The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas [00:06] We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. [00:06] The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). [00:06] Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions. [00:06] During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote. [00:07] When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the sum of those numbers is positive, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!) [00:07] Now, with any further ado, lets get started with the first applicant... [00:07] It looks like caravena isn't here [00:07] bladernr_: are you here? [00:07] Yep [00:08] great! [00:08] Hi :) [00:08] * hggdh cheers for bladernr_ [00:08] ready? [00:08] #topic Application of bladernr_ for Membership === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Application of bladernr_ for Membership [00:08] please introduce yourself :) [00:08] Hi, I'm Jeff. I've been a linux user since the mid-90s, and ubuntu since 8.04. I currently do a lot of filing, triaging and resolving bugs that involve Checkbox and subsequently the Ubuntu Friendly program. I'm also one of the Checkbox developers and write patches and test scripts for that. I focus a lot on testing Ubuntu on server hardware and writing test cases for servers. I've led several sessions and UDS over [00:08] the last couple years relating to certificaiton and server interests. I also like to help out with QA, especially with ISO testing, filing bugs related to that effort and trying to make Ubuntu better for users. I try to view things from the viewpoint of the first time Linux user when I test. I tend to stick more to mailing lists than forums just because keeping up with forums can quickly get out of control! I previ [00:08] ously taught Intro to Linux at the local Community College as a way to give back to the community, and I always gave my students Ubuntu CDs to use.o/ I'm also a Ham and a member of Ubuntu Hams and doing testing and such with Ubuntu on ARM. [00:08] Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JeffLaneyes [00:08] :) [00:08] "That Guy Who Forced a Respin of Lucid on Release Day" hah! :D [00:09] that should have been https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JeffLane sorry for the borked link [00:09] * hggdh remembers this episode [00:09] this past weekend I did my first iso testing *and* bought a laptop partially based off a good score on Ubuntu Friendly :) [00:09] yay! [00:10] I like community review sites like that. I used to live off linux-laptops.net when it was regularly updated. [00:10] I'm glad people find UF useful [00:11] * skaet appreciates his ISO testing work too. :) [00:11] skaet, thanks :) it's fun... I like breaking things [00:11] thanks for having such a thorough wiki page! [00:11] I don't really have any questions [00:12] me neither, good wiki page :) [00:12] took me a while to scan it all :) [00:12] Thangs pleia2, greg-g I usually worry about being too verbose [00:12] I tend to be set on -vvv [00:12] hehe [00:12] bladernr_: I'm a fan of verbose, I was an Anthropology undergrad ;) [00:12] (which means I read way too many overly verbose explanations of things) [00:13] okay, I think we're ready to vote now [00:14] #voters elky greg-g pleia2 Pendulum cyphermox [00:14] Current voters: Pendulum beuno cyphermox elky greg-g pleia2 [00:14] +1 [00:14] oh [00:14] hehe [00:14] pleia2: haven't started the vote yet :P [00:14] #vote Vote on Membership for Jeff Lane [00:14] Please vote on: Vote on Membership for Jeff Lane [00:14] Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (private votes don't work yet, but when they do it will be by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to me) [00:14] +1 [00:14] +1 received from Pendulum [00:14] +1 [00:14] +1 received from greg-g [00:14] +1 [00:14] +1 received from elky [00:15] ooh i wonder what pleia2 will choose [00:15] +1 [00:15] +1 received from pleia2 [00:15] :P [00:15] I got excited [00:15] hehe [00:15] +1 [00:15] +1 received from cyphermox [00:15] #endvote [00:15] Voting ended on: Vote on Membership for Jeff Lane [00:15] Votes for:5 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 [00:15] Motion carried [00:16] Congratulations bladernr_!

