Announcements

<UndiFineD> so any announcements ?

<cassidyjames> None from me.

<barrydrake> Nor me

<UndiFineD> no ?

<UndiFineD> I thought cassidyjames was going to ramble about his cr-48

<UndiFineD> heh ok then

<barrydrake> Well, all I have to say is up on the Wiki

<UndiFineD>

Leader for sponsorship

<UndiFineD> Leader for sponsorship ? I think we have to skip this one

<barrydrake> Definitely not me

Next meeting

<UndiFineD> Next meeting

<UndiFineD> is 1st of january ok ?

<barrydrake> Jan 1???? All of us with hangovers?

<UndiFineD> yup

<barrydrake> UUrgh

<UndiFineD> I must say, I already have one that day

<UndiFineD> so I might not be there with full attention

<UndiFineD> unless times differ

<barrydrake> As always, I won't be doing 'late'

<UndiFineD> i know barry

<UndiFineD> cassidyjames, can you set up doodle for that weekend ?

<UndiFineD> no .. ok I wil

<UndiFineD> [action] Keimpe set up a doodle for around 1st of january

<UndiFineD> Ok next

House style

<UndiFineD> we now have a Logo, which we need to transform into a housestyle for formal outgoing letters

<UndiFineD> as cassidyjames won, he should point out what to think of regarding the logo

<UndiFineD> and what colors / styles

<barrydrake> Could Cassidyjames do a letterhead? He has a very good visual ability.

<UndiFineD> [action] cassidyjames create pointers for a housestyle and/or make one himself

<barrydrake> Is he listening?

<UndiFineD> i do not knw

<UndiFineD> Ok next point

Rewrite the guidelines

<UndiFineD> Rewrite the guidelines

<UndiFineD> we need to know what we can and cannot do

<barrydrake> They seem 90% OK .... I'll take a look if you want.

<UndiFineD> and who is willing to put some time in this

<barrydrake> Me I guess

<UndiFineD> well, spelling errors are not nice

<barrydrake> Hmmm

<UndiFineD> :P

<UndiFineD> it is a visible document, which should sell ourselves too

<UndiFineD> I do not want this to be a halfbaked one

<UndiFineD> so barrydrake you are willing to look at it and do some rewriting ?

<barrydrake> Hows about I write it - you put it on a Wiki page or give me one as a sandbox and let everyone look at it?

<UndiFineD> yes, wiki / etherpad is very good for this

<barrydrake> OK. Will do. Tell me where to put it and I'll do it.

<UndiFineD> I would be happy to have a look too it as well

<barrydrake> OK

<barrydrake> Hey - is this meeting just you and me?

<UndiFineD> [action] barrydrake reviews guidelines, UndiFineD will do so too

<UndiFineD> looks like it :P

<barrydrake> IS ANYONE OUT THERE?

<UndiFineD> makes it fast though

<barrydrake> yEAH

Promotion

<UndiFineD> Promotion:

<barrydrake> Some of the stuff already in the ads. Wiki could go out there?

<UndiFineD> I would like us to make online and physical promotion, suggesting twitter and facebook, but this is not my expertise

<UndiFineD> next to that I propose flyers and supermarket ads

<barrydrake> Nor mine, but I suppose I could try .... never really taken to twitter or facebook

<barrydrake> Now, I could offer something there I think

<UndiFineD> On the ubuntu-uk mailinglist I saw some good suggestions from Jacob Mansfields and Paula Gazz

<barrydrake> I agree ....

<UndiFineD> if they are not already with us, I would like to invite them

<barrydrake> Maybe they'd .... oh, I think I remember Paula saying she had no time, but let's try anyhow.

<UndiFineD> yup

<UndiFineD> so that are things that can be done ...

<barrydrake> I'll post a wording for flyers etc. that can be discussed and maybe used. I'm not so good at visual though.

<UndiFineD> we have graphics people, they should aid in this

<barrydrake> GRReat

<barrydrake> I think we've already done the 'invite people' thingy?

<UndiFineD> [action] graphics people help in creating flyer / supermarket ad

<UndiFineD> think paper sizes, graphics etc

<UndiFineD> [action] UndiFineD invite Jacob and Paula

<barrydrake> Hang on - [action] Barry work on flyers etc

<UndiFineD> next

Visiting the school in gloucestershire

<UndiFineD> Visiting the school in gloucestershire

<UndiFineD> there are a lot of students

<barrydrake> OK students

<UndiFineD> we could handout cds with ubuntu (studio)

<UndiFineD> get the young invloved helps a lot for the future

<barrydrake> Absolutely - also chance to interact with potential users and get their angle.

<barrydrake> I think good demos (live) to a captive argumentative audience will be a good opportunity and it will work for them too!

<UndiFineD> so I can only hope people are willing to order some locally ...

<UndiFineD> How to get their students involved ?

<UndiFineD> well yes a demo or good (not boring), presentation would help

<barrydrake> Now, the downside. What can't Ubuntu do for them? They are arts students. What are the (system ex) apps that they are using?

<UndiFineD> that we do not know

<barrydrake> We need to find out first

<UndiFineD> the visit is intended for us to have a look around and get to know some and make an inventory

<barrydrake> Wonderful! Can I come?

<UndiFineD> yes contact danté for it

<barrydrake> As soon as he gets back

<UndiFineD> ok, so this seems clear to me

Taglines

<UndiFineD> Taglines:

<UndiFineD> we need more

<barrydrake> There are several potentially good ones on the ad wiki

<barrydrake> But I'll write more if you want

<UndiFineD> where do you get the imagination :P

<UndiFineD> thanks though!

<barrydrake> When you get really really old, it's a gift you get ....

Scripts

<UndiFineD> Scripts: I hoped to make a selection of good versus bad, but I do not dare to do so now

<UndiFineD> and discuss them a bit

<barrydrake> slightly unwise in the present circumstances. Let's use the list .... OR how about one of those voting thingys?

<UndiFineD> I am sure they did

any other business

<UndiFineD> so any other business ?

<barrydrake> Well, not from me. I've been regularly posting every single thought on the list as it happens. How about you?

<UndiFineD> nothing for me

<barrydrake> OK

<UndiFineD> just want to remind people, there is enough to do, so if you are bored, come around I am here all the time

<UndiFineD> one last poke around:

<barrydrake> Can we conclude with a post to the list of the URL for tonight (quickly) and ask folk to comment on list?

<UndiFineD> Agafonov, Darael, Ddorda, JamesMR, MichealH, popey

<Ddorda> ‎?

<UndiFineD> assuming people now know where to find us

<barrydrake> Well Undi .... thanks for an interesting one-to-one

<UndiFineD> thanks barrydrake, at least we get some things done

<barrydrake> Post the new meeting point again on the list before the next meeting

<UndiFineD> I will

<MichealH> UndiFineD: Hi
