[14:04:41] <tdr112> hello all [14:04:47] * ebel declares the December 2009 Ubuntu Irish Team meeting started [14:04:49] <ebel> hey tdr112 [14:05:51] <czajkowski> :) [14:06:39] <czajkowski> so who's here for the meeting [14:06:40] <lau1> good evening [14:06:49] <Mean-Machine> PRESENT [14:06:54] <czajkowski> PRESENT [14:06:57] <airurando> PRESENT [14:07:01] <slashtom> PRESENT [14:07:02] <ebel> PRESENT [14:07:03] <lau1> PRESENT [14:07:20] <tdr112> PRESENT [14:07:39] <cancelerx> PRESENT [14:07:44] <Mean-Machine> fagan [n=fagan@ubuntu/member/shanefagan] has quit ["call of duty time"] [14:08:03] <Mean-Machine> for the record :P [14:08:05] <ebel> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2009-12-16 [14:08:21] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: lovely... [14:08:23] <ebel> that's the agenda for it [14:08:41] <czajkowski> right I got a bit carried away with adding stuff [14:08:47] <czajkowski> but it's the last one for the year [14:09:00] <czajkowski> Wiki Events [14:09:13] <tdr112> what is wiki events [14:09:21] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/Events#Events [14:09:34] <czajkowski> this page needs to be kept up to date better [14:09:46] <ebel> [topic] Wiki - Events [14:09:47] <czajkowski> It needs to list all of our meet ups and potds [14:09:54] <czajkowski> eb thanks [14:09:57] <czajkowski> ebel: thanks [14:10:19] <czajkowski> so I'll take the task of going back through our events and adding them here [14:10:35] <czajkowski> the reason for this is in 18 months time Ubuntu-ie will be reviewed for our LoCo membership [14:10:46] <czajkowski> and rather then doing all of this then it makes it easier to do it as we go along [14:10:58] <czajkowski> and with the added plugin to the LoCo directory all events will be listed there [14:11:03] <czajkowski> any thoughts/ideas ? [14:11:29] <ebel> good idea [14:11:50] <Mean-Machine> is the page layout ok or does it need to be changed for loco directory integration? [14:11:50] <czajkowski> is there someone present who could take on the role next year of updating this page [14:11:51] <ebel> better to do it as you go along [14:12:09] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: no idea we're working on the functionality at present [14:12:22] <czajkowski> but it'll be a case of entering it date of event and stuff on the LD [14:12:24] <tdr112> good idea , it's a lot of work to update , but should be easy to do as you go along [14:12:29] <czajkowski> LD btw is the LoCo Directory [14:12:42] <czajkowski> so I'd like to ask some of the newer people in here to help out [14:12:51] <czajkowski> and we'll help but I'd like to share around the workd a bit [14:13:14] <airurando> I'd like to help [14:13:20] <czajkowski> airurando: lovely [14:13:26] <Mean-Machine> +1 airurando [14:13:29] <Mean-Machine> :-] [14:13:39] <czajkowski> airurando: basically any time an event is been advertised it needs to go on that page [14:13:46] <czajkowski> under upcoming [14:13:54] <czajkowski> then moved to happeened [14:13:56] <czajkowski> we'll help [14:14:02] <czajkowski> but nice to have some fresh blood [14:14:03] <czajkowski> :) [14:14:12] <Mean-Machine> vampires ;-] [14:14:13] <airurando> sounds fine [14:14:30] <ebel> cool [14:14:52] <tdr112> good stuff [14:14:54] <airurando> will these events always come via mailing list? [14:15:00] <ebel> we basically have a whole of next year (give or take) before we have to re-apply [14:15:13] <ebel> airurando: yeah just about everything is on the mailing list [14:15:20] <czajkowski> airurando: yup [14:15:22] <czajkowski> ebel: we do aye [14:15:27] <ebel> actually we should start using the web forum on ubuntu forums more. [14:15:30] <czajkowski> so it'd be nice to not do 18 months events [14:15:31] <czajkowski> :) [14:15:33] <czajkowski> ok [14:15:40] <czajkowski> so airurando to work on the evetns page [14:15:41] <czajkowski> :D [14:15:42] <czajkowski> lovely [14:15:48] <Leftmost> Should I hop on the mailing list, even though I'm not strictly local to the LoCo? [14:15:51] <tdr112> czajkowski: would you help airurando make a start on it [14:15:56] <czajkowski> Leftmost: yes please [14:16:01] <czajkowski> tdr112: I will of course [14:16:08] <ebel> Leftmost: everyone's welcome to join the mailing list / irc channel [14:16:09] <czajkowski> ebel: can you action that please [14:16:14] <ebel> you don't have to be living in ireland [14:16:27] <ebel> [agreed] airurando will update the wiki events page as events happen [14:16:38] <czajkowski> and laura will help [14:16:46] <Leftmost> I still have credit on my mobile. We'll say that's enough.;) [14:16:53] <ebel> Leftmost: