Cbrown and another contrib have added comments so far [2008-02-13 19:15:35] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca +m by Mitchell [2008-02-13 19:15:40] <Alan_Ca> Thanks Mitchell [2008-02-13 19:15:42] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca -o Mitchell by Mitchell [2008-02-13 19:15:49] <Alan_Ca> Thank you for attending everyone [2008-02-13 19:16:05] <Alan_Ca> It's too bad that we lost ohana, but it seems his Internet can be hit or miss at the best of times [2008-02-13 19:16:24] <Mitchell> :( [2008-02-13 19:16:37] <Alan_Ca> WKnight, in respect to HOTRs comments, will you have an opportunity to review the bylaws at some point in the near future? [2008-02-13 19:17:40] <Alan_Ca> ok, moving along :) [2008-02-13 19:17:42] <HOTR> I've worked through a bit of the dead tree boilerplate, and have made some notes which I will be adding to the wikipages. It was my hope to have a lawyer friend just skim through it, and let me know if there were any "Woa there" problems, but he's not available until next week [2008-02-13 19:18:08] <Alan_Ca> Ok, so HOTR we should expect something by the end of February? [2008-02-13 19:18:54] <HOTR> Alan_Ca: Yes, wknight has been extremely helpful, and I appreciate him reviewing the bylaws. He has indicated that he will comment on them. [2008-02-13 19:19:23] <HOTR> Alan_Ca: Yes, for end of february. [2008-02-13 19:19:32] <Mitchell> :) [2008-02-13 19:19:34] <Alan_Ca> ok, I want to be careful not to task him with reviewing them frequently as I'm sure they will change as we have public discussion about some of the controversial components [2008-02-13 19:20:02] <Alan_Ca> HOTR, can you identify any controversial components in the bylaws? [2008-02-13 19:20:05] -->| OhanaUnited (i=OhanaUni@user24-90.wireless.utoronto.ca) has joined #wikimedia-ca [2008-02-13 19:20:07] <HOTR> I think that as is, they are shaping up pretty nicely. We still need to have more of a statement of purpose, but I'm not sure that is legally needed in the bylaws themselves. [2008-02-13 19:20:09] <Alan_Ca> I know membership fees is one issue [2008-02-13 19:20:19] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca +v OhanaUnited by ChanServ [2008-02-13 19:20:26] <HOTR> I'm aiming to have them legal-ready in the next couple of weeks. [2008-02-13 19:20:48] <Alan_Ca> HOTR, please be sure to ask about how we would deal with the membership fee in relation to launching the corporation [2008-02-13 19:22:51] <Alan_Ca> Ok Hotr? [2008-02-13 19:23:14] <HOTR> I will; but I'm quite sure that the actual fee should not be enshrined in the bylaws themselves. A reference to "a fee, if any", should be good enough. [2008-02-13 19:23:41] <Alan_Ca> Hotr, I mean in terms of having the fee in place for the voting of the first official board of directors [2008-02-13 19:24:04] <Alan_Ca> As in, I wish to have a fee instated as part of the formation process, if not in the bylaw text as an appendix [2008-02-13 19:24:23] <Alan_Ca> But that is a point which we will debate, but I want to know if we decide to go that way how we would do that [2008-02-13 19:24:42] <HOTR> Ok, I've made a note of it, and I will ask for clarification. [2008-02-13 19:24:59] <Alan_Ca> Thank you [2008-02-13 19:25:09] <Alan_Ca> The other pressing issue we have is that of the members at large [2008-02-13 19:25:30] <Mitchell> Firstly, how many? [2008-02-13 19:25:37] <Mitchell> I was thinking three. [2008-02-13 19:26:00] <OhanaUnited> ditto [2008-02-13 19:26:13] <OhanaUnited> but also 4 [2008-02-13 19:26:17] <OhanaUnited> either way... [2008-02-13 19:26:22] <HOTR> How many nominations do we have? [2008-02-13 19:26:32] <Alan_Ca> Ok, Ayelie wishes to join this discussion [2008-02-13 19:26:34] <Mitchell> 4 so far I think [2008-02-13 19:26:41] <Alan_Ca> Quick poll, is that fair? [2008-02-13 19:26:54] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca +v Ayelie by ChanServ [2008-02-13 19:27:02] <Alan_Ca> ok, so it is done [2008-02-13 19:27:12] <Alan_Ca> I wanted to say that I don't want to turn away volunteers [2008-02-13 19:27:12] <Ayelie> Thank you :) [2008-02-13 19:27:41] <HOTR> The steering committee should be a bit flexible ... we're here to get a job done, not get tied up too much on formalities, IMHO [2008-02-13 19:27:41] <Alan_Ca> My reasoning for forming a committee is to try and keep a tightly focussed group together on starting the charity [2008-02-13 19:28:39] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca +o Mitchell by ChanServ [2008-02-13 19:28:41] <OhanaUnited> how about... 