XMPP Council - 2022-11-04

and we have a real election this year \o/

jonas’: thanks for reapplying!

don't ask me how, but MattJ asking what my decision was based on convinced me.

somehow I feel very trumpy with my campaign slogan, and it suddenly seems inappropriate to me

nice!

why trumpy? isn't it more greyjoyy?

jonas’: the immediate content is greyjoyy, but the idea is trumpy

how so?

I used to have "Make XMPP Great Again" in that line

I know

last year even, right?

ah no

I think I started this in 2020

but since 2020, you didn't use MXGA

Ah. Maybe I should drop out again. I understood from Matt’s mail that we were going to be short.

it looked like that three days ago I think :)

as I said elsewhere, the yearly game of chicken with the council/board applications

we *are* short for board though

Kev for board!

I am the wrong person for Board. I am vaguely qualified for Council For Board I’d just be another of the persona we sometimes get who stands, gets elected, turns up for meetings and contributes nothing.

Sounds like you'd be a great fit

So I should apply on a platform of “I will do nothing but offer opinions and satisfy our requirement to have a Board”? I could conceivably do that :p

You had us at "turns up for meetings" ;)

I don’t think that’s the sort of person we need, but maybe it’s better than no person.

> You had us at "turns up for meetings" ;) Depressingly, I’m not sure that you’re joking.
