21 19:39 < ianto> Oops forgetting stuff as the IRC chair d'oh
22 19:40 < ianto> Regardless, how many of you utilise the ubuntuforums.org forum normally?
23 19:40 < kn100> a lot of the time, the search feature is handy when looking for how to do stuff
24 19:41 < brobostigon> well the forums are there, to discuss anything that could be disccused within ubuntu-cymru, ie anything.
25 19:41 < TonyP> Not much myself, launchpad for me
26 19:42 < ianto> Right, so for example what would you want to be discussed in the forums?
27 19:42 < TonyP> I will monitor our forum though
28 19:42 < brobostigon> ianto: anything, and everything i suspect can be discussed via the forum.
29 19:42 < kn100> i think the forums would be best discussing what is happening within the group

60 19:50 < brobostigon> ok ianto :)
61 19:51 < ianto> [topic] New Website
62 19:51 < MootBot> New Topic: New Website
63 19:51 < ianto> We currently have a server ready for our website
64 19:51 < ianto> http://98.142.208.108
65 19:51 < MootBot> LINK received: http://98.142.208.108
66 19:51 < ianto> It is a VPS however we don't yet have our domain
67 19:52 < ianto> We will obtain this (hopefully) next week at UDS thanks to Jorge
68 19:52 < kn100> ianto are you looking to pay for the domain?
69 19:52 < ianto> kn100: Ubuntu-eu provides it for free
70 19:52 < TonyP> i see it works:)
71 19:52 < ianto> So far the VPS has hardly any web content
72 19:52 < ianto> However what we do have is http://98.142.208.108/planet
73 19:52 < kn100> <html><body><h1>It works!</h1></body></html> epic html code
74 19:52 < ianto> Which will be planet.ubuntu-cym.org
75 19:53 < ianto> Firstly, what platform would you prefer our site to be?
76 19:53 < ianto> i.e. Drupal, Django etc
77 19:53 < ianto> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCreatingWebsite
78 19:53 < ianto> On that site there are examples of which to use :)
79 19:54 < ianto> There are awesome Drupal templates available ;)
80 19:54 < brobostigon> i dont have the design knowledge to suggest anything here.
81 19:54 < kn100> no comment
82 19:54 < ianto> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Templates
83 19:54 < ianto> Examples of some templates available for us to use
84 19:56 < brobostigon> i personally prefer darker themes, easier on my eyes, like brobostigon.wordpress.com
85 19:56 < ianto> I am seeking volunteer website maintainers to help adminstrate the site if they wish
86 19:56 < ianto> And someone to fix brobo & The Planet ;)
87 19:56 < brobostigon> ianto: i can put my name up for that. i have some stuff to learn.
88 19:56 < brobostigon> though*
89 19:57 < kn100> ianto
90 19:57 < kn100> http://laubuntu.axxium.us/
91 19:57 < MootBot> LINK received: http://laubuntu.axxium.us/
92 19:57 < kn100> thats xoops
93 19:57 < kn100> it looks great
94 19:58 < TonyP> i like that too
95 19:58 < ianto> We have to find a trade-off between adminstrative difficulty and prettiness too ;)
96 19:58 < brobostigon> there no point in prettiness if its difficult to look after.
97 19:58 < kn100> yeah
98 19:59 < kn100> wiki is awesome,
99 19:59 < kn100> mediawiki

131 20:04 < kn100> :)
132 20:04 < ianto> Anyway back to the meeting, I enjoy the idea of Drupal as so many other loCos have skinned a template for it already
133 20:04 < The_Toxic_Mite> xD
134 20:04 < kn100> Drupal, an example of it?
135 20:04 < ianto> kn100: www.ubuntu.com ;)
136 20:04 < arthurL> I also favour Drupal
137 20:04 < brobostigon> ianto: ok, i dont know enough about drupal to give an opinion,
138 20:05 < kn100> well ubuntu.com looks awesome, so drupal +1
139 20:05 < ianto> Alright just a little vote to see who likes/is in favour of Drupal, use +1 for yes, 0 for abstain -1 for no
140 20:05 < arthurL> +1

