| kn100 | Kevin Norman, from Ubuntu Cym | 19:03 |
| * YoBoY is from the french Loco team, have made the last bug jam in paris, planning to do bug jam and doc jam for the global jam | 19:03 | |
| jono | wow, folks from California, Berlin, Vancouver, Wales, Ireland, Florida, DC, Pennyslvania, Chicaco, Columbia, North Carolina, Chile, South Africa, French :-) | 19:03 |
| GidgetKitchen | Mark Terranova California LoCo & GidgetKitchen | 19:04 |
| jono | thats awesome! | 19:04 |
| jono | thanks everyone for joining us | 19:04 |
| kn100 | that's ubuntu :) | 19:04 |
| magespawn | Greg Eames South Africa LoCo | 19:04 |
| jono | so, I just want to start with the problem | 19:04 |
| * jcastro is from ubuntu-us-michigan - hi everyone! | 19:04 | |
| kn100 | what a great time for a netsplit eh | 19:04 |
| travmon | oh forgot i in New Brunswick Canada | 19:04 |
| dholbach | . o O { speaking of problems... netsplit :-) } | 19:04 |
| jono | ok | 19:04 |
| jono | :) | 19:04 |
| * andol is from the Swedish LoCo, and plans to use this Jam as a kickoff for some local bug triage work | 19:05 | |
| jono | so lets start with the problem... | 19:05 |
| jono | ...https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam/Events | 19:05 |
| jono | not enough events :) | 19:05 |
| jono | I am really keen to see what we can do to encourage more LoCo teams to take part in the Ubuntu Global Jam | 19:05 |
| kn100 | oh god.. this is gonna be a fun meeting | 19:05 |
| jono | heh | 19:05 |
| YoBoY | ho, haven't marked my team yet ^^" | 19:05 |
| andresmujica1 | oeee la ola!!! | 19:06 |
| jono | ok :) | 19:06 |
| rrnwexec | Ubuntu Vancouver is planning a bug jam, possibly more. Will update the page. | 19:06 |
| jono | cool :) | 19:06 |
| kn100 | ubuntu-cym is taking part | 19:07 |
| Mean-Machine | eveninkz | 19:07 |
| pleia2 | Pennsylvania will be adding ours once we get formal confirmation of our location | 19:07 |
| jono | I am really keen to see how we can encourage better awareness of the event and get people involved | 19:07 |
| pleia2 | (we're doing a Mythbuntu Installfest/Jam) | 19:07 |
| natewiebe13 | im from london ontario (not on a team.. just watching for fun :)) | 19:07 |
| czajkowski | I think a good idea would be to get LoCo's to sign up to the page, small things like venue can be worked out late | 19:08 |
| jono | so it sees the first goal could be to encourage teams from California, Berlin, Vancouver, Wales, Ireland, Florida, DC, Pennyslvania, Chicaco, Columbia, North Carolina, Chile, South Africa and France to get involved with events :-) | 19:08 |
| jono | czajkowski, entirely afree :) | 19:08 |
| czajkowski | if they are stuck for help on how to run one we can help on the mailing list or in -locoteams. | 19:08 |
| nixternal | jono: nhandler, j1mc, and myself will hammer out a few events when we can all get together | 19:09 |
| jono | czajkowski, yeah, we should encourage Q+A in #ubuntu-locoteams more | 19:09 |
| jono | nixternal, awesome, can you add something to the page | 19:09 |
| nixternal | will do, and it is Chicago, not Chicaco :p | 19:09 |
| czajkowski | So we are using DIt, and I've yet to confirm it, it;s a minor issue. others I'm sure are in similar boats re venue, so it's not a big deal and not somthing to get bogged down over | 19:09 |
| * dholbach hugs nixternal | 19:09 | |
| jono | as boredandblogging pointed out on the list, I think it is important to note that you don't have to do everything at an event | 19:09 |
| * nixternal hugs dholbach | 19:09 | |
| * Mean-Machine hugs czajkowski | 19:09 | |
| czajkowski | jono: aye Q&A in -locoteams channel would be great as it means people are more inclined to ask questions in there sometimes, as mailing lists tend to be noisey | 19:10 |
| Mean-Machine | czajkowski <- ubuntu-ie event organizer :D | 19:10 |
