[20:20] czajkowski: the concern was receiving CDs mid May might not be the best time for Colleges. [20:20] nods [20:20] well end of april in theory they should be out the first week in may [20:22] Yeah indeed, but we are looking for the views of the comp socs. Totally up to them.

[20:29] [TOPIC] 11.04 Release Party? [20:29] New Topic: 11.04 Release Party? [20:30] oh where are ye off to this year [20:30] nothing natty related in bars is there [20:30] or a trip to the zoo :) [20:30] I just wanted to start the discussion on this [20:30] corkscrew looks like a narwhal horn? :-) [20:30] czajkowski you are spot on. [20:31] I was thinking something nautical [20:31] moylan, have you somewhere in mind? [20:31] have a picni [20:31] geeknic? [20:32] or there is the cafe which is meerkat cafe but still a chance for family and a bit of fun [20:32] aye could make it a geeknic [20:32] that is weather dependent but if chosen carefully we could find a park with shelter if there is rain. [20:32] must pop away for just a minute [20:32] back soon [20:32] is that a bank holiday weekend ? [20:33] geeknics are fun. nerds in not their natural habitat. away from wifi and power sources. [20:33] aye [20:33] but also means more people may be inclined to come [20:33] also to note, if the weekend doesnt suit [20:33] you're not limited to that weekend...... [20:35] apr 30, may 1st followed by bank holiday. [20:36] aye geeknic is an idea [20:36] we had planned geeknics for June and Aug this year [20:36] not a great weekend if people are having a holiday or want to head away [20:36] I think it is the easter break for achools also [20:37] *schools [20:37] nods [20:37] yup [20:37] well it be nice to know if ye put it out a weekend more people would turn up [20:37] not sure it makes a massive difference [20:37] need some Dublinites to help out on this one [20:37] but if you use a week night you can get people who are already in the city. [20:38] * airurando likes the idea of the zoo [20:38] about how many people turned out for the last launch parties. it might help as a frame of reference. [20:38] moylan: see the pics we've gone for dinner/drinks combo [20:38] woeked out well [20:39] we;ve gotten 14-24 people it depends really [20:40] yeah Saturday worked out well last time [20:40] not enough folks here to decide anything tonight I fear. [20:41] I'll e-mail the list looking for input [20:41] would more people come to an event on sunday. for many saturday is a day to get things done while shops are open. [20:41] or sport events [20:42] lack of feedback on the ML is annoying at times [20:42] :( [20:42] yeah [20:42] but must keep trying [20:42] aye [20:42] to be honest i think the ML is a bad way of doing it [20:43] wonder would a joint mail to python and ILUG saying we're doing an event [20:43] want to come along ? [20:43] imgarysmith: how do we contact the loco people so ? [20:43] imgarysmith: the Ubutu ie loco has a ML and many dont use irc [20:44] a blog i think would be better, i know people have to go to the blog but feedback would be visually easier [20:44] imgarysmith: could you do a section on the release party during the next podcast? [20:44] imgarysmith: ok a blog is good, but how do you get them to read the blog post? [20:44] we do blog and put to the ML also [20:45] doesn't the website incorporate a blog? [20:45] yup [20:45] airurando, ye sure, im not sure what is happening with the podcast this month since quinne (infoturtle) has no internet connection [20:46] if duplicating an e-mail on a blog to facilitate feedback is considered a good idea I'm all for it. [20:46] laura, i just feel reading replies in the ML is difficult. reading blog comments would be much easier [20:46] nods [20:46] czajkowski what do you think? [20:46] imgarysmith: it's 50/50 tbh but the more places to get feedback the better [20:47] imgarysmith: I'd love that problem. Unfirtunately we don't get much feedback on the mailing list [20:47] true but i think we might get more feedback in blog posts [20:47] so lets blog and ML and explain we do need feedback [20:47] ye sounds good [20:48] might try this for the release party posting on the Ubuntu-ie.org blog [20:48] great stuff [20:49] airurando, ill mention it in the podcast for people to go to the blog, and explain its a test to see if we want to replace the ML or use both side by side [20:49] #i'd never say replace the ML [20:50] another tool perhaps [20:50] [ACTION] airurando to mail list re release party. blogs to be used to ask for feedback. [20:50] ACTION received: airurando to mail list re release party. blogs to be used to ask for feedback. [20:50] not fully replace it, use it for info only, no feedback on it [20:51] airurando: next up ? [20:51] aye. [20:51] [TOPIC] LoCo Directory for meetings [20:51] New Topic: LoCo Directory for meetings [20:52] over to you czajkowski [20:52] Cheers [20:52] so we have the LD [20:52] loco.ubuntu.com [20:52] and we use it for events [20:52] some teams want to have more information on there like meetings [20:52] so the developers have developed that feature [20:52] [link] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2011-February/005226.html [20:52] LINK received: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2011-February/005226.html [20:53] just wondering would the team consider using it and if they like it contrinue and if not, perhaps give some feedback [20:53] [link] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ [20:53] LINK received: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ [20:53] you can see all the teams using the feature now [20:53] czajkowski, I've used it for the last two meetings [20:53] excellent [20:54] that's all really [20:54] just wanted to highlight it [20:54] I like it but have some feature requests [20:54] and if folks had any issues thoughts to bring it up to the DEV [20:54] seems good [20:54] airurando: sure you can talk in #ubuntu-locoteams [20:54] and talk to the developers [20:54] or file bugs [20:54] bugs may or may not get developed on [20:54] tried once but they must have all been sleeping [20:54] well after this if you want I'll go in and intriduce you [20:55] will try the #ubuntu-locoteams channel again [20:55] okie dokie [20:55] thats me done [20:55] no need you introducced me before [20:55] right oh [20:55] [TOPIC] AOB [20:55] New Topic: AOB [20:56] anyone?
