thelinuxerenta 3amel eih ?15:11
ashamsTamam el7amdo lellah15:12
ashamsI barely saw your ping after meting15:12
ashamsIt was already shutting down15:12
ashams:)15:12
thelinuxerashams: np I would have attended law kont 3aref eno el meeting 7aye7sal ..15:13
thelinuxerbas 7'adt baly we howa beye7'las :D15:14
ashamsyeah, I was there hopeless that ppl will show up :-)15:15
thelinuxerlol15:15
thelinuxeri have a small comment btw ...15:15
ashamsshooooot15:15
thelinuxerashams: the last meeting was just a repetition of what the community agreed upon in our last meeting ... am I correct ?15:16
ashamsthelinuxer, almost yes15:16
thelinuxerashams: theny15:16
thelinuxer* ?15:16
ashamsbut yo know, we can not go ahead without thier confirmation15:16
ashamsI could just use their agree on it to go ahead15:17
thelinuxerok here is y I am saying this ...15:17
ashamsbut I can't, until they discuss it15:18
ashamsthey need to *lively* confirm it15:18
ashamsin a meeting :-)15:18
thelinuxerwhat does lively mean ?15:18
thelinuxerbos15:18
ashams= they should say *Yes* let's do it or let's wait15:19
ashamswhat?15:19
ashamswhat?15:19
ashamswhat?15:19
thelinuxerfor instance having a detailed membership process is more important that discussing what FG we should have, am I right ?15:19
ashamsyeppers15:19
ashamsbut in all cases, I guess, we r going to deploy all at once15:19
ashamswe can not discuss a 2nd level idea without discussing it's parent15:20
thelinuxerthis is not a 2nd level idea ...15:21
thelinuxerand the parent idea has been discussed before ...15:21
thelinuxeralso the parent idea can be abstract15:22
thelinuxerwithout going into details, talama mafeesh dependency ya3ny15:22
ashamsman, I needed to re-discuss how council members can be elected, what if they chosen to make it a group of elected leaders of FGs?15:23
ashamsI think, one idea may need to be discussed a couple of times before things get ready15:24
thelinuxerI am not talking about this part! I am talking about discussing the different FGs15:25
thelinuxerhow many should we have15:25
thelinuxerthe difference between PR and marketing ..etc15:25
ashamsone sec15:25
ashamsAlanBell, Welcome :-)15:27
AlanBellthere you go :)15:27
ashamsAlanBell, Thanks :-)15:28
thelinuxerhi AlanBell15:28
AlanBellhi o/15:28
AlanBellhey HazRPG o/15:28
ashamsthelinuxer, what you mean with with, "different FGs", sorry15:29
thelinuxeri alrady said it!15:30
thelinuxertoo many details15:31
thelinuxerur discussing how many should we have15:31
thelinuxerwhat groups should be merged in what ...15:31
thelinuxerthese stuff doesn't need double approvals especially now15:31
ashamsok15:31
thelinuxerand of course it's always subject to change according to every groups state15:31
thelinuxerand is expected to be dynamic to allow freedom in the groups15:32
thelinuxerhere is why i saying this15:32
thelinuxerwe only have 2-3 month left15:32
ashamsyeah15:32
thelinuxerand we should start accepting members15:32
thelinuxerwe have enough members for the elections at least15:33
ashamsyes15:33
thelinuxerso this can be prepared quickly and the process should start15:33
ashamsso, would you help me with the agenda for next time?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/Meetings/Agendas/2012-02-1015:33
thelinuxerand the council will review the applications privately (if you want it like this)15:33
thelinuxerashams: momken 2a2ool 7aga men 3'eer matdereb :D ?15:34
ashamsthelinuxer, I can't promise ;)15:34
thelinuxeremsa7ha :D15:34
thelinuxeri guess we have a draft for the membership process15:34
thelinuxerwe can adjust it a little bit and send it to the council15:35
* ashams looking for it15:35
