  <jtatum> [TOPIC] Leadership options/elections

Leadership options/elections

• <jtatum> Well, this is jledbetter's items but essentially the gist is that there weren't any nominees for leadership of the Virginia team

  <lexvegas> I don't think that will work out

  <jtatum> We made a bunch of plans for how to handle elections and changing various team settings but none of it really came in to play

  <dasnipa|arpy> party

  <jledbetter> jtatum, Yep, sorry.

  <Jagged> evenin

  <lexvegas> Hey!

  <jledbetter> Howdy

  <jtatum> Great, hi everyone!

  <Jagged> We're all just 10 minutes behind

  <jledbetter> So, what do we do with no nominees? We can continue with some admins, try another round of nomination/elections, or ....?

• Jagged nominates jledbetter

  <lexvegas> I second that, Jagged

  <jtatum> The open source way: sounds like someone's getting voluntold

  <jledbetter> lol

  <jledbetter> For how long?

  <Jagged> <sandlot>for...ev...er!</sandlot>

  <lexvegas> I know the reason I didn't nominate in the first round was that I felt that I didnt know who wanted to be elected/who would be a good choice, and im wondering if that was the cause for no nominations

  <jledbetter> lexvegas, Could be.

  <jledbetter> Jagged, Good movie, but heck no.

  <jtatum> How about 1 year

  <jledbetter> Ok. Much better than forever.

  <lexvegas> Maybe 1a bit less, so we could have elections in January, the OCD in me would like that.

  <Jagged> How about after holiday craziness

  <jledbetter> Jagged, Is that January?

  <lexvegas> yeah, i didnt think about that aspect of it.

  <jtatum> Interesting Sounds like we have consensus on a candidate, but not a duration.

  <jledbetter> Options 4/4/2011 - 1/1/2011 or 4/4/2011 - 4/4/2012. I'm more a cycle person so would sync it up with the releases of Ubuntu personally.

  <jtatum> which would make 4-4 a good choice

  <lexvegas> jtatum: I like lining it up with the releases

  <jledbetter> Ok, let's make the bot do some work. Well, let's see if it does it. I'll do two options. +1 the one you dig.

  <jtatum> I started the meeting so i have to & hm

  <jledbetter> VOTE Term is 4/4/2011 - 12.04 (April 2012 release)

  <jledbetter> oh, copy past then? Or maybe it's [blah]

  <jtatum> [VOTE] Term is 4/4/2011 - 12.04 (April 2012 release)

• <jtatum> +1

  <jledbetter> +1

  <lexvegas> +1

  <Jagged> +1

  <jtatum> [ENDVOTE]

• <jledbetter> And the other option was 4/4/2011 - 1/1/2011

  <jtatum> [VOTE] Term is 4/4/2011 - 1/1/2012

• <jtatum> +0

  <dasnipa|arpy> +0

  <lexvegas> +0

  <jledbetter> +0

  <Jagged> If everyone abstains...

  <jtatum> Then the other choice wins

  <Jagged> I guess

  <Jagged> +0

  <jtatum> [ENDVOTE]

• <jtatum> [AGREED] Leadership term shall be until 12.04 release

• <jledbetter> Any other nominations from the floor?

  <jtatum> I'm not an expert in this, but if there's only one nominee, do we still hold an election?

  <jtatum> Or& grats jledbetter

  <dasnipa|arpy> i notimate jledbetter's kitty kat

  <jledbetter> Depends on if you're following Robert's Rules, etc.

  <jledbetter> dasnipa|arpy, He said "no"

  <jledbetter> Right-o. No other nominations, and we're not Robert's Rules types overall so grats me. Raar.

  <jledbetter> Thank you, everyone

  <jtatum> grats jledbetter

  <lexvegas> congrats!

  <jledbetter> [TOPIC] Global Jam/Release Party

  <jledbetter> jtatum, Now you do it

  <jtatum> [TOPIC] Global Jam/Release Party

Global Jam/Release Party

• <jledbetter> Thanks

  <jledbetter> Did anyone attend or have a global jam?

  <jtatum> I wish. Couldn't make it. It was just a bad weekend for me

  <lexvegas> I had to play my car-less student card

  <jtatum> There were a couple of online things, weren't there? I saw something on Friday. There's no way I could have done that

  <lexvegas> didn't see anything about that. :/ oh well

  <jledbetter> Not sure if there were. I just know of the ones that were in person.

  <jtatum> um& were there any in Virginia?

  <jledbetter> Not that I know of. I thought about it but the timing stunk for me too.

  <jledbetter> Well, there's next cycle so probably August-ish.

  <jtatum> I see why this is called global jam/release party. We're going to take the lesson learned of having no global jam and moving forward, plan something for a release party, right?

  <jledbetter> jtatum, Exactly!

  <jledbetter> Though I will be the first to admit that planning something in person is not always the easiest for me Y'know. So uh. Anyone doing a release party?

  <jtatum> well, considering that we're basically all spread out, maybe we should do it online

  <jtatum> like, synchronize beer!

  <jtatum> now everyone eat a bit of cake!

  <jledbetter> +1

  <jtatum> or pie if that's your custom

  <jtatum> I think I pitched this before and the idea was pretty hated, and it's possibly terrible.

  <jledbetter> Well, I'll probably be online anyway. Looks like it's April 21-May 5 timeframe. End of the semester and such. Hard.

  <jledbetter> Well, let me check some stuff and maybe I'll have a small gathering near May 1. I'll let the list know of course if anyone's in town (Southeast Virginia)

  <jledbetter> Before we close out the meeting, was there anything else anyone needed to bring up for discussion?

  <jledbetter> Alright, then thank you all for coming and voting for me! I hope I do ya proud.
