Does it all explode? 20:32 <AlanBell> at that meeting we can count up the nominations and figure out what happens next 20:32 <phunyguy> What are the requirements for an IRCC seat? 20:33 <IdleOne> need to be an ubuntu member 20:33 <topyli> phunyguy: you must be an ubuntu member, that's it iirc 20:33 <AlanBell> phunyguy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/IrcCouncil 20:33 <phunyguy> ah. Ok then. 20:33 <IdleOne> and it should be cushioned 20:33 <IdleOne> I refuse to sit on a hard seat 20:33 <phunyguy> (That page said everyone is welcome to apply) 20:33 <AlanBell> and nominate yourself, and not be pruned by the CC 20:34 <topyli> and get people to vote for you 20:34 <topyli> childsplay! 20:34 <IdleOne> a lot like US presidential elections if you think about it 20:34 <AlanBell> phunyguy: yeah, it does, but it also lists the requirements Ubuntu membership (Essential) 20:35 <phunyguy> yep i see it now. 20:35 <IdleOne> AlanBell: +1 on scheduling a meeting for next Saturday 20:35 <AlanBell> ok, anything else to discuss right now? 20:36 <AlanBell> #endmeeting