4 for now, and if we want to add more individuals, then it goes thru a vote inside steering committee [2008-02-13 19:28:47] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca -m by Mitchell [2008-02-13 19:28:57] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca -v Mitchell by Mitchell [2008-02-13 19:29:03] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca -o Mitchell by Mitchell [2008-02-13 19:29:07] <kibble> :-D [2008-02-13 19:29:10] =-= Mode #wikimedia-ca +v Mitchell by ChanServ [2008-02-13 19:29:12] <Mitchell> oops [2008-02-13 19:29:18] <Alan_Ca> Mitchell, didn't someone resign from the list? [2008-02-13 19:29:24] <Mitchell> Yes [2008-02-13 19:29:27] <OhanaUnited> yes [2008-02-13 19:29:36] <Mitchell> http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Canada/Steering_Committee [2008-02-13 19:29:39] <Alan_Ca> Ayelie, where are you located?

[2008-02-13 19:30:09] <Alan_Ca> and you want to help out how? [2008-02-13 19:30:36] <Mitchell> Current noms: Shanel, Pathoschild, Ayelie, and Ktsquare [2008-02-13 19:30:46] <Ayelie> Any way I can :) I've designed the logo so far, I'm up for updating wiki pages and sending out notices of meetings, I can also do other graphic designs if we need letterheads etc. [2008-02-13 19:30:59] <OhanaUnited> i support including all 4 current noms [2008-02-13 19:31:10] <Alan_Ca> I don't have an issue, if they have a purpose [2008-02-13 19:31:11] <cary> Shanel and Pathoschild are effectively a combined unit :) [2008-02-13 19:31:12] <OhanaUnited> and if there're moe people wishing to help, they can contact steering committee [2008-02-13 19:31:13] <Mitchell> I don't think we have a good graphic artist yet [2008-02-13 19:31:26] * kibble poitns at Ayelie [2008-02-13 19:31:32] <Mitchell> exactly :) [2008-02-13 19:31:34] <cary> (just my thoughts) so putting one on is like putting both of them on. :-) [2008-02-13 19:31:34] <Ayelie> :D [2008-02-13 19:31:39] <Alan_Ca> I don't know Ayelie, but she seems interested in handling that side of things [2008-02-13 19:31:47] <HOTR> We could do 4 members at large ... the only thing I'd like to ensure is that we have one Francophone in that group (I think Pathos fits that in the current group) [2008-02-13 19:32:00] <Ayelie> Cary and kibble can vouch for me, they know me well - if you need outside opinions ;) [2008-02-13 19:32:00] <kibble> and Shanel is like fr-2 or so [2008-02-13 19:32:05] <kibble> Ayelie, :-D [2008-02-13 19:32:11] <Alan_Ca> but we don't need two people for that job [2008-02-13 19:32:13] <cary> Pathos is definitely a bilingual [2008-02-13 19:32:16] <Ayelie> Pathoschild is bilingual, he's in Quebec. [2008-02-13 19:32:50] <Alan_Ca> Ok, well I move that we appoint Ayelie as the Web editor [2008-02-13 19:33:05] <Alan_Ca> She seems to have skills in both official languages and a great interest in maintaining the project page [2008-02-13 19:33:17] <Mitchell> Seconded as Webmaster [2008-02-13 19:33:30] <HOTR> Ayelie: Is he Francophone? (We have some other fr+1 people on list/in here, but I think it would be good if we had a native speaker onboard) [2008-02-13 19:33:31] <Alan_Ca> Any opposition? [2008-02-13 19:33:33] <Ayelie> Pathoschild is also a html/css guru, I believe he was designing the main page - we can work together on that front [2008-02-13 19:33:42] <Ayelie> so he can do the French portions with me. [2008-02-13 19:33:43] <cary> Pathoschild is a native bilingual [2008-02-13 19:33:49] <Ayelie> I think that will work out perfectly [2008-02-13 19:33:50] <Mitchell> http://tinyurl.com/34y7cx [2008-02-13 19:33:53] <cary> both languages [2008-02-13 19:33:57] <Mitchell> I started a but of something [2008-02-13 19:33:59] <Mitchell> *bit [2008-02-13 19:34:06] <Mitchell> For the project page [2008-02-13 19:34:12] <Alan_Ca> Well I am uncomforable appointing people who are not present [2008-02-13 19:34:20] <cary> I'm looking for him [2008-02-13 19:34:20] <Alan_Ca> as attendance is a big part of workin on this team [2008-02-13 19:34:28] <Alan_Ca> Possibly we could discuss that possibility at another time [2008-02-13 19:34:34] <kibble> Alan_Ca, well, they were here for the other meetings [2008-02-13 19:34:47] <kibble> their schedules probalby had a conflict [2008-02-13 19:34:48] <Alan_Ca> Right, but I'm not comfortable giving them a position while they are absent [2008-02-13 19:34:52] <Alan_Ca> That's fine [2008-02-13 19:34:55] <Alan_Ca> But they are not here now [2008-02-13 19:35:05] <Alan_Ca> Ohana, your thoughts?

