[20:05] happens when I sit in the front ... [20:05] Right, we currently have an empty agenda so i guess just a bit of feedback really. But before that i wanted to know if anyone here has anything they want to bring up [20:05] agenda isn't empty [20:05] it's got caboose885 on it ... [20:05] hmm [20:06] That is old? [20:06] "last" meeting... [20:06] I missed the last one...so elfy told me to roll it over to this one [20:06] Ah, okay :) [20:06] no that is left from the last meeting(s) when there won't enough of us here [20:06] caboose885, go for it [20:06] #topic [20:06] Followup report to the UA team revision === 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 | Ubuntu Forums Council Meeting | Current topic: [20:07] Well, 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 yet [20:07] Hopefully in the next couple months we can bring them on [20:08] What are membership requirements? [20:08] 6 months active on the forums [20:08] I was just wondering how you are going about getting in contact with people, or are they coming to you? [20:08] At first I was reaching out to people but lately I've had a couple come to me [20:09] good [20:09] I'm not sure if its members spreading the word or how they are learning about the team [20:09] I never really asked them how they heard about the team [20:09] it might be worth doing that [20:10] I will make sure to ask next time [20:10] So, 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 forums [20:11] caboose885: nothing to stop you asking those you've got :) [20:11] That sounds great caboose885 , I know it can be hard getting movement :) [20:11] I 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 get [20:11] agreed elfy [20:11] caboose885: yep - though I'd say it's best to start with a compact team [20:12] agreed, with growing pains and figuring a good system out and all [20:12] that is all from me unless you guys have more to ask [20:12] Okay, anything else you want to add caboose885 , or can we move on? (not that i am trying to change topic) [20:12] caboose885: thanks for the time you're putting in to it [20:13] Nothing more from me except i am glad it is slowly coming together and a big thank you [20:13] :) [20:13] you can move on s-fox. I am done :) [20:13] Thanks for everyones help and support [20:13] thanks caboose885 [20:13] Okay moving on... [20:14] #topic Moderator Nominations === 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 | Ubuntu Forums Council Meeting | Current topic: Moderator Nominations [20:14] We have been trying quite hard to become more democratic with the way in which moderators (and admins) will be chosen on the forums [20:15] It has been difficult to find a way to implement, but we getting there. [20:15] We have recently come up with this outline: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumCouncil/TeamNomination [20:16] It is still a work in progress that needs the Community Council to agree on (we have 3/7 officially at this time) [20:16] I guess we are looking for general feedback from an outsiders point of view, as well as just letting you know what is coming [20:17] I think that is about it, unless any of the other FC members have anything to add. [20:17] not to that [20:17] nothing here [20:17] Also big thank you to those that drafted it and did the organisation on launchpad , and going over the vote script :) [20:17] you've summed it up pretty good s-fox [20:17] that's still needing some work [20:17] but we've time [20:18] how do we want general feedback, a thread in the forums ? [20:18] By nature we are forum based, so i think that would be a good idea [20:18] howefield: I've posted one - will post a general forum thread later [20:19] Thank you elfy :) [20:19] thanks [20:19] let's get feedback from those affected first [20:19] I want to be quick to add i am not expecting a flood of feedback *right now this instant* [20:19] it can go in the general forum once we're sure of what we are going to do - rather than draft [20:19] Agreed elfy , i wish to wait until we have a majority from the CC [20:20] I'm not sure that the moderator nomination is of concern [20:21] ok - think move onto fixed items now [20:21] I wouldn't want to guess the concerns of others. ;) [20:21] * elfy neither [20:21] Okay, but before that does anyone have anything that they want to bring up that isn't on the agenda for whatever reason :) [20:22] other than it has been the province of the FC up till now [20:22] I guess nobody has anything. [20:22] Next topic [20:22] s-fox: that's what we put AOB on the agenda for I thought :) [20:22] #topic Division of labour === 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 | Ubuntu Forums Council Meeting | Current topic: Division of labour [20:23] Alright, who wants to do what? [20:23] who did what last time? :) [20:23] sef does [20:23] very funny :) [20:23] not sure what there is on the list anymore tbh - some are long gone now [20:24] I'm not fussy, what does nobody like doing :) [20:24] I *think* I did the report lasttime. [20:24] Okay, well there is the team report [20:24] i think i fixed it the other month, but that might have been elfy [20:24] Then there's the ML [20:24] hmm [20:24] team report should be done regardless of there being a meeting [20:24] elfy, +1 [20:25] Iowan: ML is whoever sees it first and approves the post [20:25] I think the ml is being looked after generally by a few people though [20:25] Similar to Res centre... [20:25] to me that is a good thing [20:25] we changed that at the same time as sending replies to the join notice to dev/null [20:25] i only think we had it that way to ensure someone looks at it. i think we are better than we used to be [20:26] i don't mind doing the report [20:26] I think the only thing that needs to be rotated is the report [20:26] No new members to add :( [20:26] i haven't done the report for a while, i'll do it tomorrow at some point [20:26] Iowan: not at present - though we actually do those when they get majority [20:27] shouldn't be on Agenda [20:27] oh, does anyone know when the next announcement bot post is due? [20:27] that needs checking [20:27] hopefully it is fixed :) [20:27] no - but I'm subscribed to a couple of -announce m/l's [20:27] pity we can't fake an announcement to test it [20:28] or can we? [20:28] no [20:28] shame [20:28] IS are waiting for one to appear same as us :) [20:29] Oh yes, while i remember. Thank you to IS for sorting out those tickets i created last week :) [20:29] so all in agreement - QIII can do that? [20:29] yes [20:29] agreed [20:29] approved [20:29] +1 [20:29] +! [20:29] +1 [20:30] ok - seems like a wrap then [20:30] can we review what the payment rate is for that? [20:30] same as previous [20:30] Also, thank you to you all for being active in the running of the forums. to me it feels we are much more organised / active than we have been for a long time :) [20:30] I don't do anything much... [20:30] * s-fox fires Irihapeti [20:30] thanks s-fox et all, and good night :) [20:30] TY [20:30] :D [20:31] good night howefield [20:31] i think that is it [20:31] #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 [20:31] Meeting ended Sun Mar 2 20:31:29 2014 UTC.
