 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> wow pretty bare

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [Progress report] popey to provide sample awesome reapproval page

===  popey to provide sample awesome reapproval page ===
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> well some folk attended the last LoCo council meeting

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there are some awesome reapproval pages, I think it is going to be a tough process, but more on that later

 <'''<<Verbatim(MichealH)>>'''> Im here :P

 <'''<<Verbatim(MichealH)>>'''> I forgot that the meeting was at 8 :P

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> is popey recording this weeks podcast?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> no matter MichealH :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> AlanBell: do you have examples of some pages that you think are really good?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> popey is indeed off podcasting

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> !

 <'''<<Verbatim(MichealH)>>'''> AlanBell: Sorry for arroving late, But I would have remembered If I was thinking today :P

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> brobostigon, have a look at this page! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncilAgenda

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> venuzuela for example

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> MooDoo: onemoment,

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> sorry

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok, i have it,

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> apologies for butting in

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the other action was for me to arrange a workshop, which I kind of did for today, and did a little on it but not very collaboratively

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, so before we go back to reapprovals . . .

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] AlanBell - CD Distribution

==  AlanBell - CD Distribution ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> MooDoo: sorry, i was distscted aswell, mymum is asking me question.s

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so I have a lot of CDs

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> lots and lots

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I want them distributed to useful places

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> yes, definatly.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> trade shows are not what they used to be, there are not linux shows out there

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> !

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> we have a lot of hackerspaces in nottingham, i'd like some for there

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> really, cool

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I tried contacting a bunch of university computing societies, but they either don't  exist or don't reply

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> :(

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I am totally out of the loop in terms of universities in this country

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> i dont know anything either.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> if people want CDs I am more than happy to arrange to meet in London and hand over a big box, or try and figure out some other distribution method

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> MooDoo: how can I get them to you?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> AlanBell, if you have paypal i could make payment to get some shipped up here to notts

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yup, can do

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: maybe something better planned, so we cansee, where cd's are being used directly.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> ie pay you for the postage

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> brobostigon, perhaps a page that shows where they go

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> brobostigon: I did encourage people to put events and CD requirements on http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/2011plan

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> MooDoo: yes, something like that.

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: ok, let melook, good idea.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I wonder if there is a london hackerspace

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> or a linux user group that wants them

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> My IRC client just froze.  Had to re-boot

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I will give a bunch to paula at Fossbox, Alan Cox wants some in Bracknel, Bea wants some for a course up north somewhere

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> museum of computing at Swindon is a possibility for some, that is Diana

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> AlanBell: this ones the first one that comes up on Google, in Shoreditch: http://london.hackspace.org.uk/

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> we have this - http://www.antenna.uk.com/

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> i am not familier any around here, near me.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> nice

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> and lacemarket house - http://www.nostringsattached.biz/index.php

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, well I want them gone, the Irish Loco got rid of theirs before ours even arrived!

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> lots of office sharing and hacker space :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> i'm trying to plan a few ubuntu hours, i should be able to get rid of them there

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I will take a box to London tomorrow and see if I can find that hackerspace

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I would love to do installfests in Universities

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> get students in a room and actually get things done and installed

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> however I have no idea how to make that happen

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> interesting idea.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> big stick and beer....

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> lol

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> every machine you convert to ubuntu take a drink :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> everyone that works take 2

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Ont the list earlier, someone was suggesting that Canonical might be the ones to make 'first contact' Hows about?

 <'''<<Verbatim(daubers)>>'''> Fix a bug, take 3

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> barrydrake, wouldn't it be better for someone in the specific area to contact first?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> then if we need the big guns speak to canonical?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> thoughts?

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> No.  If they don't know you, they don't want to know.  Alumni might get a look in?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> Canonical can sell stuff to university chancellors if they want, I don't care about that

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I'm talking introductions to the IT bod

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> getting a bunch of students enthused about ubuntu isn't a commercial proposition

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: only intellectual.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> Beer and 'buntu sounds good to me :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Getting Ubuntu out there is - in the long term

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> MooDoo: :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> AlanBell - Canonical do 'pro-bono' - look at the support they gave to PC mag

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> no, they do rescuing a PR disaster

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> surely that was nothing but PR?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> they sent jpds out for a morning to fix stuff

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> AlanBell - you're a cynic!

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and right :)

 * '''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>''' is too i think :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the community needs to do different stuff, sometimes in collaboration with Canonical

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> like we did for the ubuntu in business event

 * '''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>''' likes the beer idea, and dissappears for a moment,

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> anyhow we should probably move on from CD distribution  to the reapproval

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> yes, what needs to happen, there alan.?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] AlanBell - Reapproval Application

==  AlanBell - Reapproval Application ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I need to find the tab with the agenda, thats what!

