AlanBell - discuss ongoing work re new website

• <AlanBell> ok, well some things have moved on

  <AlanBell> we have added a totally awesome recipes section

  <brobostigon> is that beta.ubuntu-uk.org ?

  <AlanBell> I think most should be ubuntu themed in some way

  <AlanBell> [link] http://beta.ubuntu-uk.org

• <AlanBell> and we are having a website hack day on the 10th of December

  <AlanBell> it will be an all day thing, somewhat organised on the IRC channel, pop along whenever you can

  <ipopey> Great plan

  <brobostigon> sounds interesting.

  <nperry> how are we contributing?

  <AlanBell> any thoughts and ideas on the website while we are here?

  <AlanBell> nperry: content, some articles about the loco and what we are up to

  <brobostigon> i havent had a good look yet, so dont know AlanBell

  <AlanBell> the map needs a bit of work

  <AlanBell> or you could even try putting in an Ubuntu themed recipe

  <nperry> let me expand, I'm free for some wordpress hacking.. but we need the source first

  <brunogirin> do we have the Ubuntini in there?

  <nperry> so maybe github?

  <AlanBell> we can put the ubuntini in, perhaps adding a uniquely british twist to it somehow

  <JamesTait-HTC> I'm interested in the map project.

  <AlanBell> nperry: or launchpad

  <JamesTait-HTC> Also, is it just tweets up there, or dents too?

  <ipopey> Be nice if we didn't fiddle much with the word press core

  <AlanBell> nperry: actually the source is in a bzr repo, based on the light-wordpress-theme in the ubuntu-website project on launchpad

  <AlanBell> JamesTait-HTC: just tweets, adding dents would be awesome

• JamesTait-HTC notes the project report.

  <JamesTait-HTC> repo! Autocomplete....

  <AlanBell> I wouldn't touch the wordpress core, but we can do plugins that can do anything

  <brunogirin> ipopey: if it's in launchpad then we can all start branches and someone (AlanBell?) can do the merges and make sure we don't touch the core

• brobostigon gets a caffeince topup.

  <brobostigon> caffeine*

  <AlanBell> sounds like you need one brobostigon

  <AlanBell> ok, moving on?

  <ipopey> Cool

  <brobostigon>

  <AlanBell> [PROGRESS REPORT] AlanBell - liaise with the Hub re XMAS bash, booked for December 21st

AlanBell - liaise with the Hub re XMAS bash, booked for December 21st

• <AlanBell> yeah, done that

  <AlanBell> [link] http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/568/detail/

• <AlanBell> so it is all booked for the 21st at the Hub Islington

  <AlanBell> I was hoping for a few more people to be signed up than we have so far

  <brunogirin> can't make it

  <AlanBell> if anyone can help promote it and push it out to more people that would be great

  <JamesTait-HTC> Bit far for me.

  <AlanBell> tweets, dents, emails to LUGs etc

  <nperry> sames as JamesTait-HTC

  <AlanBell> facebook thingumies

  <AlanBell> stick it on diaspora

  <AlanBell> etc. etc.

  <ipopey> Lol

  <AlanBell> pimp that event!

  <brobostigon> no-one had disapor access yet.

  <Biglesp> AlanBell: I'll mention it where possible. Sorry I can't come, us poor northerners dont venture to the big smoke that often.

  <brobostigon> diaspora*

  <brobostigon> has*

• JamesTait-HTC hands brobostigon a coffee.

  <brobostigon> thank you JamesTait-HTC

  <AlanBell> [PROGRESS REPORT] danfish and brunogirin to brainstorm re public sector OSS event

danfish and brunogirin to brainstorm re public sector OSS event

• <brunogirin> I had a couple of email exchange with danfish and we came up with a few ideas

  <brunogirin> then work deadlines took over

  <brunogirin> but that should be over by the end of this week so will pick up with danfish from next week and over the xmas hols

  <AlanBell> ok, that happens, want to share some of the ideas?

  <AlanBell> ok, and danfish is currently lost in the snow on the way back from somewhere warm

  <brunogirin> basic ideas: start with a state of the (health) nation

  <brunogirin> Maybe group talks around use cases, such as:

  <brunogirin> > * Primary care: what software is in use in GP practices,

  <brunogirin> > * Secondary care: hospitals, community and mental health trusts,

  <brunogirin> > * Medical labs?

  <exobuzz> add the word "enterprise" to the oss software, and tell them its ?100,000 plus additional payments for the next 100 years, and they will surely buy into it. ..

  <AlanBell> might be nice to compare or showcase open source healthcare solutions working in other countries

  <brunogirin> yes indeed

  <AlanBell> oh and don't forget openmolar for the dentists

  <brunogirin> didn't know about it, so I will make a note

  <AlanBell> the author was interviewed on the podcast

  <brunogirin> anyway, as I said, I'll pick up with dan as soon as work quietens down

  <AlanBell> I expect ipopey will tell you which episode

  <AlanBell> right, lets move on, but have a progress report on that again in the next meeting.

