[19:10] <IdleOne> IRCC no meeting today?
[19:11]  * genii-around makes more coffee and waits
[19:11] <io> IdleOne: there's an IRC council meeting and gaming team meeting on the calendar
[19:13] <IdleOne> doesn't look like the irc council is around
[19:13] <io> IdleOne: the IRC council meeting seems to be 14 minutes late, though
[19:14] <IdleOne> happens.
[20:27] <jussi> o/
[20:28]  * genii-around sips
[20:28] <tsimpson> \o
[20:28] <jussi> excellent
[20:28] <jussi> Lets just do this informally, as we dont have quorum, but the others can decide via the ML
[20:29] <jussi> genii-around: so, lets have it :=)
[20:31] <genii-around> Well, most of the pertinent information is on the wiki of course.. 1 moment for the URL
[20:31] <genii-around> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kaulbach
[20:32] <jussi> genii-around: please give a small summary about you and your involveent in the ubuntu community
[20:33] <genii-around> Ah, OK. I have been giving assistance primarily in #kubuntu for a number of years now, an op also in several. I am a member of the ubuntu Canada LoCo Team and am promoting Ubuntu locally with release-parties.
[20:35] <jussi> genii-around: Just one question so far, how many people have you had attending these release parties?
[20:36] <genii-around> jussi: The first one for Lucid we had about 12-15 people. I missed the Maverick release. Natty it increaqsed somewhat to about 20-25. i am hoping with proper promotion it can get to 50 or more for Oneiric
[20:37] <jussi> genii-around: awesome. And how large a deployment of xubuntu did you get?
[20:38] <genii-around> jussi: So far we have deployed Xubuntu on about 40 machines. There are about a thousand which we have available
[20:39] <genii-around> At the Toronto FreeNet, where i volunteer, we also use Ubuntu on several machines in our office which people can come in and learn on
[20:39] <jussi> genii-around: do you have any supporters here to cheer for you?
[20:40] <jussi> Any of the ops who wish to say something positive on genii-around's behalf?
[20:40] <genii-around> jussi: Not sure, i did nopt specifically ask anyone to attend
[20:41]  * LjL hugs genii-around and cheers
[20:41] <genii-around> I just now asked in #kubuntu-offtopic, but on Sunday afternoon who knows :)\
[20:41] <IdleOne> I am here
[20:42] <genii-around> :)
[20:42] <IdleOne> I 100% support genii-around for membership.
[20:42] <jussi> LjL: any positive/negative comments regarding genii-around's membership application?
[20:42] <LjL> i don't really know much of genii's ubuntu-related activities though. i can say he's good peoples though :)
[20:42] <jussi> right. tsimpson, thoughts?
[20:43] <tsimpson> speaking from personal experience, I'm all for membership for genii-around
[20:43] <jussi> genii-around: Well, based on what I read on your wiki and here, and what I have seen with my own eyes, Im ready to +1 this.
[20:43] <eagles0513875> i would like to support genii-around for his ubuntu membership bid :D
[20:43] <tsimpson> and it's extra special as it's the first IRC membership
[20:44] <jussi> So with that, lets pass it to the list shall we?
[20:44] <IdleOne> yay! genii-around is #1
[20:44] <eagles0513875> \o/ :D
[20:44] <jussi> tsimpson: would you mind putting something wrt to this on the wiki/TR? I can write the mail to the list.
[20:44] <eagles0513875> shame the list cant be bypassed genii-around great guy and knows his stuff.
[20:45] <genii-around> I just asked again in our LoCo channel for supporters, dscassel the head of Ubuntu Canada did already write a good review on my wiki of course
[20:45] <tsimpson> jussi: I'll just get a ticket and other councillors can vote
[20:45] <jussi> eagles0513875: we need to have quorum, (3 members saying +1). Hence it going to the ircc list/tracker
[20:45] <jussi> tsimpson: yeah
[20:46] <tsimpson> genii-around: you can encourage people to mail the ircc with support until we get a vote together :)
[20:46] <eagles0513875> ahh ok :D
[20:46] <jussi> Anyway, I do declare this "meeting" over
[20:46] <LjL> nice to meet you
[20:46] <eagles0513875> jussi: mind if i start another discussion / meeting here
[20:46] <genii-around> I'd like to thank everyone for their consideration in this.
[20:47] <jussi> eagles0513875: I would expect you to go look at the calendar and see if there is somethign else on
[20:47] <eagles0513875> my bad
[20:47]  * IdleOne hopes genii-around won't let membership go to his head and stop making coffee for us (when it is officially approved)
[20:47] <IdleOne> :-)
[20:48] <tsimpson> IdleOne: nah, he'll just start serving it in Official Ubuntu Mugs ;)
[20:48] <eagles0513875> IdleOne: hehe agreed on that
[20:48] <eagles0513875> jussi: there is an ubuntu gaming meeting O_op
[20:48] <eagles0513875> in bout 10 min
[20:48] <IdleOne> We get mugs?
[20:48] <tsimpson> "virtual" mugs
[20:48]  * IdleOne emails rt@canonical.com for his mug
[20:49] <IdleOne> oh :(
[20:49] <tsimpson> ones that don't actually do well with liquids...
[20:49]  * eagles0513875 slides IdleOne his big virtual mug
[20:49] <jussi> could probably now move elsewhere...
[20:49] <IdleOne> right
[20:50]  * genii-around makes more coffee, of course
[21:35] <io> 3
[21:46] <BluesKaj> hiyas
[21:54] <BluesKaj> I'd like put in a positive opnion about genii's application for Ubuntu Membership . He's been a tremendous help for everyone needing it, and his patient attitude and encouragement to those wanting to learn linux/(k)ubuntu makes him a very a strong and deserving candidate.
[21:59] <IdleOne> BluesKaj: the "meeting" is over but you can email the IRCC and give your +1 see /msg ubottu appeals for a email address
[22:00] <IdleOne> they still haven't taken a final vote on it so I think you should email :)
[22:02] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, IRCC ..email ?
[22:02] <IdleOne> IRC Council
[22:04] <BluesKaj> what's the email address , IdleOne ?
[22:04] <IdleOne> looking for it
[22:04] <BluesKaj> ok thanks
[22:05] <IdleOne> BluesKaj: see PM
[22:05] <BluesKaj> Iwas away for a few hrs , so otherwise I would have posted this earlier
[22:10] <io> BluesKaj: the link that ubottu gave shows ircc-appeals@ubuntu.com as the email address
[22:10] <io> well, it actually shows ircc-appeals@ubottu.com but I'm guessing that is a typing error
[22:21] <BluesKaj> lo, thanks , IdleOne dug the address up for me.
[22:21] <BluesKaj> lo I pm'd you with the address
