| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> we had people expiring from the council on weirdly different dates, so I have equalized them so we can have a sensible election | 09:05 |
|---|---|---|
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> Thanks Rik, I was going to look at that last evening, but Family matters stole away the time. | 09:06 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> I can have a look later this afternoon, but was also wanting to get the new website sorted | 09:06 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> Equalisation sounds very sensible Rik, when might we need to run the election ? Any value in alignment post 24.10 release ?? | 09:07 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> It was equalised out at 26th Sept for expiration, so if we leave that as is then the election needs results by then | 09:10 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Oracular release is 10th Oct | 09:11 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> Well, we seem so short on resources, with so much to do. I feel that it would make more sense to hold back, perhaps just issue and 3 month extension on all KC members ?? thoughts ? | 09:12 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Yeah, it would not be good for people to lose permissions just before or just after the release | 09:13 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> For example I need KC membership to be able to request ISO respins | 09:14 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> Yeah that would be bad, as I can't. | 10:21 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> So can we update those without an election, i.e Valorie. Then let's run one at the beginning November. Give us time to announce on website, discourse and ML. | 10:38 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Sounds reasonable. | 10:43 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> OK I'll look over KC members this afternoon and sort it out | 10:44 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> Councillors, I have extended KC Membership for 'Darin Miller' 'Myriam Schweinguber' 'Rik Mills' and 'Valorie Zimmerman', until 30th November 2024. This will enable us to focus on 24.10 Release and prepare an election in late October / early November giving us time to announce and out reach for candidates. | 15:00 |

| valorie | sounds good! | 18:03 |
| valorie | we really do need to put out a call for new funding ideas | 18:04 |
| valorie | Scarlett is out of $$ and I would like us to at least pay her at the previous rate | 18:05 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> I've been looking at Open Collective, and intend to set that up once I've got the Website up, which frankly is taking too long. | 18:05 |
| valorie | cool | 18:06 |
| valorie | how about opening a cafepress or equiv. store? | 18:07 |
| valorie | I personally would like to purchase a T and/or hoody with our new branding | 18:08 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> Forwarded from IrcsomeBot: <gljakal> hey! not sure where to post this, but on the donate page (https://kubuntu.org/donate/), the "contribute to Kubuntu" link points to http://kubwp.kubuntu.co.uk/contribute-to-kubuntu/ - however it appears that the kubuntu.co.uk domain is for sale / unregistered | 19:05 |
| IrcsomeBot | <RikMills> from #kubuntu | 19:05 |
| mparillo | Doesn't the main link from the homepage go to https://kubuntu.org/contribute-to-kubuntu/ ? It also contains the for sale links. I can hack at the page if you like. | 19:35 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> Ooof. Yeah the donate page also says the money goes for the shirts and travel. It really should say it pays for development. | 19:53 |
| mparillo | Were there not two sources of donations? One independently for Kubuntu, and one administered through Canonical. I recall JR getting agitated about the latter. | 20:02 |
| mparillo | But I would like a KC member to either say better to hack away at the pages, carefully edit, or just wait for Rick's new site. | 20:04 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> Didn't know about the former at all. Probably should be looked into. | 20:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> Err latter | 20:33 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> So here is what I have so far re the new site. https://kubuntu-team.github.io/kubuntu.org/ | 20:59 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> All the code is here | 21:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> https://github.com/kubuntu-team/kubuntu.org | 21:00 |
| IrcsomeBot | <Rick_Timmis> I think we're going to need multiple options for folks to donate | 21:01 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> For sure | 21:15 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> VLC needs to changed to haruna | 21:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> To be* | 21:17 |
| IrcsomeBot | <sgmoore> Looks good though :) | 21:17 |
| mparillo | Yours looks great. How quickly can we sunset the old site and point to yours? | 21:50 |
