People who have achieved something in September, please place it in the report.

• <AlanBell> [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/10/September

• <Monotoko> I think I was the only one with an action item from the last meeting

  <AlanBell> anyone done anything interesting they want to add to the report?

  <AlanBell> if so, it is a wiki, please add it

  <AlanBell> [PROGRESS REPORT] Monotoko to call places

Monotoko to call places

• <CyberJacob> I'm in the progress of trying to work out how to install NBR without a cdrom or usb

  <Monotoko> I have called places, however the cost is too high for me to cover alone and I have not heard anything from IT companies

  <Monotoko> If it was to go ahead, we also have a set location of Leeds

  <AlanBell> hmm, ok

  <AlanBell> what costs are you looking at?

  <Monotoko> around £150 for the hire for a day

  <popey> thats not so bad

  <Monotoko> I did try to call some libraries as you suggested but due to the fact that it is a Sunday the majority are closed

  <Monotoko> popey, I'm still a student so don't really have a working wage

  <CyberJacob> same

  <AlanBell> we need to get more businesses involved in the loco

  <contrary> Just snooping but why not look for a community trust that has a hall - they might welcome the income of a day's hire

  <Monotoko> Yeah...I mean if no business is willing to sponsor fully I could put up half

  <Monotoko> community trust in Leeds...hmmm I could have a look

  <AlanBell> I would totally sponsor something like that if it was close to me

  <brunogirin> so would I

  <contrary> Councils are trying to ditch their community centres in the Midlands, so they are probably doing the same in Yorks

  <popey> ditto

  <AlanBell> I think another appeal for sponsorship to the list is worth a try

  <Monotoko> AlanBell, okay I will have a go...shall i appeal to the local LUG as well?

  <AlanBell> other than that it is a pointer that we need to do more to convince businesses of the value of getting involved in the community

  <MichealH> Monotoko: Probably

  <Monotoko> AlanBell, definitely

  <AlanBell> also, Sunday was a bit of a poor choice of release date, even if it is 10/10/10

  <daubers> Oooh er

  <daubers> evening

  <Monotoko> MichaelH, okay I will shoot an email over there...and yes it certainly was, could have had the university if it wasn't a sunday

  <AlanBell> ok, lets move on

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Daviey and MichealH - Website

Daviey and MichealH - Website

• <Daviey> (well we all suspect it will be unofficially released on the |Friday)

  <AlanBell> any updates on that?

  <Daviey> Well the last 2 weeks have been pretty hectic for me, so i apologise that not too much has changed

  <Daviey> One key thing that has changed is that....

  <Daviey> The problem i was having was integreting the planet

  <Daviey> Following a discussion with AlanBell, and some further thought... that should be kept seperate

  <MichealH> Daviey: And thats fixed?

  <MichealH> Ahh

  <AlanBell> there is a cunning plan

  <MichealH> Daviey: Are you going to call for help?

  <Daviey> (hopefully with the hope of it being part of the main planet, but under a seperate location... need to ack that with the CC)

  <MichealH> Daviey: Like, Let us get involved?

  <Daviey> So as it stands... it's actually in a pretty good shape.

  <AlanBell> what is?

  <CyberJacob> I'd be willing to help out

  <Daviey> It has probably another hour of work left to do... which is great timing as now we are in FF -.. my life is easier

  <Daviey> One issue we do have... is content

  <Daviey> Once it's live... it's still gonna be bare of content

  <Monotoko> Daviey, as in Articles?

  <Daviey> The main thing we really need at the comment is content

  <MichealH> Daviey: I can write for the site

  <Daviey> Monotoko, well yes.. but also "What we do"

  <Daviey> MichealH, Awesome

  <Monotoko> Daviey, i can write for the site...i write for brighthub under the Linux channel at the moment

  <MichealH> Daviey:

  <Daviey> \o/

  <Daviey> Okay

  <Daviey> One thing the team needs to decide is how to control that

  <Monotoko> shoot an email over to me tomorrow

  <Daviey> I think in some form, there needs to be peer review.

  <popey> the fridge does that, peer review

  <popey> one person submits, another accepts

  <Daviey> Monotoko / MichealH: will do... Any other volunteers for content?

  <Daviey> popey, perfect

  <AlanBell> yeah, I will help with content

  <popey> me too

  <Daviey> \o/

  <Monotoko> sorted

  <Daviey> Should we have an editoral team?

  <AlanBell> ok, so Daviey, when can you tell the content peeps how it all works?

  <popey> yes

  <popey> no single point of failure

  <AlanBell> and no single point of win

  <Daviey> AlanBell, I would like to tie it to Wednesday evening next week.. that gives me time for some polish.

  <Daviey> and get it uploaded.

  <Daviey> Is that suitable?

  <Monotoko> Daviey, yes...everyone makes typo's

  <MichealH> Daviey: Yes

  <MichealH> It can be done for Wed

  <AlanBell> [action] Daviey to work with the website editorial team Wednesday 22nd

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] daubers - Improving Support

daubers - Improving Support

• <Daviey> AlanBell, just that - interested people - jump here on Wednedsay evening.

