[11:15] <Tribaal> Hi folks
[11:15] <Tribaal> I'm a member of the Swiss LoCo, and I'll be moving to Ireland in the next couple of months
[11:16] <Tribaal> so I wanted to jump in and say hi :)
[11:16] <ebel> hello Tribaal
[11:17] <Tribaal> how active are you guys? The page linked seems pretty active
[11:17] <ebel> Ah relatively.
[11:17] <ebel> We had a geeknic (geek picnic) last weekend
[11:17] <ebel> we have regular irc meetings. (coming up soon, so you can pop along if you want to see stuff)
[11:18] <Tribaal> nice :)
[11:18] <Tribaal> geeknics sound like fun
[11:19] <ebel> we'll be taking part in the ubuntu global jam soon, another event you can come along to
[11:19] <ebel> where in ireland are you moving too?
[11:19] <Tribaal> Dublin
[11:19] <ebel> Most ubuntu-ie activity happens in dublin.
[11:19] <Tribaal> my wife and I are pretty scared (it's the first time we move abroad)
[11:19] <Tribaal> good to know
[11:19] <Tribaal> :)
[11:21] <Tribaal> So how many people were there at the geeknic?
[11:21] <ebel> varied. last one was small, only 4. :P
[11:21] <ebel> soon the weather will turn against us :)
[11:22] <ebel> There's also a hackerspace in dublin (TOG), if you're looking around
[11:22] <Tribaal> Ohhhh interesting
[11:22] <ebel> ubuntu-ie also does semi-regular intermitant meet ups in pubs thoughout the yera
[11:22] <ebel> are you on the mailing list? we also have an identica/twitter account
[11:22] <Tribaal> not yet
[11:23] <Tribaal> It just occured to me "hey I spend my days on IRC, why not start by hopping on the ubuntu LoCo channel
[11:23] <ebel> http://twitter.com/#!/ubuntuie
[11:23] <ebel> this channel is usually pretty active
[11:24] <ebel> http://identi.ca/ubuntuie
[11:25] <Tribaal> Followin'
[11:25] <Tribaal> :)
[11:38] <Tribaal> thanks ebel
[11:43] <tdr112> anyone know how to add a file to a .war in ubuntu
[11:45] <ebel> is it just a zip file with a .war file ending? (i.e. maybe you can unzip add file, re-zip)
[11:47] <tdr112> it is a zip ,
[11:47] <czajkowski> aloha
[11:47] <tdr112> so tar  is not the one to use
[11:49] <Tribaal> you can "sudo aptitude install unzip" then "zip whatever.war [list of files or folder]"
[18:57] <ebel> The minutes show that we've had this meeting apparently.... http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/team/153/detail/
[18:57] <ebel> well the loco directory entry for this meeting has details filled in

[19:10] <airurando> #topic Review of previous action items
[19:10] <meetingology> TOPIC: Review of previous action items
[19:11] <airurando> from last month we had a few actions items
[19:11] <airurando> #topic ACTION: infoturtle will organise UGJ Limerick
[19:11] <meetingology> TOPIC: ACTION: infoturtle will organise UGJ Limerick
[19:11] <airurando> infoturtle can't be here tonight and sends his apologies
[19:12] <airurando> he has done some work on this and asked me to give the update
[19:13] <airurando> MilkLabs hackerspace have been approached and asked to host the Jam on Sept 3rd
[19:13] <airurando> The initial response has been positive but nothing has been confirmed as of yet.
[19:14] <airurando> #link http://groups.google.com/group/limerick-hackerspace/browse_thread/thread/5a63ceb814efbc13
[19:14] <airurando> the above listed e-mail thread gives a good indication of the progress that has been made so far.
[19:15] <airurando> infoturtle has done great work on this and hopefully it will all fall into place for him
[19:15] <carles-091labs> About the Jam on September
[19:16] <carles-091labs> I was going to host one in 091labs but just yesterday i got the news from jefrey about going to electric picnic
[19:16] <carles-091labs> so, I won't be able to host it. Not sure if any of our members will take my place
[19:17] <airurando> Thats a pity but not to worry.
