[14:11:05] April was a quiet meeting [14:11:05] The action was "infoturtle to set up events on the wiki and LoCo Dir for the Natty Narwhal Release Party" [14:11:05] These events were created and on the website also :) [14:11:05] The release party was a lot of fun. Great chat. Low turn out though. [14:11:07] As a general idea, unless there are compelling reasons I don't think we should hold release parties on weekdays in the future. [14:11:10] Thoughts anyone? [14:11:56] fri/sat night are more appealing [14:12:02] agree. however the notice for the event was a little confusing. it said the trinity hotel in big letter at 8 and jimmy chungs buried in the text of the notice. [14:12:23] it was wort a try for the weekday though. [14:12:29] *worth [14:12:41] yep [14:12:59] live and learn [14:13:11] my fault I beleive, sorry about that [14:13:42] ah well [14:13:48] next section [14:13:53] [TOPIC] June Geeknic [14:13:53] We agreed to have a geeknic both in June and August of thies year duriung our February meeting. [14:13:53] In part, this was an attempt to get away from the cold, wet May and September geeknics of recent years. [14:13:53] I sent an e-mail to the mailing list about this at the end of April to get the ball rolloing. [14:13:53] The idea of a 11 Jun 11 geeknic in Limerick in conjunction with the 3DCamp takling place at UL on that day has gained a lot of support. [14:13:54] Does anyone know if the 3DCamp guys are OK with this? [14:13:56] I proposed Limerick as the location for this geeknic on the mailing list and I received no negative feedback. [14:13:59] Can we agree on UL Limerick as the venue for a Geeknic on 11 jun 11? [14:14:01] Infoturtle, tdr112 can you guys liaise with UL to make sure all is OK for this? [14:14:14] we have a meeting about it next week at the UH [14:14:51] it's going to leave things short but people aggreed on the date to be the 26th to talk about it [14:15:24] cool [14:15:40] so for now nothing else can be said on the matter [14:15:43] cool [14:15:49] well keep us infomed :) [14:15:53] will do! [14:15:54] thanks [14:15:55] hello [14:16:48] 'lo [14:16:51] they fine with it [14:17:08] cool [14:17:15] but i think who ever is taking point on this should talk to them and keep them uyp to date [14:17:35] and hammer out the details with them [14:17:50] infoturtle: that would be you, right? [14:18:01] like I said there's next weeks meeting and then I can let everone know when I come home from it [14:18:08] ah yes [14:18:12] :D [14:18:23] sorry if that sounded narky, didn't intend that [14:18:40] * ebel is on a phone call aswell so not paying 100% attention! :P [14:18:54] another one from airurando [TOPIC] Ubuntu Hours, Yes/No, if Yes then How? [14:18:56] * infoturtle playing poker tournament [14:19:02] [TOPIC] Ubuntu Hours, Yes/No, if Yes then How? [14:19:12] I suppose there are 2 UHs is Ireland and they should be dealth with seperately. [14:19:12] There has been a lot of discussion concerning the usefulness and continuation of UH Dublin over recent months. [14:19:12] Some hold the view that it is a similar event that clashes with the broader Linux PoTD event. [14:19:12] I don't agree fully with this, My understanding of UH it that should provide an open environment where anyone can come and chat/learn about Ubuntu. [14:19:12] I see PoTD as an opportunity for Geeks to Geek out. [14:19:16] However, I do acknowledge that, on the surface, holding UH Dublin on an evening in a pub is similar enough to PoTD to cause concern. [14:19:19] To me, the more worrying concern about UH Dublin is that attendance has been poor and dropping off. [14:19:21] Rarely have we seen new faces at the event over the last 6 months. [14:19:23] I am not sure why this is. [14:19:25] bad promotion? [14:19:27] lack of public interest? [14:19:29] UH is not interesting enough? [14:19:31] wrong time and place? [14:19:33] loads of possibilities and probabilities. [14:19:35] During one of the