10:59   Seveas  ok, let's get started. Order in the room please
=== nixternal has to go learn how to be a programmer - GOOD LUCK to the candidates
11:00   Seveas  agenda is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda, first on the agenda is superm1 with the mythtv team
11:00   MikeB-  sabdfl_: don't see him, is he traveling today to LinuxTag
11:00   Seveas  (sriramadas is not here for derivative team)
11:00   dholbach        MikeB-: I though he'd travel tomorrow
11:00   nixternal       MikeB-: yes about Jono (read blog)
11:00   superm1 Okay, i'll get started then:
11:00   superm1 Hi, i'm Mario Limonciello and I'm one of the folks here representing the Ubuntu MythTV team.  We were formed roughly 8 months ago, unofficially. My teamates and I have been working to make MythTV on Ubuntu a very solid experience that is easy to use.  You can see our wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MythTVTeam
11:00   superm1 and some information about our upcoming Ubuntu remix, Mythbuntu at: http://www.mythbuntu.org.
11:00   spaceinvader    welp: :P
11:01   imbrandon       and I'm here on behalf of the MythTeam too
11:01   mdke    Seveas: does anyone know what the issue that is referred to in the link under the derivative topic is?
11:01   sacater spaceinvader: please leave, this is not a good time
11:01   superm1 and Daviey and keescook too :)
=== keescook waves
11:01   ubuntu_demon    hey :)
11:01   Seveas  mdke, I don't and from the part of the discussion I saw last time, not many people do
11:01   Daviey  yep, i'm here
11:02   mdke    there is some reference to problems with Canonical
11:02   Seveas  I'll poke sriramadas for next meeting
11:02   mdke    sabdfl_: know anything?
11:02   crimsun (I've also worked with superm1 from -mythtv)
11:02   mdke    Seveas: ok, we'll chase it up via email.
11:02   mdke    the mythtv team looks well organised and well supported to me
11:03   blizzzek        hi
11:03   dholbach        it looks quite well to me too, and I'm happy to see so many people in it
11:03   dholbach        how many of the mythbuntu changes go directly into Ubuntu?
11:03   superm1 we've also got several folks that regular the forums to troll and help posts
11:03   sabdfl_ mdke: problems in connection with?
11:03   superm1 so far everything but ubiquity
11:03   imbrandon       dholbach, 100%
11:03   dholbach        (I didn't see the splash screen package in Ubuntu yet, that's why I asked ;-))
11:04   juliux  hi all
11:04   dholbach        imbrandon: excellent
11:04   superm1 crimsun uploaded it a week or so ago
11:04   dholbach        ah ok
11:04   superm1 (the splash)
11:04   sabdfl_ superm1: i've had very good feedback from people about mythtv on ubuntu, thanks to your team's work
11:04   imbrandon       it needed a bit of work, but we're striving to do everytign in the archive
11:04   mdke    sabdfl_: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2007-April/001281.html is the thread referred to
11:04   Daviey  dholbach: were trying to get it in :)
11:04   crimsun (yes)
11:04   Klaidas @schedule Vilnius
11:04   ubotu   Schedule for Europe/Vilnius: Current meeting: Community Council | 30 May 15:00: Edubuntu | 30 May 23:00: Xubuntu Developers | 31 May 19:00: Ubuntu Development Team | 01 Jun 00:00: Kubuntu Developers | 05 Jun 22:00: Technical Board
11:04   dholbach        do you have close ties to the upstream folks? are there any in the team too?
11:04   Seveas  (remove noise during meeting)
11:05   mdke    thanks Seveas
11:05   superm1 sabdfl_, we've tried to follow as much input on the forums as possible with things that needed work for feisyt
11:05   Mithrandir      I've been unhappy with some of their packages when doing reviews of them; I haven't reviewed enough of them to know whether it's a problem with a couple of people who just haven't had enough training or if it's a systemic problem.  I suspect the former, in which case it's much easier to fix than in the latter case.
11:05   Mithrandir      I think it can be fixed by trying to pull them more into the normal workflow, though.
11:06   mdke    is there a process in place to deal with the problems Mithrandir mentions?
11:06   mdke    within the team, I mean
11:06   superm1 Well that was one of the big reasons we are running to be recognized here, we were looking to get a mailing list made
11:06   sabdfl_ mdke: oh, no further news from dfarning afaik, and i'm still not sure what he was referring to there
11:06   keescook        Mithrandir: I've been trying to help where I know how and to get other MOTU to comment on things I'm less familiar with.
11:06   superm1 we currently have IRC at #ubuntu-mythtv
11:06   imbrandon       mdke, yes myself and i know crimsun and keescook atleaste have been working on getting everythgin 100% upto standards packing wise
11:06   superm1 but not everyone is on at all times
11:06   dholbach        mdke, sabdfl_: I'll prod him again by mail.
11:07   mdke    sabdfl_: weird. ok We'll follow up with him by email maybe
11:07   crimsun (I tend to be pretty rigorous/harsh in reviewing.)
11:07   mdke    superm1: a mailing list sounds like a very good idea.
11:07   Mithrandir      also, this was a couple of months back, so it might well have improved.
11:07   Daviey  mdke: We applied for it over two months ago - not sure what the holdup is.
11:07   superm1 Mithrandir, yes - i think i know which upload your referring too also.  putting some stuff into /home
11:07   superm1 and such
11:08   Seveas  Daviey, general too-much-work-ness in the admin department
11:08   Daviey  Seveas: heh :)
11:08   mdke    Daviey: we have a bit of a problem with mailing list creation at the moment; jono is supposedly working on it so hopefully you will have good news soon
11:08   sabdfl_ superm1: if you guys are committed to making your changes in the archive, then i see no problem with official recognition of the team, and also of your dedicated derivative
11:08   Daviey  mdke: that would be really good.  Where we work on so many different timezones - irc doesn't always work out
11:09   mdke    sure
11:09   superm1 sabdfl_, the only questionable change to commit back to archive will be the ubiquity - because its such a drastic patch that we are applying to it
11:09   mdke    perhaps use -motu for now, and poke jono regularly :)
11:09   sabdfl_ superm1: this is to make the system boot straight to myth, right?
11:09   Mithrandir      superm1: can't it be modularised or made conditional somehow?
11:09   superm1 mythbuntu will create a system that boots right into myth and configures myth
11:09   superm1 yes sabdfl_
11:10   superm1 Mithrandir, I was going to work with the ubiquity guys after we have our patch fully completed and see how feasible that is
11:10   superm1 but atm there are a few things yet for us to finish and determine how much needs changing
11:10   Seveas  superm1, isn't it possible to separate that from ubiquity so people can turn their existing ubuntu boxes into mythtv machines?
11:10   Seveas  and hook the separate program into ubiquity in your derivative
=== ScottK has been reviewing superm1's packages on #ubuntu-motu and they definitely seem committed to getting things into the archives and doing things correctly.
11:11   superm1 We have docs explaining how to do that right now, but no seperate program yet
11:11   imbrandon       Seveas, yes, thats also done quite easliy now with the currect meta packages
11:11   Seveas  imbrandon, excellent
11:11   sabdfl_ i guess there are two use cases: (1) the box is dedicated, and (2) you want to work on it, then turn it into a myth box, then work on it again
11:11   mdke    sounds good. The team clearly has some good peopl behind it and good communication, especially considering they don't have a mailing list yet
11:11   superm1 (http://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV)
11:11   Daviey  Seveas: We are trying to get everything to work from exisiting repo's - so you don't need the dedicated release
=== Seveas cheers for the team
11:11   mdke    +1 from me
11:11   sabdfl_ +1 from me, anyone else want to take a view?
11:11   Burgundavia     +1 from me
11:11   dholbach        I'm very happy with the team as it is, +1 from me too
11:11   MikeB-  +1 from me
11:12   mdke    nice
11:12   Seveas  5 out of 6, elmo care to cast a vote?
11:12   Seveas  or are you already hiding for the next subject? ;)
11:12   imbrandon       :)
11:12   elmo    +1
11:12   Daviey  woo
11:12   Seveas  excellent, moving on quickly to covr more
11:12   superm1 Yay, unanimous vote  :)
11:13   Seveas  Burgundavia, you're on (planet ubuntu editorial)
11:13   mdke    superm1: write to us if you don't get your list
11:13   Burgundavia     right
11:13   superm1 Okay mdke thanks
11:13   Burgundavia     we are considering the following spec: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PlanetUbuntuEditorialPolicy#preview
11:13   Burgundavia     the idea was mind, kicked up with the recent dell issue and brought again into the light with the \sh issue
11:14   Burgundavia     the primary idea behind the spec is to create 1) a palce for people to contact to get illegal crap removed from planet, including accidential breaches of embargo
11:14   Burgundavia     2) a clearly defined procedure for objectionable content
11:14   Burgundavia     mdke and myself have been working on the language over the past day
11:15   elmo    could we please tone down the 'censorship' language on there?
11:15   mdke    this afternoon I added some thoughts which I found in a previous discussion of these issues, by silbs, sabdfl and cjwatson; so it should have a reasonably cc-ed direction, I hope
11:15   elmo    I see it's been improved, but it's still all over the use cases
11:15   yann2   i am not particularly happy with the "Material is posted which (generally unintentionally) offends another community member."  :(
11:15   towsonu2003     2nd use case looks problematic
11:15   mdke    yann2: just to be clear, that is in the Rationale. If you read the spec, it doesn't actually ban such material, far from it
11:16   sabdfl_ by illegal, i take it you also mean content which causes legal problems for companies or individuals as well as stuff that is genuinely illegal?
11:16   towsonu2003     yann2, me neither, there is too much stuff that might offend at least one person
11:16   yann2   "Melanie is a north american conservative catholic feminist, and is _Extremely_ offended by a post from a west european boy"
11:16   Burgundavia     what should be very clear: we are not defining what should or should not be banned
11:16   yann2   (not related to melissa, but as example)
11:16   sabdfl_ just the process for addressing it
11:16   yann2   ok :)
11:16   mdke    yann2: I don't think you've read the spec very carefully. You've just got stuck at the beginning
11:16   sabdfl_ i think the spec could use a little work
11:16   mdke    but yeah, the use cases need work
11:16   yann2   mdke > i did read it :)
11:16   mdke    and the spec in general should have more consultation, I think. It has come onto the agenda rather quickly
11:16   sabdfl_ it basically says "it's ok for us to take some stuff off, go here -> to get that done if you think something should come off"
11:17   gnomefreak      a very good point was brought up on this in -women, where do we draw the line between offensive/inappoprate and ok to post.
11:17   ScottK  Since planet is just a mirror, what would be the point of removing information due to breaches of confidentiality?  Once something's on the internet, you can't really get it off.
11:17   Burgundavia     i brought it up for consulation. I full expect it to require more work
11:17   Burgundavia     ScottK: it is about best effort
11:17   yann2   in \sh comments, it was proposed to divide the planet in planet ubuntu and ubuntu universe, i would support this idea
11:17   mdke    ScottK: because of the wide readership
11:17   PriceChild      ScottK, but on planet it is representing Ubuntu.
11:17   sbalneav        You're going to have to be very clear and explicit about what you consider to be objectionable material that's not suitable for planet.  If you're not, your simply going to end up with arbitrary decisions being made for every case.
11:17   yann2   it would allow to be more laxist on the "universe" and maybe define stronger guidelines on the planet
11:18   Burgundavia     yann2: that is a seperate issue
11:18   sabdfl_ i don't think we should aim to please everyone
11:18   JanC    PriceChild: so hiding things that happen inside Ubuntu is good ?  :)
11:18   ScottK  OK. Joe posts information.  Jane whines and claims to be Joe's employer.  What's the process for verification?
11:18   PriceChild      JanC, Of course not.
11:18   sabdfl_ you need something of a robust sense of humour to survive on the net, in any event
11:18   towsonu2003     but wouldn't universe work like the Backyard in ubuntuforums.org - a way to burry stuff?
11:18   mdke    sabdfl_: +1
11:18   Burgundavia     indeed
11:18   mdke    sbalneav: I think the general approach is to leave it up to the individual member to decide what they consider suitable. For serious breaches of the coc, like with all mediums, we are here
11:18   JanC    sabdfl_: not only on the net
11:18   sabdfl_ the recent question from melissa is really interesting in what it raises
11:19   MikeB-  this is definate a case of Ubuntu growing pains
11:19   kalon33 JanC: sure, in the life too :p
11:19   ajmitch mdke: some people have a *very* broad view of what's acceptable
11:19   elkbuntu        fyi, i am here, albeit half asleep still
11:19   mdke    ajmitch: I understand that, and people's different personalities are part of what makes planet interesting
11:19   JanC    it has been proposed to create both a "complete planet" and a "filtered planet"
11:20   ScottK  Who is the filter?
11:20   sabdfl_ why not make this doc nice and short, and say "stuff can be removed here, being subscribed is not an automatic right to have anythin you write published here"
11:20   Burgundavia     JanC: that gets into a kettle of fish I don't wnt to touch
11:20   imbrandon       who filters , based on what
11:20   mdke    ajmitch: fwiw, the previous complaints that sparked a discussion on the cc list were about a post dealing with politics that was found offensive
11:20   sabdfl_ then point to: canonical admins for emergencies, cc for social issues
11:20   JanC    if you don't like the filter, don't use it  :)
11:20   MikeB-  we need express to people that the Ubuntu community is worldwide, all nationalities, religions, age groups, etc...
