2 [00:01] <MootBot> Meeting started at 18:01. The chair is bodhi_zazen.
3 [00:01] <MootBot> Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE]
4 [00:01] <bodhi_zazen> who is here for the meeting ?

15 [00:03] <bodhi_zazen> [TOPIC] Meeting Times
16 [00:03] <MootBot> New Topic: Meeting Times
17 [00:04] <Silver_Fox_> I think the time has been discussed in the mailing list for the last week and want to know what we are going to do.
18 [00:04] <Silver_Fox_> A few ideas were suggested, lets vote on them
19 [00:04] <bodhi_zazen> LOL
20 [00:04] <ibuclaw> Silver_Fox_, we did have the idea of a Eurasian Meeting not so long ago.
21 [00:05] <ibuclaw> I think discussion on that stagnated
22 [00:05] <Silver_Fox_> That was rejected as it had lack of interest. Now the team has grown some more and it has been raised again by new people.
23 [00:05] <bodhi_zazen> I like the idea of alternate meeting times and I think we should try to accommodate them (alternate times)
24 [00:06] <Silver_Fox_> Can we not give it a trial?
25 [00:06] <bodhi_zazen> The problem has been - lack of interest
26 [00:06] <bodhi_zazen> I would like to see all the people interested in such an alternate time:
27 [00:06] <Joeb454> I'd be happy to attend the later meeting and email logs to somebody to chair a more eurasian meeting time
28 [00:06] <bodhi_zazen> meet and set a time
29 [00:07] <bodhi_zazen> I will make my best effort to attend
30 [00:07] <bodhi_zazen> I suggest we specify a single contact person to coordinate such meetings with me
31 [00:07] <bodhi_zazen> so that we may review issues before and after such meetings
32 [00:07] <swoody> I would support an alternate time, so as many members can be a part of the processes that go on with the team
33 [00:07] <starcraftman> Salutations, I just arrived :)
34 [00:08] <swoody> as many members as possible**
35 [00:08] <bodhi_zazen> who here is interested in setting an alternate time for meetings ?
36 [00:09] <Silver_Fox_> o/
37 [00:09] <bodhi_zazen> And I really do not see asking those in the Americas to meet at off times
38 [00:09] <Silver_Fox_> +1 bodhi_zazen
39 [00:09] <lukjad007> Hi
40 [00:09] <bodhi_zazen> Silver_Fox_ and Joeb454 want to start coordinating meetings then ?
41 [00:10] <Silver_Fox_> I am happy to do so bodhi_zazen
42 [00:10] <Joeb454> bodhi_zazen: can do - the later meetings suit me better, so I can pass logs to Silver_Fox_ :)
43 [00:10] <bodhi_zazen> I am fine with that and I do not think it involves the whole team until such a time as you two have enough interest to have such meetings
44 [00:10] <swoody> o/
45 [00:11] <bodhi_zazen> There is always an interest expressed, would be nice to see it come to fruition =)
46 [00:11] <ibuclaw> before you know it, we may branch off into two separate main groups ;)
47 [00:11] <ibuclaw> -beginners-eu and -beginners-us
48 [00:11] <ibuclaw> :P
49 [00:11] <Joeb454> lol
50 [00:11] <Silver_Fox_> This way it gets a chance.
51 [00:11] <bodhi_zazen> [AGREED]Start alternate meetings, come to the team once it is starting to happen and again once it is happening =)
52 [00:11] <MootBot> AGREED received: Start alternate meetings, come to the team once it is starting to happen and again once it is happening =)
53 [00:11] <swoody> Now how would the voting work with two separate meeting times? Would we just tally all votes from both meetings before making a final decision?
54 [00:12] <ibuclaw> well ... that would depend on which meeting goes first
55 [00:12] <Silver_Fox_> We would vote on the same items.
56 [00:12] <bodhi_zazen> swoody: you are putting the cart b4 the horse =)
57 [00:12] <swoody> bodhi_zazen, I'm just curious is all :)
58 [00:12] <swoody> didn't know if that had already been worked out
59 [00:12] <bodhi_zazen> But yes, we would ideally have a coordination of votes
60 [00:13] <swoody> ok :)
61 [00:13] <bodhi_zazen> don't get me wrong, I think alternate meeting times would be awesome, we can share an agenda
62 [00:14] <starcraftman> sounds all good to me, more participation is always better.
63 [00:14] <bodhi_zazen> it is just that up to now, although there has been interest, when the rubber hits the pavement alternate meeting times have not happened
64 [00:14] <bodhi_zazen> Once they start to happen it *should* be trivial to coordinate
65 [00:14] <bodhi_zazen> any other comments on alternate meeting times ?
66 [00:15] <bodhi_zazen> starcraftman: you ready ?
67 [00:15] <Silver_Fox_> O/
68 [00:15] <bodhi_zazen> go Silver_Fox_
69 [00:15] <starcraftman> bodhi_zazen: I am, just been sitting quietly, I hope people glanced over my stuff in advance, it's mostly self-explanitory.
70 [00:15] <bodhi_zazen> as long as your comments are [ON TOPOC] ; no need for o/
71 [00:15] <Silver_Fox_> Would this infact mean we are going down to once a fortnight meetings per whole team or not?
72 [00:16] <Silver_Fox_> Sorry, once a month.
73 [00:16] <bodhi_zazen> I think once a month meetings are appropriate, in the long run once for the Americas and once for Euroasia
74 [00:17] <bodhi_zazen> we can meet more often if needed
75 [00:17] <bodhi_zazen> [TOPIC] New Join Us Page
76 [00:17] <MootBot> New Topic: New Join Us Page
77 [00:17] <bodhi_zazen> starcraftman: has drafted a few pages
78 [00:17] <bodhi_zazen> they look nice
79 [00:17] <starcraftman> Yup, took me some time, its all oriented to new members.
80 [00:17] <bodhi_zazen> are people ready to change or do we need time for review / comments ?
81 [00:18] <starcraftman> bodhi_zazen: only thing I'

