= Ubuntu-AU Local Meetings =

In [[AustralianTeam/Brisbane|Brisbane]], we've been having social gatherings on a quarterly basis.  [[PaulGear|I'm]] proposing that we hold technical gatherings monthly in the two months between each quarterly social gathering.

Here are the current suggestions about what the meetings would look like:
 * Location:
  * family-friendly venue (i.e. not a pub, fully non-smoking venue)
  * convenient location (central, or perhaps rotating through different regions)
  * free parking
  * close to public transport
  * easy access to coffee/food (or at least facilities to prepare such)
  * free/very cheap wireless Internet access
  * preferably a local Ubuntu mirror
 * Activities:
  * install-fests
  * [[AustralianTeam/Projects/BugJams|BugJams]]
  * share problems or challenges and try to solve them together
  * informal technical talks about things we're working on
  * accessible to all levels of technical expertise (i.e. newbie friendly)
  * open to potential Ubuntu users as well as actual Ubuntu users
  * log our actions on IRC and/or wiki
