The wiki page for the Review Boards is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards 20:01 Meeting started at 20:01:07 UTC. The chair is Wild_Man. Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology 20:01 Available commands: action, commands, idea, info, link, nick 20:01 You have signed the Code of Conduct. Do you affirm that you have read and understood the whole document, and do you agree to be bound by the terms for the duration of your membership should it be granted? 20:02 Yes I have read and understand the whole document and I agree to be bound 20:02 We will attempt to get through all the applicants that have added themselves to that list, or posted a thread to the Ubuntu Discourse, before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the complete list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off. 20:02 great 20:02 👍🏻 20:03 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 Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and 20:03 provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page or Ubuntu Discourse thread. After the introduction, the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions. 20:03 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 reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote. 20:04 When the board is ready to vote, they will publicly vote in the channel with either +1, 0, or -1 (for membership, abstain, and against membership, respectively). If most of the voting board members vote +1, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (Feel free congratulate them!) 20:04 Now, with any further ado, let's get started with the first applicant... 20:04 #topic andrew_46 20:05 So, first up we have andrew_46, could you please introduce yourself to the board, share your pre-written statement, and share the links to your wiki page and launchpad account… 20:06 Hi! I am commonly known as andrew.46 and I am here to apply for Ubuntu Membership. A membership I allowed to lapse some years ago 20:06 I have a Discourse application here: 20:06 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/andrew-strong-andrew-46-membership-application/49833 20:06 and a Launchpad page here: 20:07 https://launchpad.net/%7Eandrew-david-strong 20:07 I had a long history with the Ubuntu Forums where I wrote many guides and became a part of the Ubntu Community. 20:08 After some time away from that Community I returned to Ask Ubuntu where eventually I became a moderator 20:08 https://askubuntu.com/users/57576/andrew-46 20:08 And have worked there steadily for about 2 years 20:09 lapsed..? 😱 *insert Simpson's "that's a paddlin'" meme here (I'm being silly - really happy to see you reapply) 20:09 And my Forums id: 20:09 https://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=208550 20:10 Oops, more than 5 sentences :) 20:10 :P 20:10 lucyllewy: Thanks 20:11 you may have more than 5 sentences :) 20:11 we forgive 20:12 That is because you have a long history andrew_46 20:12 It has been many years now 20:12 yip, old member that went astray 20:12 huff. honestly. can't sum up two decades of work in 5 sentences? what is the world coming to :P 20:13 #voters Wild_Man Kilos Bashing-om lucyllewy fenris 20:13 Current voters: Bashing-om, Kilos, Wild_Man, fenris, lucyllewy 20:14 @andrew_ : mind to share whats your coming plan on contributing ? are you plan to contribute with other projects ? 20:15 fenris: I have a deep suspicion with the current turbulence on Ask Ubuntu that my focus will be there for the next few years 20:15 Specifically the trouble with the owning company and the arrival of AI 20:16 But I am retired and will be available for other work when this has settled down 20:17 That may take a while :) 20:17 andrew_46: http://www.andrews-corner.org/ubuntu/irssi.html - Is now updated to current ? 20:17 hoping that you have something that will help the community with the suspicion 20:18 Bashing-om: There should be a 404 on that one, I moved that one to the Ubuntu Forums I think a whle back? 20:18 can confirm.- it goes to 404 20:18 yip 20:18 andrew_46: Good works :D 20:19 I think there is not much Ubuntu material on that web site any more 20:21 Some became outdated, some went to the Forums and some went to the Ubuntu Community Wiki 20:22 andrew_46: Ubuntu Forums soon goes read only - any plans for your post maintenance ? 20:23 Bashing-om: I have been pretty inactive on the Forums for some time now.
