[11:46] <DiogoConstantino> hi all
[11:47] <Kilos> Hello
[11:55] <DiogoConstantino> hi jaime and Christoph3, nice of you guys to come
[11:55] <Christoph3> Hi DiogoConstantino
[11:55] <DiogoConstantino> hi there marius_quabeck
[11:57] <Wild_Man> hi DiogoConstantino
[11:57] <DiogoConstantino> hi Wild_Man
[12:00] <DiogoConstantino> I'm on the menu for today :P
[12:00] <diddledan> hello
[12:00] <DiogoConstantino> hi diddledan
[12:01] <DiogoConstantino> hi tcarreira thank you for joining
[12:01] <Kilos> always nice to have support
[12:01] <DiogoConstantino> very
[12:02] <DiogoConstantino> Can't say I can't stop being nervous
[12:02] <DiogoConstantino> so it's nice to have friendly support
[12:02] <Kilos> actually it is rather nerve wracking but just stay calm
[12:03] <diddledan> ok. I think I'm ready
[12:03] <Wild_Man> It's going to be a friendly meeting, no need to worry
[12:03] <diddledan> #startmeeting Ubuntu Membership Board 12:00
[12:03] <meetingology> Meeting started at 12:03:35 UTC.  The chair is diddledan.  Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology
[12:03] <meetingology> Available commands: action, commands, idea, info, link, nick
[12:04] <diddledan> Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board meeting for January 20th 2021. The wiki page for the Review Boards are available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards
[12:04] <diddledan> We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off.
[12:04] <diddledan> The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO).
[12:04] <diddledan> Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions.
[12:04] <diddledan> During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote.
[12:04] <diddledan> When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If the majority of the voting board members vote +1, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!)
[12:04] <diddledan> Now, with any further ado, lets get started with the first applicant...
[12:04] <diddledan> #topic Diogo Constantino
[12:05] <diddledan> Hi, DiogoConstantino , could you introduce yourself to the board and share the links to your wiki page and launchpad porofile
[12:05] <DiogoConstantino> This is the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DiogoConstantino
[12:05] <DiogoConstantino> This is launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~diogoconstantino
[12:06] <DiogoConstantino> I'm using my own name, not a nickname
[12:07] <DiogoConstantino> I've been a huge fan, user, and I believe a continued and good community contributor for Ubuntu
[12:07] <DiogoConstantino> I've been doing lots of community organizing, mostly in Portugal
[12:08] <DiogoConstantino> also contributing to building bridges between European LoCo teams
[12:08] <Kilos> DiogoConstantino why did you take so long to apply for membership?
[12:08] <DiogoConstantino> I've also done some promoting of Ubuntu, by doing talks about Ubuntu in community events
[12:08] <Wild_Man> DiogoConstantino, do you have plans to get involved in the Ubuntu community in other ways, like offering support?
[12:09] <DiogoConstantino> I took so long for several reasons, not that good reasons
[12:09] <Kilos> ok
[12:10] <DiogoConstantino> one was that I dind't felt it was affecting my hability to contribute
[12:10] <DiogoConstantino> the other was the wiki itself it really is not working that well, and this means I needed to have some time to prepare it
[12:11] <Wild_Man> That's a very good way to look at it
[12:11] <Kilos> agreed
[12:11] <DiogoConstantino> on second question I do litle of that
[12:11] <DiogoConstantino> usually on community in person events
[12:11] <DiogoConstantino> or on our ubuntu-pt telegram group
[12:11] <DiogoConstantino> but there's no much record of it
[12:12] <DiogoConstantino> so I didn't mentioned it
[12:12] <DiogoConstantino> on the wiki
[12:13] <DiogoConstantino> it's also on my plans to incentivize the ubuntu-pt community to use more askubuntu
[12:13] <DiogoConstantino> so that will likely lead to more of that by me and others
[12:13] <diddledan> Any more questions? I'll also open the floor for anyone else in here to contribute their testimonials
[12:14] <Kilos> diddledan do your supporters want to add anything
[12:14] <Bashing-om> Solid candidate - I have no questions or further issues to discuss.
[12:14] <Wild_Man> No questions
[12:14] <tylnesh> Hello! I'd like to contribute a testimonial, if it's still needed
[12:15] <diddledan> Kilos: tabfail :-p
[12:15] <jpt_pt_94> Great candidate
[12:15] <DiogoConstantino> tylnesh jaime tcarreira Christoph3 ?
