AndrewMC[Topic] Merdging with the Beginners Team17:06
MootBotNew Topic:  Merdging with the Beginners Team17:06
AndrewMCOkay, so the council has talked and we have decided to bring this forward to the whole team, we are thinking that it may be wise for Ubuntu Youth to merdge with the beginners team17:07
AndrewMC(This is where all of you chime in with your opinions hehe)17:08
hakimsheriffWhy would we do that?17:08
AndrewMChakimsheriff: Well the beginners team and Ubuntu Youth seem to share nearly identical if not identical goals, i think a merdger would benifit both teams17:09
hakimsheriffoh okay17:09
JasonOO agree, we should merge with UBT because it will help new comers get involved with projects and find something they love to do. Instead of doing nothing or taking their own path(s).17:10
hakimsheriffyes that could work17:10
* BasicXP nods17:10
Gulfstreambut is there any harm that could result in the merge?17:10
UndiFineDAndrewMC, did you talk to the UBT council about this ?17:11
AndrewMCUndiFineD: yes I have17:11
MichealHI was away :P17:11
UndiFineDok, cool, what was their view ?17:11
AndrewMCUndiFineD: well they said that they would either have someone from the (BT) council come and help us or we could actually merdge with them17:12
AndrewMCWhat I plan on doing is, seeing is if this is REALLY something that this team wants then the (UY) council will finalize with the the Beginners Team council17:12
GulfstreamI don't think it is a good idea17:13
AndrewMCGulfstream: no, please voice your opinion, that is what this meeting is about :)17:13
UndiFineDwell I think that would work alright, the only ones I have not met yet are Gulfstream, BasicXP , robotman I think17:13
* UndiFineD waves17:14
robotmanhello17:14
AndrewMCUndiFineD: and the problem with UY is, why does someone need to join a seperate team when the beginners team is already there and has a full mentor (or whatever its called) system in place.17:14
Gulfstreambut Ubuntu youth is designed for youth17:15
UndiFineDhow many youthful people do you have currently ?17:15
hakimsheriffMe17:15
AndrewMCUndiFineD: everyone in #ubuntu-youth with +v are team members17:16
robotmanWell i think it would be benificial becuase as a new person there area  ton  of similar communuties which means that you have to be in a ton of seperate teams to get noticed17:16
robotmaneven though they do similar things17:16
hakimsheriffMaybe it could be the Youth Focus Group in the Ubuntu Beginners team?17:17
AndrewMCGulfstream: Well, (again this is all still in planning) what I am thinking is, that we would still have our own IRC channel and such but it would be a place for the youth of the beginners team to hang out and work together on projects17:17
UndiFineDalright guys I was just being curious, continue with your meeting17:17
AndrewMCUndiFineD: oh no, we value input17:18
AndrewMCGulfstream: so yes basicaly a youth focus group17:18
* JasonO Has been up for 20 hours, needs some sleep. Good bye.17:20
* JasonO robotman also expressed his opinion17:20
AndrewMCSo, are we all set to vote on this or does anyone else want to bring something up?17:20
MichealHAndrewMC, I'm good :)17:21
Gulfstreamso what would be the real gains of merging to UBT? Or is it just as good as having the teams the way they are now?17:21
AndrewMCGulfstream: Well i think it will really improve membership.17:22
BasicXPI understood team goals differently. Ubuntu Youth is for engaging youth in different projects, while Ubuntu Beginners is "to enhance the initial experience of new Ubuntu users"17:23
Gulfstreamthat's how I understood the teams when I looked at the pages.17:23
BasicXPYou said the goals of both teams are similar. I just don't get the similarity17:23
AndrewMCBasicXP: Well UY is pretty much the same thing, and the beginers team (as least for me) was my starting point, UY was designed to be a beginners team for youth which is why it makes sense to merdge with the beginners team.17:24
robotmanThe main thing i see that was differant when i was looking into joining teams was that UBT has bug and DEv section17:25
AndrewMCThe way I see UY (after the merdger) would be a place for the youth of the beginners team to come together and chat and work together on projects.17:26
BasicXPAndrewMC: then ubuntu-youth becomes sort of youth focus group, as Gulfstream already said17:26
BasicXPthat might work17:26
AndrewMCBasicXP: Yes, i beleive that is what the BT council would do17:26
BasicXPbtw, merge :)17:26
AndrewMC#vote Should we activly persue a merdger with the Beginners Team?17:27
AndrewMCgrr17:27
Gulfstreamso then what would be changed?17:27
AndrewMCGulfstream: We wouldnt be seperate team, we wouldnt need to have our own membership process17:28
GulfstreamAndrewMC: so all existing UBT members would be UY members or vice versa?17:28
AndrewMCGulfstream: That I dont know yet, I have just gotten the ok from the BT council to bring this up, the specifics of the merger have yeto to be determined, what we didnt want to happen was we get everything all set to go and find out that this was not something that the team wanted.17:30
AndrewMCI assume (note ASSUME) we would fall under the Focus group rules17:30
BasicXPBUT the current team goals include more then just beginner education17:31
AndrewMCIf we vote this up then the UY council will work out the specifics of the deal and then hold another meeting before anything is written in stone17:31
GulfstreamI think there would actually be a need for a separate UY membership service, so there isn't any inappropriate spamming17:32
AndrewMC[vote] Should we activly persue a merger with the Beginners Team?17:33
