[17:42] <superfly> Maaz_: I am Raoul Snyman
[17:42] <Maaz_> superfly: Sure
[17:42] <superfly> maiatoday yes
[17:43] <maiatoday> cool! Thanks that's great now I must just make sure I don't post weird events on the calendar hehe
[17:43] <superfly> Maiatoday and drubin's backup and restore did happen, iirc
[17:43] <maiatoday> yay we are so efficient, thanks superfly and drubin
[17:44] <maiatoday> we didn't discuss the OpenOffice in schools on the mailing list.
[17:44] <nlsthzn> ... and now school is closed
[17:45] <magespawn> get in for the new year
[17:45] <maiatoday> do we need make a note to do something?
[17:45] <drubin> smorar: shout if you have any questions
[17:45] <smorar> drubin: will do
[17:45] <drubin> maiatoday: we should make a note
[17:45] <drubin> sorry been a bit distracted adn typing is hard
[17:46] <maiatoday> Maaz_: agreed make a discussion on the Mailing list about OpenOffice in schools
[17:46] <Maaz_> Agreed: make a discussion on the Mailing list about OpenOffice in schools
[17:46] <magespawn> may i put something up?
[17:46] <maiatoday> go ahead magespawn 
[17:47] <maiatoday> ok the geeknic happened
[17:47] <maiatoday> it was small but fun
[17:47] <maiatoday> very relaxing
[17:48] <maiatoday> I made the link to the facebook group on ubuntu-za.org so that item is done too
[17:48] <nuvolari> great :/ I missed out on the first part of the meeting :P
[17:48] <nuvolari> Maaz_: I am Johan Mynhardt
[17:48] <Maaz_> nuvolari: Sure
[17:48] <maiatoday> there will be minutes and archives nuvolari 
[17:48] <nuvolari> cool thanks maiatoday
[17:49] <nlsthzn> nuvolari: welcome :)
[17:49] <maiatoday> any comments on fanpage vs group on facebook?
[17:49] <nuvolari> nlsthzn: thanks :>
[17:49] <nuvolari> I vote for fanpage
[17:49]  * nlsthzn thinks facebook is evil and wishes diaspora will hurry up!
[17:49] <superfly> Maiatoday we raised it previously
[17:49] <nuvolari> we do most of the "group" management in other ways
[17:50] <maiatoday> yes I am going through the previous minutes
[17:50] <DraZoro> I vote for fanpage as well. 
[17:50] <smorar> I vote for fanpage too
[17:50] <superfly> A group doesn't actually work that well, but a fan page is stuck to one particular person, and you have to ask FB to fix it
[17:50] <nlsthzn> the minustes seem a bit inconplete (as far as I can see)
[17:51] <maiatoday> ok well I am not going to do more facebook maintence than what we currently do, if anyone wants to change this and has experience they are welcome to help out with this
[17:51] <nlsthzn> *minutes *incomplete
[17:51] <superfly> But yes, a fan page is much better
[17:51] <superfly> Maiatoday i can create a page
[17:51] <maiatoday> great!
[17:52] <maiatoday> Maaz_: Agreed superfly will make a fanpage for ubuntu-za
[17:52] <Maaz_> Agreed: superfly will make a fanpage for ubuntu-za
[17:52] <superfly> (when I have Internet again)
[17:52]  * DraZoro hopes magespawn will re-spawn once again 
[17:52] <maiatoday> we are having the meeting so I skip over that item
[17:53] <maiatoday> Also I did take the cds to Pretoria and Jo'burg and handed them out at the Ubuntu Hour and at Wits
[17:53] <magespawn> sorry all i am on gprs in a storm
[17:53] <maiatoday> drubin, did we get some cds to cape town?
[17:54]  * DraZoro should distribute in UNISA as well. 
[17:54] <drubin> maiatoday: a few not that many
[17:54] <nuvolari> oh dear :'( my 1/! key is on its way out
[17:54] <maiatoday> drubin can people contact you for cds?
[17:54] <drubin> but last one they got 2 boxes
[17:54] <drubin> maiatoday: I have a few yes
[17:55] <nlsthzn> as an official loco, how many CD's of a release do you (we) get?
[17:55] <maiatoday> yikes dunno? drubin ^
[17:56] <maiatoday> are we ready to move onto the agend?
[17:56] <maiatoday> agenda?
[17:56] <superfly> Ya
[17:56] <DraZoro> Yes
[17:56] <nlsthzn> seems so :)
[17:56] <maiatoday> we already talked about the backup, is there anything that needs to be added?
[17:57] <drubin> nlsthzn: +- 300
[17:57]  * drubin is really out of it
[17:57] <nlsthzn> drubin: thanks (good to know)
[17:57] <maiatoday> ok we already talked about the geeknic too :D any comments?
[17:57] <maiatoday> next time I'll try to pick a time when there are more people available
[17:57] <superfly> :( i couldn't make it 
[17:58] <maiatoday> next time I'll try to pick a time when there are less bugs bugging people too
[17:58] <nlsthzn> what was the main issue, the time or the venue?
[17:58] <maiatoday> I think the time, becaue the students had left already
[17:58] <superfly> Ya
[17:58] <maiatoday> and people were sick
[17:59] <nlsthzn> sucks
[17:59] <maiatoday> Ok Ubuntu Hour in Durban!!! fantastic
[18:00] <nuvolari> :D
[18:00] <nlsthzn> congrats on the first one!