[12:15] <Wild_Man> Please feel free to do so tylnesh
[12:15] <Christoph3> good morning to all, i would like to share my testimonial about Constantino
[12:16] <Kilos> hi Christoph3 go  ahead
[12:16] <tylnesh> Diogo is an amazing candidate for Ubuntu Membership and I was honestly surprised he wasn't a member already. He's been part of and organized several European Ubuntu events, and is very helpful even to the smallest of communities.
[12:17] <Wild_Man> Thank you tylnesh for your testimonial
[12:17] <tylnesh> He's been a great moral support and gave guidance in our effort to restore the Czech-slovakian Ubuntu community as well.
[12:18] <Kilos> great
[12:18] <Christoph3> he "Diogo Constantino" and the ubuntu-pt group has been great for me personally , learning things about linux everyday, his podcast teaches a lot about linux to newbies like myself specially in the times that we are now security is a must and thanks to Diogo ans his ubuntu-pt mates I learned a lot about how to protect my self and do things the
[12:18] <Christoph3> right way
[12:18] <Kilos> diddledan up to you
[12:19] <diddledan> thank you Christoph3 :-)

[12:23] <Kilos> thanks diddledan
[12:23] <Bashing-om> congrats DiogoConstantino :D I look forward to where you go with this as a step up.
[12:23] <DiogoConstantino> are there any new steps (bureacracy)?
[12:23] <diddledan> I'll be doing some admin to get you added, you don't need to do anything else :-)
[12:24] <DiogoConstantino> Bashing-om: Apply the the new LoCo  Research Committee is my next goal
[12:24] <diddledan> you can request your certificate at https://forms.canonical.com/certificate/ once I've added you to the team
[12:25] <Maik> diddledan: are those still handed out? I requested one since october and still didn't receive the certificate
[12:25] <DiogoConstantino> I still have a couple days to be nominated
[12:25] <diddledan> it takes a while
[12:27] <diddledan> see all the perks at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership#:~:text=The%20Perks.%201%20Voting%20privileges%20to%20confirm%20Ubuntu,dictator%20for%20life)%20Mark%20Shuttleworth.%20Example%20below:

[23:02] <nhaines> Everyone here?
[23:02] <toddy> o/

[23:02] <nhaines> toddy: Great to see you!
[23:03] <nhaines> But there's more than just you, I hope.  :)
[23:03] <teward> i'm neck deep in CLI right now
[23:04] <teward> but still here
[23:04] <toddy> where is joe?
[23:04] <nhaines> I'm always pretty comfy on the command line.
[23:04] <jose> caribbean?
[23:05] <Eickmeyer> o/
[23:05] <nhaines> Yay!
[23:05] <nhaines> Okay, well, let's begin.
[23:05] <teward> *shoves jose into the rubbish box*

[23:06] <meetingology> Current chairs: Eickmeyer, jose, nhaines, teward, toddy, wxl
[23:06] <nhaines> Welcome everyone!
[23:06] <nhaines> There's no agenda for this meeting.  It occured to me about 45 minutes ago that maybe I should've put out a call for topics on the Ubuntu Community Hub.
[23:06] <nhaines> So that's something I promise to remember in the future!
[23:07] <nhaines> Fortunately, we still have stuff to talk about.
[23:07] <nhaines> #topic Old business
[23:07] <nhaines> #subtopic Local Communities Research Committee
[23:07] <toddy> I have send the call for nomination for the LCRC.
[23:07] <nhaines> The information is still here:
[23:07] <nhaines> #link https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/local-communities-research-committee/20186
[23:07] <jose> I know we received at least a couple interested people
[23:07] <toddy> The nomination will close on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at 23:59 UTC
[23:07] <nhaines> Nominations are still open for another 3 days.
[23:08] <Eickmeyer> Ok, then not much action we can do there.
[23:08] <Eickmeyer> Just, after the nominations have closed, somoene needs to do the election.
[23:08] <toddy> Yes, I can do it
[23:08] <nhaines> Great!
[23:09] <jose> I will put out a blog post about it to get more traction
[23:09] <toddy> jose: good
[23:09] <nhaines> #action toddy will set up the LCRC election after the nomination period.
