| ikt | i will see the meeting on | 07:31 |
| ikt | get ready for it | 07:31 |
| ikt | and then something inevitably distracts me | 07:31 |
| ikt | and I race back to find I missed it | 07:32 |

| jea | good to hear | 09:34 |
| jea | jared: I could be slightly late, but not too much | 09:39 |
| bash321 | just checking tonights topic is ubuntu australia release party?? | 10:01 |
| jea | Right, I am back and ready to go | 10:06 |
| jea | jared: around? | 10:06 |

| jea | #meetingtopic Ubuntu-AU March 2013 Team Meeting | 10:07 |
| jea | http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-au/543/detail/ | 10:08 |
| jea | I welcome everyone to the March 2013 Team Meeting | 10:10 |
| ikt | :D | 10:10 |
| bash321 | :) | 10:10 |
| jared | Sorry I"m late :/ | 10:10 |
| jea | Well, we had aimed to do a recap of 2012, and plan out 2013 | 10:10 |
| jea | jared: no problem - i only just opened the meeting | 10:10 |
| jea | #topic Recap of 2012 | 10:10 |
| jea | I think jared would be able to add to this also | 10:10 |
| jea | We had a number of meetings last year, only missing a couple | 10:10 |
| jea | We also held events during the Ubuntu Global Jams | 10:11 |
| bash321 | cool. | 10:11 |
| jea | and there were some release parties | 10:11 |
| jared | Meetings were good, online global jams were good and we had some release parties :) | 10:12 |
| jea | From memory, we are to be re-evaluated to be an official LoCo team this year | 10:12 |
| jared | jea: I think so | 10:13 |
| jea | So we need to ensure we keep up the work to be official again | 10:13 |
| jared | The main problem we're having issues with reapproval would be real world events. | 10:13 |
| jea | Unfortunately we have missed some things so far this year, mainly due to people being busy | 10:13 |
| jea | Holding physical release parties will help out that issue | 10:14 |
| jea | As would holding another Ubuntu information day as we held last year or the year before | 10:14 |
| jared | I get the feeling people think that lots of planning and organisation goes into real world meetings, quite the opposite of what usually ends up being required :) | 10:15 |
| bash321 | i think the info day sounds like a good idea... | 10:15 |
| jea | Yes, that is often the case | 10:15 |
| jea | bash321: what city are you in? | 10:15 |
| bash321 | sydney. | 10:15 |
| jea | cool. jpickett is doing a release party there, which we will get to later | 10:16 |
| bash321 | jea: what city are you in? | 10:16 |
| jea | jared and I are in Brisbane | 10:16 |
| bash321 | k cool. | 10:16 |
| jea | there used to be quite a few in Brisbane, some in Sydney, some in Melb, a couple in Adelaide | 10:17 |
| bash321 | jpickett: not on irc list atm. | 10:17 |
| jea | one or two in Perth | 10:17 |
| jea | no, he left a while ago unfortunately | 10:17 |
| jea | I will be holding an Ubuntu event at my uni later this year (july/aug) | 10:18 |
| ikt | Brisbane has been the hot spot for ubuntu release parties | 10:18 |
| jea | ikt: were you in Brisbane also>? | 10:18 |
| bash321 | k. i have never seen anyone in my area of sydney use ubuntu. | 10:18 |
| bash321 | i have used ubuntu since 2007. | 10:18 |
| ikt | jea: nah I'm in adelaide, feeling the cold :P | 10:19 |
| jea | ah, ok. I really must try to remember who is where | 10:20 |
| bash321 | a suggestion about...reapproval have ubuntu au made a g+ community page? | 10:20 |
| jared | I believe there is on | 10:20 |
| jea | Not a community page, because that wasn't around at the time. We do have a G+ page though | 10:21 |
| bash321 | should we change it to a community page? | 10:21 |
| jea | well, no community group, or whatever it is called | 10:21 |
| jea | That is something we could look into | 10:21 |
| ikt | yeah def | 10:22 |
| bash321 | im just suggesting as i am a g+ user... | 10:22 |
| jared | To be honest, I have no idea how social media works | 10:22 |
| ikt | and google hangouts! | 10:22 |
| bash321 | they are complicated but are lots of fun! | 10:22 |
