rbasakQuorum!19:04
* rbasak falls out of his chair19:04
bdmurrayIts not quorum because cyphermox isn't on the dmb.19:04
rbasakOh :-(19:05
bdmurrayWho wants to be the meeting runner?19:05
sil2100I could19:06
sil2100Should be a quick meeting19:06

sil2100I don't think we have too many of those, on the agenda I only see the one action from rbasak regarding Aron's request19:07
sil2100rbasak: did that get resolved in the end?19:07
rbasakI just followed up. I propose that we consider my action item done now, unless happyaron replies?19:07
rbasak(in which case we can pick it up as new work again)19:07
sil2100Ok19:08
sil2100Since we don't have anything else, let's move on19:08
bdmurrayWorks fo me19:08
sil2100#topic Board business19:09
=== meetingology changed the topic of #ubuntu-meeting to: Ubuntu Meeting Grounds: Please leave swords by the door | Calendar/Scheduled meetings: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendars | Logs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs | Meetingology documentation: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology | DMB Meeting | Current topic: Board business
sil2100A separate topic for that, I guess we're currently officially missing one person in the DMB19:09
sil2100Like, from the required 7-people19:09
sil2100+ some others stopped attending19:10
bdmurrayThat's true we never received nominations when I sent the 2nd call out.19:10
sil2100cyphermox: did you want to re-apply?19:10
cyphermoxyes19:10
sil2100...you're in! DONE, let's go home19:10
sil2100Kidding, but yeah, in this case we only have one candidate, so I guess no voting here is needed?19:11
bdmurrayrbasak: One idea we discussed at our sprint was reducing the number of members.19:11
bdmurraysil2100: but Adam's membership expires shortly19:11
sil2100We're anyway operating usually with 4-5 people19:12
rbasakbdmurray: wouldn't that make our lack of average attendance worse? Or is it really to reduce quorum?19:12
rbasakIn which case, perhaps we should reduce quorum while keeping the membership size the same?19:12
rbasak(we might have to ask the TB for that)19:12
sil2100We could, but as said we anyway basically have 4-5 active board members19:13
sil2100And there doesn't seem to be much interest from other people to join the DMB19:14
bdmurrayI guess its really to reduce quorum but we also have a few members who don't make meetings often.19:14
sil2100At least from the recent call for nominations19:14
bdmurrayIs it worth keeping them on?19:14
rbasakPerhaps we should ask them. I appreciate the effort to try to sort this out, but I'm not sure that reducing the size of the DMB will help, as in the long term that just means that we have a smaller pool to try to find quorum from.19:15
rbasakOTOH, as you point out, we may not have much choice.19:15
rbasakBut in that case, perhaps we can just leave some seats vacant, with a reduced quorum?19:16
bdmurrayLeave them vacant with a permanent "help wanted" sign?19:16
rbasakPerhaps, yes. I haven't thought through possible consequences of this mind.19:17
rbasakAnd we could also ask the absent members if they want to step down, which would reduce our quorum (depending on its exact definition, but I think all would consider not counting vacant seats reasonable).19:18
bdmurrayOkay, so we don't have quorum now in this meeting so I think the first bit of work should be getting cyphermox re-added for some period of time.19:18
sil2100Should we write down an action item for that?19:18
rbasakhttps://launchpad.net/~developer-membership-board/+members says he's current, until 4 August?19:18
sil2100Oh, indeed, wait, but we saw him being expired right?19:19
bdmurrayOh somebody sync'ed up him with Adam.19:19
sil2100I guess that's sorted out then..?19:19
sil2100I wonder who though19:20
bdmurrayNot for long...19:20
bdmurraySo which members should we reach out to?19:20
rbasakAll those not here, IMHO.19:20
sil2100+119:21
rbasak(which would then cover everyone)19:21
sil2100Who would like to get this action item?19:21
bdmurrayIf there are 3 people then 3 people can take it.19:21
bdmurrayRather than giving 1 person all the work lets divy it up.19:22
sil2100#action rbasak, bdmurray and sil2100 to ask absent DMB members if they want to continue being part of the DMB19:22
meetingologyACTION: rbasak, bdmurray and sil2100 to ask absent DMB members if they want to continue being part of the DMB19:22
rbasakack19:22
