The generel idea is that Membership is a lower bar than MOTUship. Some Arguments:  * This should be a way of recognizing good work in MOTU without feeling like MOTUship needs to be granted.'''  * It also allows the MC to see a candidate twice.'''  * It gives them a better feel for the person before the MOTU application.''' After further discussion a vote was called with the following result:    * For: 6  * Against: 0  * Abstained: 0 [AGREED] Ubuntu Membership is now a generel requirement for MOTUship. MC grant Membership before and up-to MOTUship. [TOPIC] Should we establish some "u-u-s days" to clear u-u-s queue as much as possible before release day? by Luca Falavigna Emilio Pozuelo Monfort suggested: It was every Monday for REVU days, we could do the same for u-u-s now that we are not doing REVU. On the other hand, putting them on Mondays would mean it's just until Hardy is released... so a different day would be a good idea to get it continued in Intrepid. This was generally accpeted. Jordan Mantha added things we need:  * date  * to do list  * MOTUs around to clear the queue  * promotion and energy Furthermore we thought about a name for it and several ideas came up: "MOTU Hug days", "Sponsorship Days", "Hug dholbach day", "Ubuntu love days". But in the end we agreed that the name isn't that important and we only need one day. After further discussion a vote was called with the following result:  * For: '''7'''  * Against: '''0'''  * Abstained: '''0''' [AGREED] One u-u-s day to clear u-u-s queue. <pre>[FIXED TOPIC]: Next MOTU Meeting </pre> <pre>The next MOTU meeting will take place at 28th March, 20:00 UTC. hellboy195 volunteered to send announcement mails. </pre> </body> </html>
