nieldkmuch better lol23:16
RzR;)23:16
RzRso 1st thing i will put in topic23:17
nieldkfx those blue arrows, change by 2/3 how does that compute23:17
RzRhow many pple should be present to hold a meeting ?23:17
nieldkTo make any decisions, I believe, 2/323:18
RzRthe right one has simple majority23:19
RzRi suppose a minimum consensus is aimed23:19
DocScrutinizer05I simply don't manage to stay calm watching win7mac constantly trying to redefine what's council23:19
DocScrutinizer05can't this guy get lost?23:20
RzRdoes general assembly ever existed ?23:20
RzRregular members = ?23:20
nieldkDocScrutinizer51, I understand, and I think it is something that needs to be adressed23:20
DocScrutinizer05it's an invention of win7mac23:20
RzR- regular members are accepted by board upon request23:21
RzR- regular members only are eligible to candidate AND vote for board23:21
RzRi quote him23:21
nieldkbelieve doc is right, at least I only saw thiat drawing on that page23:21
* sixwheeledbeast says hi23:22
RzRwe should owe him an answer anyway23:22
RzRhi sixwheeledbeast23:22
sixwheeledbeasthi RzR23:22
nieldkhi sixwheeledbeast23:22
sixwheeledbeasto/23:22
RzRjuiceme: was mentionned on 1st line of  win7mac email23:23
RzRJust in case that was unclear,23:24
RzRI wasn't asking for an official council statement,23:24
RzRbut for your opinion23:24
RzRand my intention was to start a discussion23:24
DocScrutinizer05that regular members and general assembly crap is where win7mac failed to come up with something that's matching the way maemo community and council works, and to 'fix' that failure he now tries to redefine maemo community and council rules23:24
nieldka discussion is good23:25
RzRanway we're supposed to represent the community23:26
RzRand nobody do reply this message23:26
RzR10 thankers listed23:26
RzRand sixwheeledbeast is among them23:26
RzRso here is the hot patato for sixwheeledbeast ;)23:27
nieldkI think the confusion is due to the change from HiFo to eV, and the mess it originated from23:27
DocScrutinizer05I'm *not* going to deal with this mess from my holiday via roaming23:27
sixwheeledbeasteh?23:27
RzRsixwheeledbeast: isnt your name on last line of talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9356623:28
sixwheeledbeastRzR: and23:28
sixwheeledbeast?23:28
nieldkbut, since eV is just being initiated, is the rules and regulations set by HiFo still in act?23:28
RzRso please explain your position on this topic23:28
RzRor why did you thank w7m23:29
* RzR is dressing with his inquisitor costume23:30
DocScrutinizer05rules and regulatons of HiFo are as irrelevant to council as are e.V. rules. Council has it's own rules and those won't get recdefined or overridden with anything those cashier entites set up23:30
RzRI can understand this too23:30
DocScrutinizer05and his constant insisting in council allegedly has accepted HiFo rules is mega bullsh*t23:31
RzRbut setting up coop would help23:31
sixwheeledbeastAm I not allowed to thank someone for contributing a large amount of time to the community with a proposal? This doesn't mean I agree or disagree with anything.23:31
RzRare there incopatibility between council rules and other organizations such as MCeV ?23:31
nieldksixwheeledbeast, not at all, a post would tell23:31
DocScrutinizer05allegedly not23:31
DocScrutinizer05but according to win7 there *are* incompatibilities which he defends with claws and teeth now23:32
DocScrutinizer05that's all so completely brainfscked23:32
RzRsixwheeledbeast: ok thanks for clarification ... I agrea the post deserve to be thanked since it should have taken some time23:33
RzRok I have one proposition23:34
DocScrutinizer05even chemist corrected him some 2 or 3 meetings back that thjere technically are some differences but those are not expected to actuaslly cause incompatibilities nor a change in what council is and rules it acts according to23:34
RzRmay we invite community to comment this23:34
RzRto see if anyone does care23:34
sixwheeledbeastRzR: go on23:34
RzRbecause noone did reply yet23:34
nieldkSo, the issue perhaps can be identified as what mandate does council/HiFo(eV)  and obviously, community members posess?23:34
DocScrutinizer05it's actually irrelevcant if anybody cares or not23:35
DocScrutinizer05the mandate of HiFo is pretty clear: act as community's cashier23:35
DocScrutinizer05and execute what council asks for, unless illegal23:36
RzRpretty clear for who ?23:36
RzRall i see there is just confusion23:36
DocScrutinizer05for those who gave that mandate by voting23:37
RzRwhat about you nieldk ?23:37
DocScrutinizer05the only confusion I see is at win7mac23:37
nieldkDocScrutinizer51, meaning, board have the responsibility of communicating council requests (which probably will originate from members) to external parties, like nokia, jolla etc23:38
DocScrutinizer05who thinks this mandate should be more than it actually is23:38
nieldkthat is my understanding23:38
RzR rework council election rules incl. ยง6 (professional interests) a23:38
RzRthat one seems important ...23:38
RzRand I can see at who it is targeted23:38
DocScrutinizer05nieldk: WUT?23:38
