20:01 <ahoneybun> Hello and welcome to the Membership Board meeting!
20:02 <ahoneybun> 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.
20:02 <ahoneybun> 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).
20:02 <ahoneybun> 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.
20:02 <ahoneybun> 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.

20:06 <aldomann_> Hello, my name is Alfredo Hernández, I'm a studying physics and I've been involved in the Ubunut comunity for 7 years now (which is one third of my life, now that I think about it). My "real" involvement in open source projects started with elementary OS (I was heavily involved in the l10n process when they were just starting). Lately I've been an active member of the Ubuntu GNOME project, which is why I'm here
20:06 <aldomann_> here is my wiki page with a more detailed contribution history: Hello, my name is Alfredo Hernández, I'm a studying physics and I've been involved in the Ubunut comunity for 7 years now (man,

20:09 <elacheche_anis> No questions here.. aldomann_ you should try to get involved in the neirest loco.. It's good to meet and encourage people IRL
20:09 * ahoneybun saw that email
20:09 <ahoneybun> I work with mine
20:09 <Kilos> locos shouls support their members applying for membership
20:10 <ahoneybun> in fact we have a Ubuntu Hour this saturday
20:10 <ahoneybun> anywya
20:10 <aldomann_> well, I tried to join the Catalan team once
20:10 <ahoneybun> I like the logo for Ubuntu GNOME aldomann_
20:10 <ahoneybun> we have a few Ubuntu GNOME users in my loco
20:10 <aldomann_> and it was too much paperwork
20:11 <aldomann_> nice!
20:11 <Kilos> paperwork?
20:11 <ahoneybun> paper, work?
20:11 <Kilos> should be easy to join a loco
20:11 <elacheche_anis> aldomann_: We should talk about that "paperwork".. Maybe later.. There is too many LoCos issues that the boards may dig to know about them.. Anyway..
20:11 <aldomann_> yep, that's what I thought
20:11 <aldomann_> although it may have changed now
20:12 <ahoneybun> mm
20:12 <aldomann_> I've been in my personal crusade of converting everyone I know to linux, though :P
20:13 <elacheche_anis> Good aldomann_ :) That's the spirit :D
20:13 <aldomann_> which is terribly easy in the field of physics, Windows just sucks for it
