22:07 <hggdh> bah
22:07 <dblueman1> I'm here for the meeting also
22:08 <hggdh> we expect candidates to speak up when we call them, and give us a brief intro on why they are qualified for membership; links to the LP and Wiki pages should be provided
22:08 <c_smith> noted
22:08 <hggdh> anyone willing to support and cheer for the candidates, please feel free to do so
22:09 <hggdh> So... let's get on to it
22:09 <hggdh> #meetingtopic RMB -- c_smith
22:09 <hggdh> c_smith: please present yourself
22:10 <c_smith> Hi, I'm Cody Smith (Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Cody.Smith Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~cody.smith), I mainly contribute through my Local LoCo (Ubuntu Oregon). and occasional bug reports and fixes
22:11 <c_smith> I haven't contributed fixes in a while, but I still report bugs I find.
22:11 <c_smith> I try and get awareness of Ubuntu (and free software in general) whenever I can
22:11 <c_smith> *whenever and wherever I can
22:13 <Pendulum> c_smith: Can you expand some more on what you do with your LoCo?
22:13 <hggdh> c_smith: yes, please. Your wiki application is -- being candid -- poor on details
22:15 <c_smith> sure, I started an Ubuntu Hour here in my hometown (most members are an hour north of me) and with what I have done I (as slangesek has said in the comments) help set the pace for the Loco.
22:15 <c_smith> I do what I can for the LoCo (and Ubuntu at large) in the spare time I have.
22:16 <c_smith> if any more details are needed, please, ask for them.
22:17 <c_smith> oh, one thing I forgot to mention
22:18 <c_smith> at the Ubuntu hours, we occasionally get people who are wanting to try Ubuntu, yet don't know where to start, and those of us there (2-3 people including myself) try and get them the info they need to have the most success they can
22:19 <hggdh> c_smith: and how long have you been with the LoCo?
22:19 <c_smith> hggdh, if memory serves. since just before the 11.04 series.
22:20 <hggdh> c_smith: thank you. Can you please give us a bit so that we can discuss internally?
22:20 <c_smith> sure.

22:25 <hggdh> #meetingtopic dblueman1 for Ubuntu Membership
22:26 <chilicuil> c_smith: feel free to get dinner
22:26 <c_smith> cool
22:26 <c_smith> I'm message me if there's anything needed.
22:26 <hggdh> dblueman1: please introduce yourself, with LP and wiki links. Please detail what you have done that warrants a membership
22:26 <c_smith> *I'm out
22:26 <dblueman1> Hi; I'm Daniel J Blueman, a software developer who's been using Ubuntu the last 8 years, contributing bug reporting, analysis and fixes. ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielBlueman , https://launchpad.net/~watchmaker , https://launchpad.net/~danielblueman for further history )
22:27 <hggdh> PabloRubianes: thank you, sir
22:27 <dblueman1> Most of my contributions relate to the linux kernel, including developing testcases to provoke bugs in btrfs, platform enablement and so on:
22:27 <dblueman1> https://www.google.com/search?sitesearch=lkml.org&q=%22Signed-off-by:+Daniel+J+Blueman
22:27 <chilicuil> have you worked with the Ubuntu Kernel team at any point? dblueman1 ?
22:28 <dblueman1> my Ubuntu-specific contributions relate to kernel configuration, so I join the Ubuntu Kernel mailing list and raise matters when eg there are things I suggest
22:28 <dblueman1> likewise for other more general Ubuntu topics with the Ubuntu dev mailing list
22:30 <dblueman1> other package-related contribution comes when I hit a package issue, then I'll open/develop a LP bug report sometimes to resolution
22:31 <dblueman1> I've been moving more to contributing at a local community level, deploying Edubuntu in two schools in Singapore and organising local Singapore and Philippines mirrors
22:31 <chilicuil> dblueman1: why you didn't ask for testimonials for your wiki application?
22:32 <dblueman1> I probably will if later I apply for Ubuntu developer membership
22:33 <dblueman1> quite a few Ubuntu developers will know me from my interactions on the Ubuntu Kernel ML and the Ubuntu Dev ML, so I could solicit testimonials
22:33 <Pendulum> dblueman1: quite honestly it's just as important to have testimonials for Ubuntu Membership applications.
22:33 <hggdh> dblueman1: this is a problem for us: although I can see you active on lkml, there is not much in #ubuntu-devel; I do not follow the kernel ml, though
22:34 <Pendulum> (and we accept testimonials from anyone, plenty of kernel team members have given testimonials for folks applying for Ubuntu Membership)
22:34 <hggdh> dblueman1: so we cannot verify your work on Ubuntu... the testimonials would help a lot
22:34 <bkerensa-remote> dblueman1: it is hard for us to guage your contributions to Ubuntu without testimonials or some tangible patches on LP
22:34 <dblueman1> I see that
22:35 <chilicuil> dblueman1: did you know that the ubuntu developer membership gives you the ubuntu membership automatically?
22:35 <dblueman1> my activity history in LP gives us that
22:35 <dblueman1> yes, though I'm applying for non-developer membership
22:36 <PabloRubianes> dblueman1, I am afraid your LP accounts have little activity
22:36 <hggdh> dblueman1: you have one code fix and a few bugs on LP that I can see. Not much to gauge participation
22:36 <dblueman1> https://bugs.launchpad.net/~danielblueman
22:36 <Pendulum> dblueman1: are you involved with your local Ubuntu community at all?
22:37 <hggdh> 266 bugs total on LP
22:38 <hggdh> (reported, commented, worked on, etc)
22:38 <dblueman1> from involvement of the local Linux group here in Singapore, there is less momentum in the Ubuntu LoCo, though I plan to bring more engagement later
22:39 <dblueman1> what I value before that, is the develop the awareness of Edubuntu in education here, and in countries in SE Asia
22:40 <Pendulum> dblueman1: do you have any photos or articles or anything about the work you've done with getting Edubuntu into the schools?
22:41 <dblueman1> myself and two teachers have been preparing to document this at http://open-school.net , which I recently deployed
22:42 <dblueman1> (pending me setting up MediaWiki visual editing and other config changes)
22:43 <dblueman1> but we have a loose team of 5 people who are waiting to be involved
22:43 <hggdh> dblueman1: let us discuss a bit;
22:43 <dblueman1> I can cite a Ministry of Education award application using Edubuntu also; se
22:43 <dblueman1> sec
22:44 <dblueman1> (uploading PDF to my site)
22:46 <dblueman1> sorry to keep you
22:46 <hggdh> no prob
22:47 <hggdh> dblueman1: no worry, we are ready to vote
