[11:15] Hi folks [11:15] I'm a member of the Swiss LoCo, and I'll be moving to Ireland in the next couple of months [11:16] so I wanted to jump in and say hi :) [11:16] hello Tribaal [11:17] how active are you guys? The page linked seems pretty active [11:17] Ah relatively. [11:17] We had a geeknic (geek picnic) last weekend [11:17] we have regular irc meetings. (coming up soon, so you can pop along if you want to see stuff) [11:18] nice :) [11:18] geeknics sound like fun [11:19] we'll be taking part in the ubuntu global jam soon, another event you can come along to [11:19] where in ireland are you moving too? [11:19] Dublin [11:19] Most ubuntu-ie activity happens in dublin. [11:19] my wife and I are pretty scared (it's the first time we move abroad) [11:19] good to know [11:19] :) [11:21] So how many people were there at the geeknic? [11:21] varied. last one was small, only 4. :P [11:21] soon the weather will turn against us :) [11:22] There's also a hackerspace in dublin (TOG), if you're looking around [11:22] Ohhhh interesting [11:22] ubuntu-ie also does semi-regular intermitant meet ups in pubs thoughout the yera [11:22] are you on the mailing list? we also have an identica/twitter account [11:22] not yet [11:23] It just occured to me "hey I spend my days on IRC, why not start by hopping on the ubuntu LoCo channel [11:23] http://twitter.com/#!/ubuntuie [11:23] this channel is usually pretty active [11:24] http://identi.ca/ubuntuie [11:25] Followin' [11:25] :) [11:38] thanks ebel [11:43] anyone know how to add a file to a .war in ubuntu [11:45] is it just a zip file with a .war file ending? (i.e. maybe you can unzip add file, re-zip) [11:47] it is a zip , [11:47] aloha [11:47] so tar is not the one to use [11:49] you can "sudo aptitude install unzip" then "zip whatever.war [list of files or folder]" === ShaneM is now known as shanem [18:57] The minutes show that we've had this meeting apparently.... http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/team/153/detail/ [18:57] well the loco directory entry for this meeting has details filled in [19:02] anyone around for the meeting [19:02] present [19:03] hi carles-091labs [19:03] hi [19:03] we'll start in a few more mins [19:03] I was just wondering who was online [19:04] i'm here [19:04] hi moylan [19:05] G'day all [19:05] howdy thelodger [19:05] ebel ping [19:05] hi airurando.

[19:14] #link http://groups.google.com/group/limerick-hackerspace/browse_thread/thread/5a63ceb814efbc13 [19:14] the above listed e-mail thread gives a good indication of the progress that has been made so far. [19:15] infoturtle has done great work on this and hopefully it will all fall into place for him [19:15] About the Jam on September [19:16] I was going to host one in 091labs but just yesterday i got the news from jefrey about going to electric picnic [19:16] so, I won't be able to host it. Not sure if any of our members will take my place [19:17] Thats a pity but not to worry. [19:18] we'll wait for confirmation from infoturtle before promoting UGJ Limerick [19:18] carles-091labs definately next time eh? ;) [19:19] I'm at the space at the moment and talking with some of the members. One of them said that he will do it [19:19] cool :) [19:19] we can chat on that in a minute [19:19] ok [19:19] but that is brilliant. [19:20] #topic ACTION: tdr112 will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin [19:20] TOPIC: ACTION: tdr112 will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin [19:20] I know tdr112 asked TOG. [19:20] no confirmation as of yet though. [19:20] ebel do you know anything on this? [19:21] Yes [19:21] I will be organising the Dubin global jam in TOG [19:21] (at least I'll be approaching TOG about this) [19:21] I haven't done it yet, since tdr112 only told me yesterday [19:22] OK [19:22] But I'll do it within the next few days. It'll take ~ 5 days to get word back from the tog members to confirm/reject it [19:22] so we'll know within 5 or 6 days if we can have UGJ at TOG. I am optimistic [19:22] OK we'll leave it at that [19:23] #action ebel will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin [19:23] ACTION: ebel will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin [19:23] moving on [19:23] the last action from July was [19:23] #topic ACTION: moylan to generate a doodle poll to decide on the location for the August geeknic [19:23] TOPIC: ACTION: moylan to generate a doodle poll to decide on the location for the August geeknic [19:24] moylan do you want to provide a synopsis? [19:25] first time using doodle. we got a fair number of votes and people selected st. stephens green. but about 1/3 who voted for their turned up. [19:25] at least the sun shone mostly [19:25] small turnout [19:25] can't really think of a better way to get the word out to more