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. The Beginners Team Council will review all discussions and will vote on issues once they are ready to be voted on.

UndiFineD send of an email to the UBT mailinglist, making a couple of suggestions to improve UBT. This should be pre-discussed on the Mailing list. Suggestions to vote:

  • Have a proper task for the student that will help them and Ubuntu.
  • Let the student give a presentation of the task done.
  • Make classes for the Focus Groups so new students can get on par with the team.
  • The focus groups should come up with a list of tasks to be done for their group to assign to new students.
  • Make it clear when a student gets his membership, with the new suggestions for membership improvements.
  • Make projects and a subset of tasks for each Focus Group, so current members and students can work together,
    • get to know each other and have a task to fulfill to gain membership and help to improve Ubuntu.

Fixed Agenda Items

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
