YukiCussflint, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda ?05:04
flintSeveas, thanks.05:04
Seveasflint, you need to be a member before you can become a MOTU - for membership a cheerleading squad from the community is needed05:05
flintYukiCuss, thanks even more :^)05:05
Seveasfor becoming motu you need other motus to vouch for you05:05
flintSeveas, I represent the cheerleading squad.  I am not interested in being a member of anything.05:05
Seveasflint, ok, put on your dress and start dancing around 05:06

Seveasdid I miss anything?05:15
Amaranthi don't think so05:15
mdzflint: I've been up since 0600, but damn you anyway05:15
YukiCussWe've had our first meeting (just today), and we've got a roadmap organised (more or less) for how we're going to tackle various projects around here.05:15
sabdflSeveas: just getting started05:15
Seveasthanks05:15
sabdflYukiCuss: where's here?05:15
YukiCusssabdfl, here is Australia. :)05:15
jsgotangcothat's a big place05:15
jsgotangcoheh05:15
YukiCussWe've got members all along the east coast so far.05:15
YukiCussAnd we're hoping that we can find some more elsewhere.05:16
elmo(Kamion is on his way)05:16
SeveasYukiCuss, cool, what are you focussing on as team?05:16
sabdflYukiCuss: nice wiki page, wide spread of members across the country05:16
sabdflYukiCuss: are you all setup w.r.t. virtual server if you want it?05:16
YukiCussSeveas, at the moment we're looking at the three major groups; home users, business, and school.05:16
Kamionhi, sorry I'm late, was picking the child up from school and had to run an errand in the meantime05:16
YukiCusssabdfl, yep, we've got that pretty much organised, just letting the delay of email take its toll :)05:16
sabdflKamion: no worries, mate05:17
sabdflg'day05:17
sabdflok, YukiCuss, are you the group leader, have you had any process to confirm that internally?05:17
Kamionsigh05:17
YukiCussParticularly we're inspecting schools; demonstrations of how Ubuntu can be used inside a school, and also FOSS.05:17
YukiCusssabdfl, I am the group leader, and it's been confirmed that I'm the team contact at a meeting.05:18
YukiCussWe had our first one today, it worked out well. :)05:18
SeveasYukiCuss, do you promote edubuntu too?05:18
ograYukiCuss, you should get in contact with the edubuntu community :)05:18
sabdflit's nice for the CC to have a primary contact for a loco team - so that's great05:18
sabdflanything you'd like from the CC?05:18

YukiCusssabdfl, at the moment, we're hoping that we can get some form of priority with ShipIt; we'd like to be able to get Dapper out here as quickly as we can, before the rush.05:19
sabdfljerome, you suggesting we have sufficient sheep?05:19
YukiCuss(rush of downloads begins, that is; I think the convenience of a real CD will overwhelm them :))05:19
YukiCussOther than that, we're going to keep self-regulating (meeting every fortnight has been agreed on and seems to be convenient), and see how we can let our projects take off.05:20
sabdflYukiCuss: local production an distribution depends on having a company locally that can do it well at great prices, if you have nominations, the right person to ping is hmb05:20
sabdflon freenode05:20
sabdflhande@canonical.com05:20
YukiCussThanks!05:20
sabdflYukiCuss: we've yet to find a regional company that can do it cost effectively, but would love to get it working well05:21
YukiCusssabdfl, we've got a few people who are very interested in doing local mailouts.05:21
SeveasYukiCuss, local mailouts rock05:21
sabdflwe can probably do high priority shipment after release if you have a specific function or requirement05:21
Seveasit's quite popular here in NL too05:22
sabdflanyway, thank you for checking in, and thanks for setting up the team05:22

Seveas"#ubuntu-women on Freenode - officially recognised or not."05:23
sabdflsvaksha: would you introduce Ubuntu Women, please?05:23
Seveasis there such a thing as an official channel?05:24
svakshasure, 05:24
svakshawell I dont about the official bit ...05:24
sabdflsvaksha pinged me earlier by email05:25
svakshaUbuntu Women is a group functioning under Ubuntu to provide a platform and encouragement for women to contribute to Ubuntu-Linux Membership is open to all.05:25
sabdflasking about official recognition of UbuntuWomen by Canonical, and I think recognition by the CC is more important05:25
svakshathe non-official part i heard from another forums member Susana05:25
svakshaok05:25
sabdflsvaksha: are there several different groups that are related to "women in ubuntu", or is your group the primary initiative?05:26
SeveasI realy don't like to see women as a separate group, sounds very sexist - but I'm probably missing something 05:26
elmoSeveas: you are missing something05:27
jsgotangcoSeveas: we'll do ubuntu-blokes don't worry05:27
elmoSeveas: you should probably review the history of debian women05:27
=== soumyadip [n=soumyadi@59.93.241.33] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
elmoSeveas: that deeply flawed argument has come up before05:27
sabdfli tihnk it's very worthwhile to have a group focused on this05:27
svakshaafter I wrote to you last year , panickthumb from the forums mentiioned about this and I asked him to contact you or canonical directly 05:28
Seveaselmo, ok05:28
sabdflas long as we never have folks suggesting that the ONLY place for women in ubuntu is that group05:28

