   1 [00:01] <bodhi_zazen> #startmeeting
   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.

 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.

 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

 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?
 299 [00:53] <ibuclaw> starcraftman, before you came, it was needed at the time
