sixwheeledbeastyep21:17
*** DocScrutinizer05 has quit IRC21:19
*** DocScrutinizer05 has joined #maemo-meeting21:19
thedead1440what's stopping us from aligning the 2 bodies?21:20
sixwheeledbeastAFAIK we need the same members on both parties, also we declare that MCC will unite with HFC21:23
thedead1440to do so we need a full attendance of both bodies too right?21:23
sixwheeledbeastI agree21:23
thedead1440so we do it via email?21:24
thedead1440and a subsequent post to mailing list and tmo?21:24
thedead1440qwazix: there?21:24
qwazixyep21:24
sixwheeledbeastwell we definitely need to let the community know.21:25
thedead1440qwazix: what do you think should be done?21:25
qwazixI'm okay with your proposal21:25
qwazixagree all over mail in public ml21:26
qwazixand then post result on tmo+ML21:26
thedead1440so chair i.e. chem|st sends out the initial emails for the alignment?21:27
qwazixI thin we should decide now on initial text21:28
thedead1440agreed21:28
qwazixthink*21:28
sixwheeledbeastok21:28
thedead1440we start a draft here: http://piratepad.net/4mk7x5zBxD ?21:29
thedead1440I've added just two lines; please add too21:31
sixwheeledbeastI have some bits I can use on file somewhere mompls will paste in.21:32
thedead1440ok21:33
*** Woody14619 has joined #maemo-meeting21:33
thedead1440hi Woody1461921:33
Woody14619hello, so I'm late (am on N900)21:33
Woody14619s/so/sorry/21:34
thedead1440np; we were starting to draft an email for the alignment of MCC and HFC; could you chime in on the text too please21:34
DocScrutinizer05I suggest thedead1440 and sixwheeledbeast officially step down from their council position and keep an unofficial affiliated status that's not involving their vote on any official HFC/MCC decisions but they have both a word in discussions about any decision the council(s) do and council(s) are obliged to consider all comments/contributions of the two21:39
thedead1440we announce it now doc at this moment?21:39
DocScrutinizer05when ever you do, councils are free to unite same moment21:40
thedead1440i'm all for doing it right now to make things simpler21:40
sixwheeledbeastDocScrutinizer05: we are dratfing a document now21:40
thedead1440its best to resign in a meeting instead of separately via ML etc21:40
DocScrutinizer05sorry, I'm afk again, just dropped by to rant a bit21:41
sixwheeledbeastI agree I didn't vote on referendum for nothing21:41
DocScrutinizer05one last statement: _I_ agree on councils accept your stepping down and will keep your status as affiliated "councilors of council councilors"21:42
thedead1440you aim to confuse people with that term :p21:43
DocScrutinizer05I.E. I mandate that council keeps you in with "full voice" but no vote21:43
DocScrutinizer05bbl21:44
thedead1440ok21:44
*** Woody14619 has quit IRC21:44
DocScrutinizer05aiui another 2 of the remaining 4 voting same will create a obligatory decision of the council(s) to listen to you both for the rest of this term, when you step down21:46
thedead1440merlin1991 and qwazix your votes for ^^ to get that out of the way now itself21:47
thedead1440s/for/for or against/21:47
DocScrutinizer05then you both stating "I step down but keep my status as described by council blabla" is all it needs21:47
DocScrutinizer05for HFC please check bylaws if sixwheeledbeast needs to step down in writing21:48
qwazixsorry, battery-swapping21:48
DocScrutinizer05if stepping down HFC needs written notice, a email is sufficient I guess21:49
qwazixI don't think anybody will deny either thedead1440 or sixwheeledbeast from voicing their opinion, so this formality is in my book unneeded21:50
DocScrutinizer05if not needed, then posting here in chan is all it takes21:50
qwazixI for one promise that I'll not gag anybody in this channel :P21:50
DocScrutinizer05qwazix: it's about remaining council *listening* to them and trying to find a consensus with them21:51
thedead1440DocScrutinizer05: qwazix has a valid point; why complicate matters with introducing such a formality?21:51
DocScrutinizer05^^^21:51
thedead1440oops lag21:51
DocScrutinizer05the council promises sth to them21:51
sixwheeledbeastthedead1440: at meeting end if we both declair step-down to ML, it's in writing then?21:52
DocScrutinizer05sorry, afk now for good21:52
qwazixDocScrutinizer05: I agree fully, I just don't think we need to make it formal and become even more boring for the community21:52
thedead1440sixwheeledbeast: for MCC yes, for HFC we need to check by-laws21:52
qwazixI'm okay either way anyway21:52
DocScrutinizer51qwazix: simply say "yes I agreeN and all boredom has an end21:54
DocScrutinizer51as soon a third council also does21:54
thedead1440ok by-laws has nothing specific for resignation of a council member21:55
DocScrutinizer51good21:55
thedead1440since the mcc rules were adopted i would say the same steps have to be followed21:55
DocScrutinizer51merlin1991: and qwazix say YAY and step1 done21:55
thedead1440only one issue; membership to the Board; and conduct the elections of the Foundation. There shall be either three of five persons on Council21:56
thedead1440if the above is interpreted as a typo to mean three or five persons on Council what what happen if Council falls to 4 members21:57
thedead1440Do we assume that since MCC rules, adopted by HFC, have no such provision, its fine to just move on?21:57
*** Win7Mac has joined #maemo-meeting21:59
thedead1440hi Win7Mac22:00
Win7MacHi!22:01
qwazixoops sorry, was disconnected, of course I vote yay22:01
qwazixhi Win7Mac22:01
merlin1991+122:02
thedead1440so ok for formality's sake we have a provision that the aligned council must listen to sixwheeledbeast's and my opinions before reaching on a consensus in the future22:03
qwazixthedead1440: for this term22:03
thedead1440indeed22:03
*** HtheB has joined #maemo-meeting22:10

