[00:04] <UndiFineD> or was it oktober ... time flies
pairing padawans
[00:04] <duanedesign> [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership [00:04] <MootBot> LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Membership [00:04] <duanedesign> is there anyone here who has not yet been paired up with antone? [00:05] <duanedesign> anyone* [00:05] <hakimsheriff2> Sorry im late [00:05] <phillw> duanedesign: as people on the mentor list are recommended by their TL's, it is a difficult problem. Do we turn them away are welcome them? [00:05] <duanedesign> or should that be paired up with someone...:P [00:05] <collinp> hakimsheriff: No problem. I was -almost- late myself. [00:05] <jledbetter> Paired up as in 'seeking master'? Right? [00:05] <phillw> /sare/or [00:06] <duanedesign> jledbetter: yes a master or mentor [00:06] <duanedesign> phillw: what is TL? [00:06] <collinp> Team Leader? [00:06] <phillw> Team Leader, as per the email sent out. [00:06] * jledbetter isn't a mentor or master but has no available time at the moment, unfortunately. [00:07] <duanedesign> jledbetter: ok, thank you for beiing honest [00:07] <collinp> I was here before the team was even called what it is now. I guess that classifies as enough experience :P [00:07] <collinp> Sadly, I have no time either. [00:07] <jledbetter> That's how I roll :) Maybe next month. [00:08] <hakimsheriff2> I am not a full member yet so I cant [00:08] <duanedesign> hakimsheriff2: do you have a Beginners Team member sho is helping you out? [00:09] <hakimsheriff2> Mohi is.my mentor [00:09] <duanedesign> each prospective member should have someone who is helping them join the team and.or joining a team in the community [00:09] <duanedesign> hakimsheriff2: oh great [00:09] <duanedesign> he has been a little ill lately. he will be back soon [00:09] <hakimsheriff2> Thats why I didnt see him [00:10] <jledbetter> Is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/Mentors up to date? Those the only approved masters/mentors? [00:10] <duanedesign> lets keep an eye out for the people on the mentee list and see who stops by the channel [00:10] <MrChrisDruif> No member either....even if I was, wouldn't have much time :) [00:10] <UndiFineD> MrChrisDruif: you are doing great :) [00:10] <phillw> hakimsheriff if you need a bit of extra help, I'm sure that pedro would assist you, those two guys work very closely together. [00:11] <duanedesign> yes mohi has chicken pox :( I think he is on the mends though [00:11] <hakimsheriff2> Help in what exactly? [00:11] <collinp> Remember that Ubuntu is purely volunteer work, you contribute only if you have the time for it, so there's no pressure if you can't due to other obligations. [00:11] <phillw> hakimsheriff in any area. [00:11] <duanedesign> hakimsheriff2: anything UBuntu or BT related [00:12] <hakimsheriff2> Mohi helps me getting involved [00:12] <duanedesign> collinp: so true. We want this to be fun [00:12] <hakimsheriff2> It is fun! [00:12] <jledbetter> fun +1 [00:12] <MrChrisDruif> Suggestion: discuss this after the meeting? O:-) [00:12] <hakimsheriff2> Sure [00:13] <pedro3005> fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun [00:13] <duanedesign> also all the members of the team are your mentors. Everyone gets someone assigned to them to be a designated contact, but dont be afrais to ask anyone on the team a question [00:13] <duanedesign> pedro3005: lol [00:13] <hakimsheriff2> Btw.... My normal nick doesnt hav a 2 in it [00:13] <duanedesign> jledbetter: yes that is the list [00:14] <duanedesign> ehich is a good transition into next topic [00:14] <jledbetter> :)
more mentors
