[20:03] <AlanBell> hi all
[20:03] <Pici> howdy
[20:03] <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil/MeetingAgenda is the agenda
[20:04] <Pici> Do we have anything from last meeting to discuss?
[20:07] <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/IRCC/20131027 was the last meeting
[20:07] <AlanBell> still not done many cloak removals :(
[20:08] <AlanBell> #topic Review last meetings action items
[20:08] <Pici> I think we have a few more anyway, I saw at least one get emailed to us recently.
[20:08] <AlanBell> yup, the script needs re-running and just processing
[20:09] <AlanBell> lets rattle through the rest of the agenda and then do that
[20:09] <AlanBell> #topic Open items in the IRCC tracker
[20:09] <AlanBell> no items in the tracker, I just checked
[20:09] <AlanBell> #topic Review Bugs related to the Ubuntu IRC Council
[20:09] <AlanBell> no new bugs reported
[20:09] <Pici> I just checked as well.
[20:09] <AlanBell> #topic Operator Applicants
[20:09] <AlanBell> we do have some operator applicants that we mentioned in the prior meeting
[20:10] <Pici> I spoke to someone the other day that expressed interest, I'm not sure if they applied or not though
[20:11] <Unit193> https://launchpad.net/~irc-lubuntu-ops seems to have one pending, I'd +1.
[20:12] <Pici> agreed
[20:12] <AlanBell> yup, lets just make that one happen :)
[20:13] <topyli> yes let's
[20:13] <AlanBell> gah, my irssi script has messed up, pici/topyli can you sort out the flags for that
[20:13] <Pici> sure
[20:14] <Unit193> (Already did.)
[20:14] <AlanBell> also xubuntu
[20:15] <Pici> done
[20:16] <Unit193> Pici: Don't like templates? ;)
[20:16] <Pici> Unit193: nope
[20:17] <AlanBell> ok, no membership applications on the agenda
[20:17] <AlanBell> #topic Any Other Business
[20:18] <AlanBell> I think the main thing to discuss is the nomination(s) for the next IRCC term
[20:18] <Pici> I suppose we have until the end of the month to get our nominations in.
[20:18] <AlanBell> yup, end of the month is the deadline
[20:19] <IdleOne> afaik only Tm_T has nominated himself, right?
[20:19] <AlanBell> the announcment has been on the mailing list and on the fridge/planet ubuntu
[20:19] <AlanBell> IdleOne: I believe that is the case at the moment
[20:19] <Pici> Personally, I'm waiting to see who else steps forward.
[20:21] <AlanBell> me too :)
[20:22] <topyli> i'm not
[20:22] <IdleOne> :/
[20:22]  * phunyguy giggles
[20:23] <AlanBell> so, is there something else we could be doing to encourage more nominations?
[20:24] <IdleOne> AlanBell: I doubt it
[20:24] <Pici> free parking?
[20:24] <IdleOne> haha
[20:25] <Unit193> The dark side has cookies, yes.
[20:27] <AlanBell> I was wondering if the recent open letter and discussions would prompt some people to nominate themselves/each other
[20:28] <AlanBell> or if it would put people off :/
[20:28] <IdleOne> it is unfortunate but I think many people are put off by it
[20:28] <AlanBell> yeah, I was rather disappointed by the timing of it when I saw it
[20:29] <IdleOne> I think the effect did not match the intent
[20:30] <IdleOne> hypothetical question, what would happen if there was no IRCC for a cycle ?
[20:31] <IdleOne> How would it effect the IRC team?
[20:31] <Unit193> Tm_T does it all.
[20:31] <AlanBell> interesting question
[20:31] <IdleOne> Unit193: I thought he already did :)
[20:32] <AlanBell> I am thinking we should schedule an IRC team meeting for next saturday, which is basically the deadline
[20:32] <IdleOne> but seriously, say there is no IRCC. Does it all explode?
[20:32] <AlanBell> at that meeting we can count up the nominations and figure out what happens next
[20:32] <phunyguy> What are the requirements for an IRCC seat?
[20:33] <IdleOne> need to be an ubuntu member
[20:33] <topyli> phunyguy: you must be an ubuntu member, that's it iirc
[20:33] <AlanBell> phunyguy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil
[20:33] <phunyguy> ah.  Ok then.
[20:33] <IdleOne> and it should be cushioned
[20:33] <IdleOne> I refuse to sit on a hard seat
[20:33] <phunyguy> (That page said everyone is welcome to apply)
[20:33] <AlanBell> and nominate yourself, and not be pruned by the CC
[20:33] <topyli> and get people to vote for you
[20:34] <topyli> childsplay!
[20:34] <IdleOne> a lot like US presidential elections if you think about it
[20:34] <AlanBell> phunyguy: yeah, it does, but it also lists the requirements Ubuntu membership (Essential)
[20:34] <phunyguy> yep i see it now.
[20:34] <IdleOne> AlanBell: +1 on scheduling a meeting for next Saturday
[20:35] <AlanBell> ok, anything else to discuss right now?