[00:17] Here [00:17] #topic Stephen Kellat for Membership === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Stephen Kellat for Membership [00:17] YAY SKELLAT! :D [00:17] Hello, my name is Stephen Michael Kellat and I am the Head Writer at Erie Looking Productions. [00:17] I produce the weekly podcast for the Ohio LoCo and try to serve as a resource within the LoCo for experience with more exotic architectures like the SheevaPlug and BeagleBoard. [00:18] I am also fairly active on my LoCo's e-mail list and have not had luck with efforts to reinvigorate our forum presence. [00:18] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/skellat [00:18] And he's a active Ohio LoCo guy. :) [00:18] Harder for him as well since he's out in the middle of nowhere. [00:18] skellat: ooh, can I lure you over to doing some Xubuntu ISO testing before our beta2? :) [00:19] pleia2: Quite possibly now that I've got a chip I can swap for the current one. My BeagleBoard is on Xubuntu 11.10 as is. [00:19] Unit193: Ashtabula isn't the middle of nowhere. It's just the extreme outer fringe geographically of the State of Ohio. :-) [00:20] skellat, Unit193: Same difference ;) [00:21] jrgifford: What can I say? We've got a big state and LoCo members who are very far flung throughout it. [00:21] (Going off member placement map) [00:21] skellat: just wondering why there aren't any testimonials on your wiki? I know Ohio is hard place for people, but.. ;) [00:21] OH dangit, did I forget to write mine in?! crap. [00:21] greg-g: jrgifford and unit193 chose to attend in-person tonight [00:21] * greg-g nods [00:21] Yes it did. [00:22] skellat: How often does the podcast come out? (there aren't dates on the episodes) [00:23] Normally weekly. There was a death in the family Sunday and my day job had an all-night work event so there isn't an episode for the 12th. [00:23] consider my presence a testimonial please. :) He's been doing stuff in the loco, is active on the mailing list and is a friendly guy. [00:23] thanks jrgifford :) [00:23] When paultag and I first set up the podcast posting form on the team's drupal site we didn't choose to go with dates but instead episode numbers. [00:23] Unlike Ubuntu UK's program, we don't have it divided into seasons [00:24] * greg-g nods [00:25] Pendulum: We've had multiple calls for feedback from around the state to air. If I get it, it airs. With everybody spread out so much it gets a bit hard planning out shows. [00:27] * jokerdino joins the meeting, without much purpose and reason though.

[00:34] it seems to be a common theme that people are surprised that wendar isn't a member already [00:34] greg-g: glad to help :) [00:34] Pendulum: no worries [00:34] wendar: I don't really have any substantial questions un/fortunately [00:34] :) [00:35] * stgraber waves and highly recommends a +1 for wendar [00:35] wendar: What's your favourite thing to do outside of your tech work? [00:36] * skaet waves and echoes stgraber's +1 ;) [00:36] Pendulum: Hmmm... it's a toss up between watching English mysteries, baking gluten-free tasty treats, and astrophysics. [00:36] * ajmitch has already put his +1 on the wiki :) [00:37] Baking and astrophysics. I think you just won The Internet.

[00:44] #topic Membership for Vibhav Pant === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Membership for Vibhav Pant [00:44] (and sorry for the delay) [00:44] vibhav: please introduce yourself [00:44] ok [00:44] Hi everybody, I am Vibhav Pant, a 14 year old padwan living in Dehradun, India [00:45] I have been using Ubuntu since 6.10, but got the hang of Ubuntu from 7.04 [00:45] wendar: congrats [00:45] I have been translating Ubuntu to Hindi for the past 6 months and have recently started traanslation for en_GB [00:45] (but thats simply cupy paste) [00:45] copy* [00:46] I have collaborated with fellow Hindi Translators to start a translation Drive to rectify common translation errors and got massive response [00:47] We are also working on improving the Wiki page and creating a list of replacemnet words for Hindi [00:47] Which can be seen on my Wiki Page [00:47] Apart from Translation [00:48] I fix small few bugs (typos and bugs fixed upstream but not brought into Ubuntu) [00:49] I also work on "Needs Packaging" and RFP bugs in Ubuntu\Debian and often package software that seems interesting to me [00:49] I have converted 6 friends to Ubuntu [00:49] and 1 of them uses it exclusively [00:49] Is this translation drive documented anywhere? [00:49] Mailing List [00:50] Could you link to it please? [00:50] sure [00:51] lemme see [00:51] https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-l10n-hi/msg0003 [00:51] Well, en -> en translations are more than copy/paste. Trash/Garbage, Color/Colour, etc... [00:52] yes [00:52] I forgot to mention that though [00:52] hmmm, that link doesn't work for me [00:52] https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-l10n-hi/msg00031.html [00:52] I also test pre-release ISOs on Ubuntu for Papercuts and bugs [00:53] And try to fix them if they are easy [00:53] https://docs.google.com/document/d/14jM_vGDcBbio7ITwY_Q7JNW15eO5vrzjDWafnjehDns/edit [00:54] ^ are replacement words [00:54] I am currently learning python, which I would use for Ubuntu Development sooner [00:54] I am also working to be a MOTU [00:55] vibhav: can you tell me more about what you've done for that? [00:56] for instance, who you've worked with, packages you've touched; very briefly, since we're not really here to give membership based on development work :) [00:56] I know [00:57] I have packaged