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

<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> [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