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ReApprovalApplication2011

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and the application

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so we have to make that awesome

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> really awesome

 * '''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>''' reads.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we need to include all the stuff we have done for the last few years

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we need links to articles in the press and blogosphere about what we have been up to

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> are we going to just add everything we find to the pad and then write it up properly later?

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok, let me seewhat i can drag up, i star everything in google reader.

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> can we take the credit for canonical's release dos?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> MooDoo: yes

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> do we have an etherpad for this?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> BigRedS: not much of it

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok, i will lookthrough my rss,

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> BigRedS: that is a really interesting point you raise, and it has been raised before

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> surely they're all members of u-uk? :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> BigRedS, it wouldn't surprise me if lots of them have never heard of us ;)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> well yeah, loads of LoCo team members from the community and Canonical go to them

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> for the last 4 or so I have been coordinating with Canonical about them (to varying degrees of success)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> in terms of selecting a venue, attempting to do a press launch

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> then at least the things about the press launch and stuff should be included

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> ah yeah, there was plans for a business-friendly one this year

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and loads of canonical folk do contribute to the LoCo

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> it seems odd to discount their contributions on the basis that they work for Canonical vs any other company

 * '''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>''' doesnt know,how he can be of use, inall this.

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> the podcast doesn't have a link, maybe it should?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> it should, we need lots of links and especially pictures

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> brobostigon, trawling through mails, planets, blog posts looking for ubuntu -uk events and things we've done over the years.

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> some of us have participated in canonical surveys, does it count?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> not sure about that

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> we manned the stand at the cloudexpo in Barbican

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> that's one for the list then :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> MooDoo: thats one thing i am good at, keeping record of those kinds of things, somehow.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> brobostigon, there you go when the pad us up, add away :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> MooDoo: ok, :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> i'm not sure if there is a generic application template though

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> brunogirin: yeah, that is on the list for sure

||<#FF5555>'' http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/reapproval''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/reapproval

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> a quick way to add stuff would be to go through all monthly pages and select the interesting stuff

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yes, the team reports have useful information on them

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> perhaps i could point people to this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamApprovalGuidelines

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I'm not volunteering - but someone could trawl through the list archive

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> you could indeed

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there is the en_GB translation activity

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and the welsh team

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> let's steal all the ideas from laura's ubuntu ie applcation page, she won' mind ;)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: i would get hold of chris, abour welshteam, i havent been keeping up, recently.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> perhaps we could just set a date of reviewing the pad page to see what we've got and what we need?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> month from today maybe?

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> is there a due date, it all needs tobe done by ?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> next LoCo council meeting is 19th July which is our first opportunity to go for it

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> has to be done this cycle

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok,

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> not too long then.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> wow that's like 21 ish days.....

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yeah

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> best get cracking..

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> i was in the last approval meeting and really felt for the team that was declined renewal

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> so don't want that to happen :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok, let me see, i have bookmarked the pad.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> MooDoo: yeah, it is a distinct possibility

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> czajkowski won't vote for us, don't know if popey will

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so even getting quorum for us is going to be a challenge, much less approval!

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> AlanBell, i would of thought laura would as she's more known for ubuntu ie

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> no

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> popey is a bit bias so he'd have to abstain

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> no?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> dunno, haven't asked him, but anyhow, we don't need to analyse the voting intentions of the panel, we need to do an awesome application

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> yes.

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I hate politics

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> quorum was my point

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> indeed so everybody needs to find something to add to the pad

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> if they can't get enough voters in the meeting it might end up being voted on using the mailing list

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Who represents us at the meeting?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> me and everyone

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I am the point of contact so I have to be there

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> but everyone else can come and support

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I'm in Ireland and connection is via phone dongle and very dodgy.  Will come if able.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I am also going to do a bunch of stats on the ubuntu-uk launchpad team

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> it is one of the biggest teams in the world

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> nice, :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> irc and mailing list stats too

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> both, get alot of activity.

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> we're pretty big on freenode aren't we?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we tend not to use the ubuntu forums specifically to the -uk, but I guess a lot of forums users are from the UK

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> fairly big, yeah

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> i dont know, the forums, always seemed alttle weird,

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we have 3 users more than #london-hack-space so not vast

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there is a UK LoCo forum, but it doesn't really get used

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> some other teams are all about the forum, especially where they have a language to identify with

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we get lost in the Americans :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> and the ozzies and kiwis, etc

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yeah, I just know -nl and -fr use the forums a lot

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, lets carry on with the reapproval discussion later and in the #ubuntu-uk channel

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [topic] books and butties

==  books and butties ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok, i havent been keeping on the ml thread about this,what it it about ?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> meetup at the library for a trip and have a geeknic after i think

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Sorry guys. Gotta go.  Probably not able to connect next meeting.  Will try to be there the one after.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> o/ barrydrake

||<#FF5555>'' http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=156528094418552''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=156528094418552

