding the uupc and how to transcribe for it (http://ubuntu-uk.org/bugjam09/). I have also spent some time on packaging and training to become a MOTU (one of my dreams after I finalise Ubuntu-Cym) as you can see some of the packages that I hav12:21
iantoOver the past 2 months I have really been focusing my work on Ubuntu Cymru (Cymru is Wales in Welsh), a LoCo group for Wales https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WelshTeam . I have been the acting Point of Contact from the start of the group and on Sunday we will be getting the results of the election (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WelshTeam/Election).12:21
iantoFor Ubuntu Cymru I have been emailing many different persons and groups to help further the advancement of our current progress as a team. One of my public examples can be found here: https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=5280 . I have also been trying to get a Welsh subforum (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1113818) as well as a website (I have had the -EU guys register ubuntu-cym.org but I am still awaiting a DNS key). I am very active and12:21
iantoSome other contributions that I have made are translations in launchpad in Welsh & British English and also I help bug-triage from time-to-time.12:21
dpmamachu: regarding on the e-mail question, it was a technical mistake from my part12:21
iantoLocally I am known as an Ubuntu and OSS advocate who has helped with the Ubuntu installation of Welsh users in the region of 20 users this month alone. I am always available at any time to offer support and installation solutions for free to any user who requests it either locally, over the telephone, email or on IRC. Just 30 minutes ago I finished writing a letter to one of the -cym members who wanted to have a disc and a few Ubuntu stickers (a lot of whic12:21
iantoIf there are any further questions, then please just ask!12:21
amachudpm: understood and my best wishes..12:21
iantoI have with me franki^ & brobostigon who wish to give a testimonial (franki just updated my wiki with one)12:21
iantoNeither of whom are Ubuntu members but are involved in the community ^12:23
brobostigonwell, ianto helps alot of people with ubuntu, both in wales and in the whole of the uk, but i think te thing that stands out for me, is setting the welsh loco.12:24
iantobrobostigon: Thanks for the comment :)12:24
brobostigonits alot of hard work,12:25
Belutzianto, what would you do with your ubuntu membership if you're approved?12:25
iantoBelutz: I understand that as an Ubuntu member I have rights to business/contact cards with Ubuntu on it. This way I can hand out cards to people about the Welsh LoCo team without breaking any trademarks12:25
Belutzianto, are there any offline activies that you do to establish Welsh LoCo?12:26
iantoBelutz: Yeah, we've had a release party and I am always advocating to people in real life about Ubuntu. I'm currently thinking of setting up a bugjam in Wales at the moment and will carry the notion forward in our next meeting (which will be organised after Sunday's results)12:27
elkyianto, what brings you all the way out of your own time zone to this membership board?12:28
iantoelky: I have work at 9pm GMT and can't attend the meeting for the EMEA12:28
elkywhere do you work?12:28
iantoI work in a hardware store, B&Q night-shift12:29
elkycomputer hardware?12:29
Belutzianto, if you're not approved today, would it make it hard to establish the LoCo?12:29
iantoNo, gardening and building and home-improvement stuff12:29
iantoBelutz: It wouldn't make it hard but I'm hoping the card permissions will make it easier to distribute info via word of mouth12:30
amachuhow many other than you and darius are with Welsh team12:31
iantoamachu: There are roughly 25 in launchpad and 15 in IRC12:32
Belutzianto, i would prefer if you come back again after you establish the LoCo12:33
elkyit's a good start, but im not convinced yet. +012:33
iantoBelutz: What do you recommend that needs to be done?12:34
amachuianto: well I feel he is doing good.. +1 considering the overall activities..12:34
TheMusoNeither am I. I'd like to knwo what packages you are working on for one.12:34
amachupersia: TheMuso ?12:34
persiaI'm in agreement here.  I'd like to either see Ubuntu Cymru be started, or more somewhere else.12:34
persia(+0)12:34
TheMuso+0 also12:34
amachuianto: the translations section could give more links in proof of it12:35
Belutzianto, gather more supporters, create a long term planning for the loco, and make more offline activities to promote ubuntu12:36
iantoWhat do you mean by "be started"? I've been waiting over 2 months for Canonical sysadmins to reply to my ticket in RT ;/, we have done a lot since then. What do you want dome? :)12:36
amachuand does Wales has a separate language? the wiki of Welsh Team says so.. any any plans of working for it?12:36
elkyianto, i dont want to see your temper.12:37
persiaI'm confused.  I thought LoCo officialness was granted by the LoCo council.  If it's just the case of the Canonical Sysadmins not having done something, I'd by +1.12:37
iantoamachu: Wales sure does have a separate language, Welsh :). https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/~chris is some of translations work :)12:37
iantoelky: I'm sorry, I didn't realise that I was being aggressive :-/12:37
elkyianto, i see one word in welsh12:37
amachuianto: they would like to see Welsh Team under Approved LoCo Teams12:37
iantoamachu: Ah right OK then, that takes lots of months of work :)12:38
iantoelky: If you could hold on for one moment, I'll find my Welsh translations (they aren't all appearing in that linked I've shown)12:38
amachuianto: Keep up the good work and are there people from UK-LoCo to support you12:39
iantoamachu: brobostigon is from the UK LoCo and franki^ is a member of both -cym and -uk12:39
amachuianto: ok. I wish you all the best next time around.12:39
Belutzianto, keep up the good work, hope to see ubuntu-cym to be listed in approved LoCo team12:40
iantoamachu: OK then thanks :)12:40
amachuianto: Best wishes for Welsh Team too..12:40
iantoI'm having troubles on that link for you elky, I've translated a bit of Ubuntu and a lot of the Gnome-Do project into Welsh, I've switched around usernames so it's playing up on the db12:41
iantoBut I guess it's an overall +0 anyway? :)12:41
amachuBelutz: elky: TheMuso: On the new member to the Board, I would like to have you opinion on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZhengPengHou12:42
persiaLet's put that formally on the agenda, if we're going to discuss it here.  freeflying isn't here to answer questions.12:43
TheMusoagreed. I am not phased either way actually.12:43
amachupersia: thats fine12:44
elkyit's only polite to give him the opportunity to be here if we're discussing in public.12:44

