 nat-418 | * Ultimately the application selection process is a wholly arbitrary fiat, an act of discernment and, put simply, a judgement call on the Board's part. They gave us this process and we have to try and make it work. | 08:23:01 |
| nat-418 | * The problem was the category of "vouched" itself being unclear. A nomination process would have avoided this whole issue. I fully understand Lunaphied's concerns but I think the reality is that the application format had a design flaw that infinisil innocently stumbled on. I think we can acknowledge this as a bug in the process without questioning Silvain's good faith. | 10:54:38 |
 ronef | Morning
In an aim to further assure folks.
That section is indeed unclear and the presence of Board Members being on or off that list won't be meaningful for the appointment process. I believe it had an initial intention to potentially serve as a "reference call" of sorts, which we might not have time for regardless.
And therefore if I'm on a list, I will not use myself as a reference call. | 11:56:28 |
 lassulus | hmm, I also send in an application yesterday, but it didn't show up in the stream yet, is there a pre filtering happening or is my mail stuck somewhere? :D | 15:28:11 |

hmm, I also send in an application yesterday, but it didn't show up in the stream yet, is there a pre filtering happening or is my mail stuck somewhere? :D Apparently yes, a filter called GMail spam filter 😬 | 15:33:30 |
| lassulus | oh noes, yeah gmail sometimes doesn't like my mailserver | 15:33:46 |
| @theophane:hufschmitt.net | Sorry about that, I'll publish your application and make sure I check my spams again in case others arrive | 15:33:59 |
| lassulus | thanks! | 15:34:05 |
| @theophane:hufschmitt.net | Done, https://nixpkgs.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/436732-Constitutional-assembly-applications/topic/Lassulus | 15:36:24 |
 hexa | the 3rd and fourth link are broken and go back to the zulip? | 15:37:47 |
| lassulus | weird | 15:38:17 |
 djacu | I had not read rfc 0173. Thank you for sharing that in your application. | 15:39:21 |
|  NixOS Moderation Bot unbanned  @apcodes:matrix.org. | 17:07:25 |
| ronef | We should do another call out that if someone doesn't see their application posted to ping us via Matrix or Zulip to check on it | 17:12:07 |
| hexa | should mention all users on the instance using @all | 17:19:34 |
 @joepie91:pixie.town | (notice: I have sent an application also) | 20:34:41 |
 raitobezarius | AFAIK, Théophane is offline and won't fetch the application until tomorrow FWIW | 20:35:18 |
| ronef | I'll try to fetch them a bit later today (on planes today) | 20:41:09 |
| @joepie91:pixie.town | that's fine, just wanting to make sure it's known about, in case it doesn't make it past the spam filters :) | 20:43:48 |
|  @yuka:yuka.dev joined the room. | 21:37:21 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | Hi, please confirm you have received my application | 21:43:38 |
| 13 May 2024 |
| ronef | confirmed | 02:43:12 |
| @theophane:hufschmitt.net | I'm going through the unpublished applications right now | 04:02:31 |
| @theophane:hufschmitt.net | ( joepie91 🏳️🌈, Yureka (she/her): I confirm that I have both of yours) | 04:03:32 |
| @theophane:hufschmitt.net | And done! | 04:48:36 |
 infinisil | Damn, lots of applications, very happy with the turnout! | 05:25:15 |
| @yuka:yuka.dev | It bothers me that the markdown formatting of my application has been half lost | 06:29:19 |
| @theophane:hufschmitt.net | In reply to @yuka:yuka.dev
It bothers me that the markdown formatting of my application has been half lost Yes, sorry about that. I did some best-effort reformatting to make the applications look OK on Zulip, but I couldn't fine-tune them, ans Zulip's markup is quite strict apparently. Feel free to send a better version, I'll update the post. | 09:51:39 |
| @theophane:hufschmitt.net | (Ideally as a Zulip DM so that the markup is provably correct 🙃) | 09:52:04 |
