[00:11] <gnomefreak> Rinchen: jussi01 "runs" the bot
[00:13] <gnomefreak> Rinchen: ubottu updates every so often and if its added to fridge the bot will be updated, Cant remember how often but its fairly low intervals
[00:13] <Rinchen> gnomefreak, yeah so it's TZ calc is off apparently
[00:14] <gnomefreak> Rinchen: ah check with jussi01 or ask in -ops someone might beable to fix that
[00:14] <Rinchen> gnomefreak, I'll pass that on to someone on the Fridge team.  I'd do it but I'm getting ready to drop Launchpad for the release. :-)

[01:00] <pedro_> hello all
[01:01] <nixternal> [STARTMEETING]
[01:01] <effie_jayx> nhaines: you're up :)
[01:01] <viperhoot> :)
[01:01] <nhaines> My name is Nathan Haines.  I've been an Ubuntu enthusiast for 3 years and a member of the California LoCo since they reformed last Autumn.
[01:01] <nhaines> I became involved with Ubuntu in May 2005, when I realized that the project was serious, the community was friendly and strong, and the distro showed a lot of care and polish.  After 11 years of using Linux, I saw that Ubuntu could go very far and started advocating to friends, and filing bugs.
[01:01] <nhaines> Now I am very active on the LoCo team: creating assets (name badges and so forth), running booths, organizing events, and giving presentations in front of audiences.  Through polite and thoughtful advocacy, I have worked to increase awareness of Free Software and Ubuntu to others.
[01:01] <nhaines> My wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NathanHaines
[01:01] <Seeker`> nixternal: sorry bout the bot, will try to fix it soon
[01:01] <nhaines> My Launchpad profile: https://launchpad.net/~nhaines
[01:01] <nixternal> Seeker`: no prob...thanks :)
[01:02]  * BotenAnna edits nhaines' wiki with the facts he doesn't want you to know! :D
[01:02] <MagicFab> all: meeting minutes / people up for membership are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas
[01:02] <jcastro> I've observed nhaines run the Ubuntu booth at Lugradio Live USA and spent some time talking to him - I'd like to throw in 2 cents for a recommendation for membership!
[01:02] <atoponce> jcastro: thx
[01:02] <nhaines> Oh, not in the canned speech, but I was at SCaLE6x in February and at LRL in April as well.
[01:02] <Flannel> I am Neal Bussett, LoCo Lead of the California LoCo team, here to talk about Nathana.
[01:02] <Flannel> I have nothing but good things to say about Nathan, he has been an integral part of our LoCo team; we have organized and participated in a number of events together.  I don’t believe we’ve done anything significant that he hasn’t played a key role in.
[01:02] <nixternal> hehe, looks good....really diggin' that Ubuntu polo :)
[01:02] <Flannel> On a number of occasions he has taken over when I was unable to attend.  One of these was LUG Radio Live, which he manned single-handedly and did a wonderful job.
[01:03] <Flannel> He is a fine person and deserves Ubuntu Membership.  I know we'll see many good things because of him in the future.
[01:03] <effie_jayx> nhaines,  sounds like you have been having a blast at events
[01:03] <nhaines> nixternal: hehe, thanks.  :)
[01:03] <Flannel> Er, talk about Nathan.  No idea who Nathana is.
[01:03] <Technoviking> evening all
[01:03] <nhaines> The events have been awesome.  Location permitting, I bring my 3yo godson Michael along to do the GCompris presentations.
[01:03] <Technoviking> sorry I'm a couple minutes late
[01:03] <atoponce> Technoviking: welcome. :)
[01:03] <vorian> a lot of work with PyRoom i see, excellent
[01:04] <rolando-ve> hi everyone
[01:04] <nixternal> nhaines: how much packaging have you done? anything other than PyRoom (which is a hit I heard)
[01:04] <MagicFab> rolando-ve, :)
[01:04] <nhaines> PyRoom was my chance to jump in on a fresh project and help give some direction regarding project management and Bazaar branches.
[01:04] <nhaines> nixternal: I have only packaged PyRoom (and a couple personal things to test it out) but I hope to get PyRoom into intrepid and see if there's anything else I can help out with.
[01:04] <atoponce> nhaines: have you started with motu, or looking to go that route?
