 110 [11:18:20] <nisshh> phillw, ?
 111 [11:18:23] <phillw> nisshh: we are recruiting council members, that way there should always be enough around for meetings.
 112 [11:18:35] <hakimsheriff> i want to be 1
 113 [11:18:35] <nisshh> ok
 114 [11:18:54] <nisshh> hakimsheriff, we offer, not the other way around :)
 115 [11:19:19] <hakimsheriff> okay, sorry
 116 [11:19:20] <nisshh> ok, do we have any other new members that need voting on?
 117 [11:19:22] <phillw> they must have signed the CoC and have a wiki page for them to be considered.
 118 [11:20:00] <arch_is_awesome> I have seen Zach's wiki page, I am not so sure I can write that much about myself
 119 [11:20:14] <serfus> arch_is_awesome, i will help you, don't worry :)
 120 [11:20:18] <nisshh> arch_is_awesome, it doesnt need to be that extensive
 121 [11:20:31] <nisshh> ok, moving along
 122 [11:20:34] <Mkaysi> arch_is_awesome: My wikipage is better example. It's so small. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/mkaysi
 123 [11:20:41] * pedro3005 appears
 124 [11:20:46] <arch_is_awesome> I'll take a look,
 125 [11:20:56] <nisshh> [TOPIC]Slightly New Team Process/Ideas
 126 [11:21:00] <nisshh> ok
 127 [11:21:07] <phillw> arch_is_awesome: you ought to try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw
 128 [11:21:10] <phillw> lol
 129 [11:21:12] <nisshh> so apart from the council recruiting new members
 130 [11:21:24] <nisshh> does anyone have any idea's for the team?
 131 [11:21:54] <arch_is_awesome> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw is quite extensive :)
 132 [11:21:56] <nisshh> Mkaysi, arch_is_awesome, phillw, serfus, ?
 133 [11:22:02] <hakimsheriff> helping people getting more involved with ubuntu teams
 134 [11:22:03] <serfus> i know about the mentoring plan, tough not enough
 135 [11:22:12] <nisshh> yes
 136 [11:22:15] <MH0> Oop.. Havent been watching
 137 [11:22:21] <nisshh> serfus, we must ask zach about that :)
 138 [11:22:24] <pedro3005> well, if I may, I was discussing that in the channel recently. It seems that there's too much attention to the infrastructure of the team (i.e. bureaucracy) and not much attention to actually doing stuff
 139 [11:22:28] <arch_is_awesome> nisshh: Thinking...
 140 [11:22:39] <skfin> I will be away now on, please ping me if you guys need me->
 141 [11:22:56] <arch_is_awesome> pedro3005, I agree, that is what I was about to say... :)
 142 [11:22:59] <nisshh> pedro3005, yes, the mentoring system will change that soon, although ideas are welcome
 143 [11:23:08] <phillw> I'm pretty full with padawans at the moment, I'd like jasono to get involved to further his knowledge.
 144 [11:23:33] <nisshh> thats cool
 145 [11:23:38] <serfus> i just took arch_is_awesome as my "padawan"
 146 [11:23:48] <arch_is_awesome> About the mentoring system, how exactly is that going to work? Email, Jabber, or what?
 147 [11:24:11] <nisshh> arch_is_awesome, tbh, im not sure, its something zkreisse has been working on, i have yet to ask him about it
 148 [11:24:18] <Mkaysi> Email, Jabber or IRC.
 149 [11:24:22] <nisshh> i assume that IRC/email will be used
 150 [11:24:26] <serfus> arch_is_awesome, i will catch you up after the meeting
 151 [11:24:26] <Kaia> Can i be your padawan serfus?
 152 [11:24:27] <arch_is_awesome> query?
 153 [11:24:42] <arch_is_awesome> or in some mentoring channel?
 154 [11:24:50] <arch_is_awesome> (If it is IRC)
 155 [11:24:53] <serfus> not a channel i don't think so
 156 [11:24:54] <nisshh> arch_is_awesome, i would say, just in -youth
 157 [11:24:56] <phillw> arch_is_awesome: I finally nagged the UBT council into submission and bioterror is the 1st mentor (I quickly sold his slave to him :P )
 158 [11:25:22] <nisshh> anyone have anything else to say before we move on?
 159 [11:26:05] <serfus> guess not :P
 160 [11:26:05] <nisshh> ok
 161 [11:26:06] <arch_is_awesome> Yes, the mentoring, what is the plan (meaning how is it going to work)
 162 [11:26:27] <phillw> nisshh: can you post up the UBT link onto your wiki area?
 163 [11:26:31] <nisshh> arch_is_awesome, like i said before, i dont know the details, i will ask zach as soon as i see him though :)
 164 [11:26:44] <nisshh> phillw, what link?
