    <TheOpenSourcerer> Please try to keep comments within the relevant topic, when I close a topic by posting the next one you may finish the line you are typing and return to it in any other business or after the meeting.

    <HazRPG> brobostigon: I should remember to do that

    <TheOpenSourcerer> We are using MootBot [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScribesTeam/MootBot. If a vote is called you can say +1, 0 or -1 to record your vote.

    <brobostigon> HazRPG: Smile :)

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Want to do a roll call then?

    <brobostigon> Smile :)

    <AlanBell> o/

    <DJones> o/

    <HazRPG> sure

    <HazRPG> o/

    <TheOpenSourcerer> OK - Moving swiftly on to the first topic of the evening:

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/LastMeeting

  • <TheOpenSourcerer> [TOPIC] Review of action items from last meeting

Review of action items from last meeting

  • <TheOpenSourcerer> As you may see, there weren't any actions that were actually *recorded* in the last meeting according to the Wiki, so this could be a very short topic.

    <dutchie> ooh, am i actually around for a meeting?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> If anyone thinks they did have an action and wants to discuss it please do so now.

    <HazRPG> dutchie: seems so

  • AlanBell skims the minutes

    <TheOpenSourcerer> However, reading through the recorded minutes of the last one, I do note the following discussions took place (abridged somewhat by me):

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <popey>so candtalan and barrydrake to report back about novatech and maplin?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <candtalan> ok

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <barrydrake> YEP

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I also believe we decided to start an Etherpad type page to dicuss and plan a campaign to talk to PC retailers about trying to hold in-store "Ubuntu Days"...

    <popey> o/

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <TheOpenSourcerer> Why not use an etherpad page to do some prep

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <popey> yeah, we could mail the list and put a page together, good idea TheOpenSourcerer

  • AlanBell failed to send feedback to maggie Sad :(

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <TheOpenSourcerer> So there are consistent messages etc

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <popey> get some collaboration going

    <TheOpenSourcerer> <popey> yes, agreed

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I note that there were no timescales assigned. So can I suggest that we record these as actions now for the record? Then they can be followed up in future meetings?

    <popey> +1

  • AlanBell succeeded in getting beta.ubuntu.org up and running

    <DJones> +1

    <HazRPG> +1

    <AlanBell> or popey did to be accurate

    <AlanBell> +1

    <brobostigon> AlanBell: congrats, impressive, Smile :)

    <brobostigon> +1

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Thanks.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> OK.

  • <TheOpenSourcerer> That one?

  • brobostigon got natty working Smile :)

    <popey> win

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Anyone want to quickly mention any activities they have got up to for the record?

    <AlanBell> any more to add to this one? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/11/February

    <HazRPG> Guessing we need to create that page?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Yep. Smile :-)

  • AlanBell checks against http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/2011plan

    <AlanBell> the ODF plugfest was interesting

    <TheOpenSourcerer> And the OSSG?

    <AlanBell> and I handed out about 25 CDs at the meeting with the home office chap

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Nice.

    <AlanBell> including one to Tariq of the Home Office and Qumar of the Cabinet Office

    <HazRPG> AlanBell: nice

    <TheOpenSourcerer> An extra house point for AlanBell I think.

    <AlanBell> and I think the chap from the MoD got one too Smile :)

    <brobostigon> agreed, TheOpenSourcerer

    <HazRPG> indeed

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Anyone else get up to anything then "Ubuntu-esque" then?

  • DJones wonders whether popey should mention the podcast

    <popey> its on the march page

    <DJones> ok

    <TheOpenSourcerer> OK?

    <popey> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/11/March

    <HazRPG> TheOpenSourcerer: Erm, I've been learning how to install/setup Ubuntu Server recently

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/11/March

  • <TheOpenSourcerer> HazRPG: Have you told anyone else about it goodness?

    <AlanBell> is anyone doing an Ubuntu Developer week presentation?

    <AlanBell> because that should go on March if you are

    <HazRPG> Been taking notes of everything I learn and will slowly be posting them on my blog, and then later maybe make some videos to put up on the ubuntu/ubuntu-uk site

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Great,

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Anyone else or shall we move on?

    <HazRPG> TheOpenSourcerer: So far, my friends and people on #ubunut-uk ... but like I said, videos on the way hopefully Smile :)

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I will take that as a let's move on then...

