12:15 <meetingology> Meeting started at 12:15:04 UTC.  The chair is lucyllewy.  Information about MeetBot at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology
12:15 <meetingology> Available commands: action, commands, idea, info, link, nick
12:15 <lucyllewy> welcome welcome one and all. hold your horses until you're called, and here comes a big paste for the intro:
12:15 <lucyllewy> Hello and welcome to the Ubuntu Membership Review Board meeting for 19th of June 2024. The wiki page for the Review Boards is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/Boards
12:15 <lucyllewy> We will attempt to get through all the applicants that have added themselves to that list, or posted a thread to the Ubuntu Discourse, before today's meeting. If we are unable to make it through the complete list due to time constraints, then at the next meeting we will pick up where we left off.
12:15 <lucyllewy> The format for the meeting is as follows: We will go through the list of applicants one by one, by date of application (FIFO).
12:15 <lucyllewy> Each applicant should introduce themselves (1-5 sentences) and provide links to their Ubuntu Wiki page or Ubuntu Discourse thread. After the introduction, the members of the Membership Review Board will review the pages and, if needed, ask the applicant further questions.
12:15 <lucyllewy> 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 reading wiki/launchpad/forum/other pages and deciding how they are going to vote.
12:15 <lucyllewy> 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 most of the voting board members vote +1, then the applicant is now an official Ubuntu member! (Feel free congratulate them!)
12:15 <lucyllewy> Now, with any further ado, let's get started with the first applicant...
12:16 <lucyllewy> First up, we have Soumyadeep Ghosh (soumyadghosh). Hello, could you please introduce yourself to the board, and share the links to your membership application post and launchpad profile

12:20 <soumyadghosh> Namaskar everyone, my name is Soumyadeep Ghosh, from Bengal, India. My Ubuntu Journey started on around 2020, where I just fell in love with the ease of use and the interface of the OS. Later, while I started deep diving about the underlying technologies used in Ubuntu, I get to know about snaps. And from there my contributions to Ubuntu started,
