[11:58] <jared> #startmeeting 1200 UTC Ubuntu Membership Board
[11:58] <meetingology> Meeting started Wed Aug 20 11:58:53 2014 UTC.  The chair is jared. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology.
[11:58] <meetingology> Available commands: action commands idea info link nick
[11:59] <jared> Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board for the 1200 UTC meeting for August 20, 2014.
[11:59] <jared> The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards
[11:59] <jared> We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off.
[11:59] <jared> The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO).
[11:59] <jared> Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions.
[11:59] <jared> During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote.
[11:59] <jared> When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the sum of those numbers is positive, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!)

[12:25] <jared> #subtopic Tribaal
[12:25] <Tribaal> Hi everyone!
[12:25] <jared> Hello Tribaal, can you please introduce yourself to the board
[12:25] <RoozbehShafiee> jared: we have Iran ubuntu loco team meeting. but after that we can talk about it :)
[12:25] <Tribaal> So my name is Chris "Tribaal" Glass, I'm an Ubuntu user since breezy.
[12:25] <Tribaal> I'm French, but I was born and raised in Switzerland - and recently moved to Tanzania
[12:26] <Tribaal> I'm a software engineer, passionate about "cloud" technologies and distributed systems
[12:27] <Tribaal> I currently work for Canonical in the Landscape team, and do quite some openstack work (although not direct contributions yet)
[12:28] <popey> "While I am a Canonical employee this is my own initiative, and is neither required nor sanctionned by my employer. I feel that I belong as a member of the community in my own right"  ← I like this
[12:28] <Tribaal> I did a few contributions along the years, especially as part of LoCos and forums in the beginning, then to code and packages more recently
[12:29] <Tribaal> popey: thanks, I would be the second Ubuntu member in my team (of 13), it's not a requirement at all
[12:29] <Tribaal> I just felt it was a natural step to take for me at this point
[12:29] <Tribaal> I will also apply for upload rights in the future, but that is a separate process :)
[12:30] <cyphermox> great :)
[12:30] <Tribaal> One particular highlight of my "contributions"
[12:30] <jared> Tribaal: thanks for the well prepared application, one question. I clicked through to find out about the Tanzanian LoCo but couldn't find much. Is there a wiki page or website?
[12:30] <Tribaal> that is dear to me
[12:31] <Tribaal> jared: oh, not at the moment unfortunately - I took over really recently (last week), because I discovered a basically dead LoCo on arrival in Tanzania
[12:31] <jared> Tribaal: ah fair enough. Just curiosity really.
[12:31] <Tribaal> jared: I really hope to revive the LoCo, the number of Users in Tanzania is quite high
[12:31] <belkinsa> +1
[12:31] <popey> How long have you worked at Canonical? Did you work on Ubuntu before that?
[12:32] <Tribaal> popey: I work for Canonical since... Jan 2012
[12:32] <Tribaal> popey: most of my contributions to Ubuntu before that were "soft" (LoCos, forums, install parties)
[12:33] <rickspencer3> I wouldn't underestimate the value of those contributions
[12:33] <popey> Yeah, that's some of the most valuable. Especially in your own time.
[12:33] <Tribaal> popey: but many of my contributions since then were not motivated by my work
[12:33] <Destine> +1
[12:33] <Tribaal> indeed
[12:33] <Tribaal> I'm not minizing the importance of community at all :)
[12:34] <popey> I have no more questions.
[12:34] <jared> So anymore questions from the other board members or shall we vote?
[12:35]  * belkinsa is ready to vote
[12:35] <jared> #vote Tribaal for Ubuntu Membership

