[00:02] <Pretto> cr3, Congrats!!!! Welcome aboard!
[00:02] <cr3> thanks folks, my heart just jumped!
[00:02] <Ursinha> congrats cr3 :)
[00:03] <Ursinha> I'm shy to talk after cr3, he's done brilliant stuff
[00:03] <cr3> Ursinha: I'm crossing my fingers for you now
[00:03] <Technoviking> cr3: thanks:)
[00:03] <pleia2> Ursinha: you're up!
[00:03] <Ursinha> hi all
[00:03] <Pretto> hi Ursinha :D
[00:03] <Ursinha> let's go
[00:03] <Ursinha> as some of you may know, my name is Ursula Junque, a.k.a. Ursinha
[00:03] <Ursinha> I've been involved with Open Source since 2003 and working with that since 2006.
[00:04] <Ursinha> my Ubuntu story started when I switched totally from Gentoo to Ubuntu Feisty, when started working with packaging and then advocating Ubuntu to everyone I could (my grandma and mother-in-law use Ubuntu :))
[00:04] <Ursinha> I joined the Ubuntu Brazilian community in about April 2007, and since then, I've been around on irc, always trying to help the beginners - and not letting more experienced people to harass them
[00:04] <Ursinha> after some time on irc, I was given the operator status of the #ubuntu-br channel
[00:04] <Ursinha> I decided to help translations team, then I started doing translations, but realized I could be more helpful doing other stuff
[00:04] <Ursinha> so, talking with Andre Gondim, the leader of translations team in Brazil, I created a script that maintains the brazilian translations wiki, making it reliable for people that want to help translating packages
[00:04] <Ursinha> I've been maintaining it for several months now, and am working now in KDE and GNOME wiki pages, so we can coordinate better how to deal with upstream translations
[00:05] <Ursinha> I've been also helping the ubuntu-br council and official members, supporting them with community stuff and on events such as FISL (Forum Internacional Software Livre), in which I gave a talk about "using Launchpad to help Ubuntu", in the ubuntu-br community track
[00:05] <Ursinha> my spare time has being almost entirely dedicated to Ubuntu
[00:05] <Ursinha> for the future, I intent to keep helping translations team and also docs team, that needs love. I've been also asked by one of the maintainers of APTonCD app to help on its development, so this will be one of my next steps working on helping improve ubuntu
[00:05] <Ursinha> my wiki page is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UrsulaJunque and my Launchpad page https://launchpad.net/~ursinha
[00:06] <pleia2> impressive work, lots of great testimonials too :)
[00:06] <Ursinha> pleia2, thanks :)
[00:06] <Pretto> just for the record, she lives on IRC!!!! and she is always up to help
[00:06]  * jpds cheers for Ursinha.
[00:06] <Ursinha> :)
[00:06]  * maco cheers for Ursinha too
[00:06] <Ursinha> hey maco!
[00:06] <Ursinha> :)
[00:06] <greg-g> awesome cheering section, Ursinha
[00:07] <Ursinha> :)
[00:08] <greg-g> Ursinha: you say your spare time is spent on Ubuntu, but you also work for Canonical, are you worried about burn out?
[00:08] <beuno> greg-g, Ursinha doesn't sleep, so that shouldn't be a problem
[00:08] <beuno> she's on 24/7
[00:08] <Ursinha> greg-g, actually not, because my job isn't directly related to what I do on free time
[00:08] <Ursinha> lol
[00:09] <greg-g> ahh, ok, that is a good way to stay sane, separating the fields of work
[00:09] <Ursinha> I work on launchpad
[00:10] <bratsche> I'm a fan of Launchpad. :)
[00:10] <Ursinha> :)
[00:10] <maco> oh so you just get annoyed at your dayjob when doing stuff in ubuntu for fun :P
[00:10]  * Pretto is a fan of Ursinha :p
[00:10] <greg-g> maco++
[00:10] <Ursinha> hhahaha
[00:10] <maco> "darn found a bug. will have to fix at work tomorrow"
[00:10] <pleia2> +1 from me, awesome work, and thank you for being so thorough! I couldn't think of any questions to ask :)
[00:10] <JanC> Ursinha: that translation wiki script might be useful for other teams too, I'm not sure how tied to the Brazil situation it is?  (but maybe we better talk about that outside the meeting)
[00:10]  * leleobhz is a fan of Ursinha too
[00:10] <Ursinha> JanC, I have a branch in launchpad, I'll give you the link after the meeting
[00:10] <Legendario> i have been spectating Ursinha`s job on the translation team, just for record too!
[00:11] <greg-g> +1 from me too, awesome work Ursinha.
[00:11] <boredandblogging> +1, rockin'
[00:11] <Ursinha> it's only tied to the way we managed the translations wiki
[00:11] <Technoviking> +1 from me, a fantastic body of work, and maybe the largest cheering section I have seen for a candiate:)
[00:11] <pleia2> woohoo, congrats and welcome Ursinha!

[14:15] <lbt> OK
[14:16] <lbt> let me see if I can dig up who said it...
[14:17] <geirha> Someone should make a bot that sets the next meeting in the topic

[14:23] <lbt> for 21:00 GMT
[14:24] <lool> That's too late for me   :-/
[14:24] <lool> I'm on holidays starting tonight and am packing; it's 11pm my time and I had to stay up til 1am yesterday
[14:24] <lbt> np - I'll catch you again
[14:25] <lbt> have a good holiday!
[14:48] <blizzkid> lo all. I missed the last regional boards meetings, and won't be able to make it to the next one. Is my only option to become a member to attend one of the meetings?
[14:49] <Ursinha> blizzkid, I think so
[14:50] <blizzkid> that's a pitty
[14:51] <ziroday> blizzkid: you can attend one in another timezone
[14:51] <blizzkid> ziroday: yeah, I've seen that, but unfortunately only one has a date set for the next meeting that isn't in the past, and that one I won't be able to attend :)
[14:52] <blizzkid> the others' next meeting is in the past :)
[14:52] <ziroday> blizzkid: one sec
[14:52] <blizzkid> ok
[14:53] <ziroday> well if I remember correctly Oceania holds a meeting every other tuesday
[14:53] <ziroday> so next meeting being the 25th
[14:54] <ziroday> as for EMEA your best bet is to read the logs from the last meeting, or poke someone on the membership council(?)
[14:55] <blizzkid> yeah, I'll see if I can find it in the logs, or if I can poke someone, thx!
[14:55] <ziroday> blizzkid: good luck
[14:55] <blizzkid> ty
[15:17] <greg-g> blizzkid: the America's board has meetings on the second wednesday of the month at 22:00 UTC, just fyi. We'll also do meetings more frequently if it is needed.
[15:18] <blizzkid> greg-g: ok, so that'd be the second wednesday of September, I'll keep it in mind
[15:19] <greg-g> blizzkid: yeah, we just had one last night :)
[15:20] <blizzkid> greg-g: yeah, I saw it, I was too late :) Oth, I don't think (reading the logs) my wiki page will be considered sufficient
[15:21] <greg-g> blizzkid: gotcha. If you have any questions about areas to improve, let me know.
[15:21] <blizzkid> greg-g: ok if I send you the page url in pm?
[15:21] <greg-g> blizzkid: go ahead
[18:20] <blizzkid> greg-g: you still here?
[18:29] <greg-g> I am
[18:29] <Gnuet> 7wc
[18:30] <blizzkid> greg-g: had time yet to look at the wiki page?
[18:30] <blizzkid> I've been away for a while
[18:32] <greg-g> blizzkid: not yet
[18:32] <blizzkid> k, np :)