11:20   mdke    sabdfl_: yeah, I think it will be better
11:20   Burgundavia     sabdfl_: that is pretty much what is there, in the implementation section
11:21   sabdfl_ then also, separately, we could have a set of guidelines that mas the CoC to the blogosphere
11:21   sabdfl_ just like we have it for IRC, Forums
=== ScottK says +1 to sabdfl_'s latest.
11:21   Burgundavia     what if we just nuked everything but the implementation section?
11:21   sabdfl_ i wouldn't mind having a non-CC team delegated to deal with social issues like this
11:21   Burgundavia     that deals with the annoying use cases and rationale, etc.
11:22   dholbach        I like sabdfl_'s idea. It should be a light-weight straight-forward process. Trying to point out what's allowed and what's not will always put you into problems. The less policy like and the more process like (for emergencies), the better.
11:22   kalon33 I like sabdfl_ idea too ;)
11:22   yann2   sso basically, remove everything that may pose problem?
11:22   towsonu2003     +1 Burgundavia's offer
11:22   ScottK  Legal issues and company confidential information are two separate issues and should be deconflated.
11:22   yann2   if it offend one person, delete it? bloggers won't like that
11:22   JanC    dholbach: true, but then you might get a bias by the judges
11:22   mdke    yann2: arghh
11:22   sabdfl_ we should equally have a piece that says "hey, don't be a wilting flower, if you disagree with something here, write up a smart, witty counterblog and woo the crowds to your view"
11:23   dholbach        JanC: which judges?
11:23   LaserJock       yann2: please read what is being said. that was never suggested
11:23   imbrandon       sabdfl_, +10
11:23   JanC    well, whoever "judges"
11:23   sabdfl_ is there an existing team which would be a good pre-CC stop for issues raised along these lines?
11:23   markvandenborre couldn't we make a separation between "on topic" (ubuntu only)
11:23   Burgundavia     sabdfl_: just a touch confused. What you propose. Is that not just the implemenation section as written?
11:23   mdke    sabdfl_: well, jono
11:23   markvandenborre and off topic (not ubuntu only)?
11:23   JanC    i just mean, the "judges" should be chosen carefully   :)
11:24   keescook        as long as we can avoid in-planet inter-blog flame wars, the "witty retort" can be nice.
11:24   elkbuntu        sabdfl_, and when it comes to the CoC being broken, one would risk counterbreaking it, which is not something that should be encouraged
11:24   ScottK  Burgundavia: The implementation section still conflates legal and company confidential in a way that is really problematic in my view.
11:24   sabdfl_ Burgundavia: roughly. let me have a stab at tightening it up
11:24   imbrandon       sabdfl_, a one man team, jono , heh
11:24   dholbach        JanC: to me the solution sounds like a process for emergencies, where things can be discussed - no active judging if or if not posts are suitable.
11:24   Burgundavia     ScottK: you are concerned about how it puts the two together?
11:24   JanC    well, someone will have to make decisions
11:24   mdke    elkbuntu: the problem is that the question of whether the CoC has been broken can be quite subjective.
11:24   ypsila  :-D
11:24   mdke    I think what will eventually come out of issues like this, and which I've seen raised elsewhere too is the proposal of making some amendments to the CoC which makes it a bit clearer what is actually regarded as disrespectful and inconsiderate. People are having more and more difficulty applying it in various contexts.
11:25   ScottK  Burgundavia: Yes as they are two completely separate issues in almost all cases.
11:25   ScottK  Breaking a company rule and breaking the law are different
11:25   markvandenborre mdke, I think that idea is fundamentally flawed in a global context
11:25   imbrandon       AACS key
11:25   markvandenborre when it comes to non-ubuntu things
11:25   yann2   +1 to mdke on the examples
11:25   mdke    markvandenborre: you mean the CoC is fundamentally flawed?
11:25   markvandenborre no, not at all
11:26   ajmitch keescook: though some people will certainly just pack up & move on if they're constantly seeing stuff that's blatantly offensive, rather than write up something about it
11:26   Burgundavia     ScottK: if you post something in contravention of an embargo, that is actually a legal issue
11:26   keescook        ajmitch: yup.
11:26   markvandenborre I mean that in cultural background x, mentioning igasm is perfectly ok
11:26   ScottK  It's a contractual issue which is not exactly the same thing.
11:26   markvandenborre in another one, it is not
11:27   mdke    markvandenborre: right, that's why the spec suggests reminding posters that the planet is a global community
11:27   markvandenborre and the further you get from ubuntu as the binding factor, the less these
11:27   JanC    mdke: what's appropriate is different all over the world, who are we to cut it in stone?
11:27   Burgundavia     ScottK: they both need to be dealt with the same way, however
11:27   sabdfl_ anybody have a url for \sh's controversial post?
11:27   sabdfl_ i didn't see it
11:27   ajmitch markvandenborre: right, how willing should we be to allow offending people then?
11:27   mdke    JanC: what we are defining is what is appropriate for global interaction, it's a common denominator.
11:28   ScottK  Burgundavia: I disagree.  I'll say again, Joe posts something.  Jane shows up and complains that Joe has published confidential information and is an employee of Jane's company.  How do you verify that?
11:28   ubuntugeek      Just curious, is there a way for planet to only pull from a certain section of a persons blog? Perhaps the user if they want to be listed on the planet creates an Ubuntu section and that is the only thing that is polled into the planet feed. Since posts are made on a persons personal blog you are sorta telling them what they can and can't talk about outside the community.. my 2cents.
11:28   mdke    ubuntugeek: sure, tags and filters work
11:28   keescook        is there anything that recommend people only post ubuntu-related things to planet?  I use an "ubuntu" tag in my blog, just so I have to choose to have a post be included.
11:28   gnomefreak      sabdfl_: ill have it in a minute
11:28   elkbuntu        sabdfl_, http://linux.blogweb.de/archives/335-Apple-is-not-amused,-but-you-should-be,-when-you-use-it.html
11:28   Burgundavia     providing your blogging software supports that
11:28   Seveas  sabdfl_, http://linux.blogweb.de/archives/335-Apple-is-not-amused,-but-you-should-be,-when-you-use-it.html  http://linux.blogweb.de/archives/337-My-Appologies-to-everybody-not-living-in-a-free-country.html
11:28   Mithrandir      sabdfl_: http://linux.blogweb.de/ ; http://linux.blogweb.de/archives/335-Apple-is-not-amused,-but-you-should-be,-when-you-use-it.html in particular
11:28   gnomefreak      or not\
11:28   JanC    mdke: I don't think that such a thing really exists
11:28   Seveas  lol :)
11:28   keescook        Burgundavia: hm, true
11:28   profoX` ubuntugeek: that depends on the blog, but its possibnle with most blogs
11:28   imbrandon       http://linux.blogweb.de/archives/335-Apple-is-not-amused,-but-you-should-be,-when-you-use-it.html
11:28   gnomefreak      http://linux.blogweb.de/archives/335-Apple-is-not-amused%2C-but-you-should-be%2C-when-you-use-it.html
11:28   mdke    JanC: essentially, the CoC is about helping people work efficiently in a large and global community. It's not about dictating what is acceptable in difference cultures
11:28   gnomefreak      that would be it
11:29   welp    with gentoo, the blogs have a 'gentoo' category, which gets aggreated to planet.gentoo.org, everything else goes to planet.gentoo.org/universe
11:29   welp    just fyi
11:29   JanC    mdke: and it already does that IMHO
11:29   ubuntugeek      ProfoX': perhaps there should then be a requirement that your blog supports it.
=== welp stfu again
11:29   mdke    JanC: sure. But it might be able to do it better
11:29   sabdfl_ ubuntugeek: we can't verify every detail, but it's possible to make a reasoned judgement
11:29   LaserJock       ubuntugeek: that's certianlly possible, that's what I do. but in \sh's case I believe he termed that censorship
11:30   elkbuntu        LaserJock, from how i understood his arguing, yes
11:30   MikeB-  ubuntugeek: most blog software allow you to make a rss feed for a specific categories
11:30   mdke    whether to filter/tag posts to planet is a question of choice of the individual blogger
11:30   imbrandon       well not exactly, i intentionaly post everything from my blog to planet because planet in its true form is a "view into the lives of the people behind the project" not nessesarly "about" the project
11:30   markvandenborre I would like to see the responsibility for what a planet visitor looks at with the user for as much as possible
11:30   ubuntugeek      sure but the downfall of that would surley be less then the downfall of someone posting something that aggravates multiple people.
11:30   imbrandon       well not exactly, i intentionaly post everything from my blog to planet because planet in its true form is a "view into the lives of the people behind the project" not nessesarly "about" the project
11:30   imbrandon       err
11:31   mdke    we need to focus this discussion a bit
11:31   Burgundavia     indeed
11:31   yann2   you will still need one person who is going to make the choices.
11:31   sabdfl_ interesting. i don't think that post is a problem. it's racy, sure, but not offensive in western terms
11:31   keescook        imbrandon: that's why I was wondering if there was a published "the planet should be for all blog entries" vs "please keep it project-oriented"
11:31   ubuntugeek      My point is, it would seem better to enforce a requirement policy and be upfront with it then to censor. The person should agree to that requirement, if they break it they loose their planet access.
11:31   sabdfl_ that's not to say that it won't cause some people a reasonably anxious moment or two
11:31   imbrandon       keescook, there is a small blurb on the right
11:31   mattva01        shouldn't there just be a big disclaimer  at the top?
11:32   keescook        I kinda like welp's described tag/tagless split
11:32   markvandenborre We need a solution where on one hand posters know they can post what is appropriate in their cultural context, as long as it doesn't violate basic human rights civilised people can agree on.
11:32   markvandenborre Viewers on the other hand should be able to easily avoid posts potentially inappropriate to them. This carries the risk of alienating part of the community.
11:32   Seveas  this is going on for too long -- maybe we should summarize the discussion, let corey amend the policy and give this a retry later? The agenda is rather long and we'v not come too far on this subject
11:32   JanC    sabdfl_:  "western" isn't the right word, it depends on the subculture you live in
11:32   sabdfl_ corey, would you also look into Tim O'Reilly's blog code of conduct?
11:32   sabdfl_ there might be things we can embrace there, as a translation of the CoC into blog-terms
11:32   Burgundavia     sabdfl_: it looks a touch overdone, but sure
11:32   mdke    markvandenborre: can you explain how the spec fails to do what you've described?
11:32   sabdfl_ i don't think we want to be that heavy handed
11:33   hypa7ia \sh's comments are also worth considering in the light of his earlier comments about "sexy posters" on planet
11:33   hypa7ia imo
11:33   sabdfl_ and i think we really only want to rule out deeply offensive and personal items
11:33   mdke    hypa7ia: hi!
11:33   JanC    hypa7ia: welcome (even if we don't agree on some things ;) )
11:33   sabdfl_ in general, things like \sh's items are best addressed with a few quiet words, rathe than a  lynching party
11:34   elkbuntu        sabdfl_, we tried. believe me, we really did try.
11:34   sabdfl_ elkbuntu: i might well have posted that link myself!
11:34   JanC    one problem is there had been previous issues with you a Hobbsee
11:34   sabdfl_ don't consider it a failure
11:34   elkbuntu        sabdfl_, i'm glad you didnt.
11:34   Burgundavia     for the record: http://blogging.wikia.com/wiki/BCC <-- drafts bloggesr code of conduct
11:34   sabdfl_ i'm more concerned with his style of response to you
11:34   sabdfl_ but i only have that second-hand
11:35   mdke    that's the real problem here; the discussion afterwards
11:35   JanC    sabdfl_: it's his style, he probably regrets some things by now  :)
11:35   markvandenborre mdke, many posts that are controversial in some cultural backgrounds should be fine on the planet, but viewers from those cultural backgrounds should have an easy way to avoid them
11:35   ypsila  \sh actually is in Berlin to represent Kubuntu on the linuxtag
11:35   sabdfl_ right. we should remember this: we can't encode "getting along" in a set of rules
11:35   imbrandon       ok i must run , Seveas if sacater gets to membershiptoday he has my +1
11:35   towsonu2003     mdke, I'm not really sure what the real issue here...
11:35   sacater imbrandon: thanks
11:36   elkbuntu        sabdfl_, im a person that is reasonably unfazeable, and while i personally was not offended by the post, due to my letter last week, i received a number of confidential communications concerned about it
11:36   sabdfl_ ok, can we conclude? this has been a good discussion. i'd like to move that:
11:36   hypa7ia sabdfl_: but an established process for dispute resolution is worthwhile
11:36   Seveas  imbrandon, +1 means nothing without arguments
11:36   hypa7ia and in this case there wasn't a process for planet
11:36   sabdfl_ => i'll tighten up the current doc, on a KISS basis
11:36   imbrandon       ok i'll be back shortly and give them to you
11:36   sacater imbrandon: ty
11:36   Seveas  excellent
11:36   sabdfl_ => corey will work up something nice and guidelineish, with examples
11:36   mdke    ok
=== Burgundavia looks like a deer in headlights
11:37   sabdfl_ => we'll deal with future matters arising on a case by case basis till a pattern emerges
11:37   mdke    Burgundavia: I'll help
11:37   MikeB-  Burgundavia: I can help also, what ever you need
11:38   dholbach        shall we move on to the SwissTeam?
11:38   tormod  apropos family-friendly content, see https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-clusterfuck :)

