  <AlanBell> however, the suggestions from the list of the Porterhouse in Covent Garden were liked by Canonical

  <BigRedS> that was the pre-pub bit at BCS?

  <AlanBell> that was indeed the pre-pub bit

  <AlanBell> so we are going straight on with the pub bit now

  <AlanBell> any more to mention on that?

HazRPG to hit up Cumbria LUG about Sci-Fi event and post some details their way.

• <AlanBell> well that would be a bit hard without the details being set first really

  <popey>

  <AlanBell> HazRPG: how is Cumbria LUG?

  <AlanBell> no HazRPG, never mind

  <Biglesp> AlanBell: If HazRPG isn't on, I know that he posted the Sci-fi event on the mailing list, and that Cumbria LUG is restarting to a degree

Poke Biglesp about how they got on at U3.

• <Biglesp> Looks like Cumbria LUG will be split into smaller lugs

  <AlanBell> POKE!!!

  <Biglesp> POKE RECEIVED

  <Biglesp> UCubed was a great success, we had a full day of talks and workshops.

  <Biglesp> Talks ranged from Ubuntu packaging, to video editing, and home servers.

  <Biglesp> The attendees enjoyed the unconference format of the event.

  <Biglesp> Blackpool LUG were there, and they ran a Debian demo area, which proved to be a huge crowd pleaser.

  <Biglesp> A write up can be found here http://ucubed.info/ucubed-2011-report

  <Biglesp> And our pictures can be found here http://www.flickr.com/groups/1687774@N22/

  <Biglesp> The organisers will be meeting soon to review the event and create a lessons learnt document for future events.

  <Biglesp> </copy-paste>

  <AlanBell> excellent

  <AlanBell> that would be a useful document to circulate

  <Biglesp> Put me down for that then mate

  <AlanBell> [action] Biglesp to produce and circulate lessons learned document from U3

• <Biglesp> Probably take a few weeks to get a version to you

  <AlanBell> yeah, no problem

  <AlanBell> ok, moving on?

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] AlanBell Quiz night

AlanBell Quiz night

• <popey> good photos

  <AlanBell> so the quiz night is on Saturday

  <AlanBell> at 21:00 local time

  <AlanBell> the questions are all set and ready

  <AlanBell> they have been prepared by people from all over the world for the UK team

  <popey>

  <AlanBell> it is in the #ubuntu-trivia channel

  <AlanBell> and you can go there now and have a play with the quiz bot

  <AlanBell> the ubuntu questions will be released before the quiz

  <AlanBell> and we will also be using the mumble server so we can laugh at each other

  <popey>

  <popey> win!

  <AlanBell> I will also reset the score table before the quiz so everyone starts from zero

  <AlanBell> but generally there is a running high score, and the observant will notice that I am in the top 10 \o/

  <AlanBell> ok, any questions on the quiz?

  <popey> how will you stop googling?

  <AlanBell> it has cheat protection which stops people putting in multiple answers, can't stop people using google

  <popey> ok

  <AlanBell> however googling is slower than knowing the answer in the first place

  <AlanBell> and they are all on the subject of Ubuntu

  <AlanBell> unless we run out of questions and move to a different category

  <AlanBell> and there will be awesome prizes

  <AlanBell> which are somewhere on my desk I think

  <AlanBell> okies

  <AlanBell> lets leave the british library topic for the moment as Daubers isn't available

  <BigRedS> oooh
