So maybe i should become a member, that way my voice will actually be heard. I know i dont do much documentation as such (i am time poor atm), but i have ideas etc. Also, whilist i wont be at UDU, if you want to talk 2 me, i can get on the phone, only an interstate call away. <div>On 4/18/05, Daniel Robitaille <<a href="mailto:robitaille@gmail.com">robitaille@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Mon, 2005-18-04 at 14:53 +1000, Mary Gardiner wrote: > I don't know if there's a Community Council meeting pending, or whether > one is being held at UDU.

At the scheduled time of the meeting, no member of the Community Council were present on IRC (the council has 4 members). After a wait of 1 hour finally one showed up (Mako, after someone called his cell phone), and a meeting was finally held; but since he was alone he couldn't vote on any motions or new memberships.

While I haven't been involved in the documentation team yet, something that will hopefully change for Breezy as it is one of my current goal to help your group a small way in incoming months, I have been working recently to become an Ubuntu member myself (hopefully a quest with a positive outcome at the next CC meeting). As such it is my personal opinion that some members of the doc team have more than enough met the requirement for membership. <a href="http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/processes/newmember"> http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/processes/newmember</a> "A person who wants to become a member should be engaged in a sustained level of contribution to the Ubuntu community. This can include coding, writing or documentation, the creation of art-work, music, testing, bug triage and verification, translation, advocacy, leadership of LoCo teams, etc. Contributions should be significant and visible. Anybody who is active in the Ubuntu community is a good candidate for Ubuntu membership." > People wanting to become members should make a wiki page about > themselves giving some background and an overview of existing > contributions to Ubuntu... Yes, that's the first step. Create a wiki, document your contributions. Find some current members of the Ubuntu community ready to "testify" about your contributions to Ubuntu, add your name to the agenda for the next community council, show up at the meeting, and hopefully they will accept you as a member :) -- ubuntu-doc mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com </a> <a href="http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc">http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc</a> </blockquote></div> -- <a href="<a href="http://spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=affiliates&id=82&t=1""> http://spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=affiliates&id=82&t=1"</a>>Get Firefox!</a>
