| ahoneybun | if anyone knows where nik90 hangs let him know I fixed his Ubuntu Membership going out | 05:22 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimonq2 | ahoneybun: Not saying it was, but what if it was intentional? | 05:23 |
| tsimonq2 | (i.e. what if he doesn't want to be part of Ubuntu any more?) | 05:23 |
| pleia2 | I'm really uncomfortable with this favoritism of auto-renewing some people and not others | 06:17 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: That's also sort of my point | 06:17 |
| tsimonq2 | Regardless, I'd support just not auto-renewing at all unless they directly email the membership board. | 06:18 |
| pleia2 | agreed | 06:18 |
| pleia2 | that's how it's supposed to be | 06:18 |
| pleia2 | not sure how people got into the habit of doing this for people they know :\ | 06:18 |
| tsimonq2 | I don't know... | 06:19 |
| pleia2 | plenty of "important" people in ubuntu have membership lapse, just yesterday was bapoumba and she was a forums council member and stuff | 06:19 |
| pleia2 | no one autorenwed her | 06:19 |
| tsimonq2 | Regardless, sometimes people have privately emailed membership board members saying "oh shoot, I forgot to renew it, could you do that for me?" in which case the member should probably email the board explaining that. | 06:20 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that's no problem | 06:20 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: I think we're on the same page here :) | 06:20 |
| * pleia2 nods | 06:20 | |
| tsimonq2 | (I mean, we agree, I can't word good right now, -> caffeine) :) | 06:21 |
| pleia2 | I'll email the membership board in the morning to see if we can get this practice sorted | 06:22 |
| pleia2 | now I need rest ;) | 06:22 |
| tsimonq2 | pleia2: great minds think alike, had the same idea when I was making my coffee ;) | 06:34 |
| tsimonq2 | sleep well | 06:34 |
| ahoneybun | honestly I don't even know who is on the board and who is not anymore | 06:36 |
| ahoneybun | I just saw a name I knew and did it | 06:37 |
| popey | ahoneybun: in answer to your original question, Nekhelesh hangs out on Telegram mostly | 08:13 |
| hggdh | in general, it is difficult to know if a membership lapse was accidental or willful; I have never seen a written rule/decision on that, but... | 15:06 |
| hggdh | what I have heard from other members thru the years is we wait for the ex-member to request re-instatement | 15:07 |
| hggdh | what *I* have done is I would contact some that I personally knew, and ask them if they noticed, and take action depending on the response | 15:08 |
| hggdh | there is also the question of "how long is long enough": a membership lapsed 1/2/3/4/5 days/weeks/months/years. Should we renew, or must the person re-apply? | 15:10 |
| PaulW2U | Just my opinion as an Ubuntu Member but if an Ubuntu Member gets an email prompting them to take an action and they don't then that is *their* problem. If someone else with the appropriate access renews on their behalf then what is the point of the two year rule? | 15:28 |
| PaulW2U | Once a membership has expired than that is for that Ubuntu Member to deal with him/herself if there is a need to do so. | 15:34 |
| hggdh | PaulW2U: not always you get an email. I myself have lapsed at least once because I did not receive the warnings (or, if I did, it was lost somehow). Apart for that, yes, I agree. | 15:55 |