highvoltagei've been on the debian-women mailing list before, i've never seen so many "*hugs*" on a list before :)05:28
sabdflare there any other comments on the idea of having a group focused on "women in ubuntu"?05:28
svakshasabdfl, i dont know what happened after that but I noticed a URL registered in Dec and in Jan got your OK05:28
ograhighvoltage, you dont share a list with dholbach, do you ? 05:28
ogra:)05:29
sabdflthere is some concern that different groups are trying to achieve the same thing05:29
highvoltageogra: yep :) debian-women have mor!05:29
sabdfli would like to make sure everyone is talking together05:29
jsgotangcosabdfl: the u-w list has been pretty active (im subscribed)05:29
jsgotangcothere's lots of promise05:29
sabdfljsgotangco: me too :-)05:29
jsgotangcohah05:29
Seveas<highvoltage> i've been on the debian-women mailing list before, i've never seen so many "*hugs*" on a list before <-- sounds like a list for dholbach05:30
sabdflsvaksha: can we consolidate the different domains that have been registered by different people?05:30
sabdfland make sure everyone's working on the same initiative?05:30
sabdflare there any reasons why that should not happen?05:30
highvoltagei think that ubuntu-women might be a good idea, not as a feminist activist group, or as a group for just women, but as a forum to discuss the general involvement of women in the project05:30
svakshano05:30
G0SUBthe issue is that there are a lot of unofficial UW sites / blogs / wikis ... we should try and get them together to avoid redundancy05:31
highvoltageand to monitor current community activities and evaluate how we can involve the other half of the world population in ubuntu05:31
sabdflsvaksha: so have you chatted with susana, and you're certain that she's happy to work with you?05:31
Seveashighvoltage, agreed, as long as it's NEVER going to be women-welcom-only or women-only-welcome-there which is what I'm a bit afraid of05:31
sabdflSeveas: we will make certain of that, yes05:31
highvoltageSeveas: agreed, I would think that 'they' feel the same05:31
svakshai did ask her to bring up the issue on the list 05:31
ograSeveas, highvoltage i think thats up to the team to define itself ;)05:31

svakshaits not women only ...please read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWomen05:32
sabdfli'm pretty certain mako would be thrilled with this :-)05:32
Seveasdo I dare ask why?05:32
highvoltageogra: also agreed, it was just my attempt to explain that a group about women in Ubuntu may add value05:32
sabdflvery nicely done wiki page, svaksha05:32
SpecHow many members are on the u-w list?05:32
svakshathanks05:32
svakshaaround 70+05:33
KamionI like how that page lists technical skills first05:33
svakshayes but that scares away newcomers so Clytie toned it down a little05:33
Seveasthe wikipage looks very nice indeed 05:33
Kamiona lot of women's-groups pages I've seen have almost seemed embarrassed at the idea that technical skills might be involved, which always seemed incongruous to me - I like what you have there05:33
Kamionoh, is that Clytie Siddall (spelling?)05:34

=== ogra cheers for Spec
Specvery very successful, gave out 1300 ubuntu cds05:44
spaceythats quite a lot05:44
Spec(+1300 opensuse, but that doesn't matter)05:44
SeveasWOW05:44
kjcoleNick and I represented the LoCo at FOSE, and it was a great show.05:44
SpecWe were very popular at the convention.05:44
Kamionthat MondoMindi page is pretty hideously hackish; can we please get the existing packages up to scratch instead?05:44
SpecBeing next to the bathrooms has it's advantages, i'll have to say...05:44
Seveas(I need some point of reference - how big is the DC area, how many people live there?)05:44
sabdfl+1 from me on Spec for membership based on advocacy and bug triage, not sure if elmo or kamion have additional questions05:45
SpecKamion: I believe in dapper they are up to scratch, in breezy it's a lost cause.05:45
kjcoleWe also had the trifold Ubuntu brochures that I picked up at UBZ and handed those out as well.05:45
=== atoponce [n=aaron@c-24-2-85-66.hsd1.ut.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
Kamionah, I see that in the wiki page now, although it's kind of brief and easy to skip over, maybe a bit more text is called for so that people don't go to more work than necessary05:45
Kamionfair enough05:45
kjcole(Unfortunately, I didn't have quite as many of those brochures.  And I now wish I'd had bumper stickers as well.)05:45
elmoyeah, kamion++, that wiki page is making me cry05:46
flintKamion, I am responsible for the hackishness of these pages, not nick.05:46
jsgotangcokjcole: wink and you shall receive (hopefully)05:46
SpecI'll edit flint's work to make it prettier :)05:46
elmoif the "Not needed for >= Dapper" bit at the top could be highlighted, that owuld be good05:46
elmobut in any event ack from me05:46
Kamionother than that, no questions, the other work seems good, and I probably need to have a look over the bcm43xx page myself ...05:46
kjcolejsgotangco, Yeah.  My fault.  I should have thought about those sooner.05:46
Kamionso +1 from me05:47
SpecKamion: It's pretty good, but there's lots of guess-work to get it working still. I think that's the driver's fault.05:47
sabdflso +1 from Kamion?05:47

