joseimagine I'm not here23:12
toddywxl: are you here?23:13
joseconsidering it's been 15mins I would say we don't have quorum, and cancel this meeting23:15
nhainesI'd vote yes on that, but we don't have quorum...23:15
linaporrasSo... do we schedule this meeting for the next week, or just go until the firs meeting of april?23:16
madhensIf there is anything I can do to reach out to members to help ensure quorum for the next meeting, let me know. I could start doing reminder e-mails.23:17
linaporrasThis is the first meeting that we do not have quorum... I think that we can work in create the agenda with more time as a reminder...23:18

madhensI do have updates on some of the matters Jose brought to us, whenever you're finished with new business or another appropriate time23:25
linaporras#topic ESM and Standard Support vs. End of LIfe23:26
linaporraswe will be back on this on April, however the ubuntu member's wiki update is in progress...23:26
teward*punts jose into the void*23:26
toddyHi teward :)23:27
tewardblame my FT job for not being here earlier23:27
tewardsorry.23:27
linaporrasI correct myself, the wiki is updated... but when we go back to the topic, maybe we need to support clarifications on that23:27
linaporrashttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership23:27
tewardlinaporras: I remember Canonical saying it's a "Medium Effort" issue - and we don't have an eta on the ESM / Standard Support vs. EOL23:27
linaporras#chair Eickmeyer  teward23:27
meetingologyCurrent chairs: Eickmeyer, jose, linaporras, nhaines, teward, toddy, wxl23:27
Eickmeyerteward: It's Ok, we essentially just got started.23:27
tewardlinaporras: when you say 'the wiki is updated' to what extent?23:28
tewardoh i see23:28
linaporrasI quote the item from the wiki:23:28
linaporras"Ubuntu Advantage for up to 50 systems for access to ESM and Kernel Livepatching (Announcement post)"23:28
tewardlinaporras: I would suggest that we **strongly** tell the DMB to say "Limited Ubuntu Advantage coverage"23:29
tewardor word it to 'ESM Repositories and Kernel Livepatching only' to be more precise23:29
Eickmeyer^ Agreed23:29
Eickmeyer^ Yep23:29
linaporrasOH I guess I did not put u on CC, I will put u on CC and advice on that (i'll do that after this meeting)23:29
tewardleave **no room for interpretation** in that.23:29
madhensteward: Rhys' last update is that he's still waiting on guidance, which I think is due early April, for the official guidance.23:29
linaporras(cc in the email)23:29
tewardmadhens: not oging to bash you guys up at Canonical or otherwise23:30
tewardbut I've had numerous (and I mean NUMEROUS) discussions with the tech and infrastructure marketing teams at Canonical23:30
madhensOh, no worries! We need to know when squeaky wheels need grease.23:30
tewardand the details of "limited UA-I" vs. "UA-I Essential full coverage"23:30
linaporrasok, we have to go back to this topic on the next month for sure23:30
tewardmadhens: so RE: Ubuntu Advantage, I know the limits of what is "covered" by the limited Ubuntu Advantage ;)23:30
teward(i have additional benefits thanks to Mark like Landscape as a Service access, but that's beyond the UA-I et of stuff)23:31
teward*sips caffeine*23:31
linaporrasoks23:31
linaporras#topic IRC council update23:31
tewardbut yeah as for the definitions for ESM, End of SUpport, Etc. **Those** are needed to issue governance in other sections not just Membership and UA-I stuff23:31
tewardlinaporras: i have info on that23:31
linaporras+123:31
tewardIRC Council is all up for reelection.  Three are not going to be rerunning.23:31
tewardno details on the other two23:31
tewardi'm keeping a pulse on it23:32
tewardthe tentative schedule is on the original post lemme grab that link23:32
Eickmeyerteward: The other two are stepping-down early with the others.23:32
EickmeyerEssentially, all 5 positions are up.23:32
tewardEickmeyer: ah, okay, that was not what dax told me :P23:32
Eickmeyerteward: That's what the email said.23:32
tewardbut yes, with all five positions up, they're going to need 5 nominees.23:32
tewardhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-irc/2021-March/001912.html23:32
tewardEssentially, I'm keeping a pulse on it23:32
tewardif there's not enough nominations by the 5th IRCC said they'd just keep it open until they get enough nominations.23:33
