The first topic is [15:13:35] <airurando> [TOPIC] Review of previous action items [15:14:17] <airurando> There were a few actions handed out during the February IRC meeting. [15:14:43] <airurando> first [15:14:46] <airurando> ebel will chance up with canonical/ubuntu loco with how/if to change address [15:15:11] <airurando> I know ebel has looked into this. [15:15:22] <airurando> Not sure if he has completed the process [15:15:42] <airurando> second action [15:15:45] <airurando> ebel will give airurando the list of 10.10 recieptients, airurando will email them to solicit feedback [15:15:55] <airurando> this one is completed [15:16:07] <czajkowski> cool [15:16:12] <airurando> We are awaiting feedback. [15:16:37] <airurando> Went to many comp socs and hackerspaces [15:17:01] <airurando> will report back on this again next month [15:17:02] <imgarysmith> 11.04 is a bad time for comp socs [15:17:40] <airurando> imgarysmith: that was one of the points raised in the e-mail [15:18:31] <czajkowski> tis the end of April [15:19:00] <airurando> [ACTION] airurando will report back next month on any feedback received from the natty distribution e-mail [15:19:02] <imgarysmith> airurando, as i said earlier i havent had a chance to read over the email, sorry for repeating the content [15:19:29] <airurando> imgarysmith no bother at all. [15:20:09] <airurando> czajkowski: the concern was receiving CDs mid May might not be the best time for Colleges. [15:20:19] <czajkowski> nods [15:20:36] <czajkowski> well end of april in theory they should be out the first week in may [15:22:13] <airurando> Yeah indeed, but we are looking for the views of the comp socs. Totally up to them. [15:22:41] <airurando> next action to be reviewed [15:22:44] <czajkowski> nods [15:23:04] <airurando> airurando will take the CDs [15:23:14] <airurando> no further comment necessary [15:23:40] <airurando> next one [15:23:44] <airurando> look for venues for jam [15:24:07] <airurando> need others here to report on progress. [15:24:27] <airurando> possibility exists for a Dub and Limerick Jam [15:25:15] <airurando> infoturtle is leading the charge in Limerick and tdr112 has submitted a request to TOG for use of their space [15:25:34] <airurando> hopefully things will become clear soon [15:25:58] <czajkowski> great stuff [15:26:11] <airurando> I'll generate the events as soon as they are confirmed (fingers crossed) [15:27:19] <airurando> [ACTION] airurando to create UGJ events for the Irish LoCo when they are confirmed. [15:28:08] <airurando> now on to the main agenda items. [15:28:34] <airurando> [TOPIC] Ubuntu Global Jam [15:28:52] <airurando> same again here. [15:29:10] <airurando> waiting for venue and event confirmation. [15:29:27] <airurando> will move on. [15:29:49] <airurando> [TOPIC] 11.04 Release Party? [15:30:00] <czajkowski> oh where are ye off to this year [15:30:08] <czajkowski> nothing natty related in bars is there [15:30:14] <czajkowski> or a trip to the zoo :) [15:30:18] <airurando> I just wanted to start the discussion on this [15:30:32] <moylan> corkscrew looks like a narwhal horn? :-) [15:30:48] <airurando> czajkowski you are spot on. [15:31:05] <airurando> I was thinking something nautical [15:31:35] <airurando> moylan, have you somewhere in mind? [15:31:46] <czajkowski> have a picni [15:31:58] <moylan> geeknic? [15:32:03] <czajkowski> or there is the cafe which is meerkat cafe but still a chance for family and a bit of fun [15:32:09] <czajkowski> aye could make it a geeknic [15:32:31] <moylan> that is weather dependent but if chosen carefully we could find a park with shelter if there is rain. [15:32:35] <airurando> must pop away for just a minute [15:32:38] <airurando> back soon [15:32:59] <czajkowski> is that a bank holiday weekend ? [15:33:10] <moylan> geeknics are fun. nerds in not their natural habitat. away from wifi and power sources. [15:33:21] <czajkowski> aye [15:33:29] <czajkowski> but also means more people may be inclined to come [15:33:34] <czajkowski> also to note, if the weekend doesnt suit [15:33:40] <czajkowski> you're not limited to that weekend...... [15:35:16] <moylan> apr 30, may 1st followed by bank holiday. [15:36:01] <airurando> aye