[20:14] <airurando> first
[20:14] <airurando> ebel will chance up with canonical/ubuntu loco with how/if to change address
[20:15] <airurando> I know ebel has looked into this.
[20:15] <airurando> Not sure if he has completed the process
[20:15] <airurando> second action
[20:15] <airurando> ebel will give airurando the list of 10.10 recieptients, airurando will email them to solicit feedback
[20:15] <airurando> this one is completed
[20:16] <czajkowski> cool
[20:16] <airurando> We are awaiting feedback.
[20:16] <airurando> Went to many comp socs and hackerspaces
[20:17] <airurando> will report back on this again next month
[20:17] <imgarysmith> 11.04 is a bad time for comp socs
[20:17] <airurando> imgarysmith: that was one of the points raised in the e-mail
[20:18] <czajkowski> tis the end of April
[20:19] <airurando> [ACTION] airurando will report back next month on any feedback received from the natty distribution e-mail
[20:19] <MootBot> ACTION received:  airurando will report back next month on any feedback received from the natty distribution e-mail
[20:19] <imgarysmith> airurando, as i said earlier i havent had a chance to read over the email, sorry for repeating the content
[20:19] <airurando> imgarysmith no bother at all.
[20:20] <airurando> czajkowski: the concern was receiving CDs mid May might not be the best time for Colleges.
[20:20] <czajkowski> nods
[20:20] <czajkowski> well end of april in theory they should be out the first week in may
[20:22] <airurando> Yeah indeed, but we are looking for the views of the comp socs.  Totally up to them.
[20:22] <airurando> next action to be reviewed
[20:22] <czajkowski> nods
[20:23] <airurando> airurando will take the CDs
[20:23] <airurando> no further comment necessary
[20:23] <airurando> next one
[20:23] <airurando> look for venues for jam
[20:24] <airurando> need others here to report on progress.
[20:24] <airurando> possibility exists for a Dub and Limerick Jam
[20:25] <airurando> infoturtle is leading the charge in Limerick and tdr112 has submitted a request to TOG for use of their space
[20:25] <airurando> hopefully things will become clear soon
[20:25] <czajkowski> great stuff
[20:26] <airurando> I'll generate the events as soon as they are confirmed (fingers crossed)
[20:27] <airurando> [ACTION] airurando to create UGJ events for the Irish LoCo when they are confirmed.
[20:27] <MootBot> ACTION received:  airurando to create UGJ events for the Irish LoCo when they are confirmed.
[20:28] <airurando> now on to the main agenda items.
[20:28] <airurando> [TOPIC] Ubuntu Global Jam
[20:28] <MootBot> New Topic:  Ubuntu Global Jam
[20:28] <airurando> same again here.
[20:29] <airurando> waiting for venue and event confirmation.
[20:29] <airurando> will move on.
[20:29] <airurando> [TOPIC] 11.04 Release Party?
[20:29] <MootBot> New Topic:  11.04 Release Party?
[20:30] <czajkowski> oh where are ye off to this year
[20:30] <czajkowski> nothing natty related in bars is there
[20:30] <czajkowski> or a trip to the zoo :)
[20:30] <airurando> I just wanted to start the discussion on this
[20:30] <moylan> corkscrew looks like a narwhal horn? :-)
[20:30] <airurando> czajkowski you are spot on.
[20:31] <airurando> I was thinking something nautical
[20:31] <airurando> moylan, have you somewhere in mind?
[20:31] <czajkowski> have a picni
[20:31] <moylan> geeknic?
[20:32] <czajkowski> or there is the cafe which is meerkat cafe but still a chance for family and a bit of fun
[20:32] <czajkowski> aye could make it a geeknic
[20:32] <moylan> that is weather dependent but if chosen carefully we could find a park with shelter if there is rain.
[20:32] <airurando> must pop away for just a minute
[20:32] <airurando> back soon
[20:32] <czajkowski> is that a bank holiday weekend ?
[20:33] <moylan> geeknics are fun.  nerds in not their natural habitat.  away from wifi and power sources.
[20:33] <czajkowski> aye
[20:33] <czajkowski> but also means more people may be inclined to come
[20:33] <czajkowski> also to note, if the weekend doesnt suit
[20:33] <czajkowski> you're not limited to that weekend......
[20:35] <moylan> apr 30, may 1st followed by bank holiday.