  <daubers> ah me!

  <AlanBell> yup

  <daubers> Umm... I've been through a manic period at work (blasted customers) so haven't done anything more really

  <Monotoko> daubers, what needs doing?

  <daubers> There is a meeting shortly (next week I think) to go over stuff, so I need to do stuff by then

  <daubers> Shall put a mail to the list

  <AlanBell> ok, so can you sumarise the last meeting a bit?

  <daubers> The last meeting was a very good starting point for getting things moving. We identified that some effort needs to go into talking to the docs team

  <daubers> and some targets and stuff need to be set

  <daubers> But everyone was interested, which is cool

  <AlanBell> [action] daubers to mail list relating to progress and next steps on the improving support project

• <daubers> ta

  <AlanBell> next meeting is on the 23rd still?

  <daubers> Yes

  <AlanBell> great

  <daubers> I've been trying to timethem as the week following the -uk general meeting

  <AlanBell> ok, lets move on then

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] 10.10.10 Release Party

10.10.10 Release Party

• <AlanBell> right, now there is some news on this

  <Monotoko> ohhh?

  <CyberJacob> yay

  <AlanBell> Canonical seem to want to support a community event more this time

  <AlanBell> rather than the london event being an office party for Canonical

  <AlanBell> and we have an event in the planning already

  <Monotoko> AlanBell, that just gave me an idea, would Canonical be interested in sponsoring the leeds installfest?

  <AlanBell> Monotoko: we can but ask

  <Monotoko> add that to my actions ^.#

  <AlanBell> [action] AlanBell to put Monotoko in touch with someone at canonical to ask about sponsorship of Leeds installfest

• <AlanBell> [link] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/307/detail/

• <AlanBell> that is the details of the party as is, we think the venue will be big enough

  <AlanBell> John Stevenson has organised it which is fantastic

  <AlanBell> and lets all get behind that one and support it how we can

  <Monotoko> I really wish I could attend that one

  <AlanBell> starting by registering attendance on that page I guess

• brunogirin is registering now

• daubers will check with the bank of wife

  <AlanBell> I guess we should publicise that a bit more including something to the list and on the planet etc.

  <AlanBell> any more to say on the release party at the moment?

  <daubers> (Don't forget your towel)

  <AlanBell> good point

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] AlanBell - Any Other Business

AlanBell - Any Other Business

• <CyberJacob> what's the smile for towel?

  <AlanBell> ok, one thing that happened in the last day or so is the UDS sponsorship decisions

  <AlanBell> I am not going

  <AlanBell> anyone get sponsorship, or is going anyway?

  <Monotoko> id take that as a no

  <Monotoko> :P

  <AlanBell> tumbleweed rolls past

  <AlanBell> I believe there is quite a focus on upstreams getting to UDS this time

  <brunogirin> not going either: I would need a new passport...

  <Monotoko> I wish i was, but not enough money or a passport

  <AlanBell> well, remote participation all round then.

  <AlanBell> ok, another thing

  <Monotoko> indeed!

  <AlanBell> the Profile Roulette thing was a good project, however I keep forgetting to spin the wheel

  <CyberJacob> autospinner?

  <AlanBell> but it is a wiki, so anyone can do it

  <AlanBell> and I would encourage you to do so

  <AlanBell> CyberJacob: if you can do an autospinner that can do oauth authentication against the wiki that would be fab

  <CyberJacob> the auth may be a problem, but I'll give it a go

  <Monotoko> CyberJacob, if not I could...I have oauth scripts and a server for other projects

  <AlanBell> it is all possible, I just never found the time to figure out oauth from python

  <CyberJacob> I've got a brand new server sitting in a datacenter to run it on

  <AlanBell> [action] CyberJacob to investigate automating the profile roulette page

• <AlanBell> any other other business?

  <Monotoko> hmmm, nope I think thats all

  <Monotoko> from here anyways

  <AlanBell> going once

  <AlanBell> going twice

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Date of next meeting

Date of next meeting

• <CyberJacob> sold!

  <Monotoko> any date should be fine by me as long as its this sort of time

  <CyberJacob> same here

  <Monotoko> shall we just say 2 weeks then?

  <Monotoko> 1st October

  <AlanBell> 1st sounds good to me

  <AlanBell> friday

  <brunogirin> that's a Friday, probably better on the 30/9

  <AlanBell> maybe tuesday 28th

  <AlanBell> haven't done tuesday for a while

  <Monotoko> hehe

  <Monotoko> tuesday is good by me

  <brunogirin> tuesday 28th works for me

  <AlanBell> any objections to tuesday 28th?

• Monotoko watches tumbleweed roll past again

  <TheOpenSourcerer> Tuesday is better than friday

  <Monotoko> indeed

  <CyberJacob> nope, no objections

  <AlanBell> [Agreed] next meeting Tuesday 28th September 9PM

• <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Chair for next meeting

  <Monotoko> I will wait another meeting i think

  <CyberJacob> o/
