• <AlanBell> hi all

  <AlanBell> o/

  <DJones> Present

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] review of action items from last meeting

review of action items from last meeting

• <AlanBell> hmm, anything much to add to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/11/January ?

  <DJones> Not as far as I can see

  <AlanBell> ok, well I will add the meeting links

  <AlanBell> no podcasts

  <AlanBell> like Ross and Rachel, they are *on a break*

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] AlanBell - OpenSourceExpo/Cloud Expo stand

AlanBell - OpenSourceExpo/Cloud Expo stand

• <AlanBell> ok, main business of the day

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

  <AlanBell> we are exhibiting at that

• <AlanBell> http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/linuxexposchedule

  <AlanBell> we have a box of assorted swag from Canonical

  <AlanBell> it is a conference pack of goodies

  <AlanBell> 55 lanyards, couple of Tshirts

  <AlanBell> stickers

  <AlanBell> badges

  <AlanBell> the official Ubuntu book

  <AlanBell> couple of baseball hats

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

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

  <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

  <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?

  <AlanBell> Thursday AM is looking a bit thin

  <AlanBell> would be good if selinuxium does the Thursday

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

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

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

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

  <AlanBell> lanyards we can just hand out to people

  <AlanBell> but other things like hats and the book?

  <AlanBell> prizes or something?

  <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

  <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.

  <suprengr> *love

  <AlanBell> suprengr: it is cold up there

  <DJones> Raffle? Free ticket to everyone who visits the stall

  <DJones> For the book anyway

  <AlanBell> could do

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

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

• <AlanBell> http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/2011plan

  <AlanBell> need moar events

  <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

  <AlanBell> ohh, good idea

  <TheOpenSourcerer> How about another Ubuntu in Business event?

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

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

  <AlanBell> and an Ubuntu in Healthcare event

  <TheOpenSourcerer> done

  <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

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

  <DJones> True

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

  <DJones> Sounds good

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

  <AlanBell> ok, any more on the expo?

  <DJones> Nope from me

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] discuss status of beta.ubuntu-uk.org

discuss status of beta.ubuntu-uk.org

• <AlanBell> not much more to discuss on this

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

  <AlanBell> not entirely sure I will get round to that

  <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

  <AlanBell> yup

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Any Other Business

Any Other Business

• <AlanBell> anyone got anything they want to raise?

  <DJones> Nothing

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Date of next meeting

Date of next meeting

• <DJones> When is the expo? Do you need another meeting before then

  <AlanBell> expo is next wednesday

  <AlanBell> this *is* the meeting before then

  <AlanBell> Wednesday 16th?

  <TheOpenSourcerer> 9/10 Feb I guess.

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

  <AlanBell> yup

  <TheOpenSourcerer> Whilst it is still fresh (ish)

  <AlanBell> Thursday 10th at 9:00?

  <TheOpenSourcerer> +1

  <DJones> +1