| jono | maybe a Q+A session every two weeks could be useful with some identified people answering the questions | 19:10 |
| jono | ? | 19:10 |
| rrnwexec | in Vancouver, we are considering a Translation Jam as well, since we have a very diverse population | 19:10 |
| dholbach | I have a question which is a bit of a follow-up from the post I did on loco-contacts@l.u.c today... Who did NOT mail out the news about the Ubuntu Global Jam to lots of mailing lists / forums / magazines / etc. of their country team? | 19:10 |
| pleia2 | a formal Q&A in #ubuntu-classroom (where other classes are held and promoted) would be welcome too, just like with the GlobalBugJams | 19:10 |
| czajkowski | for those running their first bugjam, don't worry about doing all of the tasks, take one perhaps and work on that, would be my suggestion. | 19:11 |
| jono | dholbach, good question | 19:11 |
| Mean-Machine | linux format is quite keen on printing planned linux related events | 19:11 |
| * dholbach is guilty... I could have definitely mailed a few more folks about the global jam | 19:12 | |
| * dholbach adds it to his TODO list | 19:12 | |
| akgraner | we have a venue in NC.. now it's just coming up with a schedule of events and getting folks to come.. | 19:12 |
| jono | ok, would someone be happy to organize Q+A sessions in #ubuntu-locoteams? | 19:12 |
| jcastro | I think it would help for those of us in teams that are pending to still add themselves to the list and put "pending" or something | 19:12 |
| YoBoY | hi huats ;) | 19:13 |
| boredandblogging | think partly we just need to keep the conversation about it going | 19:13 |
| czajkowski | boredandblogging: aye indeed | 19:13 |
| jono | boredandblogging, agreed | 19:13 |
| boredandblogging | we really haven't blogged about it | 19:13 |
| boredandblogging | not as much anyway | 19:13 |
| jono | who here has a blog? | 19:13 |
| jono | o/ | 19:13 |
| huats | hey YoBoY ! | 19:13 |
| akgraner | o/ | 19:13 |
| czajkowski | which is kinda why I suggested #ubuntu-locoteams as peope are in there and could benefit from chit chatting | 19:13 |
| kn100 | o/ | 19:13 |
| boredandblogging | haha | 19:13 |
| ianto | zo | 19:13 |
| hollman | o/ | 19:13 |
| maco | o/ | 19:13 |
| ianto | \o | 19:13 |
| kn100 | ianto had to be different :P | 19:13 |
| jono | \o/ :-) | 19:13 |
| jono | would you all be happy to write up a blog entry about it? | 19:13 |
| dholbach | jcastro and nixternal have a blog too! | 19:13 |
| markjones_ | i must admit, i've not heard much about GlobalJam until I spoke to ianto | 19:14 |
| itnet7 | o/ | 19:14 |
| rafael_carreras | o/ | 19:14 |
| nixternal | heh, my blog has been a bit stale...nobody likes me anymore so they don't read it :) | 19:14 |
| * jono smacks nixternal | 19:14 | |
| kn100 | same issue as markjones_ here, but i'd be happy to write a blog entry, it gets 800-900 views a day so :) | 19:14 |
| * huats likes nixternal... | 19:14 | |
| jono | kn100, perfect! | 19:14 |
| jcastro | we could also mentioin it during developer week since that's coming up and will attract a bunch of people | 19:14 |
| jono | ok, so can we each agree to write up a blog entry? | 19:14 |
| maco | aye | 19:14 |
| markjones_ | yeah, jono: is it worth twittering about GlobalJam? | 19:15 |
| czajkowski | agreed | 19:15 |
| nixternal | jono: lets not all write them at the same time | 19:15 |
| GidgetKitchen | I will unstale our blog & write about it | 19:15 |
| kn100 | jono: what should we write? | 19:15 |
| ianto | Yeha of course, I first need to migrate my blod however... | 19:15 |
| magespawn | one from all the loco teams? | 19:15 |
| huats | jono: we will write at least a blog entry on the french loco one... | 19:15 |
| jono | markjones_, absolutely! | 19:15 |
| hollman | yeah | 19:15 |