thelinuxerthen discuss it in the meeting and announce the first membership meeting date15:35
ashamsthelinuxer, myself, I object that membership method :)15:36
thelinuxerwhat method ?!15:36
thelinuxerhowa feeh method aslan :D15:36
ashamsI mean, gain membership to nominate yourself15:36
ashamsI love nomination to be very open to public15:37
thelinuxerthen y did u agree on it in the first place ?15:37
ashamsWazery, Welcome15:37
ashamscrap15:37
ashamsah, that's embarrassing15:38
ashams:-)15:38
thelinuxerwhat's embarrassing ?15:38
ashamsI can't remember actually, if I argeed or not15:38
thelinuxeri guess we discussed this thoroughly and said we will do it to prevent random voting15:39
thelinuxerand it's the same as the normal ubuntu-membership process15:39
thelinuxeru HAVE to be a member to vote15:39
ashamsman, it's just a LOCO15:40
ashamsit's not a big thing15:40
ashamsand we should be encouraging15:40
ashamsto participate in everything15:40
ashamsit's not very necessary that ppl join the council be thoroughly chosen15:41
thelinuxerso what if someone was brought 10 of his friends to vote for him even if he hadn't participated in anything , would that be cool for u ?15:41
ashamsbut I think, it's very vital that everyone can participate in alomst everythin15:41
ashamsthelinuxer, of course nooooo15:42
thelinuxerbas i rest my case ..15:42
ashamsbut closing it is not a very good solution too15:43
thelinuxerbos ...15:43
thelinuxerpeople has to be part of the community if they want to nominate themselves to be council members, i guess this is simple enough as a rule ... right ?15:43
ashams"part of the community" is 3ebara mattata :)15:44
ashamswhy not, join an FG to be able to nominate for council ?15:45
thelinuxeris the rule right or wrong ? answer this so i can complete ...15:45
ashamsRight15:45
thelinuxercool15:45
thelinuxerand here is the part where we need to define the "part of the community"15:46
ashamsmeetingology, hi :-)15:46
meetingologyashams: Error: "hi" is not a valid command.15:46
ashamshehehehe :-)15:46
thelinuxerit can be 6 month members in an FG15:46
ashamsyes15:46
thelinuxermembership*15:46
ashamsyes15:46
thelinuxerit can be some online work with facebook bla bla15:46
thelinuxerand so on15:46
ashamsyes15:46
thelinuxerthis is the definition that needs to be created15:46
thelinuxerand i totally against being able to nominate yourself once you join a group!15:47
ashamssureeeeeeeeeeeeee15:47
thelinuxerTAB BENER3'Y FE EIH TALAMA SURE :D15:47
ashamswon't this replace membership process?15:47
ashamswhy we need membership, if so?15:48
ashams((Poker Face))15:48
ashamswe can have voting inside FGs too15:48
thelinuxerok here is the final part "applying for membership"15:48
thelinuxeris this the part ur against ?15:48
ashamsok, go ahead15:48
ashamsyes, somehow, membership restricts some natural rights of everyone15:49
thelinuxernope it doesn't15:49
ashamsVOTING15:49
thelinuxeri think we're going in circles here ...15:49
ashamsme too15:50
ashamsbut which circle, i can't find15:50
ashams:)15:50
thelinuxershould we or should we not allow everybody to vote ? by everybody I mean anyone who can reach the voting link15:50
thelinuxerwithout any kind of restriction ..15:50
thelinuxercause this is what ur asking for ..15:50
ashamsshould not15:50
thelinuxerand this is what u just just said a few minutes ago that ur against15:51
ashamsno15:51
thelinuxerso naturally we should restrict voting15:51
thelinuxerto a selective set15:51
ashamsno15:51
ashamsno15:51
ashamsbos15:51
ashamsit needs to be naturally open15:51
ashamsnot naturally restricted15:51
ashamslike, you can vote if you're active in any fg15:52
