MC Call Minutes, Jan 30th

[Daniel Holbach]

Agenda Items:
      * All MC members pointed out they're really happy to meet their
        new MC colleagues in ~14 hours. :-)
        (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev/+polls) 
      * Michael Bienia asked for clarification of the process of
        "skipping MOTU" (directly applying for core-dev). Daniel Holbach
        explained that it was up to the MC to decide if the applicant is
        core-dev material and to speak out the recommendation based on
        that, but also volunteered to ask the TB if a clarification of
        https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers is necessary.
      * Outstanding applications: Tim Gardner (core-dev).
      * MOTU UVF team. Daniel Holbach informed the MC that Scott
        Kitterman, Cesare Tirabassi, Luke Yelavich, Stefan Potyra and
        Sarah Hobbs nominated themselves and volunteered to set up the
        polls ASAP.
      * Uncertainty about Marco Rodrigues' areas of involvement. Daniel
        Holbach informed the MC about the ban situation that arose on
        #ubuntu-devel last Friday (mentioned in [1] and [2]) and
        expressed his discontent with it. At the same time everybody in
        the call expressed their worry about the fact that a
        clarification about the Marco's involvement still seems
        necessary. Expect more discussion on the mailing lists and with
        the new MC members.
      * Attendees: Daniel Holbach, Michael Bienia, Søren Hansen.
      * Call duration: 12 minutes.