Or would you prefer to help out in an auxilary capacity? [2008-02-13 19:40:11] <Pathoschild> Not necessarily on the committee, although I'm not entirely antipathic to the idea. [2008-02-13 19:40:17] <Alan_Ca> Ok [2008-02-13 19:40:44] <Alan_Ca> I appreciate your interest Jesse, I think you can provide a great deal of help, but I believe it would be best if you were not on the committee itself [2008-02-13 19:40:59] <Alan_Ca> Ohana, mitch, your thoughts? [2008-02-13 19:41:29] <Mitchell> Not much to say, if they're interested in STeerCom, I'd support them. [2008-02-13 19:42:07] <Alan_Ca> I don't know if we all agree on the reason for having a committee versus a dynamic group [2008-02-13 19:42:20] <OhanaUnited> i hav to think [2008-02-13 19:42:33] <Pathoschild> Alan_Ca: That's fine with me. I don't mind helping in an auxiliary capacity. [2008-02-13 19:42:34] <Mitchell> I see the Steering COmmittee as just that -- steering the group. [2008-02-13 19:43:02] <Alan_Ca> Well Mitchell, the committee is a directed team [2008-02-13 19:43:02] <Alan_Ca> As a team we need regular attendance to meetings [2008-02-13 19:43:09] <Alan_Ca> It's not about who we like or not, it's about who has time to help [2008-02-13 19:43:11] <Shanel> Pathoschild: Translating I hope. :D [2008-02-13 19:43:14] <Mitchell> Yea [2008-02-13 19:43:19] <Alan_Ca> Thanks Jesse [2008-02-13 19:43:25] <Alan_Ca> You're really simplifying my life here :) [2008-02-13 19:43:30] <Pathoschild> :) [2008-02-13 19:43:30] <kibble> Alan_Ca, it would be helpful if you sent out a reminder to the mailing list before each meeting [2008-02-13 19:43:33] <kibble> (just a suggestion) [2008-02-13 19:43:45] <Alan_Ca> Sure Kibble, but let's stay focussed on this issue [2008-02-13 19:43:46] <Mitchell> I meant to do that today :( [2008-02-13 19:43:54] <Alan_Ca> Shanel, is your first name Shanel? [2008-02-13 19:44:02] <kibble> Alan_Ca, it is; you said people did not attend, that's a solution [2008-02-13 19:44:18] <Shanel> Alan_Ca: Yep. [2008-02-13 19:44:34] <Alan_Ca> Right Kibble, thank you [2008-02-13 19:44:49] <Alan_Ca> Shanel, do you have an interest in serving on the steering committee? [2008-02-13 19:45:59] <Shanel> Alan_Ca: I am interested in helping, but I am not sure what I'd be able to do on the steering committee. And since I'm in school I'd make that my first priority. [2008-02-13 19:46:17] <Alan_Ca> Ok, so possibly another auxiliary volunteer? [2008-02-13 19:46:22] <Shanel> Yep. :) [2008-02-13 19:46:28] <Alan_Ca> That sounds great to me as well [2008-02-13 19:46:51] =-= HOTR is now known as HistoryOnTheRoad [2008-02-13 19:47:04] <Shanel> Hey History [2008-02-13 19:47:10] <Alan_Ca> Ok [2008-02-13 19:47:18] <Alan_Ca> So Mitchell, do you have what you need to know?