| huats | :) | 19:15 |
| nixternal | one or 2 a day would be good, depending on the planet traffic | 19:15 |
| jono | kn100, mainly write about what it is, when it is happening and link to the wiki pages | 19:15 |
| jono | huats, awesome! | 19:15 |
| ianto | kn100: Cough, mention it on any techy mailing list you are on ;) | 19:15 |
| kn100 | i am not on one mailing list :P | 19:16 |
| jono | I would recommend that everyone writes it today, but maybe schedule it to be published at a different time | 19:16 |
| * nixternal seriously needs a whiteboard | 19:16 | |
| kn100 | i hate mailing lists | 19:16 |
| boredandblogging | can we possibly get other linux sites to talk about it? like lwn.net? | 19:16 |
| jono | then they appear at different times | 19:16 |
| markjones_ | has anybody sent an email to all the Linux User Groups> | 19:16 |
| jono | boredandblogging, that would be really cool :) | 19:16 |
| jcastro | yeah someone needs to submit it to lwn | 19:16 |
| GidgetKitchen | partnering with local LUGs is another good way | 19:16 |
| jono | What would be cool is to have a retweeting campaign | 19:16 |
| GidgetKitchen | identica cough | 19:16 |
| jono | I will tweet it now | 19:17 |
| andresmujica1 | If each LoCO Team post a note on their website/homepage it would be great, too! | 19:17 |
| rrnwexec | and a re-denting | 19:17 |
| huats | GidgetKitchen: that is what we too in France... coordination with LUGS | 19:17 |
| jcastro | we need a button for the localteam websites | 19:17 |
| jcastro | like we did for developer week | 19:17 |
| ianto | Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Linux.com have some sort of blogging platform for members? | 19:17 |
| maco | yes | 19:17 |
| andresmujica1 | jcastro: Exactly!! | 19:17 |
| ianto | Some entries on there wouldn't go amiss :) | 19:17 |
| andresmujica1 | ianto: that's true | 19:17 |
| jono | ok sent | 19:17 |
| huats | jcastro: that is a goof idea... but please bear in mind the i18n... | 19:18 |
| jono | ok, I am keen to get some of these ideas assigned to folks | 19:18 |
| Mean-Machine | notify LXF podcast? it's getting very popular now | 19:18 |
| jono | so, firstly, who is volunteering to write a blog entry about it? | 19:18 |
| Mean-Machine | 'tux radar' | 19:18 |
| mhall119|work | boredandblogging: when's the next Ubuntu podcast? | 19:18 |
| kn100 | i will :) | 19:18 |
| ianto | \o | 19:18 |
| huats | jono: I can... | 19:18 |
| maco | o/ | 19:19 |

| czajkowski | I shall also | 19:19 |
| kn100 | although we will need to schedule them to go out on different days | 19:19 |
| hollman | o/ | 19:19 |
| czajkowski | we'll also get one on the loco site | 19:19 |
| === Xpistos|lunch is now known as Xpistos|work | ||
| jono | ok | 19:19 |
| itnet7 | o/ | 19:19 |
| jono | lets schedule these | 19:19 |
| jono | one sec | 19:20 |
| jono | let me just note these down and then paste | 19:20 |
| ianto | Can we bring up the topic of venues later on in the meeting? | 19:21 |

| maco | a schedule? oh my | 19:22 |
| kn100 | perfect | 19:22 |
| GidgetKitchen | blog when? | 19:22 |
| jono | I really recommend you write it today and then schedule it to be posted at a different date | 19:22 |
| jono | many blogging tools allow you to do that | 19:22 |
| hollman | ok | 19:22 |
| jono | ok, we had the idea of a Q+A session scheduled about the Ubuntu Global Jam every two weeks | 19:22 |
| jono | who would like to coordinate this? | 19:22 |
| jcastro | I can do one | 19:23 |
| kn100 | what would be involved | 19:23 |
| jono | this will involve setting up the event on the fridge and ensuring some loco leaders are there to answer questions and then promote the meetings | 19:23 |
| jono | thanks jcastro | 19:23 |
| jcastro | though this is like my 5th one so any help with these would be appreciated. :D | 19:23 |
