Gracias por el apoyo ;) [00:58] por nada ,, tranquilo,,, [00:58] take easy [00:58] hello (: [00:58] Noches/hello [00:59] hola IngForigua [00:59] hello tiagoscd [00:59] IngForigua, o/ [00:59] saludos abr4xas [00:59] Hola IngForigua, Hola tiagoscd [00:59] Emerling, o7 [01:00] alright, lets get this show on the road! === yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:00] #startmeeting [01:00] Meeting started at 19:00. The chair is greg-g. [01:00] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [01:00] Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the Americas meeting for April 21st, 2011. The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas [01:00] We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. [01:00] 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] 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. [01:00] 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. [01:00] 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!) [01:00] Now, with any further ado, lets get started with the first applicant... [01:01] is Matt here? [01:01] doesn't look like it.. [01:01] don't think so [01:01] skaet: you're up! [01:01] [TOPIC] skaet [01:01] New Topic: skaet [01:01] hi, [01:01] good evening :) [01:01] welcome back skaet! :) [01:01] please introduce yourself (quickly, since we know you a bit) [01:01] :) [01:02] Thanks. [01:02] I've been working as release manager for Ubuntu for the last 6 months, [01:03] and I personally thank you for that, things have looked like a well run release, from my perspective [01:03] 8 months of involvement though. i remember debconf :) [01:03] and have been working with the *buntu community and release team to try to ship out the images [01:03] or 9. i cant count. [01:03] heh, thanks maco, I was ramping up for the first 2 months. [01:04] got to help behind the scenes with Maverick, and learn even more with Natty. [01:04] :) [01:04] awesome [01:04] I want to say that I wholeheartedly endorse skaet for membership. She is a real asset to Ubuntu. It is always good to have someone so interested in making Ubuntu better. [01:04] thanks charlie-tca [01:04] In addition, I'm active with some community projects involving licensing and copyrights (SPDX). [01:04] thanks charlie-tca :) [01:05] skaet: spdx sounds intersting, and up my alley, I have to confess I haven't looked into it much [01:05] Have been trying to get involved in some of the loco activities, as time and opportunities permit. and help where I can. [01:05] great :) [01:05] awesome [01:05] Me too, she's always been calm and collected, even through a very rocky alpha series for natty I've never seen her once get angry or lose her cool. She's an outstanding release manager and works well with others and her work is clearly more than 'just a job' for her! [01:06] so yeah, since we're familiar, I think we can go ahead and vote now [01:06] greg-g, cool - happy to go into details with you on spdx. www.spdx.org if you're interested.

[01:16] yes- we do face to face marketing [01:16] cmmtessier, you seem to have an impresive track record there, both in amount of work and creativity [01:16] cmmtessier: do you have a link to the NURG? [01:16] asking people what is ubuntu and if they know anything about the community [01:16] cmmtessier, just curious, I haven't seen you in the #ubuntu-ca channel, (and honestly haven't really checked the mailing lists so much), do you have plans in collaborating with people from other cities in ubuntu-ca for organizing events and such? [01:17] oh, you worked on the gwibber social networking guide? awesome! [01:17] I'll get you a link to the NURG [01:18] my focus hasn't been in chat - it has many be face to face marketing. We do have a delegate that participates in the ubuntu-ca irc channel. However I'm not that delegate [01:18] cmmtessier: that's quite alright :) not everyone can do IRC [01:18] cmmtessier, fair enough, i understand some aren't so much up to IRC :) [01:18] face-to-face is good :) people on irc *already* know about ubuntu! [01:19] exactly - I really like to get the word out to those that haven't heard of Ubuntu [01:19] cmmtessier: just wondering for logistics type stuff...does it cost y'all anything to have a table at the farmers market? (my loco goes to a folk festival) [01:20] (this is unrelated to my vote, i'm just curious) [01:20] It cost less than $100 for the season [01:20] oh nice [01:20] not bad [01:20] it costs us $100 for the one *day* at the folk festival! [01:21] so, I think the board is ready (and just a reminder folks, only board members vote, please :) ) [01:21] we are planning to hit some festivals if the price point is right but we do have some free festivals we can enter into.
