rbasakAnyone else here?15:00
sil2100o/15:00
rbasakI don't think we have any applicants today?15:01
* sil2100 looks at the agenda15:01
rbasakBut I think it's worth having a meeting anyway, and without quorum if there aren't enough members here, to catch up on where we are with various admin topics.15:01
rbasakOpinions?15:02
ddstreetyes we need to hold the mtg15:02

rbasak#topic Review of previous action items15:03
rbasakLooks like all outstanding meeting actions are done, apart from the "long-term action items"?15:03
rbasak#info All short term outstanding actions have been done15:03
rbasak#topic Outstanding mailing list requests to assign15:03
rbasak#subtopic proposal for adjustment to quorum rule (ddstreet)15:04
rbasakWhat's outstanding with this item?15:04
ddstreetthe vote that you requested for it15:04
ddstreethttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2021-November/001788.html15:04
rbasak"Quorum votes are required, however if quorum is not15:05
rbasak> reached at first meeting, at the next meeting majority present votes15:05
rbasak> are required"15:05
ddstreetwe currently have votes from you, rafaeldtinoco and myself, all +115:05
ddstreetwe need one more +115:05
rbasakThat's rule change proposal that needs ratifying by absolute majority vote, AIUI.15:05
rbasaksil2100 is the only person present who hasn't voted15:05
ddstreetsil2100 you still around?15:07
sil2100Yes o/ hm15:07
sil2100Sorry, got distracted15:08
sil2100Ah, so just ratifying the vote that we got from condorcet?15:08
rbasakYep15:08
sil2100+1 in that case!15:08
rbasakThanks!15:08
rbasakThen the motion to change the rule passes15:08
rbasakddstreet: do you consider the change already documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/KnowledgeBase then, or are any changes needed?15:10
ddstreetI believe it's documented in the section here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/KnowledgeBase#Voting_and_Quorum15:11
ddstreetso i don't think any more doc change is needed15:11
rbasakOK thanks!15:11
rbasakSo is this matter closed and complete then?15:11
ddstreeti believe so15:11
rbasakThanks!15:11
rbasak#topic change to DMB meeting day/time (ddstreet)15:11
rbasakWhat's outstanding with this item?15:11
ddstreetmy proposal from last week is https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2021-November/001816.html15:12
ddstreetrequest for verification from all board members that this time works for them: Mondays at 16:00 UTC.15:12
rbasakI have no objection to Mondays at 16 UTC. It does collide with my team's daily standup, but that already happens often.15:12
ddstreetnot a vote to actually change the schedule, just agree on a time15:12
rbasakIt's difficult for me to chair if that happens, but I think it's worth the challenge of doing both at once in order to make the time work.15:13
ddstreetlet's continue on the ML then, especially since nobody else is here15:13
rbasakOK15:13
rbasakAre there any other outstanding ML threads?15:13
ddstreetnot that i know of15:14
sil2100As mentioned, I can adjust re: the timing, so I leave it up to other members15:14
rbasakTo make an actual change I think we need an absolute majority vote again. But I think we're not at that stage yet - just trying to confirm the acceptability of that time slot to all members?15:15
ddstreetright, not ready for actual change yet15:15
rbasakOK15:15
rbasak#info We're not ready for an actual change yet; we'd first like all DMB members to first indicate acceptability of a Monday 16 UTC meeting.15:16
rbasak#info Discussion will continue on the mailing list15:16
rbasakI'm going to rearrange the agenda a bit here.15:17
rbasak#topic Making it easier for applicants to request special meeting times and/or applying by email (ddstreet)15:17
rbasakOver to you?15:17
ddstreetthis spun off from ML discussion about rescheduling15:18
ddstreeti have no proposal yet, but wanted to add an item to the agenda so we could raise any concerns15:18
ddstreetas we have few members here, we probably will need to just continue discussion on the ML15:19
rbasakhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperMembershipBoard/ApplicationProcess has this to say:15:19
rbasak"For part of the world (e.g APAC) where the DMB meeting times can be challenging to attend due to the timezone gap, note that the DMB usually tries to be accomodating. While the preference always remains the irc interview meeting, the DMB team can exceptionally do the interview by email if the applicant cannot make the regular meeting times. Please reach out to the DMB team to let them know about15:19
rbasakit if you fall into this category."15:19
rbasakI'm not really sure what else to say about this, unless there's a more specific proposal on the table.15:20
ddstreetright so the change would be to make ML applications first-class citizens; no pre-requirement of living in APAC or otherwise being unable to attend a scheduled mtg15:20
rbasakOh, I see.15:20
ddstreetthis is the opportunity for initial discussion and/or to raise concerns15:20
ddstreetbefore continuing discussion on the ML15:20
rbasakSo then my personal response is -1 (reasons already raised on the ML), but we can continue discussion if anyone wants to discuss my concerns and I'm happy for further discussion and/or a vote for a specific change.15:21
rbasakI'm not sure I have anything else to add here, unless someone else has something to raise?15:21
ddstreetpersonally i'd prefer discussing on the ML so other absent board members can participate15:21
rbasakThe problem is that people are absent here and discussion on the ML also seems to have died.15:22
rbasakBut anyway, nothing further to discuss here then?15:22
ddstreetpeople are absent here yes, at least partially due to needing to reschedule this meeting15:22
rbasakWhat do you want to do with this agenda item after this meeting?15:23
ddstreetthe ML is all we have left until the mtg is rescheduled it seems15:23
ddstreetgive me an action item for it15:23
rbasak#action ddstreet to handle "Making it easier for applicants to request special meeting times and/or applying by email"15:23