[12:38] <belkinsa> Not a problem.
[12:39] <jared> Alright, we'lll move on to the last applicant
[12:39] <jared> #subtopic filipsohajek
[12:39] <filipsohajek> Hi, I give it up, i don't have enough contributions, and i'm not prepared for it. Thanks
[12:40] <belkinsa> ...
[12:40] <Tribaal> oh
[12:40] <belkinsa> I will speak to him if possible.
[12:40] <jared> Hm, well if anyone knows filipsohojek please let them know we're here to help if they have any questions
[12:41] <belkinsa> And that too.
[12:41] <rickspencer3> :(
[12:41] <rickspencer3> would have been nice to have provided some encouragement
[12:41] <Tribaal> yeah... but he quit so fast :(
[12:43] <jared> Ok, well that being said I'll end the meeting unless anyone else has any other business?
[12:44] <jared> RoozbehShafiee: we end the meeting for the logs but we're happy to discuss still, just so you don't think we're going to ignore you
[12:44] <silverlion> o/
[12:45] <jared> silverlion: how can we help
[12:45] <silverlion> jared : I am sorry, I was told to be here in this meeting of the ubuntu community
[12:46]  * silverlion feels bad to be late 
[12:46] <silverlion> but traffic is to blame
[12:46] <cyphermox> silverlion: are you here to cheer for someone?
[12:46] <silverlion> cyphermox : no belkinsa told me to be here today ... just got approved by the mailing list
[12:47] <silverlion> never mind I'll catch with her later
[12:47] <silverlion> disregard my disturbance.
[12:47] <belkinsa> silverlion, you are already a member and you don't need to do anything else.
[12:47] <popey> ☻
[12:47] <popey> Welcome anyway ☻
[12:47] <belkinsa> anything else more for it*
[12:47] <cyphermox> if you got approved, the best we can do is probably just congratulate you and apologize we couldn't do it "in person" last time :)
[12:48] <jared> silverlion: no disturbance at all, well timed to be honest
[12:48] <silverlion> jared beg your pardon?
[12:48] <jared> silverlion: I was just saying you weren't disturbing, it was a well timed entrance as we'd just finished the applications for this meeting
[12:49] <silverlion> jared a ok, now i understood
[12:50] <jared> Cool
[12:52] <jared> Well it appears there isn't any other business?
[12:52] <belkinsa> I think we need to help RoozbehShafiee still.

[12:53] <jared> RoozbehShafiee: if you're still around we can give further feedback?
[12:53] <belkinsa> Oh, the meeting was still running?
[12:53]  * belkinsa faceplams
[12:53] <jared> belkinsa: no worries, just don't like to cut people off in case there was somethign I wasn't aware of
[12:54] <belkinsa> Right.
[12:54] <popey> thanks everyone ☻
[12:54] <Tribaal> thanks
[12:54] <silverlion> thx
[12:54] <Tribaal> so... from a practical standpoint, to I now get mail to tribaal@ubuntu.com forwarded automagically?
[12:54] <Tribaal> (sorry if its' not the place to ask)
[12:55] <jared> Tribaal: it works automagically to your primary LP address :)
[12:55] <Tribaal> jared: cool :) thanks
[12:55] <belkinsa> Tribaal, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEmail
[12:55] <jared> Tribaal: it can take a little while to populate, but yeah, the wiki page should explain all
[12:55] <silverlion> jared : what if I want to change my primary email on LP?
[12:55] <belkinsa> And you ask for your shinny cloak in #ubuntu-irc
[12:55] <Tribaal> oh, I could have found that information by searching - sorry
[12:57] <jared> silverlion: I believe it would automatically change over to the new one, just with the little delay
[12:57] <silverlion> jared : thankx
[12:57] <jared> The wiki indicates the script runs every 48 hours so it should be no more than that
[13:01] <belkinsa> RoozbehShafiee, are you still here?  And are we ready to help him?
[13:02] <jared> I think they're off to a LoCo meeting, but may be back later
[13:02] <belkinsa> Oh, I se.e
[13:02] <jared> RoozbehShafiee: if you do come back and none of the board is here to help feel free to drop us an email - ubuntu-membership-boards@lists.ubuntu.com - and we can still help out
[16:11] <tinoco> back