| jono | :) | 19:23 |
| jono | jcastro, will rock the house :) | 19:23 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: want a hand ? | 19:23 |
| jcastro | sure! | 19:24 |
| boredandblogging | jcastro: can help as well | 19:24 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: grand shall poke you afterwards | 19:24 |
| jcastro | k | 19:24 |
| jono | ok, what other ideas did we have? | 19:24 |
| magespawn | personal blogs also? | 19:24 |
| jono | we should have little buttons for websites | 19:24 |
| jono | like the dev week buttons :) | 19:25 |
| czajkowski | they are rather cute | 19:25 |
| kn100 | i can do any graphics work you guys need :) | 19:25 |
| magespawn | do you want personal blogs too? | 19:25 |
| andresmujica1 | and a Professional Brochure like the dev one, too | 19:25 |
| popey | o/ | 19:25 |
| === Xpistos|work is now known as Xpistos|meeting | ||
| GidgetKitchen | FaceBook too dumbed down? | 19:25 |
| mhall119|work | I'd like a global jam badge for my website too | 19:25 |
| kn100 | popey: what LoCo are you representing if any? | 19:26 |
| popey | o_O | 19:26 |
| jono | kn100, you are happy to coordinate the graphics? | 19:26 |
| popey | kn100: is that a serious question? | 19:26 |
| * ianto o_O's kn100 too | 19:26 | |
| dholbach | kn100: that'd be sweet - do you think you could mail your ideas to ubuntu-locoteams@lists.u.c? | 19:26 |
| andresmujica1 | jono: Sent the news to linux.com, slashdot.org, lwn.net | 19:26 |
| huats | jono: +1 for the buttons but as I said we need to be able to i18n them | 19:26 |
| kn100 | put it this way, tell me what you need designed and what colours you want and what you want in it and i will do it :) | 19:26 |
| jcastro | yes let's not forget facebook! | 19:26 |
| jono | kn100, yeah, talk on loco-contacts to get ideas for that :) | 19:27 |
| jono | I will post to the Ubuntu Facebook group about the event again | 19:27 |
| dholbach | we had this http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/2550528941_5677fdf41e_o.png the last time | 19:27 |
| jono | andresmujica1, are you happy coordinate getting content out to those sites? | 19:27 |
| kn100 | so who do i contact? | 19:28 |
| andresmujica1 | jono: sure, np | 19:28 |
| dholbach | kn100: sorry, it's loco-contacts@ | 19:28 |
| jono | kn100, it is a mailing list | 19:28 |
| boredandblogging | kn100: throw it up on Spread Ubuntu | 19:28 |
| dholbach | but that banner was entirely focused on bug jams | 19:28 |
| jono | dholbach, just take the bugs out of it maybe :) | 19:28 |
| dholbach | jono: so a striked-through globe? not sure that's going to work ;-) | 19:29 |
| highvoltage | heh | 19:29 |
| dholbach | but anyway, let's discuss on loco-contacts@lists.u.c and I'm sure we'll figure something out | 19:29 |
| rrnwexec | how about the circle of friends with a globe in the middle? | 19:29 |
| czajkowski | papers and bugs and a globe | 19:29 |
| jono | dholbach, haha | 19:29 |
| dholbach | thanks kn100 for helping out | 19:29 |
| jono | good point | 19:29 |
| jono | any other ideas? | 19:30 |
| kn100 | stupid question, what the hell is u.c? | 19:30 |
| kn100 | ubuntu.com? | 19:30 |
| popey | ubuntu.com | 19:30 |
| jono | kn100, ubuntu.com | 19:30 |
| jono | :) | 19:30 |
| ianto | ubuntu,com ;) | 19:30 |
| kn100 | thought so | 19:30 |
| * jono high-fives kn100 :) | 19:30 | |
| dholbach | ROCK... all questions solved then! | 19:30 |
| andresmujica1 | jono: Post a note on the front page for each LoCo Team website | 19:30 |
| GidgetKitchen | peanut-butter sandwich with bugs in the jam? too dumb? | 19:30 |
| mhall119|work | I like the circle of friends around a globe | 19:30 |
| jono | andresmujica1, on which page? | 19:30 |
| mhall119|work | make each person represent one of Bug, Package and Doc | 19:30 |