[01:04] <neskiem> hello everyone
[01:04] <BotenAnna> I'm not sure what-all my place as something of an outsider here is, but nhaines brought me back to Ubuntu and sold me on Python. He's pretty rad and knowing him irl, he practically eats and breathes Ubuntu :)
[01:05] <nhaines> I probably won't get so involved with MOTU, but I am going through REVU.  :)
[01:05] <nixternal> have I deleted one of your packages on REVU yet? :)
[01:05] <nhaines> nixternal: hehe, no, it's not suitable even for deletion yet, but I know it'll get there soon.  ;)
[01:06] <nixternal> jeesh, Cali sure has a lot of free software events going on
[01:06] <nhaines> It's a big hit on my PPA, though.
[01:06] <effie_jayx> nhaines,  so how do you plan to further your participation in the ubuntu project?
[01:06] <atoponce> all: Technoviking is part of the board, and will be approving/rejecting apps as well. we now have a body of 6
[01:06] <nhaines> I've found that public speeking is a huge amount of fun, and so I intend to continue doing events and will start signing up for presentations.
[01:07] <nhaines> I'm also working with California LoCo to see how we can handle more installfests.
[01:07] <effie_jayx> nhaines,  sounds cool... advocacy is definetelly fun
[01:07] <effie_jayx> +1 from me
[01:07] <_MMA_> +1
[01:07] <atoponce> i see a lot of sustained advocacy, as well as sustained activity on launchpad
[01:07] <atoponce> +1 here
[01:07] <vorian> +1 based on LoCo activity and overwhelming support
[01:07] <pedro_> count a +1 from me too

[01:08] <nixternal> oh noes, it is jcastro

[01:08] <viperhoot> congrats nhaines !!!!
[01:08] <MagicFab> atoponce, If there is time (end of meeting/approvals) I'd like to comment a possible process to evaluate memberships in spanish in the future
[01:09] <effie_jayx> is Asommer around?
[01:09] <ubuntuser> MagicFab, hehehe
[01:09] <atoponce> MagicFab: sounds good
[01:09] <nixternal> oh Adam Sommer, your turn
[01:09] <sommer> Hello, I'm Adam Sommer, I work as a Linux Sysadmin for a small college in North Carolina.
[01:09] <rolando-ve> MagicFab: Cool
[01:09] <sommer> I've been helping to update the Server Guide for the Gutsy and Hardy releases.  In doing so I've worked closely with both the Ubuntu Doc Team and Server Team.
[01:09] <nhaines> Thanks, all!  I'm sticking around but good luck to everyone else.  I'll be here cheering everyone on.  :)
[01:09] <sommer> My plan is to help keep the Server Guide up to date for each release and continue to help test the Server Edition.  Also, I'd like to learn more about packaging to hopefully help solve more bugs instead of just reporting them.
[01:09] <sommer> wiki link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Asommer
[01:09] <sommer> if that's in the right order :)
[01:10] <nixternal> I can provide some insight on just how much sommer has improved Ubuntu Documentation by working on the server guide, great job all around there!!!
[01:10] <sommer> nixternal: thanks
[01:10] <sommer> it was good times, heh
[01:11] <nixternal> actually, I think you are the only doc committer who is not an Ubuntu member iirc
[01:11] <atoponce> wow. i see very good sustained contributions here.
[01:11] <Technoviking> just consulted the server guide earlier today, great work on that
[01:11] <nixternal> ya, and for a while as well
[01:12] <mneptok> sommer: please keep in close touch with nijaba. i'm sure he appreciates your efforts.
[01:12] <nixternal> sommer: what are your plans for the future of Ubuntu?
[01:12] <j1mc> Adam helped me out on the Xubuntu docs quite a bit.  he did great work on the server docs, especially for the hardy cycle.
[01:12] <sommer> nixternal: for intrepid the big thing is Samba
[01:12] <nixternal> are you heading towards development at all?
[01:12] <sommer> nixternal: ya, I'd like to... time permitting that is
[01:12] <nixternal> sommer: no freakin' doubt! get it straight in Kubuntu while you are at it, and there is a cookie for ya :)
[01:12] <effie_jayx> ok, some good work and lots of people to back it up...

