bittinthink Wild_Man need to add you as he started the meeting12:07
diddledanyou'll have to do the honours I think12:07
Wild_ManHello and welcome to the Membership Board meeting!12:08
Wild_ManThe wiki page for the Review Board is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards. We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting.12:08
Wild_ManIf 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. The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO).12:08
Wild_ManEach 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.12:08
Wild_ManDuring 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.12:08
Wild_Manbittin, now post your information please12:09

RikMillsneither12:48
bittinah alright, could someone ping me via email or such when i can request my certificate and i have an email and so on?12:48
RikMillsyou should get an email from launchpad when you are added to the members team12:49
bittinWild_Man: added me there now, but said some things might take some days12:50
RikMillsthe email is a things that gets run every few days by canonical admin, so just wait until the address starts to work12:50
RikMillsyou don't get 'told' IIRC12:50
bittinah alright will do thanks12:50
RikMillsFYI: same applies if you change your primary LP email. the email forwarding updates every couple of days if you do12:51

bittincool will look at those when i got my adress12:53
bittinthx12:55
Laneydear CC, I'm sure you're going to talk about IRC later when I'm in bed. Just a request - can someone please take an action to write everything up on discourse, so we can ask any questions? thanks!20:36
toddyLaney: I have noted it20:45
madhensHello all! And @laney I'll post a summary tonight22:59
toddyHello madhens :)23:00
madhensHello!23:00
nhaines_o/23:00
Eickmeyero/23:01
tewardthe only thing on the radar that's pressing right now, other than Forum Council stuff, is the IRCC's proposal23:03
tewardand it seems like we've got that handled on the ML right now23:04
nhainesThe IRCC proposal wasn't abrupt, since trouble's been brewing with Freenode for 2 months now.  But it *was* received just a couple of hours ago.23:05
tewardnhaines: true, but i'm more concerned about how much work will it actually take to migrate everything over.23:05
tewardand regarding the email you just sent RE: namesapces, all the namespaces are, I believe, owned by IRCC23:06
tewardlubuntu, kubuntu, etc.23:06
madhensSo will you all continue the chat on the mailing list and then update the community via Discourse, and let me know if there's any infrastructure/IS changes we need to push?23:06
Eickmeyerteward: That's why we delegated. I believe this is a job for the existing IRCC since the election is not done.23:06
tewardEickmeyer: IRCC has made a resolution currently that we need to make a decision on moving.23:06
tewardand pushed it to CC to decide23:06
EickmeyerWith your provisional +1 that's +4, which is quorum.23:07
nhainesteward: yes, they're owned by the IRCC and the IRCC said they wanted the input of the stakeholders to be considered.23:07
tewardnhaines: Eickmeyer: then I suggest we hold until IRCC has checked with the other stakeholders as that's their job23:07
tewardand we push any decision off until we hear back from IRCC23:07
tewardThe current vote is quorate to support the resolution, but as we're going to be waiting for 'stakeholders' that support of the resolution is a soft quorum23:07
tewardand not a hard confirm23:07
tewardto qyote you Eickmeyer ;)23:07
joseI would suggest approving this as soon as we can so that we can move forward when we are all ready.23:08
Eickmeyer^ Agreed. There is a sense of urgency from the community23:08
EickmeyerAnd it's our duty to answer.23:08
toddyjose: +123:08
nhainesI do think we should expedite getting feedback, however.  There's a logistical issue with actually migrating everything over, but we should be ready to do once that can be achieved.23:09
tewardEickmeyer: jose: then we should state we support the movement, provided that current IRCC polls the other stakeholders for the namespaces as to their opinions23:09
tewardi'm +1 on choosing Libera Chat as the new home of the IRC communications and such23:09
Eickmeyernhaines: The logistical issue is for the IRCC to figure out, and madhens with IS to help.23:09
EickmeyerChances are they already have a plan in mind.23:09
nhainesI support the IRC Council resolution in full, including the proposal to move from Freenode to Libera Chat.23:10
EickmeyerThat's +5 then.23:10
nhainesI think it's prudent to quickpoll channel stakeholders to see if there are any objections or other issues we haven't anticipated.23:10
tewardI'll reply to the email then23:10
nhainesBut if they're comfortable with Community Council approval, then we should do what we can to make this transition.  And it's going to be a massive documentation issue on top of the technical issues.23:11
tewardnhaines: I say the IRCC should be quickpolling stakeholders23:11
nhaines(they == IRCC)23:11
tewardas they have the larger insight to who's who23:11
nhainesteward: I think that's wise.23:11
nhainesI should also mention I was up late reading resignation letters and chat logs and feel I have a comprehensive understading of the situation.23:12
EickmeyerI didn't need to read those letters. The sheer number of them shows the sheer magnitude of this issue.23:12
tewardi'm crafting the email to reply to rww's message and IRCC23:12
tewardwant to make sure we desginate the IRCC tasks23:13
teward(1) poll all stakeholders to determine who would NOT like to move, or who would object, if any.23:13