you can join the launchpad team and anything if you want :) [14:17:05] <ebel> we don't really have strict membership requirements. [14:17:10] <czajkowski> [topic] Road Maps [14:17:12] <ebel> [agreed] airurando will update the wiki events page as events happen (and laura will help) [14:17:18] <ebel> [topic] road maps [14:17:35] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Roadmaps [14:17:40] <czajkowski> right [14:17:43] <czajkowski> to explain these [14:17:48] <ebel> (For the record since I did the startmeeting, I have to do the [topic]/[agreed]/etc.) [14:18:03] <czajkowski> we use them in Ubuntu community for the lucid cycle for all teams [14:18:12] <czajkowski> the idea is we can lay out some goals for the loco [14:18:15] <czajkowski> and see how we're doing [14:18:23] <czajkowski> I think it'd be nice to do this for us [14:18:29] <ebel> (for the record lucid is the next version of ubuntu, Lucid Lync 10.04) [14:18:44] <tdr112> what goes in a road map [14:18:58] <czajkowski> let me get an exampe for you [14:19:55] <czajkowski> [link] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/community-lucid-ngo [14:20:04] <czajkowski> so you can see here a roadmap is lined to a blueprint [14:20:09] <czajkowski> it's not as complicatead as it soounds [14:20:09] <ebel> czajkowski: what about on our membership application? [14:20:14] <ebel> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamApprovalApplication [14:20:18] <ebel> that had a road map... [14:20:23] <czajkowski> ebel: exactly [14:20:33] <ebel> but in theory that was for the next year or so. [14:21:05] <czajkowski> the blueprint is the way we can track them onlaucnhpad [14:21:12] <czajkowski> this is the template https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Roadmaps/Template [14:21:21] <czajkowski> the idea being to encourage more activity in the LoCo [14:21:29] <czajkowski> you don't need to be in dublin [14:21:39] <czajkowski> ti could be something you take on in your area [14:21:42] <czajkowski> but we add it to this [14:21:45] <czajkowski> any thoughts ? [14:22:14] <Mean-Machine> so the roadmap has to be done on LP, right? [14:22:17] <ebel> I like the idea of encouraging ourselfs, to prevent things from just slipping... [14:22:42] <ebel> and then you can look back and see if you stuck to what you did. I like that idea. [14:22:42] <czajkowski> ebel: aye so the roadmap is just a way of seeing at a glance what we're outlining to do in the cycle [14:22:47] <Mean-Machine> planning ahead and setting goals is very important [14:23:07] <czajkowski> so for example yu can https://blueprints.launchpad.net/~czajkowski are the ones I'm working on [14:23:10] <czajkowski> or keeping an eye on [14:23:54] <cancelerx> i do enjoy ur conversation .. but am kinda new to the whole community thing so please forgive my silence.. am just listening to u guys.. am still present [14:24:05] <ebel> fagan: welcome [14:24:11] <ebel> cancelerx: sure no problem :) [14:24:20] <ebel> we're open to everyone [14:24:21] <czajkowski> cancelerx: that's fine [14:24:32] <czajkowski> so I'm wondering can we work on a roadmap [14:24:36] <czajkowski> do up a basica tempalte [14:24:39] <ebel> czajkowski: well how long are you thinking for the length of a blueprint / roadmap? [14:24:42] <czajkowski> and send to the ailing list to get input [14:24:49] <czajkowski> we'll do it for lucid [14:24:53] <czajkowski> for 5-6 months so [14:24:55] <fagan> ebel: sorry for the lateness [14:24:57] <czajkowski> by the time we get it up and running [14:25:01] <ebel> "By the summer we should have done X, Y, Z" ? [14:25:33] <czajkowski> by May [14:25:33] <czajkowski> aye [14:25:34] <ebel> we're doing that a bit. like the ice skating thing, that was an attempt to do more. [14:25:38] <czajkowski> ebel: aye [14:25:45] <czajkowski> but if we add it to a roadmap [14:25:46] <Mean-Machine> I think its a good idea to keep the roadmaps alligned with the release cycle [14:25:47] <ebel> *do more non pub things [14:25:49] <czajkowski> we can see all the stuff [14:25:54] <czajkowski> rather than having to think a out it [14:26:02] <ebel> Mean-Machine: plus you get a cool name for it :) [14:26:19] <czajkowski> ok so can we have ppl to work on the basic template to jot down some ideas and mail the list ? [14:26:56] <czajkowski> I will help you [14:27:04] <czajkowski> and also write to the list to explain about the road maps [14:27:14] * Mean-Machine will come up with a few bullet points and send it to the list [14:27:30] <ebel> :) Thanks for volunteering :) [14:27:35] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: can you do that in the