Would that person be on rotation (quarterly?) 22:21 althara https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamLeader 22:21 Ashex Allow me to clarify, how would we like to handle the duties as a committe? 22:21 althara For some information on what "a team leader should ..." 22:22 valorie I consider each person who accepts responsibility as a leader 22:22 althara valorie: agreed 22:23 valorie and I hope most of us will accept some responsibilities 22:23 althara +1 22:23 xuCGC002 seems fair enough 22:23 Ashex Agreed 22:24 Ashex How about the speaker? How would we pick that person? Just nomination? 22:24 xuCGC002 we avoid having some sort of unified leader, much like the linux kernel :) 22:24 althara I see the purpose of the committee being to help steer the group to accoplish our short term and long term goals. 22:24 valorie I'm curiious -- what would the duties of the speaker be? 22:25 valorie like a correspondence secretary? 22:25 peanutb send out emails, run committee meetings 22:25 xuCGC002 we can't exactly pick a good speaker over IRC, can we? we can't see their talents as a public speaker 22:25 xuCGC002 oh. :/ 22:25 althara xuCGC002: I don't think it implies that they will be responisble for public speaking 22:25 Ashex Who has experience with public speaking? 22:26 althara Salt does, *ahem* 22:26 peanutb i think thats going to be somewhat minimal considering our demographic 22:26 valorie I have some 22:26 Salt umm 22:26 Salt <_< 22:26 Salt yeah 22:26 Salt i actually do 22:26 Salt and love public speaking 22:26 xuCGC002 i was moreso thinking of, say, giving some sort of speech. but, ok, i guess that works too 22:26 Salt and am taking an advanced course in it this quarter 22:26 valorie but yeah -- people should speak when they have some expertise to share 22:26 xuCGC002 ^^yes^^ 22:27 Ashex I heartily agree with that sentiment 22:27 althara But as "speaker" I think the idea is more a single point of contact 22:27 valorie not necessissarily as our representatives 22:27 valorie woah 22:27 Salt but i'd like to say that i will not have a ton of time to work on this 22:27 Ashex So they should be more a medium of communcation 22:27 Salt i'm here to help things flow but my time's being stretched to edges 22:27 althara Well we were originally discussion the "speaker" as determining who the team contact should be, unless I misunderstood 22:27 Salt so i must decline such a thing 22:28 althara Salt: understood 22:28 peanutb basically, from ubuntu's point of view, they want someone to be their point of contact, and not have to deal with multiple people who dont know whats going on 22:28 Ashex althara: I think we were looking to clarify what their responsibilities would be 22:28 xuCGC002 i think the misunderstanding was on my part, sorry 22:28 valorie I think we are basically discussing the role that Chuck has had? 22:28 valorie up until now 22:29 valorie he's been the contact person 22:29 Salt pretty much 22:29 althara xuCGC002: not a problem. 22:29 Ashex Sounds about right 22:29 Salt so, i'd like to hear what time voids people have that can be filled? 22:29 valorie I think quarterly sounds like way too much work 22:29 Salt like peanutb what are you up to? 22:30 valorie too many places to change that info 22:30 valorie lol 22:30 peanutb umm. classes 22:30 Salt still hs? 22:30 Ashex Ah, good point 22:30 althara I think keeping it as simple as possible for now is good. So designating the speaker as team contact for as long as they are willing to be or as long as they are performing the duty of the team contact. 22:30 peanutb and the FIRST robotics season starts in a week, so im out for this quarter at least 22:30 Ashex I just have work, anything else I can negotiate 22:31 peanutb Salt: Shoreline Community College, through running start 22:31 xuCGC002 i have classes as well, i go back tomorrow 22:31 valorie does Chuck want to continue as contact/speaker? 22:31 Salt so plenty of time hehe 22:31 Salt peanutb, you're in first?!?! 