[00:00] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [00:00] [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Meetings [00:00] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Meetings [00:00] meeting url [00:00] for agenda [00:00] welcome to the UBT team meeting [00:00] all UBT members who are here please say present [00:01] gift [00:01] all UBT members who are here please say present [00:01] present. [00:01] Presen [00:01] t [00:02] well... this does not appear to be a good turnout [00:02] Hmmm, not really no [00:02] : [00:02] :/ [00:02] present [00:03] Including chair 4 people? [00:03] yes [00:04] Lets give another few minutes for folks to show up [00:04] one more [00:04] present [00:05] two more [00:05] welcome jledbetter and charlie-tca [00:05] * jledbetter waves. Sorry, work, etc. [00:05] no problem [00:05] Alright, no problem jledbetter :) [00:05] well,... lets get the meeting off the ground [00:06] I will skep the first proposed topic as none of the new council members appear to be present [00:06] [TOPIC] new Documentation FG lead [00:06] New Topic: new Documentation FG lead [00:07] The council has acted to temporarily fill the vacany in the Documentation Team with UndiFineD [00:07] He will fill the role of team lead until we hold an election [00:07] UndiFineD: is eligible to run for the position [00:07] Who was the previous Doc Lead? [00:08] zkriesse [00:08] Alright :) [00:08] sounds good to me [00:08] the next topic was UndiFineD's topic [00:08] there was quite an extensive discussion on the mailing list about various parts of it [00:08] [TOPIC] Improving the BT [00:08] New Topic: Improving the BT [00:09] * ddecator wonders if he's not on the ML for some reason [00:09] I 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 vote [00:10] the issues revolve around some negative conotations concerning the words padawan and master [00:10] Team vote with 6 present? [00:10] and the relative lack of structure for membership [00:10] we will not vote here [00:10] we have not settled on what to vote for [00:10] I do want to frame the discussion a bit [00:11] I do not want to remove 'fun' from being on the team -- we are volunteers [00:11] Agreed [00:11] I do not like that our current choice of labels apparently causes some offense [00:11] so the idea is to formalize the process more? [00:11] so I think it would be good to gather some fun alternative names we could use [00:11] in place of Master / Padawan [00:11] fun, hehe [00:12] to 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 member [00:12] it just takes a bit of time and knolwedge [00:12] but I can appreciate the enjoyment factor of having titles [00:12] cprofitt: Yes, but not everybody wants to take time to do this. I liked having one fixed person [00:13] so I would like to ask everyone to research some 'titles' we can use w/o removing the fun [00:13] I could talk to when I had questions [00:13] MrChrisDruif: I agree we need a one to one relationship [00:13] lo [00:13] I liked the Guide mentioned in the mailing-list [00:13] Hai DarkwingDuck [00:13] Ditto on guide. That's not "fun" though but I like it all the same:) [00:13] However...Student doesn't do it for me [00:14] [action] consider alternative names -- gather some options and suggest them on the mailing list with an eye towards voting next meeting [00:14] Guide and Apprentice [00:14] ACTION received: consider alternative names -- gather some options and suggest them on the mailing list with an eye towards voting next meeting [00:14] cprofitt, Should we mail the list with potential titles? If so, by when? [00:14] It refers to much to school [00:14] nm :) [00:14] ddecator: +1 [00:14] beginner; noobie [00:14] ddecator: I like that. [00:14] as far as teh suggested timeline and structure... [00:14] * MrChrisDruif suggested it already on the mailing-list ;) [00:14] I have to say that we are a team of volunteers [00:15] some of us have families, jobs and other obligations and those should be respected [00:15] and all levels of participation should be appreciated [00:15] aye [00:15] +1 [00:15] that said I do like the idea of developing a simple checklist of the basics [00:16] but the basics have never really been an issue... [00:16] it is the contributions / involvement in the community that is difficult to see at times [00:16] I had a checklist when I was an Apprentice [00:16] mainly because it can happen anywhere and we're not everywhere (individually) [00:16] * cprofitt nods [00:16] +1 ddecator [00:17] Support on IRC is difficult to measure [00:17] Gave me some trouble getting membership :P [00:17] I do feel that having prospective members have to document their activity -- add