[18:00] <nlsthzn> lekka by die see
[18:00] <nuvolari> whoop! it was fun
[18:00] <nuvolari> well, not right by the sea
[18:00] <nlsthzn> should have been in the sea :)
[18:00]  * drubin thinks we should wrap up
[18:00] <drubin> considering there aren't any agenda items left
[18:00] <maiatoday> it is the last item drubin
[18:00] <drubin> woohoo
[18:00] <maiatoday> I wanted to say thanks to the ubuntu hour durban people and wrap up
[18:00] <drubin> congrsats guys
[18:00] <superfly> i saw some activity about it on the list today but didn't have a chance to read - was there feedback?
[18:01] <maiatoday> one post
[18:01] <nuvolari> and on the mailing list
[18:01] <nlsthzn> no pics? :(
[18:01] <maiatoday> it would be great to have some pics and a blog post next time too
[18:01] <nuvolari> one reply :P
[18:01] <nuvolari> no :/ was a bit dark for my flash-less android
[18:01]  * nlsthzn thinks Durbanites are to laid back to worry about suck things
[18:01] <nuvolari> we plan to not have one venue
[18:02] <nuvolari> but rather to go places
[18:02] <maiatoday> ok anybody who wants to do an Ubuntu Hour just ask us and we;ll help you with getting all the posts in various spots sorted
[18:02] <nuvolari> as we're kinda scattered over a large area
[18:02] <nlsthzn> seems a decent stratagy
[18:02] <nuvolari> William shared his apt-mirrors
[18:03] <nuvolari> like 60Gb's repos
[18:03] <maiatoday> ok I am gonna end the meeting, going going ....
[18:03] <nlsthzn> when the next one?
[18:03] <maiatoday> gone
[18:03] <nuvolari> ok fine

[18:03] <nlsthzn> lol... you guys in a hurry :)
[18:04] <nlsthzn> its a Monday, nothing good on TV
[18:04] <maiatoday> nah we can chat, I just hate meetings that carry on for ever
[18:04] <superfly> Maiatoday likes to keep things short and sweet
[18:04] <nuvolari> ya, durban isn't important enough :P
[18:04] <Morganvd> haha
[18:04] <nlsthzn> np, thanks for the meeting guys
[18:04] <maiatoday> no sorry nuvolari I didn't mean it that way
[18:04] <Morganvd> maiatoday: what if someone wanted to say something
[18:04] <nlsthzn> if the peeps in the UAE wants to go official I will have some idea what to do, expect
[18:04]  * Morganvd hides
[18:04] <nuvolari> pfft, whatever you say oh queen bee :P
[18:04] <tumbleweed> wow, that was quick and easy
[18:05]  * tumbleweed didn't even have to say anything :)
[18:05] <nuvolari> Maaz_: ping
[18:05] <Maaz_> nuvolari: pong
[18:06] <nlsthzn> tumbleweed: you used the power of your mind
[18:06] <Morganvd> quick question fo rthe gnome users
[18:06] <maiatoday> Morganvd: I am not going to stop anyone from saying anything
[18:06] <Morganvd> its was a joke maiatoday 
[18:06] <Morganvd> chillax
[18:07] <Morganvd> what does everyone think about 11.04 desktop goin unity?
[18:07] <nlsthzn> gr8, vbox needs me to add myself to its group then log back in... so I guess I will be back in a few...
[18:07] <maiatoday> hmmm unity on my netbook is sort of sluggish
[18:09] <nuvolari> OT: anyone flying R/C heli's? Need to find out about transmitters capable of connecting to flight simulator software
[18:09] <smorar> Morganvd: I love the unity concept - so assuming that performance and usability issues are mostly sorted, i'll be happy :)
[18:10] <smorar> Morganvd: i have maverick builds for the compiz version of unity a ppa if you're interested in giving it a poke without upgrading yet
[18:11] <nlsthzn> I just wonder if unity is going to be mature enough come 11.04
[18:12] <Morganvd> well it seems its in no matter what
[18:12] <Morganvd> i use it on my netbook
[18:12] <maiatoday> okedoke, minutes updated here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZATeam/Meetings/20101213
[18:12] <Morganvd> and must say i loved the 10.04 version alot more than the 10.10
[18:12] <nlsthzn> tried unity on my netbook... just to slow...
[18:12]  * tumbleweed tried unity, it irritates me
[18:13] <tumbleweed> (and it's not slow on my laptop)
[18:13] <maiatoday> somethings are better with unity like the desktops but it is sticky
[18:13] <maiatoday> and I haven't found the magic key to jump to the workspaces view
[18:13] <Morganvd> windows key e
[18:14] <Morganvd> super e
[18:14] <maiatoday> no
[18:14] <maiatoday> doesn't work for me
[18:14] <Morganvd> yip
[18:14] <maiatoday> the super key makes numbers appear on the icons but e does nothing
[18:14] <Morganvd> i c 10.10 changed it
[18:14] <Morganvd> yeah 
[18:14] <Morganvd> super + number = app
[18:15] <maiatoday> and the purple workspace icon doesn't have a number :(
[18:15] <maiatoday> and there are only 10 numbers
[18:15] <Morganvd> mine  is super 8
[18:15] <Morganvd> for workspac
[18:16] <Morganvd> you can also install gnome-panel
[18:16] <Morganvd> maiatoday: what netbook do you have
[18:16] <maiatoday> samsung nc10
[18:16] <Morganvd> i have a hp mini 210
[18:17] <Morganvd> ram?
