[00:00] <Weudel> Good evening
[00:02] <Weudel> This is our first meeting of the year and there are some pretty exciting things in the Ubuntu world that have come to light in the last month
[00:03] <Weudel> First, though, anyone lurking feel free to introduce yourself.
[00:05] <Weudel> If we get more people in here I would like to discuss the direction of this group, but for now, I'll briefly go over the Ubuntu Phone...
[00:06] <Weudel> Last year, Canonical announced the Ubuntu for Android project, which would work as an Android overlay in phone mode, but allow a full desktop experience when docked.
[00:07] <Weudel> Ubuntu for Android is supposed to be ready for testing early this year, and I hope to be one of the ones using it.
[00:08] <Weudel> Earlier this month, Canonical announced the further direction of that project, which will be a standalone Ubuntu phone OS.
[00:09] <Weudel> From the intro videos it looks pretty compelling, and should be aimed at developing markets, as well as us enthusiasts.
[00:10] <Weudel> At this point does anyone have questions or anything to add?
[00:12] <Weudel> Okay, the 13.04 release is right around the corner, and there are new features being unveiled all the time.
[00:13] <Weudel> for updates, check omgubuntu
[00:15] <Weudel> If anyone has any ideas for reaching other members of our community or better venues for these meetings, please let me know.
[00:18] <Weudel> I'll continue to post on Facebook and Google+ to try to get solid meetings going. I'll try again in a couple weeks.
[00:18] <Weudel> Thank you
