doctormoHey thorwil17:22
thorwilhi doctormo17:22
doctormoI notice j_baer has been very active in the art community mailing list. thoughts?17:22
thorwildoctormo: great enthusiasm, some clear thinking, but over-eagerness17:23
thorwildoctormo: for example, that libreoffice request doesn't belong at all and on top of that can't be filled in quite yet17:25
doctormoseconded17:25
doctormothorwil: Do you think we need a meeting to discuss issues?17:26
thorwildoctormo: i would think so, but seeing how my pointing out how the artwork team isn't ready to appear as a functional unit towards the libreoffice project twice, i doubt explaining it once again won't help17:28
thorwilarg! i doubt explaining it once again will help17:29
doctormothorwil: Depends on the context of the discussion. I propose a meeting between myself, yourself and j_baer in private where we can discuss some of the over-eager and misplaced direction frankly.17:30
thorwildoctormo: we can certainly try that17:32
doctormoIf we can get the three of us on the same page, then perhaps that's all we need to form a nucleus of a community team.17:38
thorwildoctormo: the only other candidates would be vish and saleel (if he sticks around this time)17:42
doctormoWorth inviting them in on this then. Would youlike me to set up the administration side of a meeting?17:45
thorwildoctormo: yes17:46
thorwildinner time, bbl17:46
vishdoctormo, thorwil: i tried to bring it up the last time when he was around, but he seems a bit over lost?18:03
vishs/over//18:05
doctormovish, thorwil: art team mailing list has the link for the meeting doodle poll18:07
thorwildoctormo: doodled, thanks18:19
vishthorwil: the time is in GMT?18:20
thorwilvish: yes. the one thing i miss on doodle is selectable timezone (per user)18:21
vishyea, and there is no indication of the timezone!!!18:22
vishIMO, The key to building a team is to not talk always.. if one person is doing the talking always then its less of a team, even less if there is not much reply/output18:25
vishthorwil: should the meeting have been 'baer intervention' ?18:26
* vish very bad! ;p18:26
thorwilheh, yeah, bad vish!18:26
vishthorwil: i think what might have gone wrong is, after UDS session baer might have thought that all the team needs now is just some leadership, or someone driving the team..18:28
vishwhen actually its that we need a team!!18:28
thorwilhmm, could be18:30
vishhrmm! we better have that meeting fast, not sure what baer is thinking!!19:29
vishlast i heard he is not interested in doing the LibO work and not sure what community he is talking about when he mentions 'being interested' !!19:29
thorwilvish: i guess that's an "apology " for my behavior.19:30
doctormovish: I'm terribly confused, could you fill me in on WTF?19:30
vishdoctormo: his latest reply on the LibO thread..19:31
vishthorwil: yea, but still wheres the promised land?19:31
doctormoI'm worried because he's looking less like a maverick and more like a disruptive element which each email to the mailing list.19:32
vishyea..19:32
doctormoI'd like to get his arse in here so we can chat.19:33
thorwilvish, doctormo: he must be referring to http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/marketing/msg01191.html19:35
vishthorwil: yea, but still not an excuse nor is that offensive..19:39
doctormothorwil: My only comment is that issues within the ubuntu community should stay in the ubuntu community.19:39
doctormoBut other than that, I think that it's just as wrong to stand up and count yourself as representing the art community in total.19:39
doctormowhich is what j_baer has done 3 times now.19:40
thorwildoctormo: yes, that's the aspect of it i'm uneasy about. but from my point of view, John and David pulled that topic over there19:40
doctormopulled the topic?19:41
thorwildoctormo: caused me to put the record straight by repeatedly "representing" the community (John) or saying how great the Team would be and what wonders it will do (David)19:43
