#topic slobs election |

meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> Hello! |
| 23:27 |
walterbender |
there was an email sent out two days ago. I am worried that it ended up in people's SPAM folders. Others are not reporting having received it at all |
| 23:27 |
CanoeBerry |
I received it, but in my spambox. |
| 23:27 |
walterbender |
(2 in SPAM, 2 not received, 0 received) in my unscientific poll |
| 23:27 |
|
not looking good |
| 23:28 |
Claudia_ |
i did not see it |
| 23:28 |
walterbender |
I am happy that the membership committee has formulated a plan and tried to contact people. |
| 23:28 |
satellit_e |
neither did I but I just got added to list |
| 23:28 |
walterbender |
I'll try to get the word out through Sugar Digest, which seems to get through SPAM filters more reliably by all reports. |
| 23:28 |
CanoeBerry |
satellit_e: what was the issue, keeping you from joining? |
| 23:29 |
satellit_e |
never got a survey so on old 2009 member list but not on survey list |
| 23:30 |
walterbender |
satellit_e, I suspect it was some sort of database glitch |
| 23:30 |
satellit_e |
k |
| 23:30 |
walterbender |
please contact samson directly |
| 23:30 |
|
I'm fine with the schedule: Jan. 17-23 |
| 23:30 |
CanoeBerry |
Glad it's cleared up.. the solution in general is to <members sugarlabs.org> is that correct? |
| 23:30 |
walterbender |
OK with everyone? |
| 23:30 |
CanoeBerry |
Sure |
| 23:31 |
satellit_e |
I am on https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/[…]embers/Survey2015 now but no survey recieved or replied to |
| 23:31 |
CanoeBerry |
1 week election is a bit short (shorter than we've had in the past, for folks completely offline on deployments it could be problematic) but best we move on. |
| 23:32 |
walterbender |
CanoeBerry, maybe you can recommend to the committee to extend it. |
| 23:32 |
Claudia_ |
some of the countries in latam are probably getting back from vacation |
| 23:32 |
walterbender |
I don't see why it would be a problem to run 2 weeks |
| 23:32 |
CanoeBerry |
Having a full month notice ahead of Jan 17 means all have plenty of notice, so best to leave good enough alone? |
| 23:32 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> In the south, all the month is on holiday in education |
| 23:32 |
CanoeBerry |
Either way, the world is more online that in times past. |
| 23:32 |
walterbender |
seems not everyone has gotten notified :P |
| 23:33 |
CanoeBerry |
Te real issue is folks not receiving notices that end up in bitbuckets of one kind or another. |
| 23:33 |
|
So plenty of advance notice can begin to heal this serious issue.. |
| 23:34 |
walterbender |
anyway... there is finally a plan :) |
| 23:34 |
CanoeBerry |
+7 |
| 23:34 |
walterbender |
shall we move on then? |
| 23:34 |
CanoeBerry |
Yes |
| 23:34 |
walterbender |

| 23:36 |
walterbender |
#topic travel |
| 23:36 |
CanoeBerry |
Congrats GCI mentors. |
| 23:37 |
walterbender |
Just a heads up that I will be spending some more Trip Advisor $ for some Turtle workshops |
| 23:37 |
|
Bangkok, in conjunction with the Constructionism Conference |
| 23:38 |
|
Devin, who has been helping me with Music Blocks (the music version of Turtle Blocks) will be joining me. |
| 23:38 |
|
(Devin has also be amazing in GCI) |
| 23:39 |
|
I sent an email about one month ago -- which wasn't in your SPAM folders since many of you replied to some of the other quetions |
| 23:39 |
Claudia_ |
I am so happy your papers got accepted at that conference |
| 23:39 |
walterbender |
the question that was not answered was about offering Devin a small stipend or honorarium |
| 23:40 |
|
he needs to take a week off from work and it is a hardship for him |
| 23:40 |
|
I'd like to give him $500 for his time and effort in organizing and running the workshop |
| 23:40 |
|
but as this is unprecedented, I want SLOB approval |
| 23:41 |
|
thoughts? comments? |
| 23:42 |
meeting |
<Jose_Miguel-es> Of agreement. |
| 23:42 |
Claudia_ |

walterbender |
Claudia_, yes |

Claudia_ |
where does he teach? hoping to meet him |
| 23:44 |
walterbender |
he teaches at the New England Conservatory of Music |
| 23:44 |
|
he is a big FOSS advocate |
| 23:44 |
Claudia_ |
nice |
| 23:45 |
|
I can't imagine the workshop without him |
| 23:47 |
walterbender |
OK. Seems we are OK with this. |
| 23:47 |
|
+1 from me too |
| 23:48 |
|
