[20:06] meh [20:06] o/ [20:06] o/ [20:06] \o [20:06] ~~~o/~~~ [20:06] present [20:06] Throw your hands in the air and wave'em like you just don't care [20:07] YOU ARE CARING I KNOW [20:07] I am :/ [20:07] was dis? [20:08] so, the subject of this meeting is the IRC Council nominations, we are following the process outlined here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil [20:08] nominations we know about so far are . . . [20:08] Tm_T and Pici [20:09] Pici: rock on [20:09] and if anyone else would like to nominate themselves now is the time to do it [20:09] do you actually need more or do you have enough? [20:09] (pondering, hence asking) [20:09] well we should have 5 [20:09] * AlanBell nominates himself [20:10] now we have 3 [20:10] Fuchs: there's no "enough" [20:10] good going! :) [20:10] so, topyli and funkyhat are not running for another term? [20:10] not me at least [20:10] Real life things :/ [20:11] the idea is we collect lots of nominations and put them forward to the CC who will set up the process for selecting 5 of them [20:11] real life things are good, hopefully. [20:11] so if we don't make it to 5 that is a bit inconvenient, but not unheard of, last time there were 4 initially [20:11] * Fuchs waits for now, then [20:12] hm [20:12] * IdleOne nominates self [20:12] yay \o/ [20:12] woo [20:12] what the hell, might as well give you folks a run for your money [20:12] yes! [20:12] IdleOne: good boy [20:13] Fuchs: you should also [20:13] IdleOne: it would be a bit many hats to wear then (loco op, ubuntuusers GC, IRCC) so I'd only do it if you desperately need more [20:14] undstandable [20:14] * AlanBell nudges Myrtti a bit [20:14] no [20:14] cmon Myrtti :) [20:14] aw :( Myrtti is awesome [20:14] * IdleOne nudges Flannel [20:15] Fuchs: very understandable [20:16] Sounds like we should've had this goad-people meeting earlier to the deadline, if our selection process is "whoever is here and breathing" [20:16] IdleOne: If I accept your nomination, does that make six or five? [20:16] Flannel: yeah, we did, last week [20:16] not trying to goad you sir, just think you would be good for the position. [20:16] this is a followup goad [20:16] Flannel: I believe it would be 5 [20:17] AlanBell: Ah, well, I missed it. Was there an email? "Come show up! Be volunteered!" [20:17] Lets stop goading people, its their own decision to nominate themselves. [20:17] IdleOne: I will accept your nomination, but only if that makes six people. So if that was only five, you'll need to find one more :) [20:17] I'm assuming AlanBell is keeping track [20:17] After all, this is a 2 year commitment. [20:17] IdleOne: Think of it as a matching contribution :) [20:18] well, it seems we can't shame anyone else now :( [20:18] so far I see Pici Tm_T AlanBell IdleOne Flannel [20:19] Flannel: Please confirm yourself so I don't feel like I forced you into accepting [20:19] *the nomination [20:23] I still feel that we should seek out one or two more. It's not much of a confirmation/vote if barely have the minimum number. [20:23] AlanBell: What are the requirements for a person serving? [20:24] be ubuntu member [20:24] Flannel: ubuntu IRC membership, being dedicated to IRC, having a bit or IRC knowledge, listet all at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil [20:24] (under IRC Council Charter, 4th point) [20:26] Flannel: yeah, basically Ubuntu Membership and wanting to do it really [20:27] nominations are open to the end of November, so still a few hours left :) [20:27] right, operator status not required. [20:27] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-irc/2013-November/001623.html set out the dates [20:27] Flannel: nope, not required to be an Op [20:29] So, with this window, let me officially state this then: I will only accept nomination if we find at least one more (hopefully more!) additional people who accept nomination. [20:30] would be good to have non-ops in council too infact [20:30] Not that I wish to be difficult, just that I wish for a vote that's more meaningful than "vote for five of these five people!" when it comes time for that. [20:30] Flannel: yeah, I am keen on there being a vote too [20:31] so basically you just need to find one who nobody will vote for anyway, then take Flannel ;) [20:31] Lets have everyone take a homework assignment then, over the next N hours (how many? what timezone?), talk to folks about the IRCC, what it does, why it's important, and see if they're interested. [20:34] so I didn't specify a timezone, we normally use UTC, but it isn't a particularly hard deadline, we said "November" and I would be fine with that meaning that we send the list to the CC at an unspecified time on Monday with all nominations to that point [20:35] Sounds fine to me [20:35] the IRCC will prepare an email with the names, links to wiki pages and launchpad pages and any comments we may have about the nominations [20:36] Do I need to make a special page for this? [20:36] wiki page that is [20:36] IdleOne: At least a section. [20:36] let me see if I remember my wiki all-in-one password [20:37] IdleOne: I think the wiki uses launchpad now. [20:37] no need for a special page or section, just maybe take a look over the existing stuff and update if required [20:38] maybe add a note saying you are nominating yourself for the IRCC [20:38] And testimonials, if you like. [20:40] will do [20:42] so, thanks very much all for attending this meeting, and thanks to those who have nominated themselves, lets close this for now, further nominations will continue to be accepted, just let a member of the current IRCC know you want to put yourself forward by email or IRC or carrier pigeon [20:43] Thank you. [20:43] at some point on Monday the nominations we know about at that time will be passed on to the CC - we won't announce the time of that in advance, so no last second nominations will work :) [20:43] #endmeeting === meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendar | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology [20:43] Meeting ended Sat Nov 30 20:43:51 2013 UTC.

[20:43] I'll forward it to the ubuntuusers people, AlanBell. Where should they poke exactly? (E-Mail address) [20:44] Fuchs: irc-council@lists.ubuntu.com or just ping one of us on IRC [20:44] thanks [20:44] wiki slow to login for others? [20:46] IdleOne: a tad, yes. [20:46] nevermind [20:46] (it's slow for me here right now) [20:46] ah, so it wasn't just me [20:46] thanks TheLordOfTime [20:47] IdleOne: just finally kicked into gear and logged in, but i thought the system was gonna timeout on me [20:47] (so no, i don't think its just you) [21:49] IdleOne: ing [21:49] er, actually, it should have been a *p*ing. Keyboard ate the 'p' [21:50] hggdh: ong [21:50] heh [21:50] :) [21:51] IdleOne: if you still need another one to self-nominate, I can do it. [21:51] AlanBell: ^ [21:51] hggdh: yay! [21:51] \o/ [21:51] thanks hggdh, I will add you to the list [21:51] OK. mail to ubuntu-irc? [21:52] no need, you just nominated yourself [21:54] anyway, already sent :-)
