Looks like attendance might be sparse for this CC meeting, it conflicts with OS-Con :) 17:04:55 #topic IRC Council Checkup 17:05:01 sabdfl's talk is over, I watched it ;) 17:05:21 First we usually start with the council checkups -- Who from the IRC council is here? :) 17:05:26 me 17:05:45 Pici is too 17:06:05 \o 17:06:12 Well then, hello to you both :) 17:06:18 welcome Pici and AlanBell 17:06:35 Tm_T might also be around 17:06:44 Howdy 17:06:57 so, anything in particular you would like us to cover? 17:08:29 AlanBell, first of all, you've been awesome. 17:08:38 Well, the usual thing we like to do is find out if we're overlooking anything as well 17:08:50 :) 17:08:58 Such as opportunities for the CC to smooth things over with other groups/canonical 17:09:06 Yes, I will second that as well - awesome work AlanBell 17:09:13 so maybe I could run through some stuff since the last checkup 17:09:29 yes, please do. 17:09:50 we have a new batch of operators from when we processed all the queues 17:10:23 I arranged some training sessions for them this afternoon for next thursday and the week after 17:10:41 this was a bit later than planned, but we have been busy with other stuff too 17:10:43 We're also trialing a new on-topic Ubuntu centric discussion channel. 17:11:11 we went through an election process and filled the 5th seat on the council and are really happy to have tm_t as the new council member 17:11:32 he has an 18 month term so we all expire at the same time 17:12:01 yes, the new #ubuntu-discuss channel has been set up 17:12:18 Pici: AlanBell how "noisy" is #ubuntu-discuss these days? 17:12:39 * YokoZar wonders if such a general chat concept can hold given enough growth 17:12:45 it could be a little noisier, there have been a number of interesting and productive discussions there 17:12:47 YokoZar: Not as busy as we had hoped, but we're still trying to nurture it. 17:13:14 it might not work out, but the only way to find out is to try it 17:13:25 I saw some plans to help people become more aware of alternate avenues of getting help -- like ask.ubuntu.com -- how is that going? 17:14:05 well those are certainly places we point people 17:14:30 including people who for whatever reason don't seem to be able to work constructively in the IRC environment 17:14:55 We added askubuntu to our 'other places to ask' factoid a while ago. 17:15:22 * cprofitt likes factoids 17:15:23 And more recently, I've noticed more helpers suggest links from it as solutions. 17:15:49 * YokoZar remembers a discussion with someone about how this and that distro had more people "ready to help in IRC" than Ubuntu. I noted it was probably just a lack of alternative places to go. 17:16:39 if I may? 17:16:45 I give big kudos to folks that help in #ubuntu, there is a lot of volume in that chanel 17:16:46 Of course 17:16:50 IdleOne: always 17:16:52 There was some talk in #ubuntuforums about where they should do support if any and where they should send users looking for non forums type support. #ubuntu-beginners was one of the channels being thought of. I suggested that perhaps #ubuntu would be better because -beginners is not very busy. The stsaint and I mentioned it in the -ops-team channel so the rest of the team could be aware of what was going on 17:16:55 we also put together https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/SupportersGuide as a guide for helpers 17:17:34 so, yeah we as a team need to start mentioning the forums and askubuntu a little more perhaps. 17:17:34 very nice wiki page AlanBell 17:19:06 AlanBell: nice work 17:20:09 Are you planning on making improvements in any other areas? Are there areas you need the assistance of the CC with? 17:21:32 I think we are OK for now, it was good to work with the CC for the election of Tm_T, but I don't think there is anything specific coming up that we need assistance with 17:23:02 I can't think of anything right now either. 17:24:38 All right, perhaps we should move on then 17:24:42 I was thinking of encouraging some more of our operators to apply for the next UDS 17:24:48 Great work guys -- thank you. 17:25:09 Speaking of UDS... 17:25:54 anything else? 17:25:58 * YokoZar is still a bit unsure of if the mechanics of it have been settled. 17:26:17 thanks czajkowski cprofitt YokoZar o/ 17:26:38 You are most welcome AlanBell -- a big thank you to the IRC Council and all the IRC OPs 17:26:59 yay, our ops are awesome 17:27:17 :) I'll take that compliment 17:27:23 #topic Fixed Agenda Items -- Review last team report 17:27:29 our irc council is aawesome too 17:27:34 -a 17:28:05 :) 17:28:19 * YokoZar looks over last team reports 17:29:41 seems none was made for last meeting, but there is still an open question of the RT ticket with the forums. Best to followup on email I think unless that's settled 17:30:45 #topic Fixed Agenda Items -- Update team report 17:31:04 Moving on, I need a cc volunteer to do the standard wiki page updates 17:33:31 YokoZar, am updating the reports, at least linking the logs one are ready 17:33:40 can update the wiki page too to reflect that 17:34:04 Excellent Gwaihir :) 17:34:05 we need to send out emails to the LoCo Council about next catch up 17:34:10 czajkowski, ^^ 17:35:03 consider it done. 17:35:09 Gwaihir: that for the 2nd of August? 17:35:41 czajkowski, yep, as long as we do not go on holidays :-) 17:36:00 no holidays are the following week for me :) 17:36:09 Ok, if Gwaihir is doing the wiki stuff and czajkowski is doing the reminder mail, then I think we done except for picking a next chair 17:36:09 a whole 9 days off irc! 17:36:38 which, honestly, we might as well do 2 minutes before the meeting as usual :D 17:36:50 YokoZar: or pick on beuno :) 17:37:00 YokoZar, it is funnier :-) 17:37:12 I agree with volunteering beuno :D 17:37:28 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
