Was there an email? "Come show up! Be volunteered!" 20:17 Lets stop goading people, its their own decision to nominate themselves. 20:17 IdleOne: I will accept your nomination, but only if that makes six people. So if that was only five, you'll need to find one more :) 20:17 I'm assuming AlanBell is keeping track 20:17 After all, this is a 2 year commitment. 20:18 IdleOne: Think of it as a matching contribution :) 20:18 well, it seems we can't shame anyone else now :( 20:19 so far I see Pici Tm_T AlanBell IdleOne Flannel 20:19 Flannel: Please confirm yourself so I don't feel like I forced you into accepting 20:20 *the nomination 20:23 I still feel that we should seek out one or two more. It's not much of a confirmation/vote if barely have the minimum number. 20:24 AlanBell: What are the requirements for a person serving? 20:24 be ubuntu member 20:24 Flannel: ubuntu IRC membership, being dedicated to IRC, having a bit or IRC knowledge, listet all at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil 20:25 (under IRC Council Charter, 4th point) 20:27 Flannel: yeah, basically Ubuntu Membership and wanting to do it really 20:27 nominations are open to the end of November, so still a few hours left :) 20:27 right, operator status not required. 20:27 https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-irc/2013-November/001623.html set out the dates 20:28 Flannel: nope, not required to be an Op 20:29 So, with this window, let me officially state this then: I will only accept nomination if we find at least one more (hopefully more!) additional people who accept nomination. 20:30 would be good to have non-ops in council too infact 20:30 Not that I wish to be difficult, just that I wish for a vote that's more meaningful than "vote for five of these five people!" when it comes time for that. 20:30 Flannel: yeah, I am keen on there being a vote too 20:31 so basically you just need to find one who nobody will vote for anyway, then take Flannel ;) 20:31 Lets have everyone take a homework assignment then, over the next N hours (how many? what timezone?), talk to folks about the IRCC, what it does, why it's important, and see if they're interested. 20:34 so I didn't specify a timezone, we normally use UTC, but it isn't a particularly hard deadline, we said "November" and I would be fine with that meaning that we send the list to the CC at an unspecified time on Monday with all nominations to that point 20:35 Sounds fine to me 20:36 the IRCC will prepare an email with the names, links to wiki pages and launchpad pages and any comments we may have about the nominations 20:36 Do I need to make a special page for this? 20:36 wiki page that is 20:36 IdleOne: At least a section. 20:37 let me see if I remember my wiki all-in-one password 20:37 IdleOne: I think the wiki uses launchpad now. 20:37 no need for a special page or section, just maybe take a look over the existing stuff and update if required 20:38 maybe add a note saying you are nominating yourself for the IRCC 20:38 And testimonials, if you like. 20:40 will do 20:42 so, thanks very much all for attending this meeting, and thanks to those who have nominated themselves, lets close this for now, further nominations will continue to be accepted, just let a member of the current IRCC know you want to put yourself forward by email or IRC or carrier pigeon 20:43 Thank you. 20:43 at some point on Monday the nominations we know about at that time will be passed on to the CC - we won't announce the time of that in advance, so no last second nominations will work :) 20:43 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
