20:04 <Wild_Man> #startmeeting 20:00 UTC Membership Board Meeting 20:04 <meetingology> Meeting started at 20:04:58 UTC. The chair is Wild_Man. Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology 20:05 <meetingology> Available commands: action, commands, idea, info, link, nick 20:05 <Wild_Man> Hello and welcome to the Membership Board meeting! 20:05 <Wild_Man> 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. 20:05 <Wild_Man> 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). 20:05 <Wild_Man> 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. 20:05 <Wild_Man> 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. 20:07 <basenji> ready? 20:07 <Wild_Man> basenji, please introduce yourself 20:08 <basenji> I am Bernard Stafford 20:08 <Wild_Man> Provide links to your wiki and launchpad pages please 20:08 <basenji> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bernard%20Stafford https://launchpad.net/~bernard010 20:08 <Kilos> basenji thats a short intro 20:10 <basenji> I am excited to have an opportunity to become a Ubuntu Member.
