[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

here are the minutes from today's meeting. Also available in the wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TechnicalBoard/TeamReports/13/September


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.

= Provisional MRE Request For KDE Telepathy (Scott Kitterman) =
 * https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2013-September/001714.html
 * Straightforward extension of the existing KDE MRE, unanimously approved.

Chair for next meeting: Kees Cook