[01:29] <vorian> :P
[01:29] <viperhoot> vorian, you too :P
[01:29] <ogasawara> I work for Canonical as a Quality Assurance Engineer and my primary focus is on kernel bugs.  There still exists a lot of open kernel bugs and I'd like to see that number come down!
[01:29] <ogasawara> I'm also involved in other general QA related areas such as performing SRU verifications, participating in weekly Bug Days, ISO Testing, and working on developing projects which have been generated from Ubuntu specs.

[01:30] <nixternal> no doubt
[01:30] <effie_jayx> ogasawara,  impressive karma
[01:30] <ogasawara> there's a lot of kernel bug out there :)

[01:30] <pedro_> she's great ;-)
[01:31] <cody-somerville> ogasawara, Did I meet you at UDS?
[01:31] <nixternal> I can't believe that bug karma in such a short period of time
[01:31] <atoponce> this is an impressive application. lots of work, solid karma... what to pick on? :)
[01:31] <effie_jayx> fastrack approval guys

[01:31] <pedro_> come on...
[01:31] <nixternal> only question I could come up with :p

[01:34] <neskiem> Hello/Weytk-p, My name is Neskie Manuel.  I'm Secwepemc from BC.  I'm planning on improving North American Indigenous language support for Debian/Ubuntu.
[01:34] <ubuntuser> ok nixternal ?
[01:34] <nixternal> roger that

[01:34] <neskiem> LP: https://launchpad.net/~neskiem
[01:35] <bryce> ogasawara: congrats!
[01:35] <neskiem> My plan is to improve language support and get keyboards for http://languagegeek.com translated into xkb layouts.  I've pacakged ttf-lg-aboriginal. It looks like the only font that can display Cherokee  script.   I'm also using First Voices http://firstvoices.ca to create locales.
[01:35] <neskiem> Advocating adoption of Ubuntu amnogst First Nations community for it's great L10N support and ability to help with language revitalization.
[01:36] <cody-somerville> neskiem, Whats involved in managing the Ubuntu Secwepemc Team?
[01:36] <pedro_> neskiem: for how long have you been working on the translations?
[01:36] <neskiem> We are translating Ubuntu into Secwpeemctsin
[01:37] <neskiem> I've been working on this since January
[01:37] <neskiem> but I'm not fluent so part of this work is learning Secwepemctsin myself.
[01:37] <mneptok> secwpeemctsin = shuswap?
[01:37] <cody-somerville> neskiem, How many strings have you been able to translate thus far?
[01:38] <neskiem> I've only been able to translate single word strings like New, Help, etc...
[01:38] <cody-somerville> neskiem, Do you have anybody here today to endorse your application? Who have you been working with in the community?
[01:38] <neskiem> Most of my work has been to create a Secwepemc (shs) locale, keyboard and add an orthography file  shs.orth to fontconfig.
[01:39] <neskiem> No.  I don't
[01:39] <neskiem> I was trying to get Nicolas Spalinger here from the font packaging team
[01:39] <nixternal> neskiem: how much work is involved in creating the locale, keyboard stuff, and the orthography file?
[01:39] <nixternal> are you the only one doing this?
[01:39] <neskiem> It looks like it
[01:40] <cody-somerville> Okay.
[01:40] <neskiem> I look up the characters needed on the Language Geek site and figure out a sane layout to be used in xkb-data
[01:40] <atoponce> neskiem: how many languages do you speak?
[01:40] <MagicFab> neskiem, if help is needed, I can assist - we started doing something similar for Wayuunaiki in Colombia (with ubuntu-ve) - now stalled.
[01:40] <nixternal> neskiem: that is some tedious work, xkb-data is horrid
[01:40] <neskiem> I speak French, English, and a bit of my native langauge Secwepemctsin
[01:41] <mneptok> +++++ PLEASE PRE-LOAD LP PAGES! LP GOING DOWN FOR AN UPGRADE IN 20 MINUTES! +++++
[01:41] <mneptok> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[01:41] <nixternal> mneptok: woot, I already have them all loaded :)
[01:41] <neskiem> well i've found my way around xkb-data and learned the patch systems
[01:41] <effie_jayx> mneptok,  thanks
[01:41] <atoponce> mneptok: preloaded
[01:41] <atoponce> neskiem: have you helped with french translations?
