<Seveas> We made a mistake last time
<Seveas> let me get some scrollback, hang on

<Seveas> <Syntux> Seveas, and btw the Americas team did nice thing, they deffer applications for messy wikis and gave them a chance to fix things instead of declining them
<Seveas> phanatic, !
<phanatic> good evening. sorry, i've just arrived at home...
<phanatic> i'll try to catch up
<forumsmatthew> glad you are here!
<forumsmatthew> we just started
<Seveas> I think the americas board did the right thing and retroactively put Syntux on top of the agenda to the position where he was
* sbeattie (n=steve@208-151-246-43.dq1sn.easystreet.com) has joined #ubuntu-meeting
<Seveas> does anyone disagree with this way of handling "messy wikis"? It makes sense to me and the CC used to do this as well
<stgraber> makes sense
<Myrtti> hum
<forumsmatthew> I think it sounds like a very good idea and a kind way to deal with the issue
<Seveas> I want to set one condition: the candidate must have spent some time on the wikipage before the first meeting
<Seveas> so it should not look like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Shezif (one of the current candidates)
<forumsmatthew> agreed on that point
<stgraber> +1
<PriceChild> Sounds like a plan.
<nealmcb> You run the risk of folks not putting as much effort in the first time if there is no consequence - I'd suggest putting such apps at the bottom of the list - that's what happened to me :)
<nealmcb> not that that is much of a consequence....
<forumsmatthew> perhaps we can leave ourselves some leeway on that, and let it depend on how much obvious effort has been put into what is there
<Seveas> nealmcb, the preparation meetings I've done the last two weeks really show how much people have been prepared (or not)
<dsas> Is the list of applicants that big that it really matters?
<Syntux> and I suggest voting +1 for me, else you will have to face me every week on the top on your agenda.
<ompaul> forumsmatthew, you really should have it binary, and defer and then reject if not worked on
<Seveas> dsas, sometimes it is
<Daviey> with weekly meetings, it shouldn;t matter if at the top or bottom imo
<Seveas> dsas, but it's more "rejct vs defer"
<nealmcb> the biggest advantage of a top spot is predictability of when you'll come up
<Seveas> as in "no" or "looking good, but needs some work, come back next time"
* pygi (n=mario@metronet244.zg.metrocarnet.CARNet.hr) has joined #ubuntu-meeting
<Seveas> so, let's start with the candidates. Syntux you're up!
<forumsmatthew> welcome back!
<Seveas> (If anyone objects against me chairing/being secretary, yell!)
<Syntux> Thanks :-)
<popey> deja vu
<popey> OBJECTION!
<forumsmatthew> Seveas, you are doing a good job, and I'm glad to have you do it
<Seveas> popey is now secretary
<popey> eek
<forumsmatthew> lol
<Syntux> Nothing has changed but more photos and certs - enjoy checking my wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Syntux
<popey> objection withdrawn
<Syntux> lol
<forumsmatthew> I have also spent a good amount of time with Syntux this week talking about his accomplishments, etc
<Seveas> I've seen the page already -- it shows more "evidence" than last time and makes me much more comfortable to give a +1
<Syntux> and of course, testimonials (they get free pizza for it)
<Seveas> and matthews mails helped as well
<Seveas> so, +1
* Syntux counting the pluses
<popey> heheh@free pizza
<forumsmatthew> +1
<popey> +1
* osmosis (n=steven@cpe-76-94-193-157.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #ubuntu-meeting
<phanatic> +1
<Syntux> owi
<stgraber> +1
<Syntux> one more?
<Seveas> PriceChild, what's the verdict? Will we see him again next week or is he ok?
* forumsmatthew nudges PriceChild
<PriceChild> +1 :D
<forumsmatthew> mabrook!!

About Me

A 28 years old Middle Eastern Linux extremist with a B.A in political science and law. I’m addicted to programming by decision so I’m not looking for a rehab. I do http://syntux.net/blog blog and http://flickr.com/photos/jad Photograph and in my free time, I’m just a human. Started using Ubuntu since the release of Warty Warthog, Ubuntu solved many of my problems so I'm devoting time to contribute to the community
