| pleia2 | #startmeeting | 01:00 |
| MootBot | Meeting started at 19:00. The chair is pleia2. | 01:00 |
| MootBot | Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] | 01:00 |
| pleia2 | Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the Americas meeting for May 28th, 00:00 UTC. The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas | 01:00 |
| pleia2 | We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. | 01:00 |
| pleia2 | The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). | 01:00 |
| pleia2 | Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions. | 01:01 |
| pleia2 | During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote. | 01:01 |
| pleia2 | When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the sum of those numbers is 4 or above, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!) | 01:01 |
| pleia2 | Now, with any further ado, lets get started with the first applicant... | 01:02 |
| pleia2 | doesn't look like Flare183 is here | 01:02 |
| manjo | My name is Manoj Iyer (manjo), I am a long term user of Ubuntu, started using Ubuntu since Warty Warthog. I am a full time Ubuntu kernel developer, I worked on Jaunty, Karmic, and Lucid Kernels. | 01:02 |

| manjo | my wiki page is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ManojIyer | 01:03 |
| * ogasawara cheers for manjo | 01:04 | |

| pleia2 | hooray for work improving suspend/resume :) | 01:05 |
| manjo | thank you | 01:05 |
| greg-g | manjo, could you tell me more about your workshops on hardware testing? | 01:05 |
| manjo | sure | 01:05 |
| manjo | greg-g, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelCompatibilityTesting | 01:06 |
| manjo | its is aimed at running simple tests that any novice user can run | 01:06 |
| nhandler | Very nice tool and wiki page | 01:06 |
| manjo | and we collect some info in the background on what failed in the kernel | 01:06 |
| manjo | thanks | 01:06 |
| manjo | currently adding bios tests to that | 01:07 |
| maco | so, i havent used it before. does it have a gui? | 01:07 |
| greg-g | manjo: does this coordinate much with the System Testing app in the GNOME menu? | 01:07 |
| manjo | maco, yes the wiki has screen schots | 01:07 |
| manjo | greg-g, you mean checkbox ? | 01:07 |
| maco | ok im slow :) *blames wireless* | 01:07 |
| manjo | greg-g, this is somewhat similar to that, but we collect more kernel specific info | 01:08 |
| greg-g | manjo: yeah | 01:08 |
| manjo | and we don't do any userspace stuff | 01:08 |
| greg-g | manjo: gotcha. So, the databases that they send to are separate, then? | 01:08 |
| maco | manjo: ok that looks awesome. i will have to spend a few hours at computer shop with it now :P | 01:08 |
| manjo | right | 01:08 |
| manjo | maco, git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/manjo/kernel-qa-dev kernel-qa-dev is a testing/dev tree | 01:09 |
| beuno | manjo, so what where you up to before joining Canonical? | 01:09 |
| manjo | that has bios tests in case you are interested | 01:09 |
| manjo | beuno, I worked at Linux Technology Centre IBM in Austin for 11yrs | 01:09 |
| nhandler | manjo: Any Ubuntu work before joining Canonical? | 01:10 |

| pleia2 | ozzie_: you here? | 01:13 |
| easter_egg | pleia2, sorry | 01:13 |
| ozzie_ | My name is Ron (Ozzie), my wiki is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/theozzlives. I started using Ubuntu with 7.10. | 01:13 |
| pleia2 | [TOPIC] ozzie_ membership | 01:13 |
| MootBot | New Topic: ozzie_ membership | 01:13 |
| ozzie_ | I recently had my own little Wal-Mart LTS expo. Passed out 100 CDs (which I bought, burned, and labeled) and 100 flyers (which I designed, and printed) at my own expense. | 01:14 |
| ozzie_ | I'm currently a member of the Oklahoma LoCo. | 01:14 |
| ozzie_ | I constantly evangalize Ubuntu to friends, family, and customers. | 01:14 |
