Custom BIONICLE Wiki:Board Meeting/Archive B/Session 6

Log of BMS6B

21:17	Fezmaster	I officially call this sixth meeting of the Board of Trustees to order.
21:18	Fezmaster	All members are present, so we can reach full consensus on this matter. Anyone have anything to bring to the floor first?
21:18	J97Auditore	What is today's topic of inquiry?
21:18	Wide_brimmed_Rotaxian_hat	Not sure.
21:19		*** Wide_brimmed_Rotaxian_hat is now known as Varkanax
21:19	Shadowmaster	Well.
21:19	Shadowmaster	TDG, you said you wanted to discuss something?
21:20	Todunga	        Yes.
21:20	Todunga	        I recall now.
21:21	Todunga	        I think we need more rollbacks, for one. (Most of the other points I wanted passed in the fifth meeting).
21:21	Todunga	        Two is fine, but I think having more would not hurt.
21:21	J97Auditore	At the moment we have....
21:21	Todunga	        We could use as a merit badge.
21:21	J97Auditore	Echo and Baterra?
21:21	Shadowmaster	I agree on a third one.
21:22	Shadowmaster	I discussed Roden last meeting.
21:22	Todunga	        Like, "Be a good editor and get rollback if you're lukcy" or something.
21:22	Varkanax	I think Rodan should be promoted.
21:22	Varkanax	And Echo.
21:22	Todunga	        Echo already is rollback.
21:22	Shadowmaster	Echo's been promoted already.
21:22	Todunga	        Roden yes.
21:22	Todunga	        All in favour Roden's promotion, skipping the voting?
21:22	Fezmaster	Echo should be given time to fill in his new role.
21:23	Fezmaster	We can't promote less than a month after allowing him to become a rollback.
21:23	J97Auditore	Yeah
21:23	Fezmaster	That's too quick, and we have enough staff administrators for now.
21:23	Shadowmaster	...
21:23	Jmanliciousness	I concur with CB.
21:23	Fezmaster	But more rollbacks would be an idea.
21:23	Shadowmaster	CB, do you think we're talking about promoting Echo to an admin?
21:23	Shadowmaster	Because that's not the case.
21:24	Shadowmaster	XP
21:24	Fezmaster	Ah whoops.
21:24	Shadowmaster	I just think Varkanax didn't realize Echo was promoted to rollback yet.
21:24	J97Auditore	We're talking about promoting Roden to rollback.
21:24	Varkanax	Whoops...
21:24	Fezmaster	But I'd just like to bring that point up when it comes to discussing promoting new rollbacks.
21:24	Varkanax	Echo is a rollback already.
21:24	Jmanliciousness	Oh CB. *sitcom laugh track*
21:25	Todunga	        All in favour Roden's promotion, skipping the voting?
21:25	Fezmaster	Aye.
21:25	Jmanliciousness	Aye.
21:25	J97Auditore	Aye.
21:25	Varkanax	Aye
21:25	Shadowmaster	I'm in favor with his promotion, not skipping the voting.
21:25	Shadowmaster	But Aye, I guess.
21:25	Todunga	        Motion passed.
21:25	Todunga	        Anyone have any other issues?
21:25	Varkanax	Ninja'd
21:25	J97Auditore	Hm.
21:26	Shadowmaster	You all knew you agreed on skipping the voting, right, though? Just checking.
21:26	Varkanax	http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Varkanax39/The_XMS_Guide
21:26	Varkanax	This.
21:26	J97Auditore	I know.
21:26	Varkanax	Same.
21:26	Jmanliciousness	Yes, I know what I voted for.
21:26		Varkanax is self-promoting again.
21:26	Fezmaster	Anyway....
21:26	Todunga	        Huh? That's in the BoT meeting?
21:26	Fezmaster	Does anyone else have anything to bring to the Board's attention?
21:26	Jmanliciousness	Self Promoting? CHECK OUT MISGUIDED ON JULY THIRD EVERYBODY
21:26	Jmanliciousness	Anyway
21:27	Jmanliciousness	I think we need to promote the YouTube channel more
21:27	Varkanax	Same,
21:27	Fezmaster	Jman, do you have anything to bring up from our YouTube channel?
21:27	J97Auditore	Someone needs to make a blog about it.
21:27	Fezmaster	NVM.