HtheBi know :)22:13
*** valdur55 has joined #maemo-meeting22:13
thedead1440we are more/less done with the draft i think, qwazix your input please22:15
thedead1440merlin1991: yours yoo22:15
qwazixlet me read one last time22:16
merlin1991looks good to me only line 10 is a bit weird22:16
thedead1440merlin1991: please fix it then :)22:16
merlin1991ah wait I've read an earlier version of it22:16
qwazixadded one word22:18
qwazixotherwise it's fine22:18
merlin1991line 44 is rather redundant in the light of line 1222:19
thedead1440merlin1991: removed it22:20
merlin1991looks fine now22:20
thedead1440who did the strike-through?22:21
Win7Macme22:22
thedead1440i rather that sentence be left for those unable to catch up22:22
qwazixI liked that last sentence22:22
qwazixIt summed it up nicely22:23
qwazixeven if redundant22:23
Win7Macok, fine22:23
thedead1440then put it back in22:23
thedead1440and remove line1222:23
Win7MacI stumbled upon "see" in the 2nd sentence, sounds somehow wrong to me22:25
qwazixs/see to/result in/  ?22:25
Win7Macbetter22:26
qwazixwe feel this for... sentence is too much, IMO22:27
qwazixthat last sentence should be short and powerful22:29
sixwheeledbeastcan we please talk in piratepad I didn't realise there was discussion here , lol.22:29
qwazixsixwheeledbeast: I'm on N900 and chat on pp is a pain22:30
sixwheeledbeasttoo many tabs :)22:30
thedead1440hehe22:30
qwazixcan't scroll the tiny window22:30
sixwheeledbeastqwazix: ok np then :)22:30
qwazixthanks22:31
sixwheeledbeastwhat do we think, final read?22:31
thedead1440i think its fine now22:32
qwazixMy only suggestion is to trim the last sentence short22:32
thedead1440qwazix: its now "We believe the above is an important step for moving the Community forward with an unified Council in the post-Nokia era."22:32
qwazixokay it's good, now that I read it again22:33
qwazixisn't it "a unified" rather than "an unified"?22:33
qwazixsixwheeledbeast ^^?22:34
sixwheeledbeastyes a agree qwazix22:35
sixwheeledbeasts/a/I/22:35
merlin1991imo way too much "this" in the text, but it's not a book we hand in22:35
thedead1440changed a few words to remove "this"22:36
thedead1440re-read please22:37
merlin1991I'm fine with the current version22:37
thedead1440sixwheeledbeast: ok with it?22:38
Win7Macline 7: "with similar rules" or "with same rules"?22:38
thedead1440similar due to the 3 and 5 candidates thing being tweaked22:38
Win7Macah ok22:39
sixwheeledbeastbit of grammar and tarting, but the body is there.22:39
thedead1440i think it could now be sent to doc and chem|st for their revisions before its published22:39
qwazixthedead1440: +122:40
sixwheeledbeastagreed22:40
sixwheeledbeastmerlin1991: ^^^22:40
merlin1991+122:41
sixwheeledbeastok do we e-mail or post linkto PP?22:41
thedead1440i think an email22:42
qwazixbetter pst link IMO22:42
thedead1440ok then post the link22:42
thedead1440i'm ok with both22:42
qwazixtracking revisions in email is not optimal22:42
qwazixbut we can post the link *and* copy the text in the body to make sure it isn't lost or vandalized22:43
thedead1440true22:43
sixwheeledbeastI will save a copy to desktop now.22:44
thedead1440sixwheeledbeast: could you send it to the other two also?22:45
qwazixyes please, I tried to copy all text on N900 but ctrl +a selects all website22:46
qwazixnvm I made it22:46
qwazixsending now to both councils22:46
thedead1440before i fall asleep i think its best i do a formal announcement of me stepping down:22:47
sixwheeledbeastqwazix: have you sent it? I can't copy it correctly.22:47
thedead1440I agree to step down as MCC member with immediate effect so that both the MCC and HFC can be aligned into a single unified Council.22:48
qwazixI sent it22:48
thedead1440qwazix: rec'd it22:48
qwazixsixwheeledbeast: ^^22:48
sixwheeledbeastI agree to step down as HFC member with immediate effect so that both the MCC and HFC can be aligned into a single unified Council. :)22:48