 165 [11:26:46] <arch_is_awesome> Are the metors going to see what the users know and then build on that?
 166 [11:26:52] <arch_is_awesome> nisshh okay
 167 [11:27:01] <serfus> there is no a complete plan
 168 [11:27:02] <serfus> yet
 169 [11:27:10] <arch_is_awesome> Okay, moving on...
 170 [11:27:32] <nisshh> arch_is_awesome, basically, as most mentoring systems work, each mentor will be assigned one or more mentee's and then they can sort of guide them
 171 [11:27:36] <nisshh> thats all i know
 172 [11:27:48] <nisshh> righto
 173 [11:27:50] <arch_is_awesome> Okay then, that is enough.
 174 [11:28:09] <nisshh> [TOPIC]Any concerns, questions, or ideas? Please, bring them up!
 175 [11:28:20] <nisshh> ok, if anyone has any questions, go ahead
 176 [11:28:20] <MH0> nisshh: Right
 177 [11:28:21] <Mkaysi> I know that padawans are called as slaves, but they are only joking (but I think that they aren't).
 178 [11:28:31] <MH0> I want to say something
 179 [11:28:37] <nisshh> MH0, go ahead
 180 [11:28:47] <phillw> nisshh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/
 181 [11:28:56] <nisshh> phillw, what about it?
 182 [11:29:05] <MH0> Earlier there was a spam attack outside UY, and I think us (the council) needs to defibne what to do as being as some spam links may not be nice to see
 183 [11:29:38] <MH0> We need to think of a policy to deine such a thing
 184 [11:29:48] <arch_is_awesome> I agree
 185 [11:29:49] <MH0> I think AndrewMC, had one, thoguh
 186 [11:29:55] <nisshh> but if this attack happened in channels outside of the youth teams, i dont see it as our issue?
 187 [11:29:56] <Mkaysi> MH0: evilMichealH +1 supybot with badwords (with URLs) +2
 188 [11:30:05] <nisshh> zkriesse, hey
 189 [11:30:09] <nisshh> you late
 190 [11:30:12] <nisshh> your*
 191 [11:30:12] <zkriesse> I know
 192 [11:30:17] <zkriesse> Internet troubles
 193 [11:30:19] <nisshh> zkriesse, we are on the last topic :)
 194 [11:30:23] <Mkaysi> nisshh: #ubuntu-stack was attacked by spamming.
 195 [11:30:40] <zkriesse> nisshh: Who's chairing
 196 [11:30:41] <MH0> zkriesse: Can you +Vv arch_is_awesome In UY
 197 [11:30:46] <nisshh> Mkaysi, right, which is not our channel, so i fail to see what it has to do with us
 198 [11:30:48] <MH0> zkriesse: nisshh
 199 [11:30:52] <phillw> MH0: there has been a discussion on the doc email list about spam attacks, the best way is for those who know wiki to subscribe to the pages, that way they get alerted for every change and can see the changes.
 200 [11:30:54] <Kaia> hey zkriesse
 201 [11:30:57] <serfus> i don't think we should involve bans with other channels
 202 [11:31:21] <nisshh> agreed
 203 [11:31:24] <MH0> serfus: But spam links may not be very Touth freindly esp. from spambots
 204 [11:31:29] <MH0> *youth
 205 [11:31:44] <nisshh> MH0, we only need to moderate spam in the youth channels
 206 [11:31:48] <arch_is_awesome> agreed
 207 [11:31:50] <phillw> MH0: there are so many of us admin to go around!
 208 [11:31:59] <Mkaysi> If spambots are attacking #ubuntu-stack why they couldn't attack #ubuntu-youth ?
 209 [11:32:02] <serfus> sure, but we have no sign that he will attack our channel
 210 [11:32:04] <nisshh> outside of that, its not something the youth team can really control
 211 [11:32:13] <zkriesse> They haven't, it's not our channel, if they do we'll do something
 212 [11:32:24] <nisshh> exactly
 213 [11:32:28] <MH0> Okies
 214 [11:32:29] <zkriesse> But until they do we have our own channel to maintain...plus we haven't been ASKED to help that channel
 215 [11:32:32] <MH0> Just a idea :)
 216 [11:32:54] <hakimsheriff> i agree with zkriesse
 217 [11:33:01] <Mkaysi> IDEA: Setup supybot with BadWords and add spam URL:s as badwords.
 218 [11:33:02] <MH0> I was talking about a poliy for spams outside UY to be banned inslide UY incase spambots had bad links
 219 [11:33:33] <nisshh> Mkaysi, we arent putting your bot in -youth, its way too spammy
 220 [11:33:37] <serfus> i too agree with zkriesse and nisshh
 221 [11:33:53] <arch_is_awesome> I agree with serfus
 222 [11:33:59] <nisshh> ok
 223 [11:34:01] <Mkaysi> nisshh: My bot would cause problems, and I am not talking about it.