83 [00:18] <MootBot> LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man/Sandbox
84 [00:18] <starcraftman> bodhi_zazen: nvm that comment, darn enter key.
85 [00:19] <starcraftman> Anyway, thats the new join us page I wrote up. I think its an improvement to the old one that was a bit skimpy. It details all the basic steps new members usually need to go through, and is written from common questions I've gotten.
86 [00:20] <bodhi_zazen> comments ?
87 [00:20] <starcraftman> I basically just wanted feedback on anything should be improved, if everyone agrees they want to replace old one with it, then I will.
88 [00:20] <Rocket2DMn> That is a wealth of information man, but what a wall of text
89 [00:20] * bodhi_zazen assumes most poeple are reading it for the first time =)
90 [00:20] <starcraftman> Also, wanted to know if there are any inactive mentors from masters list I should remove. Like say aj?
91 [00:20] * ibuclaw is missing from the Masters column
92 [00:20] <lukjad007> starcraftman I skimmed it, and it looked good :)
93 [00:21] <Rocket2DMn> I think that can be slimmed down a fair amount, and some of the info can be spread to a couple of different pages on the our wiki area
94 [00:21] <bodhi_zazen> aj should be removed until he is more active =)
95 [00:21] <ibuclaw> starcraftman, replace him with me ;)
96 [00:21] <bodhi_zazen> Rocket2DMn: are you interested in helping with that ?
97 [00:21] <starcraftman> Rocket2DMn: I guess I can agree, your wall of text is mostly directed at tell us about ya section eh?
98 [00:22] <Rocket2DMn> lol
99 [00:22] <Rocket2DMn> id be happy to help with it, though it may have to wait a couple of weeks
100 [00:22] <swoody> I'm +1 on the new page
101 [00:22] <bodhi_zazen> anybody else interested in helping with that page ?
102 [00:23] <swoody> it could be slimmed down a bit, but I think newcomers may find it nice to find all the pertinent info in one spot, too
103 [00:23] <ibuclaw> considering this was the old page : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/YNU
104 [00:23] <Rocket2DMn> I'm primarily concerned that all that information could be a bit overwhelming for new members
105 [00:23] <ibuclaw> +1 on new page
106 [00:23] <Rocket2DMn> that's why I said some of it can be spread around too
107 [00:23] <bodhi_zazen> [IDEA] Put new page in place, to be revised by interested parties over next month ?
108 [00:23] <MootBot> IDEA received: Put new page in place, to be revised by interested parties over next month ?
109 [00:24] <starcraftman> Rocket2DMn:I'll look into moving some of the wiki creation information to its own page, I get what your saying and I think I know how to improve.
110 [00:24] <Rocket2DMn> Perhaps like a summary page similar to what we have now with some of this new stuff added in, then a detailed page for reference
111 [00:24] <Rocket2DMn> That reference page can be as useful for us as new members. It's good for new members to come and ask us quesions in here too, it generates good conversation
112 [00:25] <Rocket2DMn> and we can use it to help new users get integrated
113 [00:25] <Rocket2DMn> anyway, just my 2 cents, sounds like others like it
114 [00:25] <bodhi_zazen> [IDEA]Work on draft for next month ?
115 [00:25] <MootBot> IDEA received: Work on draft for next month ?
116 [00:25] <lukjad007> I like it, for one thing, it's comprehensive
117 [00:26] <swoody> +1 lukjad007
118 [00:26] <bodhi_zazen> if we go this second route, who is willing to work on it over the next month ?
119 [00:26] <Rocket2DMn> o/
120 [00:26] <swoody> it does cover almost everything a newcomer could ask, so I'm sure it'll come in very handy
121 [00:26] <lukjad007> I would be willing to help look it over :)
122 [00:26] <bodhi_zazen> vote ?
123 [00:26] <starcraftman> bodhi_zazen: I am, I think I get what Rocket2DMn is saying, I'll try and fix it up a bit. I got plenty of time, my classes still pretty lax.
124 [00:27] <swoody> I'm not much of a writer, but would be willing to lend my advice and opinions
125 [00:27] <drs305> I have no time this month but can help out next if it still needs work.
126 [00:27] <bodhi_zazen> [VOTE]Review document for next month ?

