jonook19:04
jono:)19:04
* andol is from the Swedish LoCo, and plans to use this Jam as a kickoff for some local bug triage work19:05
jonoso lets start with the problem...19:05
jono...https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam/Events19:05
jononot enough events :)19:05
jonoI am really keen to see what we can do to encourage more LoCo teams to take part in the Ubuntu Global Jam19:05
kn100oh god.. this is gonna be a fun meeting19:05
jonoheh19:05
YoBoYho, haven't marked my team yet ^^"19:05
andresmujica1oeee la ola!!!19:06
jonook :)19:06
rrnwexecUbuntu Vancouver is planning a bug jam, possibly more. Will update the page.19:06
jonocool :)19:06
kn100ubuntu-cym is taking part19:07
Mean-Machineeveninkz19:07
pleia2Pennsylvania will be adding ours once we get formal confirmation of our location19:07
jonoI am really keen to see how we can encourage better awareness of the event and get people involved19:07
pleia2(we're doing a Mythbuntu Installfest/Jam)19:07
natewiebe13im from london ontario (not on a team.. just watching for fun :))19:07
czajkowskiI think a good idea would be to get LoCo's to sign up to the page, small things like venue can be worked out late19:08
jonoso 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
jonoczajkowski, entirely afree :)19:08
czajkowskiif they are stuck for help on how to run one we can help on the mailing list or in -locoteams.19:08
nixternaljono: nhandler, j1mc, and myself will hammer out a few events when we can all get together19:09
jonoczajkowski, yeah, we should encourage Q+A in #ubuntu-locoteams more19:09
jononixternal, awesome, can you add something to the page19:09
nixternalwill do, and it is Chicago, not Chicaco :p19:09
czajkowskiSo 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 over19:09
* dholbach hugs nixternal19:09
jonoas boredandblogging pointed out on the list, I think it is important to note that you don't have to do everything at an event19:09
* nixternal hugs dholbach 19:09
* Mean-Machine hugs czajkowski19:09
czajkowskijono: 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 noisey19:10
Mean-Machineczajkowski <- ubuntu-ie event organizer :D19:10
jonomaybe a Q+A session every two weeks could be useful with some identified people answering the questions19:10
jono?19:10
rrnwexecin Vancouver, we are considering a Translation Jam as well, since we have a very diverse population19:10
dholbachI 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
pleia2a formal Q&A in #ubuntu-classroom (where other classes are held and promoted) would be welcome too, just like with the GlobalBugJams19:10
czajkowskifor 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
jonodholbach, good question19:11
Mean-Machinelinux format is quite keen on printing planned linux related events19:11
* dholbach is guilty... I could have definitely mailed a few more folks about the global jam19:12
* dholbach adds it to his TODO list19:12
akgranerwe have a venue in NC.. now it's just coming up with a schedule of events and getting folks to come..19:12
jonook, would someone be happy to organize Q+A sessions in #ubuntu-locoteams?19:12
jcastroI think it would help for those of us in teams that are pending to still add themselves to the list and put "pending" or something19:12
YoBoYhi huats ;)19:13
boredandbloggingthink partly we just need to keep the conversation about it going19:13
czajkowskiboredandblogging: aye indeed19:13
jonoboredandblogging, agreed19:13
boredandbloggingwe really haven't blogged about it19:13
boredandbloggingnot as much anyway19:13
jonowho here has a blog?19:13
jonoo/19:13
huatshey YoBoY !19:13
akgranero/19:13
czajkowskiwhich is kinda why I suggested #ubuntu-locoteams as peope are in there and could benefit from chit chatting19:13
kn100o/19:13
boredandblogginghaha19:13
iantozo19:13
hollmano/19:13
macoo/19:13
ianto\o19:13
kn100ianto had to be different :P19:13
jono\o/ :-)19:13
jonowould you all be happy to write up a blog entry about it?19:13
dholbachjcastro and nixternal have a blog too!19:13
markjones_i must admit, i've not heard much about GlobalJam until I spoke to ianto19:14
