[14:05:26] there was only one from may [14:06:21] ebel tog, dublin meetup 2pm saturday for hackathon to work on reapproval page [14:06:54] tdr112 and I did meet up at TOG with czajkowski online [14:07:04] progress was made. [14:07:09] a lot of work done more to do [14:07:13] hooray for progress! [14:07:24] I know ebel did some fancy work also on the reapproval page [14:07:36] * tdr112 still has to do the work he said he would [14:07:44] page is at: [14:07:46] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamReApprovalApplication [14:07:48] cool [14:08:05] (re-approval is later on agenda, we can talk then) [14:08:15] exactly [14:08:21] just about to say that. [14:09:47] that ends it for the reviow of previous action items. [14:09:55] *review [14:10:29] shall we move on ebel? [14:10:42] [topic] June Geeknic: Post-event review [14:10:57] very quick. [14:11:27] a few new faces , which was good [14:11:30] airurando: has photos [14:11:33] :D [14:11:35] Geeknic took place during the lunch hour of 3DCamp in Limerick on Sat 11 Jun 11. [14:11:38] good to hear it went well [14:11:44] photos here: http://pix.ie/ubuntuie/album/412636 [14:12:18] 3DCamp was very enjoyable and while the geeknic was short and small it was good fun. [14:13:09] I recommend this kind of regional event whenever the opportunity arises. [14:13:44] tdr112 gave a presentation at this barcamp and he was excellent. [14:14:11] details of the event can be found at http://3dcamp.barcamp.ie/ [14:14:27] that it for this one from me. [14:14:52] * airurando finishes dinner [14:15:26] airurando: can you take over? [14:15:28] * ebel phone call [14:15:37] ohis that possiblw? [14:15:52] we'll muddle through [14:16:10] new topic [14:16:38] ebel: in the paper http://www.independent.ie/breaking-news/national-news/computer-solves-joyce-pubs-riddle-2676281.html [14:16:49] [TOPIC] August Geeknic: Initial discussion [14:17:10] thoughts on the August Geeknic anyone? [14:17:26] Dublin I suppose? [14:18:09] leaving out the bank holiday leaves: [14:18:22] 12,13,14th [14:18:34] 19,20,21st [14:18:45] 26,27,28th [14:19:17] just starting the ball here, I'm down for any of those and will make this one [14:19:23] poll it? [14:19:25] not picky on the date [14:19:34] doodle [14:19:35] poll might be best [14:19:42] yeah we can doodle. [14:19:54] location? [14:20:00] do we agree to leave the bank holiday off the list? [14:20:06] aye [14:20:07] sure [14:20:19] slashtom: location suggestion? [14:20:46] I've always been a fan of easter island, but it's a bit away [14:21:10] tdr112 any ideas? [14:21:18] how about walk then geeknic? [14:21:26] greystones to bray? [14:21:41] how far is that? [14:21:59] iirc tdr112 has done that walk [14:22:05] 1 or 2 hr walk iirc [14:22:11] * ebel off phone [14:22:13] and geeknic in Bray? [14:22:19] back to you ebel [14:22:26] or greystones, both have dart stations [14:22:35] gtg [14:23:08] I'm happy with whatever is decided [14:23:10] sounds like a class plan! [14:23:38] [agreed] poll for date of august geeknic [14:23:46] * airurando only has small chance of making this one anyway) [14:24:28] I'll set up the poll (assuming it is easy) I'll chat to slashtom if I get stuck [14:24:31] location as a poll? people might add new ones? [14:24:36] doodle is very easy to use and set up [14:25:05] weather was ebel will you do it so please [14:25:17] i'll do the poll(s) [14:25:21] next topic? [14:25:28] yeah [14:25:30] [topic] LoCo Reapproval Application update [14:25:49] some discussion earlier. [14:25:56] now to the nitty gritty [14:26:10] I reckon the experience section is good as is. [14:26:45] I believe we need to fleash out the roadmap section as much as we are comfortable with. [14:27:05] I suggest keeping it very high level [14:27:29] tdr112 has this on his to do list but I think we should all chip in [14:28:37] aloha [14:28:49] czajkowski chatted to me on this recently [14:28:49] FYI I got an email from launchpad saying ubuntu-ie will expire from approved-team group in a few days [14:29:22] on 2011-06-22. i'm guessing that's 2 years after we approved [14:29:30] yes [14:29:30] I reckon we should complete the roadmap and submit shortly [14:29:31] i wouldn't worry about it too much [14:29:41] well ye will expire on the 22nd [14:29:51] oh no [14:29:51] but the meeting is the day before so we can go before re approval then [14:29:53] all of us? [14:30:01] or we can give ye a months grace [14:30:04] infoturtle: the team..... [14:30:07] should we try to get the submission in for next Tuesdays meeting? [14:30:19] tbh the wiki is in great shape and I say