template and just create it to get us started [14:27:38] <czajkowski> please [14:27:48] <ebel> [agreed] Mean-Machine will come up with a few bullet points for road maps and send it to the list [14:27:55] <czajkowski> I know some folks myself included don' always like going near wikis to start off [14:28:07] * Mean-Machine loves wiki [14:28:17] <ebel> wikis are nice. wiki's don't like czajkowski though [14:28:24] <czajkowski> ebel: I'm getting much better [14:28:26] <czajkowski> anwyas [14:28:34] <tdr112> tdr is all for wiki's [14:28:41] <airurando> czajkowski: don't scare me [14:28:41] <ebel> [topic] Update as to the state of the Irish Translations and work being done [14:28:46] <czajkowski> anyone else have any other questions regarding roadmaps ? [14:28:48] * fagan doesnt have a clue how to do wikis except links [14:29:22] <czajkowski> right well #i for one am not really happy about the visabiluty of the irish translations [14:29:42] <czajkowski> this week I mailed the list as we are in need of getting the loco directory translated [14:29:49] <czajkowski> and thanks to Leftmost he helped us out [14:30:05] <fagan> thanks Leftmost [14:30:06] <czajkowski> fagan: tbh you're not really doing anything to help promte or drive this team. [14:30:18] <fagan> Ive been busy with college [14:30:21] <czajkowski> fagan: can you tell us how you are doing it so far, it may need to be tweeked [14:30:54] <czajkowski> fagan: well yo're visable elsewhere on other teams and projects, if it's a case of you're not interested then just say so, that's fine also [14:30:55] * ebel hasn't been paying attention to the irish translation [14:31:00] <ebel> fagan: how's it going? [14:31:01] <fagan> Well I set up the mailing list but havent had time to get cracking with it. [14:31:11] <czajkowski> fagan: that was last summer though [14:31:32] <fagan> czajkowski: I only got it set up a month ago [14:31:48] <fagan> I had to chase people up about it [14:31:49] <czajkowski> fagan: what was the dealy [14:31:59] <czajkowski> I've seen no mails to the mailing list to keep us informed [14:32:02] <Mean-Machine> guys, if anyone takes on a task and needs help please let others know, we're all here to help [14:32:04] <fagan> rt taking a long time [14:32:26] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: exactly [14:32:27] <ebel> well, how about translations? How many programmes are translated now? [14:32:48] <czajkowski> fagan: you should have let us the loco know is all I'm trying to get you to see [14:33:05] <czajkowski> or poked me. and I could have asked an admin to have a look at RT [14:33:06] <fagan> yep noted [14:33:10] <czajkowski> we were at UDS with all of them [14:33:28] <cancelerx> communication is of ought most importance for success [14:33:41] <czajkowski> cancelerx: yes [14:33:56] <czajkowski> fagan: can you perhaps give us an idea of your plan forward please [14:34:08] <czajkowski> if you've to plan it, perhaps let us know on the mailing list [14:34:18] <czajkowski> a roadmap here would also be excellent idea [14:34:39] <fagan> Ill mail the list when I have a good plan [14:34:59] <fagan> I need to have a talk with Leftmost about this too [14:35:01] <czajkowski> fagan: can you create a road map please also [14:35:11] <ebel> fagan: do you know about the #gailge IRC channel? [14:35:16] <fagan> he is more of an athority on this then me [14:35:18] <czajkowski> as that will lay out the goals for the team for the lucid cycle [14:35:19] <ebel> * #gaeilge on QuakeNet [14:35:28] <fagan> ebel: nope [14:36:01] <fagan> czajkowski: As always its the lack of interest that kills the goals idea [14:36:04] <ebel> fagan: http://www.google.ie/search?q=irc+gaeilge :P [14:36:08] <Leftmost> Well, to be honest, I haven't done much actual coordination. Unfortunately, this term I haven't had much chance to be involved, but over the next month or so I hope to be able to contribute to the organization of translators. [14:36:31] <czajkowski> fagan: you need to have some goals and ideas laid out before [14:36:35] <czajkowski> you mail the list looing for ideas. otherwise they don't know where to start [14:36:59] <fagan> czajkowski: the problem with goals is who is going to actually try to meet them [14:37:17] <fagan> its a case of me or Leftmost doing everything [14:37:19] <ebel> fagan: well can you come up with some ideas on what to do with the team? How to get more people? Any events? Spreading the word? Translation jam? I dunno, something [14:37:22] <Mean-Machine> regarding the roadmap... page set up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/Roadmaps/Lucid [14:37:26] <cancelerx> goals