[01:42] <cody-somerville> neskiem, It seems like you've made an excellent start but for me to give you my vote I'd like to see you get more involved with the community and work on getting some more translations done first. Okay? :)
[01:42] <neskiem> I know i've been kind of secluded  and need to get my work documented and out there
[01:43] <neskiem> Before any Indigenous languages can be supported in Ubuntu they need keyboard layouts, font support, and Orthogrpahy files into fontconfig.  Those are my future plans in Ubuntu.
[01:43] <atoponce> neskiem: i would like to see more sustained contributions in your translating work as well
[01:44] <j1mc> any other comments?
[01:44] <atoponce> neskiem: are you active on the forums?
[01:45]  * vorian is still reading
[01:45]  * nixternal too
[01:45]  * nixternal sees Kubuntu documentation translations :)
[01:45] <neskiem> No I'm not so active on the forums.
[01:45] <atoponce> neskiem: what progress have you made to get the community involved with your translations?
[01:46] <neskiem> Chief Atham the local langauge immersion school has agreed to work with me on translations. As well as the local School Distrcit 73 in Kamloops, which uses Linux throughout the whole school district
[01:46] <nixternal> neskiem: are you a Kubuntu or Ubuntu user? how do you see yourself helping the system you use continue to prosper?
[01:48] <neskiem> I want to see Ubuntu being used for language revitalization so that people can use Ubuntu in Ojibway, Ktunaxa, Mi'kmaw, Cherokee, Navajo, etc...
[01:49] <pedro_> ok, votes?
[01:49]  * nixternal notes that j1mc will be next so he can get this over with and head home from work, plus make sure his lappy battery doesn't die
[01:49] <neskiem> This will allow these langauges to propser as well as get some devout users who can't use Windows/OS X in those languages
[01:49] <cody-somerville> neskiem, I think thats a very noble goal I look forward to approving you in the future :)
[01:50] <neskiem> cody, thanks.
[01:50] <nixternal> I have to agree at this time. I like what I have seen thus far, but I would like to see a bit more involvement with translations and community work, and then I would have no problem approving membership in the future...great job though so far!
[01:51] <vorian> neskiem: yes, please keep up your wonderful work :)
[01:51] <atoponce> neskiem: i'd like to see more. please keep your motivations high, and your reach broad in the community.
[01:51] <effie_jayx> I agree with nickellery
[01:51] <nixternal> neskiem: if you need any MOTU or sponsorship help with your packages, please do not hesitate to message me for some help
[01:51] <nickellery> effie_jayx, you mean nixternal :)
[01:52] <cody-somerville> Technoviking, would you like to weigh in before we move on?
[01:52] <effie_jayx> nixternal,  so j1mc up next considering his situation?
[01:52] <nhaines> Keep up the good work, neskiem!  Ubuntu always needs more translators.  :D
[01:52] <nixternal> yes, j1mc you are up
[01:52] <Technoviking> neskiem: I looking forward to seeing you again, you have a great start
[01:52] <j1mc> Hi everyone, My name is Jim Campbell, and I am most closely involved with the Xubuntu project, focusing primarily on documentation and wiki work, and the Ubuntu Chicago local community team.  I've been contributing to Xubuntu since the Feisty release cycle, and have been involved with the Loco team since late 2006.
[01:52] <neskiem> thanks everyone
[01:52] <j1mc> My wiki page is here:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/j1mc
[01:52] <j1mc> and my launchpad page is here:  https://launchpad.net/~jwcampbell
[01:53]  * nixternal will kick you if you don't admit to running Ubuntu Chicago
[01:53] <nixternal> you took over my job, let it be known or else!
[01:53] <cody-somerville> j1mc, What has been the biggest obstacle you've faced as a contributor to the Xubuntu derivative?
[01:53] <j1mc> My primary plan is to keep the Xubuntu docs accurate and up to date, to also lead the Xubuntu wiki maintenance.   Additionally, I'd like to do some project management/volunteer coordination work for the Xubuntu website, and to see what can be done to further develop Xubuntu artwork.  I also want to make sure that things stay moving with the ubuntu-chicago loco team in terms of knowledge-sharing and other projects
[01:53] <nixternal> there we go :)
[01:53] <cody-somerville> \o/
[01:53] <sommer> I can say that Jim has contributed a lot of great content to the Xubuntu docs
[01:53]  * ubuntuser is Xfce translator!
