He said there was a backlog a while ago due to him and Ilmehtar being both quite busy but it's been mostly cleared and he expects to be able to keep it clean. 20:22:04 ok, I am still willing to help 20:22:18 so the public welcome note is the only thing delayed? 20:22:40 I guess, again use too we get those all the time 20:22:44 In general, I see that *smaller* commitees work better than big ones (see the membership officials team) so I would keep it at Kostas and Ilmehtar unless they see an issue and one of them wants to be/has to be replaced... 20:22:56 +1 20:23:06 the delay is minor compared to the membership officials situation, to be honest. 20:23:18 terrorpup, aren't you a member of that? Your name is still listed on the wiki 20:23:31 yes 20:23:38 * jospoortvliet rejoices - his computer finally boots up! 20:23:40 I am willing to jump in and start on that 20:23:57 terrorpup, if you're still a member - then I'd say please focus there... 20:24:07 I never got actions items on what to do. 20:24:18 it might be an idea to kick off inactive members to keep it more lean and give people thus more sense of responsibility 20:24:37 about year go I asked, an asked and asked, and got no answer 20:25:01 members of the membership team 20:25:03 terrorpup, you're saying you're part of a committee but have no idea what to do? 20:25:24 surely not! ;) 20:25:46 yes, I know that is bad, but I keeping asking what needs to be done. Sorry I know that is bad, but I like to work on it. 20:26:16 if there is a wiki page, point to me, I will get started. 20:26:25 jospoortvliet: pick someone else on the team and tell them to tell terrorpup what to do. 20:26:26 * terrorpup knows that he looks bad now 20:26:43 Will and Jos, thanks 20:26:51 terrorpup: no not at all.. 20:27:27 terrorpup, there's a wiki page on membership officials with the names of who are on it. And isn't there a ML? I can ping them but so can you... 20:27:37 yes 20:27:43 membership@ 20:27:48 thanks, I will work on membership. That all I have. 20:27:54 I will do that tonight 20:28:03 try to clean the backlog 20:28:43 terrorpup, that'd be awesome. points for you :D 20:28:52 I give the floor back 20:29:10 #action terrorpup to contact the membership team 20:29:19 #topic Meeting times 20:29:52 I'm bringing this up myself... It seems this time of day does not seem to bring the participation like we had in the past 20:30:11 * jospoortvliet is already for moving it back to 'the old times' 20:30:17 is the time the problem or is it the general lack of energy around atm? 20:30:28 As both Alan are here in the West Coast, it would not be difficult to move earlier 20:30:39 Bille_home: im seeing it as the time... 20:31:03 whenever we were ~ 17-1800 CET it was much more lively 20:31:08 people could join from work 20:31:11 but you do have the energy level of a whippet with a hyperactive thyroid :). 20:31:21 lol 20:31:30 today we have the special issue of 22 crazy men running after one ball ;-) 20:31:37 true 20:31:55 plus moving earlier would allow folks from India to join more easily 20:32:11 Bille_home, time plays a big role I think. Lack of energy is a different thing but I think we're just in need of something exciting. 20:33:02 * jospoortvliet couldn't care less about the 22 monkeyhs 20:33:23 well 12.2 is having a lot of teething issues and the conference/summit is a bit away 20:33:53 12.2 is absorbing a lot of time for a lot of people in its current state 20:34:02 tbh i don't find this time that great 20:34:04 so, we're done already - we move the meeting back to 18:00 UTC and we'll have more fun because Bille_home is going to run around naked at the conference to get us attention. 20:34:15 :D 20:34:20 i don't have the vim and vigour after 2200 that i had as a younger pup 20:34:29 * mrdocs looks for a blindflod 20:34:39 * jospoortvliet hides 20:35:42 what are other's thoughts ? 