[05:32]  * elky hops around in happy circles.
[05:34] <elky> Work just said I can go to UDS!
[05:34] <robertwall> woot!
[05:35] <elky> 1 week leave, 1 week I'll be working remote.
[05:35]  * elky hops around some more
[05:36] <elky> Now I just need to figure how to get there, back and accoms :)
[05:38] <elky> And how to focus on work...
[05:38]  * elky bounces some more.
[07:12]  * nigelb hugs elky 
[07:12] <nigelb> Congrats :)
[07:12] <nigelb> to add to the fun, I finally applied for passport :)
[07:12] <nigelb> Maybe in another 30 days I'll get passport
[07:13] <valorie> you feel sorta on pins and needles until you actually GET it
[07:13]  * valorie has been there
[07:18] <nigelb> valorie: exactly.
[09:45] <czajkowski> aloha
[19:09] <nigelb> We talked about this around the time for last meeting.  Can we try training more people as chair for meetings?
[19:09] <nigelb> Just leaving the question out here for folks to comment on
[19:10] <nigelb> (and perhaps volunteer to chair next meeting)
[19:10] <czajkowski> not much to train, people just copy the command and hey presto, be nice to rotate it I guess. depends on the team in some cases having one chair works well
[19:11] <AlanBell> yes, it isn't hard to do, but actually doing it is confidence building
[19:12] <AlanBell> and it is useful for loco teams to have people who can chair meetings
[19:12] <AlanBell> and useful for this project to provide such people to loco teams
[19:12] <czajkowski> aye in ireland we have our point of contact do it always
[19:13] <czajkowski> which works well as he's used to it by now and meetings run smoothly and dont get dragged out
[19:13] <AlanBell> sure, and that is fine
[19:13] <czajkowski> aye aand in UK ye rotate it
[19:14] <AlanBell> yes, we like to spread it about a bit
[19:14] <czajkowski> I do think it'd be better to let a person do 2 meetings, so they get used to it the 1st time and find it easier the 2nd time
[19:14] <AlanBell> yup
[19:15] <czajkowski> each team does it differently :)
[19:15] <czajkowski> tis interesting
[19:22] <nigelb> czajkowski: Its something like a skill we'd like to teach our members
[19:22] <nigelb> It does make sense since its re-useable at loco level or any other ubuntu meeting they end up being part  of