yes [14:30:48] great stuff. [14:30:51] ebel? [14:30:56] slashtom? [14:31:01] infoturtle? [14:31:22] I'd be +1 for the next meeting also. [14:31:33] meeting where? [14:31:40] infoturtle: on irc [14:31:41] re-approval meeting next tuesday? possibly.... what time? I don't have time to do much work on wiki page betwen now and then... [14:31:46] can do! [14:32:07] in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda [14:32:13] the wiki is in great shape folks [14:32:17] a little road map [14:32:19] and tis fine [14:32:22] TRUST ME [14:32:22] ebel: all that's needed is a bit of work on the roadmap [14:32:42] I do have one massive question for folks though so when we;re on AOB stab me please [14:34:46] ebel? slashtom? [14:36:04] well if i don't have to do anything.... [14:37:35] nope [14:37:40] I'll hook up with tdr112 before the weekend [14:37:42] the wiki is a really good aplication [14:38:05] ebel if you could review and submit on Monday [14:38:07] though if we can wait, we might get more people at the IRC meeting.... [14:38:20] more to time to organise people to get them there [14:38:30] as long as it's in the hour before the meeting tis fine [14:39:19] we can start plugging it tonight [14:39:25] 6 days left [14:39:26] aye [14:39:38] surely thats enough time no? [14:39:40] * ebel is 50/50 so will go with consenseue [14:39:41] I'll also be there and not voting as council [14:40:08] vote? [14:40:24] yeah [14:40:37] [vote] Should we submit our re-approval for next tuesday? [14:40:45] +1 [14:40:46] 0 [14:40:52] +0 [14:40:53] -1 [14:40:56] +1 [14:41:13] infoturtle? [14:41:25] +1 [14:42:02] tdr112: what's your reasonsing do you think it's not ready ? or you won't be there [14:42:06] czajkowski: we can re-apply the month after right? or what? [14:42:21] well we have 2 options. [14:42:24] i think we need more time [14:42:29] 1) add the wiki application to the bug [14:42:41] 2) we extend the time by a month or so [14:43:08] so up to ye really [14:43:12] honestly [14:43:15] tdr112: what do you think is lacking [14:43:24] given I look at these the whole time, the wiki page is in fantastic shape [14:43:25] tis clear [14:43:30] details all th work [14:44:40] majority seems to be in favour... [14:44:43] tdr112: more time for what? [14:44:58] i wont hold it up [14:45:00] go for it [14:45:17] oki dokie [14:46:21] is it agreed so? [14:46:37] count is 2 so yeah seems so [14:46:45] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamReApprovalApplication [14:46:46] tdr112, if something is niggling at you speak now. [14:47:00] only issue as far as I can see is the flicker images missing which I dont know why they are [14:47:03] nope i will fix it over the next few days [14:47:06] okie [14:47:14] tdr112: I'm doing nothing all weekend hollar [14:47:32] does ebel have to submit it?

[14:51:30] ebel: czajkowski said we just need to add it to the wiki [14:51:33] who's submitting it [14:51:55] anyone can add it to the wiki [14:52:01] ok [14:52:02] so if yer finsihed over the weekend just add it [14:52:20] ok, who ever is the last to finish on the wiki adds it to the agenda for the loco council [14:52:28] ? [14:52:47] yeah [14:53:35] cool [14:53:40] next topic? [14:53:50] ok [14:53:52] [topic] ubuntu-ie.org hosting options [14:54:19] I put this up after ebel's mail [14:54:27] well I can ask BK to do it again if we like [14:54:43] we can [14:54:45] I know thethomaseffect asked about domains names to be pointed but we needed to confirm the hosting [14:54:55] cause our BK sponsored hosting is due to expire soon [14:54:59] and then a mail to be sent to RT@ubuntu.com which I'll sort [14:55:04] I was working on that too and then got stuck with it [14:55:04] a few people (on the mailing list) have offered hosting [14:55:17] nods [14:55:19] yeah [14:55:26] appreciated for sure [14:55:33] However we need a webmaster/webmistriss not a host.... [14:55:51] well we have 2 people working on a site [14:55:52] Apologies, I'm here [14:55:52] :s [14:55:56] ah ha [14:55:57] :) [14:55:59] thethomaseffect: aloha [14:56:02] i have forgotten what was going on with the web hosting... [14:56:05] Hallo :) [14:56:42] I need someone to tell me what dns to point to where so I can resolve that issue [14:56:56] what's the problem with DNS? [14:57:21] ebel: I dont know it was mentoned in here by thethomaseffect [14:57:26] I assumed to point to new hosting [14:58:12] thethomaseffect: can you give an update on the new hosting? [14:58:26] The address needed is somewhere in the blacknight CP I'm quite positive, but since I've no experience in repointing domains