20:03 <elacheche_anis> #startmeeting 20 UTC Membership Board Meeting 20:03 <meetingology> Meeting started Thu Oct 1 20:03:35 2015 UTC. The chair is elacheche_anis. Information about MeetBot at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology. 20:03 <meetingology> 20:03 <meetingology> Available commands: action commands idea info link nick 20:03 <hikiko--> yes ready :)\ 20:03 <elacheche_anis> 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. 20:03 <elacheche_anis> 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 follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). 20:03 <elacheche_anis> 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. 20:03 <elacheche_anis> During this time it is encouraged for other members of the community to show their support for the applicant. 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. 20:04 <elacheche_anis> #topic hikiko-- 20:04 <elacheche_anis> hikiko-- please introduce yourself to the board, and share a link to your LP and wiki 20:04 <elacheche_anis> #voters wxl Kilos PabloRubianes elacheche_anis 20:04 <meetingology> Current voters: Kilos PabloRubianes elacheche_anis wxl 20:04 <elacheche_anis> #votesrequired 4 20:04 <meetingology> votes now need 4 to be passed 20:04 <hikiko--> hello, I’m Eleni, I’m a software engineer @Canonical and I work on the desktop (nux, compiz and unity) 20:05 <wxl> nice to meet you Eleni! :) 20:05 <hikiko--> my wiki page is: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/hikiko 20:05 <elacheche_anis> Welcome hikiko-- :) What can you tell us more about you ? 20:06 <hikiko--> and my lp page: https://launchpad.net/~hikiko 20:06 <hikiko--> hello all\ 20:06 <hikiko--> mmm what else 20:06 <hikiko--> I like computer graphics 20:06 <hikiko--> I m writing C++, opengl 20:06 <Kilos> nice to meet you hikiko-- 20:06 <wxl> that seems apparent :) 20:07 <wxl> outside of your contributions to the project as part of your job, how else have you been involved with the ubuntu community? 20:08 <hikiko--> I write some blog posts related to Ubuntu (and that’s one of the reasons I’d like to become ubuntu member: add my blog to planet ubuntu so that more people can read it) and I participate to fosscoms etc 20:08 <elacheche_anis> hikiko--: I really LOVED that imgr link!
