| thelinuxer | hi seiflotfy1 | 14:13 |
| seiflotfy1 | hi thelinuxer | 15:03 |
| thelinuxer | seiflotfy1: you asked me something about the council yesterday | 15:04 |
| thelinuxer | i was away then u were away and i had to leave | 15:04 |
| thelinuxer | you want to discuss it now ? | 15:04 |
| seiflotfy1 | i want to run ofr council | 15:05 |
| thelinuxer | what's an ofr council ? | 15:05 |
| seiflotfy1 | *for | 15:06 |
| thelinuxer | yes that's what u wrote yesterday | 15:06 |
| thelinuxer | here is the thing | 15:06 |
| thelinuxer | i believe in your abilities and i would seriously give u my vote in open elections | 15:06 |
| thelinuxer | the case for the first council is a little different | 15:07 |
| thelinuxer | people would ask why did u put him the council ? | 15:07 |
| thelinuxer | because most people don't actually know u | 15:07 |
| thelinuxer | i don't think it will be a reward for the council members or anything | 15:07 |
| seiflotfy1 | i was thinking of writing an email | 15:08 |
| thelinuxer | but i don't want to cause bad morale among the team | 15:08 |
| seiflotfy1 | and let them vote | 15:08 |
| thelinuxer | look the first council is mostly there is initiate the process | 15:08 |
| seiflotfy1 | oh i am not taling about the first council u are forming | 15:08 |
| thelinuxer | they won't be the end of it | 15:08 |
| thelinuxer | that* | 15:08 |
| seiflotfy1 | i am talking after the 4 months | 15:08 |
| thelinuxer | sure tab3an! | 15:08 |
| thelinuxer | all approved loco members will be able to enter the elections | 15:09 |
| thelinuxer | but we will not start any voting now | 15:09 |
| seiflotfy1 | oh | 15:10 |
| thelinuxer | the council will approve the members and create the initial documents | 15:10 |
| seiflotfy1 | can i still write an email candidating myself | 15:10 |
| thelinuxer | and then we will have elections | 15:10 |
| thelinuxer | i think it will confuse the team | 15:10 |
| thelinuxer | if u want to nominate urself i think it should be something near the elections | 15:10 |
| thelinuxer | so u just have to wait a couple of month | 15:11 |
| seiflotfy1 | why rnt the ppl on irc | 15:11 |
| thelinuxer | I tried a few times to encourage people to use irc | 15:11 |
| thelinuxer | but simply people don't use it .. | 15:12 |
| seiflotfy1 | very sad | 15:12 |
| thelinuxer | to be frank about the elections | 15:12 |
| seiflotfy1 | i hope the council uses it | 15:12 |
| thelinuxer | most probably the members will be approved depending on their joining date and amount of activity | 15:13 |
| thelinuxer | i guess ur safe at the joining date point | 15:13 |
| seiflotfy1 | the idea is i think i can help out a lot | 15:13 |
| thelinuxer | i know ur activity is low because ur far away and simply most of our stuff is offline | 15:13 |
| seiflotfy1 | i get invited to each uds | 15:13 |
| thelinuxer | yes there is a small legal issue | 15:14 |
| seiflotfy1 | and i have a very good relationship with jono :) | 15:14 |
| thelinuxer | and seriously we don't want to make exceptions | 15:14 |
| seiflotfy1 | plus i am the first egyptian ubuntu member :) | 15:14 |
| thelinuxer | for u to be able to nominate urself u have to an approved member | 15:14 |
| thelinuxer | yes i know all this | 15:14 |
| thelinuxer | but the membership most probably will depend on ur activity in the team | 15:15 |
| thelinuxer | that's what we discussed for far | 15:15 |
| thelinuxer | i want u to increase to contributions just a little bit | 15:15 |
| thelinuxer | ur* | 15:15 |
| thelinuxer | for people to know that ur actually part of the team | 15:15 |
| thelinuxer | ofr instance the ubuntu arabic day we wanted to do a while ago | 15:15 |
| thelinuxer | u were busy at that time | 15:16 |
| thelinuxer | can we organize it now ? | 15:16 |
| thelinuxer | it will be really nice contribution and will most probably get u approved | 15:16 |
| seiflotfy1 | yeah | 15:16 |
| seiflotfy1 | i got more time now | 15:16 |
| seiflotfy1 | much more time | 15:16 |
| thelinuxer | tayeb we can arrange for a couple of days with sessions about open source projects, zeitgiest, ubuntu development | 15:17 |
| thelinuxer | whatever u would like to give | 15:17 |
| thelinuxer | and i believe it would a gr8 addition and will be work that be acknowledged | 15:18 |
| thelinuxer | i am afraid without this we would have to make an exception for u, and again we don't want to do this even for me | 15:18 |
| seiflotfy1 | its legitimate | 15:18 |
| seiflotfy1 | problem is i already spend most of my time doing gnome, ubuntu, kde work | 15:19 |
| seiflotfy1 | so when i get some time off i try to stay away from computer | 15:19 |
| thelinuxer | i know what u mean :) | 15:19 |
| thelinuxer | tayeb i want u to be responsible for this somehow | 15:19 |
| thelinuxer | i will help in the organization and u can do the talks | 15:19 |
| seiflotfy1 | trust me its nice to be payed to do floss work but its very very exhuasting | 15:20 |
| thelinuxer | must be ... | 15:20 |
| seiflotfy1 | yeah especially gnome | 15:24 |
| thelinuxer | seiflotfy1: anyhow ... tell me if we agree on the basics ? | 15:34 |
| seiflotfy1 | we do | 15:34 |
| thelinuxer | that we shouldn't make any exceptions | 15:34 |
| seiflotfy1 | +1 | 15:34 |
| thelinuxer | that's gr8 | 15:34 |
| thelinuxer | i will create a poll now to finalize this so that the council can start working | 15:34 |
| thelinuxer | or we will ditch the whole thing :) | 15:35 |