11:38   mdke    dholbach: yes
11:38   Seveas  dholbach, we should
11:38   mdke    *stgraber*
11:38   hypa7ia i'd be glad to help too
11:38   stgraber        Good evening, I'm Stphane Graber and I'm here to represent the Ubuntu Swiss Team (Switzerland).
11:39   stgraber        The Ubuntu Swiss Team was created more than a year ago and now is mainly about organizing events like the OpenExpo (having stands at computer shows and exhibitions), organizing release parties and other coming-togethers.
11:39   Seveas  Burgundavia, mdke, sabdfl_: thanks for tackling it and good luck
11:39   stgraber        We also provide support with our mailing-list, IRC channel and our extensive list of local contact persons spread all over Switzerland.
11:39   stgraber        As we have 4 official languages here in Switzerland, we've chosen English as our exchange language and then people are mainly using language-specific forums for online-support and our contact list for local-support.
11:39   stgraber        Our wikipage is : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam
11:39   stgraber        and our Application : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SwissTeam/ApprovalApplication
11:39   Tribaal +1
11:39   dholbach        I like the "Fondue for Human Beings" :-)
11:39   Tribaal hehehe
11:39   stgraber        :)
=== tormod waves virtual Swiss flags
11:40   mdke    stgraber: I read the wiki pages - looks excellent to me. I was wondering how your relationship with other teams is; the question of overlapping languages is a really tricky one in the Ubuntu community at the moment
11:40   JanC    stgraber: sounds a bit like the Belgian team  :)
11:40   markvandenborre mdke, it works fairly well in Belgium
11:40   stgraber        yes, but with 4 languages in our case :)
11:40   welp    swiss++
11:40   mdke    markvandenborre: yeah, I know
11:41   mdke    but we can learn more from each new team
11:41   tormod  we (SwissTeam) focus on local activities, not language-specific
11:41   markvandenborre absolutely
11:41   stgraber        well, basically the team only do the on-site part of the support, which means meeting, release parties and exhibitions, the on-line activities are directed to the others communities like ubuntu-fr, ubuntu-it, ubuntu-de
11:41   JanC    tormod: so do we in Belgium
11:41   mdke    right
11:41   tormod  JanC: makes sense doesn't it :)
11:42   yann2   ubuntu-fr will be happy to work with you stgraber , if you need help on some points, ... ;)
11:42   dholbach        we could do with some more swiss MOTUs - do you know of any people getting involved with that part of the community?
11:42   mdke    stgraber: ditto ubuntu-it
11:42   ypsila  stgraber: you forgot kubuntu-de ;-)
11:42   tormod  many SwissTeam members are members in -de -fr groups etc
11:42   stgraber        and we also have some translators for those languages
11:43   stgraber        ypsila: oops, sorry, that's right -de has kubuntu specific website
11:43   tormod  yann2: if you need help from us... :)
11:43   stgraber        yann2, mdke : thx
11:43   ypsila  stgraber: not only!
11:44   Seveas  A quick note for all member candidates: If you did not yet join the ubuntumembers tam on launchpad, please do so *now*
11:44   stgraber        well, (x/ed/k)ubuntu-(it/de/fr).org should be better, isn't it ? :)
11:44   mdke    I don't want to sound like a total noob, but what is the frame of reference for approving loco teams? What are the relevant considerations?
11:44   Tribaal ubuntu-ch members on launchpad?
11:45   Burgundavia     mdke: was about to ask that myself
11:45   Seveas  mdke, that they are actively promoting/supporting ubuntu -- which for the swiss team seems to be ok :)
11:45   ypsila  stgraber: :-) of course!
11:45   tormod  we also try to work closely and productively with all the general linux- and open-source associations here
11:45   mdke    the swiss team sounds pretty well organised, well led and well supported. I'm happy to give my support, but I don't actually know what standard I'm supposed to apply for "officialising" locoteams
=== ScottK has to go in a few moments. I'd like to speak in favor of membership for sacater when the time comes. He is clearly very enthusiastic and committed to Ubuntu. My only suggestion would actually be to dial back his enthusiasm a bit as his interest in helping sometimes exceeds his experience, but that will come in time. I think he would make a good addition to Ubuntu members.
11:46   stgraber        yep, we have quite a lot of LUGs here and I think we have some good links with them
11:46   Seveas  mdke, other considerations are thir plans for the future, cooperation with othr teams etc...
11:46   Seveas  jono/elkbuntu should b able to give the executiv summary :(
11:46   Seveas  err :)
11:46   juliux  or smurf ;)
11:46   sacater ScottK: tyvm
11:46   elkbuntu        hmm?
11:46   Seveas  ScottK, noted
11:47   mdke    I think we should perhaps tie the standard required down sometime, maybe write some things down. But whatever it is, the swiss team clearly passes it :)
11:48   mdke    so +1
11:48   dholbach        does anybody have anymore questions? MikeB-, Burgundavia, sabdfl_, elmo?
11:48   Tribaal Yeeeha
11:48   Burgundavia     +1 from me
11:48   elmo    +1
11:48   MikeB-  +1 from me, look like a great team
11:49   dholbach        +1 from me too, excellent work being done in the team
11:49   WaVeR   Ubuntu-ch is also for make some install party and to get more people using Ubuntu on Switzerland
11:49   WaVeR   +1 for me
11:50   Seveas  sabdfl_, ?
11:50   Seveas  sabdfl_, seems to be missing, but since we still have quorum, I suggest we move on
11:50   Seveas  he can catch up later and the agenda is massive
11:51   Seveas  txwikinger, is the first member candidate on the list who is here
11:51   mdke    ya
11:51   Seveas  txwikinger, please paste your introduction
11:51   stgraber        thx
11:51   tormod  hurray! thanks for your trust, from the Swiss ubuntites :)

