We quickly discussed this in today's TB meeting and agreed to set the
default expiry to one year, with self-renewal. I removed members where
it's clear that they don't need membership any more, set the ones who
probably don't need it any more to expiry in a month, and everyone
else to expire on 2014-06-01 (to avoid expiring in the middle of an
UDS).

Please keep Ara on this list, her team frequently runs sessions of their own
at UDS and she should have the same access to the vUDS hangout machinery
that others do.

Stephen Doel was on this list for Linaro and should be dropped.

I don't recognize the name Steve Edwards, and don't know if Kiko currently
needs access (he was probably on the list due to Linaro).

Hope that helps,

Tech Board nominations and elections due in a month

2013-09-02 Thread Martin Pitt
Hello Mark,

the current Tech Board period ends in about a month [1]. Of the
current members, Colin Watson and Matt Zimmerman stated that they want
to step down. The others haven't explicitly said that they want to
continue.

As far as I remember, the last time you asked around for and nominated
some candiates, asked for their agreement, and then we held an
election. Is that still the procedure which you want to follow?

Thank you!

Martin

Are you sure?
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+publishinghistory suggests
otherwise.  I think perhaps there was something wrong with the script
used to generate this.

Yeah, self-renewal sounds good here.

I don't know Stephen or Steve but I know Jeremy no longer works for
Canonical an disn't involved in UDS organization anymore and I can't
remember seeing ara or kiko use their UDS privileges at least since we
moved to the vUDS format.

At least Chistrian and Ara should be easy to get in touch with, so
asking them is probably best. For the others, setting a two weeks
self-renewable expiry is usually a good way of checking whether they're
still active and care about membership.

Going through https://launchpad.net/~uds-organizers/+members I think
the following people should be dropped because they left
Ubuntu and Canonical or work for Linaro (which has had its own summit
for a long time):

  Amit Kucheria
  Dave Walker
  Jesse Barker
  Marianna Raffaele
  Martin Mrazik
  Paul McKenney
  Zach Pfeffer
  Will Cooke

I'm not sure about the following people:

  Ara Pulido
  Christian Reis
  Jeremy Kerr
  Stephen Doel
  Steve Edwards

Perhaps we should generally change membership to time out after one
year, with self-renewal? That would provide automatic cleanup.
