I'm a moderator on Ask Ubuntu and have been in the Ubuntu community for a quite few years now as wella s a long time Ubuntu user. While I mostly interact with users of Ubuntu Cloud and Server, I look forward to helping with the governece. I also serve on the Ubuntu Membership Board and work as an Engineering Manager at Canonical on the Juju Charm Community team 17:09 oohh juju, my new best friend 17:10 heh :) 17:10 I'm Michael Hall, a returning member of the Community Council, I am also a community manager at Canonical and long-time community contributor 17:11 Hello, I'm Daniel Holbach, also returning member of the CC. I've been part of Ubuntu for a long while and always liked to work with the different developer communities - right now I'm looking at Snappy Ubuntu Core a lot, I'm with mhall119 on the Community team. 17:12 czajkowski? :) 17:13 We'll introduce belkinsa and sabdfl the next time. ;-) 17:13 sabdfl probably doesn't need it :) 17:13 probably not lol 17:16 cool, welcome everyone o/ 17:16 ok... it looks like czajkowski is in a conflicting meeting right now... we can maybe get her intro later on :) 17:16 yes, welcome everyone... I'm looking forward to working together with you :) 17:17 I'd one again like to thank all of our new and returning members for taking on this responsibility 17:17 welcome everyone, ditto 17:18 dholbach: shall we start with the CC agenda schedule? 17:18 yep, let's 17:18 #topic Updating the CC agenda schedule 17:18 so I just copied the old CC agenda to http://pad.ubuntu.com/dQDBNCfRIY 17:19 basically what we did in the last 2-3 years(?) was to invite other teams/councils/governance bodies into our CC meetings to have a brief catchup and get up to date on what's happening in other communities and offer help where we can 17:19 we could review the list of teams and see everyone's represented 17:20 in the meantime I could add dates, always alternating between 1st and 3rd Thu of the month 17:20 hmm I cant seem to access that 17:22 sgclark, can you try to join https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-etherpad? 17:22 although... as an Ubuntu member you should be part of it already 17:22 yes: https://launchpad.net/~sgclark/+participation 17:23 ok works in chrome, my firefox is grumpy this morning 17:23 oh ok 17:23 dholbach: Having apps/phone folks on was nice, should we do the same with cloud/juju? marcoceppi thoughts? 17:24 ah, nice idea 17:24 So, these dates align with this meeting, so we'd simply be inviting these teams to join/status update? 17:24 I also seem to remember that "Ubuntu Governance" was something we planned to do, but didn't quite follow up on 17:25 marcoceppi, yes 17:25 Having a Server/Cloud would be a good idea mhall119 dholbach 17:26 cool, added them 17:26 mhall119, czajkowski: do you remember what we wanted to do with "Ubuntu Governance"? 17:27 dholbach: I think that was catching up with the sub-councils 17:27 was this supposed to be a hangout? or a meeting where we invite all boards/councils or something completely different? 17:27 all together to discuss the overall community governance 17:27 ok... I guess can do that 17:29 cool... if that's it, I would doublecheck that the meetings don't collide with popular holidays or sprints/events, then we could reach out to the teams 17:30 #action dholbach to check the list of dates on http://pad.ubuntu.com/dQDBNCfRIY for conflicts 17:30 * meetingology dholbach to check the list of dates on http://pad.ubuntu.com/dQDBNCfRIY for conflicts 17:30 no obvious holidays that I know of 17:30 cool 17:31 shall we have a look at the teams which need restaffing next year? 17:31 dholbach: I can send out invite emails to all of them once you've double checked the dates 17:31 ifyou want to give me an action for that 17:31 mhall119, awesome - thanks! 17:31 looks ok to me 17:31 #action mhall119 to invite teams after we checked dates for collisions 17:31 * meetingology mhall119 to invite teams after we checked dates for collisions 17:32 great 17:32 #topic Restaffing teams in 2016 17:32 maybe we can take a look look at the teams in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-council-teams/+members and see which need restaffing in 2016 and make a list 17:33 so I know that the LoCo Council needs to be concluded, they have nominees already we just need to go through them 17:33 maybe we just put them all in a pad 17:33 http://pad.ubuntu.com/9sK41pmNjL 17:33 ok, adding LoCo Council 17:34 Kubuntu Council just recently restaffed, I think everybody there is good for another year 17:34 kubuntu council is set for at least 1 year 17:34 right 17:36 sgclark, looking at https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-council/+members#active - could it be that some of the folks need their expiry date updated? 17:36 sgclark, it was a election of the full Kubuntu Council, right? 17:38 it looks like three IRCC seats expire next month 17:38 it was an election of replacements of those we lost 17:38 https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-irc-council/+members#active 17:38 sgclark, ok, thanks 17:39 http://pad.ubuntu.com/9sK41pmNjL updated 17:39 it looks like some busy next 2 months :-) 17:40 yes indeed 17:40 I'm happy to mail all the teams with instructions and dates, so we can get the processes started. 