coffeedudemathiaz, where does the MIT krb5 1.7 packaging fall in this?16:07
mathiaz[TOPIC] MIT krb5 1.716:07
MootBotNew Topic:  MIT krb5 1.716:07
mathiazcoffeedude: so krb5 1.7 has been synced from debian16:08
coffeedudemathiaz, but is still in beta correct?16:08
mathiazcoffeedude: yes16:08
mathiazcoffeedude: 1.7 is still in beta according to upstream16:08
mathiazcoffeedude: debian has moved 1.7 to unstable though16:08
mathiazthe libkrb53 transition has started in karmic16:08
coffeedudemathiaz, I can start looking at local patches for likewise-open to work against the 1.7 code but can't officially move to it until it is released.16:09
mathiazfor now we're not doing anything special - we're just relying on the debian autoimport to rebuild the packages16:09
mathiazcoffeedude: understood.16:09
coffeedudemathiaz, so an 'apt-get install libkrb53' in karmix will get you 1.7 though correct?16:09
mathiazcoffeedude: we can talk with the MIT devs about their plan for 1.716:09
coffeedudes/karmix/karmic/16:09
mathiazcoffeedude: nope - libkrb53 is no longer there16:10
mathiazcoffeedude: libkrb5-4 is the new package name IIRC16:10
coffeedudemathiaz, Ahh....ok.  But that's what you get from 'apt-get install i-want-the-krb5-client-libs-pkg-name'16:10
coffeedudemathiaz, that's all I needed to know I think.16:10
=== dendrobates_ is now known as dendrobates
mathiazcoffeedude: you want libkrb5-316:11
mathiazcoffeedude: libkrb53 is still in karmic because some packages are still depending on it16:11
mathiazcoffeedude: however libkrb53 will disappear from karmic once the transition is completed16:12
coffeedudemathiaz, understood.16:12
* nealmcb is surprised to see that single-des seems to still be supported by default for the previous release of kerberos16:13
mathiazgreat - the MIT devs will be at UDS - so we can talk to them about their release plan16:13
mathiazanything else related to krb7 1.7?16:13

mathiazdendrobates: anything to say on this topic?16:18
dendrobatesmathiaz: this UDS will be a little different.16:18
dendrobateswe have 2 session rooms and a break out room16:18
dendrobatesso that means twice as many sessions.16:18
dendrobatesI have just received notice, that they will be randomizing the rooms.16:19
sorenHahah!16:19
dendrobatesso, we will not just get to sit in the same room, and it may be a little complicated figuring out where to go.16:19

dendrobatessoren: I'm not kidding.16:20
ttxsommer: like a good sniper :)16:20
zulrandomizing?16:20
ttxzul: you have to solve a riddle to get to the right room.16:21
* mathiaz thinks that will help to get some physical exercise done during the summit16:21
dendrobateszul:  yes, that;s when things change in an unpredictable way.16:21
nijabazul: and it prevents people from falling asleep too long16:21
zulttx: like monty python and the holy grail?16:21

kirklandit's a great list of sessions so far!16:28
mathiazthere are some free slots left16:29
ttxkirkland: the server rooms have some of the busiest schedule around.16:29