many discussions about UH Dublin slashtom suggested we change from a pub to a coffee shop. [14:19:38] slashtom also suggested we change to a weekend morning/afternoon. [14:19:40] moylan suggested that perhaps monthly is too frequently for us. [14:19:42] If memory serves moylan thought sometime on a Sunday would be best. [14:19:46] maybe we should hold it every 2 months or quarterly? [14:19:48] What do folks think? [14:19:50] Drop it or change format? [14:19:52] I like what slashtom and moylan had to say on this. [14:19:54] I suggest Saturday morning/early afternoon (11ish) in a big city centre coffee shop every second or third month. [14:19:57] Is there anyone here to discuss UH Limerick? [14:19:59] Limerick one is a separate discussion I reckon. [14:20:01] (all this is from airurando, not me :P ) [14:20:12] airuando and i were talking about holding it more in a location were you can bring a laptop and try/show the os. [14:20:27] i like the idea of a saturday thing [14:20:36] let's try something new! lunchtime ubuntu hour! [14:20:48] oooooooooo [14:20:49] just need to find a quiet central location to do it. [14:20:52] that sound fun! [14:20:58] i agree with a satuday at lunch time, or even 3pm say [14:21:03] some café? [14:21:58] hi everyone, sorry I'm late [14:22:08] not to worry [14:22:09] all well? [14:22:09] hi airurando, no apology needed! [14:22:14] i would like to drop it every month , i think we will leave it up to people to call one if they like to [14:22:14] just discussing the UH's [14:22:35] moylan thanks yeah [14:22:39] ah?Uk [14:22:40] ie i call one thins sunday at x time in someplace [14:22:44] quarterly sounds good to me [14:22:56] *UH [14:23:14] makes it more of an event [14:25:04] cool [14:25:54] so 2 proposals: monthly lunchtime weekend, or ad-hoc... [14:26:20] third quarterly weekend [14:26:27] ^^ [14:26:34] yes [14:26:38] lets not set it in stone [14:26:51] I think that idea floats well but I don't attend these so.... [14:27:01] i'd suggest ad-hoc at first to see what happens. [14:27:07] agree [14:27:11] I agree with trd112 but I don't want it to drift into oblivion [14:27:19] requiring someone to 'call'/'organise' it might spur people [14:27:37] (which might increase participation) [14:27:48] sounds like a plan [14:28:05] vote or agree? [14:28:16] * ebel is tempted to table this topic for the moment and move to the re-approval topic [14:28:23] before we get all distracted and tired... [14:28:41] * infoturtle quite distracted as it stands [14:28:58] leave it as tdr112 suggested [14:29:08] (well to postpone this topic for the moment) [14:29:27] OK [14:29:32] (we'll come back to it later) [14:29:41] Limerick one is a separate discussion I reckon. [14:29:42] [TOPIC] LoCo Reapproval [14:29:42] This is closing in fast on us. Need to get the reapproval page son up soon. [14:29:42] Has ebel gotten the e-mail yet? [14:29:51] yes I have got an email about reapproval [14:30:06] I've been subscribed to a private bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-locoteams/+bug/784671 about it [14:30:07] Error: Launchpad(https://launchpad.net) bug 784671 not found [14:30:24] this is a message on the loco-contacts about re-approvals: [14:30:28] [link] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2011-May/005315.html [14:30:39] (there are a few relevant replies) [14:30:59] Looks like they really want team reports and we all owe thanks to tdr112 for looking after that! [14:31:01] good man! [14:31:20] koodoo's sir! [14:31:25] yes indeed [14:31:29] [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/LoCoTeamReApproval [14:31:35] this is stuff we need to do [14:31:44] well it my not big deal and a thanks should go out to airurando for doing it last month when i was busy [14:32:08] twas nothing [14:32:18] just filling a small gap [14:32:28] cheers! [14:32:38] I started working on a reaproval page [14:32:53] wait [14:33:02] what have we to do for reaprovial? [14:33:21] (however