thelinuxerwhat's an ofr council ?15:05
seiflotfy1*for15:06
thelinuxeryes that's what u wrote yesterday15:06
thelinuxerhere is the thing15:06
thelinuxeri believe in your abilities and i would seriously give u my vote in open elections15:06
thelinuxerthe case for the first council is a little different15:07
thelinuxerpeople would ask why did u put him the council ?15:07
thelinuxerbecause most people don't actually know u15:07
thelinuxeri don't think it will be a reward for the council members or anything15:07
seiflotfy1i was thinking of writing an email15:08
thelinuxerbut i don't want to cause bad morale among the team15:08
seiflotfy1and let them vote15:08
thelinuxerlook the first council is mostly there is initiate the process15:08
seiflotfy1oh i am not taling about the first council u are forming15:08
thelinuxerthey won't be the end of it15:08
thelinuxerthat*15:08
seiflotfy1i am talking after the 4 months15:08
thelinuxersure tab3an!15:08
thelinuxerall approved loco members will be able to enter the elections15:09
thelinuxerbut we will not start any voting now15:09
seiflotfy1oh15:10
thelinuxerthe council will approve the members and create the initial documents15:10
seiflotfy1can  i still write an email candidating myself15:10
thelinuxerand then we will have elections15:10
thelinuxeri think it will confuse the team15:10
thelinuxerif u want to nominate urself i think it should be something near the elections15:10
thelinuxerso u just have to wait a couple of month15:11
seiflotfy1why rnt the ppl on irc15:11
thelinuxerI tried a few times to encourage people to use irc15:11
thelinuxerbut simply people don't use it ..15:12
seiflotfy1very sad15:12
thelinuxerto be frank about the elections15:12
seiflotfy1i hope the council uses it15:12
thelinuxermost probably the members will be approved depending on their joining date and amount of activity15:13
thelinuxeri guess ur safe at the joining date point15:13
seiflotfy1the idea is i think i can help out a lot15:13
thelinuxeri know ur activity is low because ur far away and simply most of our stuff is offline15:13
seiflotfy1i get invited to each uds15:13
thelinuxeryes there is a small legal issue15:14
seiflotfy1and i have a very good relationship with jono :)15:14
thelinuxerand seriously we don't want to make exceptions15:14
seiflotfy1plus i am the first egyptian ubuntu member :)15:14
thelinuxerfor u to be able to nominate urself u have to an approved member15:14
thelinuxeryes i know all this15:14
thelinuxerbut the membership most probably will depend on ur activity in the team15:15
thelinuxerthat's what we discussed for far15:15
thelinuxeri want u to increase to contributions just a little bit15:15
thelinuxerur*15:15
thelinuxerfor people to know that ur actually part of the team15:15
thelinuxerofr instance the ubuntu arabic day we wanted to do a while ago15:15
thelinuxeru were busy at that time15:16
thelinuxercan we organize it now ?15:16
thelinuxerit will be really nice contribution and will most probably get u approved15:16
seiflotfy1yeah15:16
seiflotfy1i got more time now15:16
seiflotfy1much more time15:16
thelinuxertayeb we can arrange for a couple of days with sessions about open source projects, zeitgiest, ubuntu development15:17
thelinuxerwhatever u would like to give15:17
thelinuxerand i believe  it would a gr8 addition and will be work that be acknowledged15:18
thelinuxeri am afraid without this we would have to make an exception for u, and again we don't want to do this even for me15:18
seiflotfy1its legitimate15:18
seiflotfy1problem is i already spend most of my time doing gnome, ubuntu, kde work15:19
seiflotfy1so when i get some time off i try to stay away from computer15:19
thelinuxeri know what u mean :)15:19
thelinuxertayeb i want u to be responsible for this somehow15:19
thelinuxeri will help in the organization and u can do the talks15:19
seiflotfy1trust me its nice to be payed to do floss work but its very very exhuasting15:20
thelinuxermust be ...15:20
seiflotfy1yeah especially gnome15:24
thelinuxerseiflotfy1: anyhow ... tell me if we agree on the basics ?15:34
seiflotfy1we do15:34
thelinuxerthat we shouldn't make any exceptions15:34
seiflotfy1+115:34
thelinuxerthat's gr815:34
thelinuxeri will create a poll now to finalize this so that the council can start working15:34
thelinuxeror we will ditch the whole thing :)15:35
