In case it changes anything for anyone, I'm happy to report that I
received my latest order from the Ubuntu store which included a dozen
sheets of the new branding Ubuntu stickers! So I'll have a few to give
out tonight :)

Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Ok, I am not sure how to put this

[PR]

I have a suggestion, how about settle this Mid-evil Style with a a good
ol' fashioned Joust.

Seriously, it's prolly best to use the Conflict Wiki as mentioned where
LUGS post and users pick apart at the post until it makes sense. 

My two bits.

Since MarkDude seems to be "waiting" why wait any longer.. part of discovering 
how the team wants to accomplish conflict resolution is in itself a group 
effort, it should be a project.  

I've added a "Conflicts Resolution" line to the Projects page .. 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects) .. although my skills 
editing the wiki are poor, the link doesn't go anywhere.. yet.. perhaps a 
little help from those in the know.  If my addition is inappropriate let me 
know and I'll remove it.

As a start.. here's a bit that I've thought of

Conflicts I define as procedural.  ie.. "How do I...", "Would it be better 
if ", "Would it be ok to", 


1> Issues should be brought up initially on the mailing list
a> one issue at a time, clear and concise.  Much like a bug report

2> Discussion on the mailing list or a pre-arranged IRC meeting separate from 
our normal meeting.  IRC meetings in this venu to be logged.
a> normal IRC meetings should be positive and about upcoming events, 
meetings, experiences etc
b> past events, meetings can be referenced to mention an online 
location 
to see positives/negatives/future tweeks to consider.  Future tweeks to be 
mentioned as a topic for normal meetings or placed in the Projects page under 
Conference Box or other appropriate title.

3> In the event a conflict can't be ironed out in the methods above, a team 
vote could be called.  

In the words of Dale Carnegie from the "Golden Book" and "How to Win Friends 
and Influence Enemies",  "Don't Criticize, Condemn, or Complain".  If you do, 
(my words), you end up with Strife, Polarization and no constructive 
resolution.

Best regards,

Mark Garrow (Scunizi)
