flexiondotorgEvening17:02
elopiohello Martin. Congrats on the release!17:02
flexiondotorgThank you :-)17:02
flexiondotorgSo, I didn't finish everything I wanted from the last CC meeting.17:02
flexiondotorgSo we don't have a proper agenda.17:03
flexiondotorgBut we can improvise one last time.17:03
elopioflexiondotorg: please remember to start the bot.17:03
elopio+1 on building the agenda as we go. And I have a point I would like to propose related to video chats. Also, I would like to talk about the loco council candidates.17:04
elopioI think that's it from me.17:04
flexiondotorg#startmeeting17:04
meetingologyMeeting started Thu Oct 19 17:04:40 2017 UTC.  The chair is flexiondotorg. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology.17:04
meetingologyAvailable commands: action commands idea info link nick17:04
flexiondotorgRight, let's see who could make it :-)17:04
flexiondotorgelopio jose wxl ahoneybun elacheche marcoceppi You all here?17:05
wxlyes17:05
elacheche+1 elopio.. I'd like to plan a meeting with the LC members a while after the new team is chosen.. We have a big issue in keeping active LoCos and contributors.. We need to change something..17:05
elopioyes17:06
ahoneybunhere17:06
flexiondotorgI'm sure I saw jose earlier too.17:06
flexiondotorgSo, I was talking about moving the agenda prep, meeting summaries and CC information to the Ubuntu Community Hub last time.17:08
flexiondotorgI have madea start on that, but didn't finish.17:08
flexiondotorgWe have a category over there and half the content from the wiki is moved.17:08
flexiondotorgTomorrow I'll complete that.17:08
ahoneybuncool thanks flexiondotorg17:08
flexiondotorgAnd post a meeting summary for this meeting an open an agenda for the next neeting so we can ask for feedback/ideas etc.17:09
wxlexcellent17:10
elopio+1. Thank you flexiondotorg17:10
flexiondotorgSo, is everyone signed up on the hub?17:10
wxli think moving forward, that's the number one thing we can do: be approachable to the community and transparent in our work17:10
* wxl is17:10
flexiondotorg+117:10
elopioflexiondotorg: you didn't post the summary for the past meeting. Do you want me to do it so you can continue with your plan?17:10
wxlyes, that would be imperative17:11
flexiondotorgelopio: Feel free to post your summary notes in the Hub.17:11
wxli had thought someone (elopio?) offered to translate???17:11
flexiondotorgI'm an admin there and I'll add anything from mine that is relevant.17:11
flexiondotorgI'm going to make a meeting template.17:11
elopiowxl: I translated the full log.17:12
wxlyou are amazing, sir :)17:12
elopioI will post the summary, and translate it too. I can do it for this meeting also.17:12
flexiondotorgBrilliant!17:12
flexiondotorgSo, other topics we discussed last time were potentially using video/voice calls.17:13
flexiondotorgAnyone got thoughts on that?17:13
wxlfor the community, correct?17:13
flexiondotorgWell, I wasn't clear on that.17:13
elopioI have opinions there! Anybody wants to go before me?17:13
wxlwell let's start by separating this17:13
wxllet's first talk about doing video/voice calls as a way of providing a platform for the community to reach us17:14
wxlthat said, go for it, elopio17:14
elopioso, I have been talking with a few people from locos17:14
elopioon the last meeting, I assumed that video meetings for the council would be approved by everybody, but that clearly didn't happen. After talking with them, now I have a proposal:17:15
elopio- Let's keep these two council meetings per month on text/IRC.17:16
elopio- Let's start video meetings with people from locos every other week.17:16
elopioMy idea is something like ubuntu hour, every other friday. We can have two different hours, one for americas, one for europe. Maybe we can add one more later.17:16
joseunless it's voluntary, I'm not sure I like the idea. video meetings just add another barrier, on top if the language one.17:17
wxlmy feeling: i don't love video. i'll do it if need be, but my preference is definitely irc or some text platform. there were some comments from flocculant that agreed with that notion17:17
elopioWe tell all the locos to join a hangout at that time. Ideally, we are all at a meeting place, cafe, bar, coworking, so we can invite people to attend.17:17
wxlthat said, i would like us to offer BOTH17:17
wxlbecause there are some people that like video17:17
