[20:08] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [20:08] If Welcome all, if you are here for the monthly meeting please indicate so by saying PRESENT [20:08] PRESENT [20:08] PRESENT [20:08] PRESENT [20:09] Present [20:09] PRESENT [20:09] The wiki page for this meeting, which includes the meeting agenda, is located at [20:09] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2010-11-17 [20:09] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2010-11-17 [20:09] We'll start off with a review of previous action items [20:09] PRESENT [20:09] We have a couple of old action items which relate to updating the Ubuntu-ie Loco Website [20:10] This appears to have gone off the boil for the moment so unless anyone objects I feel we should drop it from the agenda until somebody shows an interest in taking up this challenge. [20:10] what's needed? [20:10] any thoughts? [20:11] anyone wanna do it? [20:11] I have a feeling I am supposed to give someone else access, there's a few people who have access to the blacknight account [20:11] Sure if I knew what was needed to update [20:12] infoturtle` I suppose a willingness to take on the challenge and a ability with website design [20:12] have both of those [20:12] ebel: could you elaborate [20:12] airurando: essentially we have web hosting with blacknight [20:13] i.e. ubuntuie has a blacknight account username/password [20:13] with that you can access the blacknight control panel, install various LAMP web applications etc [20:13] i.e. everything you need to set up the website. [20:13] the webmistriss/webmaster will need this details to 'maintain the website'. [20:14] does anyone still have a link to shaunos mockup? [20:14] if anyone wants to be our webmistress/webmaster just let me know, and (unless other are opposed) I'll give it to 'em [20:14] I've given said details to other people already. [20:14] I'd be happy to do it, will it involve changing the layout or adding content? [20:15] infoturtle`: you can do as little and as much as you want. essentially we need a webmistriss/webmaster. [20:15] cool, I'll help with that [20:15] ^^, [20:15] excellent [20:15] anyone have any other input [20:16] not on this matter but I did want to ask something else [20:16] * ebel gives username/password to infoturtle` (see pm) [20:17] infoturtle` want to leave it to AOB section at the end?

[20:42] Is there any point in having Ubuntu Hours on the 29th and 30th of December? [20:42] nope [20:42] * slashtom and ebel will be in .uk then [20:42] yarp [20:42] airurando: how about teaming uo with python and ruby and alt.net for some sort of xmas thingy [20:43] airurando: remember the mails vicky send on re an event [20:43] czajkowski yeah got them [20:44] perhaps that can be done instead of an ubuntu hour for december? [20:44] czajkowski you propose calling that team quiz event a combined social event for December [20:44] yup [20:44] Good Idea [20:44] I likes it too [20:45] is it agreed that we will drop Ubuntu Hours for December?

[20:51] next item [20:52] [TOPIC] Our Loco Team Logo [20:52] New Topic: Our Loco Team Logo [20:52] Do we need a redesign? [20:52] Are we bound to using the new brand guidelines? [20:52] [LINK] http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ [20:52] LINK received: http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/ubuntu-brand-guidelines/ [20:53] at the last ubuntu hour in limerick, some one brought a design that i loved if ye want to look at the idea of it [20:53] its rough but the idea is there [20:53] Should we update the font at least? [20:53] infoturtle` yeah that was Hugh [20:53] sure was [20:54] Hugh Mulqueen an artist generated a logo which he posted to the forums some time ago. [20:54] [LINK]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463311 [20:54] LINK received: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1463311 [20:54] I've chatted to Hugh on the forums and discussed the possibility of a more subtle update to the logo. [20:54] He seemed keen. [20:54] Hoped he would be here tonight [20:55] does anyone have thought on this? [20:55] is it needed? [20:55] he was keen to let us use it at the meeting [20:56] so I'd say he'd be fine with it [20:56] chuffed even [20:57] infoturtle` based on the new branding I told Hugh I thought his design was a bit extreme. [20:57] czajkowski: can you provide any guidance on this? [20:58] ahh [20:58] well once a new logo is created [20:58] we can just ask canonical to check it#s ok [20:59] they come back within a few days [20:59] onces it's done poke me and I'll sort that bit out [21:00] I've seem the UK redesign and it does not differ from the official brand as much as loco designs in the past did. [21:00] nods [21:00] they had it checked out also [21:01] I don't believe there is scope for much artistic license [21:01] but we can tidy up the font [21:02] and folks can add stuff to the design [21:03] I liked Hugs effort and suggested he came up with something more subtle paying head to the new brand design guidelines [21:03] I'll try to contact Hugh Again [21:03] okie dokie [21:04] infoturtle` if you come across him can you let him know I want to talk to him?