itnet7o/19:14
rafael_carreraso/19:14
nixternalheh, my blog has been a bit stale...nobody likes me anymore so they don't read it :)19:14
* jono smacks nixternal 19:14
kn100same 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
jonokn100, perfect!19:14
jcastrowe could also mentioin it during developer week since that's coming up and will attract a bunch of people19:14
jonook, so can we each agree to write up a blog entry?19:14
macoaye19:14
markjones_yeah, jono: is it worth twittering about GlobalJam?19:15
czajkowskiagreed19:15
nixternaljono: lets not all write them at the same time19:15
GidgetKitchenI will unstale our blog & write about it19:15
kn100jono: what should we write?19:15
iantoYeha of course, I first need to migrate my blod however...19:15
magespawnone from all the loco teams?19:15
huatsjono: we will write at least a blog entry on the french loco one...19:15
jonomarkjones_, absolutely!19:15
hollmanyeah19:15
huats:)19:15
nixternalone or 2 a day would be good, depending on the planet traffic19:15
jonokn100, mainly write about what it is, when it is happening and link to the wiki pages19:15
jonohuats, awesome!19:15
iantokn100: Cough, mention it on any techy mailing list you are on ;)19:15
kn100i am not on one mailing list :P19:16
jonoI would recommend that everyone writes it today, but maybe schedule it to be published at a different time19:16
* nixternal seriously needs a whiteboard19:16
kn100i hate mailing lists19:16
boredandbloggingcan we possibly get other linux sites to talk about it? like lwn.net?19:16
jonothen they appear at different times19:16
markjones_has anybody sent an email to all the Linux User Groups>19:16
jonoboredandblogging, that would be really cool :)19:16
jcastroyeah someone needs to submit it to lwn19:16
GidgetKitchenpartnering with local LUGs  is another good way19:16
jonoWhat would be cool is to have a retweeting campaign19:16
GidgetKitchenidentica cough19:16
jonoI will tweet it now19:17
andresmujica1If each LoCO Team post a note on their website/homepage it would be great, too!19:17
rrnwexecand a re-denting19:17
huatsGidgetKitchen: that is what we too in France... coordination with LUGS19:17
jcastrowe need a button for the localteam websites19:17
jcastrolike we did for developer week19:17
iantoCorrect me if I'm wrong but doesn't Linux.com have some sort of blogging platform for members?19:17
macoyes19:17
andresmujica1jcastro: Exactly!!19:17
iantoSome entries on there wouldn't go amiss :)19:17
andresmujica1ianto: that's true19:17
jonook sent19:17
huatsjcastro: that is a goof idea... but please bear in mind the i18n...19:18
jonook, I am keen to get some of these ideas assigned to folks19:18

jonowho would like to coordinate this?19:22
jcastroI can do one19:23
kn100what would be involved19:23

* ianto o_O's kn100 too19:26
dholbachkn100: that'd be sweet - do you think you could mail your ideas to ubuntu-locoteams@lists.u.c?19:26
andresmujica1jono:   Sent the news to linux.com, slashdot.org, lwn.net19:26
huatsjono: +1 for the buttons but as I said we need to be able to i18n them19:26
kn100put 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
jcastroyes let's not forget facebook!19:26
jonokn100, yeah, talk on loco-contacts to get ideas for that :)19:27
jonoI will post to the Ubuntu Facebook group about the event again19:27
dholbachwe had this http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/2550528941_5677fdf41e_o.png the last time19:27
jonoandresmujica1, are you happy coordinate getting content out to those sites?19:27
kn100so who do i contact?19:28
andresmujica1jono: sure, np19:28
dholbachkn100: sorry, it's loco-contacts@19:28
jonokn100, it is a mailing list19:28
boredandbloggingkn100: throw it up on Spread Ubuntu19:28
dholbachbut that banner was entirely focused on bug jams19:28
jonodholbach, just take the bugs out of it maybe :)19:28
dholbachjono: so a striked-through globe? not sure that's going to work ;-)19:29
highvoltageheh19:29
dholbachbut anyway, let's discuss on loco-contacts@lists.u.c and I'm sure we'll figure something out19:29