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [TOPIC] AlanBell - Quiz night

AlanBell - Quiz night

  • <TheOpenSourcerer> Over to you AlanBell

    <AlanBell> yup, ok

    <HazRPG> AlanBell: Ubuntu Developer week?

    <brobostigon> Smile :)

    <AlanBell> so we have some schwag left over from the cloud expo event

    <AlanBell> and we decided the best way to dispose of it would be to use it as a prize in a quiz night

    <brobostigon> good thinking,

    <AlanBell> I have a team of crack quizmasters beavering away in dictionary corner making questions

    <brobostigon> hehe

    <AlanBell> and I fixed the quiz bot that we have in the #ubuntu-trivia channel

    <HazRPG> nice

    <AlanBell> and if I never see TCL again it will be too soon

    <TheOpenSourcerer> What are some of the great prizes AlanBell ?

    <AlanBell> oh yes, for the winners we have some baseball caps, for that American gangsta look

    <DJones> And what type of questions, Ubuntu/Linux/FSF or general knowledge/sport/General mix etc

    <AlanBell> wear with a hoodie to avoid being dragged on tiresome trips round shopping centres

    <HazRPG> ooo the ubuntu hoodie?

    <AlanBell> for the loser, we have a copy of the official Ubuntu Book, Edition 5

    <HazRPG> schweet!

    <AlanBell> HazRPG: no, you have to provide your own hoodie

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Sounds great.

    <HazRPG> oh the schweet was for the bookt

    <AlanBell> the questions will be on Ubuntu

  • brobostigon just had the vision of AlanBell as a hormonal teenager in ubuntu cap and hoodie.

    <HazRPG> brobostigon: same

    <HazRPG>

    <AlanBell> a whole new category of questions that have not been loaded into the bot as yet

    <TheOpenSourcerer> brobostigon: You are not that far from the truth

    <brobostigon> TheOpenSourcerer: hehe, Smile :)

    <AlanBell> some, all, or none of the questions may have been written by picking random bits out of the book

    <brobostigon> ok,

    <dutchie> ooh, a quiz night

    <TheOpenSourcerer> So when will the quiz take place?

    <dutchie> doodle poll?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Do we want to decide now or ask further afield?

    <AlanBell> I would like to kinda decide now

    <brobostigon> not on a pub night, Sad :(

    <AlanBell> and I think it should be part drinking game too

  • AlanBell checks diary

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [IDEA] Quiz should be part drinking game too

Quiz should be part drinking game too

  • <DJones> Maybe the easter weekend could be a good idea, or Royal wedding weekend, although somewhat far off

    <HazRPG> oh wait, so is this an actual quiz meetup or a bot-based one?

  • brobostigon doesnt like AlanBell's idea.

    <AlanBell> HazRPG: bot based

    <DJones> Both bank holidays so a fair number of people are likely not to be concerned with work the next day

    <AlanBell> drinking isn't compulsory, don't worry

    <HazRPG> heh, would be interesting if we could setup a VoIP or V/VoIP conference up too Smile :)

    <TheOpenSourcerer> You could always pretend too?

  • brobostigon just doesnt like drinking games-

    <AlanBell> HazRPG: it would be a good time to try a mumble server or something

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Hmm, where did that question mark come from?

    <HazRPG> AlanBell: I've setup mumble countless times, so I could assist in that Smile :)

    <brobostigon> HazRPG: interesting idea, Smile :)

    <HazRPG> can even host it on my new VPS I've setup with my new ubuntu server skills (WIP)

    <AlanBell> I think a lot of people go to visit family over easter

    <dutchie> yeah, pub quiz + mumble sounds fun

    <brobostigon> what is mumble,?

    <dutchie> brobostigon: it's like irc for voice chat

    <popey> open source skype

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Thanks brobostigon

    <popey> basically

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I was wondering who'd ask.

    <brobostigon> interesting,

    <TheOpenSourcerer> How long do you think the Quiz would take AlanBell

    <HazRPG> Its a voice service much like TeamSpeak/Ventrilo/Skype

    <brobostigon> flash or something similer needed?

    <HazRPG> brobostigon: nope, but mumble needs to be installed on your machine (in the repo)

    <dutchie> no, it has its own dedicated client

    <AlanBell> TheOpenSourcerer: half an hour to an hour I should think, depends how fast we go through the questions and how many get written

    <brobostigon> HazRPG: ah, i see.

