• Organizing participation in CISL 2011 Argentina chapter with conference plus an Ubuntu/Ubuntu-ar promotional booths (September)
• Preparing participation in EPUEL 2011 with an Ubuntu and Ubuntu Community conference and booth (September)

• August Team Meeting - This meeting was on the 14th of August 2011 and attended by 8 team members

• The team decided to brainstorm ideas for finding more events to go to? (carried over from the July meeting). It was suggested the Ubuntu-Au set up stands at University open days and local computer markets.

• jpickett (sagaci on IRC) suggested that Ubuntu-Au establish an official YouTube channel where we could post content under the Ubuntu-Au banner. This was defered to the mailing list for further discussion concerning setup and administrators, reviewers/approvers.

• mrshr3d indicated on the meeting agenda that he was doing up a design and researching options for professionally made name badges for use at release parties and events. It was decided that discussion on this matter would be deferred to the mailing list for wider input.

• The attendees were reminded that the Ubuntu-AU team had two Jams running, the Documentation Jam on Friday, 2nd September at 7pm-9pm AEST and the en-AU Translation Jam on Saturday 3rd September from around 2pm-4pm. jpickett (sagaci on IRC) and bensonsoftware (benny on IRC) were to also send reminders to the team mailing list regarding both these events.

• It seems the Ubuntu-Au mailing lists (and by extension, all Ubuntu mailing lists) has troubles with Gmail and the anti-phishing filter. JaredNorris has notified the required parties in an attempt to resolve the issues members are experiencing and will update the team with new information, as it comes to hand.
