Jan 11 21:03:59 <Mean-Machine> no own initiative? Jan 11 21:04:00 <ebel> If we get more organised with meetings and the like then we can get offical status from Canonical and get free stuff and the like.

Jan 11 21:07:10 <daxroc> What about some sort of viral Zero Cost marketing campaign. to promote A: ubuntu B: OSS in general Jan 11 21:07:30 <daxroc> Well other than time Jan 11 21:07:40 <Mean-Machine> ebel, well regular meetings means sending out emails/reminders to mailing list, setting up wiki Jan 11 21:08:04 <ebel> Mean-Machine: that's what I mean. Aside from IRC meetings (and related stuff), there's nothing else? Jan 11 21:08:11 <daxroc> Mean-Machine: I Think an actual website would be in better order? Jan 11 21:08:17 * ebel starts the ball rolling by offereing to put logs of this meeting on the wiki Jan 11 21:08:47 <Mean-Machine> daxroc, ubuntu-ie.org ?

Someone in UL has it Jan 11 21:09:37 <Mean-Machine> http://www.ubuntu-ie.org/ Jan 11 21:09:44 <Mean-Machine> we have one, don't we? Jan 11 21:10:28 <Mean-Machine> Thu, 01/01/2009 - 23:39 - administrator posted Jan 11 21:10:28 <Mean-Machine> Ubuntu-ie New Year's IRC Meeting Jan 11 21:11:15 <Mean-Machine> btw, we should stick to once a month meetings Jan 11 21:11:22 <Mean-Machine> I think Jan 11 21:11:40 <ebel> yeah good idea. Jan 11 21:13:28 <Mean-Machine> Ubuntu-ie Team Structure... when should we vote for new LoCo Team Point of Contact?

Jan 11 21:15:13 <czajkowski> maybe to get people involved explain what the role is and what they do? Jan 11 21:15:18 <ebel> Mean-Machine: yeah Jan 11 21:15:28 <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: aye Jan 11 21:15:42 <Mean-Machine> well, representing ubuntu local community in Ireland Jan 11 21:16:32 <Mean-Machine> and if someone wants to contact ubuntu-ie, you're the contact person Jan 11 21:16:54 <ebel> yup Jan 11 21:16:55 <Mean-Machine> for, canonical, ubuntu council, press etc Jan 11 21:17:59 <czajkowski> ok Jan 11 21:18:00 <czajkowski> cool Jan 11 21:18:17 <Mean-Machine> should we set a date for candidates to step forward? Jan 11 21:18:48 <czajkowski> might be an idea alright. Jan 11 21:19:00 <czajkowski> let folks think about it and then nominate/step forward Jan 11 21:19:54 <Mean-Machine> Action: send an email to mailink list and advertise on ubuntu-ie.org website Jan 11 21:20:54 <ebel> sounds good Jan 11 21:21:01 <Mean-Machine> for the ubuntu-ie.org website, we currently have 3 admins Jan 11 21:21:45 <Mean-Machine> it would also be great to have a new drupal-experienced admin Jan 11 21:22:32 <ebel> yeah Jan 11 21:22:36 <Mean-Machine> a real admin though, not like me :P someone who will mostly concentrate on the website Jan 11 21:22:51 * ebel knows nothing about drupal, but I know and hate php Jan 11 21:23:26 <czajkowski> well I do know there are going to be two talks about drupal from low and high end of drupal at the barcamp Jan 11 21:23:35 <czajkowski> perhaps we can ask for a tutorial on it ? Jan 11 21:23:41 <czajkowski> to be given to ubuntu0ie folks ?? Jan 11 21:24:39 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, cool Jan 11 21:25:15 <Mean-Machine> we'd also need a wiki maintainer or maintainers Jan 11 21:25:40 <Mean-Machine> just check it once a week for changes, correct mistakes etc. Jan 11 21:25:49 <czajkowski> I'll give that a go Jan 11 21:26:04 * daxroc it's mouse season Jan 11 21:26:38 * daxroc just seen a mouse run bye :O Jan 11 21:26:49 