    <AlanBell> we can always go on to the generic linux questions, there are thousands of them

    <AlanBell> so dates

    <AlanBell> week day or weekend?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Not Fridays for me Smile :-)

    <HazRPG> I don't mind helping with setting up mumble, and maybe having like a pre-quiz "get mumble working" thing going

    <brobostigon> TheOpenSourcerer: same here,

    <dutchie> i'm a student, so every day is simultaneously a work day and weekend

    <HazRPG> I'm flexible

    <dutchie> \o/

    <brobostigon> also thursday might be difficult.

    <AlanBell> I see my elves are up to Q29 now

    <DJones> Weekend would suit me better, early starts on weekday mornings mean early to bed

    <HazRPG> as long as I have a day I can write down/save - I'm sorted Smile :)

  • popey suspects Saturday might be best

  • brobostigon would agree with popey

    <HazRPG> Yeah, Saturday probably be best for a lot of people.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> How long away from now then approximately?

    <AlanBell> how about March 19th after lots of rugby?

    <brobostigon> i am open, really.

    <dutchie> march 19th is perfect for me

    <dutchie> i was about to say i was busy both the next two

  • Daviey staggers in late, sorry

    <TheOpenSourcerer> 19th will be bad. Will not be back till late.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> And will be very drunk.

    <HazRPG> Daviey: talking about setting up a quiz night to get rid of some ubuntu swag

    <AlanBell> late is a problem, drunk isn't so much

    <AlanBell> I can't do 26th

    <DJones> Just a thought, IRC rather than voice may make it easier deciding who gets the correct answer first rather than trying to listen to multiple voices shouting an answer

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I can't do the 2nd April.

    <AlanBell> DJones: we have the technology

    <AlanBell> DJones: quizbot in #ubuntu-trivia

    <HazRPG> DJones: voip isn't for the quiz Wink ;)

    <AlanBell> 9th then?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Can I suggest you do a doodle poll AlanBell?

    <HazRPG> DJones: its just so we can have a banter while the quiz is on

    <TheOpenSourcerer> At least we can get some more people to join in as well.

    <DJones> May be worth opening this up to the mailing list as well

    <DJones> (to decide upon the date)

    <AlanBell> yeah, ok, I will do a doodle picking several dates including 9th, 16th April and some others

    <AlanBell> action me up

    <DJones> Sounds a good plan

    <HazRPG> I don't know what you mean by doodle, but we could setup a pad with dates, listed, and people just tally their votes on it

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [ACTION] AlanBell to do a doodle picking several dates including 9th, 16th April and some others

AlanBell to do a doodle picking several dates including 9th, 16th April and some others

  • <AlanBell> HazRPG: don't worry, it will all make sense

    <AlanBell> ok, probably done on the quiz for now then

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Are we done for now on this one?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Thanks for that AlanBell.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Moving on then.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [TOPIC] Any Other Business

Any Other Business

  • <TheOpenSourcerer> Anyone AOB to discuss?

    <HazRPG> Erm...

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Silence is golden as they say ...

  • HazRPG thinks

    <DJones> One thing I thought of that isn't on the schedule, given Daviey's plans on stepping down as UK contact is to consider a replacement

    <DJones> Or pressgang a volunteer, maybe something to take to the next meeting so people can think & Daviey can hopefully list out what the responisbilities are

    <Daviey> DJones, Yes... It;s already scheduled to have closed

    <TheOpenSourcerer> The process is underway I thought.

    <DJones> Daviey: ok, no worries, I hadn't realised

    <Daviey> Whilst I believe AlanBell would make a super replacement, i am somewhat concerned with it being a one horse race.

  • AlanBell is not a horse

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Ha

    <TheOpenSourcerer> His wife would confirm that.

    <AlanBell> just like to be clear on that point you understand

    <AlanBell> OI!!

    <Daviey> AlanBell, don't look so long in the face about it.

    <popey> AlanBell: Nay!

    <brobostigon> lol

    <HazRPG> harsh lol

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I have one for AOB I think...

    <Daviey> So...

    <popey> Daviey: whats the plan then?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Any initial plans/ideas suggestions for the Natty release party?

    <Daviey> TheOpenSourcerer, Hold fire

    <popey> hang on TheOpenSourcerer Smile :)

    <TheOpenSourcerer> OK.