Seveasand neither is Kuyaedz05:51

KuyaedzJust got out of class :)  ..glad someone came looking for me, I didn't know when this was.05:53
jelknerok if i steal Spec so i can get some work outta him?05:53

Seveassabdfl, after Kuyaedz' topics have been handled 05:53
Specthank you all :p05:53
jelknercya all later05:53
SeveasKuyaedz, please introduce Ubuntu-Utah to us05:53
sabdflcheers spec, jelkner05:54
KuyaedzUbuntu-Utah is a loco team I started a few months ago.  We've steadily been growing but are still relatively small.05:54
Seveashow many members?05:55
Kuyaedz11 members registered on the launchpad page, but I know of ~4-5 more that aren't 'official' yet.05:55
Seveasaround 10 - not too bad05:55
KuyaedzWe've got members at 3 Utah Universities, which I think is helpful.05:56
Seveasnot bad, 10 active members is good for a starting team05:56
KuyaedzWe've set a goal to double that by Dapper release.05:56
SeveasWhat is the team doing to promote Ubuntu besides handing out CD's?05:57
sabdflKuyaedz: how active are you in the forums?05:57
KuyaedzWell the CD distribution and team recruitment are the short-term goals that we're currently working on.  In the long term we would like to present school districts with Ubuntu/Edubuntu.05:58
Kuyaedzsadbfl: I have roughly 750 forum posts.05:58
SeveasKuyaedz, nice05:58
ograyeah !05:59
SeveasI'm quite happy with how the Utah team is forming the way I see now05:59
sabdflKuyaedz: have you seen the proposals about a forums council?05:59
SeveasKuyaedz, is there a specifi reason to use ubuntu-utah.org instead of ut.ubuntu-us.org?05:59
KuyaedzSeveas: I'm glad to hear that.  I have the day off today & was hoping to get more team-related work done.05:59
Kuyaedzsadbfl: I have not.05:59
KuyaedzSeveas: There is not.  I did not know who to contact concerning an official team site so I registered one.  Also we have requested an official mailing list 3x with no responses.06:00
KamionKuyaedz: was that request to jdub?06:00
SeveasKuyaedz, I was going to ask what you would like to see from the CC, but that's clear now 06:00
sabdflKuyaedz: np, i appreciate your initiative in going ahead06:01
G0SUBIMHO the mailing list creation is a bit of a bottleneck as jdub is a very busy guy06:01
sabdflG0SUB: would it help if we put mailing lists into LP?06:01
KuyaedzWe've been using a google-groups system for the time being.06:01
SeveasWho is the contact for *.ubuntu-us.org, smurf or someone else?06:01
G0SUBsabdfl: yes it will06:01
sabdflG0SUB: i think you mean "yes it might" ;-)06:01
Seveassabdfl, or simply give jdub an assistant06:01
G0SUBsabdfl: heh ...06:01
G0SUBSeveas: ++06:02

jsgotangcoheh06:02

G0SUBsabdfl: should I mail him directly?06:03
SeveasG0SUB, put my name in that mail to - I want to help there if possible06:03
G0SUBsabdfl: fine, I will CC you 06:03
G0SUBthanks :)06:03
KuyaedzSeveas: I was wondering if it would be possible to get a layout template so our team site could nearly match the look/feel of the central.06:04
sabdflKuyaedz: i think that's all public06:04
SeveasKuyaedz, as you can see the organizational things are sometimes problematic - but it'll be solved soon I guess. I will keep poking jdub/g0sub and smurf about it06:04
KuyaedzSeveas: thank you06:05
Amaranthwhen did launchpad turn into sourceforge?06:05
G0SUBoh, one more thing ... can we put up the moinmoin, drupal themes used in u.c & fridge somewhere?06:05
SeveasKuyaedz, I have a PHP based template for ubuntulinux.nl - you might want to look at that after the meeting, but poke me after the meeting for that06:05
G0SUBso that people can reuse them?06:05
