But before that i wanted to know if anyone here has anything they want to bring up 20:06 agenda isn't empty 20:06 it's got caboose885 on it ... 20:06 hmm 20:06 That is old? 20:06 "last" meeting... 20:06 I missed the last one...so elfy told me to roll it over to this one 20:06 Ah, okay :) 20:06 no that is left from the last meeting(s) when there won't enough of us here 20:06 caboose885, go for it 20:07 #topic 20:07 Followup report to the UA team revision 20:07 Well, I have been working on the UA team. Currently I have 9 active members. I actually have a few more people that are eager to join but they don't meet the requirements yet 20:07 Hopefully in the next couple months we can bring them on 20:08 What are membership requirements? 20:08 6 months active on the forums 20:08 I was just wondering how you are going about getting in contact with people, or are they coming to you? 20:09 At first I was reaching out to people but lately I've had a couple come to me 20:09 good 20:09 I'm not sure if its members spreading the word or how they are learning about the team 20:10 I never really asked them how they heard about the team 20:10 it might be worth doing that 20:10 I will make sure to ask next time 20:11 So, the team is slowly getting started. Still need more members but at least we have a small team working on reducing unanswered posts left on the forums 20:11 caboose885: nothing to stop you asking those you've got :) 20:11 That sounds great caboose885 , I know it can be hard getting movement :) 20:11 I think I estimated the team a bit too small. I think I will need more than 15 members but i will take what I can get 20:11 agreed elfy 20:12 caboose885: yep - though I'd say it's best to start with a compact team 20:12 agreed, with growing pains and figuring a good system out and all 20:12 that is all from me unless you guys have more to ask 20:12 Okay, anything else you want to add caboose885 , or can we move on? (not that i am trying to change topic) 20:13 caboose885: thanks for the time you're putting in to it 20:13 Nothing more from me except i am glad it is slowly coming together and a big thank you 20:13 :) 20:13 you can move on s-fox. I am done :) 20:13 Thanks for everyones help and support 20:13 thanks caboose885 20:14 Okay moving on... 20:14 #topic Moderator Nominations 20:15 We have been trying quite hard to become more democratic with the way in which moderators (and admins) will be chosen on the forums 20:15 It has been difficult to find a way to implement, but we getting there. 20:15 We have recently come up with this outline: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ForumCouncil/TeamNomination 20:16 It is still a work in progress that needs the Community Council to agree on (we have 3/7 officially at this time) 20:16 I guess we are looking for general feedback from an outsiders point of view, as well as just letting you know what is coming 20:17 I think that is about it, unless any of the other FC members have anything to add. 20:17 not to that 20:17 nothing here 20:17 Also big thank you to those that drafted it and did the organisation on launchpad , and going over the vote script :) 20:18 you've summed it up pretty good s-fox 20:18 that's still needing some work 20:18 but we've time 20:18 how do we want general feedback, a thread in the forums ? 20:19 By nature we are forum based, so i think that would be a good idea 20:19 howefield: I've posted one - will post a general forum thread later 20:19 Thank you elfy :) 20:19 thanks 20:19 let's get feedback from those affected first 20:19 I want to be quick to add i am not expecting a flood of feedback *right now this instant* 20:19 it can go in the general forum once we're sure of what we are going to do - rather than draft 20:20 Agreed elfy , i wish to wait until we have a majority from the CC 20:20 I'm not sure that the moderator nomination is of concern 20:21 ok - think move onto fixed items now 20:21 I wouldn't want to guess the concerns of others. ;) 20:22 * elfy neither 20:22 Okay, but before that does anyone have anything that they want to bring up that isn't on the agenda for whatever reason :) 20:22 other than it has been the province of the FC up till now 20:22 I guess nobody has anything. 20:22 Next topic 20:22 s-fox: that's what we put AOB on the agenda for I thought :) 20:23 #topic Division of labour 20:23 Alright, who wants to do what? 20:23 who did what last time? :) 20:23 sef does 20:23 very funny :) 20:24 not sure what there is on the list anymore tbh - some are long gone now 20:24 I'm not fussy, what does nobody like doing :) 20:24 I *think* I did the report lasttime. 20:24 Okay, well there is the team report 20:24 i think i fixed it the other month, but that might have been elfy 20:24 Then there's the ML 20:24 hmm 20:25 team report should be done regardless of there being a meeting 20:25 elfy, +1 20:25 Iowan: ML is whoever sees it first and approves the post 20:25 I think the ml is being looked after generally by a few people though 20:25 Similar to Res centre... 20:25 to me that is a good thing 20:26 we changed that at the same time as sending replies to the join notice to dev/null 20:26 i only think we had it that way to ensure someone looks at it. i think we are better than we used to be 20:26 i don't mind doing the report 20:26 I think the only thing that needs to be rotated is the report 20:26 No new members to add :( 20:27 i haven't done the report for a while, i'll do it tomorrow at some point 20:27 Iowan: not at present - though we actually do those when they get majority 20:27 shouldn't be on Agenda 20:27 oh, does anyone know when the next announcement bot post is due? 20:27 that needs checking 20:28 hopefully it is fixed :) 20:28 no - but I'm subscribed to a couple of -announce m/l's 20:28 pity we can't fake an announcement to test it 20:28 or can we? 20:28 no 20:28 shame 20:29 IS are waiting for one to appear same as us :) 20:29 Oh yes, while i remember. Thank you to IS for sorting out those tickets i created last week :) 20:29 so all in agreement - QIII can do that? 20:29 yes 20:29 agreed 20:29 approved 20:29 +1 20:30 +! 20:30 +1 20:30 ok - seems like a wrap then 20:30 can we review what the payment rate is for that? 20:30 same as previous 20:30 Also, thank you to you all for being active in the running of the forums. to me it feels we are much more organised / active than we have been for a long time :) 20:30 I don't do anything much... 20:30 * s-fox fires Irihapeti 20:31 thanks s-fox et all, and good night :) 20:31 TY 20:31 :D 20:31 good night howefield 20:31 i think that is it 20:31 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