11:52   mdke    good work swiss guys
11:52   sabdfl_ Burgundavia: have a look at the editorial policy now?
11:52   stgraber        sabdfl_: thx
11:52   Seveas  txwikinger, no introduction?
11:52   Burgundavia     sabdfl_: still looking through the blogging code of conduct
11:53   Tribaal https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Tribaal
11:53   Tribaal oops
11:53   WaVeR   thanks all
11:53   txwikinger      Short introduction
11:53   txwikinger      I am working with uni/linux for a long time now
11:54   txwikinger      started to be with ubuntu for more than 2 years
11:54   txwikinger      Have a long time technical support background
11:54   txwikinger      hence have a lot of fun helping out with questions
11:54   Seveas  Are there people around who want to vouch for txwikinger ?
11:54   Seveas  <nixternal> and txwikinger is in that crowd as well for rocking the marketing scene and I am sure Corey can attest to it as well
11:54   neversfelde     yes
11:54   txwikinger      due to being bilingual  helping out with translating
11:55   neversfelde     txwikinger is a bridge to launchpad for the whole german *ubuntu community. He is among other things an important and very active member of kubuntu-de.org and alongside he translates most of the "weekly" uwn into german
11:55   Tribaal yes
11:55   mdke    lots of UWN translations listed there, nice
11:55   ypsila  yes
11:55   Seveas  Tribaal, ypsila tell us why he should be a member then :)
11:55   blizzzek        yes
11:55   dholbach        txwikinger: I noticed massive contributions to the answers tracker - that's great.... on your wiki page you say you're looking into becoming a MOTU - did you approach any MOTUs about that already? is there anything you'd like to work on?
11:55   Tribaal been pretty active, present and friendly. That qualifies in my book
11:56   ypsila  Seveas: he is competent, his translations are always perfect, except some mistakes in the german language :-)
11:56   ubuntu_demon    I'm going to sleep right now but I just want to +1  Brunellus (Luigi de Guzman) he has been on the ubuntuforums staff for a while and has been a good and able staff member.
11:56   Tribaal plus being billingual is a big plus
11:56   txwikinger      dholbach: I have done a couple of simple fixes... like spellings and so on and submitted them to MOTUs
11:56   sabdfl_ txwikinger: regarding your school MIS, have you heard of SchoolTool?
11:56   txwikinger      dholbach: I am practicing a little packaging for myself atm
11:57   txwikinger      sabdfl_: Yes I have tested it before
11:57   sabdfl_ thanks ubuntu_demon
11:57   txwikinger      sabdfl_: I am trying to connect things like SchoolTool with the requirements of the DFeS and LEAs
11:57   sabdfl_ +1 from me for txwikinger on the grounds of plenty of community work over a period of some time
11:57   dholbach        txwikinger: I'm going to announce the ubuntu-motu-mentors mailing list quite soon, it'd be nice to see if that'd help you get going. Let me know how becoming a MOTU works out for you.
11:58   txwikinger      dholbach: Thanks I would be very interested
11:58   dholbach        +1 from me too
11:58   elmo    +1
11:58   MikeB-  +1 for me
11:58   dholbach        txwikinger: thank you :)
11:58   mdke    yes, +1 from me too; lots of nice contribution over what looks like a long period
11:58   Burgundavia     +1 from me
11:58   Seveas  Burgundavia, mdke ?
11:58   MikeB-  AFK for a couple of minutes, need to send a fax ASAP
11:59   Seveas  ok, /me too impatient :)
11:59   Seveas  6 out of 6, excellent!
11:59   Burgundavia     now I just need to suck txwikinger into editing the english UWN...
11:59   Seveas  Welcome txwikinger
=== ypsila waves the big handkerchief over to Great Britain for txwikinger
11:59   Seveas  fernando, you're up
11:59   txwikinger      Thanks a lot everybody
11:59   Tribaal *claps for tx*
11:59   ypsila  Burgundavia: very good idea!
11:59   welp    txwikinger's a brit?
11:59   txwikinger      welp: I am German but live in the UK
11:59   fernando        My name is Fernando Ribeiro. I'm living in brasilia (Brazil). I'm working as a consultant in governmental sites in my country. I have already patched the command line options to use optparser python module, other little patchs, same bug fixes and testing. I'm trying to be a motu (dholbach is my mentor). I have already build mrbayers, jadetex and music-applet. Working in libgnomedb3 and mergeant packages. =)
11:59   ypsila  welp: no! he is geman! but he lives inuk
12:00   welp    mmm, good enough, i suppose ;)
12:00   ypsila  welp: good? are you kidding?
12:00   mdke    fernando: how long have you been involved in Ubuntu?
12:01   Burgundavia     fernando: link us up with a wiki page?
12:01   dholbach        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FernandoRibeiroSilva
12:01   Seveas  Burgundavia, it's on the CC agenda page :)
12:01   Burgundavia     Seveas: that is a few tabs and many conversations over
12:02   fernando        mdke: since dapper how user, in LP +/- 6 months
12:02   Seveas  Burgundavia, install the 'Permanent tab' extension for firefox, it helps in these cases :)
12:02   fernando        dholbach: thanks
12:02   cypherbios      I someone ask me, I think fernando would be a good addition to ubuntumembers to works in bug triage and packaging related stuffs
12:03   mdke    fernando: so you've been doing bug work already for 6 months?
12:03   Seveas  mdke, his karma seems not to suggest that
12:04   Seveas  Besides cypherbios, is there anyone else who want to cheer for fernando?
=== OgMaciel hasn't met Fernando :/
12:04   dholbach        I think fernando's QA efforts were focussed on improving bughelper
12:04   dholbach        I added my testimonials on his wiki page
12:05   mdke    I'm not criticising at all, it's a good wiki page and I think the contributions are really good. i just want to get a feel for the period of participation
12:05   fernando        mdke: no very active to bug work this last 4 months to marriage preparatives
12:05   mdke    yeah, I know that one
12:05   dholbach        mdke: I wasn't suggesting that you were. :-)
12:05   mdke    dholbach: sure, I just wanted to make that clear anyway
12:07   sabdfl_ fernando: it's great to have your participation
12:07   sabdfl_ reading your wiki page i can see that you definitely have made an effort to understand ubuntu, and to contribute
12:07   fernando        sabdfl_: thank you
12:08   sabdfl_ i think that membership is on the cards, but i for one think it would be worth waiting a while
12:08   sabdfl_ till there's a clearer track record
12:08   sabdfl_ fair enough?
12:08   OgMaciel        fernando: you should meet the other Brazilians too  ;)
12:08   fernando        sabdfl_: no problem
12:08   mdke    I'm with sabdfl_
12:08   mdke    fernando - stick to dholbach, and you can't go wrong :)
12:08   Seveas  fernando, just pester dholbach with more patches :)
12:09   sabdfl_ ok, so keep at it, and we'll see you in a couple of months OK?
12:09   fernando        sabdfl_: right, thank you by attention
12:09   dholbach        with the speed fernando's working on packages I think it won't take that long
12:09   mdke    nice work fernando, see you soon :)

