My feelings, thoughts and prayers are with you 17:45:29 Condolences, tatica <3 17:45:31 <3 17:45:50 :** thx all 17:45:55 je parle un peu le français, mais même 17:46:09 same wished as bt0 but in french (just translation) 17:46:15 So the first task will be to put together a task force 17:46:17 also sorry french people if I ruined your language 17:46:21 riecatnor: right 17:46:46 I had it chalked up to FAmSCo but that wasn't the preferred method 17:47:00 I can't handle more stuff right now, but I support anyone that can volunteer themself 17:47:02 I'm so sorry. I'm sure they're watching your life and achievements from a better place 17:47:03 sonsil-e daehae joesonghabnida tatica :( 17:47:26 So my thought is, write the ambassador, mindshare, and announce mailing lists to call for volunteers 17:47:31 thoughts? 17:47:39 riecatnor: +1 17:47:43 are we doing the election thing? 17:47:56 riecatnor++ 17:47:57 Please remind me what you are talking about siddharthvipul 17:48:12 taskforce selection 17:48:27 riecatnor: ^ 17:49:00 so, I would prefer to use volunteers for this... mostly bc there is plenty of work to coordinate and do. Is that a bad idea? 17:49:17 I'm up for any task you want to have for me. I will take some days next week to move to a new location, but otherwise, I'm up 17:49:29 hope no new things come up on my side that keep me up from helping :) 17:49:32 Sounds like we have our first volunteer ;) 17:50:06 I'm also up for the tasks :) 17:50:24 hmm, volunteers are great but.. 17:50:28 gotta run afk real quick.. One thing is potentially having a "point" person for the task force, someone who is organizing 17:50:33 well, I will think once more before saying 17:50:36 so sure 17:50:48 riecatnor: can I nominate Sumantro? 17:50:56 well, of course if he agrees 17:51:00 I haven't asked him :p 17:53:31 ok, back 17:54:03 do other people have thoughts about election versus volunteer for the task force? 17:54:21 riecatnor: another idea I can think is appoint a replacement for robyduck and assign them as task force contact (sounds like general or commander) haha 17:54:48 riecatnor: do you think we need a criteria to be a part of the task force? 17:55:04 to avoid just `interested` comments and people to think before applying? 17:55:15 I am torn. I am concerned that some negative energy could get elected onto that force.. on the other hand, I guess folks with negative energy could volunteer as well 17:55:22 we don't want yet another wrong stats of people on hand to work 17:55:22 but they would feel less empowered to be negative 17:56:02 is Sumantro here today? guesssing no 17:56:18 I am also fine with people applying in private ticket to mindshare and we vote them? lazy consensus? (of course I am not sure what kind of fire that will bring though) 17:56:31 I think a mix 17:56:56 Elected "focal person" 17:57:05 Volunteer task force 17:57:38 x3mboy++ 17:57:40 another issue with elections for me is folks may go for that, but not actually have the time for that 17:57:41 wdyt? 17:58:13 for example, siddharthvipul's suggestion of sumantro makes a lot of sense to me, since he is now off council and mindshare, he has time.. I mentioned it to him briefly 17:58:19 For the focal person, it would be great if someone from the current mindshare team (if has the capacity) can volunteer for it. 17:58:38 well, nasirhm, I plan to be a part of that team. I can not be the lead tho 17:59:11 (so there is a mindshare point already to be there :) 17:59:44 I think we have been elected, and can therefore appoint people as we see fit for a temporary task force 17:59:46 for sumantro, It's obviously ++ as he've previously been here and in the council, he seems a great fit (if he would like to volunteer for it.) 17:59:48 (well some of us) 18:00:09 :p not me, y'all are stuck with me lol 18:00:17 LOL 18:01:23 .members mindshare 18:01:24 riecatnor: Members of mindshare: bt0dotninja codeblock hhlp nb pbokoc @riecatnor siddharthvipul1 tatica x3mboy 18:01:44 As mindshare committee, do you believe we can appoint a lead for the temporary ambassador/commops task force? 18:01:55 Yes 18:01:58 Me 18:01:59 I mean 18:02:00 +1 18:02:06 +1 18:02:31 riecatnor: we definitely can.. if folks here don't have bandwidth, we can elect one for this role (I know I am repeating, but we have a stale seat) 18:03:11 iirc, Sumantro was to have a discussion with robyduck 18:03:34 I think having the lead be temporarily on mindshare, makes sense, but I also don't want to tax them. I can be the one to report 18:03:59 That stale seat is being addressed in the ambassador/commops revamp, siddharthvipul :) 18:04:16 i see :) 18:04:18 fair 18:04:32 I don't really have any strong points to make, so just speaking what comes to my head 18:04:39 #agreed Mindshare chooses to appoint a lead for temp task force re: ambassador/commops revamp 18:04:58 Any other nominations for leads beyond Sumantro? 