[01:54] <j1mc> my biggest obstacle has just been lack of manpower, and shaky contributions - too many starts and stops from contributors
[01:54] <ubuntuser> ;)
[01:54] <j1mc> that, and just learning all of the tools.
[01:54] <cody-somerville> j1mc, How do you feel about the direction Xubuntu is taking?
[01:54] <mneptok> j1mc: i'll give you a handful of Raisinets if you say your biggest obstacle is cody-somerville ... O:)
[01:54] <atoponce> look at that karma
[01:54] <nixternal> hahahaha, you know it is
[01:55]  * eddieftw wants to kick nixternal  for that comment ;p
[01:55] <nixternal> j1mc: ya, get on 5-a-day and join the chicago team, you too eddieftw!
[01:55] <j1mc> i think xubuntu is going in a good direction in terms of being more organized.  i think it'll attract more people.
[01:55] <atoponce> j1mc: are you still active with the mobile side of things, or sticking mainly with xfce?
[01:55] <effie_jayx> j1mc,  how do you see your contributions in the near future?
[01:55] <vorian> j1mc: is that a wheaties box?
[01:55] <j1mc> i'm sticking mainly with xfce
[01:55] <nixternal> lol
[01:55] <j1mc> vorian: yes
[01:55] <vorian> j1mc: excellent :)
[01:56] <nixternal> j1mc: will you represent Xubuntu at BarCamp Chicago in next month?
[01:56] <j1mc> vorian: near future - wiki and website.
[01:56] <nixternal> ya, I can speeeeeeek
[01:56] <j1mc> nixternal: no specific plans, but do want to be there.
[01:56] <cody-somerville> j1mc, I think you're a shining example of what we're looking for in Ubuntu member applicants. +1 from me.
[01:57] <eddieftw> can i suggest a +1 from everyone?
[01:57] <effie_jayx> +1 for his xubuntu work... keep it coming
[01:57] <atoponce> j1mc: i agree with cody-somerville. this is a +1
[01:57] <eddieftw> without j1mc, ubutnu chicago wouldn't be where it's at
[01:57] <Technoviking> +1 for me
[01:57] <eddieftw> since he gives me and the rest of the teams rides all the time
[01:57] <nixternal> ditto what cody-somerville said! I have known j1mc for a couple of years now and he is absolutly awesome to work with and has done a ton of LoCo work as well as revamped everything xubuntu doc wise
[01:57] <nixternal> +1
[01:57] <vorian> +1 based on excellent work (and the wheaties box)
[01:57] <sommer> throws a +1
[01:57] <pedro_> +1 from me too, keep up the good work

[02:08] <m13> <<<just regular user here droped in accidentaly , but +10 to all of you guys
[02:08] <santiago-ve> how long will LP be off?
[02:08] <mneptok> santiago-ve: 90m or so
[02:08] <Technoviking> I would like to say that LaRoza is one the most active moderators on the Ubuntu Forums
[02:08] <mneptok> (120 is scheduled, but it may well be faster)
[02:09] <Technoviking> LaRoza: what is your post count
[02:09] <LaRoza> Let me check
[02:09] <lukehasnoname> lots
[02:09] <lukehasnoname> I can vouch for LaRoza's helpfulness
[02:09] <LaRoza> 9,975
[02:09] <LaRoza> I expect to hit 10000 tonight
[02:09]  * Technoviking faints
[02:10] <LaRoza> I can, on a good stretch, get over 100 in a single session
[02:10] <pedro_> wow that's impressive
[02:10] <mneptok> LaRoza: are you locked in a monastery with only 802.11 and a candle or soemthing?
[02:10] <LaRoza> (If I don't mess around in the Cafe and OPP...)
[02:10] <lukehasnoname> It ridiculous
[02:10] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, what exactly do you post about?
[02:10] <LaRoza> 6https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaRoza
[02:10] <LaRoza> (Sorry keyboard troubles here)
[02:11] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, Can you give us a few examples of your rest posts?
[02:11] <LaRoza> Tech support, Programming, Ubuntu, and other Linux distros
[02:11] <kirkland> LaRoza must have worn out his keyboard posting :-P
[02:11] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, links?
[02:11] <LaRoza> To my posts?
