=== zmoylan1 is now known as zmoylan [19:56] Hello everybody! [19:57] Huzzah all! [19:58] evening [19:58] Hello Victor9098 [19:58] Hi ebel [19:59] Meeting at 9? [19:59] yep [19:59] That is the plan [19:59] we'll hang on a few mins, see who turns up [19:59] Good good [20:00] agenda is here http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-ie/441/detail/ [20:00] Bother, forget it was live UUPC night. Will get the podcast tomorrow [20:01] Uupc? [20:01] Ubuntu UK Podcast [20:01] Ok [20:02] dum-de-dum [20:02] If you have not listened to them before I highly recommend. The website is http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ all the past shows are there [20:03] Yeah, will check it out, thanks. [20:04] i've heard of it, but haven't listened to ti [20:04] I used to listen to LugRadio at lot. that was good [20:04] I have only listened to Lug a few times, and tried getting into the Linux Outlaws but did not take [20:05] I've only ever listened to stuff hap hazardly, never really followed any of these things [20:05] But UUPC every two weeks and Full Circle Magazine both put out quality shows, good clean fun and all that ;) [20:07] I'd look st fcm from time to time, never listened to the podcast [20:07] Will check it out. [20:07] right, reckon we should sorta get moving [20:07] #startmeeting [20:07] Meeting started Tue Jul 3 20:07:25 2012 UTC. The chair is ebel.

[20:07] PRESENT [20:07] PRESENT [20:07] PRESENT [20:08] PRESENT [20:08] Present [20:08] as mentioned the agenda page is here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-ie/441/detail/ [20:08] #link http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-ie/441/detail/ [20:09] #agenda Website [20:09] #topic Website [20:09] right, the ubuntu-ie website hosting on blacknight has expired. [20:09] it being 1 year since we renewed :) [20:09] So what do we want to do? [20:10] Options? [20:10] Blacknight have very kindly sponsored two years hosting now. [20:10] hello [20:10] 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] 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] no website [20:11] no need for a host [20:11] Victor9098: there is no website. No-one has created or set up or maintained the website. [20:11] we never use it [20:11] Hence why I'm leaning towards cancellation. [20:11] ok...thats that then :D [20:11] we have had it for 2 years and not done anything [20:11] Seems reasonable. [20:11] I always go to and link to the loco.ubuntu [20:11] ebel: call a vote on it [20:11] twas a nice idea. Alas nothing happened [20:12] #vote should we cancel website? [20:12] Please vote on: should we cancel website? [20:12] 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] er +1 for 'yes cancel it' -1 for 'no ask for another year' [20:12] +1 [20:12] +1 received from ebel [20:12] +1 [20:12] +1 received from Victor9098 [20:12] +1 [20:12] +1 received from tdr112 [20:12] +1 [20:12] +1 received from zmoylan [20:12] Where is my plus sign? [20:12] ;) [20:13] +1 [20:13] +1 received from Mokmeister [20:13] consensus seems clear… [20:14] #endvote [20:14] Voting ended on: should we cancel website? [20:14] Votes for:5 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 [20:14] Motion carried [20:14] poor old airurando's internet is poor… [20:14] We really do not need to be paying for hosting, plenty of options to get the message out and raise awareness [20:14] anything else on the website? [20:14] Victor9098: aye, we have a good bare minimum now [20:15] ebel: can we email blacknight and thank them [20:15] tdr112: yes, I'll do that. [20:15] for the hosting so far so we leave on good terms [20:15] yes, it was very kind of them to do that for us. [20:15] Should we thank them publicly? [20:16] Mokmeister: yes. [20:16] awful shame we never got up and running with a website on blacknight. [20:16] airurando2: aye. [20:16] Yeah === airurando2 is now known as airurando [20:16] #topic CDs [20:17] right, we (i.e. I) have the ubuntu ie loco set of CDs for this release. [20:17] They are from canonical, professional pressed CDs, and for promotion of ubuntu within ireland [20:17] if you think you can help with that, send me a SAE and i'll send you some CDs. [20:18] we could give some out at makerfaire [20:18] uptake has been… slow… there are loads of CDs left. [20:18] suggestions welcome… [20:18] I just upgraded all the fam over the web (and always have a LiveUSB on me :D ) [20:18] 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] Ebel, as I said, I've put out an ad at work, have 12 requests already. [20:19] Mokmeister: kewl. yep saw them emails. Good to see interest [20:19] Did you get the sae yet? Probably not [20:19] I only sent it monday [20:20] Mokmeister: not yet [20:20] any other ideas wrt CDs? [20:21] airurando made a good point (ages ago) that since this is a LTS, it'll be useful for years for people. [20:21] have another ubuntu hour in late july [20:21] So there's no rush to get rid of these soon. They won't be obseleted in a few months [20:22] I think the life long learning festivals in Cork and Limerick could be a good place to use these CDs [20:22] Indeed. [20:23] The lifelong learning festival in limerick was in may though I thought? [20:23] people from both Nexus cork and MilkLabs Limerick have expressed initial interest [20:23] maybe if we hit up some coder dojos [20:23] Mokmeister indeed, I'm thinking 2013 [20:23] I think the coder dojos would be a great idea [20:23] aye coder dojo is a good idea [20:24] ok how about i take up the job of contacting some of them [20:25] Yeah, I could contact some in Limerick, Clare, maybe Kerry area [20:25] that would be very helpful [20:25] since we need to knock on their door [20:26] Email? [20:26] yeah, email em all [20:27] i will contact some of the dublin ones [20:27] 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] Looked [20:28] If there is a meetup in Dublin soon i'd like to take some. [20:28] I'm doing this from my phone, you'll have to forgive me! [20:28] thanks guys [20:28] another ubuntu hour is prob a good idea, sometime [20:30] 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] (likewise lifelong learning, will people (who?) do the same again?) [20:31] I'll try to keep a track on Lifelong Learning [20:31] for 2013 [20:31] cool, thanks airurando [20:33] ye all know my address to give out? If not ping me, i'll send it to ye. [20:33] Ok [20:34] any other thoughts on CDs? [20:36] Can't think of anything at the moment [20:36] just had someome screem ubuntu out of a moving car [20:36] could we call meetups or UHs in areas for say 4 weeks time to distribute some? [20:36] nice tdr112 [20:36] airurando: good idea [20:36] #topic another ubuntu hour? [20:37] noot too soon [20:37] plenty of time to promote [20:37] 28th? [20:37] 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] +1 on early afternoon [20:39] is the August bank holiday the first monday? [20:39] 20th I'll be away [20:40] airurando: aye. mon 6th aug [20:41] so maaaaybe 28th from me… [20:42] ebel: are you suggesting 20th or are you available on 28th? [20:42] sorry [20:42] not available 20th [20:42] miiiight be available 28th [20:42] 28th I think maybeeeee also for me [20:42] could go for sat 4th aug? [20:43] bank holiday weekend [20:43] grand by me [20:43] not sure [20:44] geeknic last bank holiday was poorly attended [20:44] I already have other plans that weekend [20:44] doodle poll…. ? [20:44] what about the 11th or 18th of August [20:45] I don't like the idea of a doodle poll [20:45] Anything other then the bank holiday suits me [20:45] there is no real rush in this [20:45] I reckon mid to late August would be fine if people are available? [20:46] last 2 weekends of august no good for me (away on honeymoon) [20:47] may need to be away one weekend in aug [20:47] ohhh sorry [20:48] ;) [20:48] well i dunno [20:48] 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] Lol [20:49] ebel dead right [20:49] go when you choose [20:49] anyway, dunno when to have UH [20:49] hence suggesting doodle poll, then we can sort out when lots of people are free? [20:50] aye but if you are not free there is little point [20:50] you have the CDs [20:50] so you call the date and time [20:51] oh good point [20:51] I just ask for a fair amount of time to promote [20:51] If it goes to Sept so be it! [20:51] well find the best time when (a) I'm free and (b) more other people are free ? [20:51] I'm not sure about cds for uh. Isn't it like bringing beer to a pub? [20:52] Just putting the question out there [20:52] good point Mokmeister [20:53] huh? [20:53] but some of the attendees might have a user in mind for the disks? [20:53] ah "preeching to the choir" sorta? [20:53] Indeed [20:53] well those people might know people? [20:53] and get past the backlog of me? [20:54] Yes, no broadband out where I live, so the CDs are really handy [20:54] But yeah, people might have ideas alright. [20:54] 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] some weekend afternoon in dublin city centre? [20:55] ebel: if you cant be there i will meet you the week before and get them from you [20:55] Sounds good [20:55] tdr112: yes, we could that aswell [20:55] grand [20:55] #topic Any other Business? [20:56] Should have given out the cds at the wedding... ;) [20:56] Lol! [20:57] 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] Yes actually, things are quiet. [20:58] Mokmeister solid topic for August? [20:58] Must be due to this glorious weather [20:58] Ok [20:58] ok [20:58] #endmeeting [20:58] Meeting ended Tue Jul 3 20:58:46 2012 UTC.