kirklandmathiaz: I thought I'd mention to this group that screen-profiles has been renamed to 'byobu'16:41
kirklandmathiaz: thanks to this group for all the feedback given during screen-profiles-1.x cycle, here's to an even better byobu-2.0 :-)16:42
mathiazkirkland: awesome - how did you find the new name?16:43
coffeedude"bring your own bottled ubuntu" ?16:44
ttxcoffeedude: almost16:44
gourgikirkland i love byobu, i'm gonna translate it in greek soon.16:44
nijababyobu is an ancient japenese term....16:44
kirklandmathiaz: nijaba is right!16:44
kirklandit's a japanese term for elegant folding room dividers, aka folding screens16:45
gourgikirkland also server-guide needs update about byobu http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/screen-profiles.html16:45
kirklandi think this is appropriate, since this is really just a fancier frontend to screen itself16:45
kirklandgourgi: thanks a lot!  i'm hoping very much to focus on internationalization of byobu for Karmic16:45
kirklandthis will require help from all you non-english speakers :-)16:45
gourgikirkland i know, i follow your ppa and blog pretty often16:46

andresmujica1let's put our first proposed topic17:02
andresmujica1before that the proposed agenda is here17:02
andresmujica1https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Meeting17:02
* pedro_ looking17:02
andresmujica1[TOPIC] Rationale behind this Meeting -- andresmujica17:03
MootBotNew Topic:  Rationale behind this Meeting -- andresmujica17:03
andresmujica1Some weeks ago an email wass sent to bugsquad/bugcontrol mailing list proposing a formal meeting for bugsquad members17:03
andresmujica1the main objective for this meeting is to improve our triaging duties, help us each other, identifying some needed tasks, and everything that you may consider would benefit us as a team17:04
andresmujica1so i wonder what the members think about this?17:05
andresmujica1why are the expectations? and thoughts?17:05
andresmujica1s/why/which/17:05
hggdhpresonally, I consider it a good idea -- not only for -control, but for any other triager that wants to get involved in triaging17:06
pedro_I think it's a great way to improve the communication of the bugsquad itself, people can come to here and ask for help, be more involved with the team, etc17:06
txwikinger_work+117:07
andresmujica1ohh, yes this is for every bugsquad member, even if they aren't member yet, this would be a great introduction i believe.17:07
hggdheven with the wiki, there are always questions on procedure, and they could be if not addressed here, at least discussed17:07
pedro_so it's going to be a monthly meeting?17:07
andresmujica1not only control, but one of the ideas is to help introduce to the team new members.17:07
bdmurrayI think some issues should have a wider audience, perhaps the mailing list, than just this meeting though.17:07
andresmujica1the initial propose was to held it monthly..17:08
andresmujica1bdmurray: you believe this can overlap with mailing list or idle time at the channel??17:08
bdmurrayI just think that due to the wide variety of time zones that bug squad members inhabit some issues are best discussed on the mailing list as opposed in a meeting a specific time that not everyone may be able to attend.17:10
hggdhbdmurray, I agree -- the meeting is not enough. Overlapping with idle time in #ubuntu-bugs does not help, if the pieces of userful information are spread through time17:10
andresmujica1yea i believe that too.  Maybe we should focus on certain topics that can be addressed here17:11
andresmujica1i wonder, as you had formal meetings in the past, why they're not active anymore?17:11
thekornmy (very) personal opinion is: don't start yet another meeting, why not using the QA meeting on wednesday for discussions around the bugsquad,17:12
bdmurrayThe QA meeting usually ends up taking most of the time alloted for it.17:13
thekornwe could even add a bi-weekly or monthly topic to the agend for bugsquad topics17:13
andresmujica1hmm that could be a good idea.17:13
bdmurrayWhen looking at each topic I think it is important to evaluate the utility of discussing it in a meeting versus on the mailing list.17:14
charlie-tcaIf another meeting needs to be held, it should be kept within the allotted time.17:14
hggdhOK. I propose we finish this item on the mailing list; and move on17:16
andresmujica1OK.17:16
hggdhotherwise we will use all time to discuss if we are, or are not to have meetings17:16
andresmujica1But this item is important as it would determine if we are going to stablish a regular meeting or not.17:16
thekorngood idea17:16
andresmujica1yes.17:16
bdmurrayWhy don't we try to evaluate the appropriateness of each topic as they come up?17:17
hggdh+117:17
andresmujica1+117:17
andresmujica1ok so let's move with next topic.17:17
andresmujica1everyone agree?17:17
pedro_yeah, let's go on17:18
hggdhandresmujica1, you are the chair ;-)17:18
andresmujica1[TOPIC] New bug trends identified by triagers17:18
MootBotNew Topic:  New bug trends identified by triagers17:18
andresmujica1The idea to propose this topic is that as we are A LOT of triagers17:19
andresmujica1some of them had found some bug trends...17:19
andresmujica1for example17:19
andresmujica1as soon as Intrepid went out, cheese had a regression due to uvcvideo,17:19
andresmujica1and a lot of people were affected17:19
andresmujica1another example is X freeze bugs..17:20
andresmujica1so i believe that when a triager believes it has found some big issue, it can be discussed here to take apropiate measurements..17:20
andresmujica1don't know what you think?17:21
pace_t_zulusorry i'm late, is this the BugSquad meeting?17:21
hacktickme too...17:21
andresmujica1pace_t_zulu: yes it is, welcome!17:21
bdmurraySo this is a topic that may be best for the mailing list since more triagers will be able to comment on / act on the trend.17:21
azimoutpace_t_zulu: yes it is17:21
hacktickhello everyone17:21
pace_t_zuluhello everyone, my name is John Haitas17:21
hggdhhum. I think that if a trend is perceived, the ML is the fastest way to get it out17:21
azimoutandresmujica1: how would such a trend be discussed "here", if these meetings will be monthly?17:21
pace_t_zuluapologies for my tardiness.... i will sit back and listen17:22
pedro_if they found something that could be big , that should be raised on the ML, right?17:22
pedro_hggdh: +117:22
andresmujica1yes, you're absolutely right.  So maybe we need more ML for this kind of issues?17:22
hggdhbut we *could* have a wiki showing current trends17:22
andresmujica1have we ever do that?17:22
pedro_could we adopt what bdmurray said and send this to the ML rather?17:22
micahgwiki, or could maybe a section of brainstorm or something similar?17:22
azimoutwiki sounds good...17:23
bdmurrayChecking the wiki requires work on readers parts while an e-mail to the mailing list with show in their inbox17:23
andresmujica1yeap.. if it's a trend we need faster reaction...17:23
micahgpeople can subscribe to the wiki page17:23
charlie-tcaThis needs to be on the mailing list so action can happen fast enough17:23
bdmurrayI'd propose summarizing the trend in the mailing list message and document it at a wiki page17:24
andresmujica1OK.17:24
hggdhthe ML should always be used to communicate a trend; the wiki can be used just as a consolidation17:24
hggdhbdmurray, +1 (you *are* a fast typist ;-)17:24
andresmujica1and we can have a consolidation page for each release cycle ?17:24
charlie-tcaAgreed. Discussion should happen at mailing list level17:24
hggdhwe can17:24
pedro_andresmujica1: that'd be ideal17:25
bdmurrayI do think having a wiki page with infamous bugs for a release would be quite useful.17:25

