21:02 < johnc4510> ok, lets get started please 21:02 < johnc4510> who's here +1 21:02 < xHans> johnc4510: I'm here, but will have to step out for a bit at some point 21:02 < tyche> +1 21:02 < johnc4510> k 21:02 < todd3737> +1 21:03 < johnc4510> hey todd3737 21:03 < todd3737> evening 21:04 < todd3737> just us tonight? 21:04 < Siph0n> +1 21:04 < johnc4510> todd3737: i think you've been to a meeting before right?? 21:04 < todd3737> several 21:04 < johnc4510> k 21:04 < johnc4510> ok, announcements...i only have one 21:04 < johnc4510> . 21:04 < johnc4510> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Desktop will reach end of life on Tuesday, July 14, 2009. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Desktop. Server Edition will continue to receive maintenance updates through June 2011. The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is via Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community 21:05 < johnc4510> . 21:05 < johnc4510> I don't think anyone is still using it but... 21:05 < johnc4510> if so you need to upgrade by version 21:05 < johnc4510> as security updates will stop as of the 14th 21:05 < johnc4510> . 21:06 < johnc4510> i was hoping for more team members here tonight, but i guess this will have to do 21:06 < johnc4510> . 21:06 < tyche> Hmmm. That announcement looks familiar. Like I saw it this morning. 21:06 < tyche> Oh, that's right. I did. 21:06 < johnc4510> I'm considering stepping down as team leader. 21:07 < johnc4510> Because of my family responsibilities, I haven't been able to devote the needed/required amount of time to the team. I had hoped that this wouldn't be a permenent thing, but it now seems as if it will be. 21:07 < xHans> tyche: that's dejahuh? 21:07 < Siph0n> who would take over as team leader? 21:07 < johnc4510> most of you know what i have going on right now 21:07 < matthewmpp> The ABLEconf meeting just ended. 21:07 < xHans> johnc4510: may I suggest that you have multiple people on the leadership committee who can lead the mtgs? 21:07 < johnc4510> Siph0n: we'll get to that 21:07 -!- [R] [n=rbox@unaffiliated/rbox] has quit ["Leaving"] 21:07 < johnc4510> xHans: i'll consider that 21:07 < johnc4510> . 21:08 < xHans> not that I'm doing that right for ABLEconf, but y'all are waaaaay more organized than I am :) 21:08 < johnc4510> :) 21:08 < johnc4510> While I'm _not quiting the team_, I don't think I can fullfill my responsibilities as team leader right now. I have been in this position now since the team was founded in April of 2007, and it's time for me to let someone else take over. 21:08 < johnc4510> In addition to being team leader, I'm running the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, I'm an editor on the Fridge, I'm on the US loco board, and I'm trying to be involved with ABLEcon. I'm just spread too thin right now considering my work and family responsibilities. 21:09 < johnc4510> and i haven't been able to devote the needed time to any of those responsibilities 21:09 < _Apple_> how every one it's been about an year since I've been 21:09 < johnc4510> :( 21:09 < _Apple_> :) 21:09 * slofgren joins 21:09 < johnc4510> _Apple_: hey 21:09 < johnc4510> and welcome back 21:09 < _Apple_> how's it been johnc4510 21:10 < johnc4510> _Apple_: not bad...did you see my response to your ? on dual monitors? 21:10 < slofgren> johnc4510: any ideas on who would fill your shoes 21:10 < johnc4510> hey slofgren 21:10 < slofgren> hey johnc4510 21:10 < johnc4510> not really sure 21:10 < johnc4510> as i said, i'm not quiting the team 21:11 < slofgren> that is good...I think we all understand your situation and feel for you 21:11 < tyche> Definitely, we understand. 