12:19 Kamion we should probably get started even though mako's not around 12:19 Kamion (properly) 12:20 Kamion I don't know about anyone else but it's pretty late here and I'm already tired 12:20 Seveas +1 12:20 Kamion so the first item on the agenda is: 12:20 Kamion Continuing the IRC network discussion 12:20 Kamion can I go and hide now? 12:20 Seveas that's still waiting on a sabdfl-aware meeting 12:20 Kamion all right then 12:20 Hobbsee surely that's not being discussed again :P 12:20 Kamion # 12:20 Kamion Call for nominations for the "Localisation / Translation Team Leader". We would like to call for folks to volunteer to be considered as the coordinator of Ubuntu translation efforts using Rosetta.

I started out on redhat 6 in 1999, moved to mandrake a couple of years later. 12:51 trappist I was active in Mandrake, a member of the "club" and of the security team. I switched to Debian about 12:51 Ubuntuser Seveas, one more to family 12:51 trappist 2 years ago for political and professional reasons and liked it a lot. I tried Ubuntu just after 12:51 trappist breezy was released and decided, hopefully for the last time, that this was the distro for me. Since 12:52 trappist then I've been active in the community on as many fronts as I'm capable of contributing to, and maybe 12:52 trappist 1 or 2 more ;) I'm on the doc team where I made decent contributions to the serverguide and have 12:52 trappist proofread extensively, and I'm in the process of writing a securityguide. I peruse bugs often, and 12:52 trappist try to fix any that I can. I have a partial list of bugs to which I've uploaded patches, if you like. 12:52 trappist I also report bugs, help out on #ubuntu and #kubuntu, and make occasional contributions to the wiki. 12:52 trappist I'm the author of ipkungfu, the new version of which I'm working on getting packaged, and I run 12:52 trappist #iptables on freenode. In real life I currently work for an airline consultancy, running the network 12:52 trappist and helping to write applications for airlines to manage their maintenance programs, FAA compliance 12:52 trappist documentation, etc. I have a wife and a daughter, both of whom are surprisingly supportive of the 12:52 trappist time I spend working on geek stuff like ubuntu. === Seveas does some cheering for trappist because of his bug work === trappist thanks Seveas after some recent headbutting === jenda joins in because of the support in #ubuntu (he helped me once ;)) 12:53 Lure yep, trappist does a great job on bugs 12:53 gnomefreak trappist: has been helping out in kubutnu more and more and he just like 3 minutes ago helped someone in -bugs :) 12:53 gnomefreak +1 for trappist 12:54 ompaul +1 trappist for general support I have seen him do 12:54 LaserJock trappist helped out quite a bit with the Dapper documentation doing proofreading and making sure we had a consistent style 12:54 imbrandon +1 from trapist from me too 12:54 imbrandon s/from/for 12:55 Riddell trappist has been known to fill my inbox with kubuntu related bug triage, which I'm all for 12:55 Kamion that's a lot of bug karma 12:55 Hobbsee quick! lets spam Riddell's inbox some more! 12:55 imbrandon hehe 12:55 jono Hobbsee, woo! 12:55 trappist Riddell: I wouldn't have thought you'd notice :) 12:55 Seveas Kamion, bug karma increases quickly since recently === sng [n=sng@unaffiliated/scarynetworkguy] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 12:56 Seveas mine has had a few 100k more than just a few weeks ago 12:56 gnomefreak my understanding its gonna be changing alot 12:56 trappist is it also gonna be documented a lot?

