 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> hi all

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> o/

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Present

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] review of action items from last meeting

==  review of action items from last meeting ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> hmm, anything much to add to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/11/January ?

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Not as far as I can see

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, well I will add the meeting links

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> no podcasts

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> like Ross and Rachel, they are *on a break*

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] AlanBell - OpenSourceExpo/Cloud Expo stand

==  AlanBell - OpenSourceExpo/Cloud Expo stand ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, main business of the day

||<#CCCCCC>'' http://www.opensourceexpo.co.uk/''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://www.opensourceexpo.co.uk/

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we are exhibiting at that

||<#CCCCCC>'' http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/linuxexposchedule''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/linuxexposchedule

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we have a box of assorted swag from Canonical

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> it is a conference pack of goodies

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> 55 lanyards, couple of Tshirts

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> stickers

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> badges

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the official Ubuntu book

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> couple of baseball hats

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> From whats been said on the mailing list, it sounds like you've got quite a few volunteers as well to help out

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yes, and I need to mail the names to the organisers in a sec

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> after the event on the wednesday we will go to a pub somewhere nearby and perhaps meet up with other folk working in London

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Are you going to be fully covered with enough volunteers, hardware etc? Or does there need to be a further request to the list?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> Thursday AM is looking a bit thin

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> would be good if selinuxium does the Thursday

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we don't at the moment have the CDs

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Much as I'd like to go down there, its too far & too busy at work for me

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> but Daviey will be chasing this tomorrow and one way or another I expect this will get sorted out in time

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I am not entirely sure how to best use the swag we have been given

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> lanyards we can just hand out to people

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> but other things like hats and the book?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> prizes or something?

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Hopefully anyway, if not, I'd send an email to the list asking for more help if possible, maybe specify when help is needed

 <'''<<Verbatim(suprengr)>>'''> WOuld live to volounteer - however instead I send sincere apologies. I deliberately did/could not add my name to list of helpers as I have heard rumours of being sent up to Scotland.

 <'''<<Verbatim(suprengr)>>'''> *love

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> suprengr: it is cold up there

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Raffle? Free ticket to everyone who visits the stall

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> For the book anyway

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> could do

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we don't *have* to use it all at this event

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Are there any other events planned/expected that it could be used at

||<#CCCCCC>'' http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/2011plan''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/2011plan

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> need moar events

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Thinking outloud, could you take a list of names & email addresses for visitors to the stall in return for a raffle ticket, maybe one way of notifying visitors of future events

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ohh, good idea

 <'''<<Verbatim(TheOpenSourcerer)>>'''> How about another Ubuntu in Business event?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, I will maybe get some raffle tickets or figure out a more high tech way of doing that

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> TheOpenSourcerer: yes indeed, bung one on the schedule we can always move it

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and an Ubuntu in Healthcare event

 <'''<<Verbatim(TheOpenSourcerer)>>'''> done

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> The only other thought on that would be making sure we get peoples permission to send emails so there isn't a complaint about people being spammed

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> DJones: meh, it is an expo, people expect a followup if they give their card/get scanned

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> True

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, so I will take all the goodies and we will either use them usefully or retain for some better idea

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Sounds good

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I don't want to just hand out the bigger items randomly for no purpose

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, any more on the expo?

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Nope from me

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] discuss status of beta.ubuntu-uk.org

==  discuss status of beta.ubuntu-uk.org ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> not much more to discuss on this

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I would kind of like to get the flippin map working by the time of the expo and turn it on

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> not entirely sure I will get round to that

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Its not something I've had much chance to look at, so maybe move this forward to the next meeting when more people are available

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yup

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] Any Other Business

==  Any Other Business ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> anyone got anything they want to raise?

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Nothing

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] Date of next meeting

==  Date of next meeting ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> When is the expo? Do you need another meeting before then

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> expo is next wednesday

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> this *is* the meeting before then

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> Wednesday 16th?

 <'''<<Verbatim(TheOpenSourcerer)>>'''> 9/10 Feb I guess.

 <'''<<Verbatim(TheOpenSourcerer)>>'''> Might be an idea to have a review of the Expo - See what worked what didn't etc...

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yup

 <'''<<Verbatim(TheOpenSourcerer)>>'''> Whilst it is still fresh (ish)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> Thursday 10th at 9:00?

 <'''<<Verbatim(TheOpenSourcerer)>>'''> +1