| ozzie_ | Currently taking my Linux+ course. | 01:14 |
| nhandler | ozzie_: You mention doing work on the forum. Do you have a link to your forum profile? | 01:17 |
| pleia2 | ozzie_: you applied back in March and we asked you to come back once the OK City LoCo had a few events under your belt and some testimonials, I only see one Testimonial, how is OKC doing? | 01:17 |
| ozzie_ | My forum nick is theozzlives | 01:17 |
| beuno | ozzie_, got any testimonials from the Oklahoma LoCo folks? | 01:17 |
| ozzie_ | no | 01:17 |
| nhandler | [LINK] http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=420456 | 01:18 |
| MootBot | LINK received: http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=420456 | 01:18 |
| pleia2 | ah, two testimonials | 01:18 |
| ozzie_ | there's 2 testimonials | 01:18 |
| maco | are they LoCo folks? | 01:18 |
| pleia2 | ozzie_: any testimonials from members of the ubuntu community, forums maybe? | 01:18 |
| beuno | ozzie_, right, those seem to be grom customers, no? | 01:18 |
| dudanogueira | ozzie_: do you have close contact with your locoteam? | 01:18 |
| * maco hands beuno an "f" | 01:18 | |
| ozzie_ | Customers | 01:18 |
| ozzie_ | the loco hasn't had a meeting | 01:19 |
| beuno | maco, thanks, I ran out! | 01:19 |
| pleia2 | ozzie_: at the last meeting you expressed your intention of getting th OK loco going, you haven't had a meeting but has there been any progress? | 01:20 |
| ozzie_ | no the leader isn't doing much | 01:20 |
| ozzie_ | I sent a mail to the loco with one reply | 01:21 |
| pleia2 | ozzie_: I am going to suggest the same thing we suggested at the last meeting - work with the loco and the leader to get things rolling (you say you're an active member, but nothing is happening?) | 01:21 |
| pleia2 | also get some testimonials from folks you work with in the loco, and on the forums | 01:21 |
| greg-g | ozzie_: I find offering to coordinate an event really gets leaders, and the group, to get energized again. And really, making a reservation at a restuarant doesn't take much time, but it makes everyone else appreciate the work you do | 01:21 |
| * maco thinks greg-g read her mind and stole what she was gonna say | 01:22 | |
| greg-g | :) | 01:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, you don't need to be the leader to plan events :) I do it all the time and I'm not the loco leader of my team | 01:22 |
| ozzie_ | with no help I'm doing it all myself | 01:22 |
| maco | you're somewhere warm. have a bbq in the back yard :) | 01:23 |
| nhandler | ozzie_: I'm sure you could send an email to the loco-contacts@ mailing list or ask in #ubuntu-locoteams for some help getting an event going | 01:23 |
| maco | plenty of stuff can be done without a whole lot of planning. as greg-g said, call a restaurant and say "save me a big table" | 01:23 |
| dudanogueira | also, if there are no leaders, or the leader isn't doing a lot, go for it and be the leader :) | 01:23 |
| maco | dudanogueira: +1 | 01:23 |
| nhandler | Shall we officially vote to defer him for now | 01:24 |
| maco | nhandler: go for it | 01:25 |

| nhandler | There are also many wiki pages that might help | 01:26 |
| greg-g | ozzie_: I really think you have a good chance to get something going in OKC, and please don't hesitate to reach out to the wider LoCO community for assistance/guidance | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | [TOPIC] Flare183 membership | 01:27 |
| MootBot | New Topic: Flare183 membership | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | Flare-Laptop: you're up :) | 01:27 |
| Flare-Laptop | Alright, Hi everyone. I'm Flare183 aka Flare-Laptop. I'm the leader of Ubuntu of South Carolina. | 01:27 |
| Flare-Laptop | My wiki page is as followed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Richardson183 | 01:29 |
