  <Daviey> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2010-April/023790.html

  <Daviey> Essentially, it's a call for people to add anything they have achieved in April

  <Daviey> (or the LoCo)

  <Daviey> I'm going to poke a few people that i know have achieved stuff

  <Daviey> if people present could do that also, it would be grand

  <Daviey> no action from here.

  <brobostigon> she was talking about it in #ubuntu-uk not long ago.

• <daubers> Ok, next

  <daubers> [PROGRESS REPORT] daubers to put support guidelines in a wiki page prior to next meeting

daubers to put support guidelines in a wiki page prior to next meeting

• <daubers> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/Support_Guidelines

  <brobostigon>

  <brobostigon> iam happy with it, right now.

  <daubers> I've popped these on the wiki now, and (think) I dropped an email to the list.

  <daubers> I'll go further into this in a second

  <daubers> since thats the end of the last meetings actions

  <daubers> [TOPIC] Daubers - Support Guidelines

Daubers - Support Guidelines

• <brobostigon> Do we need to do a review of those proposedguidelines?

  <daubers> As I said these are now on the wiki, an I believe I emailed the mailing list. Do people want time to review them further and me to push them a bit more, or how would people like to proceed?

  <brobostigon> i would like to be able to review them, please.

  <AlanBell> would be good to share them about at UDS

  <daubers> Ok, are there any major failings in the proposed guidelines?

  <brobostigon> daubers: not that i can immediatly remember, no.

  <daubers> AlanBell: Would you be happy to do that? I'm not going

  <daubers> Work, money and stuff are in the way

  <AlanBell> I see no failures, but they can probably be expanded on over time

  <AlanBell> yes I can try and talk to other teams about them at UDS

  <brobostigon> I would be happier with review before proper adoption.

  <daubers> Awesome, if anyone thinks it would help, I'm happy to do a session at oggcamp

  <brobostigon> and good scruteny.

  <Yorvyk> I think they need to bee used to see if they work

  <AlanBell> an oggcamp session would be great

  <daubers> So, if I do an oggcamp session and write up some bits, are we happy to do a trial implimentation as of next week and then a review afterwards?

  <AlanBell> I am

  <daubers> See if I can organise a meeting dedicated to that topic

  <daubers> [ACTION] Daubers to write a tal for Oggcamp on the proposed support guidelines

• <daubers> Do we want to vote on a trial implimentation?

  <brobostigon> ok.

  <AlanBell> ok

  <brobostigon> after review,yes.

  <The_Toxic_Mite> ok

  <brobostigon> not before.

  <daubers> brobostigon: Not sure there's a lot to review initially. They're set out fairly plainly in the wiki page. There will be a lot of wiggle room in the trial as well

  <BigRedS_> I'd suggest a trial to find out what needs adding. I've had a skim and there appears to be vagueness rather than anything likely disagreeable

  <brobostigon> daubers: i mean, for any big issues, thats all, or any possible additions or changes.

  <daubers> brobostigon: I think a trial would be best to hilight that (personally)

  <daubers> If it all fails during the trial then obviously it'll get pulled and discussed further

  <brobostigon> daubers: true, but a "not firm trial" rather thandefinate firm trial.

  <daubers> Yes, as I said, wit a lot of wiggle room

  <brobostigon> ok,

  <AlanBell> more of a beta than a release candidate

  <brobostigon> i am happy.

  <daubers> [VOTE] Should we have a beta trial of the support guidelines, followed by a meeting to review them?
