ryanakcaReady for the meeting?06:57
gnomefreakyeah i think so07:02
=== jrib [n=jasonr@upstream/dev/jrib] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ryanakcahmm... agenda https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NUNAgenda07:03
ryanakcashall we start by picking the launchpad logo or ?07:04
=== gnomefreak cant bring up a site atm i have 3 uploads and 2 downloads going right now
=== hybrid [n=x@easyubuntu/supporter/hybrid] has joined #ubuntu-meeting
ryanakcaok, keep it for the end then?07:05
gnomefreakno im ok07:05
gnomefreakjust gonna be slow07:05
gnomefreakok im there07:06
=== gnomefreak has already downloaded them anyway ;)
ryanakca;)07:06
gnomefreaki like the first one for LP07:06
gnomefreakwith the hand shake07:06
ryanakcayeah07:06
ryanakcasame here07:06
jribthat's my vote too07:07
ryanakcaand for the official logo, the one with the bigger heart...07:07
gnomefreakagreed07:07
jribyep, big heart looks better than the small one07:07
ryanakcahybrid: agenda https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NUNAgenda07:07
jribwhat's wrong with using the handshake for the official one though?07:08
ryanakcaSo, I presume we've picked our two logos, lp = handshake, official logo (which could go onto our wiki) has the big heart?07:08
ryanakcajrib: well, does PWil have a biger version of it?07:08
gnomefreakjrib: i like the idea but i dont have a mock up of what it will look like big07:09
ryanakcaif he does, I'm all for using it... if it still looks nice when it's big07:09
ryanakcaThat way people don07:09
ryanakcadon't get confused...07:09
gnomefreaklet me see if i cant comeup with something on it please continue with meeting ill ping when done07:10
ryanakcakk07:11
ryanakcaHmm... Shall we restart advertising classroom and NUN?07:11
ryanakcanixternal had been advertising a lot, and we had great attendance during the courses, but then the advertising stopped and our attendance started to drop...07:12
jribwhere/how did we advertise before?07:13
gnomefreakwe need to work backwards in agenda07:13
ryanakcahttp://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/08/08/204221307:14
gnomefreakletws find out where we are going what classes to hold before advertising ;)07:14
gnomefreak-w07:14
ryanakcalol07:15
ryanakcagood idea07:15
ryanakcaWhere is the NUN going... do we keep having classes? should we recruit some people to bring it back to life?07:16
ryanakcaWhat are our goals for the future in other words...07:16
gnomefreakits a bit fuzzy :( i have to figure out how to clean it up07:17
gnomefreakryanakca: we need to hold classes we can teach instead of having anyone come in and teach since we saw how that went07:17
ryanakcayeah07:18
jribalso do we want to repeat classes or come up with new ones?07:18
ryanakcapeople not mailing in their course descriptions/notes, not showing up, etc07:18
gnomefreakrecrute people to bring it back to life? whats wrong with you and hybrid?07:18
gnomefreakthere were alot of canceled classes last round07:18
ryanakcayeah07:19
ryanakcaand a couple where I was scrambling to write up a class because someone told us at the last minute that they hadn't prepared anything and couldn't show up... even thought that's partially my fault for not bugging them enough ahead of time...07:20
=== gnomefreak needs to get through january before i can do much of anything
ryanakcawell, make it more lively, get more members, so that we can better coordinate things...07:21
gnomefreakryanakca: more members? half the members we have now have done nothing07:21
gnomefreakwe really need to go through the members list so we know who we can call on when something is needed07:22
ryanakcathere's lots of people in #ubuntu and #kubuntu who meet the requirements, and might be interested in helping out /actively/07:22
ryanakcayeah07:22
ryanakcaThere are 47 direct members of the "New User Network" team, and 47 people are members in total, directly and indirectly through other team memberships.07:23
ryanakcahow many of those 47 actually do something, I'm not sure07:23
gnomefreakgetting there07:24
jribok, I don't see anything wrong with recruiting some people to help out07:24
ryanakcahttps://launchpad.net/~newusernetwork   if you need the link instead of going threw people manually07:24
ryanakcathrew launchpad**07:24
gnomefreaki got it just really slow07:24
ryanakcajrib: maybe add something to the "HowtoHelpOut" page (I think that's what it was called...)07:25
