[17:03] <YokoZar> Good morning then :)
[17:03] <coffeecat> I'm here
[17:03] <dholbach> pleia2, Gwaihir, YokoZar: can anyone of you chair? I might have to run a bit early
[17:03] <Gwaihir> I'm not sure if I will be here 'till the end too... :-/

[17:04] <pleia2> #topic Forums Council check in
[17:04] <YokoZar> Beat me to it pleia2 :)
[17:04] <dholbach> welcome Iowan and coffeecat :)
[17:04] <Iowan> thanks!
[17:05] <coffeecat> Thanks!
[17:05] <dholbach> How are you doing? How's life on the Forums? :)
[17:05] <pleia2> this is pretty informal, just checking in to see if there are any issues, conerns, good news :)
[17:05] <YokoZar> Still alive and kicking I presume ;) (emphasis on the kicking)
[17:05] <Iowan> Still having hardware issues, spammers, and anxiously awaiting upgrade
[17:06] <coffeecat> Agreed - issue no 1 is for upgrade to v4
[17:06] <pleia2> still coordinating that with Canonical IS? any blockers we need to help with?
[17:06] <dholbach> I haven't checked into any of the tickets recently, what's the status of the update?
[17:07] <coffeecat> Still stuck with SSO as a blocker I believe.
[17:07] <CharlesA> That was the last I saw as well, coffeecat
[17:07] <coffeecat> https://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=16733#txn-167266
[17:07] <Iowan> I'm not well versed on requirements, so dunno what issues there may be
[17:08] <coffeecat> This is a real concern. We cannot institue effctive anti-spam measures until the upgrade.
[17:08] <pleia2> well, it looks like there is activity on the ticket which is recent, so that's a plus
[17:08]  * pleia2 nods
[17:08] <coffeecat> There's been "recent activity" for > 1 year!
[17:08] <dholbach> it seems the last update was about the license of the sso plugin
[17:09] <dholbach> but that should be possible to find out, no?
[17:10] <pleia2> coffeecat: I'm trying to look at it from where we can offer help :) we can give a nudge if it's been stale for a long time but it's more difficult for us to insist that they work faster
[17:10] <pleia2> I do sympathize with spam being a major problem though
[17:10] <coffeecat> Playing Devil's Advocate here. As far as I can tell, the only person who wants SSO is Mark S. :)
[17:10] <Iowan> pleia2:  "demands" will probably have negative results.
[17:10] <YokoZar> Is the intent to have only SSO logins then?
[17:11] <YokoZar> Or does the spam control come from elsewhere
[17:11] <coffeecat> That wouodn't be feasible. Staff have to relogin conventionally before being able to do staff actrions.
[17:12] <coffeecat> The spam control we need is a plugin which is only compatible with v4 Vbulletin.
[17:12] <Iowan> There is a plugin to use the StopForumSpam database
[17:13] <pleia2> what percentage of admin time would you say is being spent handling spam now?
[17:13] <Iowan> It's what I do most of he time - and I miss 75%
[17:13] <Iowan> (or more)
[17:13] <coffeecat> I personally spent 2-4 hours per day for 14 days finding and banning toxic email domains.
[17:14] <Iowan> my connection keeps me from banning more than 200/day
[17:14] <coffeecat> :)
[17:14] <dholbach> is anyone liaising with the folks in #canonical-sysadmin directly most of the time?
[17:14] <pleia2> wow, that's unpleasant
[17:15] <Iowan> dholbach:  Iim not - I'm still underqualified in that area
[17:15] <dholbach> right now I think it might just help to join the channel and ask if anyone found out what the license of the plugin is
[17:15] <dholbach> just to keep things moving
[17:16] <dholbach> or to investigate themselves - there must be a mention of the license of the software somewhere on the web
[17:18] <dholbach> How are things looking apart from the issues mentioned earlier? What are the busiest parts of the forums right now? :)
[17:19] <coffeecat> One thing that ought to be widely known. Kudos to Mike Basinger for his work on retheming the forum > Ubuntu branding.
[17:19] <Iowan> Gotta admit, I haven't looked around lately - I tend to frequent the networking section
[17:20] <coffeecat> It lloks really fresh now - a pleasure to use. :)
[17:20] <CharlesA> Same Iowan, except I frequenty the Security, Server and Virtualization areas.
[17:20] <CharlesA> +1 coffeecat
[17:21] <coffeecat> Most sections are as busy or otherwise as always. I tend to frequent Beginners. There's a steady stream of newbies needing help.
[17:21] <CharlesA> Yep.
[17:21] <pleia2> oh yeah, technoviking's theme is great
[17:21] <dholbach> Compared to the past, did you have to resolve conflict as a council a lot in the last time? Or are things pretty calm right now?
[17:22] <Iowan> SEEMS pretty calm, ATM
[17:22] <CharlesA> Don't jinx it. :p
[17:22] <Iowan> (too late)
[17:22] <coffeecat> :)
[17:22] <dholbach> CharlesA, sure won't - just asking :)
[17:23] <pleia2> hehe
[17:23] <pleia2> oh, I love s-fox's monthly updates :)
[17:23] <dholbach> Did you approve Ubuntu members in the last few months?
[17:23] <Iowan> last month...
[17:23] <Iowan> this month's meeting got "delayed"
[17:24] <dholbach> but you still have folks who are interested in becoming members - that's great then :)