22:31 althara From my emails with him, I beleive he does. 22:31 valorie ok 22:31 valorie how does the group feel about that? 22:31 althara We can verify with him when/if he shows up. 22:31 Ashex Judging from the discussion on the mail list, he wasn't do much as he didn't feel there was a group to work with 22:31 Salt well we are still waiting on chuck to show here 22:31 Salt he said he was on his way 22:31 valorie right 22:32 Ashex But now that we are active again, he is much more motivated to be a speaker 22:32 althara Part of what I wanted to discuss with leadership is if the team contact should also be the leader 22:32 valorie I'm hoping that the leadership is shared 22:32 althara Since that is the past structure, and there may be a better way to go about it 22:33 Ashex I do not think they should be the leader 22:33 valorie right 22:33 Ashex They are more a PR agent 22:33 valorie a single person doing multiple functions like that seems too much 22:33 peanutb I disagree. I think there needs to be a go-to guy for things. To settle disputes etc. 22:33 Ashex Wouldn't the committee be doing that? 22:34 Ashex We can make the committee an odd number so there is always a decision 22:34 valorie sure 22:34 althara I agree with ashex and valorie 22:34 GreySim Likewise. 22:34 valorie peanutb: there should always be a go-to person, I agree 22:34 valorie but it doesn't have to be ONE person 22:34 xuCGC002 but the question remains. who is that person to be? 22:35 peanutb i think it does, otherwise there is confusion from everyone 22:35 valorie for instance, you can have a team of listowners 22:35 Salt i prefer there being a number of people infact since we won't have issues with one person disappearing 22:35 valorie board admins 22:35 althara Salt: +1 22:35 valorie etc 22:35 valorie chanops 22:35 * peanutb likes 22:35 xuCGC002 valorie:yes, that would be nice. 22:36 valorie yay! 22:36 xuCGC002 i owned a small forum for a while 22:36 xuCGC002 oh hey its chuck 22:36 peanutb but there needs to be one person that is the contact for ubuntu and can settle whatever disputes arise 22:36 ChuckWest Sorry, operator error... 22:36 valorie sure 22:36 xuCGC002 board admins are a seperate matter 22:37 xuCGC002 although our goto person could be one 22:37 Ashex um, I ran a club for 2 years and was an advisor to a club for 1? 22:37 althara Hi ChuckWest you can catch up at http://ilbot.colliertech.org/text.pl?channel=ubuntu-us-wa;date=2010-01-03 starting at 22:00 22:37 xuCGC002 scratch that, SHOULD be one 22:37 xuCGC002 yes, you can see our ramblings for the day. :) 22:38 Ashex ChuckWest: http://ilbot.colliertech.org/ubuntu-us-wa/2010-01-03#i_1785 22:38 Ashex If you give me a minute, I can link you to our minutes 22:38 Ashex https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVu0CEKVbc6vZGdmemJxZG5fMjNkNnMzbnB2dw&hl=en 22:38 althara peanutb: Why would it be an issue to go to a committee member with a dispute? 22:39 xuCGC002 some may arise 22:39 xuCGC002 you never know 22:39 valorie sure, we're all human 22:39 xuCGC002 but somebody might be able to help 22:39 peanutb althara: because one committee member might not understand the whole situation. and most likely, it would be within this giant committee 22:39 althara I'm saying why would going to a committee member be worse than going to a single person desiganted as dispute resolver 22:39 Ashex peanutb: do you mean handle disputes from outside the group 22:39 valorie but disputes can go to a committee as well as one person 22:39 Ashex such as between us and ubuntu/another group 22:40 Ashex Or internal disputes 22:40 peanutb Ashex: no. I mean within the group 22:40 valorie we can't have a giant committee, we don't have enough people yet 22:40 valorie lol 22:40 xuCGC002 maybe 22:40 Ashex Ay, I was thinking it could be like 3 people or something 22:40 althara Yes, 3 sounds like the right number to me 22:40 valorie 3 is a good number 22:40 peanutb Sounds about right 22:40 althara peanutb: what does someone with a dispute do when the leader is who they have a dispute with? 22:40 xuCGC002 around that number, yes 22:41 peanutb but these people need to make sure they have set roles 22:41 althara s/leader/dispute resolver/ 22:41 valorie The Linuxchix run well with the Tres Chix, and that's a world-wide group 22:41 xuCGC002 althara: i can see that 22:42 peanutb althara: good point. Vive la revolution? I see your point 22:42 althara I may be interpreting this wrong, but I think your issue may be more with having a clear process around dispute resolution as opposed to needing a single person to handle all disputes? 