  <barrydrake> here I am!

  <AlanBell> hi barrydrake

  <barrydrake> hi

  <furst-timer> hi

  <AlanBell> hi furst-timer

• AlanBell wonders if popey is here

  <popey> he is

  <brobostigon> ok, i will gtet my bit of the way, i wont be able to attend oggcamp, my eczema is seriously playing up, and have a bad skin infection.

  <AlanBell> brobostigon: oh, sorry to hear that

  <brobostigon> i was hoping it would calm, but it isnt.

  <brobostigon> so, my apolgies.

  <AlanBell> ok, lets start with oggcamp

  <AlanBell> not doing the report and progress items as they seem a bit redundant

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] Popey - OggCamp

Popey - OggCamp

• <popey> Hullo!

  <AlanBell> hullo

  <barrydrake> Hi

  <AlanBell> any stuff we need to know about oggcamp?

  <popey> OggCamp happens this Saturday and Sunday in Farnham, Surrey!

• <popey> http://oggcamp.org/ for details

  <popey> pretty much everything is sorted

  <popey> we have people booked for talks, and will have slots for people to give talks if they want to

  <popey> and will have a live recording of the Ubuntu UK Podcast (and Linux Outlaws)

  <popey> and a raffle! to win a kindle, books, and other cool stuff

  <popey> including some canonical goody bags

  <popey> the event is .. FREE!

  <brobostigon>

  <popey> It's friendly, community run and everyone is welcome

  <popey> I think that's it :

  <AlanBell> yay

  <barrydrake> sounds exciting - wish I could be there

  <AlanBell> ok, that sounds excellent, lets move on

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] AlanBell - LoCo reapproval, are we ready?

AlanBell - LoCo reapproval, are we ready?

• <AlanBell> hmm, well that was the topic last time and we figured we were nearly ready

  <AlanBell> there have been a few minor edits to the page since then, but really more needs doing

  <brobostigon> i had a look at my rss logs, and couldnt really find anything more than we already had.

  <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ReApprovalApplication2011

  <daubers> AlanBell: We'll have loads of piccies/videos and stuff after Oggcamp

  <popey> AlanBell: maybe have an edit session at OggCamp

  <AlanBell> excellent idea, I am planning to do some editing this week on it too

  <AlanBell> I was thinking of doing an ubuntu-uk session at oggcamp

  <daubers> AlanBell: We should try and get as many loco members together there as we can and do a group photo

  <AlanBell> that too!

  <popey> perhaps we could copy/paste it into etherpad and edit simultaneously at oggamp

  <AlanBell> sounds good

  <AlanBell> one thing we need to do is look up the dates of things and sort into years

  <AlanBell> another is to add more pictures

  <popey> that sounds like a collaborative task in a room

  <brobostigon> sounds interesting.

  <AlanBell> ok, I will take that as an action

  <AlanBell> #action AlanBell to do a session at oggcamp on collaborative editing of the reapproval application

  <daubers> AlanBell: We could do a promo video... "Why should you reapprove the UK Loco". We'll have all the gear to do it at oggcamp

  <AlanBell> maybe, sounds like a big edit job though

  <AlanBell> the other thing we need to do is turn up in force next tuesday

  <AlanBell> big flash mob in #ubuntu-meeting

  <daubers> I have some testing time coming up I could use to do it (possibly)

  <barrydrake> sorry - next Tuesday?

  <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda

  <barrydrake> Ah!

  <AlanBell> we are on the LoCo Council meeting agenda for next tuesday

  <popey> *gulp*

  <brobostigon> ok.

  <AlanBell> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/ApprovalApplication2011

  <AlanBell> that is the other team up at the same time

  <brobostigon> exyensive.

  <brobostigon> extensive*

  <AlanBell> yeah

  <AlanBell> so we have a bit of work to do

  <brobostigon> yes.

  <AlanBell> ok, lets move on and close up this meeting then do some poking about with the application

  <brobostigon> ok.

  <AlanBell> [TOPIC] AlanBell - Any Other Business

AlanBell - Any Other Business

• <AlanBell> anyone want to raise anything else?

  <popey> not i

  <brobostigon> neither.

  <barrydrake> Just that I managed to get to the Nottingham LUG last week for the first time, and it's impressive!

  <AlanBell> great

  <daubers> Also! There's some people trying to start a hackspace in Reading

  <AlanBell> Surrey LUG is kind of good, but very inconvenient for me

  <daubers> Anyone who's interested can have a look at http://www.readingmakerspace.co.uk/joomla/

  <AlanBell> nice

  <AlanBell> one suggestion for events that was knocking about was to do a moving monthly pub night

  <brobostigon> yes.

  <daubers> \o/

  <barrydrake> how moving?

  <AlanBell> so we might designate a particular day of the month (like second wendnesday or something) and find a pub in a random city to go to

  <brobostigon>

  <barrydrake> I'll offer Nottingham - how random is that?

  <AlanBell> so London, Reading, Milton Keynes, Oxford, Cambridge, etc

  <AlanBell> Nottingham

  <brobostigon> banbury*

  <barrydrake> It exists

  <AlanBell> so every few months there should be one close enough to go to for most people

  <brobostigon> interesting idea.

  <barrydrake> I like it

  <brobostigon> me too.

  <AlanBell> places reasonably accessible by train and car

  <daubers> Helps if a local person would help to find a place

  <brobostigon> decent beer. is a given,

  <AlanBell> yeah, we have local people everywhere, which is kind of the point of the team

  <barrydrake> We could invite the local LUGF along too

  <daubers> Yup

  <AlanBell> good idea barrydrake

  <brobostigon> LUGF ?

  <popey> typo brobostigon

  <brobostigon> oh.

  <barrydrake> Sorry, LUG

  <brobostigon> yes,sorry.

  <daubers> AlanBell: might even be worth pinging any open source types around (hackspaces etc)

  <AlanBell> so to do that we kind of need to pick a day, and map out a schedule of cities

  <popey> Ubuntu UK Roadshow

  <daubers> AlanBell: First half of the months best

  <AlanBell> daubers: good thinking

  <brobostigon> thursday, is quiz night at my local here, hit several stones at once.

  <barrydrake> Anytime in Auitume through Spring

  <popey> be nice to bill as an Ubuntu Hour

  <popey> so no obligation to stay all night

  <daubers> AlanBell: Also might be best for a friday so people can travel/drink if they want (but other reasons may stop people coming then?)

  <popey> just pop in for an hour

  <popey> I dont think you can set a day that will be great for everyone

  <AlanBell> yeah

  <barrydrake> Friday's fantastic fot me

  <popey> if regions want to set their own and keep it (i.e. month 3 moves to another city, but the city in month 2 want to re-visit again, they can)

  <AlanBell> yup, it is an expandable scheme

  <popey> so could become multiple regular meets

  <AlanBell> the Ubuntu UK happy hour

  <popey> yes!

  <brobostigon>

  <jacobw> it sounds like a great idea

  <popey> i like that a lot

  <barrydrake> Et moi

  <brobostigon> yes.

  <daubers> +1

  <barrydrake> +1

  <AlanBell> ok, lets do that then

  <daubers> \o/

  <barrydrake> Great

  <brobostigon>

  <AlanBell> so we need to make a list of rough locations (to the nearest city) and put them in some kind of order so that it bounces about the country a lot

  <AlanBell> I will have a look through the wordpress plugins and see if there is anything cool to help put it on the website

  <brobostigon>

• <AlanBell> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-maps-route-plugin/screenshots/

  <AlanBell> like that

  <brobostigon> yes.

  <AlanBell> ok, closing up

  <brobostigon> ok.
