[17:42:26] <Maaz> superfly: Sure
[17:42:38] <superfly> maiatoday yes
[17:42:59]
[17:43:15] <maiatoday> cool! Thanks that's great now I must just make sure I don't post weird events on the calendar hehe
[17:43:28] <superfly> Maiatoday and drubin's backup and restore did happen, iirc
[17:43:50] <maiatoday> yay we are so efficient, thanks superfly and drubin
[17:44:25] <maiatoday> we didn't discuss the OpenOffice in schools on the mailing list.
[17:44:46] <nlsthzn> ... and now school is closed
[17:45:23] <magespawn> get in for the new year
[17:45:29] <maiatoday> do we need make a note to do something?
[17:45:32] <drubin> smorar: shout if you have any questions
[17:45:41] <smorar> drubin: will do
[17:45:42] <drubin> maiatoday: we should make a note
[17:45:51] <drubin> sorry been a bit distracted adn typing is hard
[17:46:19] <maiatoday> Maaz_: agreed make a discussion on the Mailing list about OpenOffice in schools
[17:46:19] <Maaz> Agreed: make a discussion on the Mailing list about OpenOffice in schools
[17:46:28] <magespawn> may i put something up?
[17:46:39] <maiatoday> go ahead magespawn
[17:47:25] <maiatoday> ok the geeknic happened
[17:47:34] <maiatoday> it was small but fun
[17:47:45] <maiatoday> very relaxing
[17:48:22] <maiatoday> I made the link to the facebook group on ubuntu-za.org so that item is done too
[17:48:24] <nuvolari> great :/ I missed out on the first part of the meeting :P
[17:48:44] <nuvolari> Maaz_: I am Johan Mynhardt
[17:48:44] <Maaz> nuvolari: Sure
[17:48:50] <maiatoday> there will be minutes and archives nuvolari
[17:48:59] <nuvolari> cool thanks maiatoday
[17:49:04] <nlsthzn> nuvolari: welcome :)
[17:49:11] <maiatoday> any comments on fanpage vs group on facebook?
[17:49:28] <nuvolari> nlsthzn: thanks :>
[17:49:36] <nuvolari> I vote for fanpage
[17:49:37] * nlsthzn thinks facebook is evil and wishes diaspora will hurry up!
[17:49:48] <superfly> Maiatoday we raised it previously
[17:49:56] <nuvolari> we do most of the "group" management in other ways
[17:50:00] <maiatoday> yes I am going through the previous minutes
[17:50:30] <DraZoro> I vote for fanpage as well.
[17:50:44] <smorar> I vote for fanpage too
[17:50:52] <superfly> A group doesn't actually work that well, but a fan page is stuck to one particular person, and you have to ask FB to fix it
[17:50:55] <nlsthzn> the minustes seem a bit inconplete (as far as I can see)
[17:51:01] <maiatoday> ok well I am not going to do more facebook maintence than what we currently do, if anyone wants to change this and has experience they are welcome to help out with this
[17:51:05] <nlsthzn> *minutes *incomplete
[17:51:20] <superfly> But yes, a fan page is much better
[17:51:41] <superfly> Maiatoday i can create a page
[17:51:49] <maiatoday> great!
[17:52:07] <maiatoday> Maaz_: Agreed superfly will make a fanpage for ubuntu-za
[17:52:07] <Maaz> Agreed: superfly will make a fanpage for ubuntu-za
[17:52:33] <superfly> (when I have Internet again)
[17:52:39]
[17:52:39] * DraZoro hopes magespawn will re-spawn once again
[17:52:40] <maiatoday> we are having the meeting so I skip over that item
[17:53:03] <maiatoday> Also I did take the cds to Pretoria and Jo'burg and handed them out at the Ubuntu Hour and at Wits
[17:53:14] <magespawn> sorry all i am on gprs in a storm
[17:53:32] <maiatoday> drubin, did we get some cds to cape town?
[17:54:09] * DraZoro should distribute in UNISA as well.
[17:54:41] <drubin> maiatoday: a few not that many
[17:54:47] <nuvolari> oh dear :'( my 1/! key is on its way out
[17:54:48] <maiatoday> drubin can people contact you for cds?
[17:54:51] <drubin> but last one they got 2 boxes
[17:54:58] <drubin> maiatoday: I have a few yes
[17:55:25] <nlsthzn> as an official loco, how many CD's of a release do you (we) get?
[17:55:58] <maiatoday> yikes dunno? drubin ^
[17:56:10] <maiatoday> are we ready to move onto the agend?

[17:56:18] <superfly> Ya
[17:56:21] <DraZoro> Yes
[17:56:23] <nlsthzn> seems so :)
[17:56:38] <maiatoday> we already talked about the backup, is there anything that needs to be added?
[17:57:02] <drubin> nlsthzn: +- 300
[17:57:12] * drubin is really out of it
[17:57:24] <nlsthzn> drubin: thanks (good to know)
[17:57:24] <maiatoday> ok we already talked about the geeknic too :D any comments?
[17:57:47] <maiatoday> next time I'll try to pick a time when there are more people available
[17:57:57] <superfly> :( i couldn't make it
[17:58:18] <maiatoday> next time I'll try to pick a time when there are less bugs bugging people too
[17:58:19] <nlsthzn> what was the main issue, the time or the venue?
[17:58:38] <maiatoday> I think the time, becaue the students had left already
[17:58:47] <superfly> Ya
[17:58:56] <maiatoday> and people were sick
[17:59:23] <nlsthzn> sucks
[17:59:44] <maiatoday> Ok Ubuntu Hour in Durban!!! fantastic
[18:00:02] <nuvolari> :D
[18:00:08] <nlsthzn> congrats on the first one!
[18:00:18] <nlsthzn> lekka by die see
[18:00:20] <nuvolari> whoop! it was fun
[18:00:27] <nuvolari> well, not right by the sea
[18:00:44] <nlsthzn> should have been in the sea :)
[18:00:44] * drubin thinks we should wrap up
[18:00:46] <drubin> considering there aren't any agenda items left
[18:00:46] <maiatoday> it is the last item drubin
[18:00:47] <drubin> woohoo
[18:00:49] <maiatoday> I wanted to say thanks to the ubuntu hour durban people and wrap up
[18:00:49] <drubin> congrsats guys
[18:00:54] <superfly> i saw some activity about it on the list today but didn't have a chance to read - was there feedback?
[18:01:04] <maiatoday> one post
[18:01:14] <nuvolari> and on the mailing list
[18:01:17] <nlsthzn> no pics? :(
[18:01:19] <maiatoday> it would be great to have some pics and a blog post next time too
[18:01:20] <nuvolari> one reply :P
[18:01:34] <nuvolari> no :/ was a bit dark for my flash-less android
[18:01:45] * nlsthzn thinks Durbanites are to laid back to worry about suck things
[18:01:58] <nuvolari> we plan to not have one venue
[18:02:05] <nuvolari> but rather to go places
[18:02:21] <maiatoday> ok anybody who wants to do an Ubuntu Hour just ask us and we;ll help you with getting all the posts in various spots sorted
[18:02:21] <nuvolari> as we're kinda scattered over a large area
[18:02:25]
[18:02:35] <nlsthzn> seems a decent stratagy
[18:02:59] <nuvolari> William shared his apt-mirrors
[18:03:07] <nuvolari> like 60Gb's repos
[18:03:13] <maiatoday> ok I am gonna end the meeting, going going ....