[19:18] <airurando> we'll wait for confirmation from infoturtle before promoting UGJ Limerick
[19:18] <airurando> carles-091labs definately next time eh? ;)
[19:19] <carles-091labs> 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] <airurando> cool :)
[19:19] <airurando> we can chat on that in a minute
[19:19] <carles-091labs> ok
[19:19] <airurando> but that is brilliant.
[19:20] <airurando> #topic ACTION: tdr112 will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin
[19:20] <meetingology> TOPIC: ACTION: tdr112 will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin
[19:20] <airurando> I know tdr112 asked TOG.
[19:20] <airurando> no confirmation as of yet though.
[19:20] <airurando> ebel do you know anything on this?
[19:21] <ebel> Yes
[19:21] <ebel> I will be organising the Dubin global jam in TOG
[19:21] <ebel> (at least I'll be approaching TOG about this)
[19:21] <ebel> I haven't done it yet, since tdr112 only told me yesterday
[19:22] <airurando> OK
[19:22] <ebel> 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] <ebel> so we'll know within 5 or 6 days if we can have UGJ at TOG. I am optimistic
[19:22] <airurando> OK we'll leave it at that
[19:23] <airurando> #action ebel will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin
[19:23] <meetingology> ACTION: ebel will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin
[19:23] <airurando> moving on
[19:23] <airurando> the last action from July was
[19:23] <airurando> #topic ACTION: moylan to generate a doodle poll to decide on the location for the August geeknic
[19:23] <meetingology> TOPIC: ACTION: moylan to generate a doodle poll to decide on the location for the August geeknic
[19:24] <airurando> moylan do you want to provide a synopsis?
[19:25] <moylan> 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] <airurando> at least the sun shone mostly
[19:25] <airurando> small turnout
[19:25] <moylan> can't really think of a better way to get the word out to more people.
[19:25] <airurando> but good company
[19:26] <moylan> good fun.  i enjoyed it.  pics will be good come next reapproval :-)
[19:26] <airurando> indeed
[19:26] <ebel> yep
[19:26] <airurando> slashtom has many :)
[19:27] <airurando> we'll move on to agenda items proper
[19:27] <moylan> found one on my samsung tab that's quite good.
[19:27] <airurando> #topic Ubuntu Global Jam
[19:27] <meetingology> TOPIC: Ubuntu Global Jam
[19:27] <airurando> we have discussed venues already
[19:28] <airurando> Dublin and Limerick are in progress
[19:28] <airurando> Galway is also stepping up to the plate hopefully :)
[19:29] <airurando> carles-091labs you say you have news!
[19:30] <carles-091labs> one of our members is going to host the event for me

[19:30] <carles-091labs> hi
[19:31] <mokmeister> hi airurando
[19:31] <mokmeister> hi carles-091labs
[19:31] <airurando> carles-091labs success isn't the driver
[19:31] <airurando> getting together and having fun is
[19:31] <mokmeister> everything has to start somewhere!
[19:31] <airurando> as few people as you like
[19:32] <carles-091labs> I know....
[19:32] <airurando> carles-091labs onto some praticalities
[19:33] <airurando> we usually promote these jams on the Ubuntu Wiki, LoCo Directory, our website and twitter/identi.ca
[19:33] <airurando> any objection to this?
