[07:59] <Garefield> ok thanks bye
[18:03] <dpm> hello everyone!
[18:04] <ianto> Aloha
[18:04] <dpm> hi ianto
[18:05] <dpm> hi effie_jayx
[18:05] <effie_jayx> hello
[18:06] <dpm> so how are you guys doing? All set up for the UGJ events?
[18:07] <ianto> Yeah Cymru is all set up
[18:07] <effie_jayx> pretty much
[18:07] <dpm> \o/
[18:08]  * dpm just realises that the UGJ meeting is in 1h, but it's good to know that you're pretty much set up :)
[18:58] <jcastro> alright, Global Jam Discussion in about 3 minutes
[18:58] <jcastro> who's around
[18:58]  * ianto stands up
[18:59] <jcastro> woo hoo
[19:00] <czajkowski> aloha
[19:00] <jcastro> alright! Let's give it a minute or two for the stragglers
[19:01] <jcastro> czajkowski: now would be a good time to make an announcement about Arthur's Day
[19:03] <jcastro> ok, let's begin, who's here, I'm Jorge from ubuntu-us-mi.
[19:03] <ianto> I'm Chris from ubuntu-cym
[19:04] <czajkowski> jcastro: To arthur :D
[19:04] <czajkowski> Guinness stor has over 250 people at it drinking!
[19:04] <pleia2> I'm Lyz from Pennsylvania :)
[19:04] <czajkowski> I stayed in to do NGO interviews!
[19:04] <brobostigon> i am philip also from ubuntu-cym
[19:04] <czajkowski> I'm laura from Ireland
[19:05] <jcastro> ok so
[19:05] <jcastro> by now most everyone should be in the final or near-final stages of their planning
[19:05] <jcastro> anyone have any "OMG!"'s or anything out of the ordinary?
[19:06] <czajkowski> our venue got pulled last saturday so now we're working on a plan B, may not be able to do all 3 days though
[19:06] <czajkowski> but we're working on it
[19:07] <jcastro> you were planning on meeting all three days? wow.
[19:07] <jcastro> we;'re only doing a few hours on one day
[19:07] <jcastro> I have something I'd like to run past the group
[19:07] <jcastro> so, with the jam being around beta
[19:07] <jcastro> and release parties coming shortly afterwards
[19:07] <czajkowski> jcastro: just the sat and sunday
[19:07] <jcastro> do you guys think that would dilute one or the other?
[19:08] <jcastro> so for example "Let's not do a jam, let's do a release party instead" or the other way around?
[19:08] <mhall119|work> jcastro: the Florida team has had to deal with that, since FLS is on the 24th as well
[19:08] <jcastro> or do you think most locos wouldn't mind doing 2 events so close to each other?
[19:09] <dariusH> No 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 :P
[19:09] <czajkowski> I 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|work> the 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 costly
[19:09] <czajkowski> can be a bit hard
[19:09] <JanC> we've been too busy with fair booths to even think much about a release party yet this month...  :-/
[19:10] <jcastro> well, I think that a loco getting together should like "count" for something
[19:10] <brobostigon> agreed jcastro
[19:10] <jcastro> so like, you might not have a release party but you did a booth at a linuxfest or soemthing
[19:11] <ianto> I 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 together
[19:11] <jcastro> ianto: yeah but in many ways the social bonds are just as important as the technology
[19:11] <mhall119|work> release parties have always been a good way to get new users and future users into the group
[19:12] <jcastro> right
[19:12] <czajkowski> yup,
[19:12] <jcastro> if we only got together to work on ubuntu people would go insane
[19:12] <czajkowski> we've gotten more members from the party or people seeing us having cd burning and pub quiz then jamming
[19:13] <mhall119|work> There'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 other
[19:13] <mhall119|work> if the UGJ was about a month earlier, it would be easier
[19:14] <czajkowski> I'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 help
[19:14] <jcastro> czajkowski: haha a pub quiz is awesome
[19:14] <jcastro> ok
[19:14] <jcastro> I think it's useful to have the jam right after beta though for hw submissions
[19:14] <jcastro> though I can see a benefit to both
[19:14] <mhall119|work> next time, I wouldn't reschedule the UGJ now
[19:14] <brobostigon> and ubuntu pub quiz, :) #ubuntu-trivia,
[19:14] <jcastro> or we could uncouple the jam from the release more, but I don't know about that
[19:15] <czajkowski> jcastro: aye, we had one question, name all the release names and what did sabdfl stand for
[19:15] <mhall119|work> jcastro: just need enough room for people to recover
[19:15] <czajkowski> shudda seen the answers
[19:15] <jcastro> heh
[19:15] <mhall119|work> I can imagine
[19:16] <jcastro> ok, so, I think discussing the Jam date is a good UDS topic
[19:16] <jcastro> I think overall this year we were way more prepared than last time
[19:16] <jcastro> so I think that's a good sustainable thing
[19:16] <czajkowski> yes
[19:18] <jcastro> any other ideas or topics?