sixwheeledbeast"HiFo a nonprofit organization elected by the community to represent it in legal and other official matters and to preserve the maemo.org infrastructure"23:39
DocScrutinizer05HiFo is not about communication, it's about accounting and contracts23:39
RzRrepresent it23:40
RzRand other official matters23:40
RzRthis is vague23:40
DocScrutinizer05that is as precise as it gets23:40
nieldkthats what I meant with the communication with external parties, like agreements with Nokia, licensing transfers etc23:40
DocScrutinizer05and sufficiently precise, given the history why HiFo got invented and why it got established the way it is23:41
nieldkDocScrutinizer51, I agree with you :)23:41
DocScrutinizer05HiFo is the cashier. period23:41
sixwheeledbeast"represent the community in legal and accounting matters" This is what I was under the impression HiFo was for.23:42
DocScrutinizer05when win7mac thinks it OUGHT be more than justr that, then that's HIS problem and confusion23:42
RzRbut to play the devil advocate23:42
RzRwill all respect to w7m23:42
DocScrutinizer05no, sorry, I'm out23:42
RzRhe's right on the broken voting system23:43
RzRthis is something we should sort out before next election23:43
DocScrutinizer05I told you I'm not going to discuss this mess from abroad via roaming23:43
DocScrutinizer05RzR: obviously23:44
RzRok at least we can reply on that23:44
DocScrutinizer05but not the way win7mac suggests23:44
RzRwe'll fix it our way23:44
RzRor try to at least23:44
DocScrutinizer05we had this "broken voting system" for 3 votes now23:45
sixwheeledbeastwhat what exactly is broken? karma?23:45
DocScrutinizer05it's actually just problems in karma calculation23:45
RzRlet's add this to23:45
RzRhttp://wiki.maemo.org/Task:Community_Council/Council_Q2_2014/Agenda23:45
nieldkso, can we address the karma issue then?23:46
DocScrutinizer05which doesn't justify abolishing complete concept of garage membership and replace it by "regular member of e.V" or whatever23:46
sixwheeledbeast:nod: some parts of karma system are broken. Hopefully these can be diagnosed and fixed.23:46
sixwheeledbeasthttp:/wiki.maemo.org/Karma23:47
DocScrutinizer05#sorry guys, I'm afk for good now23:47
nieldkDocScrutinizer51, at least not at this point in time, I agree23:47
sixwheeledbeasthttp://wiki.maemo.org/Karma :)23:47
RzRwiki.maemo.org/Task:Community_Council/Council_Q2_2014/Agenda#Possible_Tasks#  Enhance gouverance and democracy23:47
DocScrutinizer05bullsh't23:47
RzRgovernance23:47
RzRDocScrutinizer05: you said you were out23:48
nieldkDocScrutinizer51, elaborate bul...23:48
RzR;)23:48
RzRnever trust someone who said he's out and still connected ;)23:48
* sixwheeledbeast checks his karma23:48
RzRDocScrutinizer05: time for paela ? :)23:48
nieldkRzR dont start23:49
RzRseems he's really out23:49
sixwheeledbeastwell maybe Karma isn't broken, it's seems I have aquired ~200 karma points in a month23:49
nieldkDocScrutinizer51, have very valid points23:49
DocScrutinizer05the current very democratic system got established after hundreds of maemo community members discussed the details for months and then voted on it. Why does it need any enhancement now?23:49
RzRreally ? mine was broken during months if not year23:50
sixwheeledbeastHas someone been fixing things in midgard recently23:50
DocScrutinizer05yes23:50
RzRthen we should let it know23:50
*** M4rtinK has joined #maemo-meeting23:51
RzRwell i am about to leave23:52
RzRcan we list some action for comming week ?23:52
RzRie: check if the karma system is fixed and communicate to community ?23:53
DocScrutinizer05karma algos are basically a arbitrarily chosen system which tries to calculate community member contribution and activity. They are known to be imperfect. That's not a major issue though23:53
sixwheeledbeast:nod: check karma would be good, see the Karma page for list of items23:53
DocScrutinizer05we probably can get a status report of what parts in karma system work and which are flawed23:54
nieldkgood, Agreed23:54
sixwheeledbeastnote: it may take several days if not weeks to update any Karma scores.23:54
RzRok for me23:55
DocScrutinizer05whzen e.g. wiki edits don't count for karma, this doesn't mean whole karma system is completely flawed and worthless23:55
RzRif it's not frozen that's should be known23:55
sixwheeledbeastRzR: it's definitely not completely frozen and hadn't been for a while.23:56
nieldkyes, we can check it works as intended23:56
DocScrutinizer05actually aiui council is free to redefine/improve/fix karma cyalculation algos23:56
RzRfor the logs : http://wiki.maemo.org/Karma23:56
xes"fix" is just a word of 3 letters, nothing related with 4 servers with at least 3 generation of crossed scripts and fantasy tweaks to calculate karma...23:57
DocScrutinizer05after all karma is just a means to define an electorate and eligibility for council23:57
RzRxes: so as a tech voice what's your position on this karma thing ?23:58
DocScrutinizer05xes: you think it's hard to kick out wiki edits from karma calculation? I don't think so23:58
xesthe hard part is to understand which part is obsoltete and which one is not running due a problem or missing configuration23:59