pace_t_zulu+117:26
azimouthow about automating this functionality in launchpad?17:26
azimoutor is it already there?17:26
hggdhazimout, the idea is good, but this is a complex thing to get.17:26
azimoutsomething like "bugs with most activity in the past 7 days"17:26
bdmurrayazimout: Those usually end up already being known to the development team17:27
hggdher, packages with the most bugs would be better17:27
azimoutor "bugs with the most duplicates added in the past 7 days"17:27
azimouthggdh: with the most *new* bugs, you mean?17:27
bdmurraywrt bugs with the most duplicates this report may be helpful - http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/launchpad-database/bugs-with-most-duplicates.html17:28
hggdhyes, for example. But I think this has to be more carefully considered, and it all falls into the wiki page bdmurray suggested17:28
andresmujica1well, but for the topic discussed, i believe that our work as team member is to report at the ML the trend identified, and then with the existing reports and experience of the people here we can confirm it17:29
andresmujica1to take the actions needed.17:29
hggdh+1. Layout of  wiki page should be discussed off-meeting, though17:30

andresmujica1next topic then,17:32
andresmujica1[TOPIC] Bugs that need attention/help/mentoring17:32
MootBotNew Topic:  Bugs that need attention/help/mentoring17:32
andresmujica1the discussion maybe would be similar to the previous one?17:32
bdmurrayIf you mean triage mentoring, like what should I do with bug X then again I think asking the question on the mailing list may be best.17:33
thekornI think we have two ways for this bugs ask in #ubuntu-bugs or ask on the ML17:33
bdmurrayThis might also motivate other new triagers to ask questions if these types of questions are being asked on it.17:33
hggdhdidn 't we reopen mentoring for triage?17:34
bdmurrayhggdh: Do you mean the mentoring thing in Launchapd?17:34
hggdhbdmurray, yes17:34
thekorngreat idea17:34
thekornwe would be the first team using it ;)17:35
andresmujica1:)17:35
bdmurrayThat's really more for fixing bugs than for triaging bugs.  Additionally, if I can mentor someone triaging bugs I can usually do the triaging faster than waiting for someone else.17:35
bdmurrayBecause the amount of time it takes to triage is usually significantly less than the time it takes to fix a bug.17:35
micahgwell, I've had great help from the #ubuntu-bugs channel and hddgh in particular in learning how to triage17:36
hggdhwell, yes. But this is a way for passing knowledge. I have been doing a lot if it lately17:36
andresmujica1that's right, however maybe we can somehow help new members with mentoring.. so they can triage more effectively the bugs17:36
micahgand I've been able to triage about 100 bugs since I started about 2 weeks ago17:36
bdmurrayI think the right way to approach this is having people asking to help rather than looking at a bug and offering to help with it.17:36
micahgmentoring is a great help17:36
azimoutcan someone please paste the link to mentoring in LP?17:37
hggdhprehaps we should stress the -bugs as a channel for that17:37
bdmurrayIf I'm already looking at the bug I might as well work on it.17:37
hggdh(although this *is* the idea behind it)17:37
azimouti wanted to remind everyone that any advice on mentoring should also be added to the wiki, to avoid repeated questions17:38
hggdhbdmurray, I agree, and most of the times I am itching to get it done. But by leaving the work to the new triager, I am sure I end up helping more. But it *does* take much longer17:38
micahgit's the same with any training though17:38
andresmujica1mentoring as a way to get more bugs effectively triaged17:38
micahginitially you can do it faster yourself17:38
bdmurrayAnd this is why I think we should promote people asking questions about the bugs they are looking at or find.17:38
showard_in my opinion, mentoring is helpful telling new people the tricks on how to triage efficiently and finding the bugs with highest impact. Wiki and -bugs can help single bugs17:38