| dholbach | mhall119|work: translations! | 19:31 |
| highvoltage | a tin of jam with an ubuntu logo :) (although americans call it jello I think) | 19:31 |
| ianto | Translations? | 19:31 |
| andresmujica1 | for example www.ubuntu-co.com we'll put a note there | 19:31 |
| mhall119|work | dholbach: all visual | 19:31 |
| dholbach | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams | 19:31 |
| mhall119|work | doesn't need text | 19:31 |
| jono | lets discuss ideas for the button on the website :) | 19:31 |
| dholbach | mhall119|work: we'll do translations at the jam too! | 19:31 |
| ianto | Most importantly, will there be a mention on the main ubuntu.com site? | 19:31 |
| mhall119|work | oh, huh, misunderstood | 19:31 |
| mhall119|work | dholbach: but there's only 3 people in the circle of friends, someone's gotta lose | 19:32 |
| jono | so should we maybe throw the second half of this meeting open to a Q+A for those of you wanting to organize jams | 19:32 |
| highvoltage | heh, look at the second pic on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam | 19:32 |
| highvoltage | look familiar kind of? | 19:32 |
| dholbach | haha | 19:32 |
| mhall119|work | highvoltage: that's funny | 19:33 |
| jcastro | haha | 19:33 |
| kn100 | highvoltage: win | 19:33 |
| highvoltage | :D | 19:33 |
| itnet7 | highvoltage: jelly :-P | 19:34 |
| mhall119|work | that's not bad actually, close enough to the Canonical/Ubuntu logos, but space enough that translations doesn't have to be left out | 19:34 |
| dholbach | I noticed that a few folks were new to the concept of Ubuntu Jams and I could imagine there's a bunch who haven't organised every single bit of their Jam yet... does anybody have any question that we can think about together while we're all here? | 19:34 |
| ianto | To move on to Q+A (assuming that means Questions and Answers?), have any locos got anyy advice out there for getting venues? Our LoCo has found a few but they ar costing £60/day which is erm, _really_ pricy | 19:34 |
| ianto | dholbach: Just in time, eh? | 19:34 |
| jono | ianto, did you ask on your list to see if anyone has venues available that are free? | 19:34 |
| jono | I have found many people have connections to free venues | 19:34 |
| GidgetKitchen | Coffee shops always need extra people | 19:35 |
| dholbach | ianto: are there any LUGs in your area, where do they meet? are there libraries, schools or universities around that might help out? | 19:35 |
| ianto | jono: I've been awaiting a response from jpds in PM to see how the list is progressing, but still no list... | 19:35 |
| magespawn | if big groups try schools | 19:35 |
| czajkowski | ianto: I use a college, good internet, and students and lecturers are interested | 19:35 |
| dholbach | ianto: how many people are you going to expect there? | 19:35 |
| czajkowski | ianto: we only had about 12 there and we're hoping to do the same again | 19:35 |
| GidgetKitchen | we have one that let's us use their 47 inch tv as a monitor | 19:35 |
| ianto | dholbach: First Jam for a small team so not more than 10, from 5 - 10 | 19:35 |
| mhall119|work | ianto: the Florida LoCo has used a public library's meeting rooms for free | 19:35 |
| mhall119|work | just check if you can bring food and drink | 19:35 |
| dholbach | at this point I like to share a story about the first berlin release party which I did in my home (that's an option too!) - turned out I had ~40-50 people in my appartment in that night ;-) | 19:36 |
| Mean-Machine | folks, don't forget to watch dholbach's video ' Running Bug Jams and Packaging Jams' -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBY7wfX2jpA | 19:36 |
| dholbach | so if you have well-behaved people who bring cookies and cake one's home can work out well as a last resort :) | 19:36 |
