 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> brobostigon: oh, sorry to hear that

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> i was hoping it would calm, but it isnt.

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> so, my apolgies.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, lets start with oggcamp

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] Popey - OggCamp

==  Popey - OggCamp ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> Hullo!

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> hullo

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Hi

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> any stuff we need to know about oggcamp?

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> OggCamp happens this Saturday and Sunday in Farnham, Surrey!

||<#FF5555>'' http://oggcamp.org/ for details''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> http://oggcamp.org/ for details

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> pretty much everything is sorted

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> and a raffle! to win a kindle, books, and other cool stuff :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> including some canonical goody bags

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> the event is .. FREE!

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> I think that's it :

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> sounds exciting - wish I could be there

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, that sounds excellent, lets move on

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] AlanBell - LoCo reapproval, are we ready?

==  AlanBell - LoCo reapproval, are we ready? ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> hmm, well that was the topic last time and we figured we were nearly ready

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

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

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> AlanBell: maybe have an edit session at OggCamp :D

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I was thinking of doing an ubuntu-uk session at oggcamp

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

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

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

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> another is to add more pictures

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> that sounds like a collaborative task in a room

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, I will take that as an action

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(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 :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> maybe, sounds like a big edit job though

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> big flash mob in #ubuntu-meeting

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> sorry - next Tuesday?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Ah!

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> we are on the LoCo Council meeting agenda for next tuesday

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> *gulp*

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/ApprovalApplication2011

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> that is the other team up at the same time

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> extensive*

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so we have a bit of work to do

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

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] AlanBell - Any Other Business

==  AlanBell - Any Other Business ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> anyone want to raise anything else?

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> not i

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> neither.

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> great

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> Surrey LUG is kind of good, but very inconvenient for me

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

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

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(daubers)>>'''> \o/

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> how moving?

 <'''<<Verbatim(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

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so London, Reading, Milton Keynes, Oxford, Cambridge, etc

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> Nottingham

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> banbury*

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> It exists

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I like it

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> me too.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> places reasonably accessible by train and car

 <'''<<Verbatim(daubers)>>'''> Helps if a local person would help to find a place

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> decent beer. is a given, :)

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> We could invite the local LUGF along too

 <'''<<Verbatim(daubers)>>'''> Yup

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> good idea barrydrake

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> LUGF ?

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> typo brobostigon

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Sorry, LUG

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

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> Ubuntu UK Roadshow :D

 <'''<<Verbatim(daubers)>>'''> AlanBell: First half of the months best

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> daubers: good thinking :)

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Anytime in Auitume through Spring

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> be nice to bill as an Ubuntu Hour

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> so no obligation to stay all night

 <'''<<Verbatim(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?)

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> just pop in for an hour

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Friday's fantastic fot me

 <'''<<Verbatim(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)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yup, it is an expandable scheme

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> so could become multiple regular meets

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the Ubuntu UK happy hour

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(jacobw)>>'''> it sounds like a great idea

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> i like that a lot

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Et moi

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

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

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, lets do that then

 <'''<<Verbatim(daubers)>>'''> \o/

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Great

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

 <'''<<Verbatim(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

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

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

||<#FF5555>'' http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-maps-route-plugin/screenshots/''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-maps-route-plugin/screenshots/

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> like that :)

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