rrnwexechow about the circle of friends with a globe in the middle?19:29
czajkowskipapers and bugs and a globe19:29
jonodholbach, haha19:29
dholbachthanks kn100 for helping out19:29
jonogood point19:29
jonoany other ideas?19:30
kn100stupid question, what the hell is u.c?19:30
kn100ubuntu.com?19:30
popeyubuntu.com19:30
jonokn100, ubuntu.com19:30
jono:)19:30
iantoubuntu,com ;)19:30
kn100thought so19:30
* jono high-fives kn100 :)19:30
dholbachROCK... all questions solved then!19:30
andresmujica1jono:  Post a note on the front page for each LoCo Team website19:30
GidgetKitchenpeanut-butter sandwich with bugs in the jam? too dumb?19:30
mhall119|workI like the circle of friends around a globe19:30
jonoandresmujica1, on which page?19:30
mhall119|workmake each person represent one of Bug, Package and Doc19:30
dholbachmhall119|work: translations!19:31
highvoltagea tin of jam with an ubuntu logo :) (although americans call it jello I think)19:31
iantoTranslations?19:31
andresmujica1for example www.ubuntu-co.com  we'll put a note there19:31
mhall119|workdholbach: all visual19:31
dholbachhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams19:31
mhall119|workdoesn't need text19:31
jonolets discuss ideas for the button on the website :)19:31
dholbachmhall119|work: we'll do translations at the jam too!19:31
iantoMost importantly, will there be a mention on the main ubuntu.com site?19:31
mhall119|workoh, huh, misunderstood19:31
mhall119|workdholbach: but there's only 3 people in the circle of friends, someone's gotta lose19:32
jonoso should we maybe throw the second half of this meeting open to a Q+A for those of you wanting to organize jams19:32
highvoltageheh, look at the second pic on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam19:32
highvoltagelook familiar kind of?19:32
dholbachhaha19:32
mhall119|workhighvoltage: that's funny19:33
jcastrohaha19:33
kn100highvoltage: win19:33
highvoltage:D19:33
itnet7highvoltage: jelly :-P19:34
mhall119|workthat's not bad actually, close enough to the Canonical/Ubuntu logos, but space enough that translations doesn't have to be left out19:34
dholbachI 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
iantoTo 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_ pricy19:34
iantodholbach: Just in time, eh?19:34
jonoianto, did you ask on your list to see if anyone has venues available that are free?19:34
jonoI have found many people have connections to free venues19:34
GidgetKitchenCoffee shops always need extra people19:35
dholbachianto: are there any LUGs in your area, where do they meet? are there libraries, schools or universities around that might help out?19:35
iantojono: I've been awaiting a response from jpds in PM to see how the list is progressing, but still no list...19:35
magespawnif big groups try schools19:35
czajkowskiianto: I use a college, good internet, and students and lecturers are interested19:35
dholbachianto: how many people are you going to expect there?19:35
czajkowskiianto: we only had about 12 there and we're hoping to do the same again19:35
GidgetKitchenwe have one that let's us use their 47 inch tv as a monitor19:35
iantodholbach: First Jam for a small team so not more than 10, from 5 - 1019:35
mhall119|workianto: the Florida LoCo has used a public library's meeting rooms for free19:35
mhall119|workjust check if you can bring food and drink19:35
dholbachat 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-Machinefolks, don't forget to watch dholbach's video ' Running Bug Jams and Packaging Jams'  -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBY7wfX2jpA19:36
dholbachso 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|workand someone to good lasagna19:37
iantoI 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
highvoltagedholbach: 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
itnet7ianto: how about local universities?19:37
jonoalso see http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1730589 - I did a video showing how to organize a Global Jam event19:37