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> for the facebook folk it would be great if you could attend that and share it

||<#FF5555>'' http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/1032/detail/ is the event on the LoCo directory thing''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/1032/detail/ is the event on the LoCo directory thing

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> feel free to share the facebook thing even if not going

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I am sure facebook would be useful if I knew what I was doing with it

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> there maybe cake, :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there are groups and pages and I don't really understand the difference or whether we should have one

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there is an Ubuntu group with 200 members

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> no idea,either.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> i think it's a good idea, just for the amount of people that use facebook

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> more exposure

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there is an Ubuntu page with 400,000 fans

 <'''<<Verbatim(daubers)>>'''> There will be cake

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> every time I did something with facebook before it wanted me to buy adverts to promote stuff

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> you don't need to do tht to create a page.....but you need 25 likes before you get a vanity url

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> should we do a page then?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> +1 from me, it's not going to hurt and can be removed at a later date if not working.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I only know a few people on facebook

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> the problem is people need to remember to update it :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> yet another thing to update

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> but its a good way to get events out there

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> oh hi popey :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> uupc has a page

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> we just feed it the rss feed from the show

 * '''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>''' didn't know that

||<#FF5555>'' http://www.facebook.com/UbuntuUKPodcast''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> http://www.facebook.com/UbuntuUKPodcast

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> rats beat me to it

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> it doesnt update very regularly

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> i guess it might if we put shows out more regularly

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> we have 600 people who 'like' that page

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> can't see a like button, maybe I already like it

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> nor can I...

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> is there an "unlike" link

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> on the left

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> i am an admin so see different stuff

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> found it

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yes, there is

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> so you already like it

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yes

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> don't like facebook though :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> so are we having one? lol

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so how should I have seen all the stuff on that page?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> something got posted 2 hours ago

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> how do you see that without going and checking the page?

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> it should appear on your facebook feed thing

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> what you see when you're just at facebook.com

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> this is going a bit off topic granted

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> ah yeah. what is on-topic currently?

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> the prospect of a ubuntu-uk facebook page?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> yes

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the british library event and promoting it and other stuff like it on Facebook

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> aha! It should also go on the webpage :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ah, there is a link at the top for recent news, which is different to top news

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> I've heard that facebook pages can be updated by rss

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> only by being asked how to do it, though, so it might not be possible...

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yes21:07 < popey> uupc has a page

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> 21:07 < popey> we just feed it the rss feed from the show

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> can also post other stuff

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> and discuss

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so yes, I think it is probably worth setting up such a page and feeding it the rss from the website, and updating the website

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> and add events

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> you can have multiple admins too

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and it will be there for people who notice stuff on facebook that isn't top news

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> ah yeah

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> and a single point to refer back to when we have to do next time next times re-approval :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> it will become top news if people click like

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> uh no MooDoo  :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> lol

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> the loco council doesnt look at facebook stuff

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> we want single point to be the wiki please

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> and the other advantage is that those who notice can then send stuff to friends and promote the group further

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> i was more thinking about it being reference

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [action] AlanBell to set up a facebook page

||<#FF5555>'' AlanBell to set up a facebook page''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> and link it to the web site's RSS

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yeah that too

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> https://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, any other stuff to discuss?

 * '''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>''' shakes head

 * '''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>''' shakes head, with a maybe.

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> yes: I may go to the desktop summit in Berlin in August: is anybody going?

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> apologies all i have to leave, pregnant wife is a callin......i'll catch up with the logs :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> bye MooDoo o/

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> I think we're mostly at the end anyway :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> ok :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> MooDoo: give her our greetings.

 <'''<<Verbatim(MooDoo)>>'''> will do brobostigon :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> brunogirin: cool, what is that?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I am off to berlin in a week or two I think for an ODF plugfest

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> that's the combined GUADEC + KDE meeting: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3203

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> nice

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, next meeting

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> lets do one a bit sooner and focus on the reapproval stuff

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> sorry, wrong URL: https://desktopsummit.org/

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> we should move fairlyquicker, concerning reapproval.

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> brunogirin: I was beginning to wonder :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brunogirin)>>'''> BigRedS: copy/paste error :-)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> 6th July?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> wednesday

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> looks fine here.

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> I'll have no real idea until the day itself, though :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> 8PM?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> later?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> earlier?

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> same, is ok, here.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok 8 it is then

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> either works for me. I was surprised by this one being not at 9, though

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yeah, we thought we would try it earlier as some people found 9 rather late

 <'''<<Verbatim(BigRedS)>>'''> yeah, I sort-of remembered that after seeing it was going on at 8

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, we can pick a chair on the night, might be me as it is rather focussed on reapproval

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> #endmeeting