[20:36] <airurando> aye geeknic is an idea
[20:36] <airurando> we had planned geeknics for June and Aug this year
[20:36] <czajkowski> not a great weekend if people are having a holiday or want to head away
[20:36] <airurando> I think it is the easter break for achools also
[20:37] <airurando> *schools
[20:37] <czajkowski> nods
[20:37] <czajkowski> yup
[20:37] <czajkowski> well it be nice to know if ye put it out a weekend more people would turn up
[20:37] <czajkowski> not sure it makes a massive difference
[20:37] <airurando> need some Dublinites to help out on this one
[20:37] <moylan> 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] <moylan> about how many people turned out for the last launch parties.  it might help as a frame of reference.
[20:38] <czajkowski> moylan: see the pics we've gone for dinner/drinks combo
[20:38] <czajkowski> woeked out well
[20:39] <czajkowski> we;ve gotten 14-24 people it depends really
[20:40] <airurando> yeah Saturday worked out well last time
[20:40] <airurando> not enough folks here to decide anything tonight I fear.
[20:41] <airurando> I'll e-mail the list looking for input
[20:41] <moylan> 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] <moylan> or sport events
[20:42] <czajkowski> lack of feedback on the ML is annoying at times
[20:42] <czajkowski> :(
[20:42] <airurando> yeah
[20:42] <airurando> but must keep trying
[20:42] <czajkowski> aye
[20:42] <imgarysmith> to be honest i think the ML is a bad way of doing it
[20:43] <czajkowski> wonder would a joint mail to python and ILUG saying we're doing an event
[20:43] <czajkowski> want to come along ?
[20:43] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: how do we contact the loco people so ?
[20:43] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: the Ubutu ie loco has a ML and many dont  use irc
[20:44] <imgarysmith> a blog i think would be better, i know people have to go to the blog but feedback would be visually easier
[20:44] <airurando> imgarysmith: could you do a section on the release party during the next podcast?
[20:44] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: ok a blog is good, but how do you get them to read the blog post?
[20:44] <czajkowski> we do blog and put to the ML also
[20:45] <airurando> doesn't the website incorporate a blog?
[20:45] <czajkowski> yup
[20:45] <imgarysmith> airurando, ye sure, im not sure what is happening with the podcast this month since quinne (infoturtle) has no internet connection
[20:46] <airurando> if duplicating an e-mail on a blog to facilitate feedback is considered a good idea I'm all for it.
[20:46] <imgarysmith> laura, i just feel reading replies in the ML is difficult. reading blog comments would be much easier
[20:46] <czajkowski> nods
[20:46] <airurando> czajkowski what do you think?
[20:46] <czajkowski> imgarysmith: it's 50/50 tbh but the more places to get feedback the better
[20:47] <airurando> imgarysmith: I'd love that problem.  Unfirtunately we don't get much feedback on the mailing list
[20:47] <imgarysmith> true but i think we might get more feedback in blog posts
[20:47] <czajkowski> so lets blog and ML and explain we do need feedback
[20:47] <imgarysmith> ye sounds good
[20:48] <airurando> might try this for the release party posting on the Ubuntu-ie.org blog
[20:48] <airurando> great stuff
[20:49] <imgarysmith> 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] <czajkowski> #i'd never say replace the ML
[20:50] <czajkowski> another tool perhaps
[20:50] <airurando> [ACTION] airurando to mail list re release party. blogs to be used to ask for feedback.
[20:50] <MootBot> ACTION received:  airurando to mail list re release party. blogs to be used to ask for feedback.
[20:50] <imgarysmith> not fully replace it, use it for info only, no feedback on it
[20:51] <czajkowski> airurando: next up ?
[20:51] <airurando> aye.
[20:51] <airurando> [TOPIC] LoCo Directory for meetings
[20:51] <MootBot> New Topic:  LoCo Directory for meetings
[20:52] <airurando> over to you czajkowski
[20:52] <czajkowski> Cheers
[20:52] <czajkowski> so we have the LD
[20:52] <czajkowski> loco.ubuntu.com
[20:52] <czajkowski> and we use it for events
[20:52] <czajkowski> some teams want to have more information on there like meetings
[20:52] <czajkowski> so the developers have developed that feature
[20:52] <czajkowski> [link] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2011-February/005226.html
[20:52] <MootBot> LINK received:  https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2011-February/005226.html
