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