=== jackson_ is now known as Noskcaj [07:10] HEY GUYS [07:17] hello [07:17] oh wait, he left lol [09:47] * OutOfControl has probably missed the meeting. [09:48] No, by my reckoning it should be in 10 minutes or so [09:49] O.o Ah, time zones has messed me up... [10:00] Hi everyone [10:00] Well, he was here [10:03] #startmeeting [10:03] Meeting started Sun Nov 11 10:03:20 2012 UTC. The chair is jea.

[10:03] Hi everyone [10:04] Not too much on the agenda tonight [10:05] Nope, not much at all [10:05] #topic Review of past meetings [10:06] The main topics have been to do with customisation for Australia [10:06] In September we discussed modifying the installer slideshow [10:08] 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] hey [10:08] Hi md_5 [10:08] I'm not sure but I thought sagaci was attending a meeting at UDS about it [10:08] Evening md_5 [10:12] 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] In October we discussed briefly the localisation package, which is something else to aim to finish soon [10:13] #topic Revitalising Ubuntu-AU [10:13] I think we need to come up with a plan to get more people involved, and run more events [10:14] 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] 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] yeah, thats going to be scary [10:15] I listened to the Loco session at UDS-R, which sagaci attended in person [10:16] Some of the american teams were saying how they had regular meetings, which were sponsored by various industry people [10:16] I think that could be harder in Australia, but might be something to look into [10:16] Certainly the Market Day that head_victim ran was quite successful, so maybe another of these would be good [10:18] jea: my understanding is the sponsorship was just about a place to be with maybe some refreshments [10:19] Yes, that is what it sounded like [10:19] 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] Just clarifying in case some people thought it meant full on contracts and large overheads [10:19] good idea. probably should have done that [10:20] 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] 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] That is all you really need for an event like that [10:21] Canonical chip in with merchandise to give away and raffle off like we did [10:22] When is Linux Conf? [10:22] and where is it this time? [10:22] January, I believe it's in Canberra [10:24] Is there anyone in Ubuntu-AU who will be going to that? [10:25] That is always a good place to hold a booth [10:25] Not sure, I'll not be there due to funding and study commitments [10:25] There is going to be an open day apparently - http://linux.conf.au/programme/saturday [10:26] I also won't be there [10:27] 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] 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] to coincide with a linux based subject [10:28] jea: give us all some notice and we can probably organise some help :) [10:28] Yep, I will do that [10:29] Hello simplechat_ [10:35] 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] maybe we could also make a 12.04 localised version, seeing as it is LTS [10:40] Use 13.04 and 13.10 as a test for the next LTS [10:41] that sounds like a good idea [10:41] I'm assuming the next LTS is 14.04 [10:42] I would say so [10:42] sagaci mentioned it as LTS, but I haven't checked [10:55] So we seem to be at a standstill,a nyone else have anything to mention? [10:56] I don't have anything else [10:57] I think we may as well end the meeting [10:57] Sounds good, thanks to those who popped in. [10:57] The next meeting will be on December 9 [10:58] See you all then [10:58] #endmeeting [10:58] Meeting ended Sun Nov 11 10:58:06 2012 UTC.