21:27	Varkanax	also, can we agree to all attend the podcast on July 30th?
21:27	Varkanax	*June
21:27	Shadowmaster	I have something to say.
21:27	J97Auditore	Someone being Jman
21:27	Varkanax	June 30th.
21:27	Todunga	        Maybe have an updated videos section on the main page or portal?
21:27	Jmanliciousness	I did.
21:27	Shadowmaster	When will aforementioned podcast be?
21:27	Todunga	        I can attend.
21:27	J97Auditore	CB won't be able to make it.
21:27	Fezmaster	Indeed.
21:27	Jmanliciousness	Literally nobody paid attention to it.
21:27	Varkanax	I know you can, but it looks like CB can;t.
21:27	Varkanax	*can't.
21:27	Fezmaster	It is impossible for me to make the podcast.
21:27	Varkanax	Okay.
21:28	J97Auditore	I can get there.
21:28	Varkanax	Let me know when internet guy fixes your modem.
21:28	Fezmaster	TDG or SM can take my spot as a host.
21:28	Jmanliciousness	http://custombionicle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Jman98/Submit_Your_Videos_to_Custom_BIONICLE!
21:28	Shadowmaster	When is it EST?
21:28	Fezmaster	Will do.
21:28	Jmanliciousness	Blog Post I was talking about earlier
21:28	Varkanax	8:00 EST.
21:28	Shadowmaster	Hm...
21:28	Shadowmaster	I probably won't be able to make it.
21:29	J97Auditore	Unfortunate.
21:29	Varkanax	Well, as long as we have at least four admins there, it works.
21:29	Shadowmaster	What time is 8:00 EST in PDT time?
21:29	Varkanax	Someone should PM Ids.
21:30		*** Todunga quit (NickServ (GHOST command used by ThatDevilGuy))
21:30	Jmanliciousness	About what?
21:31	Jmanliciousness	I usually talk to him a lot.
21:31	Jmanliciousness	Oh wait nevermind
21:31	Jmanliciousness	I see.
21:31	Fezmaster	Hmmm.
21:31	Jmanliciousness	I'll ask him about it.
21:31	Fezmaster	Okay good.
21:31	Fezmaster	Are there any other matters we wish to discuss?
21:31	J97Auditore	I can't think of anything
21:32	Jmanliciousness	We need to emphasize that you can submit videos.
21:32	Jmanliciousness	Maybe it's because of people seem to like using copyrighted music, though. X_X
21:32	Shadowmaster	Wait.
21:32	Shadowmaster	Don't close the meeting yet.
21:32	Shadowmaster	I still have more to bring forth.
21:32	Varkanax	I"m thinking we really need to promote the site more.
21:33	Varkanax	I've been trying to advertise the XMS on fanfiction.net, but it's been basically ignored.
21:33	J97Auditore	I think we need to promote WMF more on CBW.
21:33	Varkanax	BZP's been slightly more successful,
21:33	Shadowmaster	I agree.
21:33	J97Auditore	Most users don't take part in WMF matters at all.
21:33	Varkanax	Indeed.
21:33	Shadowmaster	Of course.
21:33	Varkanax	I have a WMF account.
21:33	Jmanliciousness	That's a given.
21:33	Shadowmaster	I think we agreed on this and we never actually did anything.
21:33	Jmanliciousness	I'll work on making a WMF video on the channel.
21:33	Shadowmaster	I believe we need to promote Mibbit, WMF, and CBW itself more.
21:34	Fezmaster	Indeed.
21:34	Shadowmaster	We should make a blog post on it after.
21:34	Varkanax	Help on fanfiction.net would be appreciated.
21:34	Fezmaster	Of course.
21:34	Shadowmaster	Remember the main page update crew?
21:34	Shadowmaster	The one we agreed to support?
21:34	Fezmaster	Yes.
21:34	J97Auditore	Yes.
21:34	Shadowmaster	We need to pick who to nominate for it.
21:35	Shadowmaster	I'd say we need to pick about 8 people or so.
21:35	Shadowmaster	And 6 should win.
21:35	J97Auditore	Hm
21:35	Shadowmaster	1 for each major section and an extra.
21:35	J97Auditore	Roden for one
21:36	Fezmaster	PepsiCola.
21:36	Jmanliciousness	Maybe Matoro1?
21:36	Varkanax	Not me.
