[07:17] <Noskcaj> oh wait, he left lol
[09:47]  * OutOfControl has probably missed the meeting.
[09:48] <head_victim> No, by my reckoning it should be in 10 minutes or so
[09:49] <OutOfControl> O.o Ah, time zones has messed me up...
[10:00] <jea> Hi everyone
[10:00] <jea> Well, he was here

[10:03] <head_victim> Evening all
[10:03] <jea> Agenda http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-au/396/detail/
[10:03] <ben0nsoftware> Evening.
[10:03] <jea> Hi everyone
[10:04] <jea> Not too much on the agenda tonight
[10:05] <head_victim> Nope, not much at all
[10:05] <jea> #topic Review of past meetings
[10:06] <jea> The main topics have been to do with customisation for Australia
[10:06] <jea> In September we discussed modifying the installer slideshow
[10:08] <jea> I don't think we have done anything towards this yet, but I will have more time to investigate after this week is over
[10:08] <md_5> hey
[10:08] <jea> Hi md_5 
[10:08] <head_victim> I'm not sure but I thought sagaci was attending a meeting at UDS about it
[10:08] <head_victim> Evening md_5 
[10:12] <head_victim> I've had a few requests for the DVDs so they've been shipped, if anyone else have any other ideas for distribution let me know
[10:12] <jea> In October we discussed briefly the localisation package, which is something else to aim to finish soon
[10:13] <jea> #topic Revitalising Ubuntu-AU
[10:13] <jea> I think we need to come up with a plan to get more people involved, and run more events
[10:14] <jea> Reapproval is in 2013 (I think), so we need to get moving to ensure we can be approved again
[10:14]  * ben0nsoftware nods.
[10:14] <head_victim> For mine, people need to understand the events don't have to start out as more than 2 or 3 people getting together on a semi regularl basis
[10:14] <md_5> yeah, thats going to be scary
[10:15] <jea> I listened to the Loco session at UDS-R, which sagaci attended in person
[10:16] <jea> Some of the american teams were saying how they had regular meetings, which were sponsored by various industry people
[10:16] <jea> I think that could be harder in Australia, but might be something to look into
[10:16] <jea> Certainly the Market Day that head_victim ran was quite successful, so maybe another of these would be good
[10:18] <head_victim> jea: my understanding is the sponsorship was just about a place to be with maybe some refreshments
[10:19] <jea> Yes, that is what it sounded like
[10:19] <head_victim> So for example someone's boss letting them use a boardroom as a meeting area, a local coffee shop allowing use of wifi and some coffee, that sort of thign
[10:19] <head_victim> Just clarifying  in case some people thought it meant full on contracts and large overheads
[10:19] <jea> good idea. probably should have done that
[10:20] <head_victim> For example, the Brisbane City Council Library sponsored us a place to hold our installfest and blahdeblah's company sponsored the refreshments. It was by no means large amounts of formality
[10:21] <head_victim> It just meant that attendees could come along, get a cup of coffee and a cake and didn't have to pay anythign.
[10:21] <jea> That is all you really need for an event like that
[10:21] <head_victim> Canonical chip in with merchandise to give away and raffle off like we did
[10:22] <jea> When is Linux Conf?
[10:22] <jea> and where is it this time?
[10:22] <head_victim> January, I believe it's in Canberra
[10:24] <jea> Is there anyone in Ubuntu-AU who will be going to that?
[10:25] <jea> That is always a good place to hold a booth
[10:25] <head_victim> Not sure, I'll not be there due to funding and study commitments
[10:25] <head_victim> There is going to be an open day apparently - http://linux.conf.au/programme/saturday
[10:26] <jea> I also won't be there
[10:27] <head_victim> If some people were willing to put their hands up to run a stand there I"d be willing to post down the posters we used up here but also if I get enough notice I can organise a conference pack from Canonical
[10:27] <jea> I will definitely be holding a linux related session through the UQ Computing Society in Semester 2 next year (or end of Semester 1)
[10:27] <jea> to coincide with a linux based subject
[10:28] <head_victim> jea: give us all some notice and we can probably organise some help :)
[10:28] <jea> Yep, I will do that
[10:29] <jea> Hello simplechat_ 
[10:35] <jea> Well, I plan on finishing much of the localisation stuff over the next couple of months, so we can use it for 13.04
[10:35] <jea> maybe we could also make a 12.04 localised version, seeing as it is LTS
[10:40] <head_victim> Use 13.04 and 13.10 as a test for the next LTS
[10:41] <jea> that sounds like a good idea
[10:41] <head_victim> I'm assuming the next LTS is 14.04
[10:42] <jea> I would say so
[10:42] <jea> sagaci mentioned it as LTS, but I haven't checked
[10:55] <head_victim> So we seem to be at a standstill,a nyone else have anything to mention?
[10:56] <jea> I don't have anything else
[10:57] <jea> I think we may as well end the meeting
[10:57] <head_victim> Sounds good, thanks to those who popped in.
[10:57] <jea> The next meeting will be on December 9
[10:58] <jea> See you all then

[10:58] <head_victim> jea: thanks for organising and running the meeting
[10:58] <jea> that is alright
[10:58] <jea> hopefully we will pick up a bit more in the coming months
[10:58] <head_victim> Even just making sure we have them means there is an outlet for new people to come along
[10:59] <jea> Yes, I think so
[10:59] <jea> I will try to revitalise the wiki, make it a bit easier to understand
[10:59] <jea> and also see if the website can be improved (I haven't looked for a while)
[11:00] <head_victim> Go for it, the main component missing on the website is content.