| pleia2 | Flare-Laptop: can you talk about some of the projects/events the south carolina team is currently working on? | 01:29 |
| Flare-Laptop | pleia2: Lately there has been pretty low activity in the LoCo Team due to the fact that everyone is busy, and I've just become the team leader a few months or so ago | 01:30 |
| pleia2 | Flare-Laptop: any plans in the works? A Lucid release party perhaps? | 01:30 |
| greg-g | Flare-Laptop: any plans..... | 01:30 |
| Flare-Laptop | We have plans yes, we are going to try to do a Ubuntu Hour, but at where we haven't decided yet | 01:31 |
| nhandler | Flare-Laptop: What type of help do you provide on IRC? | 01:31 |
| akgraner | I missed adding a testimonial for Flare-Laptop however, he is very helpful to people in the IRC channel who need help. He has offered to participate in events in SC and NC where and when possible | 01:31 |
| maco | I see a lot of animosity toward other OSes (using Windows is a sin?) in your opening paragraph on your wiki page. Just to be sure, if someone comes to you needing help with a dual boot, do you respect their decision to have and use other OSes? | 01:32 |
| Flare-Laptop | nhandler: any time of help that I can, I try my best to do what I can to help anyone. | 01:32 |
| nhandler | Flare-Laptop: What channels do you tend to help out in? Just the SC LoCo channel? | 01:32 |
| Flare-Laptop | maco: Yes, I do. And I understand that windows is out there, and I respect them if they use Windows or another OS | 01:33 |
| Flare-Laptop | nhandler: The man general channel as well as #ubuntu-beginners | 01:33 |
| pleia2 | Flare-Laptop: I'd really like to see some testimonials from folks you work with on IRC, as well as some solid activity in the SC team (with pictures! we love pictures! :)) | 01:34 |
| Flare-Laptop | pleia2: I do have logs of me helping people, I would have to dig into them if you like | 01:35 |
| nhandler | Flare-Laptop: Logs are different than testimonials. | 01:35 |
| Flare-Laptop | nhandler: I understand taht | 01:36 |
| Flare-Laptop | that* | 01:36 |
| maco | i'd like to see how you do at kicking some life into the SC LoCo. any movement there? | 01:37 |
| maco | i see you said Ubuntu Hour | 01:38 |
| maco | but did you do anything for Lucid's release? | 01:38 |
| dudanogueira | Flare-Laptop: Ubuntu is about community, and working together with your LoCo team, is about doing it on the "community way". | 01:38 |
| Flare-Laptop | Yes, I have been trying to play and organize some people for a Ubuntu at the College that I goto, but haven't had much luck to the fact that I would like more people to come | 01:38 |
| Flare-Laptop | dudanogueira: I Understand and agree to that | 01:39 |
| pleia2 | most locos start off pretty small, I consider an event a success if there is more than just me there ;) | 01:39 |
| pleia2 | so no need to worry so much about numbers, getting things started is key | 01:39 |
| maco | heh yep in our loco thatd be "more than me and crimsun" | 01:39 |
| maco | though lately we've had a minimum of 3 or 4! :) | 01:39 |
| greg-g | maco: well done! :) | 01:39 |
| nhandler | Yep. You'll also be amazed at the number of people who just show up without ever RSVPing or saying anything on the ML or on IRC | 01:40 |
| maco | greg-g: avg is closer to half-dozen | 01:40 |

| easter_egg | whell.. | 01:42 |
| maco | dont be nervous. i dont think ive ever seen "never" be the answer :) | 01:43 |
| easter_egg | If you read my wiki, you see a lot of things that I really can't do alone | 01:43 |
| easter_egg | like... | 01:43 |
| easter_egg | be a motu, help with the bugs, help with with translations, help with documentations | 01:44 |
| easter_egg | And you will ask? | 01:44 |
| easter_egg | How you will make these things? | 01:44 |
| easter_egg | At Manaus... | 01:45 |