21:36	Varkanax	I'm pretty bad at updating the Main Page.
21:36	Jmanliciousness	PepsiCola's an admin, he has to do that now.
21:36	Varkanax	Though I suppose I could volunteer, if people want me to.
21:36	J97Auditore	I'd say maybe three staff and three regular users could
21:37	Shadowmaster	Roden, Matoro1...
21:37	Fezmaster	I think it should be a rule that all admins should still have to help with the MP from time to time.
21:37	Varkanax	Indeed.
21:37	J97Auditore	Right.
21:39	Varkanax	I GTG
21:39	Varkanax	It's late, and I have a bunch of work to do.
21:39	J97Auditore	See ya
21:39	Todunga	        Byes
21:40	Fezmaster	
21:40	Fezmaster	Cheerio!
21:40	Shadowmaster	Who else should we appoint?
21:40	Shadowmaster	Or nominate.
21:40	Fezmaster	Let's see....
21:40		*** Varkanax quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
21:40	Fezmaster	We've got PepsiCola, Roden....
21:41	Shadowmaster	Well.
21:41	Shadowmaster	I'd think the admins should be left out of the crew.
21:41	Todunga	        Pepsi is admin.
21:41	Fezmaster	Okay.
21:41	Fezmaster	Maybe M1?
21:41	Todunga	        Appoint to what? The Podcast?
21:41	Shadowmaster	They already have the ability and pretty much the requirement to update it.
21:41	Shadowmaster	No, the main page crew.
21:42	Todunga	        Ah.
21:42	J97Auditore	Yes
21:42	Shadowmaster	Sure, M1 sounds good.
21:42	Shadowmaster	Echo?
21:43	J97Auditore	Yes.
21:43	J97Auditore	Lessee.
21:43	J97Auditore	M1, Echo, Roden
21:43	Shadowmaster	Hm...
21:43	Shadowmaster	I think we can have 4.
21:43	Jmanliciousness	Hmm
21:43	J97Auditore	Who do you have in mind?
21:44	Fezmaster	We need one more.
21:44	Shadowmaster	Hm...
21:44	Jmanliciousness	SubAqua maybe? I dunno.
21:45	Shadowmaster	Hm...
21:45	Shadowmaster	SubAqua sounds good.
21:45	Shadowmaster	Now we're going to need to nominate some backups.
21:45	Jmanliciousness	...
21:45	Todunga	        Fixing things.
21:46	Todunga	        SubAqau does sound like a good choice.
21:46	J97Auditore	What ideas do you have for backups?
21:46	Shadowmaster	I don't know.
21:47	J97Auditore	Maybe the admins could be backups
21:47	Todunga	Backups in the crew?
21:47	Shadowmaster	Admins could be backups, good idea.
21:47	J97Auditore	Yeah.
21:47	Shadowmaster	Now, should we nominate these people for voting or just appoint them immediately?
21:47	J97Auditore	I'd say nominate
21:48	Todunga	        Appint right away.
21:48	Todunga	        *appoint
21:48	Jmanliciousness	Nominate. Since they may not even want to do it.
21:48	Fezmaster	Alright.
21:49	Shadowmaster	How about we message them first asking if they want to, then either choose others if they decline or appoint them if they accept?
21:49	Fezmaster	Yes.
21:49	Shadowmaster	All agreed?
21:49	Todunga	Aye
21:49	Jmanliciousness	Yep
21:50	J97Auditore	Indeed
21:50	Shadowmaster	Aye.
21:50	Shadowmaster	Alright.
21:50	Shadowmaster	On a vote of 5-0, this motion is officially passed.
21:51	J97Auditore	Right
21:51	J97Auditore	Any other topics?
21:51	Shadowmaster	Matoro1, Roden, SubAqua, and Echo 1 will be messaged asking if they wish to join the crew.
21:51	Jmanliciousness	No other topics from me. I've already mentioned my points.
21:52	Todunga	        Roden will be promoted to rollback right away?
21:52	Shadowmaster	Yeah.
21:52	J97Auditore	Yes.
21:52	Jmanliciousness	Yes.
21:52	J97Auditore	So, meeting closed?
21:52	Jmanliciousness	CB, if you will.
21:52	Shadowmaster	I concur, meeting closed.
21:52	Fezmaster	I concur.
21:53	Fezmaster	I officially declare this meeting of honoured representatives over.