He's doing a GREAT job in the italian community providing support in every possible form: irc, forums, wiki pages and translations becoming a reference point for anyone who needs help in our loco-team. I've got
12:11   mdke    damn
12:12   JanC    max. line length exeeded
12:12   welp    it got cut off :(
12:12   mdke    [...]  I've got the possibility to work with him on some packaging activities related to merging/patching fields too, and I think he will keep doing such a good work in  the future! Thanks and good luck Michele!
12:12   DktrKranz       I would like to cheer Michele too.
12:12   DktrKranz       He's very active in Italian Community, especially in documentation and support to other users.
12:12   DktrKranz       He started to work with MOTUs too, he did a great job by smashing some PHP 4 unmetdeps bug
12:12   welp    right folks, i'm off to bed... Seveas, don't forget the stuff i said about sacater ;)
12:12   welp    gnight all.
12:12   DktrKranz       Feisty is a better place thanks to his work :)
12:12   mdke    I also can big him up, I've worked with him in the -it community and he is a good Ubuntero; we made him an irc op and he is doing good work on documentation with translations. He is patient and has a good attitude to open source, he doesn't get discouraged
12:12   sacater bye welp
12:13   Burgundavia     +1 from me, given three strong recommendations and a pretty good track record of work
12:13   Seveas  mdke, I assume that's also a +1 from you :)
12:13   mdke    yeah