[00:14] <duanedesign> [TOPIC] more mentors [00:14] <MootBot> New Topic: more mentors [00:14] <duanedesign> ok, we put into place some new requirements to be a mento. [00:14] <duanedesign> mentor [00:15] <collinp> Welcome seidos. [00:15] <duanedesign> basically the community at large wanted some reassurance that our mentors knew their stuff [00:15] <seidos> gracias collinp [00:16] <jledbetter> Have to be a Master to be Mentor, right? [00:16] <duanedesign> if the bug guys or the doc guys are going to send mentees to us they want to make sure we are assigning knowledgable mentors [00:16] <duanedesign> jledbetter: yes, I think all members are masters [00:16] <jledbetter> Great. [00:16] <phillw> duanedesign: there was only one way I could get Manuela happy as a mentor, as she does not fit into any of the main 4 groups, but Accessibility is a vital part of ubuntu. So I put her htere. [00:17] <phillw> *there* [00:17] <duanedesign> that makes sense [00:17] <duanedesign> phillw: we want to start an accessebility FG eventually [00:17] <duanedesign> so I see no problem with that [00:17] <jledbetter> That'd be nice. [00:18] <duanedesign> If you all saw my email earlier today it outlined breifly the requirments to be a mentor [00:18] <duanedesign> bug fg mentor should be a member of Bug Control [00:18] <duanedesign> doc FG, doc contributors or wiki admin [00:18] <phillw> as the TL for speechcontrol and dragging a dormant project back to life, she has done outstanding work. [00:18] <UndiFineD> I talked with cprofitt on a accessibility FG , he said it would fit in with devs and support [00:19] <duanedesign> support fg, is based on contributions since their is no community team counterpart [00:19] <duanedesign> Development FG you should be a Contributing Developers, per-package uploaders, MOTU or Core Developers. [00:19] <seidos> is there a particular focus group considered to have the most need right now? [00:20] <duanedesign> hhmmm, good question
accessibility FG
[00:20] <MrChrisDruif> Accessibility, as it's a young fg? [00:20] <duanedesign> ill think about that [00:21] <duanedesign> i want to encourage all members to be mentors [00:21] <phillw> seidos: they all need help, but having missed the 10.10 docs, if you are familar with wiki and docs, that team needs a bit of help. [00:21] <UndiFineD> if an accessibility FG would be created, the people with interest are recommended to be forwarded to #ubuntu-accessibility [00:21] <seidos> phillw: i have done a bit of wiki [00:21] <seidos> i was going to say bugs, but you kind of need to know dev to fix code, unless bugs need triaging [00:22] <duanedesign> If you are already a member of one of the community teams I mentioned, or you feel like you have enough support under your belt please let me or cprofitt know [00:22] <duanedesign> so we can add you to othe mentor list [00:23] <jledbetter> Will do [00:23] <duanedesign> I also wanted to ask if anyone thinks there are any good ideas for encouraging/helping each other join these teams so we can increase the number of mentors [00:23] <hajour> i was not on the list but i been made mentor not long ago [00:23] <phillw> duanedesign: the creation of an accessibility FG would allow more people to feel comfortable, they need not be a member of just one. There are, for example, some excellent coders on the tram. I'd ask that you check with the council [00:24] <phillw> /s/tram/team/ [00:24] <duanedesign> right now we will probablly do the accessebility FG under another FG until it grows a bit and then we will make an official FG [00:24] <UndiFineD> duanedesign: I have a broad interest, so I try know a bit of all [00:25] <hakimsheriff2> Good idea [00:25] <duanedesign> i think charlie-tca is also very interested in accessebility [00:25] <jledbetter> duanedesign, How to get more mentors? Ask? Maybe training too? [00:25] <seidos> i dabbled in accessibility [00:25] <seidos> i couldn't get orca working [00:25] <seidos> not sure what other tools are out there [00:26] <duanedesign> jledbetter: i thought maybe some loose knit ggroups that help each other accomplish the requirements for membership in the team of interest [00:26] <hajour> i am mentor accessibility duanedesign [00:26] <phillw> duanedesign: but it is a bit difficult, as we do teaching web pages, have devs working on projects etc. They just do not know where to 'slot in' [00:26] <UndiFineD> seidos: you can ask that in #ubuntu-accessibility [00:26] <jledbetter> duanedesign, I can definitely see that being helpful with dev. It's a huge realm. [00:27] <collinp> phillw: Accessibility would fit in under the dev FG. [00:27] <duanedesign> PabloRubianes: hello [00:27] <PabloRubianes> yes [00:27] <collinp> Until it gets to a critical mass where it can form