I suggest we use "o/" and "..". 14:18:10 oh yes, I should have linked that. 14:18:29 o/ 14:18:35 go 14:19:22 vibhav: you're a fairly recent contributor, essentially applying for membership through ubuntu development 14:19:31 tumbleweed: Yes 14:20:10 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers describes a requirement for "significant and sustained contributions" which is normally understood as 6 months 14:20:23 have you been developing on ubuntu for that long? 14:20:28 nope 14:20:40 were you aware of that requirement? 14:20:45 nope 14:20:50 I'm sorry that is not true 14:21:06 other membership boards have made it clear the "sustained requirements" period minimum 14:21:09 vibhav: I told you about that in #ubuntu-motu 14:21:28 micahg: yeah, I forgot 14:21:32 So, please continue 14:21:47 o/ 14:22:06 .. for now 14:23:03 o/ 14:23:33 vibhav: please explain https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VibhavPant/UniverseContributorApplication?action=diff&rev1=46&rev2=47 and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VibhavPant/UniverseContributorApplication?action=diff&rev1=44&rev2=45 14:23:39 I would just like to reiterate my comments that were also made at a precious Regional membership board meeting. I do not think vibhav is mature enough to be considered for Ubuntu membership. He lacks the necessary "team spirit" this community is built on. I strongly suggest his application be rejected until he can show more of the needed qualities. I am also concerned with the recent changes that were applied to the wiki page i.e comments 14:23:39 being removed. 14:23:50 s/precious/previous/ 14:24:03 Laney: restored 14:24:14 IdleOne: thanks for bringing it to our attention 14:24:23 My pleasure. 14:24:29 I know that micahg put it back again. 14:24:38 I'm concerned about why you thought trying to hide it from us was appropriate. 14:24:49 sorry 14:26:13 We might have been able to have a discussion about the content of the comment, but that is now overshadowed by this, IMHO. 14:26:36 I agree, that was really stupid of me 14:26:45 it's not the first time you've done it 14:26:50 yeah, one of the most important things I'm looking for in a prospective Ubuntu developer is trust from other developers 14:27:04 this whole telling lies thing is getting to be a real insult to the constant applications to the community 14:27:13 I'm also very concerned that you have been to other membership boards and aren't following their advice. 14:27:44 vibhav: part of being in a community is being able to accept criticism from your peers and learning from that criticism. Trying to hide it from the DMB was not only stupid, as you put it, but for me it shows a lack of trustworthiness. 14:28:31 IdleOne: I was never trying to hide it 14:28:38 vibhav: I want you to know that I am probably obe of your biggest supporters. The Ubuntu ops team has had more than a few discussions about you. 14:28:44 s/obe/one/ 14:29:01 .. 14:29:03 vibhav: then why remove it? 14:29:23 I am always trying to point out that you do have the potential but you don't want to do the work involved. This latest incident has really disappointed me. 14:29:48 Thanks to the DMB for letting me speak, sorry i took so much time. 14:30:04 IdleOne: the "Things I can do better" paint a similar picture 14:30:14 I'm actually considering taking this to the CC 14:30:18 they are all part of "doing the work involved" 14:30:31 I don't find it acceptable that someone who is a persistant liar and trying to trick people into membership be allowed to continue 14:30:38 tumbleweed: Yeah, but I dont remember that stuff 14:30:47 ikonia: thanks. We'll take it from here... 14:30:51 sure 14:31:16 anyone else? micahg? 14:31:45 I think what I wanted to say has been said already 14:31:55 ok, let's vote. 14:32:10 You should note that we don't have quorum so formally this will have to be settled over email. 14:32:28 well, that depends on the vote :) 14:32:40 #vote Should Vibhav Pant Pant become an Ubuntun Contributing Developer 14:32:40 Please vote on: Should Vibhav Pant Pant become an Ubuntun Contributing Developer 14:32:40 Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (private votes don't work yet, but when they do it will be by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to me) 14:32:50 (without typo) (with question mark) 14:33:31 -1 only three months of dev work, wiki behaviour is an example not befitting an Ubuntu member regardless 14:33:31 -1 only three months of dev work, wiki behaviour is an example not befitting an Ubuntu member regardless received from micahg 14:34:17 -1 (as above) 14:34:17 -1 (as above) received from tumbleweed 14:34:31 -1 Not been contribution for six months (the minimum, as advised).
