Most other boards tend to meet monthly and with the current number of applicants I don't think that's too bad an idea. 10:20:15 i like the idea of monthly 10:20:47 head_victim, agreed. However, I think it can be flexible. We can arrange extra meetings if we have a lot of applicants. 10:20:49 If we start getting large numbers of applicants we can't get through we could easily go back to twice a month if the need arisings 10:21:29 Destine: exactly what I was thinking :) 10:21:58 I do hope we can have more applicants. I wish we can be a little bit busy really. 10:23:11 I saw a blog on the planet encouraging membership recently actually. It's probably somethign we could all assist with. I'm sure we all know people who are suited to becoming Ubuntu members that aren't 10:23:17 Destine: I bet if we speak Chinese, applicants will flood in :) 10:23:35 freeflying, I guess so. :) 10:24:00 I'm sure there is a Ubuntu member int he Chinese team that would be willing to assist with the translations 10:24:16 And of course as long as the application is in early enough there is always google translate 10:24:43 head_victim: but still language is a gap :) 10:24:45 still not rejoin ? 10:25:24 ejat: apparently not :/ 10:25:31 freeflying, sure. Encourage them to learn English then. 10:26:00 * Destine call for ashickur... 10:26:02 So are we comfortable on reaching consensus on making the meeting monthly? 10:26:09 head_victim, +1 10:26:32 +1 10:26:41 +1 10:27:43 Ok well when writing up the next meeting times I'll post it for the second Tuesday of next month 10:27:46 +1 10:28:22 Ashickur appears to have dropped offline 10:28:47 #Agreed Change meetings to monthly for now, revisit if applications pick up to the point of not getting through them in a meeting 10:29:21 Anyone willing to email ashickur to get them to follow up next month? 10:31:11 #action head_victim to email follow up to ashickur 10:31:11 * meetingology head_victim to email follow up to ashickur 10:31:19 Alright, anyone have any other business? 10:33:55 head_victim, I guess he is back. 10:34:13 Sorry 10:34:16 elky, ejat freeflying ping. 10:34:31 the applicant is back. 10:34:34 ashickur-noor: can you give us a quick introduction, we were about to close off the meeting 10:34:55 still here 10:35:11 About me? 10:35:27 ashickur-noor: yep, a brief, 1 - 2 sentence rundown of your acitivities 10:36:32 Currently am working as a moderator of Bengali Linux forum 10:36:34 and Another open Source Forum in Bangladesh 10:37:05 Volunteer of FOSS Bangladesh 10:37:35 ashickur-noor: thanks, I notice on your wiki page you mention 2 events recently.
