iantoYeah Cymru is all set up18:07
effie_jayxpretty much18:07
dpm\o/18:07
* dpm just realises that the UGJ meeting is in 1h, but it's good to know that you're pretty much set up :)18:08
jcastroalright, Global Jam Discussion in about 3 minutes18:58
jcastrowho's around18:58
* ianto stands up18:58
jcastrowoo hoo18:59
czajkowskialoha19:00
jcastroalright! Let's give it a minute or two for the stragglers19:00
jcastroczajkowski: now would be a good time to make an announcement about Arthur's Day19:01
jcastrook, let's begin, who's here, I'm Jorge from ubuntu-us-mi.19:03
iantoI'm Chris from ubuntu-cym19:03
czajkowskijcastro: To arthur :D19:04
czajkowskiGuinness stor has over 250 people at it drinking!19:04
pleia2I'm Lyz from Pennsylvania :)19:04
czajkowskiI stayed in to do NGO interviews!19:04
brobostigoni am philip also from ubuntu-cym19:04
czajkowskiI'm laura from Ireland19:04
jcastrook so19:05
jcastroby now most everyone should be in the final or near-final stages of their planning19:05
jcastroanyone have any "OMG!"'s or anything out of the ordinary?19:05
czajkowskiour venue got pulled last saturday so now we're working on a plan B, may not be able to do all 3 days though19:06
czajkowskibut we're working on it19:06
jcastroyou were planning on meeting all three days? wow.19:07
jcastrowe;'re only doing a few hours on one day19:07
jcastroI have something I'd like to run past the group19:07
jcastroso, with the jam being around beta19:07
jcastroand release parties coming shortly afterwards19:07
czajkowskijcastro: just the sat and sunday19:07
jcastrodo you guys think that would dilute one or the other?19:07
jcastroso for example "Let's not do a jam, let's do a release party instead" or the other way around?19:08
mhall119|workjcastro: the Florida team has had to deal with that, since FLS is on the 24th as well19:08
jcastroor do you think most locos wouldn't mind doing 2 events so close to each other?19:08
dariusHNo because the jam is a get together for the purpose of improving ubuntu, and the release party is more like a drink in a pub, nobody's going to miss that :P19:09
czajkowskiI dont think mind as such, just getting people to come to both can be a bot tricky thats' 2 weekends taken up.19:09
mhall119|workthe events aren't the issue, the travel is.  Making a 2 hour drive is fine once a month, but 2 weekends in a row and it can be costly19:09
czajkowskican be a bit hard19:09
JanCwe've been too busy with fair booths to even think much about a release party yet this month...  :-/19:09
jcastrowell, I think that a loco getting together should like "count" for something19:10
brobostigonagreed jcastro19:10
jcastroso like, you might not have a release party but you did a booth at a linuxfest or soemthing19:10
iantoI think that a Jam is more important for a LoCo than a release party.  Parties come and go and not all members are too fussed about new releases but at least in a Jam teams get to work together19:11
jcastroianto: yeah but in many ways the social bonds are just as important as the technology19:11
mhall119|workrelease parties have always been a good way to get new users and future users into the group19:11
jcastroright19:12
czajkowskiyup,19:12
jcastroif we only got together to work on ubuntu people would go insane19:12
czajkowskiwe've gotten more members from the party or people seeing us having cd burning and pub quiz then jamming19:12
mhall119|workThere's nothing wrong with doing both parties and jams, it's just the proximity that is making people have to choose between attending one or the other19:13
mhall119|workif the UGJ was about a month earlier, it would be easier19:13
czajkowskiI'm with mhall119|work on this this. they are a tad close, but there's not much you can really do is there. perhaps spread them out by a month would help19:14
jcastroczajkowski: haha a pub quiz is awesome19:14
jcastrook19:14
jcastroI think it's useful to have the jam right after beta though for hw submissions19:14
jcastrothough I can see a benefit to both19:14
mhall119|worknext time, I wouldn't reschedule the UGJ now19:14
brobostigonand ubuntu pub quiz, :) #ubuntu-trivia,19:14