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, cool. I'm also on it Jan 11 21:28:09 <ebel> I'm willing to try some wiki cleanup duties Jan 11 21:28:58 <Mean-Machine> currently I'm also admin for ubuntu-ie mailing list, I'm willing to continue this unless anybody else would like to take over Jan 11 21:29:26 <daxroc> Mean-Machine: Is it active ? Jan 11 21:29:48 <czajkowski> daxroc: aye tis Jan 11 21:29:59 <Mean-Machine> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ie not much traffic tho Jan 11 21:31:36 <Mean-Machine> coming back to daxroc's idea... marketing campaign Jan 11 21:32:34 <Mean-Machine> having someone to write something to the papers, websites about next ubuntu release would already be something Jan 11 21:34:07 <daxroc> Or a lan party for some ubuntu-ie.org cash for things like marketing ? Jan 11 21:36:06 <Mean-Machine> daxroc, we'll try to discuss the marketing ideas on the mailing list. make sure you subscribed ;-] Jan 11 21:36:12 <ebel> yeah Jan 11 21:36:17 <daxroc> A lan party for every Major release / Once a year Jan 11 21:36:30 <Mean-Machine> daxroc, that would be cool Jan 11 21:36:50 <Mean-Machine> anything else regarding team structure? Jan 11 21:37:25 <czajkowski> daxroc: aye that would be interesting alright, next one is April, lot of time for you to work on it :) Jan 11 21:37:47 <daxroc> ahem me ahem: community :P Jan 11 21:38:20 <Mean-Machine> 2nd and last on today's agenda is: Ubuntu Global Bug Jam - 20 to 22 February Jan 11 21:38:27 <ebel> bug jam! Jan 11 21:38:33 <Mean-Machine> indeed Jan 11 21:39:02 * daxroc might try squash some bluez bugz Jan 11 21:39:18 <Mean-Machine> we have at least 2 ppl who are familiar with bug reporting/triaging/fixing Jan 11 21:39:27 <czajkowski> ebel: so dont forget you need to email me details on this so I can find you a venue :) Jan 11 21:39:38 <ebel> czajkowski:Yes I remember! Jan 11 21:40:04 <ebel> In case anyone doesn't know, a bug jam is a weekend long event where people get together to work on the ubuntu bugs Jan 11 21:40:05 <Mean-Machine> so a quick crash course / presentation for new to bugs won't be a problem Jan 11 21:40:34 <Mean-Machine> and you can read more at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GlobalBugJam Jan 11 21:40:41 <ebel> focussing more on cleaning up bugs and adding comments, and the like, as opposed to actually writing code to fix the bugs. Jan 11 21:40:54 <ebel> So it's very easy to do. :) Jan 11 21:41:26 <ebel> we need a venue! Jan 11 21:41:39 <czajkowski> ok Jan 11 21:41:39 <Mean-Machine> correct Jan 11 21:41:49 <Mean-Machine> a venue with wi-fi Jan 11 21:41:56 <ebel> Yes, internet access is a must. Jan 11 21:41:59 <czajkowski> ebel: and I am right in saying preferably with internet? Jan 11 21:41:59 <czajkowski> cool cool, Jan 11 21:42:01 <czajkowski> and for how many? oughly ? Jan 11 21:42:05 <czajkowski> *roughly Jan 11 21:42:26 <ebel> Depends how many show up. I'd guess about a dozen? Jan 11 21:42:37 <ebel> maybe up to 20? Jan 11 21:42:44 <Mean-Machine> I don't thinl there'll be more than 10 - 15, but I really hope I'm wrong! :P Jan 11 21:43:32 <Mean-Machine> it's very soon, and we have to advertise it as soon as we get a venue confirmed Jan 11 21:44:33 <czajkowski> aye Jan 11 21:44:40 <czajkowski> well we can advertise it before we have a venue Jan 11 21:44:43 <czajkowski> which would be better Jan 11 21:44:46 <czajkowski> as weekends fill up Jan 11 21:44:54 <czajkowski> and either way we will have a venue