geeknic is an idea [15:36:30] <airurando> we had planned geeknics for June and Aug this year [15:36:32] <czajkowski> not a great weekend if people are having a holiday or want to head away [15:36:57] <airurando> I think it is the easter break for achools also [15:37:05] <airurando> *schools [15:37:07] <czajkowski> nods [15:37:08] <czajkowski> yup [15:37:30] <czajkowski> well it be nice to know if ye put it out a weekend more people would turn up [15:37:40] <czajkowski> not sure it makes a massive difference [15:37:56] <airurando> need some Dublinites to help out on this one [15:37:58] <moylan> but if you use a week night you can get people who are already in the city. [15:38:37] * airurando likes the idea of the zoo [15:38:39] <moylan> about how many people turned out for the last launch parties. it might help as a frame of reference. [15:38:57] <czajkowski> moylan: see the pics we've gone for dinner/drinks combo [15:38:59] <czajkowski> woeked out well [15:39:09] <czajkowski> we;ve gotten 14-24 people it depends really [15:40:08] <airurando> yeah Saturday worked out well last time [15:40:41] <airurando> not enough folks here to decide anything tonight I fear. [15:41:01] <airurando> I'll e-mail the list looking for input [15:41:05] <moylan> would more people come to an event on sunday. for many saturday is a day to get things done while shops are open. [15:41:34] <moylan> or sport events [15:42:29] <czajkowski> lack of feedback on the ML is annoying at times [15:42:32] <czajkowski> :( [15:42:38] <airurando> yeah [15:42:45] <airurando> but must keep trying [15:42:49] <czajkowski> aye [15:42:57] <imgarysmith> to be honest i think the ML is a bad way of doing it [15:43:02] <czajkowski> wonder would a joint mail to python and ILUG saying we're doing an event [15:43:05] <czajkowski> want to come along ? [15:43:12] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: how do we contact the loco people so ? [15:43:28] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: the Ubutu ie loco has a ML and many dont use irc [15:44:12] <imgarysmith> a blog i think would be better, i know people have to go to the blog but feedback would be visually easier [15:44:36] <airurando> imgarysmith: could you do a section on the release party during the next podcast? [15:44:42] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: ok a blog is good, but how do you get them to read the blog post? [15:44:47] <czajkowski> we do blog and put to the ML also [15:45:01] <airurando> doesn't the website incorporate a blog? [15:45:21] <czajkowski> yup [15:45:32] <imgarysmith> airurando, ye sure, im not sure what is happening with the podcast this month since quinne (infoturtle) has no internet connection [15:46:00] <airurando> if duplicating an e-mail on a blog to facilitate feedback is considered a good idea I'm all for it. [15:46:17] <imgarysmith> laura, i just feel reading replies in the ML is difficult. reading blog comments would be much easier [15:46:19] <czajkowski> nods [15:46:31] <airurando> czajkowski what do you think? [15:46:46] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: it's 50/50 tbh but the more places to get feedback the better [15:47:15] <airurando> imgarysmith: I'd love that problem. Unfirtunately we don't get much feedback on the mailing list [15:47:42] <imgarysmith> true but i think we might get more feedback in blog posts [15:47:45] <czajkowski> so lets blog and ML and explain we do need feedback [15:47:59] <imgarysmith> ye sounds good [15:48:14] <airurando> might try this for the release party posting on the Ubuntu-ie.org blog [15:48:27] <airurando> great stuff [15:49:41] <imgarysmith> airurando, ill mention it in the podcast for people to go to the blog, and explain its a test to see if we want to replace the ML or use both side by side [15:49:56] <czajkowski> #i'd never say replace the ML [15:50:01] <czajkowski> another tool perhaps [15:50:03] <airurando> [ACTION] airurando to mail list re release party. blogs to be used to ask for feedback. [15:50:40] <imgarysmith> not fully replace it, use it for info only, no feedback on it [15:51:21] <czajkowski> airurando: next up ? [15:51:30] <airurando> aye.