18:05:11 I think of Mariana B 18:05:36 Mariana B could be awesome 18:05:40 Maybe Bee? 18:05:43 I can think of jona or jwf (if they would like) 18:05:49 Is she still around? 18:05:52 Bee, I think is focusing on school these days 18:05:53 mariana is awesome.. does she have time (she hates me though) lol jk of course 18:06:12 nasirhm: they already have a lot on their plate 18:06:16 Jona, is around, yes. She is working rn to revitalize D&I and I don't want to distract her from that 18:06:18 and trust me.. a lot 18:06:34 Well, afaik bot jonatoni and jwf are super busy 18:06:50 and jwf began a new job, I spoke with him, he is willing to help when he can 18:07:04 But if they appoint themselves I'm +1 to any of them 18:07:13 co-leads could also be a thing 18:07:17 same, can't go wrong with anyone of these people 18:07:19 Also, alciregi could be a great addition in that team 18:07:22 Hmm, Mariana B is awesome :) 18:07:23 riecatnor: even better 18:08:14 I think to open a private mindshare ticket to discuss that? or public could be fine as well. Just want those folks to have a chance to say without fear of reproach what their actual time availability/feelings are about it 18:08:42 Or, another would be an email from me, copying mindshare team to each 18:09:21 riecatnor: I am inclined towards the ticket (for future tracking purposes) 18:09:28 In aras of the openness we are trying to pull out, we should make it public 18:10:09 ok, fine by me.. everyone else ok with this? 18:10:16 +1 too 18:10:16 yeah 18:10:23 hold while I open the ticket 18:10:23 Sounds good 18:11:06 Can we track volunteers in the same ticket? 18:11:57 riecatnor: I would recommend it to be less friction'ed 18:12:02 can we have a separate ticket? 18:12:17 two tickets are fine 18:13:01 would be good if we can have the leads first and then they do the call for volunteers (although depends on how much time first takes) 18:13:03 2 tickets sounds good. 18:13:09 Two sounds better, otherwise we might miss someone if there are a lot of comments 18:14:20 +1 for 2 18:14:44 https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/226 18:14:55 here is the first 18:14:58 #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/226 18:16:57 I asked for input from Sumantro, Bee, Mariana, Alessio 18:17:52 hi 18:18:06 nb: Hey o/ 18:18:47 nb, o/ 18:18:52 nb, how are you? 18:19:35 heya nb! 18:19:49 #link https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/227 18:20:00 * nb is kinda busy, but good 18:20:12 we moved most of our login systems at work to Okta today 18:20:12 For #227, should we send that out to a couple lists? 18:20:54 nb, sounds busy! 18:21:25 Sounds good, that would help us to spread the news about it. :) 18:23:13 Announce, mindshare, ambassador lists. Someone should drop these into telegram 18:23:21 wait.. drop the *one* for the volunteers 18:23:24 not both. 18:23:42 Comm blog post? 18:23:52 riecantor, can you please link each ticket in the other one? Something like "see #227 if you're interested" for 226, and "see #226 for info" for 227 18:24:05 makes sense, sure pbokoc 18:24:41 Cross linked 18:24:44 ++ for comm blog's post. 18:24:53 CommBlog post, for sure 18:25:13 Any volunteers to write a commblog post? 18:25:47 me would like to write it. 18:26:02 oops, missed the `/`* 18:26:41 ok, nasirhm, thanks! 18:27:12 Welcome :) 18:27:17 Would you like to send a link here for us to review when it is drafted? 18:28:10 Sure, would send the draft once it's ready. 18:30:35 Thanks! 18:30:41 I will write the emails up for the mailing lists 18:30:55 Awesome :) 18:31:11 Volunteer to drop the link into telegram with a nice note? 18:32:25 I can do that too :) 18:32:58 How do we want to timebox this? 18:33:22 sure 18:33:29 one week 18:33:30 (oh gosh, just realized we are out of time) 18:33:31 I think we passed the meeting time 18:33:36 One week 18:33:47 sounds acceptable 18:33:51 I think two weeks to gather volunteers 18:33:59 people don't always get to their email 18:34:07 or might want to think about that 18:34:15 Ok, +1 to 2 weeks 18:34:21 let's be sure to check in next meeting 18:34:23 One week for the announcements and then 2 weeks to wait for people to step up.