[17:24] <Iowan> Curioulsy, we've had a couple ask to have membership removed :(
[17:24] <dholbach> wow
[17:24] <dholbach> did they give any reason?
[17:25] <coffeecat> There's three pending approval. Three approved in May and 6 in March if I'm reading things correctly.
[17:25] <pleia2> they should be able to deactivate themselves
[17:25] <Iowan> One was losing interest in Linux in general, another seemed to think membership carried participation obligations
[17:25] <dholbach> ok
[17:25] <pleia2> ah, it doesn't require any participation obligations (people can even renew without being very active)
[17:26] <YokoZar> That's an interesting thing to happen
[17:26] <pleia2> but I see people get confused about it often
[17:26] <Iowan> pleia2:  I THINK we finally got that explained.
[17:26] <pleia2> that's good :)
[17:26] <Iowan> (for now)
[17:27] <pleia2> I tend to tell people it's a recognition of "good work done" rather than the promise of full time committment forever
[17:27] <dholbach> Ok, I will have to run now, but I think I asked all the questions I personally had. I wish you all the best! Keep up the good work everyone! :)
[17:27] <pleia2> of course we want people to stay active, but life and things come in, as long as you care enough to renew, that's some amount of caring
[17:27] <coffeecat> Many thanks, dholbach ! :)
[17:27] <Iowan> +1
[17:28] <pleia2> I think he asked all the questions I had too, anything else you guys would like to add?
[17:28] <Iowan> Nothing in particulat - what an FC do for YOU?
[17:28] <YokoZar> :)
[17:29] <pleia2> nothing really, we just like to check in to make sure all is running smoothly :)
[17:29] <pleia2> I'll read the ticket more thoroughly to see if there is anything we can do or suggest at this point
[17:29] <Iowan> Thanks for support!
[17:29] <YokoZar> Could the v4 upgrade happen without SSO and then SSO happen at a later time?
[17:29] <coffeecat> pleia2, thanks for that. Don't think we're ungrateful to the sysadmins.
[17:30] <coffeecat> YokoZar, YES. That's what most of the staff want, I believe.
[17:30] <pleia2> YokoZar: sabdfl has made it pretty clear that he wants SSO in this upgrade
[17:30] <YokoZar> Yes but if the upgrade is blocking on SSO and SSO is a mark thing then talking to Mark about it is the prudent thing to do
[17:31] <coffeecat> There's another point - security. V4 is going to be more secure than V3. We've already had a minor upgrade because of a very worrying security issue.
[17:31]  * pleia2 nods
[17:31] <pleia2> well, we'll see what we can do to help
[17:32] <YokoZar> Yeah.  I'm inclined to advocate going forward without SSO unless it's imminent anyway...knowing software can be "due out next week" for decades ;)
[17:32] <pleia2> thanks for coming FC folks, we appreciate that the timing wasn't very convenient for many of you
[17:33] <YokoZar> For sure.
[17:33] <Iowan> Thanks for opportunity to chat - time to head back to salt mine.
[17:33] <pleia2> #topic IRC Council poll
[17:33] <YokoZar> Time zones are the usual excuse, but we all know some of us are on a time zone far different from where the position of the sun would indicate ;)
[17:33] <coffeecat> Many thanks too. The invitation is much appreciated. And thanks for your understanding of our concersn about the upgrade.
[17:34] <pleia2> we'll be closing the poll of the IRC Members for the spot on the IRC Council in about 30 minutes, once it's closed the CC will review the poll and make an announcement to the IRC folks about their new council member
[17:34] <YokoZar> All right then
[17:34] <pleia2> then they'll be back to a fully staffed council :)
[17:34] <YokoZar> Who's actually closing the poll then?
[17:34] <pleia2> I am
[17:34] <YokoZar> Excellent :)
[17:35] <pleia2> no other updates there really
[17:35] <pleia2> #topic Any other business
[17:35] <pleia2> quick reminder, CoC review is still pending and we don't want it to get too stale, so CC members should peer at the etherpad so we can determine what else we have left to fix
[17:36] <pleia2> I think that's all I have
[17:37] <pleia2> #action pleia2 to upate minutes and wiki
[17:37] <meetingology> ACTION: pleia2 to upate minutes and wiki
[17:37] <pleia2> can someone from the CC volunteer to chair next meeting (I really can't be doing this during work), and someone to email the DMB to make sure they can attend the next meeting?
[17:38] <YokoZar> pleia2: does the pad include my branch?
[17:38] <pleia2> YokoZar: it's the one we discussed on the G+ hangout last week, I don't know
[17:38] <YokoZar> Ok, I'll follow up on that
[17:38] <pleia2> err, not hangout, we did that on IRC
[17:38] <YokoZar> and maybe update again
[17:38] <YokoZar> I'll get next meeting chair
[17:38] <pleia2> great, thanks
[17:38] <YokoZar> since, well, I think it's just you and me atm
[17:38] <YokoZar> :D
[17:38] <pleia2> yeah
[17:38] <pleia2> ok, I'll mail the list to find a chair for next week, and I can email the DMB later
[17:39] <pleia2> #action pleia2 to email the DMB about next meeting
[17:39] <meetingology> ACTION: pleia2 to email the DMB about next meeting
[17:39] <YokoZar> I can chair next meeting
[17:39] <pleia2> oh good

