02:07 ogra we have two EC nominations 02:07 highvoltage well, i suppose the EC should exist first before it approves members :) 02:07 JaneW ogra: ok 02:07 JaneW ogra / highvoltage : yes good point! 02:07 ogra i think only EC should vote for EC 02:07 JaneW ogra: ok want to run with this part? 02:08 JaneW ogra: yes but like CC we can hear argument from outsiders 02:08 highvoltage let the arguments begin! 02:08 JaneW which can help the EC to decide 02:08 JaneW so who is the EC 02:08 JaneW so far ogra 02:08 ogra and you 02:08 JaneW and I 02:09 JaneW I think we need at LEAST one and preferably 2 more 02:09 ogra so praise the candidates *now* ! 02:09 ogra i'd say we need at least 2, preferably 3 :) 02:09 JaneW what will consistute a quorum? 2 or 3? 02:09 highvoltage ogra: any candidates from university? 02:09 JaneW I'd say 3 02:09 ogra JaneW, we need a weight against employee power 02:09 LaserJock highvoltage: me 02:09 jsgotangco stand au loin 02:09 JaneW ogra: yes === Seveas does a cheerleading dance for highvoltage 02:09 ogra so at least two for now === bimberi praises highvoltage === cbx33 advocates both highvoltage and LaserJock 02:10 JaneW ogra: should we look at other Ubuntu ppl (Kamion, mdz etc some to mind) 02:10 flint I would suppose that all this should be written on a web site and ratified by a popular vote. 02:10 cbx33 thank you both for all your help and support === Bluekuja quote cbx33 02:10 ogra JaneW, i doubt they have ambitions to become EC members :) 02:10 JaneW ogra: I don't know 02:11 Kamion JaneW: please not me; I'm already on the Community Council and the whole point of this is to delegate 02:11 Kamion not much point in delegating to myself 02:11 ogra flint, it was discussed on the mailinglist over the last week 02:11 JaneW Kamion: ok, noted 02:11 bimberi hehe, i think they have enough meetings :) 02:11 cbx33 heheh 02:11 JaneW ogra: what about jsgotangco or mhz? 02:11 ogra JaneW, aslo i think two canonical employees is really enough 02:11 flint typically the beginning of governance starts with a vote of aclaimation. 02:11 Kamion I think it's important that the Edubuntu council are people who are actively involved in Edubuntu, not just Ubuntu in general 02:11 ogra flint, as it happened on the ML 02:11 highvoltage i think both jsgotangco and mhz would be good candidates 02:12 ogra yes, jsgotangco would be great 02:12 jsgotangco err? 02:12 JaneW highvoltage: additionally they cover different timezones, which is handy 02:12 flint ogra, was there a posting of quorum? 02:12 ogra mhz is rarely around recently 02:12 JaneW jsgotangco: ! 02:12 JaneW ogra: yes, but he might be able to fix that 02:12 Kamion flint: FWIW this is delegation of governance not initiation of governance 02:12 ogra flint, there was an explanation how we want to go forward with that, some nominations and praising 02:13 highvoltage ogra: he's been real busy 'out there' though 02:13 flint Kamion, i missed one meeting was there a vote to initiate this council? 02:13 ogra highvoltage, right 02:13 JaneW jsgotangco: you interested? 02:13 jsgotangco ack 02:13 Kamion flint: it's a delegated body requested to be created by the Ubuntu Community Council === juliux [n=juliux@217.19.180.97] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 02:13 jsgotangco :D 02:13 JaneW I'll take that as a no...? 02:13 jsgotangco i thought we are nominating? 