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. 12:55 <hggdh> The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO). 12:55 <hggdh> 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. 12:55 <hggdh> 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. 12:55 <hggdh> 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 the sum of those numbers is positive, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (feel free congratulate them!) 12:55 <hggdh> (sorry, I am just logging in, waiting for my browser to start) 12:55 <cjohnston> s/July 4, 2013/July 17. 2013 just for the log :-) 12:55 <hggdh> bah 12:55 <cjohnston> and s/2200/1200 12:55 <cjohnston> :-) 12:56 <Destine> clear 12:56 <hggdh> yep, tried to be quickly fast, messed up, sorry 12:56 <Destine> sorry for that. 12:56 <hggdh> so, anyway, let's get started. mzanetti -- you are on 12:57 <hggdh> mzanetti: please introduce yourself, with links for you LP and Wiki pages 12:57 <hggdh> . 12:58 <iulian> idle : 0 days 14 hours 33 mins 31 secs 12:58 <iulian> I don't think he's around. 12:58 <hggdh> yeah 12:58 <hggdh> OK. eliasps -- you are on.

Ubuntistas is available for free of course, at Ubuntu Software Center. ubuntistas.ubuntu-gr.org 13:00 <eliasps> I try to participate in testing Ubuntu for bugs. I have installed Ubuntu 13.10 and currently trying out Mir display server. 13:00 <eliasps> I keep myself updated for any tests that needs to be done. 13:00 <eliasps> My main goal is to continue providing support to everyone in need inside and outside of the forums, keep promoting FOSS and especially Ubuntu in Greece and encourage new members to get involved as well. 13:00 <eliasps> Today, I am in a daily contact with other activelly contributing members of our community and we are constantly trying to improve and expand our community's projects.