12:14   Seveas  elmo, ?
12:14   dholbach        DarkSun88: do you have any plans for MOTU? anything you'd like to work on?

12:15   dholbach        DarkSun88: great - thanks a lot
12:15   mdke    I'm going to duck out soon
12:15   bdmurray        Hello!  I work for Canonical as a Quality Assurance Engineer. My areas of responsibility include managing the Ubuntu QA team, keeping an eye out for important bugs and creating methods for triaging and reporting bugs more effectively. As such I've triaged more than a thousand bugs (my best lowball guess).  My wiki page is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BrianMurray .
12:16   DarkSun88       Thanks :D
12:16   DarkSun88       DktrKranz: Thanks a lot
12:16   DarkSun88       mdke: Thank
12:16   DarkSun88       :D
12:16   keescook        i'm here to cheer bdmurray on; he's been doing great work, and is a very quick learner.
12:16   Seveas  bdmurray, I'm curious, when did you start bugwork? I stopped doing it months ago and got out of touch
12:16   mdke    I've been seriously impressed with the way that bdmurray slotted into the community quickly and smoothly
12:16   bdmurray        Seveas: mid December
12:17   Burgundavia     I can echo mdke's words
12:17   mdke    the guy rocks
12:17   Seveas  He's a lousy poker player though ;)
12:17   ajmitch he's also been very encouraging of other community members doing bug work
12:17   mdke    oh, hang on then
12:17   Mithrandir      bdmurray has done a fantastic job on the 7.04 release and it would have been significantly worse if it wasn't for his efforts.
12:17   ajmitch Seveas: can you hold that against him though?
12:17   Seveas  ajmitch, not really
=== mdke rubs out his +1 on grounds of poker
12:18   elmo    +1
12:18   Seveas  one down, 5 to go
12:18   mdke    me too
12:18   dholbach        having worked with bdmurray directly, +1 from me too
12:18   MikeB-  +1
12:18   mdke    pleasure to have you with us bdmurray
12:18   bdmurray        thanks everyone
12:18   Seveas  sabdfl_, Burgundavia ?
12:18   Burgundavia     +1 from me
12:19   imbrandon       forget poker , how about mao
12:19   mdke    ok, I'm off. Apologies to other candidates

12:20   OgMaciel        good luck effie_jayx :)
12:20   effie_jayx      acher and I am hopong I can bridge my to Passions one day. I am a student of Computer Engineering. and Love programming. my wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EfrainValles.
12:20   Seveas  We still have quorum, with the other 5 (so I hope sabdfl actually returns)
12:20   Seveas  <nixternal> effie_jayx rocks out a lot of marketing stuff and does way more than I do with Marketing
12:21   elkbuntu        Efrain definatly gets my vote. He's enthusiastic, capable and most of all, he's an excellent team player. He is one of the main reasons the venezuelan LoCo rocks as much as they do.
12:22   effie_jayx      elkbuntu,  :)
12:22   dholbach        effie_jayx: you want to become a MOTU: did you get in touch with any MOTUs already? is there anything you'd like to work on specifically?
12:22   effie_jayx      dholbach,  I have tried... have started doing some bug triaging... but that was probably a month ago
12:23   Burgundavia     effie_jayx: why do you say you translating outside the official teams?
12:23   effie_jayx      Burgundavia,  I just wanted to say I make suggestions for the team
12:23   Burgundavia     right
12:23   effie_jayx      Burgundavia,  I am not an approved translator... I did join the team
12:23   effie_jayx      but the approval is hard :S
12:23   Burgundavia     ahh
12:23   JanC    effie_jayx: you asked that question about sponsoring by companies in the locoteams channel ?
12:24   effie_jayx      JanC,  yes I did. I just wanted to gt a wider scope on sponsorship.
12:24   dholbach        effie_jayx: it'd be nice to have you join the team - please let me know how that goes
12:24   JanC    right, so I know you thought about it carefully and asked other people for their opinion  :)
12:25   elkbuntu        back in december, effie_jayx almost single-handedly reunited the venezuelan team with the rest of the ubuntu community
12:25   effie_jayx      JanC,  I did... when in doubt consult others...
=== WRATHCHILD cheers up effie_jayx !!!
12:25   effie_jayx      elkbuntu,  it was your inspirational talk :D
12:26   elkbuntu        :)
12:26   effie_jayx      I became very involved in the community stuff because of UbuntuOpen Week
12:26   Seveas  elkbuntu, ftw :)
12:27   elkbuntu        Seveas, effie_jayx ftw ;)
12:27   Seveas  both

12:28   effie_jayx      dholbach,  you bet :D
12:28   Seveas  welcome aboard effie_jayx !

12:29   effie_jayx      thanks you all
12:29   Seveas  sacater, you're up
12:29   sacater Hi, my name is Sam Cater, Im 14 years old and from the UK. Ive been
12:29   sacater using Ubuntu for about a year now.
12:29   sacater I mostly do Launchpad Q+A and help in IRC when I can, I can also do
12:29   sacater basic packaging and bug work.

12:29   sacater Seveas: dont forget to paste what welp said
12:29   Seveas  * ScottK has to go in a few moments.  I'd like to speak in favor of membership for sacater when the time comes.  He is clearly very enthusiastic and committed to Ubuntu.  My only suggestion would actually be to dial back his enthusiasm a bit as his interest in helping sometimes exceeds his experience, but that will come in time.  I think he would make a good addition to Ubuntu members.
12:29   Seveas  <welp> (as i'm sure you can tell from my hostmask, i'm a gentoo developer). i was the one who introduced him to linux, and i'm always pleasantly surprised at how much he can learn in a short amount of time... he's a good guy.
12:29   Seveas  don't worry sacater :)
12:30   sacater Seveas: theres more from welp
12:30   sacater oh
12:30   sacater wait
12:30   sacater scratch that :P
12:30   Seveas  :)
12:30   sacater carry on :D
12:30   imbrandon       I also would like to vouch for sacater he is a quick study in -motu and often is eager to help point people in the right direction
12:30   JanC    sacater: you mean where he said you should get some sleep?  :P
12:30   Burgundavia     ok, now I feel old
12:30   sacater welp:  well, i dunno what he does in ubuntuland, all i can really say is that he's a fast learner, really
12:31   sacater              willing, knows how to look for information, that kinda stuff :)
12:31   Seveas  Burgundavia, he's not just younger, he also seems to have an infinte amount of energy :)
12:31   sacater JanC: i havnt slept in 38 hours
12:31   sacater :P
12:31   sacater i have proof but thats for another time :P
=== elkbuntu hands Burgundavia a walking stick
12:31   imbrandon       Burgundavia, haha me 3
12:31   JanC    sacater: sleep is good for the quality of your work
12:32   sacater JanC: :D
12:32   JanC    sacater: i'm serious
12:32   AndyP   not to mention your health :)
12:32   sacater JanC: like Seveas said, I have plenty of health
12:32   sacater energy*
12:32   sabdfl_ sacater, i've heard good things about your contributions
12:32   sacater dont worry, im sleeping properly tonight
12:32   sacater sabdfl_: :D
12:32   sabdfl_ what is it that you think you bring to Ubuntu, and what is it that you think Ubuntu can bring to others?
12:33   sacater I bring help to those who need or request it, and ubuntu brings friendship and community to others
12:34   sacater pochu: vouch me please
12:34   sacater pochu: membership application is right now :o
=== sacater nods
12:35   dholbach        sacater: impressive work on the answers tracker - you're involved in the cubuntu team (I didn't know it even exists), how's work going on there?
12:35   sacater dholbach: i havnt noticed that much activity personally, but yes, its a command-line deriritive
12:35   sacater hope I spelt that right
12:35   Burgundavia     derivative, actually, but we will forgive you for it :)
12:36   pochu   I can confirm sacater has been helping new users, and triaging some bugs :)
12:36   cypherbios      :)
12:36   sacater whoot!
12:36   Burgundavia     impressive karma
12:36   sacater thanks
12:36   Burgundavia     LaserJock: I notice he mentions you on his wiki page
12:37   elmo    hmm, sacater is this you're second time around?
12:37   sacater yes
12:37   sacater first time I was told to give it a month or 2 more
12:37   sacater to prove i wasnt grab and run
12:38   sacater 'get the membership and do nothing'
12:38   elmo    heh - when was that?