22:42 peanutb i guess that is what im asking for 22:43 althara I completely agree we need to have a way for disputes to be handle so that they arent ignored or fall through the cracks 22:43 valorie peanutb: how about if you come up with a draft policy for dispute resolution/ 22:43 xuCGC002 ok, so now we should come up with a way to handle disputes without relying on one person 22:43 valorie ? 22:43 peanutb valorie: sounds good 22:44 peanutb So lets start from the beginning 22:44 xuCGC002 if that system does not work, we could bring it up with a small amount of people 22:44 peanutb We have a 3? person committee, with a rotating "team contact" 22:44 ChuckWest OK, I'm caught up, thank you. 22:45 GreySim This page may be relevant for dispute resolution: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoResolvingProblems 22:45 valorie chuck, now that you are here -- how do you feel about continuing as team contact? 22:45 xuCGC002 GreySim: Thanks 22:45 ChuckWest I am very much for that. I'm glad others are now here to take some of the responsibilities. 22:46 valorie that looks excellent, GreySim 22:46 ChuckWest I know many take issue with me it seems but I only want what is best. Excuse me if I do such a terrible job. 22:46 althara peanutb: That is what we have been discussing, though I am infavor of not having the team contact rotate. 22:47 valorie who is taking issue with you? 22:47 valorie sorry, I must have missed something 22:47 valorie I think we all want what's best for the group 22:47 althara valorie: agreed 22:47 xuCGC002 exactly 22:47 Ashex ChuckWest: I believe some were frustrated with the lack of progress with the group over the last year. But that is behind us now 22:48 * valorie didn't even know the group existed a year ago 22:48 ChuckWest Some people would rather tear things down than make them better. I don't know where the hostility comes from. 22:48 valorie only recently discovered the social structure of Ubuntu 22:48 althara ChuckWest: I don't see any hostility. Just observations. 22:48 Ashex So, I believe we have deicded we want to have a 3 person committee and a speaker/team contact 22:48 * valorie hasn't seen the hostility 22:48 xuCGC002 i thought this group just started up. but then again we did have the table for the past couple years at LFNW 22:49 althara Ashex: yes 22:49 Ashex Dispute resolution still hasn't been clarified or decided on yet 22:49 althara We will add dispute resolution to the agenda for the next meeting. 22:49 peanutb maybe we should put that off, until we can have a real proposition 22:49 valorie ashex, I believe that peanutb will bring a draft to us 22:49 Ashex Each member of the committee is essentially acting as a leader, but they will discuss any actions that needed to be made 22:49 ChuckWest Help and communication is nice. It's about time there was some around here, but I'm done sounding off... :] 22:49 GreySim By the way, anyone who is taking on a leadership role *may* be available in this freely downloadable book, written by the guy who started the LoCo stuff to begin with: http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/get/ 22:49 xuCGC002 peanutb: yes, this issue would be handled much better later on 22:49 valorie peanutb: please feel free to call on any of us for help with that 22:49 Ashex Okay, Just wanted to recap to make sure we were on the same page 22:50 althara Ashex: thank you 22:50 peanutb I mean, it depends on how we set up the structure of the team 22:50 althara So I propose a vote. 22:50 peanutb three leaders etc 22:50 peanutb but yeah 22:50 althara All those in favor of a committee for leadership of the LoCo? 22:50 althara +1 22:50 peanutb aye 22:50 Salt +1 22:50 GreySim +1 22:50 xuCGC002 yes, i think so 22:50 aendruk +1 22:50 ChuckWest +1 22:51 Ashex Aye 22:51 valorie +1 22:51 althara All those opposed to a committee for leadership of the LoCo? 22:51 althara The ayes have it. 22:52 xuCGC002 then its settled 22:52 xuCGC002 when shall we pick committee members? 22:52 althara So does anyone else have input ont he number of people for the committee?
