Meeting 2013-09-02:
- Chair: Colin Watson

- We agreed to continue this by e-mail rather than reviewing them on
- IRC.
- We agreed to continue this by e-mail rather than reviewing them on
- Technical board restaffing (current memberships expire on 2013-10-06)
- Colin Watson and Matt Zimmerman are retiring from the TB at the end of their terms.
- [ACTION] Martin Pitt will contact Mark Shuttleworth to organise nominations and elections.
Review people in the ~uds-organizers team (Chris Johnston)
- A set of people have been identified as clearly having stale memberships of ~uds-organizers (i.e. they are known to have previously been responsible for UDS tracks, but to now be inactive in Ubuntu or no longer involved in UDS); we will deactivate them straight away. If a mistake has been made then their memberships can of course be restored with apologies if they contact us.
- There is another set we aren't sure about, and we will set a one-month expiry for them to give them a chance to respond.
- For the rest of the team, we will set a regular one-year expiry to try to keep the team's membership fresh in future.
Meeting 2013-09-30:
- Chair: Martin Pitt
- Attendees: Colin Watson, Matt Zimmerman, Kees Cook, Soren Hansen, Stéphane Graber
- Guest: Micah Gersten
- Technical Board elections
- Nominations/elections are running late, we asked SABDFL for extending the current board by a month
- No public call for nominations so far, just some potential candidate recommendations by private mail to SABDFL
- Requiring Core dev membership for TB members (Micah)
- The board strongly recommends that TB members should be Ubuntu Core developers in order to qualify, and will send that recommendation to SABDFL
- However, the board rejects making this a strict requirement, for both practical and formal reasons: the electorate's vote should have the final word on this, an existing TB member (Matt Zimmerman) has voluntarily given up core-dev membership in the interest of privilege minimization, and there are doubts that the TB would even have the power to restrict its own membership rules.
Provisional MRE Request For KDE Telepathy (Scott Kitterman)
- Straightforward extension of the existing KDE MRE, unanimously approved.
- Chair for next meeting: Kees Cook
