cprofittwelcome jledbetter and charlie-tca00:05
* jledbetter waves. Sorry, work, etc.00:05
cprofittno problem00:05
MrChrisDruifAlright, no problem jledbetter :)00:05
cprofittwell,... lets get the meeting off the ground00:05
cprofittI will skep the first proposed topic as none of the new council members appear to be present00:06
cprofitt[TOPIC] new Documentation FG lead00:06
MootBotNew Topic:  new Documentation FG lead00:06
cprofittThe council has acted to temporarily fill the vacany in the Documentation Team with UndiFineD00:07
cprofittHe will fill the role of team lead until we hold an election00:07
cprofittUndiFineD: is eligible to run for the position00:07
MrChrisDruifWho was the previous Doc Lead?00:07
cprofittzkriesse00:08
MrChrisDruifAlright :)00:08
ddecatorsounds good to me00:08
cprofittthe next topic was UndiFineD's topic00:08
cprofittthere was quite an extensive discussion on the mailing list about various parts of it00:08
cprofitt[TOPIC] Improving the BT00:08
MootBotNew Topic:  Improving the BT00:08
* ddecator wonders if he's not on the ML for some reason00:09
cprofittI think that as a team we will have to break each element down (on the mailing list) and then work towards having a poll to move forward with a team vote00:09
cprofittthe issues revolve around some negative conotations concerning the words padawan and master00:10
MrChrisDruifTeam vote with 6 present?00:10
cprofittand the relative lack of structure for membership00:10
cprofittwe will not vote here00:10
cprofittwe have not settled on what to vote for00:10
cprofittI do want to frame the discussion a bit00:10
cprofittI do not want to remove 'fun' from being on the team -- we are volunteers00:11
MrChrisDruifAgreed00:11
cprofittI do not like that our current choice of labels apparently causes some offense00:11
ddecatorso the idea is to formalize the process more?00:11
cprofittso I think it would be good to gather some fun alternative names we could use00:11
cprofittin place of Master / Padawan00:11
jledbetterfun, hehe00:11
cprofittto be honest the whole concept of master / padawan is really not needed -- to me any member should be capable of guiding another person to be a member00:12
cprofittit just takes a bit of time and knolwedge00:12
cprofittbut I can appreciate the enjoyment factor of having titles00:12
MrChrisDruifcprofitt: Yes, but not everybody wants to take time to do this. I liked having one fixed person00:12
cprofittso I would like to ask everyone to research some 'titles' we can use w/o removing the fun00:13
MrChrisDruifI could talk to when I had questions00:13
cprofittMrChrisDruif: I agree we need a one to one relationship00:13
DarkwingDucklo00:13
MrChrisDruifI liked the Guide mentioned in the mailing-list00:13
MrChrisDruifHai DarkwingDuck00:13
jledbetterDitto on guide. That's not "fun" though but I like it all the same:)00:13
MrChrisDruifHowever...Student doesn't do it for me00:13
cprofitt[action] consider alternative names -- gather some options and suggest them on the mailing list with an eye towards voting next meeting00:14
ddecatorGuide and Apprentice00:14
MootBotACTION received:  consider alternative names -- gather some options and suggest them on the mailing list with an eye towards voting next meeting00:14
jledbettercprofitt, Should we mail the list with potential titles? If so, by when?00:14
MrChrisDruifIt refers to much to school00:14
jledbetternm :)00:14
MrChrisDruifddecator: +100:14
charlie-tcabeginner; noobie00:14
tenachddecator: I like that.00:14
cprofittas far as teh suggested timeline and structure...00:14
* MrChrisDruif suggested it already on the mailing-list ;)00:14
cprofittI have to say that we are a team of volunteers00:14
cprofittsome of us have families, jobs and other obligations and those should be respected00:15
cprofittand all levels of participation should be appreciated00:15
ddecatoraye00:15
charlie-tca+100:15
cprofittthat said I do like the idea of developing a simple checklist of the basics00:15
cprofittbut the basics have never really been an issue...00:16
cprofittit is the contributions / involvement in the community that is difficult to see at times00:16
MrChrisDruifI had a checklist when I was an Apprentice00:16
ddecatormainly because it can happen anywhere and we're not everywhere (individually)00:16
* cprofitt nods00:16
