| drkokandy | I remember a day when Slideshare didn't require you to share your Facebook or LinkedIn information to download a presentation | 23:17 |
| skellat | drkokandy: It shouldn't require that | 23:18 |
| skellat | drkokandy: Do you have a valid address on LP? I'll e-mail it to ya really quick if you wish. | 23:19 |
| drkokandy | It does. I can either log in with Facebook, log in with LinkedIn, or sign in with an existing account. if you go to register a new account, I have only 2 options - connect with Facebook or connect with LinkedIn | 23:19 |
| drkokandy | I might? | 23:19 |
| skellat | What's your LP username? | 23:20 |
| skellat | LP: Launchpad | 23:20 |
| drkokandy | yes, it is confirmed | 23:21 |
| drkokandy | drkokandy, same as here | 23:21 |
| skellat | Cool | 23:21 |
| skellat | Subject line should say "Slides for tonight" and the attachment is named Business.pdf | 23:22 |
| drkokandy | thanks, I have it | 23:22 |
| skellat | I've got my copy printed out sitting next to me | 23:22 |

| * skellat notes the final puzzle is up on Wheel of Fortune | 23:25 | |
| SonikkuAmerica | What's the category? | 23:25 |
| skellat | No, final contestant. She missed it. Puzzle was "Make A Vow" and she lost out on winning $35k | 23:26 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dang. | 23:27 |
| skellat | Okay, I call the clock as 7:30 PM | 23:30 |
| skellat | Are we ready for tonight's meeting? | 23:30 |
| * drkokandy is present and ready | 23:30 | |
| skellat | Raise your hand if you are attending tonight's meeting | 23:30 |
| skellat | o/ | 23:31 |
| drkokandy | o/ | 23:31 |
| skellat | Alrighty. Since there is no set requirement for quorum in Ubuntu Ohio we can begin and people can join in as they find they are able. | 23:32 |
| skellat | Good evening friends and welcome to the June 2013 business meeting for Ubuntu Ohio. | 23:32 |
| skellat | It will be very handy to have the slide deck either open or printed out so you can follow along in tonight's proceedings. You can reach the slides on slideshare at http://www.slideshare.net/alpacaherder/ohio-lo-co-june-2013-business-meeting | 23:32 |
| jenni | [ Ubuntu Ohio June 2013 Business Meeting ] - http://j.mp/ZZ7nsy | 23:32 |
| skellat | Jono Bacon, the Ubuntu Community Manager, was invited to tonight's proceedings but had to pass on the invitation. I note from the outset that I am adding an item under "Any Other Business" relative to the story today in Ars Technica concerning the new Carrier Advisory Group for Ubuntu Phone. SEE: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/06/ubuntu-phone-os-has-eight-carriers-signed-on-to-boost-development/ | 23:32 |
| jenni | [ Ubuntu phone OS has eight carriers signed on to boost development | Ars Technica ] - http://j.mp/14IJAyw | 23:32 |
| skellat | Other items may be raised during "Any Other Business" | 23:33 |
| skellat | As we note from the second slide, not everything is covered in the slides and channel has to be watched too | 23:33 |
| skellat | For example, the Carrier Advisory Group matter only came up this morning. | 23:34 |
| skellat | Okay, we're moving to Item #1 -- Appointment of Deputy | 23:34 |
| skellat | As noted in the slide, I cannot sign the contract for the table for Ohio Linux Fest 2013 | 23:34 |
| skellat | Simply put I am coming up on the one year anniversary of starting unemployment | 23:34 |
| skellat | The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services is taking an active hand now directing me to apply for jobs | 23:35 |
| skellat | Since I'm not exactly sure where I'll be in September...I'd feel more comfortable having somebody else sign the contract in my stead | 23:35 |
| skellat | Unless drkokandy wants to take this up, this may need to be bound over to the mailing list for further consideration | 23:35 |
| skellat | What discussion do we have for this? | 23:36 |
| drkokandy | I think it would be good to take this to the mailing list, because I'm not sure whether I'll be available for Ohio Linux Fest either, and I would prefer to look at the contract before anything | 23:37 |
| skellat | Yeah | 23:37 |
| drkokandy | is that something that can be shared with the group? | 23:37 |
| skellat | The call can be. The mailing list doesn't accept attachments. I could throw it in my Ubuntu One storage space, though. | 23:37 |
| skellat | Okay, the matter will be bound over to the mailing list for further action that may or may not occur | 23:38 |
| drkokandy | then that should work :-) I'm hoping to be at Ohio Linux Fest, but before that I'd want to know what I'm agreeing to | 23:38 |
| paultag | OLF! | 23:39 |
| skellat | drkokandy: It works. I've got the contract text here. I'll throw it in my U1 space tonight and send an e-mail later. | 23:39 |
| skellat | Just got an e-mail from John Sullivan at FSF saying I wasn't selected for a position I applied for there...but I have had stuff like that happening for over 40 weeks now. | 23:40 |
