| dholbach | hey... could somebody of you imagine joining the Ubuntu membership board? | 18:01 |
| Kilos | i have applied i think dholbach | 18:02 |
| wxl | me too | 18:02 |
| * dholbach hugs Kilos and wxl | 18:02 | |
| dholbach | that's brilliant | 18:02 |
| * genii makes more coffee | 18:02 | |
| wxl | ☺ | 18:02 |
| dholbach | anyone else? | 18:02 |
| dholbach | I mean most of you all became Ubuntu members already - we're still looking for somebody to join the team | 18:02 |
| Kilos | belkinsa can you fill us in please | 18:02 |
| dholbach | I used to do it, when the CC was still approving membership | 18:03 |
| dholbach | and it's actually a lot of fun | 18:03 |
| dholbach | because you get to know many people from many different parts of the Ubuntu community | 18:03 |
| Kilos | thats part of the reason i applied dholbach | 18:03 |
| genii | Is there not enough sitting members on the membership board currently to be effective? | 18:04 |
| dholbach | Kilos, nice one! | 18:04 |
| Kilos | im sure there are 7 applications there | 18:04 |
| dholbach | genii, the nomination period is just right now | 18:04 |
| wxl | i applied because i saw a need and felt i could contribute without necessarily detracting from my other roles | 18:04 |
| Kilos | 2 new and 5 older ones | 18:04 |
| genii | Hm | 18:04 |
| wxl | meaning i felt i had the necessary skills | 18:04 |
| dholbach | genii, if you want, you can have a chat with somebody like belkinsa to see how much work it is and if you have other questions | 18:04 |
| wxl | unfortunately, leadership/management is not easy for everyone | 18:05 |
| Kilos | only i havent been a member very long | 18:05 |
| dholbach | if you were approved for membership and have been around for a while and are generally curious, it's a good spot to be in :) | 18:05 |
| wxl | Kilos: honestly, i don't think that matters. it wouldn't to me if it were my decision. | 18:05 |
| Kilos | ah well lets hope wxl | 18:05 |
| wxl | like for example, i have a member on our bug triage team who's a new member and doing so darn good i'm trying to facilitate him to join bug control | 18:06 |
| wxl | the fact that he's new doesn't matter | 18:06 |
| wxl | it's his skills, ability, and drive that matters | 18:06 |
| Kilos | ya but i have no skills man only applied for starters because pleia2 had to extend by 2 weeks | 18:07 |
| wxl | i have a strong suspicion that your desire to try indicates you're not scared of leadership] | 18:07 |
| belkinsa | You don't need that many skills, only reporting and knowing what the board is looking for, | 18:07 |
| wxl | that's a good start :) | 18:07 |
| wxl | brb | 18:07 |
| belkinsa | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards | 18:07 |
| Kilos | belkinsa i dont see me anywhere or wxl | 18:09 |
| Kilos | lol maybe im doing some thing wrong | 18:10 |
| belkinsa | Kilos, it's done via mailing-list only members of the board can see it | 18:10 |
| belkinsa | And the CC too. | 18:10 |
| Kilos | oh ok ty | 18:10 |
| genii | belkinsa: How much time do you figure you spend per month on Membership duties? | 18:14 |
| belkinsa | 10 minutes to an hour, depends on how many are applying for which board. | 18:15 |
| belkinsa | And the reporting and wiki editing takes only a few minutes. | 18:15 |
| Kilos | is that all? | 18:15 |
| belkinsa | But only one person does the reporting and editting | 18:16 |
| belkinsa | Kilos, yup, but lately we haven't received that many applicants. Only zero to two at a meeting. | 18:16 |
| Kilos | whew | 18:16 |
| belkinsa | I think when I applied, there was like five of us and it took the whole hour. | 18:17 |
| Kilos | well im here. will stay up late for the late meets. its only once a month and ill be here for the early meets | 18:17 |
| Kilos | lol they just mustnt ask me a whole bunch of funny questions | 18:18 |
| belkinsa | Who is they? The CC? | 18:18 |
| Kilos | who evr approves the board | 18:18 |
| Kilos | ever | 18:19 |
| Kilos | are the board applications the same as for membership application? | 18:20 |
| belkinsa | No, the Community Council does. | 18:20 |
| Kilos | oh so we dont have to attend a meeting for it | 18:21 |
| belkinsa | pleia2, czajkowski, and dholbach are apart of the CC | 18:21 |
| belkinsa | Kilos, correct. | 18:21 |
| Kilos | oh thats cool then i was getting tense already, was a big move for me to apply for membeship | 18:22 |
| Kilos | kinda nerve wracking | 18:22 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:22 |
| belkinsa | I had that same feeling | 18:22 |
| Kilos | lol | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | Kilos: it was worse when mark shuttleworth was on the approval board, I was freaking out | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 18:23 |
| Kilos | hahaha | 18:23 |
| mhall119 | I didn't have mark on the board, but I was still freaking out | 18:23 |
| Kilos | if any of you see peeps from africa visit here for help please point them to #ubuntu-africa | 18:24 |
| Kilos | yeah its a big thing to be an ubuntu member imo | 18:24 |
| belkinsa | Sure thing. | 18:24 |
| Kilos | but i am very happy i applied and was so well supported by our team | 18:26 |
| Kilos | night all | 21:16 |