  • brobostigon wont be, but might suggest one in oxford.

    <Daviey> I'd like a vote...

    <popey> 0

    <Daviey> A) Just Declare AlanBell new leader

    <Daviey> Awesome! B) Have an election with AlanBell and "None of the above"

    <Daviey> C) Chase for more potential candidates

    <Daviey> do we have quorum? Smile :)

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I have a question before that. How did you get the role Daviey?

  • popey votes for 2 weeks of C) followed by A) if nobody steps up

    <Daviey> TheOpenSourcerer, vote

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Any other candidates?

    <HazRPG> 2nds popey's notion

  • DJones nominates Phinias/Ferb/Insert Random nick here Smile :)

    <brobostigon> +1 for popey' idea.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Yeah - +1 for popey 's idea

    <popey> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-uk/+poll/teamlead09

    <popey> ^ the vote that happened last time

    <HazRPG> although, I'm fine with AlanBell getting it though Smile :)

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Do we have general agreement on popey 's plan?

    <HazRPG> seems that way

    <brobostigon> +1

    <HazRPG> +1

    <DJones> Being totally honest, I don't see anybody more appropriate to being appointed to the role than AlanBell, unless TheOpenSourcerer decides to stand against him

    <AlanBell> do a vote on it TheOpenSourcerer

    <Daviey> +1

    <popey> for what its worth, thats what we do in other teams / councils / boards in Ubuntu

    <Daviey> There was one other person that expressed an interest some weeks ago

    <Daviey> But can't remember who that was... adn they haven't stepped up

    <popey> hmm, if you make it 2 weeks today for example, then we could end it on the next meeting

    <Daviey> ++1

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I don't feel that there enough of us here to decide on the role itself?

    <popey> TheOpenSourcerer: there is no constitutional setup for the team to determine that Smile :)

    <Daviey> Yeah

    <popey> traditionally the outgoing person set the terms for the next one

    <Daviey> equally, it's always been a point of contention if it is purely PoC or Leader

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Daviey then? Your choice I reckon

    <popey> I'm not saying its right or wrong

    <popey> it just was the way we did it

    <dutchie> do we prehaps need a proper constitution?

    <popey> ideally I'd like a policy set and it be reused

    <HazRPG> agreed

    <Daviey> That sounds like an Action for daubers Smile :)

    <popey> but nothing too onerous

    <AlanBell> fwiw nominations were called for on this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/2011Election

    <HazRPG> personally a proper vote should be done

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [IDEA] popey would ideally like a policy set and it be reused

popey would ideally like a policy set and it be reused

  • <HazRPG> that way, no one can complain if they didn't vote

    <popey> i dont think its unreasonable to extend the call

    <DJones> When did that nominations page get created

    <popey> we could spend the time gettin the word out

    <brobostigon> we need allpossible candiates time to come forward.

    <popey> it should also be detailed what the role entails

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Can we vote on a 2 week notice from today then?

    <AlanBell> DJones: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/2011Election?action=info

    <popey> TheOpenSourcerer: I'm happy to

    <popey> Smile :)

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Do we need to?

    <DJones> So, nearly 3 weeks and only AlanBell has put his name forward

    <brobostigon> +1,

    <HazRPG> ah yes, I remember seeing that in the last meeting

    <Daviey> volunteer for blog post calling for candidates?

    <popey> o/

    <Daviey> awesome Smile :)

    <popey> will write it tonight

    <HazRPG> o/

    <popey> and will post it to mailing list

    <popey> (if you want)

    <DJones> To avoid disputes, probably better to notify the list/irc of a 2 week notice period for the vote

    <TheOpenSourcerer> An Action then.

    <HazRPG> probably best to post on the mailing list Smile :)

    <Daviey> Would 1 week make the process faster?

    <Daviey> Don't wanna just needlessly linger

    <popey> 2 weeks would allow us to pimp it on the podcast Wink ;)

    <Daviey> hah

    <AlanBell> then what, A or B?

    <brobostigon> candiate pimping,

    <brobostigon> hmm.

    <DJones> How is the vote to be carried out? next meeting, poll, Mailing list etc

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Something like this?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Team to call for candidates. Unless anyone else comes in 2 weeks, AlanBell gets it by default?