[22:01]  * hggdh pays attention now
[22:02] <IdleOne> alright lets get this party started
[22:02] <metasansana> woot
[22:02] <IdleOne> Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the 22:00 UTC meeting for June 21, 2012. The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards
[22:02] <IdleOne> 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.
[22:02] <IdleOne> The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO).
[22:02] <IdleOne> 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.
[22:02] <IdleOne> 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.
[22:03] <IdleOne> 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!)
[22:03] <IdleOne> Now, with any further ado, lets get started with the first applicant is rye
[22:03] <IdleOne> rye, introduce yourself :)
[22:03] <greg-g> hi there rye
[22:03] <iulian> I.e. the stage is all yours, rye.
[22:03] <rye> Hello, I am Roman Yepishev, currently working on Ubuntu One projects and had been using Ubuntu for last 9 years.
[22:04] <rye> The last 3 of which I have actually started to understand the value of the community in such a project.
[22:04] <IdleOne> rye, please provide LP link and wiki link
[22:05] <rye> My wiki page is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RomanYepishev and launchpad profile is https://launchpad.net/~rye. To some I may be known by indicator-ubuntuone project
[22:05] <cjohnston> yay for that
[22:05] <iulian> rye: Are you sure it's 9 years? That's a bit too much, isn't it?
[22:06] <rye> wait, 2006
[22:06] <mfisch> that would 6 six years
[22:06] <rye> iulian: 9 years of linux experience, 6 years of Ubuntu, you are right
[22:06] <greg-g> heh, 2012 - 9 = 2003, pre even no-name-yet.com :)
[22:07] <iulian> rye: Oh, OK.
[22:07] <greg-g> rye: is there an Ubuntu Ukraine LoCo team?
[22:08] <rye> Apart from counting dates poorely I have been extremely active (well, by my standards) during 12.04 release where I kept testing Ubuntu on every machine I had in posession leading to quite a few early fixed bugs that I am personally proud about.
[22:08] <greg-g> that's awesome
[22:09] <cjohnston> I'm proud of the indicator for you :-)
[22:09] <rye> greg-g: There is not a formal one, a disperse "community" primarily active on the web site of linux.org.ua. Upon my recent visit to OSDN.ua (open source development conference) last year I was the craziest ubuntu person there
[22:09] <greg-g> haha :)
[22:10] <greg-g> do you think there is an oppotunity for someone to take the reigns of a Ubuntu-UA and make it work?
[22:10] <rye> What means that I was asking people about how they feel about the latest release and all that.