sixwheeledbeastit's the best way...22:50
sixwheeledbeastOK so other topics?22:51

Win7Maclatest news about BoD meeting?22:51
sixwheeledbeastlmao22:51
merlin1991the rest of the list is22:51

merlin1991##IRC cloaks for Council22:51
merlin1991##IRC channel op/GC22:51
sixwheeledbeastWin7Mac: Can councils finish the topics above first22:52
Win7Macsure22:52
merlin1991regarding Autobuilder, we had a problem on repo which led to packages not getting imported, I jumpstarted that but it's dead again because the import/promotion queue has gone mental22:52
sixwheeledbeastOk so the autobuilder is pants at the moment is there anything council can do about the situ?22:53
merlin1991so this one's dead untill we find out why22:53
sixwheeledbeastok thanks merlin199122:53
thedead1440sixwheeledbeast: what can council do other than issue a call for additional help?22:53
*** joecool has joined #maemo-meeting22:53
sixwheeledbeastIt someone on the case for "finding out why"?22:54
qwazixIf you ask me we should dump that thing and put the effort at setting obs up instead22:54
sixwheeledbeasts/It/Is/22:54
merlin1991I've spent 6 hrs on that yesterday22:54
merlin1991I'll probably digg into it again next week22:54
merlin1991I'm happy though if somebody else stepps up22:54
qwazixmerlin1991: I bet in 6h you would had set up an obs22:54
sixwheeledbeastOk well thank you for your "digging" merlin1991.22:55
sixwheeledbeastCurrently I am keeping an eye on the "cleaning old version" rolling issue to stop the DB filling up with junk.22:56
sixwheeledbeastok next topic?22:56
qwazixre: cloaks I think that only x-fade can set them up?22:57
merlin1991yep ...22:57
sixwheeledbeastAgreed this is what I know too22:57
qwazixmaybe we can appeal to freenode?22:58
qwazixsay he's disappeared and that hfc should become op?22:58
qwazixor DocScrutinizer05?22:58
sixwheeledbeastjoint GC is not an option I believe22:58

qwazixchairman, or somebody each new hfc votes @first meeting22:59
*** Win7Mac has quit IRC22:59
qwazixchainsawbike: hi22:59
sixwheeledbeastAlso GC/sysop has to be a person I'd say warfare myself.23:00
*** Win7Mac has joined #maemo-meeting23:00
sixwheeledbeastAnyway I think DocS was looking in to this topic but we need to consider that cloaks "should" be done for council members ASAP23:01
qwazix:nod:23:01
sixwheeledbeastOK I have a couple more bits if we are finished with IRC stuff?23:02
qwazixgo ahead23:03

Win7MacI could do it, if I get the info23:05
sixwheeledbeastIf there are jobs which are unoccupied they could be put on so we know who to assign a role/job.23:05
sixwheeledbeastI am unsure of the information too.23:06
sixwheeledbeastthedead1440: are you scratchbox maintainer?23:06