    <AlanBell> DJones: condorcet

    <DJones> AlanBell: Fair enough

    <popey> everyone in the lp team is eligible

    <popey> and the team gets locked before the vote

    <popey> so people dont join 20 people to vote

    <AlanBell> DJones: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2011-February/028779.html

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Can I suggest an action: "team effort to try and garner some more candidates for two weeks from today?"

    <Daviey> +1

    <TheOpenSourcerer> 17th March closing date.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Midday.

    <popey> yup

    <HazRPG> +1

    <popey> next meeting on 17th at 21:00, to kick off the vote or nominate?

    <Daviey> hmm.. we need a venue for the crowning ceremony... and i need to get the crown cleaned.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Hmm, not that many supporters. Any decenters for that suggestion?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> No?

  • AlanBell is abstaining from decisions about voting procedures

    <TheOpenSourcerer> OK then.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> [ACTION] team effort to try and garner some more candidates for two weeks. Closing date 17th March 12:00

team effort to try and garner some more candidates for two weeks. Closing date 17th March 12:00

  • <HazRPG> sounds good to me

    <popey> yup

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Anything else on this subject?

  • popey is writing a blog post as we speak Smile :)

    <AlanBell> if there should be no other candidates what happens?

    <Daviey> popey, I have a draft, if that helps? Smile :)

  • HazRPG pins medal to popey's chest

    <popey> haha

    <Daviey> AlanBell, I say you just get it....

    <popey> the suggestion was that AlanBell gets it

    <TheOpenSourcerer> AlanBell: I would guess you get the position

    <Daviey> "None of the above" doesn't help

  • popey puts a snooker ball in a sock and goes to give AlanBell it

    <Daviey> .. i suspect most are ambivalent

    <popey> +12

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I think you are right Daviey

    <TheOpenSourcerer> But we should also try to be fair and inclusive.

    <Daviey> Agreed

    <HazRPG> AlanBell should just get it if nothing comes out of the polls/calls to candidates

    <AlanBell> great, I hope there are other candidates actually, the CIVS process is cool for democracy geeks

    <HazRPG> obviously during the next meeting

    <TheOpenSourcerer> You started the "one horse race" discussion in the first place.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> OK - can we move on then?

    <HazRPG> would be cool if I get to experience the CIVS process (pretending to know what that means)

    <HazRPG> TheOpenSourcerer: Sure

    <TheOpenSourcerer> HazRPG: The throw your hat into the proverbial ring.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> OK. Still on AOB then.

  • <AlanBell> http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Any plans/ideas suggestions for the release party?

    <TheOpenSourcerer> It's next month.

    <Daviey> Ooo

    <brobostigon> TheOpenSourcerer: i wont be doing one again, but might do an afternoon, over in oxford.

    <AlanBell> from the plan: "London release party with the Ubuntu release team - Looking for a venue near milbank - John Stevenson @JR0cket"

    <Daviey> I'll be in London o/

    <popey> heh

    <HazRPG> when is it?

    <AlanBell> 28th April I think

    <Daviey> "When it's ready" Smile :)

    <HazRPG> :P

    <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule

    <HazRPG> I would like to do one, but I haven't a clue where to start - and I have a feeling there's not enough interest in cumbria for it

    <TheOpenSourcerer> I didn't have any ideas myself - I just thought I'd ask.

    <HazRPG> but would be nice if we could get one going

    <AlanBell> Daviey: would it be Gerry Carr and team organising it?

    <AlanBell> from the Canonical side

    <Daviey> AlanBell, Suspect not

    <HazRPG> esp since I don't know any venues in Carlisle that would lend us a room to do it

    <brobostigon> HazRPG: i would startwith an email to your local lugs mailing lists.

    <popey> hehe

    <Daviey> AlanBell, I'll dig tomorrow regarding that.

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Want to move on? It doesn't seem to have captured our joint imagination yet.

    <AlanBell> ok great

    <AlanBell> the trouble is we spend weeks checking out venues and organising stuff, then Canonical just do something else

    <HazRPG> brobostigon: Our LUG seems dead Sad :( - been subscribed to it for about 3 weeks and only 1 e-mail has ever come through

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Have we done with AOB then?

    <AlanBell> stuff outside London is in some ways easier as you won't get trumped by Canonical

    <brobostigon> HazRPG: try and bring it alove again, if anything, take control and gets things going again.

    <brobostigon> alive*

  • TheOpenSourcerer likes the sound of alove

    <TheOpenSourcerer> Anyway.
