Hi all, We'll have an advisory board meeting at 1th June 2012 11:00 UTC in #mer-meeting on irc.freenode.net. This is the last advisory board meeting in this term for the current advisory board and every Maintainer and Technical Lead is suggested to show up to vote.
The agenda is: 0. Followup on actions and confirming minutes from last meeting, http://mer.bfst.de/meetings/mer-meeting/2012/mer-meeting.2012-05-18-11.00.html 1. Nomination for Iekku Pylkkä as Bugzilla Maintainer http://www.mail-archive.com/mer-general@lists.merproject.org/msg00509.html 2. Vote on term length for advisory board, 3 or 6 months 3. Dissolving current advisory board and selecting new advisory board. According to Mer governance[1], we should have a advisory board of 7 people: Architect (chairman, non-voting), 2 representatives from interest groups, 2 representatives from Technical Leads, 2 representatives from maintainers. 3.1 As we currently have only 2 interest groups, I propose we re-instate the current set-up with a representative seat from Nemo Project and a representative seat from Plasma Active. Voting by technical leads and maintainers on this. 3.2 Provided Iekku's nomination got accepted, we now have only 2 maintainers, Marko Saukko (sage) and Iekku Pylkkä (sage). I propose we establish those two as the two representatives from maintainers. Maintainers vote upon this. 3.3 At the current time, we have only 2 technical leads, Esa-Pekka Miettinen (E-P) and David Greaves. I propose we establish those two as the two representatives from technical leads grouping. Technical leads vote upon this. 3.4 Summarize and introduce the new advisory board representatives 3.5 Confirm Carsten Munk (Stskeeps) as project architect (vote by representatives) and composite new Advisory Board and state end of term date according to item 2) Representatives are supposed to be actually representing, ie represent the interest groups/technical leads/maintainers that voted upon them and their views. Representatives can be external to the voting group. In the future, when there are more interest groups, according to governance we will be asking the maintainers and technical leads to publically state what primary interest group they belong to. Then according to those, the interest groups (with vote amounts in mind) point to representatives who should sit in the Advisory board. This would be the representatives with the top 2 votes. When there are more technical leads than 2, there will be a vote amongst them to select the representatives in the Advisory board. This would be the representatives with the top 2 votes. When there are more maintainers than 2, there will be a vote amongst them (excluding those who are both technical leads and maintainers at same time), to select their representatives in the Advisory board. This would be the representatives with the top 2 votes. 4. Any other business BR Carsten Munk
