MichelleQ2chloric was around earlier today, but I haven't seen him recently00:57
itnet7Hey there MichelleQ! He's the only one that had an agenda item00:58
itnet7I still want to bring up his topic though00:58
MichelleQ2I couldn't remember if we had a meeting or not.  :-P  don't even know what day of the week it is.00:58
itnet7because I think it would be cool to have a discussion on what the team thinks about "Promotional Events"00:59
X-Manhello everyone00:59
itnet7Hey there X-Man !00:59
itnet7Hopefully there will be a bit of discussion, and then we can end the meeting a little early01:00
itnet7:-)01:00

itnet7Hey there reya276 !01:01
reya276trying to stay awake, they got me working like a slave01:01
itnet7I am going to ask Alanbell for an enhancement request to mootbot to Anounce the start of athe meeting01:01
MichelleQ2mhall119 is putting kids to bed01:01
itnet7Ah! No worries reya276 01:02
itnet7I just thought we would discuss chloric's topic01:02
itnet7[TOPIC] Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour01:02
Mootbot-UKNew Topic:  Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour 01:02
itnet7quick show of hands to see whether or not we have a couple of people that can weigh in thoughts on this01:03
itnet7o/01:03
X-Mano/01:04
itnet7If not we can hold off until next meeting....01:04
MichelleQ2o/01:04
X-ManSorry what is the Ubuntu Promotion Hour?01:04
* mhall119 is here01:04
itnet7Hey there mhall119 !01:04
itnet7X-Man: it's similar to a standard Ubuntu hour01:04
itnet7but01:04
itnet7their idea was to reserve a venue01:05
itnet7setup a pc, where passersby can try out Ubuntu01:05
X-ManThat sounds cool01:06
itnet7Browse the Web a bit, play some of the games01:06
itnet7Use the wordprocessor, gimp, etc01:06
itnet7showcase some Ubuntu goodness01:06
itnet7the thing I wanted to ask everyone about, is that chloric and govatent talked with flux which is similar to a LUG downsouth01:07
MichelleQ2that'd be cool01:07
MichelleQ2we could probably rummage up some equipment for the team to use01:07
itnet7and wanted to do stuff together with flux, but the leader of flux said they wouldn't participate in an "Ubuntu" only event01:07
itnet7Chloric was saying that he and govatent wanted to in that case showcase meego, and other Open source stuff like chromeos01:09
itnet7I don't think that's a big deal if flux were to head it up, and govatent and chloric wanted to support it01:10
itnet7but it shouldn't be advertised in my opinion as a "Ubuntu Florida Team" Event01:11
itnet7any thoughts?01:11
MichelleQ2seems reasonable to me01:11
X-Manme too01:11
MichelleQ2we can just support the effort, without making it a team sanctioned event01:11
itnet7Well, I don't want to discourage any help that we can give to others, but I do think it would be awkward to open an Ubuntu Hour to Maemo, etc. just to get some flux members to attend01:12
itnet7or is it trivial?01:13
MichelleQ2I don't know that it's a big deal one way or another01:14
itnet7I just said that I would ask them if it would be allright to send an invite to their mailing list01:16
X-ManThe event and should have something demoing  Ubuntu01:16
itnet7and let them know if they need support at installfests or other events, that we would be glad to help01:17
MichelleQ2seems reasonable01:17
itnet7Well, I just really wanted a gauge to see if I was the only one that felt that if the team is doing an event, that we should advocate Ubuntu is all01:18
itnet7Does anyone else have anything they would like to discuss, or any ideas to discuss?01:19
MichelleQ2nope, not at the moment. 01:19
itnet7[TOPIC] Open Meeting01:19
Mootbot-UKNew Topic:  Open Meeting 01:19

itnet7Then hopefully the next one will return to Florida01:20
X-Manreally?01:21
itnet7Thanks to you too MichelleQ you guys did a lot of work to help get that off the ground!!01:21
MichelleQ2itnet7: couldn't have done it without the team's help!01:21
X-ManThanks MIchelleQ01:21
itnet7Definitely01:21
MichelleQ2dantalizing, you, zoopster, everyone who was involved.  It was a spectacular success01:21
itnet7That's exactly what I told Mark S.01:22
MichelleQ2I had the utmost of compliments from Marianna.  She stopped me, and told me that in her years of doing UDS, she'd never seen anything like it before done by a team.01:22
itnet7That Rocks!!01:22
MichelleQ2I was touched.01:23
X-ManThat does Rock01:23
itnet7X-Man: it's definitely not confirmed, but it was absolutely discussed01:23
itnet7having it in Florida again01:23
X-ManI will be there this time01:23
itnet7Marianna said that we need wait to get the feedback01:23
itnet7but I think everyone loved the location!01:23
MichelleQ2I sure hope it happens - I *loved* being able to be around so many friends01:23
itnet7Definitely01:24
MichelleQ2we had a great night with the women's team being here, and then having houseguests for several days afterward01:24
itnet7I bet that all of you had a ball!!01:24
MichelleQ2It was a blast... and really, really, solidified the idea of family between several of us01:24
MichelleQ2If nothing else, UDS made me realize that I do have a place in this community thing, and that I have something important to contribute.  It was amazing.01:25
itnet7Oh, One thing... Let's make a concerted effort to try and utilize ubuntu-fl.org. If you're trying to use it and you see a problem let me know01:25
MichelleQ2definitely01:25
itnet7MichelleQ2: Absolutely01:25
itnet7There have been some discrepancies with rights, and openid, but I think were through the thick of it01:26
itnet7Florida Team's planet should be working flawlessly as well01:27
MichelleQ2awesome01:27
itnet7thanks to dantalizing !01:27

dantalizingmorning all19:25
mhall119ok, that was kind of my thoughts too, I just wasn't sure if the advantages of it being maintained by the repos was worth it19:25