i have not yet fully read/digested that stuff from loco-council) [14:33:41] (as you know we get the CDs & Banner cause we're an approved loco, so we should keep this up) [14:33:45] sorry guys, gtg for a few [14:34:19] I understand why, but whatmust we do to get it? [14:34:26] the aproval [14:34:28] just prove we';re active [14:34:30] do stuff [14:34:33] for Ubuntu [14:34:39] not a lug [14:34:45] 'ello czajkowski [14:34:46] ah! [14:34:55] but something that promotes Ubuntu like ubuntu hours, geeknicks, meetings [14:34:59] active community [14:35:00] ebel: aloha [14:35:40] hey cztab [14:35:40] our current method of CD distribution is a good plus I reckon. [14:35:50] airurando: aye [14:36:04] dropped some down to miLKlabs last night [14:36:13] great [14:36:31] czajkowski started of this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamReApprovalApplication [14:36:43] and i added some stuff w.r.t. why we should get reapproved [14:36:55] trying to point out things we said we'd do that we did do, and things we kept doing [14:37:11] we shall have to look at this again in light of the guidelines from the loco-council [14:37:25] AFAIK there is no date for our reapproval meeting [14:37:45] there is no date as such [14:37:47] I think links to the events and meetings wiki pages are required [14:37:49] It should be on european time, and would be helpful if we could get as many people there as possible [14:37:52] but we'd love to get them in sooner [14:37:56] rather than in october [14:38:05] partially to 'cheerlead' and also to prove that it's not just one person [14:38:17] * airurando will be there [14:38:28] I'll also be there to cheer lead on [14:38:33] whenever it is [14:38:41] and not voting as a member of the council [14:39:01] I can be there too [14:39:05] czajkowski: i shall order a fresh kitten to your house if we don't get it :P [14:39:14] lol [14:39:18] facts and figures would be good [14:39:19] be nice [14:39:20] on the topic anyone want some kittens?# [14:39:25] I'll also go over the application [14:39:40] team members then and now [14:39:47] we should flesh out the reapproval application and add links for our events & things [14:39:53] mailing list subscribers then and not [14:40:08] correct me if i'm wrong czajkowski, but proof esp. photos helps our case a lot, right? [14:40:41] i.e. "Here's ubuntu-ie at this release party", "Here we are doing this". "This is the mailing list announcment for that bug jam", "here's a list of all our team reports" etc. [14:40:50] ebel: yes [14:40:54] our participation in Global Jams [14:41:02] 2 venues last time [14:41:04] PHOTOS make us happy [14:41:17] team reports which we;re damn good at [14:41:35] links to photos appear on the wiki events pages [14:41:39] central location for those photos? i have some from various events that could thrown up.

[14:44:18] may take a while. between computers at the mo so data is slightly scattered. [14:44:36] well when folks are happy mail me and I can go over it [14:44:40] or nab me here [14:44:43] it wont take long [14:44:51] few hours really [14:44:55] yeo [14:45:03] and we can submit ours sooner rather than later [14:45:07] *yep [14:45:42] moylan: see pm [14:45:47] how about we have a meet up for it [14:45:51] [agreed] we will all try to help our reapproval for it [14:45:52] this weekend ?

[14:54:32] Only NUIG kindly asked not to receive CDs because they did not feel it would be the best use of those CDs. [14:54:32] UCD still haven't gotten back to me. [14:54:32] All else dispatched via post with a special hand delivery to infoturtle for distribution at Milklabs and the June Geeknic. [14:54:33] 40 or so Desktop CDs remain with x Server and y Kubuntu. I would reckon up to 20 for UCD [14:55:16] airurando: i got the tog ones , opening them now [14:55:46] so of these 40 left , what do we want to do with them [14:55:58] or 20 left [14:56:06] any ideas [14:56:33] the limerick learning hub ?