no matter what Jan 11 21:45:10 <ebel> true Jan 11 21:45:35 <Mean-Machine> ok... Jan 11 21:46:00 <Mean-Machine> in the worst case scenario we'll book a table at the market bar :P Jan 11 21:46:02 <ebel> possible venues could be (a) a pub (b) a room in a dublin college. Jan 11 21:46:35 <Mean-Machine> I think college would be the best as you could advertise it there as well and get new people ;-] Jan 11 21:46:43 <ebel> Yep. Jan 11 21:46:47 <czajkowski> pub would be more difficult due to wifi, but a possibility would be to get wifi sponsored Jan 11 21:47:11 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, market bar has free wi-fi Jan 11 21:48:16 <Mean-Machine> ok, so what are our actions, and who's doing what? Jan 11 21:48:46 <czajkowski> I'll look into venue Jan 11 21:48:58 <czajkowski> and start to update the wiki Jan 11 21:49:11 <Mean-Machine> I will start designing a poster for the bug jam Jan 11 21:49:45 <Mean-Machine> and will also send info to mailing lists, ubuntu-ie, ilug and ifso Jan 11 21:50:45 <Mean-Machine> ebel, are you up for doing the bug jam crash course on the day? Jan 11 21:50:58 <Mean-Machine> a quick presentation? Jan 11 21:51:04 <ebel> Mean-Machine: Yeah. Jan 11 21:51:13 <Mean-Machine> cool Jan 11 21:51:48 <ebel> I'll try to follow up with UCD netsoc people about getting a room in UCD.. Jan 11 21:51:59 <ebel> even though it is far out. Jan 11 21:52:37 <Mean-Machine> cool Jan 11 21:53:07 <Mean-Machine> I kinda hoped tdr112 would be present at this meeting Jan 11 21:53:41 <Mean-Machine> do we have any other business to discuss? Jan 11 21:54:10 <ebel> don't think so... Jan 11 21:54:32 <czajkowski> yup Jan 11 21:54:32 <Mean-Machine> who would like to fill the wiki after the meeting? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2009-01-11 I will send the summary based on that to the mailing list tomorro morning then Jan 11 21:54:36 <czajkowski> AOB Jan 11 21:54:47 <ebel> Mean-Machine: I'll do it Jan 11 21:54:48 <czajkowski> Regarding our home and the fact that it's kinda up in the air Jan 11 21:55:00 <czajkowski> should we A) look into finding an alternative Jan 11 21:55:02 <Mean-Machine> ebel, thanks Jan 11 21:55:14 <czajkowski> B) stay where we are and try and see if it can be more certain Jan 11 21:55:16 <czajkowski> or Jan 11 21:55:21 <czajkowski> C) bother as do we need it ? Jan 11 21:55:47 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, yes. we don't really know what's going on at the moment Jan 11 21:56:13 <ebel> yeah, no idea. Jan 11 21:56:15 <Mean-Machine> and to be honest, not many people have ever droped in, right? Jan 11 21:56:40 <ebel> What I do like is the 'halp my laptop is broken' stuff. Jan 11 21:56:55 <ebel> i.e. I think it's good that there's somewhere that people can go with that. Jan 11 21:56:58 <czajkowski> aye Jan 11 21:57:00 <czajkowski> true Jan 11 21:57:04 <czajkowski> ebel, but like yesterday Jan 11 21:57:05 <Mean-Machine> maybe we should also ask that question on the mailing list and let people decide if they want a drop in centre Jan 11 21:57:08 <ebel> But a lot of the time, potds are good like that. Jan 11 21:57:09 <czajkowski> bit hard when we cant even get on the net? Jan 11 21:57:13 <czajkowski> so is it really worth it? Jan 11 21:57:37 <ebel> yeah no-online is kinda poitnless Jan 11 21:57:54 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, you've got a point there Jan 11 21:58:12 <daxroc> In dublin ye could try introduce mesh