tewardor... unless we stop it and do something more 'drastic'23:33
tewardI'm considering adding my name, the IRCC isn't a heavy-workload thing like Lubuntu Council or others are23:33
tewardbut i'm sitting to see if *any* nominations come in first23:33
tewards/sitting/sitting on my hands/23:33
tewardas i'm on ubuntu-irc@l.u.c i'll see any nominations as they're filed23:33
teward(been subbed to that list since Eons)23:34
linaporrasso this topic so far is updated and we will back with this in case they do not reach enough nominations23:34
tewardyep, i'll bring it up if there's not enough nominations.  OR if they have to keep extending it23:34
tewardworst case they get *zero* nominations (or 1 if I put my name in)23:34
linaporrasok23:35
linaporras#topic LCRC next steps23:35
tewardbut we'll cross that bridge when we get there for IRCC23:35
toddyok23:35
linaporrasRegarding the LCRC there is one person that have no answer my e-mail, however... I will try my best to schedule the meeting for the coming weekend or monday... which seems to suit for most of the members...  If everything is ok, I hope to announce the event no later than friday...  I will be in touch with u with updates on this23:36
toddyI will try to be present at the meeting.23:37
nhainesMe too, if I'm available.23:37
linaporrasthat's great!23:37
linaporrasI do not have any more news on that, and that was the last topic.23:38
toddyI think we don't need all of the cc but it would be nice if three or four could be there23:38
linaporrastotally agree!23:39
linaporrasI guess is other topic23:39
toddyThan new business. We got the topic of the shop on the Mailing list23:39
tewardtoddy: I don't think we can do anything on that.23:39
linaporrasthe ubuntu products and web shop...23:39
madhensI have an update from Popey on the shop23:39
teward#topic Ubuntu Products / Web Shop (ML item)23:39
linaporrasjajaja yes toddy23:39
tewardmadhens: go ahead23:39
linaporras#topic  Ubuntu products and web shop23:39
tewardlinaporras: i already was 3 steps ahead sorry :)23:40
tewardERR:CAFFEINATED23:40
madhensBasically, the conversations and plans around it are still delayed because of COVID.23:40
linaporrasSorry teward  I sent it befor read it :s23:40
toddy:D23:40
madhensShipping is a major issue, and there is still a bunch of merchandise in BlueFin, which is still locked down.23:40
madhensSo it it's been on hold, and we do plan to do it, but it hasn't moved forward for a bit. I will find out who I need to talk to directly and see if I can get any more detailed of an update for the next meeting.23:42
linaporrasoh! and is there  any news regarding when the lock down will end...?23:42
tewardmadhens: and all: I believe we might want to make a note in the thread that "Because there's COVID, we have no ETA for this at a time."23:42
tewards/there's/of/23:42
linaporrasI mean the lock down of BlueFIn23:42
tewardthat this is still on the radar, but because of COVID and the lockdown on BlueFin and other things going on we don't have an ETA at this time of it returning.23:42
madhensI will definitely add that note, that progress is also contingent on ending/mitigating a pandemic. :(23:42
tewardlinaporras: i meant in general so they don't think we're blowing them off23:42
tewardmadhens: indeed.23:42
toddymadhens: thanks for the update23:43
madhensOf course!23:43
linaporrasoh ok... hope vaccines help to unlock us all  soon!!!!!!!!23:44
tewardsecond dose of the Pfizer vaccine for me in 2 weeks23:44
teward(April 2)23:44
toddylinaporras: I hope so23:44
linaporrasoh teward  I wish I have that luck here... :s23:44
linaporrasGlad for u23:45
linaporrasSo... i think that we have finished that topic.23:45
toddyok23:45
linaporrasis there any other topic that u want to discuss?23:45
tewardother than the fact IRC irritates me sometimes, not really :P23:45
nhainesI don't have anything else at this time.23:45
linaporrasjajajajajaj23:45
madhensI have updates on Inclusive Naming23:45
toddynope23:45
linaporrasoh that's cool23:45
linaporras#topic  Inclusive Naming23:46
toddymadhens: Oh which kind of updates :)23:46
EickmeyerI'm still waiting to get my first dose, but Idaho is super slow and even though I'm high risk I can't get mine yet.23:46
linaporrasgo ahed madhens23:46
toddyEickmeyer: Germany is also slow :/23:46
linaporras*ahead23:46