| mhall119|work | and someone to good lasagna | 19:37 |
| ianto | I will ask at some libraries, places I've overlooked but even the LUGs have to pay for venues around here, I've spoken to organisers for ideas :) | 19:37 |
| highvoltage | dholbach: what's the smalles you can have a package jam? people in my lug are interested, but the talk time slots for our lug meetings are usually 1-1.5 hours long, which is a bit short for a package jam it seems? | 19:37 |
| itnet7 | ianto: how about local universities? | 19:37 |
| jono | also see http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1730589 - I did a video showing how to organize a Global Jam event | 19:37 |
| GidgetKitchen | Do we just have more coffee places on the west coast - they are really needing business | 19:38 |
| ianto | itnet7: I will contact a few Unis over the next few days as well. | 19:38 |
| dholbach | highvoltage: it's good if you can keep it open-ended so people can join in later on, hang out, get lunch, then do some more and go out for dinner/beer afterwards :) | 19:38 |
| jono | GidgetKitchen, I think we do :) | 19:38 |
| highvoltage | dholbach: good tip, thanks | 19:39 |
| mhall119|work | GidgetKitchen: yes | 19:39 |
| akgraner | what about inviting 2 or 3 Small LoCo teams that are in one area.. I was thinking NC, SC, GA and TN... | 19:39 |
| natewiebe13 | are jam events usually open to the general public? | 19:39 |
| mhall119|work | akgraner: that's a pretty big area | 19:39 |
| jcastro | natewiebe13: sure! | 19:39 |
| dholbach | akgraner: too many acronyms! :) | 19:39 |
| akgraner | oh sorry | 19:39 |
| dholbach | don't worry :) | 19:40 |
| akgraner | North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennesse, and Georgia | 19:40 |
| natewiebe13 | what about having a annual event that is geared to brining in new ubuntu members (have computers set up for people to use, and a computer continually getting ubuntu installed) to sell the idea of ubuntu to the average computer user? | 19:40 |
| highvoltage | natewiebe13: that sounds like an installfest | 19:41 |
| dholbach | akgraner: sure, if you can people together like that, that's great | 19:41 |
| AegisRising | jono, so adverts in local newspapers could be used to attract attention to the event? | 19:41 |
| natewiebe13 | kind of like an open house.. put up posters, advertise, etc.. | 19:41 |
| czajkowski | akgraner: also dont forget wihle it's on for the 3 days, not everyone can make it, dont wory if you cnt do all the days, | 19:41 |
| dholbach | shall we move on to local publicity? :) | 19:42 |
| dholbach | what did you guys do for advertising the event? | 19:42 |
| highvoltage | in our lug we called it a "fiddlefest" for a while becuase the actual installation of ubuntu is so easy, but then there were too many bad jokes so we changed it back to "installfest". | 19:42 |
| jono | AegisRising, that would be awesome :) | 19:42 |
| natewiebe13 | id be willing to do it if there were others from london, ontario | 19:42 |
| jono | posters and flyers are really really useful | 19:42 |
| czajkowski | I think once we get a logo we can create posters and send out to local areas, to invite people | 19:43 |
| ianto | dholbach: Ashemedly not much in terms of advertisingg other than contacting existing Linux groups in the country | 19:43 |
| czajkowski | so colleges. business areas which may have an interest | 19:43 |
| magespawn | local newspapers will usually run small articles for free | 19:43 |
| natewiebe13 | anyone here from ontario?? | 19:43 |
| GidgetKitchen | What about the pres of the internet Leo, again am i dumbing it down. one mention on TWiT is worth lots of blogs | 19:44 |
| dholbach | twittering, blogging, mailing mailing lists, posters and flyers are great in bookshops or in the venue where you're planning it | 19:44 |