can be a contributory task [14:37:37] <cancelerx> not one man.. u not a one man army [14:37:52] <ebel> Mean-Machine: good one :) [14:37:58] <ebel> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/Roadmaps/Lucid [14:38:08] <slashtom> good work Mean-Machine [14:38:18] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: you rock! [14:38:21] <Mean-Machine> slashtom \o/ [14:39:10] <Mean-Machine> feel free to add items to the roadmap, and everytime you add something please notify the mailing list [14:39:12] <ebel> How about we come back to the Irish translations next month? See where we stand? [14:39:19] <czajkowski> ebel: great idea [14:39:27] <fagan> sure [14:39:45] <ebel> [agreed] look at irish translations next month, see where we stand [14:39:47] <ebel> [topic] [14:39:50] <cancelerx> fagan: u seem to want to take the heat off u [14:39:51] <ebel> [topic] New Year new PotD location [14:40:08] <cancelerx> fagan: good plan..lol [14:40:08] <czajkowski> right well we've been going to the longstone for some time now [14:40:10] <czajkowski> and it's nice [14:40:21] <czajkowski> but there are more choices out there [14:40:35] <czajkowski> declan mentioned the capital bar [14:40:40] <slashtom> wifi? [14:40:44] <czajkowski> that has meeting rooms, and free wiki and cheaper beer [14:41:02] <slashtom> where is capital bar? [14:41:02] <czajkowski> I'm wondering could we consider moving and trying it out [14:41:03] <tdr112> the capital is a nice choice [14:41:09] <czajkowski> skaround the corner from trinty [14:41:11] <ebel> slashtom: near trinity? [14:41:14] <Mean-Machine> QUESTION: should it still be called PotD? [14:41:16] <czajkowski> so still city center [14:41:17] <slashtom> aye [14:41:25] <czajkowski> I'd like to adopt the Ubuntu hour [14:41:31] <czajkowski> the same as many other LoCos are doing [14:41:55] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour [14:41:56] <ebel> I think the point of 'pint of the day' as opposed to 'monthly pint' was so people could do it more than once per month :) [14:41:56] <slashtom> i thought potd was ilug [14:42:23] <Mean-Machine> isnt ubuntu hour for promoting ubuntu and spreading word in random locations? [14:42:26] <ebel> I would suggest having it on a different day/time from the ilug potd [14:42:44] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: it's an hourly meet up for LoCos spread out , yes [14:42:51] <czajkowski> so ours could the ubuntu-ie Hour [14:42:58] <cancelerx> czajkowski: please if i will be excused.. i need to get to bed its 21:42 and i need to get up early and do some coding.. it was nice joining u guys and i intend to follow up subsequently.. thanks alot for letting me listen in. [14:43:01] <slashtom> a different name would be less confusing [14:43:09] <Mean-Machine> I'd go for circle of friends :D [14:43:20] <czajkowski> meet up, chat, the advantage of location change, would be a place we could have short talks [14:43:29] <slashtom> take care cancelerx [14:43:41] <cancelerx> bye [14:43:48] <czajkowski> cancelerx: thanks for joining us [14:43:50] <Mean-Machine> cancelerx: hope you'll come back again [14:43:51] <ebel> cancelerx: sure no problem, good to have you here [14:43:53] <tdr112> why not have it in the middle of the month [14:44:15] <czajkowski> tdr112: so the reason it was the 1st thrusday of the month [14:44:19] <cancelerx> ok.. bye all enjoy urselfs and merry christmas [14:44:19] <czajkowski> was we'd try middle, end and 2nd last [14:44:21] <tdr112> so there is a linux event every two weeks [14:44:21] <ebel> tdr112: well we have the irc meeting in the middle of the month... [14:44:31] <czajkowski> but that either got a very poor turn out or nonbody, due to pay days [14:45:00] <czajkowski> ho0w about 1st wednesday of the months as the irc meeting is 2/3rd [14:45:08] <czajkowski> that way we've 2 Ubuntu events a month [14:45:10] <ebel> for the next 4 months, we could try different weeks? :) [14:45:25] <slashtom> that's confusing [14:45:32] <slashtom> if you mean a different week each month [14:45:44] <ebel> slashtom: yeah... [14:46:13] <czajkowski> oh that may be confusing [14:46:14] <czajkowski> but [14:46:30] <czajkowski> we could do a doodle poll for the 2,nd and 3rd months and settle on one fo rthe 4th [14:46:39] <slashtom> that's democracy! [14:46:43] <czajkowski> so for January [14:46:48] <ebel> yeah a poll [14:46:50] <czajkowski> 1st Wednesday of the month [14:46:57] <czajkowski> then a poll for the next 2 months to decide [14:47:10] <ebel> yeah [14:47:12] <czajkowski> and the 4th to go with the favourite or to be re addressed at the 3rd [14:47:15] <ebel> who wants to do it?