madhensSo there is a very organized group at Canonical working on this, getting buy in from teams, and not only identifying artifacts to change, but working on guidelines for the future. I am on the group, and we just had our kickoff meeting today. While it seems like initial focus is on canonical-produced documents, i am stressing the next stage should be working with the volunteer community for volunteer-produced23:48
madhensdocumentation.23:48
nhainesOh, that's great.  :)23:48
toddycool23:48
EickmeyerJust booked my first dose. Next week opened-up so I jumped on that.23:48
madhensI had to do the kickoff meeting in a car with a horrible phone, because coming back from first vaccine (!), but things are very much organized and in motion!23:48
linaporrasThat's really good news....23:49
toddymadhens: that are very good news23:49
toddyI like the idea with inclusive naming :)23:49
madhensAlso, slightly related, but Women's Resource Group did a workshop attended by 70 people, including VPs, and I made sure to mention we should have actions and future events that involve the entire community - employees and volunteers.23:49
tewardnice!23:50
nhainesThese are good developments.23:51
linaporrasI think that some kind of awareness for the community regarding Inclusive naming could be useful... I do not know... maybe a wiki page, videos... or both...  the reason why I think that is useful is that with some colleagues here in my country they are not too much aware and still they are not sensitive with this topic...23:51
linaporrasawesome madhens23:51
madhensAnd those are our major updates! Lubuntu legal and community funding are still progressing. Community funding quite well, Lubuntu more slowly.23:51
madhensThanks all!23:52
linaporrasDo u think that for next meeting the funding could be a topic... or ...?23:52
tewardmadhens: regarding "Community Funding" we need to have an internal discussion on what people can request from the community funding pools.23:52
linaporraswait more jeje23:52
linaporrasI agree, and what, how much, how frequently...23:53
tewardbecause there's **extreme** discrepancy between what's been published on what you can request, and what the 'practice' is so things need up to date23:53
tewardamong the other things, also, yes.23:53
linaporrasI totally agree...23:53
toddyteward: yes that is true23:53
tewardexcept the amount of concerns I have is a little beyond what can be discussed on iRC23:53
madhensLet me chat with Rhys and Claire Nerman on my end, you all have a talk, and we can start resolving discrepancies23:54
tewardso if we can arrange a call between me and someone (you guys?) at Canonical to discuss in depth that'd be wonderful.23:54
tewardmadhens: ok.23:54
tewardi'll bring my list of discrepancies to our ML internally.23:54
linaporrasSo... we can discuss or elaborate some ideas in a gdoc before... and after bring it here for vote...23:54
tewardthen we can send you the full list.23:54
madhenstedward: send me an e-mail at monica.ayhens.madon@canonical.com and we'll get that talk in as soon as we can.23:54
linaporrascool! teward23:54
nhainesmadhens: That is a nice, fancy email address.  :)23:54
madhensMe and my fancy schmancy hyphenated name :)23:55
tewardmadhens: wil do23:55
nhainesteward: I'll look forward to participating, because I've benefitted nicely from the community funding pool (current outstanding request not... withstanding), and I've tried to urge others to request resources when they have great ideas.23:56
linaporrasok, so teward you will be in charge to sent the e-mail... and we all participated on the discussion, is that ok?23:56
tewardyep.23:56
tewardi still need to get some clarification on my Two Rejected REquests In The Past, but that's a different issue23:56
linaporrasCool, any other new business?23:56
teward(the remaining things that WOULD get community funding requests are being handled via Lubuntu because it's for Their Benefit.)23:57
teward(but that's not a CC concern)23:57
nhainesThat's all for me.23:58
josenothingh ere23:58
tewardnothing here.23:58
madhensThat's all I had.23:58
toddynope no new business here23:58
linaporrasok23:58
linaporrasso anyone wants to chair next meeting?23:58
teward*sips coffee* i'm probably due to, sl me.23:59
tewardso*23:59
linaporrasjajaja ok teward  so you will be the next chair23:59