153 [00:28] <Rocket2DMn> cool, good work starcraftman , i can see you put a lot of work into it
154 [00:29] <swoody> yes, great work there starcraftman :)
155 [00:29] <bodhi_zazen> Home page template is a great idea.
156 [00:29] <starcraftman> Rocket2DMn: I try, once it's all in your head, just kinda flows out. :)

161 [00:29] <bodhi_zazen> I would suggest:
162 [00:29] <starcraftman> There it is, I built it off mine, suggestions welcome.
163 [00:30] <bodhi_zazen> 1. we include one or two additional examples for table lay out
164 [00:30] <bodhi_zazen> 2. Put it in /Beginners/WikiTemplates
165 [00:30] <bodhi_zazen> or some such
166 [00:30] <starcraftman> 2. That sounds good, I wasn't actually sure what to name it tbh.
167 [00:31] <bodhi_zazen> Suggestions for name ?
168 [00:31] <starcraftman> long as its in the create new page template list for new people.
169 [00:31] <swoody> +1 starcraftman
170 [00:31] <Rocket2DMn> I like that starcraftman , my only suggestion would be to cut out some of the text at the top, templates don't need full explanations of how to do everything
171 [00:32] <swoody> I don't think the name will have that drastic of an effect on it, as much as just having it available to use for newcomers
172 [00:32] <starcraftman> 1. Is fine also, I was actually looking at more than one template, Silver_Fox_'s is nice and different enough, some might prefer it.
173 [00:32] <starcraftman> [LINK]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Silver_Fox
174 [00:32] <MootBot> LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Silver_Fox
175 [00:33] <Silver_Fox_> Ah, beat me to it.
176 [00:33] <Rocket2DMn> +1 starcraftman , i was just thinking about that, we can have a couple of different template options. Obviously they would be similar, but since people come with different experiences, they can find templates that match them best
177 [00:33] <starcraftman> Silver_Fox_: Too slow :)
178 [00:33] <Silver_Fox_> sorry starcraftman, I was discussing matters of great importance with a fellow team member
179 [00:34] <bodhi_zazen> OK, how about we put the template in place and starcraftman or Silver_Fox_ (or anyone else) can add to it ?
180 [00:34] <starcraftman> Rocket2DMn: agreed, I'm only one person, I just made one for example this time. I guess I could template up anyones who volunteered theirs or they could themselves if available to do it.