159 20:06 < ianto> Right that is sorted, second point across now, design our own theme or use another LoCo's?
160 20:07 < brobostigon> a drupal theme,
161 20:07 < kn100> ianto it depends, how easy is it to theme it?
162 20:07 < ianto> kn100: I'm not a designer, I can't even use GIMP
163 20:07 < brobostigon> i favour a darker theme,
164 20:07 < ianto> i.e. dunno ^
165 20:07 < TonyP> For speed use another LOCOs and fork it later
166 20:07 < arthurL> +1 for darker theme
167 20:07 < The_Toxic_Mite> How about a coffee-flavoured theme?
168 20:08 < kn100> i can make images, and icons etc etc, but i have no knowledge in theming drupal
169 20:08 < brobostigon> easier on eyes
170 20:08 < The_Toxic_Mite> :P
171 20:08 < ianto> So sticking with the universal Ubuntu theme is bad in your guys opinion?
172 20:08 < ianto> That nearly all sites use?
173 20:08 < ianto> exclusions to kubuntu ofc
174 20:08 < brobostigon> ianto: i dont laways like it,
175 20:08 < The_Toxic_Mite> [vote] Should the universal Ubuntu theme be used for the site?
176 20:08 < MootBot> The_Toxic_Mite, Only the meeting chair can do that
177 20:08 < kn100> universal ubuntu theme in my oppinion is too generic
178 20:08 < The_Toxic_Mite> ok mootbot

200 20:10 < The_Toxic_Mite> Ubuntu colours to be used
201 20:10 < ianto> The two who voted against, why is that?
202 20:10 < The_Toxic_Mite> ianto: Re-start the poll?
203 20:10 < kn100> i find the ubuntu colours too generic
204 20:10 < brobostigon> i prefer darker themes ianto,
205 20:10 < kn100> i think we need something unique
206 20:10 < kn100> ubuntus base, but with a more welsh feel
207 20:11 < brobostigon> kn100: agreed. :)
208 20:11 < The_Toxic_Mite> kn100: good idea...
209 20:11 < TonyP> something Welsh?
210 20:11 < arthurL> We could always tweak it later.
211 20:11 < ianto> kn100: We can achieve that with a standard Ubuntu theme ;)
212 20:11 < kn100> revote then? :)
213 20:11 < ianto> [Vote] Standard Ubuntu Themeset to be used with tweaks?

289 20:20 < ianto> Anything else to add on the website front before we can move on? :)
290 20:20 < arthurL> I have nothing to add.
291 20:20 < brobostigon> same here, nothing
292 20:21 < TonyP> same here
293 20:21 < ianto> That's enouggh for a pass then I guess

295 20:21 < ianto> [topic] Membership
296 20:21 < MootBot> New Topic: Membership
297 20:21 < ianto> Right here is an idea that some locos use including the Catalan one (Catalann folk are like the Welsh of Spain)
298 20:22 < ianto> What we can do is offer rewards to those who are active in the -cym community
299 20:22 < ianto> Posting in the forums, helping users, helping people switch or just help in the mailing lists
300 20:22 < brobostigon> thats a good idea
301 20:22 < ianto> What the rewards (so far) will be is an @ubuntu-cym.org address and their blog to be aggregated to our planet
302 20:23 < arthurL> I can see it now; "You have been attributed 10 leeks"
303 20:23 < kn100> HAHAHAHA
304 20:23 < arthurL> Let's use leeks as a currency
305 20:23 < ianto> arthurL: Good idea ;)
306 20:23 < ianto> Like the coffee beans
307 20:23 < kn100> Thats an awesome idea
308 20:23 < arthurL> =]
309 20:23 < brobostigon> hehe, :)
310 20:24 < TonyP> can i convert my launchpad karma toleeks
311 20:24 < ianto> Of course anyone will be able to be a member and it'll be a lot less informal than official Ubuntu membership
312 20:24 < ianto> s/less/more
313 20:24 < ianto> Never use less and informal at the same time when you mean informal to start with!
314 20:25 < brobostigon> i agree, it a good idea, i like it,
315 20:25 < arthurL> +1
316 20:25 < ianto> Enough info to vote on it or you wanna add more input
317 20:25 < ianto> Or question it?
318 20:25 < kn100> vote i thinks
319 20:25 < arthurL> Looks good enough for a vote to me

