[14:01] <jelkner> ubuntourist, what is our agenda for today
[14:01] <jelkner> ?
[14:01] <ubuntourist> Shhhhhowtime!
[14:02] <ubuntourist> So. What do the powers that be need for us to be reapproved?
[14:02] <ubuntourist> Once again, the magic URL: (Hold a sec)
[14:03] <ubuntourist> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved
[14:04] <ubuntourist> And https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistrictOfColumbiaTeam/ApprovalApplication2012
[14:05] <ubuntourist> Oops. That last one is superceded by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistrictOfColumbiaTeam/ReApprovalApplication2012
[14:09] <ubuntourist> So, web site: Check.  Though it's a bit long in the tooth.  Time for some updates there.
[14:10] <ubuntourist> Mailing list: Check.  Pretty healthy, though it could use more posts from others, not just replies.
[14:11] <ubuntourist> Photos:  We should copy from Google+ and Picasso and others to Flickr, where we have established an photo stream.
[14:18]  * jelkner can login to ubuntu.com
[14:18] <jelkner> now let me check our local sites
[14:20] <ubuntourist> Getting back to our web site http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/ we should make it more generic.  If you need edit permissions, ask me and I'll add you.
[14:20]  * jelkner can login to http://dc.ubuntu-us.org
[14:39] <ubuntourist> Just ported the Free Geek visit report to the the dc.ubuntu-us.org page.
[14:52]  * ubuntourist just ported the Free Geek visit report to the the dc.ubuntu-us.org page.
[14:54] <ubuntourist> There is an effort afoot to get an InstallFest going for a UDC Linux class.  Contact John Knight at john.johnknight@gmail.com
[14:54] <ubuntourist> (He's the one taking the class and requesting the InstallFest.)
[14:55] <jelkner> ubuntourist, can we meet at 10:30 am next week?  It will give me time to finish breakfast before the meeting?
[14:55] <ubuntourist> A report / blog post with pictures from the recent TPFF / SFD would be nice...
[14:56] <ubuntourist> 10:30 it is.
[14:56] <jelkner> Let's summarize what we accomplished...
[14:56] <jelkner> 1. We started having regular irc meetings.
[14:57] <jelkner> 2. We took a look at our application for reactivation (which requires regular irc meetings) and began working on meeting the requirements.

[14:58] <jelkner> I created an account on the Forum, but I most admit only begrudgingly.
[14:59] <jelkner> I'd like to suggest that simple is better than complex, and that having too many ways to communicate with us actually harms our efforts.
[14:59] <jelkner> We don't have the resources to staff them.
[14:59] <jelkner> And it leads would be ubuntuistas to be turned off rather than tuned in to our efforts.
[15:00] <jelkner> I'd like to suggest that we limit ourselves to three channels:
[15:00] <jelkner> 1. The mailing list for asynchronous discussion
[15:00] <jelkner> 2. The irc channel for synchronous meetings
[15:00] <jelkner> 3. The wiki for general information
[15:00] <jelkner> That should be it
[15:00] <ubuntourist> We should bring up to the Council(s) that Ubuntu Forum requirement.  Give its function, I'd suggest it's perhaps considerably more practical to just refer people to the Ask Ubuntu Stack Exchange.
[15:01] <jelkner> indeed
[15:02] <jelkner> see you next week, mr. cole
[15:02] <jelkner> it's been a pleasure as always
[15:02] <ubuntourist> Shebang! Ajourned!
[15:03]  * ubuntourist has ajourned the meeting.
