• <AlanBell> [topic] talk about etherpad

talk about etherpad

• <AlanBell> so we use etherpad for getting documents started mainly

  <akgraner> that is a great idea

• _marx_ has not used etherpad

  <AlanBell> [link] http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org

• <akgraner> _marx_, it's awesome

  <AlanBell> we used it here to draft some new meeting guidelines http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/oAOozkiuN8

  <_marx_> AlanBell: does mootbot still have an hour time shift

  <AlanBell> which kind of falls into the same "make meetings more awesome" project that the mootbot code does

  <AlanBell> = Meeting opened by AlanBell at 15:44 =

  <AlanBell> which is right, from my point of view

  <AlanBell> [topic] moin syntax

moin syntax

• <akgraner> yep it's the right time

  <AlanBell> so what did you think of the layout I am using?

  <_marx_> i wanted to see how it looks

  <akgraner> AlanBell, do you have the wiki for your agenda

• _marx_ still learning moin syntax

  <AlanBell> it is really quite easy to change it

  <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeamMeetingAgenda

  <AlanBell> so the agenda is a hierachical set of topics

  <akgraner> AlanBell, so you include the Mootbot commands on the agenda.. that's interesting

  <AlanBell> and we are not scared of putting mootbot syntax commands right there in the agenda

  <AlanBell> copy and paste ftw

  <akgraner> yep

  <AlanBell> and giving the chair more time to think about chair things

  <akgraner> I like it - and people can learn the commands with realizing they are even learning

  <AlanBell> good point

  <akgraner> and using mootbot doesn't become so scary

  <AlanBell> it also allows more text to be prepared for a topic

  <akgraner> yep I can see many uses for doing it that way

  <AlanBell> and something I think could be good in several channels is having the text of a vote being prepared in advance

  <akgraner> _marx_, handles the NC meetings

  <akgraner> AlanBell, yep I have to agree

  <AlanBell> [vote] use mootbot in tomorrows -nc meeting

• <AlanBell> +1

• _marx_ needs to move to a different computer

  <_marx_> +1

  <AlanBell> where is akgraner's vote?

  <AlanBell> oh akgraner do a private vote

  <AlanBell> /msg Mootbot-UK +1

  <akgraner> sorry I had a call

  <AlanBell> [endvote]

• <AlanBell> ah, bug in the output right now, already fixed but not in the version on the server

  <AlanBell> ok, I think that has covered most things

  <AlanBell> [agreed] yes it has

• <akgraner> yep thanks

  <AlanBell> [action] AlanBell to poke daviey to get the bot in -nc

• <AlanBell> who is chairing your meeting tomorrow?

• _marx_ is

  <AlanBell> [action] _marx_ to chair the -nc meeting

• AlanBell looks at the source to see if there are any unused commands

  <akgraner> _marx_, what do you think?

  <AlanBell> [idea] think about layout changes that might help

• <AlanBell> [progress report] mootbot progress

mootbot progress