[22:16] <rubylaser> Hi, I'm Zack Reed.  I've been on Debian/Ubuntu since Debian Woody.  I love open source and I am a very active member on the Ubuntu Forums

[22:18] <IdleOne> ?
[22:19] <iulian> rubylaser: What are your future plans for Ubuntu?
[22:19] <rubylaser> I asked CharlesA and a few other forum members to attend, I but don't see any of them in the channel :/
[22:19] <reavengrey> I'm thinking firmware rootkits to prevent lesser things like archlinux and OS/X from booting, shipped with release 12.10, idk if you guys are into that
[22:20] <rubylaser> I would love to see Ubuntu's use continue to grow especially in the corporate environment (where I work).
[22:20] <s-fox> rubylaser,  you contributions seem to be forums based, perhaps it would be easier for you to gain membership via the forum council ?

[22:30] <balloons> Hello, my name is Nicholas Skaggs. Currently, I serve as a part of the community team for Canonical with a focus on QA. My goal is to see ubuntu become a leader in quality among open source projects. I began using linux about the same time as ubuntu was beginning as a project. I found debian, and then ubuntu. It's been running on my machines ever since. My wiki page https://launchpad.net/~nskaggs and lp page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/balloons

[22:46] <trinikrono> Good Evening Everyone, my name is Kurt Belgrave and i hail from the caribbean islands called trinidad and tobago. I started to use ubuntu in 2009 and decided to get invovled in the community in 2010.
[22:46] <IdleOne> mfisch, thanks for volunteering to do that :)
[22:46] <trinikrono> this is my wikipage https://wiki.ubuntu.com/trinikrono

[22:47] <s-fox> let's finish the meeting before we edit the wiki ;)
[22:47] <trinikrono> with there LoCo teams also
[22:47] <mfisch> (sorry I made one change already)
[22:48] <iulian> trinikrono: How is it going so far?
[22:48] <trinikrono> well it is going great as far i am concerned, since when i started it was me alone
[22:49] <greg-g> trinikrono: it seems like there is some activity in the LoCo, based on the events and web accounts, do you have any plans on going to Approved LoCo status in the future?
[22:49] <trinikrono> and now i have people in the launchpad team and in a facebook group
[22:49] <iulian> trinikrono: How many are you now, roughly?
[22:49] <trinikrono> there are some issues with exposure down here as people arent used to open source projects
[22:49]  * greg-g nods
[22:49] <trinikrono> but i am getting lots of help
[22:49] <iulian> Right. That's good.
[22:49] <trinikrono> between 10-20 in the team
[22:49] <Xai> count me in
[22:50] <Xai> i'll write the tests
[22:50] <trinikrono> but the facebook group has a lot more members
[22:50]  * reavengrey is from Trinidad and Tobago
[22:50] <metasansana> me too :/
[22:50] <trinichica> Me too
[22:50] <reavengrey> I recently got to know about trinikrono 's efforts through another channel locally, which is a cyber cafe run by another very active ubuntu enthusiast
[22:51] <greg-g> interesting
[22:51] <reavengrey> Who has been doing ubuntu server installations all across the island
[22:51] <Xai> trinikrono: you look diff in your wiki compared to here in irc
[22:51] <reavengrey> As of now
[22:51] <greg-g> do you all have a loco irc channel?
[22:51] <metasansana> ubuntu tt is the only software movement seeing any success
[22:51] <trinikrono> yes it is #ubuntu-tt
[22:51] <reavengrey> Yes, #ubuntu-tt
[22:51] <reavengrey> Kurt is very driven, and he has a lot of enthusiasm which I found very interesting
[22:51] <trinikrono> yes we have some interesting things to get the irc going
[22:52] <palladin35y> me too
[22:52] <trinichica> Trinikrono is the best at Ubuntu Community support not only in Trinidad and Tobago but in the entire Caribbean. He currently helps the Ubuntu team in Dominica and even yesterday he hosted a meeting at the first Ubuntu Internet cafe in Trinidad that he helped grow. :) With his support others and myself got lots of help to use this OS and contribute