examples to their wiki or get testimonials to be a worthwhile exercise [00:18] as it prepares them if they wish to eventually pursue Ubuntu Memberships [00:18] plus it promotes good wiki hygiene [00:18] ddecator: +1 [00:18] Indeed [00:18] But some people love to edit their wiki and others just want to help [00:19] adding examples to your wiki page shouldn't take long [00:19] I think we can vote on having structure -- and have the council work with the team to create a bit more structure [00:19] And, again, putting IRC support on wiki is kinda tricky :P [00:19] MrChrisDruif: true, but worst case, many of us log the channel and can grep the logs if we're skeptical [00:19] I do think that we need to tell people who give IRC support how they could document that... [00:20] there are areas that are difficult... and if we want them to count we need to give a guide on how to show that activity [00:20] any other comments on that? [00:20] none so far [00:21] documenting people you helped in IRC is hard [00:21] [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 meeting [00:21] Please vote on: 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 meeting. [00:21] Public votes can be registered by saying +1/-1/+0 in the channel, private votes by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to MootBot [00:21] E.g. /msg MootBot +1 #ubuntu-meeting [00:21] documenting issues you helped with is simplier [00:21] +1 [00:21] +1 received from cprofitt. 1 for, 0 against. 0 have abstained.

Total: 6 [00:22] hehe MrChrisDruif [00:23] [agreed]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 meeting [00:23] AGREED received: 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 meeting [00:23] any other topics? [00:24] have a happy natty release everyone :) [00:24] hehe [00:24] I 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 it [00:25] alright since we have no more topics... I would like to go back to an original topic since DarkwingDuck is here [00:25] [topic]New council members - plans [00:25] New Topic: New council members - plans [00:25] DarkwingDuck: please tell us some of your plans for the UBT [00:25] or things you would like to see [00:26] well, ever since the Natty UDS i have wanted to see better interaction with the "main" devel teams in Ubuntu [00:26] The 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] either in docs, motu and others [00:27] i wonder if our collaboration with the bugsquad can act as a guinea pig for this [00:27] * DarkwingDuck nods [00:27] im also in fairly deep with the guys who write the system docs [00:28] not just kin kubuntu but all the docs [00:28] that'd be a good thing for beginners to get involved with [00:29] as a member of the documentation committers i would be more then happy to review and approve patches or docs [00:29] system docs? As in man pages with programs? [00:29] but, the intergration and maybe becoming a "traiining ground" is something i can see us doing [00:29] * ddecator nods [00:29] DarkwingDuck: sounds like we need to get the Doc Committer team lead to approve you as a Mentor for documentation FG [00:30] MrChrisDruif: and the help files that ship with the system [00:31] cprofitt: im game now that the doc freeze for natty is in effect [00:32] but, my plans are to take what ive learned in other teams and seeing how we can train people to move beyond the BT scope [00:32] Good plan DarkwingDuck [00:32] +1 [00:32] and maybe even have new people who goto bug squad or motu teams get sent to us for training [00:32] * MrChrisDruif is distracted by #lubuntu channel [00:33] there is an untapped potential for training here and we are in the perfect position [00:33] to fill a small void [00:34] the BT helped me get ready for teams with deadlines and i think i can help pass that on [00:35] small dreams. :) back to you cprofitt [00:36] thanks DarkwingDuck [00:36] The whole of Ubuntu is deadline based [00:36] alright... I would like to thank everyone who attended the meeting tonight [00:36] aye [00:36] Have a great night everyone [00:36] [endmeeting] [00:36] Thanks cprofitt :) [00:36] #endmeeting [00:36] Meeting finished at 18:36.

I assume we'll have to catch these somehow [16:32] let's see how much of these show up with the gcc-4.6 rebuild [16:33] should be possible to scan build logs for the same regex that launchpad-buildd uses [16:33] cjwatson, doko: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=ftbfs+natty+-no-add-needed&field.tags_combinator=ALL should be a list of open ftbfs without ld-no-add-needed [16:33] albeit slow as usual [16:33] Ampelbein: these queries time out for me unfortunately [16:34] Ampelbein: how many issues does this query show?