cprofitt+1 ddecator00:16
MrChrisDruifSupport on IRC is difficult to measure00:17
MrChrisDruifGave me some trouble getting membership :P00:17
cprofittI do feel that having prospective members have to document their activity -- add examples to their wiki or get testimonials to be a worthwhile exercise00:17
cprofittas it prepares them if they wish to eventually pursue Ubuntu Memberships00:18
ddecatorplus it promotes good wiki hygiene00:18
cprofittddecator: +100:18
MrChrisDruifIndeed00:18
MrChrisDruifBut some people love to edit their wiki and others just want to help00:18
ddecatoradding examples to your wiki page shouldn't take long00:19
cprofittI think we can vote on having structure -- and have the council work with the team to create a bit more structure00:19
MrChrisDruifAnd, again, putting IRC support on wiki is kinda tricky :P00:19
ddecatorMrChrisDruif: true, but worst case, many of us log the channel and can grep the logs if we're skeptical00:19
cprofittI do think that we need to tell people who give IRC support how they could document that...00:19
cprofittthere are areas that are difficult... and if we want them to count we need to give a guide on how to show that activity00:20
cprofittany other comments on that?00:20
ddecatornone so far00:20
DarkwingDuckdocumenting people you helped in IRC is hard00:21
cprofitt[vote]The UBT Countil in conjunction with the team should develop a potential structure docmuent for prospective members to follow. This document would then be adopted by a vote in a future meeting00:21

cprofittany other topics?00:23
ddecatorhave a happy natty release everyone :)00:24
DarkwingDuckhehe00:24
cprofittI do want to point out, as it has been an issue for some, that the vote we just took authorized the council to do some work. The council does not make decisions unless the team authorized it00:24
cprofittalright since we have no more topics... I would like to go back to an original topic since DarkwingDuck is here00:25
cprofitt[topic]New council members - plans00:25
MootBotNew Topic: New council members - plans00:25
cprofittDarkwingDuck: please tell us some of your plans for the UBT00:25
cprofittor things you would like to see00:25
DarkwingDuckwell, ever since the Natty UDS i have wanted to see better interaction with the "main" devel teams in Ubuntu00:26
MrChrisDruifThe document (which will me made with help from the team) will only be adopted with a vote. It was properly defined the vote :)00:26
DarkwingDuckeither in docs, motu and others00:26
ddecatori wonder if our collaboration with the bugsquad can act as a guinea pig for this00:27
* DarkwingDuck nods00:27
DarkwingDuckim also in fairly deep with the guys who write the system docs00:27
DarkwingDucknot just kin kubuntu but all the docs00:28
ddecatorthat'd be a good thing for beginners to get involved with00:28
DarkwingDuckas a member of the documentation committers i would be more then happy to review and approve patches or docs00:29
MrChrisDruifsystem docs? As in man pages with programs?00:29
DarkwingDuckbut, the intergration and maybe becoming a "traiining ground" is something i can see us doing00:29
* ddecator nods00:29
cprofittDarkwingDuck: sounds like we need to get the Doc Committer team lead to approve you as a Mentor for documentation FG00:29
DarkwingDuckMrChrisDruif: and the help files that ship with the system00:30
DarkwingDuckcprofitt: im game now that the doc freeze for natty is in effect00:31
DarkwingDuckbut, my plans are to take what ive learned in other teams and seeing how we can train people to move beyond the BT scope00:32
MrChrisDruifGood plan DarkwingDuck00:32
ddecator+100:32
DarkwingDuckand maybe even have new people who goto bug squad or motu teams get sent to us for training00:32
* MrChrisDruif is distracted by #lubuntu channel00:32
DarkwingDuckthere is an untapped potential for training here and we are in the perfect position00:33
DarkwingDuckto fill a small void00:33
DarkwingDuckthe BT helped me get ready for teams with deadlines and i think i can help pass that on00:34
DarkwingDucksmall dreams. :) back to you cprofitt00:35
cprofittthanks DarkwingDuck00:36
MrChrisDruifThe whole of Ubuntu is deadline based00:36
cprofittalright... I would like to thank everyone who attended the meeting tonight00:36
DarkwingDuckaye00:36
cprofittHave a great night everyone00:36