[23:09] <meetingology> ACTION: toddy will set up the LCRC election after the nomination period.
[23:09] <nhaines> #action jose will promote the LCRC nominations via blog post
[23:09] <meetingology> ACTION: jose will promote the LCRC nominations via blog post
[23:10] <nhaines> Do we want to extend the nomination period?
[23:10] <jose> a couple more weeks, I'd say
[23:10] <nhaines> Okay.  That sounds smart, since we'll be focusing more attention on it.
[23:11] <nhaines> How's February 6th sound?  That's 14 more days.
[23:11] <jose> +1
[23:11] <toddy> yes, we can do it like this
[23:12] <nhaines> I don't feel like this is a controversial change, and of course the LCRC is very important.  We'll increase the nomination period by two weeks.
[23:12] <nhaines> #action LCRC nomination period will be extended to February 6, 2021 23:59 UTC.
[23:12] <meetingology> ACTION: LCRC nomination period will be extended to February 6, 2021 23:59 UTC.
[23:13] <Eickmeyer> +1
[23:13] <nhaines> Does someone want to hunt down the Discourse posts and update everything?
[23:13] <toddy> yes, I can do it
[23:13] <nhaines> We'll need another email, too.
[23:14] <nhaines> toddy: You're the best.  :)
[23:14] <wxl> oops sorry
[23:14] <toddy> hello wxl
[23:14] <nhaines> #action toddy will update LCRC announcements with the new date.
[23:14] <meetingology> ACTION: toddy will update LCRC announcements with the new date.
[23:14] <nhaines> wxl: Glad you made it!
[23:14] <Eickmeyer> *suddenly a wild wxl appears*
[23:14] <teward> *summons wxl, then discards them in the rubbish bin*
[23:15] <teward> :P
[23:15] <nhaines> Okay, so I think that's everything for the LCRC.
[23:15] <nhaines> #subtopic Board/Council elections
[23:15] <nhaines> #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/communitycouncil/+bug/1903346
[23:16] <jose> how are we doing re that
[23:16] <nhaines> wxl: Looks like you've gotten the Lubuntu team sorted out!  :)
[23:16] <teward> been a little swamped the past two weeks with $MajorProject that got put in my lap at $PayingJob
[23:16] <teward> so keep that on the radar
[23:16] <wxl> well i mean i'm on the lubuntu council and one of the biggest contributors, so yeah, we're on it XD
[23:16] <teward> nhaines: see above  (carry over the task)
[23:17] <nhaines> wxl: All the better thatn you're on top of things, then. :)
[23:17] <wxl> we just discussed the fact that we've got an election to get started on soonish
[23:17] <nhaines> teward: Are you comfortable with the task or would you like help?
[23:17] <teward> Help welcome for the other councils.  But I can speak for DMB, because that was restaffed very recently (and I'm on it)
[23:18] <teward> and of course wxl is Lubuntu Council so
[23:18] <wxl> just making sure you got it in all the noise :)
[23:18] <wxl> oops
[23:18] <teward> nhaines: we can remove the assign to me, but we can make notes DNB was delegated to me, and Lubuntu delegated to wxl for handling
[23:19] <teward> because wxl is on Lubuntu Council heh
[23:19] <nhaines> Ha, sounds good.
[23:19] <teward> beb I said "recently" for DMB but...
[23:19] <wxl> i know the kubuntu folks, too, so i could check in with them if need be
[23:19] <teward> 2020-02-25 is when I was on it, as was rafaeldtinoco
[23:19] <teward> we expire 2022-05-11
[23:19] <teward> so we're *really* good there
[23:20] <teward> for DMB
[23:20] <wxl> kubuntu and lubuntu both have a pretty solid core so i doubt we're going to see tons of changes
[23:20] <nhaines> That both sounds like good news.
[23:20] <jose> are we missing any other than that?
[23:20] <nhaines> Okay, let's see where this is by next meeting.
[23:21] <wxl> the two i know nothing about are irc and forums
[23:21] <teward> jose: irc and forums are the only other two
[23:21] <jose> and how are we with those for expiration dates
[23:22] <teward> irc council, has several different expiry dataes, all this year though
[23:22] <nhaines> I can ask Flannel about the IRC Council.