339 20:27 < ianto> I'll leave SFD for the forums or discuss it here first?
340 20:27 < ianto> Software Freedom day
341 20:27 < kn100> for the forums
342 20:27 < brobostigon> ianto: what does it involve?
343 20:28 < ianto> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WelshTeam/SoftwareFreedomDay
344 20:28 < brobostigon> ok, i will have a look later, when we are done.
345 20:28 < ianto> brobostigon: It can be anything
346 20:29 < brobostigon> well i have a new chat engine for my website, ipv6 taylorworld.mooo.com/minichat , which a friend designed for me.
347 20:29 < ianto> I'll add that to our forums later then rather than spending many hours planning atm :p
348 20:29 < ianto> Or does anyone want to discuss it now?
349 20:29 < brobostigon> so i can host a freedom chat, untill we find a permenent server
350 20:30 < arthurL> I think it's more suited to the forums
351 20:30 < brobostigon> ok,
352 20:30 < ianto> Or even better a mailing list eh?
353 20:30 < ianto> [topic] List & Site
354 20:30 < MootBot> New Topic: List & Site
355 20:30 < brobostigon> mailing list, :)
356 20:30 < arthurL> Either or
357 20:30 < ianto> Might as well add this taht jcastro & another friend will be setting it all up at UDS
358 20:30 < brobostigon> do we have a mailing list?
359 20:30 < ianto> In a week or two we will have confirmation of it
360 20:31 < TonyP> I like mailing lists myself
361 20:31 < brobostigon> ok, :)
362 20:31 < ianto> It deserved its own litttle topic even if it was just IT IS FINALLY BEINGDONE post ;)
363 20:31 < brobostigon> agreed ianto
364 20:31 < ianto> [Topic] Merchandise
365 20:31 < MootBot> New Topic: Merchandise
366 20:32 < ianto> Right -cym lp members will know that I've been giving out freebies lately
367 20:32 < ianto> Such as case stickers, paper stickers and discs
368 20:32 < ianto> Given out near 100 discs and 40 or so stickers
369 20:32 < ianto> case stickers ^
370 20:32 < brobostigon> wow, :)
371 20:33 < arthurL> Golly, didn't think you'd give that much out
372 20:33 < ianto> But I've been emailing trademarks@canonical.com and they have permitted us to have -cym exclusive merchandise too
373 20:33 < TonyP> great
374 20:33 < ianto> I've been speaking to a local t-shirt manufacturer right here in this village and we can get t-shirts for £6
375 20:33 < ianto> And special mp3 hoodies too ;)
376 20:33 < brobostigon> ianto: thats good news, i rememer you telling me about that afew weeks ago,
377 20:33 < ianto> Unsure of the hoody cost atm
378 20:33 < arthurL> Wych!
379 20:34 < brobostigon> ubuntu-cym collar pins?
380 20:34 < ianto> In reality the cost of the T-shirt is £5 but as long as you guys agree, we can keep a log of purchases (exlcuding names and addresses) and use that extra £1 to -cym related stuff
381 20:34 < ianto> and keeping a log of purchases too
382 20:34 < ianto> i.e. VPS bills
383 20:35 < brobostigon> ianto: like a donation?
384 20:35 < ianto> Or renting a place for vfenues
385 20:35 < arthurL> Me likes
386 20:35 < ianto> brobostigon: Donation where you recieve a product too :)
387 20:35 < arthurL> It's more like a tax
388 20:35 < brobostigon> ianto: yep, :)
389 20:35 < ianto> Yeah UAT
