The wiki page for the Review Board is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards. We will attempt to get through all of the applicants that have added themselves to that list before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the entire list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. The format for the meeting is as foll 22:00 ows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page. After the introduction the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions. During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applica 22:00 Good evening, gsilva 22:00 wow it's a regular party in here :) 22:00 nt. Do not be alarmed if the members of the Membership Review Board are quiet during this time; they are most likely reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote. 22:00 o/ 22:01 #topic gsilva 22:01 gsilva, please introduce yourself and give links to your LP profile and wiki page. 22:01 Okay then 22:02 #voters hggdh wxl toddy belkinsa elacheche_anis popey 22:02 Current voters: belkinsa elacheche_anis hggdh popey toddy wxl 22:02 #voters PabloRubianes marcoceppi 22:02 Current voters: PabloRubianes belkinsa elacheche_anis hggdh marcoceppi popey toddy wxl 22:02 there's elfy too belkinsa 22:02 and me 22:02 o/ 22:03 wxl: not in membership board 22:03 #voters ahoneybun Kilos 22:03 Current voters: Kilos PabloRubianes ahoneybun belkinsa elacheche_anis hggdh marcoceppi popey toddy wxl 22:03 yay 22:03 elfy, lives here. 22:03 just hanging about :) 22:03 :D 22:03 :) 22:03 gsilva: please go ahead 22:03 :D 22:03 #voters jcastro 22:03 Current voters: Kilos PabloRubianes ahoneybun belkinsa elacheche_anis hggdh jcastro marcoceppi popey toddy wxl 22:03 wxl: we just 'can' vote if quorum needs it 22:03 We are good now 22:03 * wxl nods at elfy 22:03 My name is Gustavo Silva, I am 22 years old and I am Portuguese. I am finishing a master's degree in Industrial and Firm's Economics, hence my background is based on Management and Economics. I started using Ubuntu a very long time ago (not even sure what the version was but it was with Gnome back then) and started using it again last year because I felt it offered me enough alternatives for my daily life, even though 22:03 I am unemployed. Recently, I was criticizing a lot of bits here and there about the Wiki of Lubuntu and then things progressed from there 22:04 From small changes and contributions, to huge plans and ideas. The guys at Lubuntu thought I'd be a great adition to the team so I am leading the Wiki & Docs team. 22:04 And you also want these: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/gsilva https://launchpad.net/~gsilva 22:05 oops 22:05 this one instead: https://launchpad.net/~gustavosantaremsilva 22:05 heh. Usually, this is how we start -- we get an itch on Something We Do Not Like(TM), and get involved 22:05 Well, I found a lot more about Linux in general after that. Of course I was too naive, but I guess that's part of contributing to such community :) 22:06 is this a good time to interject comments about the candidate? being the release manager for lubuntu, i have a lot of experience working directly with gsilva 22:06 Does anyone have questions? Or any comments? 22:06 gsilva: out of curiosity -- do you participate in the PT community? 22:07 belkinsa: okie dokie :) 22:07 hggdh, unfortunately no. I tried reaching them many teams and it seems they are inactive for now, even though they organize some conferences here and there. They usually organize them in Lisbon, which is 300 kms away from home, which is also unfortunate 22:07 the PT community has a very meager existence hggdh 22:08 If I'd have to judge from their official website, I'd say they are inactive at the moment - honestly. But I don't want to say it because it may not be true 22:08 I emailed one of the guys recently and got no answer until today 22:08 close to true gsilva 22:08 keep trying gsilva. worse comes to worst, take over. :) 22:08 gsilva: have you thought of drawing up some blueprints of the future of the Lubuntu Wiki? 22:09 sounds like slickymaster may have some insight on that matter if need be 22:09 gsilva: OK. It is just because I have always looked at them, perhaps as a way to keep tabs... part of having ties, I guess 22:09 Damn, too many comments :D 22:09 Maybe the loco council could help with that 22:09 i think if they're unreachable, they're unreachable, PabloRubianes, but if someone is anxious to start something where things are otherwise active, i'm sure they could help 22:10 wxl, yes, I am thinking of that after I put all of my plans in practice in regards to Lubuntu. When things start rolling by themselves, then I can help out the LoCo team, which is something I wish to do. I have some secondary plans in mind to do that. Long story short, Ricardo Lafuente organizes Open-focused conferences: It is an opportunity to introduce open source technologies 22:10 gsilva: and what else you plan to do on Ubuntu? 22:11 * hggdh considers the question answered :-) 22:11 #votesrequired 4 22:11 votes now need 4 to be passed 22:11 ahoneybun, well, there are two major things in regard to Lubuntu (within my team, ofc): First, prepare a different structure and launch a manual. The manual is undergoing and I need help for the structure 22:11 Otherwise, that will take more time. 22:11 ahoneybun: he actually does have some blueprints, too 22:11 But yes, I try to keep some flow of blueprints to the team page, just in case someone joins the team and needs guidance 22:11 ahoneybun: they're assigned to the team, though, and not him directly from what i remember 22:12 thats why I did not see them on his LP 22:12 yeppers 22:12 i've tried to keep things that way among lubuntu team members to allow others to fill in for people if need be 22:12 hggdh, well, the main thing is the organization of regular open-source dedicated online conferences. I talked with belkinsa yesterday, at our community session. Let me search for the link 22:12 because we have a darn small team 22:13 hggdh: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1505/meeting/22484/community-1505-planning-session/ 22:13 Yes, all blueprints are assigned to the team so that anyone can see them if they ever need to 22:13 Besides, it is a team effort :) 22:14 when the team is small enough, this works OK. 22:14 cool 22:14 I'm also planning to work on a communication plan to the Lubuntu team, which may be scaled up to Ubuntu and/or other flavours 22:14 Any more questions/comments? 22:14 none from me 22:14 No. Ready to vote 22:14 nope 22:14 no, I'm ready to vote 22:14 Okay 22:14 My plans, even though focused on Lubuntu, are easily scoped to other flavors as well. In fact, I'd really appreciate if all distributions could merge efforts in some of them :) 22:14 ready 22:14 Oh, apologies 22:15 no problem, gsilva 22:15 gsilva: no need to apologise 22:15 But first do we have anyone hear to cheer him on? Or has the board got what they wanted from the questions? 22:15 well i can cheer very loudly, but it sounds like we're good to go? 22:15 I know wxl is cheering for him already. 22:15 rafaellaguna? 22:16 Alrighty then, it's voting time! 22:16 I have no questions, because I know how useful was gsilva for the team 22:16 #startvote For gsilva's Membership? 22:17 * wxl kicks the bot 22:17 #startvote For gsilva's Membership? 22:17 can't parse ? perhaps? 22:17 #vote For gsilva's Membership? 22:17 Please vote on: For gsilva's Membership? 22:17 Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (for private voting, private message me with 'vote +1/-1/+0 #channelname) 22:17 The bot doesn't want to vote for me 22:17 ah 22:17 lol 22:17 tadaaa :) 22:17 +1 (well, +∞ would be more accurate) 22:17 +1 (well, +∞ would be more accurate) received from wxl 22:18 +1 Obrigado por teu trabalho.
