ubuntu membership now through edubuntu and new meeting schedule

hi all,

as it happens the community council wants to give some of
its
responsibilitys away to the derivatives (kubuntu, edubuntu).

this means some changes for us all:

 * change the meeting to a new time schedule (we want to
keep the   
   wednesday as our meeting day, but to be able to approve
new members 
   we'll need to offer more timeslots to cover more
timezones). 

   the proposal we worked out in todays meeting is like
that:
   we'll have two timeslots we flip every second meeting,
one will be 
   held at 10:00 UTC the other at 20:00 UTC

 * we still have our fixed weekly agenda, but switched to a
wikipage 
   based system like CC and TB do, you can find the page at:
   https
://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuMeetingAgenda so if you
have 
   special topics you want discussed, please add them in the

   "Additional Topics" area

 * member approvals. edubuntu is now able to approve new 
   ubuntu/edubuntu members, if you aim for membership we're
able to 
   approve you. the same membership rules as for ubuntu
apply (need of 
   a proven sustained contribution, documenting your work on
your 
   wikipage, signed code of conduct) and we wont be easier
to pass than 
   the CC ;). we decided to start with doint membership
approvals on 
   every first meeting of a month. if you want to apply for
memebership 
   through edubuntu, see the bottom section of the above
mentioned 
   agenda wikipage.

 * we will need to build an edubuntu council. for now Jane
Weideman and 
   myself will take that role, but we both feel that a
edubuntu 
   community council should have community members indeed,
so we'd like 
   to have one or two additional members elected by the
community to be 
   able to voice up against us [1] ;).


please comment on that mail, we're eager for community
input on that
issue.

[1] suggestion was that people can nominate themselves, or
be nominated
by others, then need somebody seconding them and then get
voted upon in
the next meeting. so please if you have ambitions to join
the edubuntu
council or want to suggest someone, go ahead ! 

ciao
