[20:04] <Victor9098> I have only listened to Lug a few times, and tried getting into the Linux Outlaws but did not take
[20:05] <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 ;)
[20:07] <Mokmeister> I'd look st fcm from time to time, never listened to the podcast

[20:09] <ebel> #agenda Website
[20:09] <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?
[20:10] <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
[20:11] <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
[20:12] <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] <tdr112> +1
[20:12] <meetingology> +1 received from tdr112
[20:12] <zmoylan> +1
[20:12] <meetingology> +1 received from zmoylan
[20:12] <Mokmeister> Where is my plus sign?
[20:12] <Mokmeister> ;)
[20:13] <Mokmeister> +1
[20:13] <meetingology> +1 received from Mokmeister
[20:13] <ebel> consensus seems clear…
[20:14] <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
[20:15] <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?
[20:16] <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] <ebel> #topic CDs
[20:17] <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.
[20:18] <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
[20:19] <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
[20:20] <ebel> Mokmeister: not yet
[20:20] <ebel> any other ideas wrt CDs?
[20:21] <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
[20:22] <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.
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <tdr112> ok how about i take up the job of contacting some of them
[20:25] <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
[20:26] <Mokmeister> Email?
[20:26] <ebel> yeah, email em all
[20:27] <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
[20:28] <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
[20:30] <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?)
[20:31] <airurando> I'll try to keep a track on Lifelong Learning
[20:31] <airurando> for 2013
[20:31] <ebel> cool, thanks airurando
[20:33] <ebel> ye all know my address to give out? If not ping me, i'll send it to ye.
[20:33] <Mokmeister> Ok
[20:34] <ebel> any other thoughts on CDs?
[20:36] <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?
[20:37] <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 ;) )
[20:39]  * 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
[20:40] <ebel> airurando: aye. mon 6th aug
[20:41] <ebel> so maaaaybe 28th from me…
[20:42] <airurando> ebel: are you suggesting 20th or are you available on 28th?
[20:42] <airurando> sorry
[20:42] <ebel> not available 20th
[20:42] <ebel> miiiight be available 28th
[20:42] <airurando> 28th I think maybeeeee also for me
[20:42] <ebel> could go for sat 4th aug?
[20:43] <airurando> bank holiday weekend
[20:43] <tdr112> grand by me
[20:43] <airurando> not sure
[20:44] <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
[20:45] <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?
[20:46] <ebel> last 2 weekends of august no good for me (away on honeymoon)
[20:47] <ebel> may need to be away one weekend in aug
[20:47] <airurando> ohhh sorry
[20:48] <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
[20:49]  * 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?
[20:50] <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
[20:51] <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?
[20:52] <Mokmeister> Just putting the question out there
[20:52] <airurando> good point Mokmeister
[20:53] <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?
[20:54] <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?
[20:55] <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?
[20:56] <Victor9098> Should have given out the cds at the wedding... ;)
[20:56] <Mokmeister> Lol!
[20:57] <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.
[20:58] <airurando> Mokmeister solid topic for August?
[20:58] <Victor9098> Must be due to this glorious weather
[20:58] <Mokmeister> Ok
