Carry that one over please, and I'll chase as needed. 19:12 <bdmurray> just for posterity - rbasak to announce slashd's new SRU-UPLOADERS team membership (done) 19:12 <bdmurray> sil2100 to finalize fossfreedom's application vote situation 19:12 <bdmurray> what's up with that? 19:12 <sil2100> bdmurray: that's more or less done now 19:12 <sil2100> I need to just send out the note 19:12 <sil2100> I poked infinity and got a final -1 vote from him 19:13 <sil2100> This means the application got rejected in the end - I'll send out an announcement to that today 19:13 <bdmurray> sil2100: okay 19:14 <bdmurray> I don't see any applications dated for today so 19:14 <bdmurray> [TOPIC] Expiring DMB members 19:14 <bdmurray> I sent out a call for nominations and received none 19:15 <bdmurray> Although sil2100 and micahg mentioned they didn't see the announcement. Is u-d-a the right place to send it? 19:15 <micahg> yes 19:15 <bdmurray> Not to put you on the spot but how did you miss it? 19:15 <sil2100> bdmurray: yes, I found it, got pushed to spam (?) on my gmail for unknown reasons 19:15 <micahg> too busy and mailbox full might have meant it got dropped 19:15 <rbasak> I wonder if everyone is assuming that someone else will apply. If we send out a second call, might that help? 19:16 <micahg> I motion that we extend cyphermox's membership to match infinity's membership expiration date and send out of a call at the beginning of July 19:16 <bdmurray> I don't see how things'll get better in July. 19:17 <rbasak> Do we need TB approval for that? 19:17 <bdmurray> IIRC we had a similar issue during the last election. 19:17 <bdmurray> The issue being very few candidates. 19:17 <rbasak> But I half agree with bdmurray - rather than postponing, perhaps we could continue to try to find replacements and extend cyphermox's term as needed until replacements are found? 19:17 <rbasak> Assuming cyphermox wants to continue that is. 19:17 <micahg> rbasak: we usually submit the results of the election to the TB for a final signoff, we could do that for this as well 19:18 <cyphermox> rbasak: I have just sent a self-nomination email 19:18 <rbasak> cyphermox: thanks! 19:18 <micahg> we're approaching the end of the cycle, I think people will be busy 19:18 <micahg> July is in the middle before feature freeze which should allow people a little more time to think about it 19:18 <cyphermox> I *did* miss the deadline though, so YMMV 19:18 <rbasak> micahg: I accept that. My point is that rather than pushing back to July, perhaps we should push back only as far as is necessary. 19:19 <micahg> startup in May again 19:19 <micahg> ? 19:20 <bdmurray> I don't think its gonna help, but we can just place private bets on that. 19:20 <micahg> we can try to run a social media campaign leading up to it maybe if someone has time 19:20 <micahg> 1-3 part series on life as a DMB member? 19:21 <cyphermox> ahah :) 19:22 <bdmurray> There are only 86 core devs, so a social media campaign seems like a bit much. 19:22 <micahg> MOTUs are allowed to run as well 19:23 <bdmurray> Well one of their "latest members" is sil2100 which must have been some time ago. 19:24 <bdmurray> Anyway, the proposal is to extend cyphermox's membership to end of May and send out a request for nominations in the beginning of that month? 19:24 <cyphermox> we haven't reviewed a MOTU application in quite a while 19:24 <micahg> well, it's an extra 50 people 19:26 <micahg> yeah, I think people have moved to more siloed rights instead of a broader focus, which is a mixed bag 19:26 <micahg> there's very little traffic in the MOTU channel 19:27 <micahg> Is there anyone focusing on the non-snap development community anymore? 19:30 <bdmurray> rbasak, cyphermox, sil2100: Are you happing with extending cyphermox's membership until the end of May and holding elections then? 19:31 <rbasak> No objection. 19:32 <cyphermox> bdmurray: no objection 19:35 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to get cyphermox's membership extended 19:35 * meetingology bdmurray to get cyphermox's membership extended 19:35 <bdmurray> [TOPIC] Outstanding mailing list requests to assign 19:36 <bdmurray> I think I saw a ping over the weekend 19:36 <rbasak> There were a couple I think 19:36 <rbasak> "Re-generate the list of my personal packageset" 19:36 <rbasak> "one more PPU package for ~mapreri" 19:36 <bdmurray> The one from happyaron? 19:36 <rbasak> Yep 19:37 <rbasak> Raphaël Pinson asking for core-dev reinstatement 19:38 <rbasak> "Please add xfdashboard to xubuntu packageset" 19:38 <rbasak> That's Feb 07 - did that ever get done? 19:38 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to look at ~mapreri's one more package 19:38 * meetingology bdmurray to look at ~mapreri's one more package 19:38 <bdmurray> rbasak: Can you do the re-gen? 19:38 <rbasak> OK 19:39 <rbasak> Uh 19:39 <rbasak> I'll sort it anyway 19:39 <rbasak> I don't think Aron has a personal packageset. 19:39 * bdmurray rbasak to sort Aron's request 19:40 * bdmurray bdmurray to add Raphaël Pinson back to core-dev 19:40 <bdmurray> [ACTION] rbasak to sort Aron's request 19:40 * meetingology rbasak to sort Aron's request 19:40 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to add Raphaël Pinson back to core-dev 19:40 * meetingology bdmurray to add Raphaël Pinson back to core-dev 19:42 <bdmurray> [ACTION] bdmurray to look into xfdashboard being in xubuntu packageset 19:42 * meetingology bdmurray to look into xfdashboard being in xubuntu packageset 19:42 <bdmurray> There I think we got them all 19:42 <cyphermox> actually, let me take care of xfdashboard, I'm already looking at the packageset code. 19:42 <bdmurray> okay 19:43 <bdmurray> [TOPIC] Any other business? 19:43 <rbasak> Thank you for chairing bdmurray 19:43 <cyphermox> I'm happy to chair next. 19:44 <bdmurray> cyphermox: noted, thanks 19:44 <bdmurray> Okay, I guess that's a wrap. 19:45 <bdmurray> Ask your friends to run in May though! 19:45 <bdmurray> #endmeeting