[23:22] <wxl> kubuntu council is good until august. they have always been very consistent. i doubt we should worry there.
[23:22] <teward> with the exception of ~mellissa who expires 2021-11-29, the others expire 2021-05-31
[23:22] <teward> ... except for rww who is Owner
[23:22] <teward> and never expires
[23:22] <teward> er, well approved
[23:22] <nhaines> I can ask him, too.
[23:22] <teward> never expires thoug h
[23:23] <nhaines> Okay.
[23:23] <jose> we should check with dax
[23:23] <teward> nhaines: check with Unit193 and hggdh they're current admins on the team
[23:23] <teward> also dax (aka rww)
[23:23] <jose> Unit193 is unavailable this week
[23:23] <nhaines> #action nhaines will check in with the IRC Council for the current status.
[23:23] <meetingology> ACTION: nhaines will check in with the IRC Council for the current status.
[23:24] <nhaines> All right.  That's it for old business.
[23:24] <nhaines> #topic New business
[23:25] <nhaines> There's no agenda for this meeting.  Is there any business to consider this meeting?
[23:25] <wxl> nothing that i have
[23:25] <toddy> I have nothing for new business, I think
[23:26] <teward> yep nothing here either
[23:26] <nhaines> Okay, well, as the year progresses things will get more exciting.  :)
[23:26] <jose> not for now
[23:26] <jose> but I'll get some more stuff soon
[23:27] <nhaines> I have no doubt.
[23:27] <nhaines> #topic Other business
[23:27] <nhaines> #info The next meeting of the Ubuntu Community Council is on Wednesday 2021-02-03 23:00 UTC
[23:27] <wxl> i think once we get the lc kind of sorted we can maybe start working on putting together some fresh ideas
[23:27] <nhaines> I agree
[23:28] <nhaines> That will be exciting, too.
[23:28] <nhaines> Okay, so who's chairing the next meeting?  :)
[23:28] <wxl> not it ;)
[23:28] <teward> not me
[23:29] <nhaines> jose: What about you?
[23:29] <jose> can't, sorry
[23:29] <toddy> nhaines: maybe joe?
[23:29] <nhaines> Now we're narrowing it down!
[23:29] <jose> I'm a bit busy with work atm
[23:29] <teward> lol
[23:30] <nhaines> teward: You look like a convenient victim!
[23:30] <teward> already said not me
[23:30] <teward> same busy status right now
[23:30] <teward> with this huge project dropped on me
[23:30] <nhaines> Okay, maybe we'll have to draw lots.
[23:31] <teward> you can do it :P
[23:31] <wxl> ohhhh doesn't meetingology roll dice?
[23:31] <teward> again
[23:31] <toddy> nhaines: I can do it
[23:31] <nhaines> I'll do it unless I can pawn it off on someone else before then!
[23:31] <teward> it can yes
[23:31] <jose> #dice 6
[23:31] <nhaines> toddy: Would you mind?
[23:31] <Eickmeyer> Shoot, sorry I jumped out for a sec everyone.
[23:31] <jose> #roll 6
[23:31] <jose> we haven't asked Eickmeyer yet :)
[23:31] <wxl> it's eickmeyer then!
[23:31] <Eickmeyer> Yeah, I can't either.
[23:31] <nhaines> So close!
[23:32] <toddy> nhaines: so I do it.
[23:32] <nhaines> toddy: Thank you very much.
[23:32] <nhaines> #action toddy chairs the next meeting.
[23:32] <meetingology> ACTION: toddy chairs the next meeting.
[23:32] <wxl> thanks toddy!
[23:32] <wxl> i'll do the nexct one
[23:33] <nhaines> We have a head start on next meeting then!  \o/
[23:33] <nhaines> Okay, we'll see everyone back here on February 3rd, then.
[23:33] <wxl> maybe we should just start working into a regular rotation
[23:33] <nhaines> Probably.
[23:33] <nhaines> But that sounds like a problem for future us.
[23:33] <Eickmeyer> Lots of stuff going on at work, otherwise I would. :(
[23:33] <nhaines> Eickmeyer: it happens, that's fine.
[23:34] <wxl> ok scratch that then
[23:34] <jose> we'll get there, eventually.
[23:34] <jose> anyways
