[09:54] <head_victim> Evening all, many here for the meeting?
[10:03] <head_victim> Could be a short one then.
[10:04] <kookey50> Hi there, I am here for the meeting. It is my first time.
[10:04] <head_victim> Good evening kookey50, welcome along
[10:05] <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.
[10:10] <md_5> oh meeting
[10:11] <head_victim> Evening md_5, looks like we're a bit light on tonight.
[10:12] <md_5> do we even have enough people to start a meeting :|
[10:12] <head_victim> Thiere is no real minimum
[10:13] <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.

[10:15] <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?
[10:16] <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
[10:17] <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.
[10:18] <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.
[10:19] <jellyware> once you check your system using the tool provied in 12.04+ you can post your results on the ubuntu friendly webiste
[10:20] <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.
[10:21] <md_5> nice
[10:23] <md_5> as soon as Im donna Im gonna run the test and upload
[10:23] <jellyware> sweet md_5 
[10:27] <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.
[10:28] <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
[10:29] <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
[10:30] <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
[10:31] <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.
[10:32] <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
[10:33] <head_victim> md_5: no worries, sometimes official looking ones in proper sleeves get better reception so just thought I"d offer.
[10:34] <jellyware> lets distribute them while they are still warm...
[10:36] <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.
[10:37] <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
[10:38] <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?
[10:39] <head_victim> You're in Sydney these days or still in Melbourne?
[10:40] <jellyware> sydney
[10:40] <head_victim> 3kg satchels are $11.40 so I'll just put some in that if you like
[10:41] <jellyware> cool
[10:42] <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
[10:43] <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.
[10:46] <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
