[18:03] <belkinsa> [18:03] <Kilos> hi PaulW2U 
[18:03] <belkinsa> So, let's start.
[18:03] <PaulW2U> Hello all
[18:03] <belkinsa> Who has a question?
[18:05] --> _micah68 (3fe6bc62@gateway/web/cgi-irc/kiwiirc.com/ip.63.230.188.9 has joined this channel.
[18:05] <belkinsa> Anyone?
[18:06] <Kilos> belkinsa how was this event advertised
[18:06] --> howefield (~howefield@pdpc/supporter/active/howefield) has joined this channel.
[18:06] <belkinsa> Just via mailing-list and my blog post.  It was a short notice.
[18:07] <Kilos> maybe next meeting we must first mail all the loco lists so people will know about this session
[18:07] <belkinsa> I wll try to do better next time.
[18:07] <Kilos> hi howefield 
[18:07] <belkinsa> Okay
[18:07] <_micah68> I'm not seeing any video. Should I be?
[18:08] <belkinsa> No, all text-based/
[18:08] <Kilos> also we need to try get feedback from locos about people that would like to attend
[18:08] <Kilos> timezone issues
[18:08] <belkinsa> _micah68: this is a text-based QA session for the membership board/proccess
[18:08] <Kilos> _micah68 we cant all do video
[18:08] <_micah68> Okay, well I'm very interested in applying for membership!
[18:09] <_micah68> My understanding is that there is some application, can anyone point me to a link?
[18:09] <belkinsa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership
[18:09] <belkinsa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/NewMember
[18:09] <_micah68> I also understand that some measure of contribution to Ubuntu is needed. I am the developer of Panpipe, a Pandora radio client for Unity 8.
[18:10] <_micah68> Is that legit enough to be considered for membership?
[18:10] <belkinsa> May we see your wiki page on Ubuntu wiki?
[18:11] <_micah68> I don't think I have one....
[18:11] <_micah68> I do have an Ubuntu One account (needed for releasing my app to the store)
[18:11] <belkinsa> Then you need to create one.
[18:11] * belkinsa is looking for the template
[18:12] <Kilos> belkinsa give him your wiki page as an example
[18:12] <belkinsa> Sure.
[18:12] <belkinsa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/belkinsa
[18:12] <belkinsa> You can use mine as an example.
[18:13] <_micah68> Cool, I'll set that up soon.
[18:13] <belkinsa> Cool, I can help with the formating.
[18:14] <Kilos> _micah68 and a launchpad account
[18:14] <_micah68> I'm pretty sure I have a launchpad account, but I'm not active on there. I do my development on Github.
[18:14] <belkinsa> And also you need to join the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-etherpad to edit the wiki
[18:15] <belkinsa> You have our witness that you are a person
[18:16] <_micah68> Looks like I'm on the ubuntu-ehterpad team already
[18:16] <Kilos> zaki we are here
[18:16] <howefield> hey Kilos [18:16] <belkinsa> _micah68: good.
[18:16] <belkinsa> zaki: o/, do you have an questions.  howefield too.
[18:17] <zaki> hi everyone.
[18:17] <Kilos> belkinsa zaki is in pavlushkas area
[18:17] <Kilos> pavel seems to be sleep
[18:17] <belkinsa> I know.
[18:20] <_micah68> So once I have my wiki setup with a testimonial then I just need to put my name on the agenda for the next board meeting that I can attend?
[18:20] <_micah68> Are board meetings done over Hangouts? How do I attend? IRC?
[18:20] <belkinsa> _micah68: may I see it
[18:20] <belkinsa> It's all via IRC, not Hangouts
[18:21] <belkinsa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards
[18:21] <_micah68> belkinsa, I don't have one setup. I'm asking for when I have it setup
[18:21] <belkinsa> _micah68: I would advise e-mailing me at belkinsa@ubuntu.com for what you have and I will look at it
[18:22] <_micah68> belkinsa: will do!
[18:22] <belkinsa> Thanks you.
[18:22] <belkinsa> thank*
[18:22] <belkinsa> You can cc it to Kilos.
[18:22] <belkinsa> Kilos, what is your e-mail.
[18:23] <Kilos> msdomdonner@ubuntu.com
[18:23] <belkinsa> Thanks Kilos.
[18:24] <Kilos> _micah68 your actually application is done on #ubuntu-meeting
[18:24] <belkinsa> Kilos means: that we lookj at yours in #buntu-meeting during our meeting hours.
[18:25] <belkinsa> look*
[18:25] <Kilos> yeah that
[18:25] <Kilos> ty belkinsa 
[18:25] <belkinsa> Sorry, I thought what you said wasn't clear, Kilos.  [18:25] <Kilos> i realised it after i read it as well belkinsa 
[18:26] <zaki> mine is zaki2395@gmail.com
[18:26] <belkinsa> For example: our next one is today at 20 UTC and 22 UTC.  But we would like to have a 24 hour in advance.
[18:26] <Kilos> belkinsa we must try advise applicants to use the 20.00 and 22.00 timeslots
[18:27] <belkinsa> But isn't there is a 24 hour advance thing in place?
[18:27] <Kilos> the midday one is difficult to get quorum
[18:27] <belkinsa> AH, I see.
[18:28] <zaki> how can i create my ubuntu wiki page
[18:28] <zaki> 1st step?
[18:28] <belkinsa> zaki: you first need a launchpad account, then a request to join the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-etherpad team
[18:28] <_micah68> Kilo: what exactly did you mean that my application is done on #ubuntu-meeting? I'm assuming that's the IRC channel where the meeting happens. So I put myself on the agenda and make sure to show up on that channel, right?
[18:29] <belkinsa> Yes.
[18:29] <Kilos> correct
[18:29] <belkinsa> zaki: you have our witness that you are a person
[18:30] <zaki> https://launchpad.net/~zaki2395 this is my lunchpad account
[18:30] <belkinsa> zaki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/NewMember#Personal_wiki_page
[18:31] <belkinsa> We also have a best pratices page for advice: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/BestPractices
[18:32] <zaki> seen this one
[18:32] <belkinsa> Which one, the new member page?
[18:33] <belkinsa> I added an action item for updating that section of that page.
[18:33] <zaki> yp, the new member page
[18:35] <Kilos> zaki try get pavel and NaSb to work with you and you all do it together
[18:35] <belkinsa> Yes, that I was thinking too.
[18:37] <zaki> hmm.
[18:40] <belkinsa> Any more questions and personal wiki pages to show?
[18:40] <belkinsa> and/or*
[18:43] <Kilos> belkinsa is there a way to explain that applying for membership is via launchpad , wiki pages and irc when you guys are on hangouts etc
[18:44] <belkinsa> What do you mean?
[18:44] <Kilos> well everyone in the modern world uses hangouts and facebook
[18:45] <belkinsa> Ah, I don't know.
[18:45] <belkinsa> Action item?
[18:45] <Kilos> but both of them dont help anyone get membership
[18:45] <belkinsa> Maybe we need to bring it via mailing-list
[18:46] <Kilos> yes but the peeps on the hangouts etc need to be advised
[18:46] <Kilos> im not sure if hangouts use lists as well
[18:47] <belkinsa> How to word this action item... Kilos can you word it?
[18:47] <Kilos> for mailing list?
[18:48] <Kilos> all these new things
[18:48] <belkinsa> Does it sound better?
[18:49] <belkinsa> How does it sound*
