 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Are we supposed to have a vote on Daviey's replacement, or was that last meeting which I may have missed

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> hmm

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> AlanBell / Daviey poke

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> erm, if I recall... this meeting was to confirm it

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> we were giving people chance to at least pick someone

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> sort of an extended chance... since no one else came forward (and still haven't iirc, but links are failing me at this moment in time)

 <'''<<Verbatim(ZoeR)>>'''> Hullo

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> ok, well if neither Daviey nor AlanBell are around we'll have to defer it

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> anyway...

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> [TOPIC] next team leader

==  next team leader ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> (as part of the actions from last time)

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-uk/2011-February/028779.html was the original mail from Dave stepping down

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> ]https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/2011Election has only Alan Bell on it

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> safe to assume Alan Bell wins

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> well, we decided on the following last time...

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> two weeks of more potential candidates followed by declaring AlanBell the leader if nobody else steps up

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> we have done the first part so it's really a formality to announce the latter

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> agreed?

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Agreed

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> win

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> agreed

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> I'll take an action to announce that tonight after the meeting

 <'''<<Verbatim(dutchie)>>'''> ooh, a  meeting

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> [PROGRESS REPORT] People who have achieved something in march, please place it in the report.

===  People who have achieved something in march, please place it in the report. ===
 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> hi dutchie

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> dutchie: you always seem to do that :P

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/11/March

 <'''<<Verbatim(dutchie)>>'''> HazRPG: it is due to my high degree of organisation

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> dutchie: also, oh hi :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> so that's basically it :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Podcast only since last meeting then

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> yeah, just added that

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> Sorry I'm late!

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> I haven't had chance to write up my notes yet, so likewise some video-casts haven't been made yet

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> congrats on the new season

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> no gneel

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> thanks

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> [TOPIC] Any other business

==  Any other business ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> right, we have ~50 mins to kill :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> open house

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> but I'll be working on it at some point

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> DJones, gneel: \o

 * '''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>''' turns up

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> Congratulations AlanBell :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yay

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> thanks

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> AlanBell: Congrats dude :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> ah you beat me to it popey :P

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> COngrats, well deserved

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> indeed, don't know a better man for the job :)

 * '''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>''' is quite pleased

 * '''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>''' quietly says speech to AlanBell - but is unsure if this is the appropriate place for it

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> heh

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I would just like to thank my agent, my mum, my chickens . . .

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> If there is a speech,ds to fill the remaining 45 minutes of the meeting slot :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> s/ds/it needs

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> That's an impressive typo

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> I do have something to ask, but ... speech first :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> BigRedS: indeed!

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> BigRedS: sticky keyboard

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> won't ask ...

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> DJones: I'll ask no questions! :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there will be no speech, move on!

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> ah okay

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> Release party/ies?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I spoke to marianna from Canonical about the London party

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> she was going to run some ideas past Jane Silber

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I will find out what happened with that

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> erm... iirc, there was mention of how elections are done, memory is foggy - but I think something about posting somewhere about it (like a formal rule set) to be sort of devised

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> however I could just be making this up in my mind :S

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> that was an action for daubers

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> HazRPG: we usually use CIVS

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> but on this occasion only one person volunteered and it was decided he was more than capable

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> ah, ok

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> [ACTION] Alan Bell to liase with Canonical to organise one of the Natty release parties

||<#FF5555>'' Alan Bell to liase with Canonical to organise one of the Natty release parties''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> yeah I figured that this election was fair since Alan was the only one to come forward

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> HazRPG: Usually, if only one person stands, questions are asked about the nomination process :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> I'm not suggesting this is applicable here

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> It was a self-nomination process, and only Alan stepped forward

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we will just write up what happens with a little flowchart or something

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> but there's probably something suboptimal somewhere if only one person steps forwards

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> Or everyone else stepped back quickly!

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> AlanBell: sounds good

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> BigRedS: the sub-optimal part was when we didn't know quite what to do next

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and as you shouldn't really make up election processes as you go along we will just document those kind of eventualities and it is all cool

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> AlanBell: well, if too few people have the time/inclination to fulfil the role, should it be filled by one person?

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> [ACTION] Alan Bell to begin implementation of process to find his successor

||<#FF5555>'' Alan Bell to begin implementation of process to find his successor''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> heh

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> :P

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> still trying to make some sense out of my local LUG to try and see if we can get an ubuntu release shin-dig going

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> or anything...

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> still no joy

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> seems some people have corrugated onto facebook, and just seems to be a stream of info but no real communication going on... and seems no one knows what exactly is happening

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> your lug is a facebook group?

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> and I'm not sure if I'm up to being a leader of any type

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> BigRedS: seems that way :/

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> which LUG?

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> how times change...

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> Cumbrian LUG

||<#FF5555>'' http://www.cumbria.lug.org.uk/''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> http://www.cumbria.lug.org.uk/

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> ahh

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> schwuk lug

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> I'm on the mailing list, but not much happens

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> heh, yeah apparently one of my friends is on a course with schwuk

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> all my knowledge is about him, he's on a course with my friend Lunchie doing the HND I previously did... and seems to be the head guy on the facebook group

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> and works for Canonical (I think?)

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> he does

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> ok

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> anything else that needs discussing?

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> don't laugh, but an idea I had floating around was to see if I could try and get in contact with Stephen Fry, see if he would be willing to come to Carlisle for an ubuntu-uk release and see if we could do something fancy...

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> or anywhere in Cumbria... that's sort of central to Cumbrians

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> good luck :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> see if I can get a linux user base going

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> popey: I know it sounds out there, but it could happen

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> Not the worst idea I've heard

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> don't ask, don't get - sort of scenario

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> ok, so

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

==  Date of next meeting ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> 2 weeks?

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> seems people have stuff on today...

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> we didnt send a reminder

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> 2 weeks sounds good to me

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> Ah, paddy's day

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> ah, of course heh

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> 31/3

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> Not a Tuesday is my preference

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> 2 weeks is good

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> 31st sounds ideal

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> yeah, lets roll with that

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> [ACTION] next meeting 31/3 at 21:00

||<#FF5555>'' next meeting 31/3 at 21:00''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> Thursdays are good for me

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> sounds good

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> chair?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> HazRPG:

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> wait, what...

 * '''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>''' freezes up

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> well volunteered!

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> HazRPG: I think you mentioned watching a meeting then possibly running one...

 <'''<<Verbatim(gneel)>>'''> :-)

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> erm... okay... sure... gotta start somehow right?

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> great!

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> HazRPG: Its not that difficult, mostly copy & paste & keeping things moving

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> thank you!

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> "<HazRPG> I might do the one after that :)"

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> The log never lies.

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> heh, I know what I said :P

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> [ACTION] HazRPG to chair

||<#FF5555>'' HazRPG to chair''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> I thought there was going to be more interaction in this one to learn more - but still cool with it either way :) *steps forward*

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> guessing the meeting start # (but other way round) is how one kicks the whole thing off correct?

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> HazRPG: If you want to test out beforehand, I'm sure there'll be somebody around to practise

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> ah, I'm sure it'll be fine :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(DJones)>>'''> HazRPG: http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/Mootbot-UKHowTo

 <'''<<Verbatim(HazRPG)>>'''> DJones: winner :)