| skellat | Okay, moving on to Item #2 -- Further Explanation of Membership Shepherding Program | 23:40 |
| skellat | The slides say a bit about this. | 23:41 |
| skellat | In major part, Ohio has some fairly active members | 23:41 |
| skellat | After all, jrgifford undertakes leadership with AskUbuntu | 23:41 |
| skellat | Unit193 does great work helping with the work of IRC | 23:41 |
| skellat | jacob works on things for forums | 23:42 |
| skellat | The key thing we need to have is for that to grow | 23:42 |
| skellat | If we were able to hit 10+ Ubuntu Members, I would feel very comfortable then calling for elections for a new Council to replace me | 23:43 |
| paultag | have we ever hit 10+ Ubuntu members? | 23:43 |
| skellat | No | 23:43 |
| skellat | Not according to the script Unit193 made for me | 23:43 |
| Unit193 | I didn't exactly make it. | 23:43 |
| skellat | Unit193: The one you sent me | 23:44 |
| Unit193 | I know which one. :P | 23:44 |
| skellat | Right now, in terms of number of Ubuntu Members, we're on par with Michigan while most neighboring states have lower numbers or have none. | 23:44 |
| paultag | Ohio was one of the most Ubuntu member packed for a long time. | 23:45 |
| Unit193 | So in fairly good standing. | 23:45 |
| paultag | Might have been #1 in the US for a while. | 23:45 |
| skellat | paultag: US-wide the score is a little over 150 | 23:45 |
| paultag | So, not #1 | 23:45 |
| skellat | No, that's the total number of Ubuntu Members who also are members of US Teams project | 23:46 |
| skellat | Planet-wide, Ubuntu Members holds at 769 members | 23:47 |
| skellat | The recently announced membership certificate is a new facet to the matter where Mark Shuttleworth will be signing and sending out certificates to new members. | 23:47 |
| jrgifford | skellat: indeed, I do. | 23:48 |
| skellat | For us in terms of members, we still hold at 6 with the biggest concentration on an arc running from Mansfield to Cleveland to Ashtabula. | 23:49 |
| jrgifford | Interesting on the arc | 23:49 |
| skellat | Yeah | 23:49 |
| paultag | sounds like that just matches population roughly | 23:49 |
| paultag | cbus has one, right? | 23:50 |
| paultag | (and chase left the state, right?) | 23:50 |
| skellat | Columbus has jacob | 23:50 |
| skellat | Chase is gone | 23:50 |
| paultag | and gilbert ? | 23:50 |
| paultag | Oh, he's not an Ubuntu'er. | 23:50 |
| paultag | Wat. | 23:50 |
| skellat | Exactly | 23:50 |
| skellat | If there is anybody you know who you would like to help move along to Membership, in any of its various forms, speak up and encourage them | 23:51 |
| skellat | Membership shows continuing participation within Ubuntu | 23:51 |
| Unit193 | (In theory) | 23:51 |
| skellat | Unit193: Indeed | 23:51 |
| skellat | For boosting activity, it is one road we can try to go down | 23:52 |
| skellat | There were a few discussions at the last vUDS about boosting participation...this is the only idea out there and I'm the one trying it out | 23:52 |
| * skellat can be blamed for making the proposal in the first place | 23:52 | |
| skellat | This is mostly an advisory portion to keep in mind | 23:53 |
| skellat | Encourage others to get involved | 23:53 |
| skellat | Encouragement is hard to do | 23:53 |
| skellat | But we gotta try | 23:53 |
| skellat | Is there any further discussion for Item #2? | 23:53 |
| jrgifford | skellat: hence why I'm recommending those who installed Ubuntu at our lug meeting join the loco | 23:54 |
| skellat | \o/ | 23:54 |
| Unit193 | jrgifford: How's the LUG going? | 23:54 |
| jrgifford | Unit193: it's OK. I need to push it more, need another presenter than myself | 23:54 |
| skellat | jrgifford: If these gas prices come down a little I may be able to sneak down to Cuyahoga County in a couple weeks | 23:55 |
| jrgifford | skellat: let me know, I'll be around. :) | 23:56 |
| skellat | Okay | 23:56 |
| skellat | Anything else for Item #2? | 23:56 |
| skellat | Okay, moving on to Item #3 | 23:57 |
| skellat | Communications | 23:57 |
| jrgifford | Anyway, my apologies for being late and slow, I've had a busy day in general. | 23:57 |
| jrgifford | Yay! Communicating! | 23:57 |
| skellat | jrgifford: It is okay | 23:57 |
| skellat | We've got a little under half of the LoCo actually receiving mailing list posts | 23:58 |
| skellat | The forum is pretty much dead | 23:58 |
| skellat | The test discourse instance isn't approaching production status yet | 23:58 |
| jrgifford | So, the thought is the mailing list is silent, and other than like, 4-5 of us + paultag, nobody on irc. | 23:58 |
| jenni | oh baby | 23:58 |
| jrgifford | skellat: but I know jcastro, he's pushing it. | 23:58 |
| skellat | This is the most I've seen idling in IRC for a while | 23:58 |
| jrgifford | Nathan Osman is also pushing forward in the discourse stuff, as is marcoceppi. They'll have it running soon. :) | 23:59 |
| skellat | Yeah | 23:59 |
| jrgifford | In some respects, shoving it down people's throats. ;) | 23:59 |
