| pleia2 | Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the Americas meeting for July 22nd. The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas | 01:00 |
| pleia2 | this is a make-up meeting for one we had to reschedule from last week :) | 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 |
| * beuno apologizes | 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 positive, 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... | 01:01 |
| pleia2 | dyfet was approved by email since he started his app during the last meeting, we'll announce his approval along with the rest of the applicants, so congrats dyfet! | 01:02 |
| nhandler | Congratulations | 01:02 |
| greg-g | yes, congrats again, dyfet! | 01:03 |

| pleia2 | [TOPIC] jturek membership | 01:18 |
| MootBot | New Topic: jturek membership | 01:18 |
| nhandler | Can you introduce yourself jturek ? | 01:18 |
| jturek | Sure | 01:18 |
| jturek | Hi Guys, I am John Turek - a long time ubuntu user | 01:19 |
| jturek | I have been involved with passing on the ubuntu flame for years, now. and I run a local linux users group in rural PA | 01:19 |
| jturek | My main job runs a UEC with a large voip deployment | 01:19 |
| jturek | I'd like to be a ubuntu member to be able to continue my indoctrination of ubuntu to others | 01:20 |
| jturek | I have been working more with #ubuntu-community and getting to know everybody there | 01:20 |
| jturek | (even was a runner up with Jono's new UEC Laison position) | 01:21 |
| jturek | Thanks for considering me for membership | 01:21 |
| jturek | nhandler: ok | 01:22 |
| maco | where's your wiki link? | 01:22 |
| pleia2 | jturek: can you discuss some of the work you've done in the community thus far? your wiki is kind of sparse | 01:22 |
| dudanogueira | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JohnTurek | 01:22 |
| jturek | Hi, the wiki is space since i have little web based community involvement, it has mostly been in the local and rural setting. | 01:23 |
| jturek | I was on many of th emeetings of the last UDS in belgum (remotely) and contributed some feedback in the UEC meetings and Server | 01:23 |
| pleia2 | jturek: have you tried working at all with the ubuntu pennsylvania team? | 01:23 |
| maco | couldnt get any of the in-person-people to write on it? | 01:24 |
| jturek | pleia2: I'd like to reach out to the other ubuntu locals and grow our rural team, its difficult where i live | 01:24 |
| nhandler | jturek: I see you are a member of the 5-a-day team. How much bug triaging have you done? | 01:24 |
| pleia2 | jturek: loco teams are great for that, pennsylvania is my old loco (I just moved a few months back) and they're a great bunch, a lot of folks who are rural and always looking to swap best practices and tips :) | 01:24 |
| jturek | excellent pleia2 i look forward to growing that | 01:25 |
| jturek | and nhandler I made a committment to myself to work on triaging bugs more, I helped with python-snippets and other small jono projects.. and I did alot of bug reporting back in the old days if BitchX and gaim | 01:25 |
| jturek | I will continue to give more time as it has become available, esp with Maverick | 01:26 |
| dudanogueira | jturek: have you contributed with documentation or support on mailing lists? | 01:26 |
| maco | jturek: couldnt get any of the in-person-people to write on your wiki page? | 01:26 |
| jturek | Maco, If its truly required, I will get a snippet from a few local team members and have them added. Sorry it isn't on there | 01:27 |
| nhandler | jturek: It isn't really "required", but they are a very big help | 01:28 |
| pleia2 | jturek: that'd be great, testimonials are really valueable to this process, particularly in your case where much of your work can not be reflected in statistics and "web work" | 01:28 |
| jturek | ok pleia2 | 01:28 |
| pleia2 | if you worked with jono you might also ask him for a testimonial, as well as the folks you've been working with remotely since UDS | 01:28 |
| * nhandler has to go to dinner | 01:29 | |
| jturek | And dudanogueira the support has been in IRC chat alot of the times, for the lernid and snippets projects, I am doing a proxy impelemntation for Lernid to work behind irc blocked networks | 01:29 |
| dudanogueira | that's very good!! | 01:29 |
| jturek | since I am blocked at work as well.. which breaks lernid :) | 01:30 |
| jturek | I have worked with Amazon EC2 engineers to help get AMI's deployed for customers as well in a consulting role | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | jturek: if you have time to help with lernid more, you should pop around #ubuntu-classroom-backstage to chat with the classroom folks, I know there are a few bugs out there we'd like to see addressed :) | 01:31 |
| jturek | pleia2: i'd be glad to | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | great :) | 01:31 |
| jturek | I usually keep my irc on while my day job is going on... just right now I was out chasing kids around | 01:31 |
| jturek | ;) | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | jturek: so I'd suggest you collect some testimonials from folks who know your work in the community, and then return in a couple months so we can review your app again | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | oh, and head over to #ubuntu-us-pa to chat with the pennsylvania folks, might even find some others in your area | 01:32 |
| nhandler | But you are definitely off to a great start. I look forward to seeing you come back | 01:32 |
| jturek | thanks nhandler | 01:32 |
| jturek | and pleia2 | 01:32 |
| jturek | sorry to hold you guys off | 01:32 |
| pleia2 | no need for apologies, thanks for coming :) | 01:32 |