nhainesAnd since I've been managing diverse communities for 23 years now (how did that happen?) I can say that from Freenode Limited's attitude and responses, I fully support the former Freenode staff and the IRCC's conclusion.23:13
teward(2) IRCC must handle the logistics of migration23:13
teward(3) IRCC must update (and provide if CC requests) documentation of a plan for migration as well as relevant stakeholders for which namespaces.  (Lubuntu's an easy one, that's Lubuntu Council / Lubuntu Team Lead)23:14
tewardanything wrong in these, or anything I'm missing?23:14
EickmeyerMember cloaks.23:14
tewardEickmeyer: I had assumed that would be part of #223:15
toddyMember cloaks belongs to the migration, I think23:15
EickmeyerFair.23:15
tewardi.e. a logistical part of the migration23:15
EickmeyerI have nothing further.23:15
nhainesI concur with teward.23:15
toddy+123:16
tewardanything else for me to add to the list of tasks IRCC must handle?23:16
tewardok guess not so moving on23:17
tewardForum Council23:17
tewardany objections to the requested renewals?23:17
EickmeyerNo objections.23:17
tewardif not I'm going to just handle the requested renews, if there is an objection raise it now or before Friday23:17
nhainesNo objections from me.23:17
tewardnone from me, but need a 4th of 'no objections' to consider it a quorate decision23:17
josezero objections23:17
teward+4 in favor of the renewal, so I'll handle that after the meeting.23:18
toddyno objections from my side23:18
tewardI'm going to nip out because I have to go meet my dad who's dropping stuff off, back in a bit.23:18
madhensLet the IRCC know if they need any assistance on the logistics of the migration, to contact myself or Rhys. We're chatting with other distros and needless to say, we're not the only ones doing this. Someone like Fedora might have good pointers on tools.23:18
tewardi don't think there's anything else of relevance?23:18
tewardmadhens: yep, will do.23:18
madhensGreat23:18
nhainesmadhens: this is welcome collaboration.  :)23:19
EickmeyerI do know that Fedora is expediting their move to Matrix.23:19
madhens@nhaines It's only just started but it is really helpful, especially on days like today.23:20
madhensSo once the move is formalized, how can we help with getting word out to the community?23:21
nhainesWell, that's the difficult part, really.  We're going to need to update a ton of documentation, including the wiki and I *think* the Ubuntu desktop guide.  But I don't read that since I already know everything, so I'm not sure.  :)23:22
EickmeyerStudio has a chatroom link in the menu that, for 20.04, was to the freenode web IRC, so that'll have to get SRU'd, and I'll take care of that once everything is done.23:23
nhainesWe'll probably want to make sure we keep a transitional presence on freenode for a while.  Maybe channel topics advising of the move?23:24
madhensSo humble. :) And pointers to our new IRC home would be a good idea.23:24
EickmeyerWith a bot periodically mentiong the move?23:24
nhainesEickmeyer: also a good idea.23:25
madhensEickmeyer: hadn't even thought about that. I'll definitely be sure to highlight that to Laney23:25
madhensAnd we can use the Ubuntu Twitter account to signal boost any announcements.23:25
* Eickmeyer hears teward typing away from afar23:26
nhainesOkay, I think we're all moving in the right direction.  Let's keep brainstorming this as we wait for the IRCC to collect feedback.23:26
nhainesMaybe an RFC on the Ubuntu Community Hub would be useful.23:27
madhensRFC?23:27
nhainesI guess I'll get a link to that on /r/Ubuntu if the community hasn't beat me to it.23:27
nhainesmadhens: request for comments23:27
madhensGotcha :)23:28
nhainesBut not the formal IETF kind.  Just the generic kind.  :)23:28
EickmeyerWe might also mention that the RFC isn't a vote, just a place to voice opinion.23:28
EickmeyerWe're not taking a mass vote from the community on this issue.23:28
nhainesYeah.  Probably don't call it an RFC.23:29
tewardOK i'm good to go23:29
tewardyeah i had to go outside and grab a stack of paper from my dad - lots of letters xD23:30
tewardanyways, we will need a temporary transitional presence on Freenode, definitely.23:30
tewardbut i'm assumign that'll all be discussed as part of Logisitcs.23:30
tewardany additional actions for IRCC I have to add here, other than update documentation, etc.?23:30
tewardwhich will be a multi-team effort overall?23:30
nhainesI think we're off to a strong start.23:31
EickmeyerAgreed. This does need to move reasonably and prudently.23:32
madhensThis has been very reassuring. Thank you all.23:32
toddythank you, madhens :)23:33
tewardOK so I'll send the email off, including madhens as a PoC for Canonical on logistics, and also a note that we, the CC, are here to assist as well if needed.  Because, technically, we are if they get overwhelmed or overloaded and need additional hands to get everything moved/migrated/setup.  Objections to that?23:33
tewardit's not an edict but a statement to IRCC we are here to help if they need it23:33
teward(because we are xD)23:33
EickmeyerNo objections.23:33
nhainesThat sounds great!23:34
tewardperfect I'll send this off shortly, then do the Forum Council stuff.  Nothing more from me, anything else for anyone else?23:34
madhensThumbs up here!23:34
EickmeyerYeah, I think we're good.23:34
joseall good23:34
madhensI'll try to have a summary/minutes posted tonight on Discourse.23:34
tewardperfect.  Informal meeting, done.  I'mma go do the FC stuff and send the email now.23:34
EickmeyerYep, I'm heading back to work.23:35
nhainesYup, moar work23:35
madhensWatching Jeopardy for me! And, you know, typing stuff up. Thanks everyone!23:35
