Minutes from the MOTU meeting of Friday 25th April 2008

[James Westby]

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in sending the minutes. I forgot when I
volunteered to write them that I would be away for the weekend.

Naming of the "Universe Hackers" team
-------------------------------------

The first item on the agenda was the naming of the new team for use
by the MOTU Council to grant Ubuntu membership. The names that were
put forward in response to Daniel's request for suggestions were looked
at, and the ones that had some approval from the resulting thread were
selected and discussed. The most popular of these names were then put
to a vote, with the name "Universe Contributors" winning by a large 
margin. Discussion following this led to the launchpad id 
"universe-contributors" being selected. Concern about the similarity
to the existing "ubuntu-universe-contributors" team was noted.

In order to ensure that this similarity was not carried forward it was
decide to rename the current team. There was a period of discussion over
whether the new name should be REVU-specific to reflect the current
use of the team, or more general to provide a single open team for 
people to join. This led to a vote with the former option winning. The
name "revu-uploaders" was chosen as the new name for
"ubuntu-universe-contributors".

Next Meeting
------------

Following the practice of scheduling the next meeting two weeks in 
advance, and shifting by 8 hours the next meeting will be 9th may, 4UTC.