02:13 ogra JaneW, ack usually means acknowledged 02:13 flint JaneW, I believe that is so. 02:13 JaneW ogra: the problem is that the longstanding active community is still pretty small. 02:13 cbx33 ogra: not in calvin and hobbes :p 02:14 JaneW ack can be like GAH! 02:14 LaserJock cbx33: hehe 02:14 flint Kamion, I agree that the UCC says go but do WE say so? 02:14 ogra JaneW, yes, but we have people like LaserJock highvoltage and jsgotangco applying for the job, so i think thats fine 02:14 JaneW ogra: great, let's take all 3. ? 02:15 jsgotangco JaneW: i don't mind doing this for the interim till we get stable enough for proper voting 02:15 ogra we'll get more people involved with a working council simply through membership 02:15 ogra i'd also like to suggest a time limitation on the job 02:15 ogra i.e. max two release periods 02:15 jsgotangco yeah 02:15 highvoltage time limitation is great 02:15 LaserJock yep 02:15 JaneW Yes that's a good idea 02:15 highvoltage does membership also have time limitation? 02:16 bimberi ogra: yes, tying it to release periods is a very good idea 02:16 ogra people can apply again and get voted again though 02:16 cbx33 ogra: good 02:16 ogra highvoltage, yes, two years by default iirc 02:16 ogra LP setting 02:16 JaneW yes I think that's it 02:16 highvoltage ok, great. 02:16 ogra so JaneW would you be happy with these three then until eft+1 ? 02:16 JaneW ok do we have the core EC then? 02:17 ogra looks like :) 02:17 JaneW LaserJock/ highvoltage / jsgotangco you happy with that? 02:17 highvoltage JaneW: yep 02:17 ogra jsgotangco, highvoltage, LaserJock welcome to the powerful world of the EC :) 02:17 JaneW I need a clear affirmative 02:17 jsgotangco JaneW: sounds fun 02:17 ogra yeah 02:17 highvoltage mhuahahaha 02:17 highvoltage JaneW: YES 02:17 LaserJock yes, I am here ;-) === jsgotangco evil grin 02:17 JaneW ok Done === cbx33 congratulates highvoltage LaserJock jsgotangco 02:18 ogra LaserJock, and you are fine with it ?

02:18 bimberi \o/ 02:18 JaneW flint: not so much dev related, more COMMUNITY issues, by definition 02:18 ogra flint, the EC candidates should be members for some time already 02:18 JaneW but I am sure dev will be touched on too 02:18 flint should a teacher or a student be involved, maybe one or the other already is? 02:19 ogra flint, we're done for now with that part ... 02:19 highvoltage flint: read ogra's last post to edubuntu-devel, he said exactly that :) 02:19 LaserJock flint: I'm a PhD student and teach a bit as a part of that 02:19 flint LaserJock, excellent. 02:19 jsgotangco yeah he has a Laser 02:19 JaneW cbx33: is also involved with a school 02:19 cbx33 indeed I am 02:19 ogra flint, and highvoltage closely works on the frontline with teachers and schoools 02:19 jsgotangco im not messing with a guy with a *Laser* 02:20 flint ogra, I have very good feelings about Jonathan. 02:20 LaserJock jsgotangco: heh, you better not ;-) 02:20 JaneW ok, on to today's candidate/s 02:20 highvoltage flint: :) 02:20 ogra jsgotangco, pfft, just get a big mirror 02:20 ogra he cant harm you :) 02:20 jsgotangco lol 02:20 JaneW we have cbx33 02:20 ogra yeah, membership candidates please prepare the 3 liner 02:21 ogra oops phone 02:21 highvoltage and a wiki page 02:21 JaneW cbx33: can you breifly tell us why you'd like to join 02:21 highvoltage but you don't have to phone us. 02:21 JaneW and what you plan on doing?