[2008-02-13 19:48:25] <Mitchell> Ayelie being the webmaster [2008-02-13 19:48:36] <Mitchell> Correct? [2008-02-13 19:48:38] <Alan_Ca> So we dropped all the members at large except Ayelie and we will wait and see on KtSquare, but officially KTSquare is not on the committee [2008-02-13 19:48:42] <Alan_Ca> Yes [2008-02-13 19:49:02] <Alan_Ca> Ayelie, you will need to work with Mitchell closely as he manages a lot of the records and communications [2008-02-13 19:49:07] <Ayelie> Pathoschild are you still interested in helping with the webpage design and updating, particularly the French porition?

[2008-02-13 19:54:41] <Shanel> Ewwwww [2008-02-13 19:54:44] <Shanel> Boring [2008-02-13 19:54:48] <Ayelie> so our OFFICIAL logo has to be http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimediacanada-logo.png [2008-02-13 19:54:49] <Alan_Ca> But life [2008-02-13 19:55:00] <Ayelie> HOWEVER. she stated we can probably have a "community logo" [2008-02-13 19:55:12] <Alan_Ca> I definately oppose a community logo [2008-02-13 19:55:19] <Alan_Ca> We should only have one logo [2008-02-13 19:55:21] <Ayelie> Her statement was [2008-02-13 19:55:28] <Ayelie> "However, I don't see why Wikimedia Canada could not work with some kind [2008-02-13 19:55:30] <Ayelie> of "Canadian community" logo of their own for less official stuff."

It wouldn't be a logo, more of a "symbol" or something [2008-02-13 19:56:48] <Alan_Ca> And I cannot believe Delphine agreed to that, it sounds like the issue was avoided [2008-02-13 19:56:52] <Ayelie> My first design: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Canada_logo_proposal_1a.png [2008-02-13 19:57:07] <Ayelie> similar to the WMF logo, but entirely different at the same time [2008-02-13 19:57:17] * kibble loves it [2008-02-13 19:57:19] <Alan_Ca> It's nice [2008-02-13 19:57:25] <Mitchell> :) [2008-02-13 19:57:28] <Ayelie> two blue bars mimicking the bars on the Canadian Flag, also the "sea to sea" motto of Canada [2008-02-13 19:57:33] * Mitchell is pleased [2008-02-13 19:57:37] <cary> community logos are not unprecedented [2008-02-13 19:57:45] <Ayelie> second version has a larger map and smaller maple leaf: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Wikimedia_Canada_logo_proposal_1b.png [2008-02-13 19:57:50] <kibble> the foundation even has one [2008-02-13 19:57:51] <Ayelie> I like that version a bit better, personally.

[2008-02-13 20:00:29] <Ayelie> I agree that two logos is confusing, which is why I can take the text out of my version and we can just use it on web designs or things like that [2008-02-13 20:00:33] <OhanaUnited> for me, the image on the main WMC page looks good enough [2008-02-13 20:00:38] <Ayelie> the alternative I've already linked [2008-02-13 20:00:40] <OhanaUnited> except we hav to move the maple leaf elsewhere [2008-02-13 20:00:43] <Ayelie> OhanaUnited that isn't allowed [2008-02-13 20:00:47] <cary> Alan_Ca: The only logo that meets the guidelines is the one without the maple leaf [2008-02-13 20:00:48] <Ayelie> you can't modify the foundation logo [2008-02-13 20:00:52] <cary> it has to look like the foundation logo [2008-02-13 20:00:54] <Alan_Ca> Unfortunately, we are restriced [2008-02-13 20:01:01] <Alan_Ca> There is no point in trying to buck that reality [2008-02-13 20:01:06] <kibble> OhanaUnited, we cannot include that at all [2008-02-13 20:01:29] <OhanaUnited> =.= [2008-02-13 20:01:33] <Alan_Ca> I understand the frustration, but that is the price of working with WMF [2008-02-13 20:01:37] <kibble> OhanaUnited, yeah :-( [2008-02-13 20:01:46] <Ayelie> can we please hear what cary has to say about Delphine's explanation?
