Meeting 2013-09-02: * Chair: Colin Watson * Attendees: Martin Pitt, Soren Hansen, Stéphane Graber * Apologies (US holiday): Kees Cook, Matt Zimmerman * Review our current "provisional" Micro Release Exceptions * We agreed to continue this by e-mail rather than reviewing them on IRC. * Technical board restaffing (current memberships expire on 2013-10-06) * Colin Watson and Matt Zimmerman are retiring from the TB at the end of their terms. * [ACTION] Martin Pitt will contact Mark Shuttleworth to organise nominations and elections. * [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2013-August/001704.html|Review people in the ~uds-organizers team (Chris Johnston)]] * A set of people have been identified as clearly having stale memberships of ~uds-organizers (i.e. they are known to have previously been responsible for UDS tracks, but to now be inactive in Ubuntu or no longer involved in UDS); we will deactivate them straight away. If a mistake has been made then their memberships can of course be restored with apologies if they contact us. * There is another set we aren't sure about, and we will set a one-month expiry for them to give them a chance to respond. * For the rest of the team, we will set a regular one-year expiry to try to keep the team's membership fresh in future. Meeting 2013-09-30: * Chair: Martin Pitt * Attendees: Colin Watson, Matt Zimmerman, Kees Cook, Soren Hansen, Stéphane Graber * Guest: Micah Gersten * Technical Board elections * Nominations/elections are running late, we asked SABDFL for extending the current board by a month * No public call for nominations so far, just some potential candidate recommendations by private mail to SABDFL * Requiring Core dev membership for TB members (Micah) * The board strongly recommends that TB members should be Ubuntu Core developers in order to qualify, and will send that recommendation to SABDFL * However, the board rejects making this a strict requirement, for both practical and formal reasons: the electorate's vote should have the final word on this, an existing TB member (Matt Zimmerman) has voluntarily given up core-dev membership in the interest of privilege minimization, and there are doubts that the TB would even have the power to restrict its own membership rules. * [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2013-September/001714.html|Provisional MRE Request For KDE Telepathy]] (Scott Kitterman) * Straightforward extension of the existing KDE MRE, unanimously approved. * Chair for next meeting: Kees Cook
