czajkowskidinda: there's no need to change nick when you leave irc, tis kinda frowned upon..16:19
dindaczajkowski: sorry, did it in the wrong window, in Canonical, it's the norm16:19
czajkowskidinda: so I'm learning and canonical folks do it in Ubuntu channels and it's not a good thing...16:20
czajkowskihmmm wonder do canonical folks know this16:20
czajkowskidinda: no worries though just said I'd mention it16:20
jussiI wish the canonical folks would just use a normal "/away" like everyone else16:56
nigelbjussi: I wish they were all using freenode :p19:25
nigelbSo we could force them to behave :p19:26
AlanBellI am missing the meeting tomorrow, but I will just ramble to myself here for a bit on the topics of interest to me19:48
AlanBellI picked up an action on the blueprint to get the wiki theme approved, can someone tell me who needs to approve it and contact details for the person who can move that towards deployment please19:49
AlanBellon the competitions can we clarify which ones are being done when, I got a bit confused just listening to the audio, not sure if there was going to be one competition or both on one date or something19:50
Pendulumdo we have a plan for who is running the meeting?19:58
Pendulumsince it's Thanksgiving for the Americans...19:58
Pendulumelky: are you running the meeting?19:59
pleia2I had assumed elky since it's the crazy-time-for-california one anyway, and that we wouldn't cancel it just because the americas were probably out20:32
Pendulumpleia2: I agree. I just don't want to get up for a 5AM meeting if there's no one committed to be there to lead20:33
pleia2elky: can you confirm and send a reminder email out (or a cancel email)20:33
pleia2?20:33
elkyit's the before-elky-gets-up one too21:10
Pendulumerm. how did we end up with a meeting time that none of our leaders can make?21:11
elkyoh, it wasn't today?21:11
Pendulumno21:12
elkyPendulum, because we put out a vote and most of the voters don't turn up either21:12
Pendulumelky: 10:00UTC thursday21:12
elkyPendulum, also, it's joyfully daylight savings since the vote21:12
Pendulumwell, yes21:12
elkyi'll see if i can get myself up early tomorrow, though i've a lot of packing stuff to do for a work trip so i dunno21:13
Pendulumso maybe we should just cancel?21:13
Pendulumit'd be a 5AM meeting for hypatia who isn't here anyway21:14
Pendulumit sounds like Lyz can't make it21:14
elkyhistorically this one has been like 2 people. since this time was chosen really21:14
czajkowskieither we look at creating new times, or folks  have to decide do we need 2 meetings a month21:14
czajkowskiand bin one of them21:14
PendulumIMO, one of the leaders should cancel this meeting and then put out a new poll about meeting times21:14
Pendulumsince the last meeting no one showed up for and it was the time that people generally made21:15
elkyPendulum, agreed. i don' t have time to scribe the poll up right now though.21:15
Pendulumbut I'm also not sure why it took until 13 hours before the meeting for this to be thought about21:15
czajkowskidrive for meetings does seem to be gone21:15
elkybut i'll mail21:15
* czajkowski hugs Pendulum 21:15
elkyPendulum, because some of us are so busy we really don't know this meeting is coming up until it hits our phone calendars etc21:17
elkyor we join here to see people discussing it21:17
czajkowskione would assume the leaders would know when the meetings were on tbh, they've  gone to the rounds of standing for election to run the team team meetings are a core part of the team21:18
Pendulumelky: I'm going to be blunt: you're a team leader. I'm absolutely embarrassed to be part of a team where the leaders can't keep on top of the meeting times and commit to making them. And it's not just you, but it's starting to be a consistant issue with this team21:19
macoi think tomorrow's issue is daylight savings21:19
macosince it used to be an elky-ok time, but the clocks moved everything around21:19
elkyPendulum, committing to making the meetings is built in to the meetings being at a makeable time. this one actually never was. it was swayed to a kinda-maybe-elky-ok-time by the population that is everywhere but where I am.21:20
elkythen other things made it less elky-ok21:21
macohow about a new poll but the times leaders cant do are just flat out not offered as options?21:21
elkymaco, that's what we're going to do.21:21
Pendulummaco: +1 on the new poll with that limit21:21
macowhich means first the 3 of ya have to sort out which times have at least one of you available21:22
elkymaco, uh, of course.21:22
macok sorry didnt mean to splain. the earlier mention of a new poll didnt mention sorting that first so... worried itd just happen all over again21:23
jussi10utc? am or pm?21:24
Pendulumjussi: AM21:24
jussiso should be fine for elky, no?21:25
macono21:25
jussithat 19 AU time...21:25
elkyjussi, i'm usually commuting21:25
AlanBellMy suggestion would be that the leaders simply propose a time and date, and unless there is an outcry of horror from everyone then that is the time and date of the meeting21:26
jussiahh21:26
jussithe "see if I can get up early" thing confuzzled me21:26
elkyjussi, i'm 10-6:30 most days to be able to get a bus where I can sit down and not have my back killed.21:26
jussifair enough21:26
elkyjussi, i've only just got up, so i used the wrong words21:27
elkyi meant 'get out'21:27
czajkowskithre is never going to be a time that suits everone at some pint there needs to be a bit of give, soeone has to get up a little early, or work back a little or get a later train I'm doing simmilar now, one just needs to go with the flow or  step aside and let others who can do it21:27
macothe non-leaders can be the ones to do those things though. they're not Must Be Present21:28
czajkowskimaco: true,  but they ar the ones doing those things to come to meetings in some cases :)21:28
Pendulumwell, at least I now know that I don't need to get up at 5AM for tomorrow's meeting since it's not happening :P21:29
pleia2elky: thanks for sending the email out, I'm away from home visiting family through sunday but will be available to touch base regarding timing when I get home :)21:49
elkyyeah, we're hitting the worst time of the year to try get people together. i mean just getting family to meet is hell right now21:50
* pleia2 nods21:50
elkyi'm also off on a work trip for 2 weeks on friday, so i'll be a bit sparse too21:52
pleia2ok21:52
pleia2we can organize via email21:52
elkyand hypatia is in the midst of trying to graduate21:53
pleia2yeah21:53
elkyand she just saw the mail and i've told her categorically she's not failing for the sake of an irc discussion :P21:56