Have been using linux for about 2 years in various forms and recently moved to Ubuntu. Run a small LUG at the school called YouthLUG, where we teach Ubuntu to the pupils. I started contributing to Ubuntu/Edubuntu at the beginning of April. Spearheading Ubuntu advocacy at the school, giving out ShipIt CD's. 02:21 cbx33 Been working heavily on documentation recently, creating SchoolsAdvocacy page, eventually hoping to be a printed pamphlet to send to schools. Wrote LTSP man pages, and LTSP DHCP and multi boot docs. Perform testing on Edubuntu CD's, whenever required. Working on the edubuntu testing plans and report templates. Reporting bugs, submitting fixes wherever possible. Offering support whenever I can to the #edubuntu channel. 02:21 cbx33 I hope to push Edubuntu to schools more and more. Would love to showcase Edubuntu at the BETT show in London next year. More testing. Organise a team to write an edubuntu book for school administrators. Get involved with getting better Active Directory integration for easier migration for schools. More bug fixing, learning python and contributing to the LTSP manager package. Aim to be come a MOTU. 02:22 cbx33 http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PeteSavage 02:22 jsgotangco the advocacy page is exactly what i wanted for a desktop guide before 02:22 Bluekuja hehe 02:22 jsgotangco it lists the basic apps that differentiate edubuntu 02:22 cbx33 :D - were working on it 02:22 JaneW cbx33: sounds great thanks 02:22 highvoltage cbx33: is the ltsp man pages available on-line somewhere? 02:23 JaneW cbx33: yes and that advocacy page looks great, I am sure it will be very usefull. 02:23 cbx33 they are in my LTSP bazaar branch 02:23 cbx33 I do have some online links too 02:23 ogra highvoltage, i'll upload the ltsp package with the manpages today 02:23 cbx33 thank you ogra 02:23 jsgotangco i made some hi-rez screenshots of the applications, if you want, i can turn them over to you 02:23 highvoltage ok, nice. 02:23 ogra but there is also the bzr branch from cbx33 02:23 JaneW cbx33: hopefully we can print them as a brochure, but I can't commit to that unfortunately 02:23 cbx33 nice jsgotangco :D 02:23 cbx33 JaneW: I understand 02:23 LaserJock cbx33: when did you first get involved with Edubuntu? 02:24 cbx33 I've been involed with the development of edubuntu ie joinging the community since the beginning of April 02:24 cbx33 but was using and testing it a little while before, though hadn't been part of launchpad 02:24 JaneW from what I have seen so far cbx33 is not only keen, and enthusiastic, but reliable and available too, which counts for a lot. 02:24 ogra and cbx33 did an awesome job since then 02:24 jsgotangco cbx33: care to elaborate about the testingplan? 02:24 ogra i bet youre the most active community contributor currently 02:25 JaneW So even though you have only been around a short while, if you plan to stay on for a while, I am happy to gve you my vote. 02:25 highvoltage I know Ubuntu memebership is about long-term, sustained contribution, but i think that cbx33 has already proven his dedication to us in this short perioud. 02:25 highvoltage *period. 02:25 highvoltage ogra: i second that 02:25 Bluekuja yeah, cbx33 is doing a great work 02:25 cbx33 Sure, the testing plan will detail, similar to the ubuntu testing plan, what we need to do to fully test the betas, in particular the difference to ubuntu 02:25 ogra oh, btw, EC quorum is 3 of 5, right ? 02:25 Bluekuja just taking a look to the advocacy page 02:25 JaneW ogra: yes 02:25 cbx33 the report tempalte is supposed to provide a way of signing off packages to say they have been tested and approved by at least 2 people 02:26 LaserJock I've had very good interactions with cbx33. He did proofreading for the Ubuntu Packaging Guide and I'm helping him with the Advocacy page a bit 02:26 cbx33 JaneW: I plan to stay :p 02:26 JaneW ogra: but I think if only 3 memebers are present (quorum) then the vote would need to be unnanimous (agreed?) 02:26 cbx33 thank you highvoltage 02:26 highvoltage JaneW: yep 02:26 highvoltage sorry, you asked ogra 02:27 ogra JaneW, i'd think 4 weeks of *very active* contribution is enough to call it sustained, even if he'd disapper tomorrow he would have contributed a lot already :) 02:27 Bluekuja yeah 02:27 JaneW do you all agree that 3 votes are needed to get in? regardless of now many EC members are in attendance? 02:27 ogra JaneW, yep 02:27 Bluekuja he's working really hard for the project 02:27 LaserJock JaneW: agreed 02:27 highvoltage ogra: yep 02:27 jsgotangco ack 02:28 ogra so does anyone have any additional questions to cbx33 ? 02:28 Bluekuja nope 02:28 cbx33 https://launchpad.net/people/petesavage/ 02:28 cbx33 whoops i forgot to add that 02:28 ogra the wikipage talks for itself i think and we all have already worked with him 02:28 JaneW ok so official voting now.
