infinitypitti: You too.17:02
pittinot that we'd have much of an agenda, but let's still wait a bit on stgraber, slangasek, and kees17:04
slangasekI have always been here ;)17:04
pittihey slangasek, how are you?17:05
slangasekpitti: not too bad! out of the eggnog coma17:05
slangasekpitti: you?17:05
pittislangasek: quite well, had a really nice time in Dresden; replacing IRC with lots of walks, museums, spending time with family & friends etc :)17:06
pittithen again, what are we doing here, we all timed out :)17:06

pittithe usual?17:06
* pitti doesn't suspect any progress over the holidays17:07
infinityYeah, not so much.17:07
slangasekindeed not, sorry :)17:07
pittino worries, just following the protocol17:07
pittinothing on the ML either except for being on the CC checkup meeting17:07
pittiso I guess that leaves us to17:07
pitti#topic tech board re-election17:08
pittiI notified Mark about our timeout and asked for re-adding all of us for another month17:08
slangasekdoes anyone have any experience running the election?17:08
pittidoes anyone remember what we did two years ago for the election?17:08
pittiI know someone set up a poll, maybe Mark himself, maybe someone from CC17:09
slangasekwe had an email from dholbach back at the beginning of December, pointing to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Restaffing which suggests that the board itself "usually" runs the election17:09
pittiok, that doesn't tell much about the operational details of setting up the voting, but before that Mark needs to appoint candidates anyway17:12
slangasekok17:12
pittiTBH, my motivation for doing a fourth 2-year term is relatively low -- we haven't really been that useful in the last two years IMHO17:14
infinityI'd like to see us get more useful, but I'm not sure how to magically make that happen.17:16
mdeslaurwas there a call for nominations last time? I can't seem to find it17:16
slangasekmy recollection was that Mark hand-picks?17:17
pittiyeah, mine to17:18

sabdflhello all17:19
infinityOh hey, look.17:19
slangaseksabdfl: hi!17:19
sabdflhappy new year to you too, infinity17:19
mdeslaursabdfl: hi! happy new year17:19

pittiand https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2013-October/001734.html17:19
pittioh, hello sabdfl! happy new year!17:20
sabdfli believe i and to you too pitti, i hope you guys all had a very restful and happy holiday17:21
sabdflwell, that came out all wrong17:21
* pitti reorders :)17:21
sabdfls/i believe i//17:21
sabdflpitti, was the link re cor-dev membership as a requirement, or staggering terms?17:22
pittisabdfl: the mails from two years ago above were just about procedural issues and pretty much the same questions that we have now17:22
pittisabdfl: but ISTR that core-dev should be a rather strong requirement17:22
sabdflyes, i think so too, though i would tend to filter nominations that way in any event17:24
pittisabdfl: so what are the next steps? should we sent out a public call for nominations, or do you want to ponder that and nominate yourself?17:24
sabdflam i interrupting or can we talk about elections?17:24
sabdflcool17:24
pittisabdfl: it's our only topic and it's going on right now17:24
sabdflpublic call for nominations please, i just shortlist17:24
pittiack17:24
infinityI nominate the current board.  *cough*17:26
sabdfli'd like to discuss nominations with the T, but i believe your only list is public?17:26
sabdflTB17:26
pittiright, it is17:26
pittiso that'd be individual mails17:26
sabdflwill do17:26
sabdflmay i ask that the current TB extend for 3 weeks to cover a 2-week call for nominations and a 1-week election?17:27
pittisabdfl: I mailed you the other day with proposing an extension by one month17:27
infinityI don't think any of us have issues with that, so long as you click the buttons in LP.17:27
mdeslaurI'm fine with that17:27
infinity(The lack of permissions has already caused some issues :P)17:28
sabdfli'll ask folks to ack if they want me to do the clicky click17:28
pitti(FTR, ack from me as well)17:28
infinitypitti: You're chairing, startvote +1mo and clicky clicky? :P17:29
infinityOr 3wk.17:29
infinityOr whatever.17:29
pittias for the nominations, mail to u-devel-announce@? who should the nominees be sent to? I'm happy enough to collect them in private, or should they go to u-devel-discuss@?17:29
pitti#vote extend current TB term by one month for the re-election17:29
meetingologyPlease vote on: extend current TB term by one month for the re-election17:29
meetingologyPublic votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (for private voting, private message me with 'vote +1/-1/+0 #channelname)17:29

pittineed slangasek for quorum17:30
infinitypitti: If they're being filtered, they should be sent privately.  No one needs the public embarrassment of self-nominating and being rejected.17:30
pittiyes, that's what I thought17:30
pittiwhen I collect them privately, I won't do any replies or discussion, just assemble the list and send them to sabdfl after 2 weeks17:31
slangasek+117:31

pittisabdfl: thanks in advance for the button pushing17:31
infinitypitti: You're the most trusted of all of us, happy to let you be the man behind the curtain. :P17:32
sabdfllove the voting thing, it's such a good idea!17:33
pittisabdfl: while we are at it, who has experience with setting up the actual voting in two weeks?17:33
sabdfldholbach17:33
pittiack, thanks17:33
sabdflistr he just ran the process for the CC17:33
pittiok, so we have a plan now?17:34
sabdflonly thing to be sure of is the voters roll17:34
pitti#action pitti to send out call for nominations to u-d-a@, collect proposals for two weeks, and send to sabdfl17:34
meetingologyACTION: pitti to send out call for nominations to u-d-a@, collect proposals for two weeks, and send to sabdfl17:34
sabdfli'll take nominations by direct email (can be cc'd to TB@ if folks want a nomination on the record)17:34
pittisabdfl: ah, you collect the votes? WFM too, then I don't proxy17:34
sabdflpls cc the nominee (and if public pls check with them before nominating them :)17:34
pittiack17:34
sabdfli'll double-check with nominees17:34
sabdfland then discuss nominations with current TB, just to give the conspiracy theorists a head start17:35
sabdflthen we'll have a shortlist, and a vote, and a TB17:35

sabdflphew17:36

sabdflAOB?17:37
pittithanks sabdfl17:37
pitti#topic AOB17:37
mdeslaurthanks sabdfl17:37
infinityI was wondering if the size of the TB is something to discuss for this election too.17:37
pittigood point17:37
infinityNamely that, minus sabdfl, who isn't usually present for votes, we are an even number.17:37
infinityWhich is awkward.17:37
pittiTB tasks have dramatically reduced over the years17:37
infinity5 might be better than 6.17:37
pittisabdfl: ^17:38
infinityNot that we often disagree, but if someone poses the right question, it could happen. :P17:39
pittiinfinity: FWIW, +1 from me17:43

mdeslaurI have nothing17:43