micahgbut eventually you have more hands to help17:38
azimoutnever mind: https://help.launchpad.net/Teams/Mentoring17:38
hggdhso. To summarise: do we do mentoring, or not?17:39
bdmurrayI think mentoring is a valuable thing but marking bugs as mentoring offered is not.17:39
andresmujica1ok, so the mentoring model applyable here is at the channel17:39
micahg+1 bdmurray17:39
micahgexcept for fixing bugs as bdmurray mentioned in the beginning17:40

txwikinger_work+117:40
andresmujica1ok17:40
andresmujica1everyone should be a mentor or we should distinguish them?17:40
pedro_I've created a page some time ago https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Mentors17:41
bencrisfordwe could organise it like the MOTU do?17:41
=== fader is now known as fader|lunch
pedro_where everybody on the bugcontrol team can add their self if they are willing to mentor someone17:41
bdmurrayPutting irc nicks on that wiki page might help too17:42
hggdhthis will imply that a triager can target you on a question. So, please only put your name/nick there if you are willing to answer17:42
bdmurrayWe could also contact the bugcontrol mailing list for mentors.17:42
thewrathnot spamming lol17:42
hggdhbdmurray, good idea17:43
pedro_that'd be nice, yes17:43
pace_t_zuluI think I would do well to have a Mentor17:43
pace_t_zuluSo that I can be more effective triaging17:43
andresmujica1so the idea for mentoring  would be: answering questions on -bugs or on the mailinglist and put irc nicks at the wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad/Mentors17:44
andresmujica1ok, next topic17:44
bdmurrayand contact the bug control mailing list for ments17:45
andresmujica1right!17:45
andresmujica1[TOPIC] Open Discussions -- bcurtiswx17:45
MootBotNew Topic:  Open Discussions -- bcurtiswx17:45
hggdhwell, bcurtiswx is note here. Anyone willing please chime in17:46
andresmujica1well. We've covered a pair of topics, and they're probably better handled at the ML, however there are still some topics that could get into this format17:46
andresmujica1and as far as i can see17:47
bdmurrayOne thing I'm curious to know is how people attending UDS can help out the Bug Squad.17:47
andresmujica1one big conclusion is that we need to use a lot more the ML.17:47
hggdhbdmurray, what do you mean?17:47
hggdhhum. Better debugging instructions for more packages, for starters17:48
bdmurrayhggdh: I mean since I'm going there, is there anything I can find out for people?  In terms of having hallway conversations with developers or Launchpad people.17:48
hggdhyes -- we need to beef up the debugging procedures17:49
micahg+1 hggdh17:49
hggdhwe only have a handfull of packages nowadays17:49
andresmujica1which ones from the bugsquad would attend to UDS ?17:49
azimout+1 hggdh17:49
andresmujica1ok, we've got 10 more minutes.17:50
andresmujica1so should we have monthly meetings for the bugsquad team?17:50
azimoutlet's do lp improvements then17:51
hggdhbdmurray, one thing to get there is if we could have something like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/DebuginfoFS17:51
bdmurrayI'll send an e-mail to the bugsquad regarding how UDS attendees can help.17:51
andresmujica1ok.17:52
micahgwe've got something like that17:52
micahghttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures17:52
hggdhsounds like once-a-month is not bad. We can revisit it on the ML17:52
hggdhmicahg, yes, but there are many more packages than what we currently provide there17:52
micahgindeed17:52
hggdh(and we *did* get something done here, so it was worth it)17:53
andresmujica1yes.17:53
andresmujica1i do believe that too17:53
andresmujica1we should make a vote?17:53
bdmurrayI thought I saw that SUSE had a wiki page with some debugging procedures for various packages that we might look at17:54
hggdhbdmurray, will look at it17:54
bdmurrayhttp://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports17:54
MootBotLINK received:  http://en.opensuse.org/Submitting_Bug_Reports17:54
bdmurrayAnd of course looking at upstream project pages might be useful17:54

