caboose885Well, I have been working on the UA team. Currently I have 9 active members. I actually have a few more people that are eager to join but they don't meet the requirements yet20:07
caboose885Hopefully in the next couple months we can bring them on20:07
IowanWhat are membership requirements?20:08
caboose8856 months active on the forums20:08
s-foxI was just wondering how you are going about getting in contact with people, or are they coming to you?20:08
caboose885At first I was reaching out to people but lately I've had a couple come to me20:08
elfygood20:09
caboose885I'm not sure if its members spreading the word or how they are learning about the team20:09
caboose885I never really asked them how they heard about the team20:09
elfyit might be worth doing that20:09
caboose885I will make sure to ask next time20:10
caboose885So, the team is slowly getting started. Still need more members but at least we have a small team working on reducing unanswered posts left on the forums20:10
elfycaboose885: nothing to stop you asking those you've got :)20:11
s-foxThat sounds great caboose885 ,  I know it can be hard getting movement :)20:11
caboose885I think I estimated the team a bit too small. I think I will need more than 15 members but i will take what I can get20:11
s-foxagreed elfy20:11
elfycaboose885: yep - though I'd say it's best to start with a compact team20:11
caboose885agreed, with growing pains and figuring a  good system out and all20:12
caboose885that is all from me unless you guys have more to ask20:12
s-foxOkay, anything else you want to add caboose885 , or can we move on? (not that i am trying to change topic)20:12
elfycaboose885: thanks for the time you're putting in to it20:12
s-foxNothing more from me except i am glad it is slowly coming together and a big thank you20:13
s-fox:)20:13
caboose885you can move on s-fox. I am done :)20:13
caboose885Thanks for everyones help and support20:13
howefieldthanks caboose88520:13
s-foxOkay moving on...20:13

s-foxWe have been trying quite hard to become more democratic with the way in which moderators (and admins) will be chosen on the forums20:14
s-foxIt has been difficult to find a way to implement, but we getting there.20:15
s-foxWe have recently come up with this outline: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumCouncil/TeamNomination20:15
s-foxIt is still a work in progress that needs the Community Council to agree on (we have 3/7 officially at this time)20:16
s-foxI guess we are looking for general feedback from an outsiders point of view, as well as just letting you know what is coming20:16
s-foxI think that is about it, unless any of the other FC members have anything to add.20:17
elfynot to that20:17
Iowannothing here20:17
s-foxAlso big thank you to those that drafted it and did the organisation on launchpad , and going over the vote script :)20:17
cariboo907you've summed it up pretty good s-fox20:17
elfythat's still needing some work20:17
elfybut we've time20:17
howefieldhow do we want general feedback, a thread in the forums ?20:18
s-foxBy nature we are forum based, so i think that would be a good idea20:18
elfyhowefield: I've posted one - will post a general forum thread later20:18
s-foxThank you elfy :)20:19
howefieldthanks20:19
elfylet's get feedback from those affected first20:19
s-foxI want to be quick to add i am not expecting a flood of feedback *right now this instant*20:19
elfyit can go in the general forum once we're sure of what we are going to do - rather than draft20:19
s-foxAgreed elfy , i wish to wait until we have a majority from the CC20:19
elfyI'm not sure that the moderator nomination is of concern20:20
elfyok - think move onto fixed items now20:21
s-foxI wouldn't want to guess the concerns of others. ;)20:21
* elfy neither 20:21
s-foxOkay,   but before that does anyone have anything that they want to bring up that isn't on the agenda for whatever reason :)20:21
elfyother than it has been the province of the FC up till now20:22
s-foxI guess nobody has anything.20:22
s-foxNext topic20:22
elfys-fox: that's what we put AOB on the agenda for I thought :)20:22
s-fox#topic Division of labour20:22

s-foxAlright, who wants to do what?20:23
cariboo907who did what last time? :)20:23
elfysef does20:23
s-foxvery funny :)20:23
elfynot sure what there is on the list anymore tbh - some are long gone now20:23
howefieldI'm not fussy, what does nobody like doing :)20:24
IowanI *think* I did the report lasttime.20:24
s-foxOkay, well there is the team report20:24
s-foxi think i fixed it the other month, but that might have been elfy20:24
IowanThen there's the ML20:24
s-foxhmm20:24
elfyteam report should be done regardless of there being a meeting20:24
s-foxelfy,  +120:24
elfyIowan: ML is whoever sees it first and approves the post20:25
s-foxI think the ml is being looked after generally by a few people though20:25
IowanSimilar to Res centre...20:25
s-foxto me that is a good thing20:25
elfywe changed that at the same time as sending replies to the join notice to dev/null20:25
s-foxi only think we had it that way to ensure someone looks at it. i think we are better than we used to be20:25
s-foxi don't mind doing the report20:26
elfyI think the only thing that needs to be rotated is the report20:26
IowanNo new members to add :(20:26
s-foxi haven't done the report for a while, i'll do it tomorrow at some point20:26
elfyIowan: not at present - though we actually do those when they get majority20:26
elfyshouldn't be on Agenda20:27
s-foxoh, does anyone know when the next announcement bot post is due?20:27
s-foxthat needs checking20:27
s-foxhopefully it is fixed :)20:27
elfyno - but I'm subscribed to a couple of -announce m/l's20:27
s-foxpity we can't fake an announcement to test it20:27
s-foxor can we?20:28
elfyno20:28
s-foxshame20:28