it's own FG. [00:27] <duanedesign> PabloRubianes: sorry i was tryiing to respond to your PM :P [00:27] <UndiFineD> collinp: what is considered critical mass ? [00:27] <collinp> Enough to sustain it. [00:27] <collinp> Probably 10+ members. [00:28] <duanedesign> yes we have had a problem in the past of jumping the gun on FG [00:28] <phillw> collinp: speechcontrol itself is well past that :) [00:28] <UndiFineD> collinp: I think we reached that already [00:28] <duanedesign> where we have focus groups that sound ggreat, we form them and they never quite sustain themselves [00:28] <phillw> as we are under the access group, you'd be suprised :) [00:28] <hakimsheriff2> I am using a text to speech right now [00:29] <duanedesign> UndiFineD: thats great. we can work on that this month and put it on the agenda for next meeting [00:29] <collinp> phillw: Consider the fact that the Dev and Wiki FGs are the only ones that have 5+ members in their IRC channels. [00:29] <jledbetter> Accessibility helps everyone so it's good that it's a very popular group [00:29] <MrChrisDruif> Great hakimsheriff2 :) [00:29] <collinp> Right now, at least. [00:29] <hajour> we have 40 members on speechcontrol team and we are attached on the accessibility program collinp [00:29] <phillw> duanedesign: I know that fully well, but with people like hajour and pen, along with alan bell - that FG would be self sustainable. [00:30] <collinp> Speaking of the Dev FG, at the end of the meeting duanedesign, could I make an impromptu announcement? [00:30] <duanedesign> collinp: absolutely [00:30] <UndiFineD> new members interested in accessibility are requested to join #ubuntu-accessibility [00:31] <seidos> UndiFineD: already joined [00:31] <phillw> they are also required to sign the CoC [00:31] <duanedesign> ok so we need more mentors, so lets encourage each other and do what we can there [00:32] <jledbetter> Sounds good
padawan progression
[00:32] <UndiFineD> well, I think I might be ready for a new padawan soon [00:32] <seidos> duanedesign: i can go where i'm wanted. people don't like hanging out in an empty and/or quiet channel [00:32] <duanedesign> :) [00:32] <phillw> duanedesign: I have a new lubuntueer, he's a dev person. I may be able to get him on board. [00:32] <MrChrisDruif> UndiFineD flies through his padawan's :P [00:33] <duanedesign> ok whho has mentee here? [00:33] <duanedesign> who wants to give an update [00:33] <MrChrisDruif> duanedesign: Hmm? [00:33] <phillw> duanedesign: I have 4! [00:33] <hajour> well there are all working on the accessibility programs seidos because i have many in the speechcontrol team [00:33] <UndiFineD> I have MrChrisDruif , who needs testamonials [00:33] * seidos flies through his master [00:33] <seidos> d'oh [00:34] * seidos puts on the rock of shame and the rock of triumph [00:34] <collinp> phillw: Wow. [00:34] <collinp> That's quite a bit. [00:34] <MrChrisDruif> xD [00:34] <duanedesign> MrChrisDruif: at each meeting we like to give updates on how our mentees are doing. Mentors/Masters share the success, or disappearances of their mentees [00:34] <duanedesign> ill go first [00:34] <phillw> UndiFineD: MrChrisDruif is a wonderful padawan, it is joy and delight to chat to him. He has learned so much. [00:34] <duanedesign> Daniel** has been doing well. He has been putting in the time showing up in the channel [00:35] <duanedesign> he also is working with phillw [00:35] <duanedesign> next [00:35] <hajour> i think MrChrisDruif also would be a good master [00:35] <duanedesign> dont be shy, someone tell us how your mentee is doing... [00:36] <jledbetter> What about mentee saying how she/he is doing if master isn't present? [00:36] <duanedesign> that would be awesome [00:36] <phillw> I know that two of mine have had 'issues', but they have assured me that they will not let the project that they have been assigned to down. [00:37] <duanedesign> phillw: i think as long as they let you know what is going on [00:37] <UndiFineD> MrChrisDruif has been my padawan for a small month, he has been around much longer than that, he is my first, but I think he is ready for his testamonials, he made great progress and is involved in the development