| easter_egg | many developers se ubuntu and would to help | 01:45 |
| easter_egg | if I join all | 01:45 |
| easter_egg | I will can do theses things, I will have many arms | 01:46 |
| easter_egg | many brains to make my ideas work | 01:46 |
| easter_egg | because one idea alone is nothing | 01:46 |
| easter_egg | What I need to do is | 01:46 |
| easter_egg | show the way to the people who's like of my ideas | 01:47 |
| pleia2 | easter_egg: can you discuss what you're currently doing right now? (you're not a motu yet) | 01:47 |
| easter_egg | pleia2, and now | 01:47 |
| easter_egg | I'm working hardly to create a development team of ubuntu here | 01:47 |
| easter_egg | making hackfests | 01:47 |
| easter_egg | saying how to report bugs | 01:48 |
| easter_egg | showing the way | 01:48 |
| greg-g | good good, how many of those hackfests have you done? | 01:48 |
| easter_egg | one for week | 01:49 |
| easter_egg | since the last month | 01:49 |
| greg-g | wow! | 01:49 |
| easter_egg | in this saturday | 01:49 |
| greg-g | (I think you mean "one per week", btw) | 01:49 |
| easter_egg | will be happen another hackfest | 01:49 |
| nhandler | Very impressive | 01:49 |
| easter_egg | greg-g, thats it | 01:50 |
| greg-g | :) | 01:50 |
| easter_egg | I now that I have a long way | 01:50 |
| easter_egg | but I'm optimistic | 01:50 |
| maco | have you been working with bugsquad (or bugsquad's wiki pages) to try to teach the folks you're working with how to make good, useful bug reports? | 01:50 |
| easter_egg | I normally say face to face in hackfests | 01:51 |
| easter_egg | I will try to make more documentations in brazillian wiki | 01:51 |
| nhandler | easter_egg: I see you are part of the Launchpad Brazilian Translators team. Do you do much work with translations? | 01:51 |
| easter_egg | nhandler, with translations is very rare | 01:51 |
| easter_egg | I have... | 01:52 |
| easter_egg | a especial interest in internacionalization | 01:52 |
| maco | easter_egg: what i mean is, what do you do with the "saying how to report bugs"? is it just "run ubuntu-bug PACKAGE"? or do you walk others through how to make the bug report be really useful for developers? | 01:52 |
| maco | in my opinion, we need more people teaching how to write *good* bug reports | 01:52 |
| easter_egg | maco, I'm say the following: | 01:53 |
| easter_egg | - If the bug is related with openid or launchpad | 01:53 |
| easter_egg | - Make a report in english to team fundations | 01:54 |
| easter_egg | if the bug is related with the bots | 01:54 |
| easter_egg | make a report do team ubuntu-bots, in english, with details | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | easter_egg: sounds like you've been doing good work, but you don't have any testimonials on your page, is there anyone here to give you one? | 01:55 |
| easter_egg | pleia2, no... just Andre Gondim accompanies my work | 01:55 |
| easter_egg | and | 01:56 |
| easter_egg | one or two people of cannonical | 01:56 |
| pleia2 | perhaps you can get them to write testimonials for your wiki? | 01:56 |
| easter_egg | Henning Eggers is one of then | 01:56 |
| easter_egg | pleia2, yes... its possible, but he's not in the irc now | 01:57 |
| easter_egg | in fact, | 01:57 |
| easter_egg | I made a mistake and thought the meeting was only tomorrow | 01:57 |
| pleia2 | no problem, we have them every month :) | 01:57 |
| dudanogueira | easter_egg: Have you contacted Andre Gondim for giving you a testimonial? | 01:57 |
| easter_egg | dudanogueira, No | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | so I suggest getting some testimonials from a few folks who are familiar with your work, keep doing what you're doing, and then come back to a later meeting | 01:58 |
| maco | only 3 weeks til the next one since this one was a week late | 01:58 |
| easter_egg | is possible to do this when he's back? | 01:58 |
