| Victor9098 | I have only listened to Lug a few times, and tried getting into the Linux Outlaws but did not take | 20:04 |
| Mokmeister | I've only ever listened to stuff hap hazardly, never really followed any of these things | 20:05 |
| Victor9098 | But UUPC every two weeks and Full Circle Magazine both put out quality shows, good clean fun and all that ;) | 20:05 |
| Mokmeister | I'd look st fcm from time to time, never listened to the podcast | 20:07 |

| ebel | #topic Website | 20:09 |
| ebel | right, the ubuntu-ie website hosting on blacknight has expired. | 20:09 |
| ebel | it being 1 year since we renewed :) | 20:09 |
| ebel | So what do we want to do? | 20:09 |
| Mokmeister | Options? | 20:10 |
| airurando | Blacknight have very kindly sponsored two years hosting now. | 20:10 |
| tdr112 | hello | 20:10 |
| ebel | We could (a) ask blacknight to please donate another year of hosting (as they have done very kindly for 2 years) or (b) tell them we don't need it anymore | 20:10 |
| Victor9098 | What sort of traffic did it get? Is it worth keeping up or will the loco.ubuntu do (with twitter/G+ accounts etc.)? | 20:10 |
| airurando | no website | 20:10 |
| airurando | no need for a host | 20:11 |
| ebel | Victor9098: there is no website. No-one has created or set up or maintained the website. | 20:11 |
| tdr112 | we never use it | 20:11 |
| ebel | Hence why I'm leaning towards cancellation. | 20:11 |
| Victor9098 | ok...thats that then :D | 20:11 |
| tdr112 | we have had it for 2 years and not done anything | 20:11 |
| Mokmeister | Seems reasonable. | 20:11 |
| Victor9098 | I always go to and link to the loco.ubuntu | 20:11 |
| tdr112 | ebel: call a vote on it | 20:11 |
| ebel | twas a nice idea. Alas nothing happened | 20:11 |
| ebel | #vote should we cancel website? | 20:12 |
| meetingology | Please vote on: should we cancel website? | 20:12 |
| meetingology | Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (private votes don't work yet, but when they do it will be by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to me) | 20:12 |
| ebel | er +1 for 'yes cancel it' -1 for 'no ask for another year' | 20:12 |
| ebel | +1 | 20:12 |
| meetingology | +1 received from ebel | 20:12 |
| Victor9098 | +1 | 20:12 |
| meetingology | +1 received from Victor9098 | 20:12 |

| meetingology | +1 received from Mokmeister | 20:13 |
| ebel | consensus seems clear… | 20:13 |
| ebel | #endvote | 20:14 |
| meetingology | Voting ended on: should we cancel website? | 20:14 |
| meetingology | Votes for:5 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 | 20:14 |
| meetingology | Motion carried | 20:14 |
| ebel | poor old airurando's internet is poor… | 20:14 |
| Victor9098 | We really do not need to be paying for hosting, plenty of options to get the message out and raise awareness | 20:14 |
| ebel | anything else on the website? | 20:14 |
| ebel | Victor9098: aye, we have a good bare minimum now | 20:14 |
| tdr112 | ebel: can we email blacknight and thank them | 20:15 |
| ebel | tdr112: yes, I'll do that. | 20:15 |
| tdr112 | for the hosting so far so we leave on good terms | 20:15 |
| ebel | yes, it was very kind of them to do that for us. | 20:15 |
| Mokmeister | Should we thank them publicly? | 20:15 |
| ebel | Mokmeister: yes. | 20:16 |
| airurando2 | awful shame we never got up and running with a website on blacknight. | 20:16 |
| ebel | airurando2: aye. | 20:16 |
| Mokmeister | Yeah | 20:16 |
| === airurando2 is now known as airurando | ||
| ebel | #topic CDs | 20:16 |
| ebel | right, we (i.e. I) have the ubuntu ie loco set of CDs for this release. | 20:17 |
| ebel | They are from canonical, professional pressed CDs, and for promotion of ubuntu within ireland | 20:17 |
