20:22 <seb128> the request seems reasonable so maybe we just need to vote? 20:22 <sil2100> We can, but I didn't read it! Yet 20:23 <seb128> sil2100, but thanks, let me add an action to review and call for a vote? 20:23 <seb128> #action sil2100 to review the lubuntu LTS participation request and follow up as appropriate (question or call for vote) 20:23 * meetingology sil2100 to review the lubuntu LTS participation request and follow up as appropriate (question or call for vote) 20:23 <tsimonq2> I'm happy to answer any questions here or at a later point about Lubuntu's application. :) 20:23 <seb128> sil2100, ^ sounds fine? 20:24 <sil2100> Looks fine o/ Are you and amurray ready to vote as is? 20:24 <amurray> yes 20:24 <seb128> I want to read the emails again since I only glanced over them but it feels like it is ready 20:25 <seb128> let's just do a call for vote on the list rather than trying to do it here today 20:25 <seb128> did any of you had questions here today for tsimonq2 since he joined the meeting for us? 20:25 <sil2100> I'm leaving it up to you. I'd like someone to do a proper review of it - if someone already did it, I'm fine with voting 20:26 <seb128> no need to rush I would say 20:26 <amurray> no, his email is very detailed and covers everything I would have wanted to know 20:26 <seb128> you have an action item 20:26 <seb128> we can call for vote on the list once you have reviewed it 20:26 <seb128> no question from me either 20:26 <sil2100> Ok o/ 20:27 <seb128> tsimonq2, no question it seems but thanks for taking the time to join the meeting in case we had some 20:27 <seb128> #topic Check up on community bugs and techboard bugs 20:27 <tsimonq2> Hey, one more thing on this topic, briefly... 20:27 <seb128> tsimonq2, sure? 20:28 <seb128> (no activity on the community bugs and techboard bugs) 20:28 <tsimonq2> Actually, two, sorry. I noted lack of cooperation generally speaking on that email, and I've seen a drastic change for the better. I still have some (genuine) questions around the SRU Team given recent events, but I'm planning a postmorteum on virtualbox anyway. 20:29 <tsimonq2> Also, I appointed Aaron and Dan as assistant release managers, there's no direct action required from the TB, but a "hey we see this" would be great. :) 20:29 <rbasak> Well I asked and was told that no response was expected? 20:30 <tsimonq2> Yes :) I'm glad you saw it, just making a general point to it. 20:30 <tsimonq2> Anyway, those are the points I have, happy to answer any questions. 20:30 <seb128> I'm not aware the SRU team situation you are referencing to but it doesn't seem to be a TB topic at this point? 20:31 <seb128> aware of* 20:31 <rbasak> I'm not sure either. 20:32 <tsimonq2> My general point is, asking for requalification is a two-way agreement. We are happy to provide support for Lubuntu, the only reason I brought it up is to ensure we have support on the other side to be able to move the needle forward. 20:32 <seb128> tsimonq2, and I've seen the email about the assistant release managers :-) 20:32 <tsimonq2> seb128: thanks :) 20:32 <seb128> ok, so seems there is no question/action there but thanks for mentioning those! 20:32 <tsimonq2> Yes of course :) 20:32 <seb128> #topic Select a chair for the next meeting (next from https://launchpad.net/~techboard/+members) 20:33 <rbasak> I wonder if there's an opportunity to be talking more via the flavour syncs or something similar 20:33 <vorlon> I promise I'll be here in time for the next one so you can keep me as chair ;) 20:33 <seb128> next in the list is Steve and Lukasz as backup 20:33 <rbasak> Because I'm seeing noises, but without specifics, I'm not in a position to be able to help at all. 20:33 <seb128> vorlon, hey, and thanks! 20:35 <seb128> rbasak, yes, the flavor syncs is a good venue for project discussions with flavor 20:35 <seb128> flavors 20:35 <tsimonq2> As far as I'm aware, the TB has an open invite to the Flavor Syncs. If you talk to the Community Team (specifically ilvipero_), he should be able to get you an invite. 20:35 <seb128> #topic AOB 20:35 <rbasak> Please do arrange for the SRU team and/or TB to be invited if there's a specific agenda item you have in mind that you'd like to discuss 20:36 <tsimonq2> Absolutely, just finishing with my notes on this one. Thanks :) 20:36 <seb128> I usually try to join at least the European tz compatible meeting and I think sil2100 has been to some of those as well 20:37 <rbasak> I'm not aware of having been invited recently 20:37 <tsimonq2> That sounds like a mistake to me :) 20:37 <seb128> I think it's an open venue, ask Mauro to be added to the calendar invite if you wish to join 20:38 <seb128> I usually join as a desktop representative, afaik we didn't have any formal request to have TB members there before 20:38 <seb128> but I think we should at least review the invite list according to the topics on the agenda 20:39 <seb128> that's not a meeting the TB own though, but I will still try to ensure we invite the right people 20:39 <NotEickmeyer> Just pinged the appropriate people to get you all invites. :) 20:39 <seb128> :) 20:39 <Eickmeyer> My IRC client with issues. :) 20:39 <rbasak> Thanks! 20:39 <seb128> ok, I think that should be enough for that topic then 20:40 <seb128> another other topic? 20:40 <seb128> giving 3 min and if not then it's a wrap 20:41 <tsimonq2> rbasak: I understand it's an action item, but an additional poke on the DMB inactivity stuff :) 20:41 <amurray> nothing from me 20:41 <tsimonq2> I did get frightened for a minute at Aaron's MOTU meeting. 20:41 * tsimonq2 is good 20:42 <rbasak> tsimonq2: I've not been focused on that because it's usually worked out recently 20:42 <rbasak> If people start getting near the threshold then I'll definitely prioritise that 20:42 <tsimonq2> Okay :) 20:43 <seb128> alright, seems we are done then 20:43 <rbasak> Also it was very close to the New Year and I'd expect some disruption/unavailability around then. 20:43 <tsimonq2> Very true. 20:43 <seb128> thanks everyone!! 20:43 <seb128> let's wrap? 20:43 <rbasak> The plans won't change that since it's only sustained absence that would be actionable 20:44 <tsimonq2> I'm okay wrapping, I believe we're on the same page. 20:44 <seb128> ok, it's a wrap then, thanks everyone! 20:44 <sil2100> Yeah, I need to apologize for missing out many DMB meetings lately 20:45 <seb128> #endmeeting