GidgetKitchenDo we just have more coffee places on the west coast - they are really needing business19:38
iantoitnet7: I will contact a few Unis over the next few days as well.19:38
dholbachhighvoltage: 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
jonoGidgetKitchen, I think we do :)19:38
highvoltagedholbach: good tip, thanks19:39
mhall119|workGidgetKitchen: yes19:39
akgranerwhat about inviting 2 or 3 Small LoCo teams that are in one area..  I was thinking NC, SC, GA and TN...19:39
natewiebe13are jam events usually open to the general public?19:39
mhall119|workakgraner: that's a pretty big area19:39
jcastronatewiebe13: sure!19:39
dholbachakgraner: too many acronyms! :)19:39
akgraneroh sorry19:39
dholbachdon't worry :)19:40
akgranerNorth Carolina, South Carolina, Tennesse, and Georgia19:40
natewiebe13what 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
highvoltagenatewiebe13: that sounds like an installfest19:41
dholbachakgraner: sure, if you can people together like that, that's great19:41
AegisRisingjono, so adverts in local newspapers could be used to attract attention to the event?19:41
natewiebe13kind of like an open house.. put up posters, advertise, etc..19:41
czajkowskiakgraner: 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
dholbachshall we move on to local publicity? :)19:42
dholbachwhat did you guys do for advertising the event?19:42
highvoltagein 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
jonoAegisRising, that would be awesome :)19:42
natewiebe13id be willing to do it if there were others from london, ontario19:42
jonoposters and flyers are really really useful19:42
czajkowskiI think once we get a logo we can create posters and send out to local areas, to invite people19:43
iantodholbach: Ashemedly not much in terms of advertisingg other than contacting existing Linux groups in the country19:43
czajkowskiso colleges. business areas which may have an interest19:43
magespawnlocal newspapers will usually run small articles for  free19:43
natewiebe13anyone here from ontario??19:43
GidgetKitchenWhat about the pres of the internet Leo, again am i dumbing it down. one mention on TWiT is worth lots of blogs19:44
dholbachtwittering, blogging, mailing mailing lists, posters and flyers are great in bookshops or in the venue where you're planning it19:44
greg-ghey, 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 out19:45
natewiebe13nobody from my area :(, if there was.. id definately plan an event19:45
GidgetKitchenlocal talk radio can help with FREE mentions19:45
rrnwexecwe'll likely pass out flyers as part of "software Freedom Day" sept 19th19:46
czajkowskinatewiebe13: is there a local LoCo for you?19:46
rrnwexec(on the busiest street in the city)19:46
hollmanrrnwexec, +1 yeah good idea19:46

hollmanon the SFD19:46
natewiebe13czajkowski: im from london ontario area19:47
czajkowskinatewiebe13: join the #ubuntu-ca and ask in there or see if they are organising anything19:47
GidgetKitchenlindependence day coordination?19:47
natewiebe13czajkowski: i actually found out about LoCo teams and jams 1 hour ago :P19:47
boredandbloggingwould suggest LoCos send members to nearby LUGs or open source group meetings to plug GJ19:48
czajkowskinatewiebe13: cool, well if you need a hand, just shout, the channel I recommened is the canadaian loco19:48
boredandbloggingits not exactly scalable, but might help19:48

dholbachDoes everybody feel comfortable now getting the rest of their Jam organised? :-)19:52
dholbachor did we miss something?19:52
andresmujica1what 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
czajkowskiandresmujica1: oh that cold be lotta fun!19:52
czajkowskiI know last year we were sending picutures and tagging them and flks could follow them19:52
dholbachandresmujica1: would you be happy to add that to the Jams documentation somewhere so people know how to do that?19:52
andresmujica1ok. added to my TODO list :)19:53
dholbachROCK19:53

czajkowskiandresmujica1: ^^19:53
hollmanandresmujica1, +1 :P19:53
dholbachok... 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
