Whereas the TennesseeTeam Team Leader has been in-absentia for several months, and whereas member applications to join the team are not being approved, and whereas existing member are being expired, and whereas the main team page is out of date, this wiki page has been created to document the issues and recommend solutions to the mentioned problems.
There has been a [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=568358 renewed vigor] for getting the team active, including increased IRC channel activity, a TennesseeTeam/Whiteboard, increased mailing list activity, two active LoCo mentors, and a general increased hope for the future! There is an upcoming IRC meeting tomorrow, a Nashville meetup, even followed by a release party.
Team Leader Missing
Members of the team have been unable to contact the Team Leader MichaelBerger for the past several months. There has been no response by email or alternative methods. He was "last seen" on IRC five weeks ago, and the last member approval was August 15th, nearly two months ago.
Issues with Team Members
Because the TennesseeTeam is a closed team, with applications requiring the team leader approval, [https://edge.launchpad.net/~tennessee.team/+members 13 applications] are pending approval, since August 4th.
No one is renewing the team members, and [https://edge.launchpad.net/~tennessee.team/+members 5 members] have been expired since September 18th. Team members are requesting action taken in the [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=564434 forums].
Issue with Team Webpage
The [https://launchpad.net/~tennessee.team/ team webpage] is out of date, with incorrect IRC channel listings and an email address that generates no responses. The page cannot be corrected except by the team leader and Launchpad administrators.
Issue with IRC Channel
- Team IRC channel #ubuntu-tennessee requires a channel operator to modify the channel title, to direct participants to the team wiki.
Recommendations
Immediately appoint one or more team members as administrators of team to address expiring memberships and incorrect website information. The following members are interested in administrative participation: [https://launchpad.net/~w4ett/ w4ett] who will be available and online this week, [https://launchpad.net/~wfpearson/ slapoet] who wanted also to help the team organization, and [https://launchpad.net/~matthew-t-craig/ myself] although I will be on the road this week.