20:35:54 about the time, not about Bille_home running naked :) 20:36:04 i was waiting for that. 20:36:12 * jospoortvliet thinks it's obvious everyone likes that anyway 20:36:23 (the time, of course, the time) 20:36:25 OF COURSE 20:36:26 LOL, Will you are much younger pup than me. 20:36:43 * terrorpup 9/12/12 will be 45 :( 20:37:17 terrorpup: different timezone though. 20:37:39 anyway i'm back fulltime in mid aug so office hours will suit me better then 20:37:44 20:38:04 i do not mind the earlier hours.. i can do the meeting then head to work 20:38:58 so what will be the new time 18:00UTC? 20:39:01 by the way, I am getting a 554 error when trying to mail to the list. 20:39:10 I am getting ready to head home 20:39:45 malcolmlewis: yes or even 1700 UTC 20:40:27 we had good participation in the kde meetings @ 1500 UTC as well IIRC 20:40:32 For those in MDT, that might work better. 1800 UTC is noon here. 20:41:20 hendersj: im on PDT in the Bay area 20:41:29 For those in CDT, 1700 UTC is noon ;) 20:41:56 hendersj: malcolmlewis thoughts ?? ok in the middle of the day ? 20:42:01 mrdocs: I'd forgotten you were in PDT. :) 20:42:02 1600 here (EST) 20:42:22 if a time change will get more folks here it should be changed 20:42:27 Middday works OK for me, but one thought to consider as well if you want participation from India is the 11.5 hour difference from here to Bangalore. 20:42:41 I used to do meetings with engineers in Bangalore, and typically they'd be at 8 AM MDT 20:42:50 hendersj: exactly :) 20:43:41 what was the old time 1500 UTC? 20:44:03 hendersj: exactly :) UTC IIRC 20:45:20 ok 20:45:34 so we have 1500, 1700 or 1800 UTC 20:45:40 so let's add this as a topic for next meeting and vote ? 20:45:50 ok 20:46:12 #action mrdocs to add meeting time as a topic for the next meeting 20:46:28 Assuming there are enough who come to the meeting for the vote. ;) 20:46:29 #info 1500, 1700 or 1800 UTC as preferred meeting times 20:46:49 please (also) ask on the mailinglist 20:47:00 cboltz: definitely 20:47:10 it doesn't make sense to ask only the people who attend the meeting which time they like 20:47:21 because many of them will probably answer "now" ;-) 20:48:41 good point :) 20:49:02 #action mrdocs bring up on list 20:49:22 so, moving on? 20:49:28 * Bille_home needs to get to bed 20:49:33 #topic Q and A 20:50:14 1.2.3.... 20:50:19 UEFI 20:50:31 aha 20:50:39 yeah a lot of traffic on the ml 20:50:57 not sure we know what we can at the moment 20:51:00 but none on the technical side... 20:52:12 not qualified to comment on it 20:52:20 woudl be good to have the SLE point of view 20:52:21 eg you need the dvd to install uefi 20:52:34 or gregkh's 20:53:01 Bille_home, for sure as at present openSUSE and SUSE share the same efi directory... 20:53:21 and it overwrites each other 20:53:27 I intend to bring it up within SUSE, see if we can get a key for openSUSE like Fedora has. Looks like that's what people want... 20:54:39 I have one the Fedora Keys with Fedora 17 install, very nice 20:54:45 2GB 20:55:18 terrorpup: key = UEFI bootloader signing key 20:56:21 ah, ok. I was thinking the USB keys they are giving away with 64-Bit Fedora 17 on it. 20:56:39 terrorpup: see https://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/588498:uefi-secure-boot-big-hassle-questionable-benefit 20:56:49 I know that EFI is used with 64-bit, a real pain, but that is my thought 20:57:57 terrorpup, I'm using UEFI/elilo here, it's not too bad..plus a gpt partition scheme is nice 20:58:42 * Bille_home is leaving now 20:58:58 I just need to get up to speed, I am going to being wiping my macbook pro and tri booking, all 64 bit, mac os x, w7, openSUSE 12.1 20:59:08 Bille_home, thanks for making it :) 20:59:15 thank jospoortvliet for chasing me 20:59:19 cu all 20:59:38 #endmeeting