  <brunogirin> no problem

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] ipopey - Open Source Expo

ipopey - Open Source Expo

• <ipopey> Eh?

  <ipopey> Oh is this the expo in London?

  <AlanBell> yes

  <AlanBell> had your name against it, but I actually emailed the organiser

  <ipopey> Any news?

  <AlanBell> I need to follow up with a call

  <AlanBell> I suspect we can get a stand in the .org village bit

  <ipopey> Do you have a link ?

  <AlanBell> especially if we can pursuade Canonical to get a paid for stand

• <AlanBell> http://www.opensourceexpo.co.uk/

  <ipopey> Ta

  <AlanBell> is this something we want to do? What would we be doing there? what is our core message and so on

  <ipopey> So once we have a stand we can put the call out for volunteers

  <ipopey> Yeah

  <AlanBell> or do we just get a desk and hand out CDs

  <ipopey> That has worked in the past

  <ipopey> We have previously had the busiest stand

  <brunogirin> AlanBell: maybe we can make it an Ubuntu in Business event?

  <AlanBell> oh and have we done whatever we need to do to get the banner?

  <Biglesp> Demos of Ubuntu on various kit always brings in the crowds, especially jogglers

  <ipopey> Heh

  <AlanBell> brunogirin: the event itself is quite big, it is a proper show

  <AlanBell> or have it running on an iPad . . . I wonder where we can find one of them . . .

  <brunogirin> AlanBell: I know but if we prepare like a UIB event, we can prepare demos and stuff to show and say

  <JamesTait-HTC> Heresy!

  <ipopey> You'd need a lot of space for that

  <ipopey> And for free you get very little

  <nperry> Ubuntu on my nexus <3

  <brunogirin> not necessarily, it's a case of thinking about the message as it's an enterprise event

  <AlanBell> brunogirin: yeah, I am inclined to make it as professional as we can, but as ipopey said there won't be much room

  <ipopey> It's not our event

  <ipopey> As such

  <AlanBell> indeed not

  <AlanBell> we will get a small table and a little booth

  <brunogirin> yes I know but we can have a laptop or two with some demos ready to run

  <ipopey> Sure can

  <AlanBell> but we can have some kit demoing things, we might be able to get a projector doing something on the back wall

  <ipopey> That goes down well

  <AlanBell> we can have posters on the walls

  <ipopey> If there is room

  <mattt> yeah, these things aren't a free for all

  <mattt> you'll get a little cube

  <mattt> end of

  <AlanBell> we can have uniformed staff on the booth http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=776

  <ipopey> Depends, we got a big one last year

  <mattt> Alan: ha!

  <brunogirin> and possibly prepare a few real life examples that we can talk visitors through

  <AlanBell> or slightly more sensibly: http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=736

  <brunogirin> indeed, and some CDs

  <AlanBell> ok, so this sounds like something we want to try to do?

  <Biglesp> AlanBell: Sounds good to me mate

  <JamesTait-HTC> +1

  <brunogirin> +1

  <Biglesp> AlanBell: I'll lend a hand / provide advice where I can

  <brobostigon> +1

  <mattt> +1

  <AlanBell> [AGREED] lets try and get a stand at the expo thing

• <AlanBell> [AGREED] nobody will wear http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=776 unless actually on a bike

• <brobostigon> lol

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] AlanBell - Any Other Business

AlanBell - Any Other Business

• <JamesTait-HTC> http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=648 looks quite nice

  <AlanBell> JamesTait-HTC: it does

  <Biglesp> JamesTait-HTC: Looks good mate

  <JamesTait-HTC> Sorry, I'm a bit slow on the phone.

  <ipopey> Want

  <AlanBell> ok, anything else to discuss?

  <brobostigon> not that i can think of, AlanBell

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Date of next meeting

Date of next meeting

• <AlanBell> we have had a request for not a tuesday

  <brobostigon> yes, i need to go to chess more, and that is a tuesday evening.

  <AlanBell> Thursday 16th?

  <JamesTait-HTC> Any day works equally well for me.

  <AlanBell> between the website hack day and the christmas party?

  <brunogirin> Thursday 16th is good for me

  <brobostigon> looks fine here AlanBell

  <ipopey> Nice to mix it up

  <Biglesp> I'm happy with that

  <AlanBell> any objections to the 16th?

  <AlanBell> [agreed] next meeting Thursday 16th December, 9PM

• <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Chair for next meeting

Chair for next meeting

• <AlanBell> eeny meeny miney moe

  <nperry> lets hope its not forgotten

  <ipopey> Sure

  <AlanBell> nperry: did you just volunteer?

  <ipopey> I'll do it

• phillw hides in corner, not used to chairing meetings.

  <AlanBell> ipopey sounded like a volunteer with more conviction than nperry

  <JamesTait-HTC> I won't volunteer because my attendance is not guaranteed.

  <AlanBell> [agreed] ipopey to chair, but probably using a real computer

• <brobostigon> lol

  <nperry> heh

  <AlanBell> and with that