sil2100Should I go and ask infinity maybe? Although I think I already can guess his answer19:23
cyphermoxsil2100: bdmurray: infinity synced my expiration to his.19:26
sil2100Even with this covered we really need to discuss what next - maybe there will be more interest in a wider call for nominations? Maybe we should announce that somewhere else as well? bdmurray did you send it to the devel ML too?19:26
sil2100cyphermox: ah, ok19:26
bdmurrayIt made it to the fridge and stuff19:26
bdmurrayrbasak: Could you draft an argument for why we should reduce quorum and keep the member count at 7?19:29
rbasakOK19:30
bdmurrayAt one point in time I thought someone mentioned you didn't *need* to be a core-dev to be on the dmb.19:30
rbasakI do recall that. Though I am dubious at the proposition TBH.19:30
bdmurrayrbasak: The TB just reduced their member count IIRC - so maybe there's a reson for that.19:31
rbasakIIRC the TB reduced to become odd without sabdfl for draw-breaking purposes.19:31
bdmurraycyphermox, sil2100: Do you have an opinion on non core-devs in the DMB? My thought was if its okay we might get more applicants.19:32
bdmurrayI'm not saying I'm in favor of it though.19:33
sil2100hm, wasn't it like that?19:33
cyphermoxwell the usual point was that not being a core-dev, you weren't as much in a position to evaluate on things you haven't necessarily done before19:33
sil2100I remember someone mentioning being part of the DMB while being MOTU19:33
cyphermoxbut I'm not sure even opening it to all developers will necessarily improve the response to calls for nominations19:33
cyphermoxI think we've already been working with MOTUs and core-devs in the DMB in the past, it was never "just core-devs"19:34
sil2100I have no strong opinion here, but I would like someone to have at least MOTU privilages personally19:35
sil2100Although core-devs seem to be the best fit for board members, especially as per what cyphermox said19:36
bdmurrayThat's enough of a consensus for me then.19:36
cyphermoxthere's nothing wrong with not being in the core-dev or MOTU teams and being on the DMB per se19:37
cyphermoxthe idea is that those who evaluate applicants should be trusted, contributing members of the developer community (and that's why we submit DMB applicants to vote by the developer community at large)19:37
rbasakIt's possibly not up to us anyway, but the TB.19:38
cyphermoxthe "knowing what you're talking about part" is kind of a side-effect of being able to get the votes to be elected.19:38
rbasak...except when we can't get enough nominations for the seats available.19:39
jbichaI wasn't here earlier in the meeting, have you gotten any nominations yet?19:39
cyphermoxin that context, we don't have much choice but to reduce numbers, or do away with the DMB altogether and let the TB deal with the applications19:39
bdmurrayjbicha: No, we didn't really.19:39
sil2100jbicha: are you interested in nominating yourself?19:40
jbichaI was thinking about applying; I guess my biggest hesitation was the 2 year committment19:40
bdmurrayThat's only 52 meetings if that19:41
jbichalol19:41
bdmurrayWe won't expect you on holidays19:41
jbichaok, I'll go ahead and put my self-nomination in, probably later today19:42
rbasakThanks!19:43
sil2100jbicha: thanks!19:43
sil2100Ok, I guess there's not much more we can discuss here, right?19:43
bdmurraysil2100: we should clarify who is following up with the inactive members. you have infinity?19:43
sil2100bdmurray: yeah, I'll take infinity19:44
bdmurrayI can talk to ben, that leaves micah.19:44
rbasakThat means me I think?19:45
sil2100Once we know how many 'free seats' we'll be having we can resume our discussion on what to do next19:46
sil2100Since from expirations we'll have 2 seats free but we already have 2 candidates, so that's settled - now depending if the inactive members want to still continue or not19:47
bdmurrayrbasak: you or cyphermox19:48
sil2100rbasak: will you take care of micah?19:51
rbasakack19:52
bdmurraysil2100: cyphermox should officially nominate himself too19:52
cyphermoxI did send an email weeks ago19:53
cyphermoxI will send it again19:53
sil2100You did? I probably missed it, a re-send would be welcome19:53
bdmurrayWas it during the 1st call or the 2nd call?19:53
sil2100We'll re-visit the situation next week19:53
sil2100I mean, next meeting19:53
sil2100Anything else for board business?19:53
bdmurrayThat's all I can think of.19:54