azimout+117:56
andresmujica1so, i believe we should streamline the topics for this meeting so they don't clash with ML and -bugs and get useful for this format.  I wonder of the proposed topics listed at the wiki,  which ones do you believe that  we must discuss next meeting?17:57
mib_u03jo9xa+117:57
azimoutbut, we didn't do the lp improvements part :-(17:57
charlie-tcaNor is the person that proposed it here.17:57
andresmujica1:(  we need lp improvements :) but is OK if we let that topic for next meeting? or anyone wants to move to our channel?17:57
charlie-tcaIs it real important?17:58

BUGabundoIn terms of my future with Ubuntu , I haven't stop a bit, and aint planing to. In terms of near future, I plan to keep at what I'm doing now, in a better way. Helping testing, triaging, providing new and current users with support and information; to do what I've been trying to do for this past 18 months: to be a buffer between Devel World and User Land21:14

popeyBUGabundo: an issue has been raised privately with me about your application, regarding your online activities towards other members of the community, specifically female ubuntu members. Do you have anything to say about that.21:17
BUGabundoI don't like to just be a number on LP karma, so shoot any questions21:17

macofrom what others have said in #u-w it seems like pointing him to the "HowTo Encourage Women in Linux" did result in a change of attitude21:19

BUGabundogood luck Kmos21:25
KmosBUGabundo: thank you21:25
KmosI'm Marco Rodrigues and I was born at Leverkusen - Germany. Currently I live Portugal and I've been an Ubuntu Fan / Promoter / Contributor since Breezy release.21:25
KmosI've done the icon for computer janitor (computer-janitor-gtk package), because I like to do some artwork sometimes, but most programming.21:25
SeveasLP is wonky today :/21:25
KmosI participate currently in Debian and have some problems long time ago with my MOTU application and some MOTU members because I didn't like to wait much (times are different now and I learned a lot from these days).21:26
ScottKThat's not exactly it.21:26
KmosNow I want to go smoothly with it, but for now I just want to be a simple Ubuntu member.21:26
ScottKHis involvement in MOTU was disruptive and destructive.21:26
Seveasthe testimonials on your wikipage have not been updated since that period, leading me to think that not much has changed21:27
Kmosand learn more from MOTU community before try it again21:27
ScottKSufficiently so that he is (AFAIK) the only person ever to be asked not to contribute to Ubuntu development.21:27
forumsmatthewwow21:27
BUGabundowow21:28
KmosScottK: exactly, and asked by core-dev and others motu's to try again21:28
ScottKKmos: Who and where's the record of this?21:28
rockstarIn defense of Kmos, he's been spearheading the packaging of an upstream app that I work on, and has been quite helpful.  I'm sure that, with some guidance, he could be a great asset.21:28
SeveasKmos, I know ScottK may be overreacting here but I definitely need to see more evidence of good behavior before considering your application21:28
KmosScottK: you could ask dholbach and persia21:28
ScottKKmos: You also tried and got caught trying to evade the ban by making new accounts in LP21:28
ScottKI'm not reacting, I'm describing.21:29
KmosScottK: you need to prove that21:29
SeveasKmos, also, if you are going to contributing mostly in packaging-land you really must go the MOTU route to membership. Given your history in packaging-land, we would be *very* uncomfortable approving you21:29
Kmosbecause I didn't create anything until today21:30
nixternalhi21:30
ScottKKmos: The MOTU Council already proved it to my satisfaction21:30
SeveasKmos, no, I'm afraid it is you who will need to prove improvement before being accepted back in the development community21:30
forumsmatthewSeveas, agreed21:30
KmosSeveas: I just want to be a simple ubuntu member21:30
forumsmatthewI'm going to have to -121:30
KmosSeveas: if I can't be that, I also can never be accepted in MOTU21:31
SeveasKmos, then I want to see on  your wiipage how you contribute to Ubuntu outside development-land, there is no evidence whatsoever on such activities21:31
popeybased on testimonials, I'm -121:31
Seveasphanatic, ?21:31
KmosSeveas: debian has that evidences21:31
=== kenvandine1 is now known as kenvandine
Kmosbut I'm ok with it21:32
KmosScottK: you need to tell me that proves about my second LP account.21:33
SeveasKmos, I heard the debian-games team also banned you from their team, so saying that you contribute to debian sounds fishy to me.21:33
KmosSeveas: my launchpad account has that evidences too21:33
ScottKKmos: It was the conclusion of the MOTU Council that you had one.  It's between you and them if they were wrong.  I know who's word I accept.21:33
phanaticif i remember well, we already discussed your membership application here, and nothing has really changed, so i'm also -121:33
nixternalI am a member of the MC, as well as geser. Kmos I would prefer we did not bring up dirty laundry at this time21:33
KmosSeveas: yes.. that was in the same time of MOTU application21:33
SeveasAnyway, based on all this, I am definitely -1. You will need to show and document a lot of improvement before being accepted as member. If you don't want to go the motu route, you will also need to show non-packaging activity.21:34
KmosSeveas: I'm not doing any ubuntu development, so no packaging activity21:34
SeveasAnd if I counted correct that's 4 times -1, so we will need to move on to the next candidate21:34
forumsmatthewagreed, who's next?21:34
Kmosok21:34
Seveasprimes2h, you're up!21:34
primes2hMy name is Sergio Zanchetta and I started using Ubuntu in the Breezy Badger 5.10 release.21:35
primes2hI signed up in Launchpad on June 2006 and my main contribution since then is reporting and triaging bugs, doing translations and some helping work in "Answers".21:35
primes2hI usually focus on package translations as well as Ubuntu/Xubuntu documentation and Package Descriptions translations/review.21:35
primes2hAbout bugs, among other things, I helped kernel team triaging/closing out EOL release kernel bugs (all the Edgy and Gusty ones, some Feisty one).21:35