| ebel | if you think you can help with that, send me a SAE and i'll send you some CDs. | 20:17 |
| tdr112 | we could give some out at makerfaire | 20:18 |
| ebel | uptake has been… slow… there are loads of CDs left. | 20:18 |
| ebel | suggestions welcome… | 20:18 |
| Victor9098 | I just upgraded all the fam over the web (and always have a LiveUSB on me :D ) | 20:18 |
| ebel | tdr112: good idea. I was tempted to go to that. P'haps I should hand you over some CDs shortly just in case | 20:18 |
| Mokmeister | Ebel, as I said, I've put out an ad at work, have 12 requests already. | 20:19 |
| ebel | Mokmeister: kewl. yep saw them emails. Good to see interest | 20:19 |
| Mokmeister | Did you get the sae yet? Probably not | 20:19 |
| Mokmeister | I only sent it monday | 20:19 |
| ebel | Mokmeister: not yet | 20:20 |
| ebel | any other ideas wrt CDs? | 20:20 |
| ebel | airurando made a good point (ages ago) that since this is a LTS, it'll be useful for years for people. | 20:21 |
| tdr112 | have another ubuntu hour in late july | 20:21 |
| ebel | So there's no rush to get rid of these soon. They won't be obseleted in a few months | 20:21 |
| airurando | I think the life long learning festivals in Cork and Limerick could be a good place to use these CDs | 20:22 |
| Mokmeister | Indeed. | 20:22 |
| Mokmeister | The lifelong learning festival in limerick was in may though I thought? | 20:23 |
| airurando | people from both Nexus cork and MilkLabs Limerick have expressed initial interest | 20:23 |
| tdr112 | maybe if we hit up some coder dojos | 20:23 |
| airurando | Mokmeister indeed, I'm thinking 2013 | 20:23 |
| Mokmeister | I think the coder dojos would be a great idea | 20:23 |
| ebel | aye coder dojo is a good idea | 20:23 |
| tdr112 | ok how about i take up the job of contacting some of them | 20:24 |
| Mokmeister | Yeah, I could contact some in Limerick, Clare, maybe Kerry area | 20:25 |
| ebel | that would be very helpful | 20:25 |
| ebel | since we need to knock on their door | 20:25 |
| Mokmeister | Email? | 20:26 |
| ebel | yeah, email em all | 20:26 |
| tdr112 | i will contact some of the dublin ones | 20:27 |
| Mokmeister | I was only looking into coder dojos there the other day (my kids are 8 and 7), and of the ones I liked at seem to be contactable electronically | 20:27 |
| Mokmeister | Looked | 20:27 |
| airurando | If there is a meetup in Dublin soon i'd like to take some. | 20:28 |
| Mokmeister | I'm doing this from my phone, you'll have to forgive me! | 20:28 |
| ebel | thanks guys | 20:28 |
| ebel | another ubuntu hour is prob a good idea, sometime | 20:28 |
| ebel | so if the coder dojos say "yes please", what do ye wanna do? Just send them my address? I can do the stuffing envelopes? Something else? | 20:30 |
| ebel | (likewise lifelong learning, will people (who?) do the same again?) | 20:30 |
| airurando | I'll try to keep a track on Lifelong Learning | 20:31 |
| airurando | for 2013 | 20:31 |
| ebel | cool, thanks airurando | 20:31 |
| ebel | ye all know my address to give out? If not ping me, i'll send it to ye. | 20:33 |
| Mokmeister | Ok | 20:33 |
| ebel | any other thoughts on CDs? | 20:34 |
| Mokmeister | Can't think of anything at the moment | 20:36 |
| tdr112 | just had someome screem ubuntu out of a moving car | 20:36 |
| airurando | could we call meetups or UHs in areas for say 4 weeks time to distribute some? | 20:36 |
| airurando | nice tdr112 | 20:36 |
| ebel | airurando: good idea | 20:36 |
| ebel | #topic another ubuntu hour? | 20:36 |
| airurando | noot too soon | 20:37 |
| airurando | plenty of time to promote | 20:37 |
| tdr112 | 28th? | 20:37 |
| Victor9098 | If anybody is in Vue Dublin at 5am on 20th July I will be happy to have an impromptu UH (Batman fan ;) ) | 20:37 |
