The approval results from the 11th October Asia Oceania Membership meeting are as follows:

• Ashickur Rahman (ashickur-noor | ashickur-noor) was asked to come back in a while after being able to show more sustained and significant contributions. Discussions were had in to how he could possible join in on some other projects like translation and LoCos to assist with this development. Support was offered to achieve these goals in the near future.

It was also discussed and agreed upon to move the meetings to monthly. This was so that it lines up with the frequency of other Membership Board meetings. It was noted that if we were getting more applicants and we were unable to get through them in a normal meeting then we could re-instate the twice a month meetings if needed.

• Brainstorm review update: Cycle completed, see Colin's summary

• Recruiting new members for the ARB (Allison)

  • Proposal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppReviewBoard/Restaffing

  • This was discussed and edited to add the requirement that new board members must be Ubuntu developers, i. e. ~ubuntu-dev members. This does not retroactively apply to the already existing members, though.
  • Proposal carried with 3 for, 0 against, 0 abstained.
• Postfix microrelease exception request (Scott K)
  • Upstream has tight requirements for what goes into stable microreleases, QAs them with regression tests, and has a good history of not breaking anything. Known breakage so far was in the packaging.

  • Our QA regression testing repository has an existing integration test script which should be run on the proposed packages for checking for general mis-builds, packaging errors, etc.

  • Team members generally feel good about routinely SRUing microreleases, but want to see an existing successful SRU first. Martin signed up for reviewing that SRU. This will be re-discussed after that.