elopiooh, totally voluntary. If you want to host an ubuntu hour, we just suggest you to do it at the same time. So we can start working together, and talking, and having fun.17:18
wxlthe primary way to reach us would be through these meetings but we could also do a "follow up" meeting17:18
josethe mailing list should also work to contact us17:18
elopioso, my proposal is distributed Ubuntu hour connected through hangouts, every other firdday.17:18
wxli think the idea of having an additional video meeting is good as a way to invite people to reach us17:19
wxlwe've been inviting people to email us for years17:19
wxlbut obviously the emails aren't coming in17:19
elachecheI don't like video, but, if this will help solve some LoCos related issues, I'd like to be part of it!17:19
ahoneybunVideos are good put depends on the platform for some people17:19
josedon't leave email behind. real time communication is great, but what happens when we're not online?17:20
wxlto be clear: +1 for adding video as an additional form of communication and having a separate meeting for that purpose17:20
wxlalso to be further clear: i do not want to stop these meetings nor email. these should be our PRIMARY form of communication17:21
wxlof course, i'm old. i like text. we live in a world dominated by video. we are going to get people through video that we wouldn't otherwise17:21
joseso, cover all our bases17:22
wxlyes17:22
wxlall the base are belong to us17:22
joseI'm not old but I don't like video because it introduces a language and time barrier.17:22
elopiojose: for offline communication, we now have the awesome hub!17:23
josewell, I wouldn't take that for CC communications.17:23
elopiomy proposal last week was to replace textual meetings. My proposal this week is to meet on video additionally.17:23
wxli agree with that proposal17:24
josewell17:24
elopiojose: if somebody needs to talk to us privately, she can send an email. If the discussion is public, it should be on the hub, per last meeting discussion.17:24
josethe CC used to have these monthly meetings, as well as bi-weekly meetings on hangouts17:24
wxland i really want us to work more towards transparency. i don't want to hide our conversations unless we need to protect someone's privacy.17:24
elacheche+1 wxl17:25
josenow, transparency doesn't mean we have to host everything publicly. it's more about providing key information.17:25
joseit's no use if we have a one-hour video online if we just rumble about things17:25
flexiondotorgJust an FYI, we can't embed YouTube videos in the Ubuntu Communty Hub.17:25
joseinstead, a detailed report with key items works better17:25
wxlrumbling about things is a great way to guage the community17:25
wxlwe're not here to serve the community council17:26
wxlwe're here to serve the community17:26
joseper onair metrics, people don't watch more than 10m of video17:26
joseactually, I would like to see the onair metrics before we move forward17:26
elopiojose: I'm not proposing video council meetings anymore. I'm proposing informal video chats with the people who want to join.17:26
wxlyes, elopio, yes17:26
wxli would like to move forward with the experiment and then take metrics of that17:27
wxlonair is not necessarily indicitive of what we'd be doing17:27
joseI have to drop now but I'll write in later17:27
* chiluk is lurking.17:27
elopiohello chiluk :)17:27
chilukSo you guys mentioned the hub, but what's the link to it?17:28
elopiocommunity.ubuntu.com17:28
elopioso, who would like to join the ubuntu hour on air experiment next friday?17:28
flexiondotorgFriday's a tricky for me because we often schedule other events then.17:29
elopiowith a couple of us, we can see how it goes and then decide if it's worth to keep promoting it.17:29
elopioflexiondotorg: would you like us to try a different day, or to go ahead without you?17:29
elachecheelopio: time?17:30
flexiondotorgWe what works for most people?17:30
flexiondotorgThere will be Fridays I can make it.17:30
elopioelacheche: I'm thinking a couple of hours after lunch time. I don't know, for this side of the world maybe 19 UTC.17:30
wxli'm game17:31
flexiondotorgSo, who can help with that ^17:31
wxlalthough i sure wish we'd use matrix grumble grumble grumble17:31
elopioor maybe even later, 21UTC. For europe/africa, you will have to decide what's best.17:31
elacheche7pm UTC, That's great for me..17:31
elachecheanything after 7pm utc is good to me17:31
flexiondotorgOK, so that is three of us.17:31
wxli can do that i think17:31
