Absences

If you know that you will definitely be unable to attend the next meeting, please put your name and reason in the table below:

General Agenda Items and Proposals

PLEASE COME TO THE MEETINGS PREPARED.

This means:

1. If there is an issue for the team, add it to the agenda.
2. Agenda items then should be discussed "informally" on #ubuntufourms-beginners. 90 % of the discussion should have taken place before the meeting.
3. Meetings are primarily for decision making/team votes. Read the agenda and discuss your thoughts before the meeting. 10 % (or less) of the discussion should happen during the meeting.
4. Agenda items that require more then 5 minutes of discussion may need to be deferred.

Agenda discussion

Change main meeting time by 2 hours

Further from recent talks regarding Eurasian meetings Joeb454, Bodhi Zazen and myself believe that a compromise can be made and have the main meeting time set back by approximately 2 hours.

We have arrived at the 2 hour figure by examining closely Nhandlers doodle poll [1]. From the poll it has become evident that the majority of the Eurasians could attend the meeting if it were set slightly earlier. We feel that it is not sensible for a second meeting to occur only 2 hours earlier than the main meeting. Doing so would alleviate the organization problems that this would cause.

New Member Nominations

This section is for nomination for membership. Padawan will be nominated here at the discretion of masters and voted by team members at the next meeting. If you are nominated please try to attend the meeting. If you are unable to attend please notify bodhi.zazen (or at least the person that nominated you, who will then pass it on).

Steps to Add New Member to Team

These steps are to be performed after a Padawan is voted to become a member of the Ubuntu Beginners Team at a meeting.

1. Grant the user voice in #ubuntu-beginners: /msg ChanServ FLAGS #ubuntu-beginners <NICK> +VA

2. Add the user to ~ubuntu-beginners on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-beginners/+addmember (Be sure to verify their Launchpad name either on IRC or by checking their wiki or forums profile)

3. Offer the user a VoteBot factoid: /msg VoteBot .addFactoid <NICK>|<FACTOID>

Steps to Schedule Next Meeting

These steps are to be performed after each meeting to ensure that all locations that mention the date of the next meeting are up-to-date

1. Determine a date and time for the next meeting. Meetings normally happen every other Tuesday at 23:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting. The date/time can change to accommodate daylight savings time, major holidays, or other events that might prevent a large number of people from attending. If a different time is used for the meeting, be sure to check the Fridge and verify that there isn't a meeting already scheduled for that time. If there is, the meeting might need to be held in #ubuntu-beginners instead of #ubuntu-meeting.

2. Update the /topic in #ubuntu-beginners to reflect the date/time of the next meeting

3. Update the wiki header. Be sure to update the timeanddate.com link url as well as the link text.

4. Verify that the Fridge has the correct information for the upcoming meeting. If it does not have the correct information, remove the incorrect event, and add a new event with the correct information.

Focus Group Meetings

To shorten the monthly team meetings, setup meetings for each Focus Group:

Can people please put meeting times in UTC (GMT isn't the same!) at least, as we are all in different time-zones

FG Leader Nominations

Appointments will take place every 6 months. Please add your name with a link to your wiki page. On your page, have a short agenda of your proposed plans for the team to fulfill in the following 6 months. Proposed agendas should be no more than 100 words. Current leads are listed and assumed to want to be considered for re-appointment, but still must have a proposed agenda.
