1. Process for applying to become an Ubuntu Core Developer Daniel Holbach of the MOTU Council requested clarification of the process for applying to become an Ubuntu Core Developer. In response, the Board discussed and agreed on a slightly modified process, where an application is submitted via email in advance, prior to attending a meeting. The new process will be documented in the usual place at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewDeveloperProcess 2. Meeting schedule Scott James Remnant raised the matter of adjusting the meeting time to account for Daylight Saving Time, as has been done in the past. Some other options were suggested along the way, aimed at trying to accomodate core developer candidates in distant time zones, avoid no-op meetings, maintain a regular heartbeat of activity, etc. In the end, it was resolved to adjust for DST as usual, but pursue a further discussion among the Board members about how to proceed. 3. Meeting minutes The members of the Board recognized that they have been inconsistent about keeping minutes and thereby communicating decisions to the community. MDZ volunteered to communicate this meeting's outcome, and also noted the potential helpfulness of a secretary to help ensure that this important communication happens. Interested volunteers are encouraged to email [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4. Meeting agenda process In a hat trick of administrivia, the Board also decided to revise the process by which issues can be brought before it. Rather than encouraging developers to add items to the wiki page and attend the next meeting, it's preferable to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and have an initial discussion via email before deciding to discuss an issue at the next meeting. Action items: - mdz to take minutes and email out (done) - mdz to update TechnicalBoardAgenda and the governance page (done, and emailed to webmaster) - mdz to email fridge-devel to update meeting times (done) - dholbach to update NewDeveloperProcess -- - mdz -- ubuntu-devel-announce mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-announce