elopiowxl: I would love to use matrix. But sadly, that excludes me :( There's no way I can make it with my bandwidth17:32
wxlbummer, elopio :(17:32
flexiondotorgSo elopio will you own organising those?17:32
elopioalright, let's start with 19 UTC next week, and see what happens.17:32
elopioflexiondotorg: yes, well, the first one. :) I'll need help with the following ones.17:32
wxlalso i'd like to define organizing as getting the word out17:33
elachecheelopio: my bandwidth is very bad too, but I'll try17:33
wxlthis is something we should broadcast far and wide. across all community mailing lists. the forums. community.u.c. everywher.e17:33
elopioelacheche: you'll probably be fine with google hangouts. Worst case, you will be audio only. But we can test it before.17:33
elachecheNo problem :) :)17:34
flexiondotorgelopio: Thoughts about using the Hub to gather agenda feedback for LoCo meeting?17:34
popey+1 from me :)17:34
elopioflexiondotorg: do you mean council or loco meeting?17:34
popeyI would love there to be more event and loco based activity there17:34
flexiondotorgwxl Yes, some else we discussed is broadening the social reach of the CC.17:34
wxlplease organize a test time with us, elopio. preferably not 5 minutes before the meeting XD17:34
flexiondotorgANd I'll do the social thing.17:34
flexiondotorgWho can own posting to the MLs?17:35
elopiowxl: will do. And let's try together to make the invitation reach everybody.17:35
wxli can do it if elopio gets the details together and emails me17:35
wxls/it/the MLs/17:35
elopioflexiondotorg: anyway, I'm +1 on using the forum for everything. After this meeting I can also start a topic to gather agenda items for the following one.17:36
elopiosorry, not forum, hub.17:36
elopiohonest mistake. :S17:36
flexiondotorgelopio: OK, that's fine. Do you mind if I edit that though?17:36
elopioflexiondotorg: I do not.17:36
wxlum, community is discourse, right?17:37
flexiondotorgI'd like to start to create a template for this stuff, to keep things consistent and easy to do in the future.17:37
elopiothat's very nice of you.17:37
elachechewxl: yep17:37
elopiowxl yes, the community hub is discourse.17:37
wxli'm surprised is doesn't do youtube embeds17:38
popeyKnown issue with firewalls.17:38
wxlahhhh17:38
popeyI'm working with IS to get it fixed17:38
flexiondotorgwxl Discourse does. But security requirements for our hosted stuff doesn't.17:38
popeyit's on the radar17:38
elopiothank you popey.17:38

elopio-testwhat??? riot disconnected me17:46
popeysnap install irccloud-desktop17:47
popey;)17:47
elopio-testthis has been solid, until now.17:47
elopio-testoh well, I'll read the logs.17:47
elopio-testwxl: do you know how many people have been proposed to the loco council?17:47
wxlelopio-test: i think 5 if i remember correctly, but i'd have to count17:48
elopio-testwxl: how many do we need to make the voting?17:48
wxlelopio-test: do you mean how many until we've filled all the seats, how many until we have quorum, or what?17:49
elopio-testwxl: I'm not sure what I mean. I guess my question is: should I keep trying to convince more people to propose? I don't have many more options left, I don't know many ubuntu members.17:50
wxlelopio-test: let me count17:51
wxlelopio-test: gimme a sec to wade through the spam XD17:55
elopio-testno hurries.17:56
wxlelopio-test: i count 6. i also see that bhavi and nhaines (and myself) also said they would be willing to step up. i'm not sure about them, but i really only want to step up if i'm needed.18:03
wxldo you want me to msg the names i have?18:04
elopio-testwxl: yes, please, to see if some of the ones I convinced forgot to apply.18:05
elopio-testlet me know if bhavi and nhaines need some more convincing to continue.18:06
wxlelopio-test: the post says 5 open positions, which will replace the four of us (including bhavi and nhaines and myself) that are expiring. svij expires in january, but i take it he's pretty much not able to help too much right now, so having 6 isn't a bad thing18:13
elopio-testwxl: yes, it seems we'll be able to do the voting without issues. Thank you!18:14
wxli'll try to get in touch with bhavi and nhaines18:15
elopio-testI'll be away figuring out what's going on with matrix. I'm available on telegram if needed.18:16
elopio-testand I'll make summaries/translations for the hub. See you later18:17
wxlsounds good18:17
wxlemail me with the details and i'll make sure all the mailing lists get info on the video18:17