[19:33] <carles-091labs> cool... Hopefully will get some people outside our members
[19:33] <carles-091labs> no, no
[19:34] <airurando> 091 labs kindly host a Global Jam event etc etc
[19:34] <airurando> excellent
[19:34] <carles-091labs> We will promote through our channels also
[19:34] <airurando> are 091 Labs OK with a 10am to 6pm ish timeframe on 3rd Sept
[19:34] <airurando> great promote away
[19:35] <airurando>  the hope is always to promote the hackerspaces and ubuntu
[19:36] <airurando> carles-091labs so you have no objection to me promoting this as outlined above
[19:36] <thelodger> Shouldn't be a problem
[19:36] <thelodger> One member will be there from 10am and I should be back in town by 3pm
[19:36] <carles-091labs> yeah... just confirming with the member that will host it.... and he's fine with it

[19:37] <airurando> any support or info you may want holler here or drop a line to the mailing list
[19:38] <carles-091labs> ok
[19:38] <airurando> #agreed 091labs will kindly host a UGJ Event
[19:39] <airurando> bah new bot not working properly
[19:39] <airurando> moving on
[19:39] <airurando> last agenda item
[19:40] <airurando> #topic Event Planning
[19:40] <meetingology> TOPIC: Event Planning
[19:40] <airurando> this is mine also
[19:41] <airurando> I'm just wondering whether or not we should try to plan and lock down events alot sooner than we currently do.
[19:41] <airurando> I agree with moylan, I don't know how we can get the word out better about events
[19:41] <ebel> how do you mean?
[19:41] <carles-091labs> what event is this?
[19:42] <airurando> carles-091labs all events
[19:42] <airurando> geeknics
[19:42] <airurando> Ubuntu Hours
[19:42] <moylan> just wondering.  would a google calendar for ubuntu ireland help?
[19:42] <airurando> Jams
[19:43] <airurando> moylan the loco dir is supposed to do something along those lines
[19:43] <airurando> ebel I mean we don't finalise details of things until a week or two before they are due to happen
[19:44] <airurando> Where possible I think we could do alot better on this
[19:44] <airurando> geeknics could be organised and agreed upon months in advance
[19:45] <airurando> news of the  event could filter out better in these situations
[19:45] <airurando> Jams should be organised as soon as the dates are announces
[19:45] <airurando> *announced
[19:45] <airurando> we'll as soon as practical after the announcement
[19:46] <airurando> just a thought
[19:46] <ebel> hmmm maybe....
[19:46] <ebel> you're right about some events that we know in advance...
[19:46] <airurando> I don't think it be much harder to lock the details down sooner
[19:46] <airurando> promote them sooner and for a longer period
[19:46] <ebel> twould mean being more organised
[19:47] <airurando> keep your calanders free kind of stuff
[19:47] <airurando> not a whole lot more organised
[19:47] <airurando> but a bit
[19:47] <airurando> would need to make decisions quicker also
[19:48] <airurando> date one month
[19:48] <airurando> venue the next
[19:48] <airurando> this eats away at time
[19:48] <airurando> moylan thoughts
[19:48] <airurando> carles-091labs thoughts?
[19:49] <airurando> thoughts anyone?
[19:49] <moylan> we should streamline the decision process.  maybe the next time the doodle poll should be a location + date selection in one poll.
[19:49] <moylan> also maybe block book the 1st saturday of the month for events or something...
[19:50] <ebel> i agree to try to give it a go, but i'm a terrible one for the procrastinator
[19:50] <airurando> haha
[19:50] <carles-091labs> we can definetly try
[19:51] <airurando> 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] <airurando> I just wanted to get folks thinking on this
[19:51] <carles-091labs> there's always the mailing list... we don't have to wait that ling
[19:51] <carles-091labs> #long
[19:51] <airurando> we can leave it here
[19:52] <airurando> carles-091labs that is a good idea
[19:52] <moylan> might put more activity onto the mailing list
[19:52] <airurando> indeed
[19:52] <carles-091labs> true
[19:52] <airurando> we can all think on it
[19:53] <airurando> #topic any other business
[19:53] <meetingology> TOPIC: any other business
[19:53] <carles-091labs> not from me
[19:54] <airurando> #topic next meeting date proposed for Wednesday 21st of September.
[19:54] <meetingology> TOPIC: next meeting date proposed for Wednesday 21st of September.
[19:54] <airurando> any objections
[19:55] <airurando> no?
[19:55] <carles-091labs> nope
[19:55] <airurando> cool
[19:55] <moylan> nope
[19:55] <airurando> as there is nothing else we'll finish up here
