[09:59] <benonsoftware> Evening head_victim 
[09:59]  * benonsoftware has just remembered about the meeting
[10:03] <benonsoftware> Meeting is now correct?
[10:04] <head_victim> Should be
[10:04] <benonsoftware> Okies
[10:07] <spik3> first timer I hope if you don't mind if I just sit and watch?
[10:07] <head_victim> spik3: feel free, the more the merrier
[10:07] <spik3> thanks
[10:07] <head_victim> Doesn't look like a lot on the agenda tonight
[10:07] <benonsoftware> Yeah, not much
[10:09] <sagaci> so start?

[10:09] <sagaci> hi all
[10:10] <head_victim> Evening sagaci 
[10:10] <benonsoftware> Evening sagaci 
[10:10] <spik3> hi sagaci
[10:10] <benonsoftware> 'ello spik3 
[10:10] <sagaci> weird being 8pm, last meeting for me was April or March, which would have been before daylight savings
[10:11] <benonsoftware> I'm glad the meetings are at this time now
[10:11] <head_victim> They've always been this time for me ;)
[10:12] <sagaci> #topic Workshop/open day events
[10:12] <sagaci> head_victim: ..
[10:12] <head_victim> I just wanted to point out there seemed to be a good reception to the idea but far from overwhelming in the response in the call for volunteers.
[10:13] <spik3> any down in Tassie I can go to?
[10:13] <head_victim> Is anyone considering running an event in their area?
[10:13]  * benonsoftware is tempted to
[10:14] <sagaci> yep, I'm scheduling one for the July or perhaps August weekend
[10:14] <sagaci> local event, so not in Sydney
[10:14] <benonsoftware> Oh, and I got a response from O'Reily books
[10:14] <benonsoftware> If anyone is holding a event and wants to give away some ebooks vouchers from them just email me and I can get you some
[10:16] <sagaci> it's hopefully going to be a introductory/live-demo on a projector with space for about ~20 people or so
[10:18] <head_victim> Sounds pretty much perfect
[10:21] <benonsoftware> sagaci: Do you want the vouchers to give away or something there?
[10:22] <sagaci> probably not since it's a very basic introduction thing
[10:22] <benonsoftware> Okies
[10:22] <sagaci> otherwise if it was more technical I would
[10:23] <head_victim> I'm hoping toget one going in Brisbane but I don't have the time to do it all myself
[10:27] <md_5> oh just in time
[10:30] <sagaci> yep
[10:30] <head_victim> Ok, seems a little slow tonight
[10:31] <md_5> yeah
[10:31]  * md_5 whips everyone along
[10:32] <head_victim> So md_5 are you contemplating a local event?
[10:32] <md_5> no.. I'm a bit young for that
[10:33] <head_victim> Fair enough, doesn't seem like there was much else on the agenda
[10:33] <sagaci> indeed
[10:34] <benonsoftware> md_5: Mind me asking what state you are in?
[10:35] <md_5> vic benonsoftware 
[10:36]  * benonsoftware high fives md_5 ;)
[10:36]  * md_5 high fives back
[10:36]  * md_5 grabs a hot beverage
[10:38] <spik3> as a newbie, and not up to date with tech, however if some one is running one up in the north of Tassie I will help
[10:42] <sagaci> not really ubuntu but if you're into python, pycon-au is in hobart this year in mid August. That's the closest tech-related event I can think of
[10:44] <spik3> Ok, I will keep it in mind
[10:44] <sagaci> I think the general course is to run a release party to gauge interest and then a similar open day follow up with the release party members. If you're willing to go to a release party, it's not much more to help out as a secondary with an open day
[10:46] <chu> Anyone coming to linux.conf.au later this year?
[10:46] <sagaci> in saying that, it's a bit disappointing running a release party and getting a whole of three including myself in a place like Sydney
[10:46] <sagaci> in Canberra, yep
[10:46] <chu> ANU :D
[10:47]  * benonsoftware should've gone when it was in VIC :P
[10:56] <sagaci> anything else?
[10:56] <head_victim> Seems we're done
[10:56] <head_victim> ?
[10:56] <head_victim> No one else had any items to bring up?
[10:56] <md_5> nope
[10:56] <benonsoftware> Nope
[10:58] <spik3> not here

[11:08] <head_victim> Thanks for running it sagaci, I'm very much in and out tonight :/
[11:10] <sagaci> yep, I'm booking lca flights
[11:10] <sagaci> even though registration isn't open yet :s
[11:11] <head_victim> I'm trying to find a replacement camera for the one we've had that's gone awol :/
[11:11] <head_victim> There are too many choices
[11:12] <sagaci> what price range are we talking
[11:12] <head_victim> around 200 for a point and shoot
[11:12] <head_victim> Most important factor is image quality, a "nice to have" is the usb charge ability.
[11:13] <head_victim> Debating Canon ixus 310, Panasonic FH8 or SZ1
[11:14]  * benonsoftware would go with the Ixus 310
[11:24] <head_victim> I'm leanign towards the panasonics as they usb charge
[11:27] <benonsoftware> I'm out for tonight folks
[11:27] <benonsoftware> See everyone later
[11:28] <head_victim> Cheerio
[11:34] <md_5|away> panasonics are good head_victim 
[11:36] <head_victim> md_5|away: we're replacing an old panasonic so it's sounding likely