[19:18] <jcastro> we seem to be running too smoothly to have any issues
[19:18] <jcastro> either that or we're not getting enough teams to participate, heh
[19:18] <czajkowski> jcastro: shhh don't jinx it
[19:18] <czajkowski> jcastro: will the lp server stay up on the day :p
[19:18] <ianto> Other than of course fixing Ubuntu, have other teams planned any additional stuff like competitions or key signing etc/
[19:18] <jcastro> well, it's post lp-3.0 so cross your fingers
[19:19] <jcastro> one group was looking at a marketing(!) jam
[19:19] <brobostigon> an 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] <jcastro> well, once we iron out empathy voip we should be good
[19:19] <brobostigon> :)
[19:19] <jcastro> for next cycle though. :-/
[19:19] <brobostigon> yes.
[19:19] <jcastro> I am wondering if any group is going to live ustream or something
[19:20] <brobostigon> jcastro: ubuntu-cym had that idea.
[19:20] <czajkowski> would be deadly if folks could see other jams going on
[19:20] <jcastro> indeed
[19:20] <brobostigon> and fun,
[19:20] <jcastro> we should Just Try It on that day
[19:21] <jcastro> I bet if  one group does it everyone will just start doing it
[19:21] <brobostigon> remote participation.
[19:21] <jcastro> kind of like a viral video thing
[19:21] <mhall119|work> jcastro: live streaming to multiple people over a free WiFi?
[19:21] <ianto> jcastro: Is tehre gonna be an #ubuntu-jam chanel or siilar?
[19:21] <jcastro> mhall119|work: well, depends on the venue of course
[19:21] <ianto> *similar
[19:22] <jcastro> ianto: I don't think so, last time we just hung out in -bugs, or whichever channel you were participating in
[19:22] <jcastro> though I don't think it would hurt
[19:22] <czajkowski> or even just -locoteams
[19:22] <czajkowski> it's where everyone is
[19:22] <jcastro> you know what, not another channel, let's get the good stuff in -locoteams
[19:22] <jcastro> yeah!
[19:22] <czajkowski> and would be nice to see more activity in there
[19:22] <ianto> jcastro: Last time was focused on one section though but I think a general channel would be good
[19:22] <czajkowski> it does lack at times
[19:22] <jcastro> indeed
[19:22] <jcastro> since this is loco oriented I think -locoteams is appropriate
[19:22] <czajkowski> jono dented it one day and we got loads in , we really should encourage our teams to go in there
[19:22] <jcastro> and the local channels too
[19:23] <jcastro> indeed
[19:23] <ianto> Alright fair enough then :)
[19:23]  * jcastro edits the wiki page
[19:23] <jcastro> any other ideas/business?
[19:24] <czajkowski> after the GJ, dont just head off home, try and stay around afterwards close the laptop
[19:24] <mhall119|work> having everyone participate in -locoteams will raise awareness of the channel
[19:24] <czajkowski> and grab a drink or food and meet more of your loco
[19:24] <jcastro> czajkowski: yeah
[19:25] <czajkowski> it's not work we're doing so we should enjoy it
[19:28] <ianto> Ooh an important thing, maps!
[19:28] <ianto> I've taken pictures of the entire capital's high street on how to get to the library for people who aren't used to Cardiff
[19:28] <czajkowski> you could have an osm party afterwards and help that group
[19:29] <ianto> Perhaps others might need that too ^
[19:29] <mhall119|work> osm?
[19:29] <ianto> From Train Station and from High St
[19:29] <ianto> Open Street Maps?
[19:29] <mhall119|work> ah
[19:51] <qwebirc11239> hello
[19:51] <ianto> Hello there qwebirc11239
[19:52] <qwebirc11239> i think i am in the right place I want to learn about building packages and helping the comm.
[19:53] <ianto> AH, I think that unless there is a lesson planned for that you might want to go to #ubuntu-motu for help on packaging
[19:53] <qwebirc11239> ah ok thank you