17:40 IRC and Forums we should open up for nominations soon 17:40 yep 17:40 what's the process for restaffing the TB? 17:40 are we involved in that at all? 17:41 ~ubuntu-dev members can vote 17:41 I don think so, the TB has different rules 17:41 that's what I thought too, but we can help spread the call for nominations 17:41 we at least list them here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/Restaffing 17:42 they won't mind a reminder from us :) 17:42 heh 17:42 :) 17:43 all right... I'll send a couple of mails :) 17:43 #action dholbach to mail teams about upcoming restaffings 17:43 * meetingology dholbach to mail teams about upcoming restaffings 17:44 do we have any other subjects we want to discuss? 17:45 at some stage I think it'd be good to talk about team reports... I know I've been doing an awful job of updating https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil/TeamReports 17:45 pleia2 took care of them quite often 17:45 I wonder if other teams are still using them or if we check them for things like the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter 17:46 honestly I haven't heard anybody talking about team reports in a long time 17:46 yeah, I know 17:46 perhaps this is a good question to ask the teams 17:47 hggdh, you mean during the catchup with the team? 17:47 yes, this would be the prefect moment, I think 17:47 yep, I agree 17:47 *perfect 17:47 maybe we can also discuss it on the ubuntu-community-team@ list to see how people feel about it 17:47 and maybe we can even give them a bit more visibility and make them more useful again 17:48 dholbach: indeed it would geve a broader visibility 17:48 +1 for discussing in the ML, since team reports are the responsibility of more than just the leaders of the teams we'll be meeting with 17:48 I did not even know about them, so that sounds good, visibility.. 17:48 does anyone want to start the discussion on the mailing list? 17:49 does anyone want to update our team reports page with a link to the meeting log and everything? :) 17:49 since I dn't know anything about them, I have to decline :( 17:49 fair enough :) 17:49 no worries... I can mail the list - it should be quick to do 17:50 #action dholbach to start a conversation on the list about team reports 17:50 * meetingology dholbach to start a conversation on the list about team reports 17:50 about updating our team reports page, I guess that would be a good place for me to start learning about them, ? trying to do ours? lol 17:51 sounds good... I was very close to agreeing to do it, but I can't seem to log into the wiki :) 17:51 well I would like to be useful, seems that is a good place to start. 17:51 #action sgclark to update the team report for this meeting 17:51 * meetingology sgclark to update the team report for this meeting 17:51 thanks a lot sgclark 17:52 let me know if I can help 17:52 #topic Any other business 17:52 will do 17:52 awesome 17:52 does anyone have anything else to discuss? 17:52 not right now from me, still learning the ropes 17:53 yeah, is there a place hidden on the web that outlines our full responsibilities? 17:53 yeah... this was our get-the-cycle-started meeting, which is a bit different from the others :) 17:53 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncil and the pages linked from there is what I can think of 17:53 let me see if there's more on community.u.c 17:54 * balloons pokes his head in just to say hello and welcome to all the new CC members! 17:54 read that, not really clear on my role yet though hah. 17:54 there are some bits on http://community.ubuntu.com/community-structure/ and http://community.ubuntu.com/community-structure/governance/ but not too much 17:55 I assumed we all wore robes and lorded around, ruling with an iron fist ;) 17:55 ahh that looks useful thanks 17:55 lol 17:55 mhall119 and czajkowski can correct me if I'm wrong, but to me the largest part of the responsibilities on the CC was "being there for others" - when other teams had issues and needed help, either for a resolution or getting to know somebody who could help, that's what the CC did a lot 17:56 dholbach: that's how I've always viewed the team 17:56 and hugs! 17:56 marcoceppi, I'd like to see a picture of you with a robe and your iron fist before I post mine... 17:56 balloons, right :-) 17:56 balloons: hugs are always good :-) 17:56 * dholbach hugs you all 17:56 dholbach: it's become that by virtue of the fact that most other responsibilities have been delegates to those others 17:56 * hggdh gives out a collective hug 17:56 I can do hugs. my specialty 17:57 what a great start of the new CC :-) 17:57 I would like to see the CC become more pro-active in some areas though 17:57 yes 17:57 particularly in growing Membership and LoCo team activities 17:58 yes +1 mhall119 17:58 I'll bring that up more in our hangout next week though :) 17:58 the community is not quite as healthy as it once was, I would like to attempt to address that. 17:58 shall we start separate discussions about that? we could use the ubuntu-community-team list ... or brainstorm in a hangout first, yes, sounds good 17:58 brainstorm first 17:59 cool 17:59 let's do a hangout first, to get a feel for what we all want to do with our roles in the CC 17:59 yeah 17:59 sgclark: ys, we cannot try to address whar we do not understand 17:59 all right... I'll have to run in a bit - the family is in town and it's dinner time :) 17:59 right 17:59 * hggdh is going thru a real bad keybor experience tody 17:59 any topics from anybody outside the CC? 17:59 also, there'a another meeting starting in 1 min here 18:00 18:00 I have a bad keyboard experience everyday! 18:00 ok... let's wrap it then 18:00 thanks a lot everyone! 18:00 #endmeeting