with many common teams [00:38] <phillw> UndiFineD: If it were a vote, he'd get a +1 from me without hesitation. [00:38] <seidos> do you cover positive and negative aspects of mentees or padwans? [00:38] <duanedesign> yes MrChrisDruif i see alot in the channel which is good :) [00:38] <MrChrisDruif> duanedesign: phillw is omnipresent (or has his ways of getting the news O:-)) [00:38] <duanedesign> seidos: mostly positives and missing in actions [00:39] <seidos> RIP MIA :( [00:39] <UndiFineD> seidos: we tend to emphasize the positive, negative aspects can be dealt with in private hmm :) [00:39] <collinp> Look who strolls in. [00:39] <hajour> duanedesign, cprofitt is not here but i have JackyAlcine in my team many hours and i see him also often in ubuntu beginners team and in ubuntu-beginners helping [00:39] <duanedesign> that way if someone is missing someone else has the opportunity to say oh [s]he is... [00:39] <seidos> UndiFineD: always? like festering wounds? [00:39] <duanedesign> yes [00:39] <duanedesign> i mean yes to hajour :) [00:40] <seidos> i inferred \o/ [00:40] <seidos> is inference the same as assumption? hmmm [00:40] <collinp> Inference is guessing something missing based on what is given. [00:40] <collinp> Assumption is guessing based on past experience. [00:41] <jledbetter> haha [00:41] <UndiFineD> I think JackyAlcine is ready [00:41] <duanedesign> ok great [00:41] <seidos> past experience isn't given? hmmmm [00:41] <phillw> hajour: I think JackyAlcine would make an excellent mentor, he has the patience to help and the thirst to learn. [00:41] <hajour> collinp, a little could you be a little more clear? [00:41] <hajour> yes agree phillw [00:42] <duanedesign> [ACTION] work on accessebility fg [00:42] <MootBot> ACTION received: work on accessebility fg [00:42] <MrChrisDruif> Does JackyAlcine have the time? He's always busy with SpeechControl :) [00:42] <collinp> Er. google.com -> define:inference and define:assumption [00:42] <seidos> collinp: i don't disagree with the definitions [00:42] <seidos> thanks :) [00:42] <charlie-tca> i can infer from what he implied [00:42] <jledbetter> But anyway... [00:42] <hajour> MrChrisDruif, a mentee can work with the project fromm his her mentor
consider accessibility FG
[00:42] <duanedesign> i think that is hajour and UndiFineD. The accessebility fg [00:42] <collinp> charlie-tca: Oh my god. [00:43] <charlie-tca> lol [00:43] <charlie-tca> but assume is never good [00:43] <seidos> charlie-tca: you can, but should you ;) [00:43] <jledbetter> Back to agenda, please :) [00:43] <collinp> ^ good idea. [00:43] <phillw> there are enough people on accessibilty channels to support a FG - Some quite astounding people in fact
new member voting
[00:44] <duanedesign> oh and charlie-tca and hggdh have been doing a great job of being available to answer questions in our channel about bug triage [00:44] * hggdh hears self's name [00:44] <duanedesign> please be aware they are there and they love to help :) [00:44] <UndiFineD> yes, the user days was nice [00:44] <phillw> duanedesign: and tenach has started the classroom sessions for coding web sites [00:45] <UndiFineD> ? phillw did i miss it ? [00:46] <phillw> UndiFineD: we have not done that one yet.... me and another are doing those sessions :D [00:46] <duanedesign> me and cprofitt talked today about hggdh and charlie-tca becoming members of the BT. I probably dont have to tell you all they would be great members of the team [00:46] <MrChrisDruif> I don't want to be a party pooper, but we've got about 15 mins left.... [00:47] <UndiFineD> duanedesign: totally agree-ing [00:47] <duanedesign> and since the last thing we always cover is member votes let us vote on them being members :) [00:47] <phillw> duanedesign: I do not know hggdh, but charlie-tca I would give a +1 to [00:47] <collinp> There's not another meeting for a while, so we probably won't have any trouble if we go over the meeting time. [00:47] <hajour> +1 [00:47] <hggdh> phillw: I am one of the admins for bug-control and bugsquad [00:48] <PabloRubianes> duanedesign, good lets vote then [00:48] <duanedesign> [VOTE] hggdh for member [00:48] <MootBot> Please vote on: hggdh for member.