I wouldn't be entirely certain [14:58:37] ebel: Sure, any parts in particular? [14:59:50] All well above my head. [14:59:54] well, i dunno... eh is it ready to go live? what have you done with it? how does it compare to the old hosting? [15:00:30] thethomaseffect: have you seen http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-community-webthemes [15:00:45] should we contact BK and ask if they can renew the hosting? or what? [15:00:53] I seen mention yesterday that ubuntu uk use wordpress instead of drupal. Wordpress is a lot easier to maintain and would fit the site better, since it's mostly used for news. I think since it's not an issue to archive the old site at archive.ubuntu-ie.org it would be a good move to use it. [15:01:19] czajkowski: Had a quick look, though design isn't an issue as soon as domain is repointed [15:01:52] the only reason I would chose BK is well we have some of them on here and on the ML [15:01:53] you don't *need* to change DNS / repoint domains to test. You can edit /etc/hosts (if that's what's blocking you) [15:01:58] and it's nice to support irish [15:02:06] ebel: I've done a theme, I'm cautious of installing any CMS unless it's on the domain that'll be the one used in the live version [15:02:28] once we have it ready, we can repoint the DNS to the new server [15:02:52] do/did you have access to the blacknight hosting to set things up? [15:02:57] couldn't I just put up an under consturuction page and link back to old site? [15:03:07] czajkowski: will you ask BK as you offered? [15:03:12] yup [15:03:14] can do [15:03:23] great stuff. [15:03:34] ebel action for czajkowski [15:03:45] [agreed] ask BK for more hosting [15:03:47] [action] [15:03:54] [action] czajkowski to ask BK [15:04:34] thethomaseffect: well we /could/, but that's not very user freindly, and you can install any CMS on the BK hosting and then we can send users over when it's ready? [15:06:01] ebel: In the installation, all the links will be pointing at the wrong address. It'll be the absolute one rather than the one that'll be used. It's not good from a security perspective. It's possible there'll be no issue but what can go wrong, will [15:06:34] once the domain is repointed, unless i have personal stuff, i'm confident i can have most stuff migrated in just 48 hours [15:07:11] ok so atm, don;t we have access to the hosting [15:07:16] so can we try it out [15:07:48] yeah [15:07:57] Kill all Zombies [15:08:03] we ourselves can't change the DNS, we need canonical to do that. [15:08:10] myself and infoturtle ran into PHP issues while trying to set things up on the absolute url also. We could reach a index.htl but not a drupal/install.php [15:08:33] ebel: see that there is the info I need [15:08:37] if you tell me what you need changed [15:08:45] I'll do the mail and go talk to IS to get it done [15:08:49] thethomaseffect: you have access to the BK hosting, right? can you start looking at installing things? [15:08:56] once the somain is sorted out I'm sure it won't be an issue, my own hosting is blacknight and it was smooth sailing installing drupal and wordpress [15:08:58] but I am cluseless as to what you want DNS changed to [15:09:08] (I'm trying to make sure I'm not blocking anything) [15:09:31] ebel: like i said, i did, and can't until there's a domain [15:09:59] * czajkowski is lost [15:10:07] right, so ubunut-ie.org and www.ubuntu-ie.org need to point to the new blacknight host then? [15:10:13] (any other domains) [15:10:23] aye [15:10:31] ok [15:10:34] and afaik no [15:10:41] I'll figure out the details fromk BK, then send them to czajkowski. who can pass that email onto canonical/whoever (since they know who) [15:10:53] then we'll tell ye and ye should be good to go? [15:11:10] ebel: thanks [15:11:19] if you tell me what I'll email it and then get it done ASAP [15:11:26] kewl [15:12:23] sorted [15:12:27] next topic? [15:12:44] yip [15:12:47] [topic] Launchpad team are sprinting in Dublin (from tdr112) [15:12:54] :D [15:14:28] tdr112 around? [15:14:44] as far as I know there is a pub picked [15:14:48] possible the barge [15:14:58] close to the hotel where they are staying lower leason st [15:16:53] ok. what dates is this? we could have an ubuntu hour? or similar?

(or anyone else)? [15:19:06] it;s a laucpad [15:19:09] *launchpad [15:19:19] Canonical platform team and linaro over here [15:19:23] over 300 of them [15:20:31] lots [15:20:43] yup [15:20:49] pretty much as big as a UDS [15:21:11] cool [15:21:52] when is this happening? [15:22:03] begining of July [15:22:13] we should try to meet up?