people. [19:25] but good company [19:26] good fun. i enjoyed it. pics will be good come next reapproval :-) [19:26] indeed [19:26] yep [19:26] slashtom has many :) [19:27] we'll move on to agenda items proper [19:27] found one on my samsung tab that's quite good. [19:27] #topic Ubuntu Global Jam [19:27] TOPIC: Ubuntu Global Jam [19:27] we have discussed venues already [19:28] Dublin and Limerick are in progress [19:28] Galway is also stepping up to the plate hopefully :) [19:29] carles-091labs you say you have news! [19:30] one of our members is going to host the event for me [19:30] :) [19:30] present [19:30] sorry guys for the late arrival [19:30] Not sure how succesfull this is going to be. I was looking forward to this... Next time i'll be there [19:30] hi mokmeister [19:30] hi [19:31] hi airurando [19:31] hi carles-091labs [19:31] carles-091labs success isn't the driver [19:31] getting together and having fun is [19:31] everything has to start somewhere! [19:31] as few people as you like [19:32] I know.... [19:32] carles-091labs onto some praticalities [19:33] we usually promote these jams on the Ubuntu Wiki, LoCo Directory, our website and twitter/identi.ca [19:33] any objection to this? [19:33] cool... Hopefully will get some people outside our members [19:33] no, no [19:34] 091 labs kindly host a Global Jam event etc etc [19:34] excellent [19:34] We will promote through our channels also [19:34] are 091 Labs OK with a 10am to 6pm ish timeframe on 3rd Sept [19:34] great promote away [19:35] the hope is always to promote the hackerspaces and ubuntu [19:36] carles-091labs so you have no objection to me promoting this as outlined above [19:36] Shouldn't be a problem [19:36] One member will be there from 10am and I should be back in town by 3pm [19:36] yeah... just confirming with the member that will host it.... and he's fine with it [19:37] absolutely brilliant [19:37] any support or info you may want holler here or drop a line to the mailing list [19:38] ok [19:38] #agreed 091labs will kindly host a UGJ Event [19:39] bah new bot not working properly [19:39] moving on [19:39] last agenda item [19:40] #topic Event Planning [19:40] TOPIC: Event Planning [19:40] this is mine also [19:41] I'm just wondering whether or not we should try to plan and lock down events alot sooner than we currently do. [19:41] I agree with moylan, I don't know how we can get the word out better about events [19:41] how do you mean? [19:41] what event is this? [19:42] carles-091labs all events [19:42] geeknics [19:42] Ubuntu Hours [19:42] just wondering. would a google calendar for ubuntu ireland help? [19:42] Jams [19:43] moylan the loco dir is supposed to do something along those lines [19:43] ebel I mean we don't finalise details of things until a week or two before they are due to happen [19:44] Where possible I think we could do alot better on this [19:44] geeknics could be organised and agreed upon months in advance [19:45] news of the event could filter out better in these situations [19:45] Jams should be organised as soon as the dates are announces [19:45] *announced [19:45] we'll as soon as practical after the announcement [19:46] just a thought [19:46] hmmm maybe.... [19:46] you're right about some events that we know in advance... [19:46] I don't think it be much harder to lock the details down sooner [19:46] promote them sooner and for a longer period [19:46] twould mean being more organised [19:47] keep your calanders free kind of stuff [19:47] not a whole lot more organised [19:47] but a bit [19:47] would need to make decisions quicker also [19:48] date one month [19:48] venue the next [19:48] this eats away at time [19:48] moylan thoughts [19:48] carles-091labs thoughts? [19:49] thoughts anyone? [19:49] we should streamline the decision process. maybe the next time the doodle poll should be a location + date selection in one poll. [19:49] also maybe block book the 1st saturday of the month for events or something... [19:50] i agree to try to give it a go, but i'm a terrible one for the procrastinator [19:50] haha [19:50] we can definetly try [19:51] moylan I agree but I think actioning it at one meeting and agreeing on it at the next may even be too long [19:51] I just wanted to get folks thinking on this [19:51] there's always the mailing list... we don't have to wait that ling [19:51] #long [19:51] we can leave it here [19:52] carles-091labs that is a good idea [19:52] might put more activity onto the mailing list [19:52] indeed [19:52] true [19:52] we can all think on it [19:53] #topic any other business [19:53] TOPIC: any other business [19:53] not from me [19:54] #topic next meeting date proposed for Wednesday 21st of September. [19:54] TOPIC: next meeting date proposed for Wednesday 21st of September. [19:54] any objections [19:55] no?