gnomefreakmost of these people on here are devels and may not have alot of time07:26
gnomefreakatleast the people i know off hand07:26
ryanakcaAnd maybe get something added something to that newletter/magazine that they have weekly (or biweekly, or whenever it was, haven't read it in a while..)07:26
ryanakcayeah07:27
ryanakcaWeekly News07:27
ryanakcathat's it...07:27
ryanakcagnomefreak: yeah07:28
gnomefreakwhy not make project groups?07:28
gnomefreakthat way there is a weekly news group07:29
ryanakcahmm... like a group for classroom, maybe a group for the mailing list type class with the doc team..., etc? all under the NUN07:29
gnomefreakyes07:29
ryanakcaa weekly news group?07:29
gnomefreakforget the avbove07:29
gnomefreakbut yes something like that07:29
gnomefreakthat way we know the classes will be covered the docs will be written07:29
ryanakcakk07:30
gnomefreakatleast try it and at that point we will know where people stand07:30
ryanakcasounds good, but we would need to get some people... at the moment, it looks like we have 5-6 active people, if that...07:30
gnomefreaki see 3 ;)07:31
gnomefreak4 with hybrid07:31
gnomefreakbut i agree07:31
ryanakcaso we've agreed on getting some more people involved...07:32
ryanakcahow is the question... Weekly News / HowToHelpOut?07:33
gnomefreakyeah07:33
ryanakcakk07:33
gnomefreaki like idea of howtohelpout wiki07:33
jribryanakca: you mean a weekly news for NUN?07:33
ryanakcaI think there already is one...07:33
ryanakcajrib: no...07:33
gnomefreakor change the one we have to fit it07:33
ryanakcajrib: just a sec, I'll get you the link to it07:34
gnomefreaki think he means marketing teams newsletter07:34
ryanakcait's managed by the marketting team07:34
ryanakcayeah07:34
jriboh I know about ubuntu weekly news.  So we just want to be mentioned in there then?07:34
ryanakcahttp://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/70507:34
ryanakcayeah07:34
gnomefreakbtw i need someone on edgy to test opera 9.10 (i have a .deb if needed)07:34
ryanakcaAnybody who wants to join, please contact ________ or join #ubuntu-nun07:35
gnomefreakthat should be easy enough07:35
gnomefreakto get into there07:35
jribyeah, sounds good07:35
ryanakcagnomefreak: I can, later on... Tuesday, or later on tonight...07:35
ryanakcathis isn't the page I'm talking about, but it's simmilar.. http://www.ubuntu.com/community/participate07:36
gnomefreakwonders if we can be mentioned on that link07:38
ryanakcahttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu07:38
gnomefreakunder support07:38
ryanakcayeah07:39
ryanakcahopefully, can't see why not...07:39
ryanakcahmm... we're already under contributetoubuntu...07:39
gnomefreakthe doc guy i would know to ask is gonna be offline for a while07:39
ryanakcakk07:40
gnomefreakryanakca: i think it would be helpful for a howtocontribute to nun not just under ubuntu07:40
ryanakcayeah07:40
gnomefreakbtw the .deb will be up here sometime today http://www.youmortals.com/ubuntu/packages/07:41
gnomefreaksorry doing like 30 things07:41
ryanakcanp07:41
ryanakcaok07:41
ryanakcaour class topics have run out. What do we do? loop? think up some more subjects? scrap it?07:42
gnomefreakok we just have to figure out how to get all this done. i asked pwill to fix the icon if he can07:42
ryanakcaWhat about asking a Team to give a Marketing Speech on how to get involved every other weekend (where there isn't a course)?   What about making it a great big Ubuntu School, geared towards all users in all ubuntu subjects, (like merge with motu-school, etc), or have teams give courses (instead of or as well of a Marketing Speech)?07:42
gnomefreakryanakca: lets give us a time period to come up with classes (as a group in -nun maybe)07:43
ryanakcakk07:43
gnomefreakis motu school still holding classes?07:43
ryanakcaerm, LaserJock was interested in holding some in combination with Classroom, iirc07:44
ryanakcabut #ubuntu-motu-school currently has 3 people...07:44
gnomefreakif we can combine them i say go for it that way we have all classes that can be held07:45
ryanakcaok07:45
gnomefreakjust for classes07:45
ryanakcaWhat about making it a great big Ubuntu School, geared towards all users in all ubuntu subjects, (like merge with motu-school, etc), or have teams give courses (instead of or as well of a Marketing Speech)?07:45
jribif we do that, we should classify classes.  Like "beginner", or "advanced"07:45
