   1 [02:00] <pleia2> #startmeeting
   2 [02:00]  * jtatum waves :)
   3 [02:00] <pleia2> ok, welcome everyone!
   4 [02:00] <pleia2> so our agenda is technically empty: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Meetings/11October23
   5 [02:00] <pleia2> but I want to jump right in and talk about our leadership situation
   6 [02:01] <pleia2> several weeks ago Darkwing put a call out for people to volunteer for the leadership team, we have 3 spots and ended up with 3 applicants: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership/2011
   7 [02:01] <pleia2> so just like last year, not enough for a proper election
   8 [02:02] <akk> 3 good candidates, though!
   9 [02:02] <philipballew> looks good to me
  10 [02:02] <pleia2> so we figured the fairest way to do this is to give folks an opportunity to express any concerns they may have with these three folks and handle it accordingly, if no one has problems then they get added when the old team expires on October 27th
  11 [02:02] <iheartubuntu> looks good to me too. i would love to but dont know what is needed to perform duties
  12 [02:03] <pleia2> the way we'll do this is have jdeslip collect any concerns, since he's still a leader and he's not running again
  13 [02:03] <akk> I have no concerns about any of the three -- I'd vote for them all.
  14 [02:03] <philipballew> i dont really like pleia2 she's to nice and works to hard :)
  15 [02:03] <pleia2> he's jdeslip@gmail.com, and I'll send an email to the list explaining all this :)
  16 [02:03] <pleia2> philipballew :)
  17 [02:04] <pleia2> iheartubuntu: the leadership team follows what's outlined in our leadership charter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Leadership
  18 [02:04] <pleia2> day to day we just make sure meetings happen and things are documented properly
  19 [02:04] <Gareth> Hmm. Do the elected have the option to some how eliminate the other two and then rule with an iron fist?
  20 [02:05] <pleia2> Gareth: paying them off is much easier
  21 [02:05] <pleia2> also, less blood
  22 [02:05]  * philipballew also takes bribes if anyone is interested. 
  23 [02:05] <pleia2> so, the only other thing we really have is some event recap :)
  24 [02:06] <Gareth> pleia2: Oh I wasn't implying violence...just wanted to leave the door open for all possibilities.
  25 [02:06] <pleia2> hehe
  26 [02:06] <pleia2> last week we had some things in northern california, sf ubuntu hour and release dinner, and mt view ubuntu hour
  27 [02:06] <philipballew> SD Ubuntu hour
  28 [02:06] <akk> pleia2 just beats the other two with stuffed ubuntu characters until they come around to her way of thinking.
  29 [02:06] <pleia2> I blogged about them here: http://princessleia.com/journal/?p=5184 and photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pleia2/sets/72157627938849996/
  30 [02:06] <pleia2> akk: haha
