IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @Rick_Timmis so plans for the council election?14:33
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> Hey Rik. I've pushed everyones renewal out to jan 2025. So we have a little time to get organised. I'd like to finish the new website off, it's so close, and then run an announcement, and invite some of our wider membership to apply. Question: Should we do an outreach to request new members join, as I don't believe you can apply for council without being an existing member.14:35
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> I guess we could if we think there are people with sustained contributions who are not members already14:36
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Did you have people in mind?14:37
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> Yes, I was think Mike M from Kubuntu Focus, and also inviting Dillip from Matrix, he's been quite active with Artwork etc.. just before 24.0414:38
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> I'm fine with that14:39
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> Is there anyone that you have spotted on kubuntu-devel Rik ?14:39
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Maybe a couple of people who regularly test (re @Rick_Timmis: Is there anyone that you have spotted on kubuntu-devel Rik ?)14:41
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Oh, one is a member14:43
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> The other is not, but did not want to apply when I asked before14:43
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> The one who is a member stood for the community council in the just completed election  for that, but missed out.14:45
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> So maybe KC might appeal to them. I shall ask14:45
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Also maybe Aaron Rainbolt14:46
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> OK, Next Steps:14:46
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> 1 . I will get the new site finished and published.14:46
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> 2. I'll make a post about Kubuntu Membership and Council elections inviting applications.14:46
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> 3. We can socialise that a bit up to Christmas14:46
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> 4. Hold a Vote at the beginning of January14:46
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Sounds good14:46
IrcsomeBot<sgmoore> Would it be awkward for me to run as I was an employee? My platform would be to get more funding/sponsors so we can fund development.15:58
IrcsomeBot<Rick_Timmis> Nope I think you should run. (re @sgmoore: Would it be awkward for me to run as I was an employee? My platform would be to get more funding/sponsors so we can fund development.)15:59
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> Not at all. I sort of assumed you would run! (re @sgmoore: Would it be awkward for me to run as I was an employee? My platform would be to get more funding/sponsors so we can fund development.)15:59
IrcsomeBot<sgmoore> Great!15:59