[00:52] <UndiFineD> duanedesign:could we vote on JackyAlcine and / or MrChrisDruif ? [00:52] <pedro3005> and seidos ! [00:52] <collinp> We need more members for the Dev FG. I was staving off due to the team structure changes, but I think this would be the best time to announce that, since most of the team is here. [00:52] <MrChrisDruif> =-O [00:52] <hajour> duanedesign, can JackyAlcine be next time on the list for to become ubt member ? [00:52] <duanedesign> heh, seidos is like mohi [00:52] <collinp> The current member list for the Dev FG, I can count on two hands. [00:52] <duanedesign> you mean he is not a member yet! [00:52] <collinp> The active members I could count on one hand. [00:53] <pedro3005> duanedesign, he's been my padawan for about a year [00:53] <duanedesign> collinp: you are rifght [00:53] <collinp> If you're interested in joining.. well, let me get the wiki page. [00:53] <pedro3005> i can't stand that guy anymore! make him a member already [00:53] <MrChrisDruif> pedro3005: A year? [00:53] <pedro3005> :P just kidding [00:53] <pedro3005> he's cool [00:53] <jledbetter> collinp, Aren't we a member if we're on launchpad? [00:53] <collinp> jledbetter: You're a member if you're in the Launchpad team, yes. [00:53] <duanedesign> i know there is a lot of interest in the Dev FG... [00:53] <pedro3005> MrChrisDruif, he became my padawan less than a week after I became a member myself
More members requested for Developers FG
[00:53] <collinp> But first, there's a process. [00:54] <jledbetter> Woots [00:54] <MrChrisDruif> pedro3005: Same with UndiFineD and me :) [00:54] <collinp> If you want it simply put, it's me checking that you have the credentials enough to be a productive member of the team (not very much) and helping you if you don't. [00:54] <MrChrisDruif> Maybe two weeks...didn't count O:-) [00:54] <collinp> So apply to the Launchpad group and I'll get to you on IRC to ensure that you have the credentials for the team. [00:55] <duanedesign> [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Development [00:55] <MootBot> LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Development [00:55] <jledbetter> That's a nice idea to help folks get there, collinp [00:55] <duanedesign> dev FG is aweosme. [00:55] <pedro3005> so, let's please consider. the poor guy will go on an existential crisis [00:55] <phillw> MrChrisDruif: this is a marathon, not a sprint. take your time and get to know other members :) [00:55] <duanedesign> ok seidos [00:55] <collinp> Rage. I can't find the wiki page. [00:55] <seidos> pedro3005: couldn't you just make a program to automagically confirm members? [00:56] <collinp> So I'll just have to list them out manually. [00:56] <jledbetter> collinp, Is it the one duanedesign linked? [00:56] * seidos laments and gnashes his teeth === davidm_ is now known as Guest14614 [00:56] <MrChrisDruif> phillw: I didn't mention being voted upon O:-) [00:56] <collinp> jledbetter: That's the team's Wiki page, but not the one I'm looking for. [00:56] <jledbetter> Ah ok [00:56] <pedro3005> seidos, but, democracy! [00:56] <duanedesign> we will do MrChrisDruif and JackyAlcine next meeting so if you have not met them yet take a minute to say hi [00:56] <collinp> Ok. Knowing or be learning a programming language is the biggest one. [00:56] <seidos> pedro3005: have everyone vote on your program ;) [00:56] <jledbetter> Even Java? ;) [00:56] <MrChrisDruif> Hai :D [00:56] <collinp> Any programming language will do. [00:56] <collinp> jledbetter: Yes, even java. [00:57] <jledbetter> haha :D [00:57] <pedro3005> seidos, that program exists, it's called MootBot [00:57] <collinp> (sadly) but uh [00:57] <collinp> No, I'm kidding. [00:57] <pedro3005> yeah [00:57] <pedro3005> we don't take java programmers [00:57] <jledbetter> :'( [00:57] <UndiFineD> alright duanedesign [00:57] <duanedesign> ok [00:57] * jledbetter takes her blocks and goes home [00:57] <seidos> i wish i knew java, heh [00:57] <collinp> Knowing your way around bug trackers and release systems is preferred. [00:57] <collinp> That's about all that I can think of. [00:57] <pedro3005> jledbetter, it's okay. you can still repent your sins. haskell will show you the way to salvation [00:58] <jledbetter> haha Haskell? hahahahaha [00:58] <jledbetter> Yeah bug tracker, versioning (bzr/git), yep yep [00:58] * pedro3005 grumbles [00:59] <pedro3005> enough dev chat? [00:59] <duanedesign> :) [00:59] <collinp> Typical knowledge of development tools is preferred. [00:59] <collinp> Now I'm done. [00:59] <jledbetter> Never! But ok. [00:59] <pedro3005> we can diverge to -dev if necessary