[02:11] <cody-somerville> Yes. I'd like to see a few examples.
[02:11] <LaRoza> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=39
[02:11] <vorian> LaRoza is a wonderful staffer with consistent support for quite some time now
[02:12] <LaRoza> (That is the forum page, but my posts are in the stickies and in many of the threads)
[02:12] <effie_jayx> LaRoza,  can we say your contribution is strictly oriented to forums?
[02:12] <LaRoza> No, I am also using Intrepid and going to help test the CD images once they get out
[02:12] <nixternal> 'Thanked 685 Time in 557 Posts' - whoa, that is impressive
[02:13] <effie_jayx> LaRoza,  that's great
[02:13] <LaRoza> I also give out Ubunt and support for it in real life
[02:13] <LaRoza> In fact, I get requests from people I don't know after they see someone I do know with Ubuntu
[02:13] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, So how have you *contributed* to Ubuntu exactly?
[02:13] <vorian> +1 from me based on outstanding support in the forums, and wonderful staffing werk
[02:14] <_ZeuZ_> Hi! Hope I'm not late...
[02:14] <Technoviking> cody-somerville: by helping users with questions on the forums
[02:14] <LaRoza> I have contribued money once (I am not sure what you are asking)
[02:14] <_ZeuZ_> Is the reunion still on? Or am I late?
[02:14] <effie_jayx> +1 on his forum work ... it is a big job
[02:14] <pedro_> based on your good work on the forums a +1 from me also
[02:15] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, What forums do you moderate?
[02:15] <LaRoza> ubuntuforums.org
[02:15] <Technoviking> +1 for me
[02:15] <cody-somerville> excuse me, I'm not entirely familiar with how the system there works.
[02:15] <LaRoza> The official ubuntu forums
[02:15] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, You're a moderator for all the forums at ubuntuforums.org?
[02:15] <LaRoza> Hold on, I will get a link for you
[02:15] <LaRoza> Yes, except the staff room
[02:15] <atoponce> 1 year of sustained forums work, with almost 10,000 posts. i'd say that qualifies for membership from me. +1
[02:15] <_ZeuZ_> Well, guess I'm just gonna shout it... I submitted to the mailing list a script for QoS (Traffic Throthling and shapping) for make it easy for novel users, and I wanted you guys to hitme with opinions, and lukily, after "completing" the work, include it in ubuntu-server...
[02:16] <_ZeuZ_> Has anybody had time to review it?
[02:16] <vorian> cody-somerville: yes, he's one of the select few who moderate a community of over 500,000 members
[02:16] <LaRoza> http://ubuntuforums.org/index.php?page=about
[02:16] <mneptok> _ZeuZ_: you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
[02:16] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, How often do you have to wear your moderator hat?
[02:16] <_ZeuZ_> mneptok, Ouch... ITBA took my time... University is too much for a 17 years old boy...
[02:16] <LaRoza> What does that mean?
[02:16] <LaRoza> I do not typicall post as a moderator
[02:16] <LaRoza> But I do spend a lot of time removing spam like all the others
[02:17] <mneptok> _ZeuZ_: i imagine you want to be in #ubuntu-server
[02:17] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, How often do you have to use your moderator position? Like, how many hours a day would you say you spend "moderating" the forum?
[02:17] <Technoviking> the forums would not be the same without LaRoza
[02:17] <_ZeuZ_> mneptok, They told me to come to the meeting, so we could give it an eye at the eyes of the members...
[02:17] <LaRoza> cody-somerville: I am a forum member and moderator at the same time
[02:17] <LaRoza> On the forum, I can be on for hours
[02:17] <_ZeuZ_> (this was, a month or so ago)
[02:17] <_ZeuZ_> until now, I haven't had enough time...
[02:17] <_ZeuZ_> finals on my way...
[02:17] <nixternal> honestly, the forums work is amazing obviously, however I would like to see more sustained contributions to Ubuntu outside of the forums (ie. 0 karma)
[02:17] <vorian> sometimes i think LaRoza is on the forums 24/7
[02:18] <LaRoza> vorian: That is somewhat true
[02:18] <effie_jayx> that is great work then ...
[02:18] <cody-somerville> I would also like to see more sustained contribution outside of the forum.