gnomefreakryanakca: 2 people votes may nto be good enough on these things07:45
gnomefreakjrib: agreed07:45
ryanakcaLike doc could give a course on writing proper documentation, QA could give a course on bug reporting and triaging (crimsun suggested that)..07:46
ryanakcajrib: yeah07:46
gnomefreakryanakca: merge the classes with motu as jrib said as beginner/advanced so on07:46
ryanakcajrib: well, with the past courses, we started simple and moved up to more complicated07:46
ryanakcagnomefreak: yeah, and especially not with MOTU...07:47
ryanakcawe need to get in touch with them...07:47
=== gnomefreak brb have to grab lunch continue
ryanakcakk07:47
ryanakcaSo should we think of having a big Ubuntu School, for all ubuntu subjects... NUN stuff, documentation writing, Bug reporting, packaging, translating, artwork, etc?07:49
ryanakcaor just keep it to NUN stuff or NUN/MOTU stuff?07:49
gnomefreakall stuff or make nun as beginner07:51
gnomefreakand motu as advanced (give them the kernel classes packaging (unless you want to hol dpackaging 10107:51
jribyeah, I'd like one central places that manages the classes and makes sure there is an easy way to check for *any* class.  But, it does kind of remove the focus from classes for beginners and people starting out07:52
gnomefreakdidnt see anything for lunch that caught my eye :(07:52
gnomefreakwho is head of motu school?07:53
ryanakcajrib: well, we could have beginner (NUN material) one weekend, and then MOTU/other stuff the other, and alternate07:53
ryanakcaerm, dunno, lemme check07:53
jribryanakca: I like that07:53
gnomefreakonly problem there is motu classes are held on fridays and nun on weekends07:54
gnomefreakproblem on handshake icon (big) noone made an svn for it07:54
ryanakcagnomefreak: well, most people are at school/work on fridays, so maybe, if they're willing, move it to weekend?07:55
ryanakcaI'm guessing dholbach, based on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/Requests07:55
gnomefreakif they are willing07:55
gnomefreakcool07:55
gnomefreakhes easy enough to get in otuch with07:55
ryanakcayeah07:56
gnomefreakok still working on handshake icon pwill has a svn of one not really the same though07:56
gnomefreakopera is up on link finnaly07:58
ryanakcagnomefreak: /usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/emblems/emblem-handshake.svg ... It isn't bad... wouldn't be bad for launchpad and official wiki if we vote on it...07:58
gnomefreakfinally07:58
ryanakcas/official wiki/nun wiki07:58
gnomefreaki dont like the circle i like the ubuntu symbol more so07:59
ryanakcakk07:59
=== gnomefreak never saw that before
ryanakcasame08:00
jribyeah I like the handshake inside the ubuntu logo too08:01
gnomefreaknext on agenda?08:01
ryanakca#08:01
ryanakcaWhat about a mailing list type course, where every week, we send out an email with a link to a piece of documentation that would interest and affect a large portion of users, 5-10-20 questions based on it, and the answers to the previous week's questions. Also, they mail the list any questions they have on the course material (NOT everyday questions, they can go to kubuntu-users, ubuntu-users, etc, for those).08:01
gnomefreakuploding googleearth and im done uploading except maybe the logo08:02
ryanakcaThe doc team  would get their documentation reviewed by many people at the same time too...08:02
gnomefreaksame class as we held that weekend?08:03
gnomefreaklike take the transcripts email them out with official docs on it?08:03
ryanakcanot necessarily08:04
ryanakcaJust any new doc from the doc team08:04
gnomefreakexample?08:04
ryanakcathat way people know about what the doc team is producing at the same time...08:04
ryanakcaerm...08:04
gnomefreakok i think i got it08:04
ryanakcakk08:05
gnomefreakwe can try it no harm in that08:06
ryanakcanope08:06
ryanakcawe just need to either a) make a new mailing list, or b) get people to subscribe to the NUN mailing list08:06
gnomefreaki would like more input from others on that one.08:10
ryanakcakk08:11
gnomefreakmaybe either attach what we decide here to ML or hold another meeting with the postponed things?08:11
ryanakcaAnd we pretty much have to restart advertising, right?08:11
ryanakcayeah08:11
gnomefreakyes08:12
ryanakcaWell, I sent an email to the ML a while back, never got a reply, I'm assuming it's dormant...08:12
ryanakcaso probably hold another meeting...08:12
gnomefreaki read it ;)08:12