ashamsjoining fg, is almost open15:52
ashamswith showing history, or experience15:52
ashamsyou remeber when you agreed on15:53
ashamsremember15:53
ashamson the bug control style of accepting members15:53
ashamsquestions you answer and send to the whole team, they look at it, then in a certain period, they + or -115:54
ashamssee, it's open :-)15:54
ashamsr u okay?15:55
thelinuxerjust trying to understand/remember ..15:55
ashamswell, I got a semi-heart attack after watching ppl's assembly too :-(15:56
thelinuxerexpected, lets not get distracted ..15:56
thelinuxerbos I guess you're mixing stuff together .15:56
ashamsI like to do so...15:57
thelinuxerseif suggested that the process to be in private to avoid embarrassments for the applicant15:57
ashamsyeah I +1 this too15:57
thelinuxerand he suggested that there should be some mentor to guide the applicant through the process to save council time15:57
ashamsthat would be FG members15:58
thelinuxerthen the council will +1 / -115:58
thelinuxerit doesn't matter15:58
ashamsstop15:58
thelinuxerit can be anyone with experience about the process15:58
ashamsyou're talking about the membership process, right15:58
ashams?15:58
thelinuxeryes ..15:59
ashamsI'm talking about denyin that idea as a whole15:59
ashamsthen making use of ppl already in fgs15:59
thelinuxeri know ya shams and that's y it' getting freakishly weird cause we had this conversation over and over again ...15:59
ashamsyeah16:00
ashamsok ,go ahead plz16:00
thelinuxeru agreed on this process in a meeting with other people with us!16:00
ashamsI remade my mind16:00
thelinuxerthen it looks like i made a mistake by not entering the council :)16:01
thelinuxeri thought we agreed on this and expected the opposition to come from anyone else16:01
ashamsthat's what I was saying about a month ago16:01
thelinuxersaying what ?16:02
ashamsthelinuxer, you should join it16:02
ashamsman, I believe there can be no 2 opinions if ppl talk16:02
ashamsso, I'll define why I don't like it16:03
ashamsand will send the whole thing to the public ml16:03
ashamsok?16:03
thelinuxerno don't16:03
thelinuxerit will cause a lot of confusion 3ala el fady16:03
ashamsthat would cause a fuss16:03
ashams:)16:03
ashamsso, to council ml?16:03
thelinuxertell u what ...16:04
thelinuxerit's your responsibility now (+ other council members)16:04
thelinuxeri have nothing to do with it16:04
ashamshehehehe16:04
ashamswhat is that16:04
ashamsthat's wrong16:05
thelinuxerno it's not16:05
ashamsI don't have responsibility......16:05
ashams:)16:05
thelinuxeri chose not to be with the council to avoid enforcing anything on the community16:05
thelinuxeri was only pushing stuff forward to accelerate the process16:06
ashamschapeau16:06
thelinuxerbut if we don't agree about the process then I have nothing more to do16:06
ashamsdude, is not the whole thing about, who can be nominated and who can vote?16:07
ashamsjust making sure I'm not talking in another subject16:08
ashamson*16:08
thelinuxerr u pointing out the point where we can't agree ?16:08
ashamsyes :)16:09
ashamsthelinuxer, why you prefer the idea of membership process over "fg membership grants voting right"?16:09
thelinuxerif course yes ..16:10
ashamswhy?16:10
ashamswhy?16:10
ashamswhy?16:10
ashamswhy?16:10
thelinuxerbecause we said FG will be completely open, anyone can create any FG16:10
thelinuxerwith some exceptions for specific FGs16:10
thelinuxerso joining will be open for most groups16:11
ashamsah, now I seeeeeeeeeee16:11
thelinuxerso we will be opening the voting thing for everyone16:11
ashamsthat's a very good point16:11
thelinuxerna3am ya a7'oooooooooooya !!!w16:12
