Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology 20:09 Available commands: action, commands, idea, info, link, nick 20:10 🤦🏻‍♀️ 20:10 Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board meeting for 6 November 2025. The wiki page for the Review Boards is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards 20:10 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. 20:10 The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). 20:10 Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and 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. 20:10 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. 20:10 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!) 20:10 Now, with any further ado, let's get started with the first applicant… 20:10 @AadityaSingh can you please introduce yourself to the board, present your prepared statement, and share the links to your application post and launchpad profile. 20:11 sorry about the confusion there... forgot to trigger the meeting bot first time around :P 20:12 I am Aaditya Singh, a recent undergraduate from Kathmandu, Nepal. I am the community lead of the Ubuntu Nepal local community and local team lead for the UbuCon Asia 2025. 20:12 I was a keynote speaker at UbuCon Asia 2025 and also gave a talk at UbuCon Asia 2024. 20:12 It has been more than one year since I have been instructing and providing sessions to the students on open source, Ubuntu, and GNOME. To date, I have delivered sessions and talks on open source to over 2,000 people. 20:12 I am also the community lead of GNOME Nepal and a GNOME Foundation member. 20:12 The link to my application post in discourse is : https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/aaditya-singh-membership-application/71125 20:12 The link to my launchpad profile is: https://launchpad.net/~younggunner14 20:13 thankyou. I'll let the board members review the provided links and formulate questions. I have one question to begin with that we need to ask every applicant: 20:13 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? 20:14 Yes. I do agree to follow the code of conduct and bound by the terms. 20:15 How much of your time do you think you spend promoting, contributing and talking about Ubuntu verses Gnome and other open source projects? 20:17 I see lots of good supporting testimonies. however, I don't see any links to verify your activities, would you be able to share those for the board to peruse? 20:17 It does go like verses. Because Ubuntu is what I am using to promote the open source literacy in my home country. Even when I am providing sessions of GNOME and its extensions etc. Ubuntu is the preferred distro used due to its beginner friendly nature. 20:17 Most of the students are beginners. SO, this is how I go with it: Introduce them on Open source. then on linux. Then on distro. Then hop to Ubuntu and provide session on it. Make them get used to it, both the cli and the gui side. then show them the Desktop environment which is GNOME 20:18 Okay let me send some links. Give me some seconds. 20:19 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-nepals-first-official-meetup-after-reboot-focus-on-ubucon-asia-2025/54371 20:19 Thank, good plan 20:19 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-nepals-first-training-session-completed-successfully/54517 20:19 would you say, therefore, that your use of Ubuntu is incidental? 20:20 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-nepal-s-meet-with-the-contributors-series-first-session-by-felipe-borges/54946 20:21 No, it isn't incidental. I am a ubuntu user right from even before the sessions. The first linux distro that I used was Ubuntu, which was in case incidental haha. I didn't had much knowledge then and Wanted to try linux. Then fromt that time, I have been a ubuntu user. 20:21 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/git-github-session-ubuntu-nepals-session-in-sandbox-hackathon-event/55357 20:22 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-nepal-x-sandbox-fostering-innovation-and-inclusion-at-a-national-level-hackathon/57436 20:22 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-nepals-meetup-for-ubucon-asia-2025/58789 20:22 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-nepals-meetup-for-ubucon-asia-2025/59555 20:22 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/successful-training-session-by-ubuntu-nepal-in-collaboration-with-gnome-nepal/61750 20:23 These are some of the works that we are doing through Ubuntu Nepal Loco 20:24 https://2025.ubucon.asia/ 20:25 And UbuCon Asia 2025 was the largest Ubuntu related conference in Nepal.