12:40   AndyP   sacater: congrats
12:40   sfair   so, let's go. My name is Rafael Sfair and I'm one of the administrators of the Ubuntu Brazilian Documentation team.
12:40   sacater AndyP: ty
12:40   sfair   Most of my work is helping to organize the team and creating new documentation.
12:40   sfair   You can find a list of some contribuitions in my wikipage (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RafaelSfair) and my LP page (https://launchpad.net/~sfair), and some contributions maybe can't be directly measured :)
12:42   OgMaciel        my testimonial pretty much says everything I wanted to say in support for sfair
12:42   Seveas  I'm impressed with sfairs wikipage, good work!
12:42   sfair   thanks to cypherbios that helped me :)
12:42   cypherbios      I gave my testimonial in this wikipage, but here is a bit more:
12:42   cypherbios      Sfair is one of the greatest contributors of the Ubuntu-BR community. Hi works hard on our documentation team (ubuntu-br-doc) and is also a Official translator for pt_BR. Always helps people who wants to contribute pointing them to the right path, if there's someone who I support would be sfair (as well  n3t0 too ;) ). His advocate in the Ubuntu Brazilian community is something amazing to see. I completely agree and support sfair's m
12:42   cypherbios      embership.
12:44   Burgundavia     I see some solid contributions and good testimonials
12:44   sabdfl_ sfair: we love physicists round here :-)
12:44   sabdfl_ +1 from me on the back of strong recommendations from team-BR
12:45   sfair   sabdfl_: are there more?? im not th only one? im so happy! :D
12:45   cypherbios      a very very geeky guy, indeed !
12:45   Burgundavia     +1 from me
12:45   sabdfl_ sfair: would you see if you can get in touch with the guys who build Scientific Linux?
12:45   sabdfl_ i think they are from Fermilab
12:45   MikeB-  +1 here
12:45   sabdfl_ i'd like to meet them
12:45   sabdfl_ see if they would do a version based on Ubuntu too

12:46   Seveas  n3t0, you're up now
12:46   cypherbios      congrats sfair!!
12:46   OgMaciel        sfair does all of his research on Ubuntu, isn't that right sfair?
12:46   sfair   OgMaciel: yes... all my work
12:46   n3t0    My name is Alysson Neto and I'm  one of the administrators of the Brazilian Ubuntu Forum, also I'm a member of the Ubuntu Brazilian Doc Team
12:46   n3t0    where I have the function to find material tu put in the wiki. You can find a list of some contribuitions in wiki wikipage (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AlyssonNeto) and my LP page (https://launchpad.net/~alysson-neto)
12:46   kalon33 congrats sfair
12:47   OgMaciel        n3t0: could you paste some stats about the volume (network) traffic the forum currently generates?
12:48   n3t0    11819 members
12:48   Burgundavia     I might add: I love the recommendations stuff the Brazillian people are putting on their pages
12:48   n3t0    108080 posts
12:48   Burgundavia     it makes it a lot easier to make decisions
12:48   n3t0    19258 topics
12:48   Burgundavia     other loco teams might want to take note
12:48   cypherbios      Burgundavia: thanks, we do our best in all :)
12:49   FaBMak  n3t0 is a co-worker and a friend in Ubuntu-BR Forum, together we do improvements and support it. I can say that he really like Ubuntu and our community.
12:49   OgMaciel        the Brazilian Forum (and other portuguese languages)  has a rock solid team of administrators/moderators and n3t0 is doing an amazing job with the limited support they have
12:49   cypherbios      n3t0 is one of the guys responsible to keep our *huge* ubuntu forum for portuguese speakers (include people from brazil, portugal and many others countries who speaks PT). His works is awesome in the forum administration, such as posting moderation as well system administration related stuff. I agree and support his membership.
12:49   Seveas  impressive, how many brazilian ubuntu members do we have now?
12:49   sfair   and n3t0 in and important link betweek the ubuntu-br-doc and forum
12:49   OgMaciel        Seveas: approx. 15?
12:49   sabdfl_ hmm... i wonder if we should not have a team in .BR where we delegate membership for local advocacy, translation, infrastructure work
12:49   cypherbios      Seveas: 15
12:50   Seveas  OgMaciel, I thought there would be more, but 15 already is a lot :)
12:50   OgMaciel        sabdfl_: we've been thinking along the same lines here too
12:50   cypherbios      most likely in the next meeting Ubuntu-BR LoCo will be around here ;)
12:50   OgMaciel        Seveas: we prefer that our users spend some time doing work before we point them to the CC
12:51   Seveas  are we ready to vote or are there still questions?
12:51   Burgundavia     not from me