I worked my way through a handful of distros including Mandriva and Fedora before finally settling on Ubuntu around the time of Hoary. Now even my Mother uses Ubuntu, which has given me great insight into usability issues from a non-technical perspective. 01:07 welshbyte Last year I was president of Swansea University Computer Society (of Alan Cox fame) and this year I'm its treasurer. Along with that, I've also been a systems admin for the society - we run web/email/ftp/etc services from a small room on campus. We have about 150 members and we always keep a stock of Ubuntu CDs in our computer room to offer to members. 01:07 welshbyte I am the maintainer of a python/glade easy-backup application called pybackpack which I resurrected from a 2005 Google Summer of Code project which was pronounced "dead". It needs a lot of cleaning up but it has good potential. 01:07 welshbyte I filed my first Ubuntu bug last October and started irregular sessions of bug triage shortly after that, hanging out on #ubuntu-bugs and lurking on other Ubuntu channels out of interest. A couple of months ago I taught myself how to package debs and about a month ago I started participating in #ubuntu-motu along with #ubuntu-bugs and with more regularity than before. Since then I have been triaging bugs and taking 01:07 welshbyte an interest in MOTU activities. 01:07 welshbyte My recent contributions have mostly been helping out the MOTUs with packaging, merging, syncing and little jobs like writing a missing man page. I've also been helping bddebian look into some troublesome issues like maxima's GCL bugs and the Eclipse libraries problem. I now regularly read 10 ubuntu-related mailing lists and I'm starting to get a good feel for how the whole development system works. Details of my pac 01:07 welshbyte kaging contributions are listed on my wiki page. 01:08 Seveas any MOTU around for cheerleading? 01:08 welshbyte Along with merging/packaging/fixing for Universe I'm also happy to give other users in #ubuntu-motu some help with their own packaging and programming questions. I've found that the people that hang out in #ubuntu-motu, #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-bugs are hugely helpful and friendly and I enjoy being part of that community. I've also been known to lurk in #ubuntu+1 and #ubuntu-uk although I'm more interested in the d 01:08 welshbyte evelopment-related channels. === j_ack_ [n=rudi@p508D9854.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 01:08 crimsun I'll add because I have to return to a meeting that both welshbyte and Fujitsu_ make bug triaging and universe merges much more tolerable. They learn quickly and play well with the rest of the teams. 01:08 Seveas imbrandon had to leave but wanted to cheer for welshbyte too 01:08 elmo Dear Wiki, you are the SUCK. Love, James. 01:08 welshbyte I hope I can help the Ubuntu community fight the "battle of the bugs" and also help to take a chunk out of the huge amount of work the MOTU team have to undertake. As I learn more about the development process the number of contributions I can make to Ubuntu increases and it gets even more fun. Eventually I'd like to become a MOTU and help to keep the increasing number of packages in universe up to a high standard o 01:08 welshbyte f quality.

I'm a 15-year-old student in Year 12 in Melbourne, Australia. I started out on Red Hat (7.0?) in mid-2000, when my father introduced me to it. I stayed there for a couple of years, moved to Mandrake, greatly disliked it, so moved to Slackware for about 1.5 years. I discovered Ubuntu just before the release of Hoary, and I haven't left since. 01:16 Fujitsu_ Around the release of Breezy I began to help a lot in #ubuntu. This continued until just after the release of Dapper, when I had to stop sitting in #ubuntu, as it was using up my download limit rapidly :(. 01:16 Fujitsu_ Also around the release of Breezy, YukiCuss and I formed the AustralianTeam, which I now manage the server for, and has around 170 people on the mailing list, and well over 50 members. 01:16 Fujitsu_ Since the move to Launchpad, I've been triaging bugs a fair bit. I'm not doing so much now, though, devoting more time to MOTUish activities. 01:16 Fujitsu_ I've merged and requested syncs for over 40 packages during the Edgy development cycle, with a few new ones yesterday. 01:16 mako LinuxBA: skipped you, you're next 01:16 mako LinuxBA: sorry 01:16 Surak Congrats welshbyte 01:16 LinuxBA okay 01:16 Seveas Fujitsu_, you're only 15?!? 01:16 LinuxBA mako, no prblem 01:16 Fujitsu_ Seveas, yup... 01:16 welshbyte thanks Seveas, Surak :) 01:16 Fujitsu_ As of two months ago. === jenda thinks age in and of it self should not be a criterion... 01:17 mako jenda: don't worry it's not 01:17 Seveas jenda, I don't consider it as such, I was merely very surprised 01:17 jenda as long as those two months were filled with significant and sustained contribution :) === Plug [n=crb@203-167-190-117.dsl.clear.net.nz] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 01:18 elmo Fujitsu: you haven't applied for ubuntu-members in LP ? === Seveas does 3 cheers for Fujitsu, he likes to push buttons in Malone 01:18 Fujitsu_ elmo, I thought I was only meant to once I was approved. 01:18 Fujitsu_ Thanks Seveas :) 01:18 mako Fujitsu_: no, do it before the meeting 01:18 Fujitsu_ Ah, I'll do it now. 01:18 Kamion I do tend to hold younger people to a higher standard of sustainedness, personally, just because people who are still in school have a lot of demands on their time that they can't control 01:19 Kamion but Fujitsu's been around for a good long while 01:19 LaserJock I also support Fujitsu, he has been helpful for me in MOTU Science doing bug work and has certainly been helping out in -motu 01:19 imbrandon yea Fujitsu has been a great help with the merges, i have sponsored a few packages for him ( his LP +packages shows 40+ ) , he has a big +1 from me 01:19 elmo mutter 01:19 elmo don't use www.launchpad.net for links folks === KurtKraut [n=ktk@unaffiliated/kurtkraut] has joined #ubuntu-meeting 01:19 Surak Kamion: but they doesn't have a boss nor a wife.