| easter_egg | pleia2, okay | 01:58 |
| pleia2 | Matir_: you here? | 01:59 |
| Matir_ | pleia2, yes | 01:59 |
| easter_egg | pleia2, I accept the suggestion | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | easter_egg: ok great, see you at a meeting soon! | 01:59 |
| pleia2 | :) | 01:59 |
| easter_egg | thanks for everyone | 01:59 |
| easter_egg | good night | 02:00 |

| Matir_ | Hi everyone... my name is David Tomaschik, aka Matir. I've been a Ubuntu User since my migration from Gentoo (started with Hoary). I'm a bugsquad member, and I'm also an active member and organizer of the Georgia LoCo. | 02:00 |
| greg-g | thanks for your contributions easter_egg, come back soon | 02:00 |
| Matir_ | I'm naturally a staunch Ubuntu evangelist, including spearheading an RHEL->Ubuntu Server transition at my work. My wiki page is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Matir | 02:00 |
| easter_egg | I will be back | 02:00 |
| maco | hah poaching from other distros? | 02:00 |
| greg-g | nice, how is that transition going? | 02:00 |
| Matir_ | greg-g, pretty well... we're about to move our main campus CMS over from RHEL to Ubuntu Server... mainly to get PHP > 5.1, but some other reasons too | 02:01 |
| dudanogueira | easter_egg: We hope so! And work in order to put Ubuntu-AM up! | 02:01 |
| pleia2 | Matir_: I heard great things about ALF, was so sorry I couldn't make it! | 02:01 |
| Matir_ | pleia2, it was a surprise even to us to see how big it became | 02:01 |
| maco | pleia2: clearly they need to have a teleport station at the next one | 02:01 |
| easter_egg | dudanogueira, I will work. Thanks for concern | 02:01 |
| nhandler | Matir_: I see you are active in the BugSquad. Any plans to go out for BugControl ? | 02:01 |
| Matir_ | nhandler, yes, I'd like to. I'm just trying to get a few more strong "example" bugs before I do that. | 02:02 |
| greg-g | Matir_: good deal, feel free to ping nhandler or maco or I if you have any questions on QA stuff | 02:03 |
| greg-g | ;) | 02:03 |
| Matir_ | greg-g, I will then. | 02:03 |
| nhandler | Matir_: For the bullets under "The Future of Ubuntu" on your wiki, are you doing anything to work towards making them happen? | 02:03 |
| Matir_ | nhandler, yes... I've worked with a number of people at the school I attended and now the university I work at to help them find Ubuntu alternatives to Windows software. Additionally, we're currently developing a meta-tool for managing UFW in-house at KSU. | 02:04 |
| Matir_ | nhandler, I'm also actively testing a couple of firewall frontends to see which might be ready for default on the desktop | 02:05 |
| greg-g | nice | 02:05 |
| nhandler | Matir_: And are you making the results of these tests, the tool, and the list of alternatives back to the community in any way? | 02:05 |
| Matir_ | nhandler, I've published a blog entry or two regarding alternatives. When/if I discover bugs in the GUIs, they will be reported, or I will open a bug to suggest putting it in the default install | 02:06 |
| nhandler | Awesome Matir_ | 02:06 |
| greg-g | what about the meta-tool? | 02:07 |
| Matir_ | nhandler, as far as the tool is concerned, I have to receive consent from the Board of Regents, but my boss and I have discussed open-sourcing it | 02:07 |
| greg-g | I hope you can | 02:07 |
| maco | good luck with tat | 02:07 |
| maco | *that | 02:07 |

| maco | pgraner: I remember that you were surprised to learn about Full Circle back when akgraner got involved in it. Has your familiarity with the community improved since then? | 02:12 |
| pgraner | maco: wasn't surprised just didn't read it so I was unfamiliar with the content | 02:13 |
| maco | ok | 02:14 |
| pgraner | maco: and I'm involved with as much of the community as I can be traveling over 180+ days in supoort of Ubuntu | 02:14 |