| * ebel could maybe do early afternoon on sat 28th july, busy in evennig, maybe all day… | 20:39 | |
| Victor9098 | +1 on early afternoon | 20:39 |
| airurando | is the August bank holiday the first monday? | 20:39 |
| ebel | 20th I'll be away | 20:39 |

| ebel | so maaaaybe 28th from me… | 20:41 |
| airurando | ebel: are you suggesting 20th or are you available on 28th? | 20:42 |
| airurando | sorry | 20:42 |

| airurando | bank holiday weekend | 20:43 |
| tdr112 | grand by me | 20:43 |
| airurando | not sure | 20:43 |
| airurando | geeknic last bank holiday was poorly attended | 20:44 |
| Victor9098 | I already have other plans that weekend | 20:44 |
| ebel | doodle poll…. ? | 20:44 |
| airurando | what about the 11th or 18th of August | 20:44 |
| airurando | I don't like the idea of a doodle poll | 20:45 |
| Victor9098 | Anything other then the bank holiday suits me | 20:45 |
| airurando | there is no real rush in this | 20:45 |
| airurando | I reckon mid to late August would be fine if people are available? | 20:45 |
| ebel | last 2 weekends of august no good for me (away on honeymoon) | 20:46 |
| ebel | may need to be away one weekend in aug | 20:47 |
| airurando | ohhh sorry | 20:47 |
| ebel | ;) | 20:48 |
| ebel | well i dunno | 20:48 |
| Mokmeister | Congrats! I'm going top a wedding mid August too, good time to get married! | 20:48 |
| * ebel got married a month or so ago | 20:48 | |
| * ebel doesn't understand why you'd go honeymoon straight after the wedding :) | 20:49 | |
| Mokmeister | Lol | 20:49 |
| airurando | ebel dead right | 20:49 |
| airurando | go when you choose | 20:49 |
| ebel | anyway, dunno when to have UH | 20:49 |
| ebel | hence suggesting doodle poll, then we can sort out when lots of people are free? | 20:49 |
| airurando | aye but if you are not free there is little point | 20:50 |
| airurando | you have the CDs | 20:50 |
| airurando | so you call the date and time | 20:50 |
| ebel | oh good point | 20:51 |
| airurando | I just ask for a fair amount of time to promote | 20:51 |
| airurando | If it goes to Sept so be it! | 20:51 |
| ebel | well find the best time when (a) I'm free and (b) more other people are free ? | 20:51 |
| Mokmeister | I'm not sure about cds for uh. Isn't it like bringing beer to a pub? | 20:51 |
| Mokmeister | Just putting the question out there | 20:52 |
| airurando | good point Mokmeister | 20:52 |
| ebel | huh? | 20:53 |
| zmoylan | but some of the attendees might have a user in mind for the disks? | 20:53 |
| ebel | ah "preeching to the choir" sorta? | 20:53 |
| Mokmeister | Indeed | 20:53 |
| ebel | well those people might know people? | 20:53 |
| ebel | and get past the backlog of me? | 20:53 |
| Victor9098 | Yes, no broadband out where I live, so the CDs are really handy | 20:54 |
| Mokmeister | But yeah, people might have ideas alright. | 20:54 |
| ebel | ok, i'll make a doodle poll of when I'm free, and send that to the mailing list? please mark your preferences, and we'll see from there? | 20:54 |
| ebel | some weekend afternoon in dublin city centre? | 20:54 |
| tdr112 | ebel: if you cant be there i will meet you the week before and get them from you | 20:55 |
| Victor9098 | Sounds good | 20:55 |
| ebel | tdr112: yes, we could that aswell | 20:55 |
| ebel | grand | 20:55 |
| ebel | #topic Any other Business? | 20:55 |
| Victor9098 | Should have given out the cds at the wedding... ;) | 20:56 |
| Mokmeister | Lol! | 20:56 |
| airurando | Mokmeister had a good point on IRC a week or so ago regarding reviving the LoCo but as we are approaching an hour I think we should finish | 20:57 |
| Mokmeister | Yes actually, things are quiet. | 20:57 |
