Pendulumhaha11:28
akgranerI was going to ask you to look over my session notes for today and see if i missed anything11:29

akgranerahathaway, great edits to /BuildingCommunity  :-)  Thank you!11:43
ahathawayNP11:44
ahathawayHopefully I did not overstep11:44
akgranerno not at all11:44
jussiakgraner: your statement actually reads rather badly out of context... :P11:44
ahathawayI was not sure how much freedom to redesign I was allowed11:44
jussi[14:31:06] <akgraner> mhall119, I'll sleep when I die :-)  j/k - I got like 3-4 hours :-)  I'm happy with that11:44
jussireads like you have 3-4 hours to live... :P11:45
akgranerjussi, I would die happy then :-)  so it's all a win to me :-P11:45
jussihaha11:45
jussiakgraner: though youd leave very many unhappy people if you did that.... I forbid you to die so soon.11:46
akgranerahathaway, have at it - it's wiki pages  - if something needs to be tweaked we can just tweak them :-)  there in is the beauty11:46
jussi:D11:46
akgranerjussi, don't worry I'm not going anywhere...:-)11:46
ahathawayExcellent11:46
akgranerI'm making a list of pages that I know need updating but I need someone else to fix them - the /Teams page is a mess11:47
jussiakgraner: good. Ill kill you if you die on me :P :P :P :P11:47
akgranerHAHA11:47
ahathawayOh BTW does anyone here have a blog post or a writeup about your community building experience or any aspect of community leading?11:47
jussiakgraner: also, I beleie you owe me some questions...11:47
akgraneror at least I need to track down the right information as the leads listed on some of them are old11:47
akgranerahathaway, we have some tat we just started putting together on the leadership team11:48
akgranerbut I don't think they are pubic yet11:48
akgranerb/c people are still editing them11:48
ahathawayOK.  I am looking for personal experiences that people want to share on the build site11:48
akgranerahathaway, but let me get you the wiki page they will be added to once they are finished - this way you can link to them or just crosspost11:49
ahathawayGreat thanks11:49
akgraneryep - the leadership team is documenting 'use cases' etc around various skill sets11:49

nigelbjcastro: do you see it in summit admin?13:08
jcastroyeah13:09

james_wsure!13:12
nigelbI probably touched it last.13:12
nigelbmhall119 / james_w: I'm thinking of making launchpad.net a setting. Thoughts/oppositions?13:13
nigelbthat way we can switch it out to staging locally for testing.13:14
james_wno opposition13:14
nigelbMaybe I can get the "nigel broke summit" award from jcastro :D13:14
nigelbUgh, I wish launchpad blueprints showed me more information.13:14
mhall119nigelb: I'm okay with it, but it's not going out until after UDS13:15
jcastroI had this amazing dream that blueprints were accidentally deleted in launchpad13:15
mhall119james_w: can we do a deployment today/13:15
mhall119?13:15
jcastroand there was no way to get them back13:15
nigelbmhall119: Darn. No chance of the award then.13:15
jcastroand I cried with joy13:15
nigelbjcastro: lol13:15
mhall119jcastro: there's always the wiki13:15
nigelbjcastro: summit has invaded your dreams as well?13:15
jcastronigelb: no, launchpad did13:15
jcastroI don't know which would be a worse dream13:16
nigelbjcastro: you join the chosen elite.13:16
jcastromhall119: I think we should rename the wiki13:16
mhall119aka, the damned13:16
jcastroto "Contributor Remover"13:16
mhall119I call it the WikiWall13:16
nigelbI have nightmares about Daviey having some code in summit that's not chcked and it screwing up and us getting blamed.13:16
akgranerjcastro, you need an intervention you dream about bp, lp, lists and trello - even I don't do that...13:16
mhall119it's like the Berlin Wall13:16
jcastro"oooh, jono thinks this is a good idea, awesome, I love ubuntu, I'm in, hell yea, how do I get started? I feel empowered!" then SLAM. Right in the face.13:16
james_wmhall119, no opposition from me13:16
jcastro"Wait, you want me to USE THIS?"13:16

jcastrohttp://adnan.quaium.com/blog/239618:55
jcastrodude I totally missed this18:55
jcastro7 years!18:55
jonojcastro, yikes!19:02
jonotechnoviking, grabbing lunch, may be a few mins late for our meeting, but will strive to get back on time19:03
technovikingjono: ok19:13
jonotechnoviking, I am back in time :-)19:23
technovikingjono: hey19:24
technovikingjono: so I was looking for some insight on how to get some traction on the power users group especially about it help with Ubuntu Tweak19:30
jonosounds good19:30
jonotechnoviking, can bring me up to date on work that has happened recently?>19:30
jonoI heard some concerns that the group was stalling a littlq19:30
technovikingnone really, I brought up this idea a few times during the oneiric cycle, both in the mailing list and irc19:31
technovikingsome discussion has happened but no movement19:31
jonotechnoviking, I think what that community really wants is a sense of leadership19:32
technovikinglast we I asked for help in designed a list of action items for getting tweak in the repos19:32
jonoas in, things to work on, areas of focus19:32
jonocool19:32
technovikinghoping that maybe making it smaller bites would help19:33
jonoagreed19:33
technovikingonce again, some discussion, but no traction19:33
jonoI have a few suggestions that might be useful19:33
jonoI think the community needs to know how they can participate19:33
jonosome ideas:L19:33
jono * improvements to Ubuntu Tweak19:33
jono * creating a power user documentation resource19:34
jono * organizing some power users events (E.g. Open Week for power user related content)19:34
technovikingi have fail leading this group, due to lack of time19:34
jonodo you feel you have time now?19:34
jonoI think you can do it technoviking19:34
jonobut you will need the time for sure19:34
technovikingnot reall (can no longer work on Ubuntu community stuff at work), but would hate to see this group die19:35
technovikingI'm snecking this meeting in during lunch:)19:35
jonotechnoviking, is there another person who you feel could lead the group?19:36
technovikingi could ask the list19:36
jonoI think this is the next natural step, find someone who has the time19:36
jonogetting the group going is going to need a lot of up-front time19:36
technovikingI will ask on the list, think James Gilford would be a good person19:37
technovikingalso, I think the group may need more folks who understand the Ubuntu devel process19:38
jonoyeah19:38
jonowell I think you want to evaluate who could be the next successor19:38
jonowho has the time, positive mentality, and leadership skills to help lead the community19:38
jonomaybe once that person is in place we can start discussing next steps?19:39
technovikingI will ask the list, could you blog about it and maybe get some interested in leading this group19:40
jonowell, I am not sure if I should blog about it as I don't want folks to think that I am leading it - there has been some mis-conceptions there19:42
jonoI recommend you find a leader and then that person reaches out to planet and brings people in19:42
jonoand then I point to that19:42
jonomake sense?19:43
technovikingsounds good19:43
technovikingI will work on that and ping you if I need anymore feedback19:46
jonothanks technoviking - I just want to make sure that I don't steal any thunder from the new leader19:46
jonothanks, technoviking, let me know if I can help with anything else19:46
technovikingwill do19:47
jcastro+1 to asking James to do it19:50
jcastrohe did a decent job working on the quicklists, he's motivated, going for membership tomorrow, etc.19:50
jonoawesome19:53
jonotechnoviking, let me know how you get on, happy to talk with the new leader and help19:53
jonojcastro, can we start now?19:56
jcastroNO. FOUR MINUTES.19:57
jcastroj/k sure19:57
jono:-)19:57
jcastrog+ me!19:57
