[19:07] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [19:08] Good evening everyone and thanks for attending [19:08] If you are here for the monthly meeting please indicate so by typing “PRESENT” [19:08] PRESENT [19:08] PRESENT [19:08] PRESENT [19:08] PRESENT [19:08] The wiki page for this meeting is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2011-07-20 [19:09] PRESENT [19:09] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2011-07-20 [19:09] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2011-07-20 [19:09] on to the agenda items [19:10] [TOPIC] Review of previous action items [19:10] New Topic: Review of previous action items [19:10] During the June meeting there was one task actioned. [19:10] czajkowski to ask BK [19:11] more specifically [19:11] czajkowski to ask Blacknight to extend their sponsored hosting offer for our website [19:11] * ebel must apologise [19:11] as far as I am aware this was done and we got a positive response from BK [19:12] i haven't looked into the BK and told czajkowski what she needs [19:12] BK have sponsored another year of hosting for us [19:12] good stuff [19:12] yes indeed thanks to BK [19:12] ebel: what needs to be done? [19:13] i need to tell czajkowski who wil tell canonical sysadmins the ip address of the bk hosting [19:13] so they can change www.ubuntu-ie.org to point to thr bk hosting [19:13] is everything set up on the BK side? [19:14] the people redoing our hosting (can't remember names) said it's easier if the real domains pointed over [19:14] as of last meeting, bk hosting wasn't configured yet [19:14] I don't understand the detail [19:15] id we point from one to the next and the next isn't ready won't we have downtime? [19:16] yes there would be downtimes [19:16] hmm [19:16] what to do? [19:16] the people volunteering said it would be ~ weekend [19:17] it only occured to me afterwards about downtime [19:17] (after irc meeting) [19:18] ebel: yes just mail me and I'll file the RT [19:18] is it to hard to get the whole thing set up on BK and then get canonical to do the forwarding thing? [19:19] I dont know the bk side of things [19:19] yes, you could put the ip address in your /etc/hosts [19:19] the Canonical side is an email and can take a few days or hours depending on how busy they are [19:19] which lets you 'pretend' that www.ubuntu-ie.org is at BK for just your machine, everyone else sees the old one [19:21] ebel: can you define the steps to be taken from this point to effect a smooth transition. [19:22] * ebel can't remember if he mentioned this at the last irc meeting [19:23] * airurando can't either [19:23] someone check logs for who offered to do the hosting [19:23] tis a bit silly talking about it without them [19:23] * airurando doesn't understand anyway [19:24] infoturtle wern't you and thethomaseffect involved? [19:24] I was ages ago but there has been work since without me and I'm unsure where things are at [19:25] at a high level (keep it simple for me please...) [19:26] should the webmasters not get thinks fully set up on BK hosting first? [19:26] *things [19:26] cost benefit trade offs [19:26] oh crikey I don't even understand that.... [19:26] also abilities. things that make things easier for one party can make things harder for others [19:27] how can we move this forward? [19:27] who's doing the web hosting? [19:27] blacknight [19:28] isn't that right? [19:28] and no matter what i do need to tell czajkowski details for our hosting [19:28] yes, BK are doing hosting. i meant who in ubuntu-ie is our web maintainer? who's setting it up?P [19:29] thethomaseffect? [19:29] it was me and thethomaseffect but I think he's done more on it since I last helped, which was months ago [19:30] shall we shelve it? [19:30] seems a bit like rock and hard place to me. [19:31] no point in you & me deciding what someone else will do, that person needs to be here to talk about it [19:31] cool [19:31] shelved [19:31] * ebel suggests waiting till we can talk to web hoster [19:31] * ebel should refresh his memory from minutes] [19:31] moving on [19:31] * ebel is very unprepared [19:32] [TOPIC] Oneiric Ocelot Ubuntu Global Jam [19:32] New Topic: Oneiric Ocelot Ubuntu Global Jam [19:32] I raised this item. [19:32] when is it [19:33] Ubuntu Global Jam for Oneiric Ocelot takes place from 2nd to 4th of September. [19:33] I just thought we should start planning for it now. [19:34] Details of this Global event can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam [19:34] [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam [19:34] LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam [19:34] It would be great to keep both Dublin and Limerick up and running and if possible even add to them. [19:34] I believe the more we participate in these Jams the more productive we will become during them. [19:34] Thoughts anyone? [19:35] agreed [19:35] I love them despite not helping much [19:35] more that come the better [19:35] infoturtle will you lead Limerick again? [19:35] ++ [19:35] Sorry new... I'll ask around 091labs for any interest [19:35] I mean I'm new here [19:36] Carles-091labs welcome! [19:36] sure, I can see who I can talk to, UL is out till sept 5th AFAIK so I duno how I can do this [19:36] It would be great if something was set up for Galway [19:36] * airurando loves Galway [19:36] went to College there in the 80s and 90s [19:36] Carles-091labs: welcome! no apology needed. anything we can do to help, jsut ask [19:37] lots of our members use Ubuntu as our main OS. Hopefully will get some interest [19:37] Carles-091labs that is great [19:37] what are the numbers at the current 2 locations at the last jam. by having more locations are we not lessening the numbers that turn up at those locations? [19:37] have a look at the wiki page detailed above [19:37] i will ask if tog will host the dublin one again or we can try some where new [19:38] and as ebel said let us know if we can be of any help [19:38] having a look at the wiki as we speak [19:38] moylan: there were 5 at the limerick one, none of us would have made it to Dublin for it [19:38] tdr112 tog would be great [19:39] infoturtle: 5 is better than none [19:39] moylan limerick of Galway folk are less likely to attend Dublin anyway [19:39] and its nice to have an alternative venue [19:39] 5 is a decent umber [19:39] think we had 3 or 4 in dub :P [19:39] no arguements there but i worry that if there is a galway one there will be less than 5 at limerick [19:39] czajkowski of course, thus why multi location is a good idea [19:40] I think it would be great to get better communication streams up between locations [19:40] what would be the best way to communicate [19:40] moylan: all the ones at the limerick one were from Limerick [19:40] Don't think they'll go to Galway for one [19:40] fair enough! i sit corrected :-) [19:41] Carles-091labs at the mo all we have is IRC [19:41] we toyed with the idea of ebel on Ustream last time [19:41] I don't mean to belittle, I just can't track to Dublin for them and like the set up [19:41] would be nice to have some video streaming on the day... ustream stream perhaps? [19:41] it worked well the last day 1 day face to face [19:41] and if we want to do more [19:41] we can all do stuff via irc [19:42] at the end of the day we're all on irc to help one another over the day [19:42] and as always [19:42] we can build on things global Jam to global Jam [19:42] i can set up a ustream for the day or skype [19:42] that would be great [19:43] I think it would be brilliant to get the three location up and running :) [19:43] so are thinking one day in person and one day one irc again [19:44] Carles-091labs can I action you to investigate the possibility of hosting one in Galway [19:44] no pressure [19:44] hosting what exacly?