| greg-g | hey, I can't really pay attention to the meeting right now, but just let me/us know the specific plans and if there is anywhere I can help out | 19:45 |
| natewiebe13 | nobody from my area :(, if there was.. id definately plan an event | 19:45 |
| GidgetKitchen | local talk radio can help with FREE mentions | 19:45 |
| rrnwexec | we'll likely pass out flyers as part of "software Freedom Day" sept 19th | 19:46 |
| czajkowski | natewiebe13: is there a local LoCo for you? | 19:46 |
| rrnwexec | (on the busiest street in the city) | 19:46 |
| hollman | rrnwexec, +1 yeah good idea | 19:46 |
| natewiebe13 | czajkowski: no idea | 19:46 |
| GidgetKitchen | natewiebe13: there are. u just have to find them ;-) | 19:46 |
| hollman | on the SFD | 19:46 |
| natewiebe13 | czajkowski: im from london ontario area | 19:47 |
| czajkowski | natewiebe13: join the #ubuntu-ca and ask in there or see if they are organising anything | 19:47 |
| GidgetKitchen | lindependence day coordination? | 19:47 |
| natewiebe13 | czajkowski: i actually found out about LoCo teams and jams 1 hour ago :P | 19:47 |
| boredandblogging | would suggest LoCos send members to nearby LUGs or open source group meetings to plug GJ | 19:48 |
| czajkowski | natewiebe13: cool, well if you need a hand, just shout, the channel I recommened is the canadaian loco | 19:48 |
| boredandblogging | its not exactly scalable, but might help | 19:48 |
| czajkowski | *canadian | 19:48 |
| === ember_ is now known as ember | ||
| natewiebe13 | czajkowski: it seems to be dead right now.. | 19:49 |
| dholbach | are there any other completely different questions? | 19:49 |
| hollman | the Softawre Freedom Day will be Sptember 19, this day we can spread some flyers | 19:49 |
| hollman | softwarefreedomday.org | 19:49 |
| ianto | Flyers posters etc, does anyone have any good online resources where they can print and send it to you? | 19:49 |
| YoBoY | dholbach: some ideas for what to do on a doc jam? ^^" | 19:49 |
| rrnwexec | system76 used to send out free posters | 19:50 |
| dholbach | YoBoY: I would have loved to have mdke here - I'll have a chat with him and we'll extend the wiki.u.c/Jams page | 19:50 |
| ianto | For American teams? | 19:50 |
| dholbach | YoBoY: if you PM me your email address, I can CC you in that mail if you're interested | 19:51 |
| dholbach | Does everybody feel comfortable now getting the rest of their Jam organised? :-) | 19:52 |
| dholbach | or did we miss something? | 19:52 |
| andresmujica1 | what about using ustream.tv or mogulus to send a live feed during the event, we can create a general group with different channels for each LoCO team, a webcam should be enough... | 19:52 |
| czajkowski | andresmujica1: oh that cold be lotta fun! | 19:52 |
| czajkowski | I know last year we were sending picutures and tagging them and flks could follow them | 19:52 |
| dholbach | andresmujica1: would you be happy to add that to the Jams documentation somewhere so people know how to do that? | 19:52 |
| andresmujica1 | ok. added to my TODO list :) | 19:53 |
| dholbach | ROCK | 19:53 |
| czajkowski | dholbach: I think translations may be the hardest so that would be great! | 19:53 |
| czajkowski | andresmujica1: ^^ | 19:53 |
| hollman | andresmujica1, +1 :P | 19:53 |
| dholbach | ok... let's wrap up the meeting now... we have another Q&A session coming up on the 18th September if I'm not mistaken - we can of course keep the discussion going on in #ubuntu-locoteams - I have just one more question: | 19:54 |
| dholbach | can everybody quickly sum up what they have on their TODO list now for the Ubuntu Global Jam, so we might help each other out or get ideas from somebody else :-) | 19:55 |
| jcastro | I am blogging on monday, and a How to Run a Jam session on 18 Sept | 19:55 |