 224 [11:34:15] <nisshh> heh
 225 [11:34:17] <nisshh> ok
 226 [11:34:23] <nisshh> anyone have any other questions?
 227 [11:34:43] <Mkaysi> nisshh: Ubot4 is supybot? Couldn't it do that? (BadWords is comes by default in supybot)
 228 [11:34:46] <nisshh> zkriesse, im charing btw
 229 [11:34:47] <zkriesse> Ok, while a team opinion is good on such a matter on spambots in other channels, ultimately somthing of that nature would be a council decision
 230 [11:34:53] <nisshh> chairing*
 231 [11:35:02] <zkriesse> nisshh: So i've noticed...I appreciate you taking charge
 232 [11:35:05] <nisshh> Mkaysi, im not familiar with the bots
 233 [11:35:20] <nisshh> zkriesse, yeah, it was either me or serfus really
 234 [11:35:35] <MH0> nisshh: And me? :P

 265 [11:39:54] <zkriesse> MH0: We'll take care of that in UY
 266 [11:40:03] <nisshh> maybe we need a projects page on the wiki zkriesse?
 267 [11:40:07] <MH0> In UYC? Its concerning the Website
 268 [11:40:18] <zkriesse> nisshh: Indeed you're very right on that
 269 [11:40:23] <nisshh> ok
 270 [11:40:44] <zkriesse> nisshh: Topic 3 if you please
 271 [11:40:47] <nisshh> [ACTION] nisshh to setup a project summary page on the wiki
 272 [11:40:51] <nisshh> sure
 273 [11:41:06] <nisshh> [TOPIC]New Membership Process Discussion
 274 [11:41:21] <nisshh> zkriesse, go ahead
 275 [11:41:32] <zkriesse> Ok, due to the UY Council growing in size, we will be having a slightly different membership process
 276 [11:41:56] <MH0> Mentorship at last? :)
 277 [11:42:11] <nisshh> Mkaysi, serfus, arch_is_awesome, you all listening?
 278 [11:42:20] <zkriesse> For a while it was simply, "Apply, check the users lp and wiki page(s) if applicable, and then choose an experienced mentor to lead said applicant"
 279 [11:42:26] <serfus> sure
 280 [11:42:28] <zkriesse> Well, skip last part
 281 [11:42:38] <zkriesse> Just find em, get them a wiki page, they're in
 282 [11:42:47] <nisshh> yep
 283 [11:42:54] <nisshh> so whats changing?
 284 [11:42:59] <hakimsheriff> dats good
 285 [11:43:06] * Mkaysi is listening.
 286 [11:43:25] <zkriesse> But, since we are getting a sizable council, we should be able to find a few more good experienced folks who are willing to help lead/mentor the inexperienced or those who wish to be mentored in a particular subject
 287 [11:43:59] <zkriesse> Not necissarily will it be the Council doing the leading but us and a few others who ask/and are approved to do so
 288 [11:44:22] <zkriesse> That make any sense?
 289 [11:44:24] <serfus> so we will get the mentoring project more sorted out
 290 [11:44:26] <serfus> that's good
 291 [11:44:31] <zkriesse> Yes indeed serfus
 292 [11:44:45] * hakimsheriff agree with zkriesse completly
 293 [11:44:55] <nisshh> zkriesse, i think once the process gets worked out, a mentoring page in the wiki would be good
 294 [11:45:05] <arch_is_awesome> Google just sent a new computer here, I forgot about it.
 295 [11:45:18] <arch_is_awesome> I will come to the next meeting.
 296 [11:45:27] <zkriesse> nisshh: I was gonna work on that..if you'd like to collaborate with me on that and the project page that'd be awesome
 297 [11:45:35] <nisshh> sure
 298 [11:45:37] <arch_is_awesome> Just need to get this to work, curiosity is killing me,
 299 [11:45:54] <serfus> arch_is_awesome, sure, i'll update you
 300 [11:46:05] <nisshh> zkriesse, have anything else to add?
 301 [11:46:06] <zkriesse> arch_is_awesome: Don't worry, there will be logs
 302 [11:46:21] <zkriesse> nisshh: For that topic? Nadah
 303 [11:46:25] <nisshh> ok
 304 [11:46:30] <nisshh> any other topic?
 305 [11:46:37] <zkriesse> And that somewhat merges into topic four so we're good!
 306 [11:46:42] <nisshh> ok
 307 [11:46:50] <zkriesse> If nobody has anything else to add feel free to end the meeting nisshh