390 20:35 < ianto> Ubuntu Added Tax
391 20:35 < arthurL> Lawld
392 20:35 < brobostigon> ucat, ubuntu-cym added tax
393 20:36 < ianto> Of course some people may see this as a bad move
394 20:36 < ianto> So I'd like to see what you guys think ;-)
395 20:36 < brobostigon> ianto: agreed, some might,
396 20:36 < brobostigon> i think it is a good idea,
397 20:36 < arthurL> ++;
398 20:37 * brobostigon bangs his head on the table, at seeing what his mum just put on the tv, :(
399 20:37 < ianto> Of course we can't all do this with one man, too much chance of corruption ;). We will need a treasurer too
400 20:37 < ianto> Or secretary
401 20:37 < brobostigon> thats definatly a good idea.
402 20:38 < arthurL> Agreed.
403 20:38 < brobostigon> and freely published
404 20:38 < arthurL> It *must* be someone who we can trust
405 20:38 < arthurL> and it *must* be transparent
406 20:38 < ianto> It *can't* be me ;)
407 20:38 < kn100> i will be the treasurer :p
408 20:38 < brobostigon> that makes sense ianto
409 20:38 < kn100> ;)
410 20:38 < ianto> kn100: Heh slow down you've only been here two days ;)
411 20:39 < arthurL> We could do a vote for the treasurer like we did for the POC
412 20:39 < kn100> i dont want to be the treasurer mate, i was being sarcastic
413 20:39 < TonyP> good idea
414 20:39 < ianto> Yeah that's a possibility but it has to be someone _reliable_
415 20:39 < arthurL> And good with money
416 20:40 < brobostigon> i will not put myself down for that job.
417 20:40 < ianto> That rules out half of the team then ;)
418 20:40 -!- Irssi: #ubuntu-cym: Total of 17 nicks [0 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 17 normal]
419 20:41 < ianto> Is there anyone who'd like to volunteer however?
420 20:41 < arthurL> Yo.
421 20:41 < kn100> ianto i think you are best for the job
422 20:41 < ianto> kn100: Can't ;)
423 20:42 < kn100> cant?
424 20:42 < kn100> or wont
425 20:42 < kn100> :)
426 20:42 < ianto> Admittedly I know the person doing the job personally but I am already PoC so I can't be treasurer too
427 20:42 < arthurL> Division of labour and all that
428 20:43 < ianto> So arthurL has volunteered as a possible person? :)
429 20:43 < arthurL> Yeah.
430 20:43 < brobostigon> i will not volunteer
431 20:44 < ianto> First though we need ot confirm that we think it's a good idea before getting a person to do it ;)
432 20:44 < brobostigon> its a good idea.
433 20:44 < ianto> [vote] Have -cym branded merchandise with a treasurer to handle monies?

462 20:47 < ianto> kn100: They haven't replied in 2months
463 20:47 < ianto> Gawd people hate me ;)
464 20:47 < ianto> First off they rejected the mail as a virus since I emailed with a PGP signature
465 20:47 < ianto> One of the good points of my mail ^
466 20:47 < arthurL> Hurr, they kind of deserve their computer systems to get raped.
467 20:47 < kn100> oh man... they rejected a pgp signature

476 20:49 < kn100> thanks :)
477 20:49 < kn100> its Purisa with a little modification
478 20:49 < arthurL> I have also toyed with the idea of a dragon in the middle of the logo too but I couldn't get it to work. You've pulled it off well.
479 20:49 < kn100> thanks :)
480 20:50 < arthurL> Try a daffodil :P