[02:18] <cody-somerville> But I think it looks like the forum work is awesome :)
[02:18] <LaRoza> At the moment, I am unemployed and waiting to go back to school in July
[02:18] <LaRoza> cody-somerville: Free one on one tech support?
[02:18] <mneptok> _ZeuZ_: you are currently interrupting an ongoing meeting with each inputline. please refrain, and check with the folks in #ubuntu-server on how to address your issue.
[02:18] <LaRoza> Free disks to people in other countries?
[02:19] <LaRoza> Installing and configuring systems for people with Ubuntu
[02:19] <LaRoza> Helping my college with using Ubuntu?
[02:19] <_ZeuZ_> mneptok, Ok, it was a contribution to all ubunters, as a Debian user I have no obligation, but, having said that, so long everybody.
[02:19] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, I don't see those things mentioned on your wiki page.
[02:19] <Technoviking> who has not voted?
[02:19] <LaRoza> cody-somerville: I typically spend time doing things than documenting what I do
[02:19] <LaRoza> Sorry.
[02:20] <LaRoza> "My wiki" is my programming wiki, to me.
[02:20] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, Well, as a part of applying for membership, you document your contributions.
[02:20] <LaRoza> And helping programmers with Ubuntu with ubuntuprogramming.wikidot.com (which isn't really that developed yet)
[02:20] <LaRoza> cody-somerville: I like helping people. I can do that with or without a membership ;)
[02:20] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, I agree.
[02:20] <effie_jayx> LaRoza,  but please consider the fact that we depend on the docmunetation to have a wide idea of waht you do
[02:20] <LaRoza> May I see your wiki page for reference?
[02:20] <nixternal> LaRoza: I agree with that as well
[02:21] <nixternal> https://wiki.kubuntu.org/RichardJohnson
[02:21] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CodySomerville
[02:21] <LaRoza> cody-somerville: Ah, I see your point very well now
[02:22] <LaRoza> I totally understand your thoughts now. I really am forum/irc centric and actually forgot about this meeting because I was helping someone with programming on Ubuntu
[02:22]  * cody-somerville nods.
[02:23] <LaRoza> If you think I haven't documented my actions well (indeed, I haven't) I accept your decision
[02:23] <LaRoza> (I am a Criminal Justice major, and understand the importance of getting "paperwork" done.)
[02:23] <nixternal> LaRoza: I would like to see you get more involved with the development side, as you obviously have the knowledge in doing so, and therefor providing more to Ubuntu besides that amazing work you do in the forums
[02:24] <LaRoza> The problem is/was that I got the internet at home just last October, whereas I have used Ubuntu for much longer
[02:24] <LaRoza> (Yes, I used Ubuntu without the internet, it can be done)
[02:25] <lukehasnoname> haha, I'm at a coffee shop right now because I don't have home internet
[02:25] <lukehasnoname> they could be intercepting this entire meeting via wifi :0
[02:25] <atoponce> i am recasting the votes for clarity, so i know where we're at
[02:25] <atoponce> +1
[02:26] <vorian> +1
[02:26] <nixternal> -1 at this time

[02:29]  * n0rman brb
[02:29] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, I'm sorry but unfortunately we're unable to come to a conclusion regarding your membership at this time.
[02:30] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, We welcome you to try again at the next meeting :)
[02:30] <LaRoza> I won't try again
[02:30] <atoponce> LaRoza: document more of your contributions on your wiki, to change those -1s to +1s
[02:30] <nhaines> Keep up the hard work, LaRoza.  I know the forums are a lot of effort!
[02:30] <santiago-ve> LaRoza, Mainly what you need to do is document your work
[02:30] <LaRoza> I have no interest in maintaining a useless wiki ;)
[02:30] <LaRoza> My own is work enough
[02:31] <cody-somerville> LaRoza, And thats entirely acceptable. :)
[02:31] <atoponce> LaRoza: it just makes it tough for us to see if it's not doc'd
[02:31] <cody-somerville> I hope you continue your contributions as they *are* appreciated regardless if you put them on your wiki or not.
[02:31] <vorian> LaRoza: you rock!
[02:31] <Technoviking> LaRoza: please re-consider , and I would glad to help out with your wiki
[02:31] <rolando-ve> LaRoza: just try it again, I'm sure that you will do!
[02:31]  * nhaines cheers for LaRoza.