206 [00:35] <Rocket2DMn> I actually don't think the template necessarily needs to be inside our wiki area structure, it is a template available to anybody
207 [00:35] <bodhi_zazen> we only need one page
208 [00:35] <bodhi_zazen> with a few examples =)
209 [00:35] <swoody> We can always edit it in the future, as well. Add more tables/menus for people to be able to implement

217 [00:36] <MootBot> LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/starcraft.man/Sandbox/Secret
218 [00:38] <bodhi_zazen> I agree we need to revitalize the membership process
219 [00:38] <bodhi_zazen> I like the idea of having a few people "watching over" the process
220 [00:38] <starcraftman> Alright, last topic, I outlined proposal fairly clearly I think. MOTU do something similar, I also included nhandler's email for reference. I think it's half decent, and people can always just still jump on IRC and do things way we do now.
221 [00:39] <bodhi_zazen> we used to have a dedicated Education Team to do this, but the education FG kind of grew into the UCLP
222 [00:39] <bodhi_zazen> perhaps revamp a "Mentoring" team / FG ?
223 [00:40] <st33med> Nobody got that active in it
224 [00:40] <starcraftman> Shouldn't be too high maintenance once agreed on, already got swoody on board. When ml gets moved to new more public one we can use it for people to send in contact info, and quiz (if thats agreed on).
225 [00:41] <bodhi_zazen> I like the quiz done "LIVE" on IRC
226 [00:41] <drs305> +1
227 [00:41] <Silver_Fox_> How would it work with regards to the masters?
228 [00:41] <bodhi_zazen> you get a better feel for people when they squirm
229 [00:41] <Rocket2DMn> +1 live quiz
230 [00:41] <bodhi_zazen> if they submit written responses
231 [00:41] <bodhi_zazen> 1. It takes more time
232 [00:41] <ibuclaw> 2. they can google it
233 [00:41] <bodhi_zazen> 2. They can google and make themselves look good
234 [00:42] <starcraftman> bodhi_zazen: can do, its fairly short I suppose. Do people like the sample questions, I alternated between ones testing knowledge and ones checking interest.
235 [00:42] <bodhi_zazen> I will look at your questions starcraftman
236 [00:42] <ibuclaw> bodhi_zazen, it's like telephone interviews over *just* posting your CV :)
237 [00:43] <st33med> LIVE from #ubuntu-beginners, its bodhi_zazen and the contestant, <insert contestant here>
238 [00:43] <bodhi_zazen> How about if you revamp a "masters" FG or some such ?
239 [00:43] <starcraftman> st33med: lol
240 [00:43] <bodhi_zazen> people interested in assisting new members get up to speed ?
241 [00:44] <Silver_Fox_> As always I am willing.
242 [00:44] <starcraftman> bodhi_zazen: so, have all masters on master page and hand ful of them responsible for management and oversight?
243 [00:44] <bodhi_zazen> should be low maintenance, but it would help if people watch it =)
244 [00:44] <bodhi_zazen> +1 starcraftman
245 [00:44] <Silver_Fox_> bodhi_zazen ^
246 [00:45] <bodhi_zazen> We can elect "management" next month ?
247 [00:45] <starcraftman> bodhi_zazen: righto, shouldn't be too hard. Would ya want a separate masters fg mail list in place? Or simply use same one we moving to with nhandler?
248 [00:45] <bodhi_zazen> Which should get us to ...
249 [00:45] * bodhi_zazen is a strong believer in the unified theory of mailing lists
250 [00:46] <bodhi_zazen> we only need additional ML if the one we have gets too active
251 [00:46] <Rocket2DMn> mailing lists: old school still rulez!

286 [00:51] <Silver_Fox_> Well, while we are here I would like to have the YNU FG's attention. We need to arrange another meeting as the last one that was scheduled only I attended.
287 [00:51] <drs305> That's pretty focused, Silver_Fox_
288 [00:51] <Silver_Fox_> So pop by the channel #ubuntu-beginners-ynu
289 [00:51] <Silver_Fox_> Indeed.
290 [00:52] <st33med> YNU is...?
291 [00:52] <ibuclaw> Young New Users
292 [00:52] <Hellow> Young New Users
293 [00:52] <st33med> ah
294 [00:52] <ibuclaw> st33med, it was to help the main channel stay "child" free
295 [00:52] <ibuclaw> well ... just to help mature up the main channel a bit
296 [00:52] <starcraftman> ibuclaw: lol, like that'll ever happen.
297 [00:53] <bodhi_zazen> Silver_Fox_: I think interest in the YNY will wax and wane depending on maturity in the channel
298 [00:53] <st33med> What children are we talking about?