BslBryanAh, okay.21:49
SeveasBslBryan, but go ahead21:49
BslBryanAll right. :-)21:49
BslBryanI haven't done much work in terms of Launchpad, but on the Ubuntu forums I am quite active.21:49
BslBryanFor those who haven't seen my wiki page, I have helped numerous people with beginning to advanced problems, providing advice, workarounds, and solutions.21:49
BslBryanI have also contributed in the way of art.  I have started up a GUI customization project, Infinity, but other than that I am part of no official project.21:50
BslBryanIt could be very simple for me to join numerous projects, however, as a Spanish/English translator.21:50
BslBryanMost of what I have contributed so far has been available exclusively on the forums, but Launchpad will be of great immediate future use.21:50
BslBryanAs you can see, I have no testimonials on my wiki page.21:50
BslBryanI believe that the reason for this is because I am relatively new to all of these accounts (Launchpad, and even the forums).21:50
BslBryanMy argument is that, although I have only recently started sharing my help, I have already helped a large amount of people in need.21:50
forumsmatthewhttp://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=79701021:50
BslBryanAlso, if you're wondering why I simply didn't post a call for testimonials on the forums, considering that's where my work has been shared so far, I did.21:51
Seveasforumsmatthew, thanks21:51
forumsmatthewI see you joined the forums two months ago21:51
BslBryanIt's just that one day I might like to be a member of the forum's staff, perhaps, and so must not break the rules, (such as posting a call for testimonials in the "General Help" section.) therefore I posted in an off-topic section, which nobody really paid attention to. :-)21:51
BslBryanYes.21:51
BslBryanPlease, view my statistics.21:51
forumsmatthewhttp://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=59341241 for his recent posts21:52
SeveasBslBryan, for ubuntu membership we require a significant and sustained contribution to Ubuntu and/or its community. 294 posts on the forums and no testimonials from other community members doesn't cut it for me.21:52
BslBryanI understand.21:52
BslBryanBefore a -1, however/21:52
BslBryanmay I argue a certain point?21:52
popeyurlfail forumsmatthew21:52
forumsmatthewI'm going to have to agree. I think you are off to a good start, but that's what it is21:52
Seveasforumsmatthew, vbulletin says no matches21:52
forumsmatthewsorry, popey21:52
SeveasBslBryan, sure go ahead21:52
BslBryanThank you. :-)21:52
BslBryanAs I've said, I am not new to the Ubuntu community.  I am only new to online advocacy.21:53

