| head_victim | Good evening kookey50, welcome along | 10:04 |
| head_victim | Looks like it's just us two for now so I'll wait a few minutes in case stragglers pop by. | 10:05 |
| kookey50 | No worries. | 10:05 |
| md_5 | oh meeting | 10:10 |
| head_victim | Evening md_5, looks like we're a bit light on tonight. | 10:11 |
| md_5 | do we even have enough people to start a meeting :| | 10:12 |
| head_victim | Thiere is no real minimum | 10:12 |
| head_victim | I'll start it anyway and we can at least look over the agenda, there isn't a lot but it might be useful to some reading the logs. | 10:13 |

| jellyware | hey jared | 10:14 |
| head_victim | Good evening jellyware, we're only just starting as there's only md_5, kookey50 and yourself here for now. | 10:14 |
| jellyware | cheers buddy | 10:14 |
| md_5 | greetings | 10:15 |
| jellyware | starts 8:30pm right? | 10:15 |
| md_5 | 8 | 10:15 |
| md_5 | #lurk | 10:15 |
| jellyware | oh | 10:15 |
| head_victim | I believed it was meant to be 2000 | 10:15 |
| jellyware | right... | 10:15 |
| md_5 | Team Meeting: Sun 12/08/2012 @ 2000 AEST (GMT+10) | 10:15 |
| jellyware | aplogies | 10:15 |
| head_victim | No worries, you're here now, did you want to go over the topic you emailed me earlier? | 10:15 |
| jellyware | ubuntu friendly? | 10:15 |
| head_victim | Yep | 10:16 |
| jellyware | well folks head over to https://friendly.ubuntu.com/ | 10:16 |
| head_victim | #topic Ubuntu Friendly | 10:16 |
| head_victim | #link https://friendly.ubuntu.com/ | 10:16 |
| jellyware | great program of recommending systems that are friendly to ubuntu | 10:16 |
| jellyware | once you install there is an easy process of checking your system | 10:17 |
| head_victim | jellyware: I think it's good to let people konw what works. It would also make buying new hardware easier than trawling through generic websites. | 10:17 |
| jellyware | I think this program is not that old | 10:18 |
| jellyware | there is still a lot of hardware that needs to be checked | 10:18 |
| head_victim | I did see something a while ago like it but I think this particular version is pretty new. | 10:18 |
| jellyware | once you check your system using the tool provied in 12.04+ you can post your results on the ubuntu friendly webiste | 10:19 |
| head_victim | #link https://friendly.ubuntu.com/participate/ | 10:20 |
| head_victim | It's a nice, easy way to help others in the community. No need to learn how to program, no need to turn up to an event miles away. Just 10 - 15 minutes of effort at home. | 10:20 |
| md_5 | nice | 10:21 |
| md_5 | as soon as Im donna Im gonna run the test and upload | 10:23 |
| jellyware | sweet md_5 | 10:23 |
| head_victim | Well I guess we can move on to the next topic | 10:27 |
| head_victim | #topic CD Distribution | 10:27 |
| jellyware | yep | 10:27 |
| head_victim | I just wanted to bring up the fact that I still have about 100 CDs of Ubuntu 12.04 sitting here to distribute. | 10:27 |
| head_victim | If anyone has any good ideas on how to use them effectively I'm all ears. | 10:27 |
| jellyware | the new version drops in a couple of months | 10:28 |
| head_victim | Indeed, but also this is a LTS so it will still be useful | 10:28 |
| jellyware | if you run out of ideas I can send you fundage to send cds to me for distibution on ubuntu.net.au | 10:29 |
| md_5 | ooh they improved the system test | 10:29 |
| jellyware | if you run out of ideas | 10:29 |
| jellyware | think we've lost md_5 | 10:29 |
| head_victim | jellyware: how many do you think you could realistically use? | 10:29 |
| head_victim | Just want to put a number on it | 10:29 |
| head_victim | 20, 50, all 100? | 10:29 |
| jellyware | realistically. not many | 10:29 |
| jellyware | we're running at an order every 2-3 days at the moment | 10:30 |
| jellyware | it was much busier when 12.04 first came out | 10:30 |
| jellyware | if I paypalled you, can you send me 20cds? | 10:31 |
| head_victim | Well I've found sending them in packs of 5 the most cost effective, they only charge 1.80 or so for that. As soon as you start putting in 10 or so it skyrockets to 5 or6 bucks a hit. | 10:31 |
| head_victim | md_5 or kookey50, would either of you have use for some 12.04 official CDs to hand out to friends, colleagues, randoms you meet? | 10:32 |
| jellyware | one day I will get back to my idea of getting them into public libraries | 10:32 |
| md_5 | not any more use than making my own | 10:32 |
| head_victim | md_5: no worries, sometimes official looking ones in proper sleeves get better reception so just thought I"d offer. | 10:33 |
| jellyware | lets distribute them while they are still warm... | 10:34 |
| kookey50 | burn my own as well | 10:36 |
| head_victim | I've handed 20 or so out, even got a copy on the lunch pc at work. | 10:36 |
| jellyware | I just asked my flatmate in the kitchen. he's an it student at macquarie uni | 10:37 |
| jellyware | his friends could use some | 10:37 |
| jellyware | some | 10:37 |
| head_victim | jellyware: I'll put a bunch in a satchel for you to use as you can | 10:38 |
| jellyware | head_victim, how much can I sent you via paypal? | 10:38 |
| head_victim | You're in Sydney these days or still in Melbourne? | 10:39 |
| jellyware | sydney | 10:40 |
| head_victim | 3kg satchels are $11.40 so I'll just put some in that if you like | 10:40 |
| jellyware | cool | 10:41 |
| jellyware | just looking at austpost. phew. austpost says ubuntu is "ok" http://peter.id.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screenshot.png | 10:42 |
| head_victim | If you email me your address I'll put it in the post | 10:42 |
| jellyware | sweet | 10:43 |
| head_victim | If anyone else can think of useful ways of distributing the CDs please let me know and I'll do the same. | 10:43 |
| jellyware | jared, is your gmail your paypal address? | 10:43 |
| head_victim | The only requirement I would like to put on the CDs is that if you receive them, you write an email or website story about how they're used :) | 10:43 |
| head_victim | jellyware: yeah that's it. | 10:43 |
| head_victim | Thanks everyone for attending, not sure why it was such a low turnout but perhaps we could be more proactive next time in announcing it. Sorry I forgot to put it out on the social media circles. | 10:46 |
| head_victim | Did anyone have anything to bring up that wasn't on the agenda? | 10:46 |
| jellyware | thanks for hosting head_victim | 10:46 |