12:53   Seveas  profoX`, then you're up
12:53   profoX` euhm okay :)
12:53   profoX` Good night everyone (or possibly evening for some of you). I am Wesley Stessens (profoX) and I became a very active Ubuntu user and supporter in the last few years. I am very active in the NL and BE locoteams. I help to maintain the Dutch website and forum. I translate USN's to Dutch. I try to get involved with the rest of the community as much as I can.. Occasionally I travel far to be able to represent Ubuntu in Belgium and The
12:53   profoX` Netherlands. But I also try to do other things. I am chipping in everywhere I can. Marketing (ubuntu shirts for BE, ubuntu-nl magazine), Support (forums, IRC), Moderation (website, forums), Advocacy (everywhere), Programming, Packaging... You can read the wikipage for a more thorough description of all my activities in (and related to) Ubuntu; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WesleyStessens
12:54   tritium Seveas: I came on his behalf
12:54   dholbach        Seveas: didn't he mail and said that he can't make it, and tritium would speak for him?
12:54   Seveas  dholbach, maybe he mailed to community-council@, I don't get that mail
12:54   dholbach        Seveas: he CCed you :-)
12:54   Seveas  besides, we've never done 'speaking on behalf' and I don't see a rason to make an exception
12:55   dholbach        right, ok
12:55   dholbach        that's fine with me
12:55   tritium I'll pass that along to him.
12:55   dholbach        thanks tritium
12:55   tritium Thanks, dholbach.
12:55   Seveas  dholbach, odd, I don't see mail from him
12:56   Burgundavia     Seveas: I can confirm that you were cc'ed
12:56   tritium Was he given any form of reply?
=== tritium was not copied on anything
12:56   Burgundavia     not that I see
12:56   Seveas  Burgundavia, can you pm me the from address? I'll grep through amavis' quarantine
12:57   dholbach        ahhhh dennis@ubuntu.com vs seveas@ubuntu.com
12:57   Seveas  dholbach, heh
12:57   Seveas  indeed seveas@ does not exist, although some people seem to think it does :)
12:57   Burgundavia     be nice if LP could do aliases liek that
12:57   Seveas  anyway, back to the subject of profoX`
12:57   Burgundavia     sabdfl_: ^
12:58   Seveas  I want to cheer for him, he's doing massive amountsof work on the dutch forums, and other parts of the dutch locoteam
12:58   JanC    I've seen profoX` being active on the ubuntu-nl forums & IRC too
12:58   AndyP   good work on the wiki page, impressive stuff
12:58   elmo    +1
=== ablomen chears for profoX` too
12:58   ablomen *cheers
12:58   Burgundavia     +1 based on that
12:59   dholbach        +1 from me too
12:59   MikeB-  +1
12:59   JanC    and he has a nice blog in Dutch that explains things in a readable way
12:59   JanC    :)
12:59   dholbach        with that, I have too leave now
12:59   Seveas  dholbach, ok, goodnight!
12:59   dholbach        have a nice evening everybody and see you tomorrow
12:59   sabdfl_ awesome wiki page
12:59   sabdfl_ +1 from me!
12:59   Seveas  nice
12:59   Seveas  good job profoX` !
12:59   kalon33 good night dholbach
12:59   sabdfl_ night dholbach
12:59   profoX` yea.. I did my homework :)
12:59   Burgundavia     do we still have quorum?
01:00   Seveas  And this unfortunately ends todays meting as we now no longer have quorum :(
01:00   kalon33 I have to mail you about telepathy stuff soon...
01:00   sabdfl_ for members, yes
01:00   Seveas  sabdfl_, no, we're now 4 of 8, we need 5 according to what we agreed on earlier :)
01:00   JanC    (too many Dutch/Flemish people blog in English)
01:00   MikeB-  I have to leave in 15 minute, my wife teach tonight and I have to pick up my son
01:00   sabdfl_ for members? i think 3/4 is fine
01:01   sabdfl_ if there's a controversial decision, we can set tighter guidelines
01:01   sabdfl_ but i don't think we should block memebrships on high quorum
01:01   sabdfl_ in fact, i think we should delegate more
01:01   sabdfl_ any objections?
01:01   tritium Seveas: could someone give yarddog a reply please?
01:02   Seveas  tritium, I will
01:02   tritium Thank you.
01:02   JanC    profoX`: it seems like you forgot to mention you wrote some patches for beryl too   ;)
01:02   Seveas  No objections yet, so let's continu with memberships
01:02   profoX` JanC: yes but that was no big deal.. just small bugfixes and very small enhancements
01:02   sabdfl_ ok, we have 4 to go
01:02   Burgundavia     4 if it is unanimous?
01:02   Seveas  pleia2, you're next on the list

01:13   Brunellus       thanks everyone!
01:13   MikeB-  yarddog your wiki is kinda thin, what is your launchpad
01:13   Seveas  sabdfl_, scroll up :)
01:13   sacater sabdfl_: pm
01:13   yarddog MikeB-: http://launchpad.net/~jamesbunnell
01:14   Brunellus       Thanks everybody!  I'll get my key signed soon enough.  I'm off to catch a train.
01:15   MikeB-  yarddog: you are off to a good start, but I think you are not quite ready,
01:15   sabdfl_ yarddog: agree with MikeB- on that front, the documentation in wiki and LP is thinner than your number of fans would suggest
01:16   MikeB-  are you invloved in other Ubuntu areas
01:16   yarddog ive begun getting involved in kubuntu as well
01:16   sabdfl_ it may well be that there's more to the story, but it's not documented there
01:16   sabdfl_ could you spend some time on your profile in the project, then come back?
01:16   sabdfl_ there's no rush
01:18   MikeB-  yarddog: expand your profile and come back, we would love to see you apply again
01:18   yarddog ok
01:18   sabdfl_ thanks for taking the time to come now, though
01:18   sabdfl_ ok
01:18   Seveas  last one
01:18   sabdfl_ final stop?
01:18   Seveas  Toxicity999,
01:18   hidan   go go toxicity!!! :D
01:19   Toxicity999     Okay then! First, way sorry for holding up the meeting. And some people who I had asked to come help me out with some words of love couldn't make it, but moving on to the goodies!
01:19   cypherbios      toxicity, like SOAD. cool! :)
01:19   Toxicity999     Lol
01:19   Toxicity999     Yes.
01:19   Toxicity999     https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BryanHaskins
01:19   Toxicity999     Hi, I'm Bryan, I'm 16 years old and I live in Maine, the Canada of the States, and I've been working, as a user, with Ubuntu Since late in the release of hoary (Basically just before breezy) And I have made my mark in the community support sector. I hover the forums answering support needs with a lot of my free time, and even cover lead on the Launchpad (Ubuntu Answers) bit of The Forums Beginners Team. I spend a lot of my time doing
01:19   Toxicity999     the little things, like walking people through large issues more directly via irc.
01:20   sabdfl_ that's awesome
01:21   Toxicity999     And if you wonder why my Launchpad doesn't exactly reflect my claim to the Beginners team thing, basically we haven't 100% organized the Launchpad end yet. But you can see I lead the LP team on my account there. :D
01:22   MikeB-  Toxicity999 does good work on the forums
01:23   MikeB-  any other feedback for Toxicity999
01:23   sabdfl_ Toxicity999: are you a forums moderator or staff member?
=== Toxicity999 coughs.
01:23   Toxicity999     No, not currently.
01:24   sabdfl_ ok
01:24   sabdfl_ it seems you are helping in a very nice way
01:24   MikeB-  sabdfl_: he is on a couple of our teams, not a moderator/staff
01:24   Seveas  MikeB-, do something about that kthxbye ;)
01:24   sabdfl_ Toxicity999: what's your main reason for wanting to become a member?
01:25   MikeB-  I do have to go
01:25   Seveas  MikeB-, can we rcord a vote on Toxicity999 ?
01:25   Toxicity999     Well, I think that there is a certain level of trust which comes with it. I mean sure, it feels nice for me, some kind of accomplishment, but It seems as though users put more faith in you when they notice you.
01:26   MikeB-  I think Toxicity999 is off to a good start, but I would like to see more
01:26   Toxicity999     A lot of what I do is just really hard to tally, I think.
01:26   DBO     I know its a little late, but woo woo Toxicity999 =)
01:27   Toxicity999     I've been way more active on IRC lately. Whcih without scouring the logs and such kind of hard to quantify.
01:27   hidan   oh good to go toxicity
01:27   Toxicity999     This is a really awkward silence =D
01:27   MikeB-  Toxicity999: I say keep up the good work and come back in a couple of month
01:28   hidan   awwww toxic... hmm.
01:28   MikeB-  PM me in the forums and we can work on quanify your work in th wiki
01:28   MikeB-  Mike in the forums
01:28   MikeB-  later all
01:28   MikeB-  I must get
01:29   Toxicity999     Alright, I think it might of worked out if more of the people I was hoping to show up would have =S they were all busy tonight.
01:29   sabdfl_ sorry
01:29   Seveas  ok, so that concludes todays meeting (now we really have no quorum).
01:29   sabdfl_ wrapping up for the night here
01:29   hidan   huh
01:29   sabdfl_ you're in good shape Toxicity999, but not there yet

01:29   sabdfl_ heh. whenever WE want :-)
=== sacater listens
01:30   sabdfl_ perhaps something early UTC, for the Asian side of the world?
01:30   Toxicity999     Well now it just has to be when it's inconvenient for the ditchers, hehe.
01:30   Seveas  june 13, 09:00 UTC?

01:31   Seveas  yeah, will do

01:32   sabdfl_ aaahm

01:33   hidan   sabdfl = mark, right? O_o;; wow... but thanks for establishing canonical, mark.
01:33   sabdfl_ don't block on me, my travel schedule is a nightmare in the next 3 months