networking ? Jan 11 21:58:29 <czajkowski> see Jan 11 21:58:33 <czajkowski> I do know it's a great idea Jan 11 21:58:37 <czajkowski> and we have had people drop in Jan 11 21:58:41 <czajkowski> and when they do it's great Jan 11 21:58:50 <czajkowski> it's also a way for us to meet more often face to face Jan 11 21:58:52 <czajkowski> which is good Jan 11 21:59:01 <Mean-Machine> agree Jan 11 21:59:19 <czajkowski> so while I do agree it's great, unless we can get more of a confirmation with camara and stay there, or do we look else where is the question Jan 11 21:59:28 <czajkowski> as I think more and more people would use it Jan 11 22:00:07 <Mean-Machine> my dream would be something like the c-base in berlin... but that's a DREAM! ;-] Jan 11 22:00:38 <ebel> c-base? Jan 11 22:00:45 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, we have to as camara what's the story first and then move from there Jan 11 22:00:54 <czajkowski> aye ok Jan 11 22:00:56 <ebel> yeah. Jan 11 22:01:12 <Mean-Machine> ebel, http://c-base.org/ Jan 11 22:01:14 <czajkowski> so Mean-Machine maybe you could assertain that from Eoghan and report back via the mailing list? Jan 11 22:01:52 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, yes, I will Jan 11 22:02:28 <czajkowski> cool Jan 11 22:03:43 <Mean-Machine> ebel, that's a better link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base Jan 11 22:03:59 <Mean-Machine> ok so... anything else to discuss? Jan 11 22:04:50 <Mean-Machine> THE MEETING IS NOW OVER |

Jan 11 21:24:39 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, cool Jan 11 21:25:15 <Mean-Machine> we'd also need a wiki maintainer or maintainers Jan 11 21:25:40 <Mean-Machine> just check it once a week for changes, correct mistakes etc. Jan 11 21:25:49 <czajkowski> I'll give that a go Jan 11 21:26:04 * daxroc it's mouse season Jan 11 21:26:38 * daxroc just seen a mouse run bye :O Jan 11 21:26:49 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, cool. I'm also on it Jan 11 21:28:09 <ebel> I'm willing to try some wiki cleanup duties Jan 11 21:28:58 <Mean-Machine> currently I'm also admin for ubuntu-ie mailing list, I'm willing to continue this unless anybody else would like to take over Jan 11 21:29:26 <daxroc> Mean-Machine: Is it active ? Jan 11 21:29:48 <czajkowski> daxroc: aye tis Jan 11 21:29:59 <Mean-Machine> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ie not much traffic tho Jan 11 21:31:36 <Mean-Machine> coming back to daxroc's idea... marketing campaign Jan 11 21:32:34 <Mean-Machine> having someone to write something to the papers, websites about next ubuntu release would already be something Jan 11 21:34:07 <daxroc> Or a lan party for some ubuntu-ie.org cash for things like marketing ? Jan 11 21:36:06 <Mean-Machine> daxroc, we'll try to discuss the marketing ideas on the mailing list. make sure you subscribed ;-] Jan 11 21:36:12 <ebel> yeah Jan 11 21:36:17 <daxroc> A lan party for every Major release / Once a year Jan 11 21:36:30 <Mean-Machine> daxroc, that would be cool Jan 11 21:36:50 <Mean-Machine> anything else regarding team structure? Jan 11 21:37:25 <czajkowski> daxroc: aye that would be interesting alright, next one is April, lot of time for you to work on it :) Jan 11 21:37:47 <daxroc> ahem me ahem: community :P Jan 11 21:38:20 <Mean-Machine> 2nd and last on today's agenda is: Ubuntu Global Bug Jam - 20 to 22 February Jan 11 21:38:27 <ebel> bug jam! Jan 11 21:38:33 <Mean-Machine> indeed Jan 11 21:39:02 * daxroc might try squash some bluez bugz Jan 11 21:39:18 <Mean-Machine> we have at least 2 ppl who are familiar with bug reporting/triaging/fixing Jan 11 21:39:27 <czajkowski> ebel: so dont forget you need to email me details on this so I can find you a venue :) Jan 11 21:39:38 <ebel> czajkowski:Yes I remember! Jan 11 21:40:04 <ebel> In case anyone doesn't know, a bug jam is a weekend long event where people get together to work on the ubuntu bugs Jan 11 21:40:05 <Mean-Machine> so a quick crash course / presentation for new to bugs won't be a problem Jan 11 21:40:34 <Mean-Machine> and you can read more at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GlobalBugJam Jan 11 21:40:41 <ebel> focussing more on cleaning up bugs and adding comments, and the like, as opposed to actually writing code to fix the bugs. Jan 11 21:40:54 <ebel> So it's very easy to do. :) Jan 11 21:41:26 <ebel> we need a venue! Jan 11 21:41:39 <czajkowski> ok Jan 11 21:41:39 <Mean-Machine> correct Jan 11 21:41:49 <Mean-Machine> a venue with wi-fi Jan 11 21:41:56 <ebel> Yes, internet access is a must. Jan 11 21:41:59 <czajkowski> ebel: and I am right in saying preferably with internet? Jan 11 21:41:59 <czajkowski> cool cool, Jan 11 21:42:01 <czajkowski> and for how many? oughly ? Jan 11 21:42:05 <czajkowski> *roughly Jan 11 21:42:26 <ebel> Depends how many show up. I'd guess about a dozen? Jan 11 21:42:37 <ebel> maybe up to 20? Jan 11 21:42:44 <Mean-Machine> I don't thinl there'll be more than 10 - 15, but I really hope I'm wrong! :P Jan 11 21:43:32 <Mean-Machine> it's very soon, and we have to advertise it as soon as we get a venue confirmed Jan 11 21:44:33 <czajkowski> aye Jan 11 21:44:40 <czajkowski> well we can advertise it before we have a venue Jan 11 21:44:43 <czajkowski> which would be better Jan 11 21:44:46 <czajkowski> as weekends fill up Jan 11 21:44:54 <czajkowski> and either way we will have a venue no matter what Jan 11 21:45:10 <ebel> true Jan 11 21:45:35 <Mean-Machine> ok... Jan 11 21:46:00 <Mean-Machine> in the worst case scenario we'll book a table at the market bar :P Jan 11 21:46:02 <ebel> possible venues could be (a) a pub (b) a room in a dublin college. Jan 11 21:46:35 <Mean-Machine> I think college would be the best as you could advertise it there as well and get new people ;-] Jan 11 21:46:43 <ebel> Yep. Jan 11 21:46:47 <czajkowski> pub would be more difficult due to wifi, but a possibility would be to get wifi sponsored Jan 11 21:47:11 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, market bar has free wi-fi Jan 11 21:48:16 <Mean-Machine> ok, so what are our actions, and who's doing what? Jan 11 21:48:46 <czajkowski> I'll look into venue Jan 11 21:48:58 <czajkowski> and start to update the wiki Jan 11 21:49:11 <Mean-Machine> I will start designing a poster for the bug jam Jan 11 21:49:45 <Mean-Machine> and will also send info to mailing lists, ubuntu-ie, ilug and ifso Jan 11 21:50:45 <Mean-Machine> ebel, are you up for doing the bug jam crash course on the day? Jan 11 21:50:58 <Mean-Machine> a quick presentation? Jan 11 21:51:04 <ebel> Mean-Machine: Yeah. Jan 11 21:51:13 <Mean-Machine> cool Jan 11 21:51:48 <ebel> I'll try to follow up with UCD netsoc people about getting a room in UCD.. Jan 11 21:51:59 <ebel> even though it is far out. Jan 11 21:52:37 <Mean-Machine> cool Jan 11 21:53:07 <Mean-Machine> I kinda hoped tdr112 would be present at this meeting Jan 11 21:53:41 <Mean-Machine> do we have any other business to discuss? Jan 11 21:54:10 <ebel> don't think so... Jan 11 21:54:32 <czajkowski> yup Jan 11 21:54:32 <Mean-Machine> who would like to fill the wiki after the meeting? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2009-01-11 I will send the summary based on that to the mailing list tomorro morning then Jan 11 21:54:36 <czajkowski> AOB Jan 11 21:54:47 <ebel> Mean-Machine: I'll do it Jan 11 21:54:48 <czajkowski> Regarding our home and the fact that it's kinda up in the air Jan 11 21:55:00 <czajkowski> should we A) look into finding an alternative Jan 11 21:55:02 <Mean-Machine> ebel, thanks Jan 11 21:55:14 <czajkowski> B) stay where we are and try and see if it can be more certain Jan 11 21:55:16 <czajkowski> or Jan 11 21:55:21 <czajkowski> C) bother as do we need it ? Jan 11 21:55:47 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, yes. we don't really know what's going on at the moment Jan 11 21:56:13 <ebel> yeah, no idea. Jan 11 21:56:15 <Mean-Machine> and to be honest, not many people have ever droped in, right? Jan 11 21:56:40 <ebel> What I do like is the 'halp my laptop is broken' stuff. Jan 11 21:56:55 <ebel> i.e. I think it's good that there's somewhere that people can go with that. Jan 11 21:56:58 <czajkowski> aye Jan 11 21:57:00 <czajkowski> true Jan 11 21:57:04 <czajkowski> ebel, but like yesterday Jan 11 21:57:05 <Mean-Machine> maybe we should also ask that question on the mailing list and let people decide if they want a drop in centre Jan 11 21:57:08 <ebel> But a lot of the time, potds are good like that. Jan 11 21:57:09 <czajkowski> bit hard when we cant even get on the net? Jan 11 21:57:13 <czajkowski> so is it really worth it? Jan 11 21:57:37 <ebel> yeah no-online is kinda poitnless Jan 11 21:57:54 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, you've got a point there Jan 11 21:58:12 <daxroc> In dublin ye could try introduce mesh networking ? Jan 11 21:58:29 <czajkowski> see Jan 11 21:58:33 <czajkowski> I do know it's a great idea Jan 11 21:58:37 <czajkowski> and we have had people drop in Jan 11 21:58:41 <czajkowski> and when they do it's great Jan 11 21:58:50 <czajkowski> it's also a way for us to meet more often face to face Jan 11 21:58:52 <czajkowski> which is good Jan 11 21:59:01 <Mean-Machine> agree Jan 11 21:59:19 <czajkowski> so while I do agree it's great, unless we can get more of a confirmation with camara and stay there, or do we look else where is the question Jan 11 21:59:28 <czajkowski> as I think more and more people would use it Jan 11 22:00:07 <Mean-Machine> my dream would be something like the c-base in berlin... but that's a DREAM! ;-] Jan 11 22:00:38 <ebel> c-base? Jan 11 22:00:45 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, we have to as camara what's the story first and then move from there Jan 11 22:00:54 <czajkowski> aye ok Jan 11 22:00:56 <ebel> yeah. Jan 11 22:01:12 <Mean-Machine> ebel, http://c-base.org/ Jan 11 22:01:14 <czajkowski> so Mean-Machine maybe you could assertain that from Eoghan and report back via the mailing list? Jan 11 22:01:52 <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, yes, I will Jan 11 22:02:28 <czajkowski> cool Jan 11 22:03:43 <Mean-Machine> ebel, that's a better link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base Jan 11 22:03:59 <Mean-Machine> ok so... anything else to discuss? Jan 11 22:04:50 <Mean-Machine> THE MEETING IS NOW OVER