Seveasspamming to get votes?21:53
BslBryanMy, even initial, forum postings show a broad knowledge of Ubuntu, as well as UNIX.21:53
BslBryanRead the post, please?21:53
BslBryanAlso, it is off-topic.21:53
BslBryanI have successfully managed to switch members of my high school (I graduated this year) to Ubuntu, as well as my school's library.21:54
forumsmatthewI see knowledge, helpfulness, but not (yet) a sustained presence or contribution. I see a good start21:54
BslBryanI am very eager to help, and in two months I have done a lot.21:55
BslBryanI believe, anyway. :-)21:55
BslBryanPlease view my wiki page if you haven't already?21:55
SeveasBslBryan, still, I don't really like such actions. Also, random people shouting means a lot less than known and recognized ubuntu members giving a testimonial. I think that if you continue what you do now (helping people, awesome!), the forum mods will notice you and will leave a testimonial on your wikipage for the next attempt. Please do come back in a few more months.21:55
forumsmatthewI'm going to recommend spending some more time in the Ubuntu community, including the forums, but not necessarily limited to that venue--join a team or two and participate in a project. Do something with other people21:55
BslBryanCertainly.21:55
SeveasBslBryan, I don't question the quality of your contibution, just the duration :)21:56
BslBryanOf course. :-)21:56
forumsmatthewI think you have promise21:56
Seveas-1, but no rejection21:56
BslBryanThank you, Seveas. :-)  I will come back soon.21:56
forumsmatthewbut you aren't quite ready. Please do come back later21:56
popey-1 for the same reasons, keep up the good work BslBryan !21:56
forumsmatthew-1 for now21:56
Seveassee you in a few months BslBryan21:57
Seveasjoskulj, you're up21:57
BslBryanThanks, everyone.  I'll see you all then.21:57
joskuljsorry for being so late21:57
joskuljI am Jochen Skulj from Germany and I'm a translator.21:58
joskuljI started working with Rosetta in 2005, but in the beginning it was rather confusing for me, since I didn't know where to start and I didn't recieve much feedback if my translations were ok. In 2006 I also joined the German GNOMWE Translation Team where translations where checked via mailing list. Later on, in 2008 I re-joined ubuntu-l10-de. We then established a kind of ToDo-List as a central page for coordination, descri21:58
SeveasImpressive karma21:59
joskuljthank you21:59
SeveasBut I know the germans are one of the best organized LoCoteams, which is why I think that only one testimonial on our wikipage is a bit weak21:59
Seveasgiven that you mention you organize the translation team, I would like to hear from some of the translators what they think about that22:00
joskulja lot of the people I work with are no ubuntu members22:00
joskuljtherefrore I have no testimonails22:01
Seveas"Ich persönlich habe mir immer schon eine AltGr-Taste auf der linken Seite gewünscht," <--- Awesome idea, I am definitely going to copy that22:01
joskuljbut on22:02
joskuljso I just have one testimonial#22:04
joskuljsorry for being a little bit slowq22:05
SeveasI think I am going for a -0, I like what I see very much but I want one or two more testimonials about your work.22:05
Seveasbut I'm open for arguments as to why this would be a wrong vote :)22:05
Seveasphanatic, popey, forumsmatthew?22:07
forumsmatthewI can tell that you have done a lot of work, but it isn't the sort of work that I am qualified to judge. I don't speak German. If there were a couple more people from the German Translation Team who could give even a simple testimonial, I think you would be accepted easily22:07
forumsmatthewAs it is, I"m hesitant, and that is why22:07
joskuljMy problem is that none of the current translators are ubuntu members22:07
popeythey dont necessarily need to be22:07
forumsmattheweven so, if they are active and can speak on your behalf, that would be useful22:07
Seveasjoskulj, you don't have contact with other parts of the german locoteam or the wider community?22:08
forumsmatthewHmm. I want to say "yes," but I just can't get past my desire for a little bit more support from others who know you and your work22:09
joskuljyes, I have contact to the locoteam and juliux even promised me a testimonial22:09
Seveasforumsmatthew, my feeling exactly22:09
forumsmatthewis there anyone here who knows joskulj ?22:10
joskuljok, I can understand your argument22:10
phanaticthe next meeting should be in 3 weeks, so it's pretty soon, but still enough time for you to get those testimonials22:11
forumsmatthewOkay, I need to say -0 for now, with the request that you get some testimonials and come back22:11
joskuljsmurf, do you22:11
popeyAgreed. +0 from me22:11
forumsmatthewI would like to approve you22:11
forumsmatthewso please do come back22:11
phanaticthat was a +0 actually :)22:11
Seveasjoskulj, I hope you're not disappointed. Please do get those testimonials from juliux and from a few translators sorted and come back on the next meeting22:12
SeveasAnyone who want to discuss something else related to the emea membership board?22:13
joskuljcan everyone make testimonials?22:13
knomeSeveas, looks like there is really big problems also on the candidate side on showing up.22:13
knomeSeveas, maybe we/you could emphasize even more on that people need to be well prepared and maybe list some ideas how they could do it.22:14
Seveasjoskulj, yes. But testimonials from people we know usually (at least for me) weigh heavier. So the one testimonial from sebastian did a lot, but just not enough22:14
popeySeveas: lets book the next one22:14
Seveasknome, yeah, I'm planning to write some text on that subject22:14
popeyI am on holiday for the next two weeks so may or may not have access (taking laptop)22:14
popeyI would suggest we book 2 weeks today, same time22:14
joskuljok, thanks.22:15
knomeSeveas, feel free to contact if you need some subjective comments from the candidate side :)22:15
Seveaspopey, ok22:15
knomeSeveas, (not necessarily negative-only ;>)22:15