jcastroor we could uncouple the jam from the release more, but I don't know about that19:14
czajkowskijcastro: aye, we had one question, name all the release names and what did sabdfl stand for19:15
mhall119|workjcastro: just need enough room for people to recover19:15
czajkowskishudda seen the answers19:15
jcastroheh19:15
mhall119|workI can imagine19:15
jcastrook, so, I think discussing the Jam date is a good UDS topic19:16
jcastroI think overall this year we were way more prepared than last time19:16
jcastroso I think that's a good sustainable thing19:16
czajkowskiyes19:16
jcastroany other ideas or topics?19:18
jcastrowe seem to be running too smoothly to have any issues19:18
jcastroeither that or we're not getting enough teams to participate, heh19:18
czajkowskijcastro: shhh don't jinx it19:18
czajkowskijcastro: will the lp server stay up on the day :p19:18
iantoOther than of course fixing Ubuntu, have other teams planned any additional stuff like competitions or key signing etc/19:18
jcastrowell, it's post lp-3.0 so cross your fingers19:18
jcastroone group was looking at a marketing(!) jam19:19
brobostigonan idea i though of, when we had out meeting about this in ubuntu-cym the other day, is a voip connection to jam, for those that cant attend.19:19
jcastrowell, once we iron out empathy voip we should be good19:19
brobostigon:)19:19
jcastrofor next cycle though. :-/19:19
brobostigonyes.19:19
jcastroI am wondering if any group is going to live ustream or something19:19
brobostigonjcastro: ubuntu-cym had that idea.19:20
czajkowskiwould be deadly if folks could see other jams going on19:20
jcastroindeed19:20
brobostigonand fun,19:20
jcastrowe should Just Try It on that day19:20
jcastroI bet if  one group does it everyone will just start doing it19:21
brobostigonremote participation.19:21
jcastrokind of like a viral video thing19:21
mhall119|workjcastro: live streaming to multiple people over a free WiFi?19:21
iantojcastro: Is tehre gonna be an #ubuntu-jam chanel or siilar?19:21
jcastromhall119|work: well, depends on the venue of course19:21
ianto*similar19:21
jcastroianto: I don't think so, last time we just hung out in -bugs, or whichever channel you were participating in19:22
jcastrothough I don't think it would hurt19:22
czajkowskior even just -locoteams19:22
czajkowskiit's where everyone is19:22
jcastroyou know what, not another channel, let's get the good stuff in -locoteams19:22
jcastroyeah!19:22
czajkowskiand would be nice to see more activity in there19:22
iantojcastro: Last time was focused on one section though but I think a general channel would be good19:22
czajkowskiit does lack at times19:22
jcastroindeed19:22
jcastrosince this is loco oriented I think -locoteams is appropriate19:22
czajkowskijono dented it one day and we got loads in , we really should encourage our teams to go in there19:22
jcastroand the local channels too19:22
jcastroindeed19:23
iantoAlright fair enough then :)19:23
* jcastro edits the wiki page19:23
jcastroany other ideas/business?19:23
czajkowskiafter the GJ, dont just head off home, try and stay around afterwards close the laptop19:24
mhall119|workhaving everyone participate in -locoteams will raise awareness of the channel19:24
czajkowskiand grab a drink or food and meet more of your loco19:24
jcastroczajkowski: yeah19:24
czajkowskiit's not work we're doing so we should enjoy it19:25
iantoOoh an important thing, maps!19:28
iantoI've taken pictures of the entire capital's high street on how to get to the library for people who aren't used to Cardiff19:28
czajkowskiyou could have an osm party afterwards and help that group19:28
iantoPerhaps others might need that too ^19:29
mhall119|workosm?19:29
iantoFrom Train Station and from High St19:29
iantoOpen Street Maps?19:29
mhall119|workah19:29
qwebirc11239hello19:51
iantoHello there qwebirc1123919:51
qwebirc11239i think i am in the right place I want to learn about building packages and helping the comm.19:52
iantoAH, I think that unless there is a lesson planned for that you might want to go to #ubuntu-motu for help on packaging19:53
qwebirc11239ah ok thank you19:53