21:11 < johnc4510> and i would consider a dual roll type of leadership if the other person knew that they would have to shoulder the bulk of the load 21:11 < johnc4510> slofgren: tyche thx 21:11 < johnc4510> this is really tuff for me 21:12 < johnc4510> but the team deserves a full time leader too 21:12 < slofgren> johnc4510: maybe you could clearly outline your responibilites in an email so the person would know exactly what they are required to do 21:12 < johnc4510> yes, i will do that 21:12 < slofgren> maybe have more of a board of directors than a single leader 21:12 < slofgren> to share the love 21:12 < slofgren> ;) 21:12 < johnc4510> that's a possibility maybe 21:12 < johnc4510> lol 21:13 < slofgren> brb...moving sleeping kids to bed 21:13 < johnc4510> k 21:13 < _Apple_> johnc4510, no I didn't I was afk 21:13 < hobbet1> maybe do like a 1 leader and deligate whoever wants to do certain responsibilities 21:13 < johnc4510> i know this is somewhat of a surprise, but you all know how it's been going for me and i really feel that i'm not doing the team any good right now 21:14 < johnc4510> hobbet1: hey 21:14 < johnc4510> that's an idea too 21:14 < xHans> johnc4510: not a surprise, more amazement that you tried to keep going for so long 21:14 < hobbet1> then one person not overwhelmed 21:14 < johnc4510> xHans: yeah 21:14 < johnc4510> hobbet1: nods 21:14 < tyche> And impressed with all that you have accomplished 21:15 < xHans> bbiab 21:15 < johnc4510> tyche: thx, that means a lot...mostly i'm afraid if i stay as leader i'm bring the team down, but also worried that things won't continue 21:15 < johnc4510> k 21:15 < hobbet1> john you could still have leadership role, but others take some responsibility that is overwhelming you 21:15 < johnc4510> hobbet1: ok, i would consider that 21:16 * slofgren is back 21:16 < johnc4510> maybe i could still give direction to the team without having to carry out the tasks 21:16 < slofgren> agree 21:16 < hobbet1> agree 21:16 < tyche> You also have resources available to you that no one else has. 21:17 < slofgren> I think we would all be willing to take on a task or two 21:17 < johnc4510> but it would have to be with the understanding that i just don't have the time to complete task 21:17 < slofgren> agree 21:17 < johnc4510> tyche: ? 21:17 < johnc4510> i think those resources could be transferred if necessary 21:17 < johnc4510> :) 21:17 < tyche> As long as we have access to the tools we need, we can help do the job. 21:18 < johnc4510> but, i'm not totally against this idea 21:18 < tyche> Any of us would need direction. 21:18 < tyche> I'm glad you said that you're not leaving the team. 21:18 < johnc4510> well, everyone has access to the wiki, you have access to the mailing list 21:18 < johnc4510> no, i won't do that 21:18 < johnc4510> :) 21:18 < tyche> It's the contacts you have that we don't know. 21:18 < _Apple_> johnc4510, would you mind reposting what you said earlier when after the meeting? 21:19 < tyche> _Apple_: it'll come out in the newsletter on wednesday. 21:19 < johnc4510> _Apple_: sure...i was asking if you have nvidia-settings installed 21:19 < tyche> Oh, that. 21:19 < _Apple_> oh yes I do 21:19 < tyche> I thought nvidia-settings was now part of the driver, rather than separate. 21:19 < johnc4510> you need it to set up dual monitors with an nvidia card 21:20 < johnc4510> it may be 21:20 < johnc4510> _Apple_: we'll talk after the meeting 21:20 < johnc4510> :) 21:20 < _Apple_> sounds good ^^ 21:20 < johnc4510> k 21:20 -!- _Apple_ [n=apple@64.130.243.10] has quit [Remote closed the connection] 21:20 < slofgren> johnc4510: if you can still put together and email outlining your duties it would help clarify what is being asked of us 21:21 < johnc4510> ok, so...I'm willing to try this if we can find bodies to do the work 21:21 < johnc4510> slofgren: k 21:21 < slofgren> I am open to helping but I am growing more limited in time but not so much I don't want to help 21:21 < johnc4510> k 21:21 < hobbet1> does spleling hav toooo beee a cunsidiration???