shc, unity-lens-bliss and indicators which are waiting approval in Debian\REVU [00:57] I am currently working on packaging ecere and sending it to Debian [00:58] have you worked with anybody on this so far or has it been mostly on your own? [00:58] dholbach [00:58] and tumbleweed [00:59] good [00:59] But I am focusing more on fixing bugs than translating softwareb :) [01:01] I meant packaging software and not translating it [01:01] vibhav, Why do you want to be an Ubuntu member? [01:01] It feels nice to be recognized memeber of the community [01:02] vibhav: While we recognize that you've done quite a bit of translations work, if you can wait a little longer, a few months maybe to build up your experience and community work, please come back then. And, of course, if you're planning on going for MOTU that may be a more appropriate path to membership. [01:03] experience in terms of? [01:03] vibhav: if you have any questions about this, please feel free to email Ubuntu-membership-boards@lists.ubuntu.com [01:03] Knowing your limits is kind of important, too. Needing to keep a member banned from #ubuntu to stop them trying to give tech support is really not something we want to have to do. [01:03] that goes to all membership review board members for all regions, just fyi [01:04] But didn't I collaborate (As I was said to do earlier)? [01:05] vibhav: thank you for listening to our advice, but we feel you should wait a while longer and work with people a little more closely. Again, if you have any questions, feel free to email us after the meeting [01:05] okay, moving on [01:05] ChrisGagnon: are you here? [01:05] Pendulum: hi [01:05] vibhav, I am encouraged by your interest in packaging and bug fixing, you sought out the help of great people like dholbach and tumbleweed. i still believe you need to work longer. this is my personal opinion, but I do look forwrd to the day I can attend a meeting and give the board my +1 for your membership. Please keep up the good work. [01:05] #topic Chris Gagnon for Membership === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Chris Gagnon for Membership [01:05] ChrisGagnon: Please introduce yourself [01:06] ork for Canonical as a QA engineer in the mainstream group. [01:06] oops [01:06] I work for Canonical as a QA engineer in the mainstream group. [01:06] Started using Linux in 1998. My linux progression went from Redhat -> Mandrake -> Gentoo -> Ubuntu. I started using Kubuntu in 2006 and regular Ubuntu starting with 11.04, because I like unity-2d. [01:06] "mainstream"? [01:07] It's part of the professional services engineering group [01:07] gotcha [01:07] I just thought Ubuntu was already "mainstream" :) [01:07] hah it is [01:08] :) [01:08] so, the only one in your loco's irc channel, eh?

[15:04] [TOPIC] Question and Answer Session === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Question and Answer Session [15:04] . [15:04] to get things started... [15:04] Anyone against moving the meeting from 1600 to 1500 UTC for the remainder of the DST period (summer basically)? For the skew period, we'll have it at 1500 UTC at a minimum, so not to be too obnoxious to the Europeans [15:04] ? [15:04] * skaet reminds folks to show hands now if they have questions, they can be queued up. :) [15:04] Fine with me. [15:04] +1 for 1500 UTC during summer [15:04] \o [15:04] doesn't affect me at all (we don't do DST) [15:04] -1 (clash with scrum) [15:04] +1 1500UTC [15:05] +1 [15:05] +1 [15:05] +0 makes little difference to me [15:05] brendand, just during the transition skew or through entire period? [15:05] +0 slightly harder for me, but not the end of the world. [15:06] +0, dunno which cjwatson would prefer :) [15:06] skaet, having trouble doing the numbers in my head :P [15:06] skaet, i'll manage [15:06] brendand, great. thanks. [15:06] +1 [15:07] ok, I'll move it on the schedule going forward, we'll go back to 1600 after the summer ends. [15:07] skaet, i assume you mean "US summer" there [15:07] just FTR, mvoing to 1500 UTC should mean that the local time doesn't change at all [15:07] (since I noticed some people seem to have meeting conflcits) [15:08] ScottK, go ahead now, I've got a bunch of questions lined up, but you had your hand up first. [15:08] :) [15:08] I'd like to discuss last night's archive breakage, bug 934593, and wouldn't this better just wait until next cycle given where libpython/python are on multiarch? [15:08] Launchpad bug 934593 in python-defaults (Ubuntu) "python-all-dev, python-dev must be Arch: any for multiarch" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/934593 [15:08] pitti, in this two week period (each end) when the US moves before/after us there might be [15:08] slangasek: ^^^ === dbarth_ is now known as dbarth [15:08] apw, daylight savings time (europe + US) over wider skew period. ;) [15:08] I think this change would work if all buildds start building the package at the same time, but indeed it seems that it doesn't gain us much at this point? [15:08] Given doko's comments on the bug, I'm not sure what the benefit is of this? [15:08] pitti: I agree. [15:09] ScottK: it was clearly a case for an FFe from my POV, the upload took me by surprise [15:09] but the benefit is that it enables cross-installation of build-deps for a large swath of core packages [15:09] Even with the libpython issue? [15:09] I'm not sure [15:10] but that's why it's *theoretically* worth pursuing an FFe for [15:10] If the change is timed for when the bulidd's are idle, I think it's low risk, but the benefit ought to be sorted out before we try it again.