| ikt | jared: 21st century called :P | 10:22 |
| ikt | even linus tovalds is on g+ | 10:22 |
| jared | I've never had time for it, but happy for others to play around :) | 10:22 |
| jared | Hey, I joined LinkedIn recently at the suggestion of my uni, I'm slowly getting there | 10:23 |
| bash321 | i see a lot of linux users that use g+ as i follow the omgubuntu sites and libreoffice sites. | 10:23 |
| ikt | lol | 10:23 |
| jea | ok, here is the community: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/114264208670057246365/communities/107973538671652290332 | 10:23 |
| bash321 | linkedin i have to look at... lol. | 10:23 |
| ikt | i only have facebooks, and I don't use it much | 10:24 |
| ikt | Join Google+ by creating your public profile | 10:24 |
| jea | Hangouts have been discussed in the past for meetings, and are certainly something we want to do | 10:24 |
| ikt | oh gawd | 10:24 |
| bash321 | thanks for the link.. | 10:24 |
| jea | ikt: we have a facebook page and group | 10:24 |
| bash321 | hangouts sometimes have problems with lagging broadband... | 10:24 |
| jea | the group is used more than the page though | 10:24 |
| bash321 | cool. | 10:24 |
| ikt | jea: jup, i'm on that one | 10:25 |
| jea | cool | 10:25 |
| jea | I think we use social media alright when we have events on | 10:26 |
| jea | the problem is a lack of events to keep things going | 10:26 |
| bash321 | we should also maybe put a link on the loco page as well r we allowed to do that put social networks on the loco pages? | 10:26 |
| jea | is that the loco.ubuntu.com page? | 10:26 |
| bash321 | the one for australia? | 10:26 |
| bash321 | this one... http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-au | 10:27 |
| bash321 | 2012 i think was a really good year for ubuntu.. the best i have seen... | 10:27 |
| jea | yes, that is it | 10:27 |
| jared | I just checked, there is no place for it | 10:27 |
| jea | We put most of those details on our wiki page | 10:27 |
| jared | It has Flickr group, PIcasa User ID, Pix.iie User ID and Microblogging hash tag options | 10:28 |
| jea | and we should put it on the website too (it has not been updated for a while) | 10:28 |
| bash321 | http://ubuntu.org.au/ | 10:28 |
| bash321 | ? | 10:28 |
| jea | yep | 10:29 |
| jared | I believe the main issue is really not a lot of people have time to do this stuff so happy to get those that are willing to step in access to make things happen again. | 10:30 |
| jared | Joel & Joel do a great job but they can't do it alone. ikt is flying the flag on the forums well :) | 10:31 |
| bash321 | time is also an issue for me. | 10:31 |
| ikt | i really want to get blinkin cat in here | 10:31 |
| ikt | might msg him now | 10:31 |
| jea | blinkin cat? | 10:32 |
| jea | If we all do a small part, we can get it done | 10:32 |
| ikt | http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1392276 | 10:33 |
| ikt | very active user | 10:34 |
| jea | Ok. I should get back on the forums at some point | 10:34 |
| ikt | but it's reality that our massive country works against us | 10:35 |
| jea | yes, that is a key point | 10:35 |
| ikt | which is why I think doing what the ubuntu guys did with UDS seems a great idea | 10:35 |
| jared | Yeah if all of us active people were in one city we'd probably be doing well about now :) | 10:35 |
| bash321 | at least its not as big as russia. | 10:35 |
| ikt | ha | 10:35 |
| ikt | that's true | 10:35 |
| ikt | the ubuntu peeps changed UDS from being a 6 monthly physical meeting to a 3 monthly virutal meeting | 10:36 |
| ikt | from what I have seen it has been a success | 10:36 |
| bash321 | virtual meeting does that require a g+ hangout? | 10:36 |
| jea | Maybe we could aim for more G+ Hangouts-on-air this year | 10:36 |
| jea | UDS used hangouts | 10:36 |
| bash321 | will there be a release party in sydney this year??? for 13.04 raring? | 10:37 |
| jea | Probably from this topic, the outcome is to ensure we keep up with the events, and investigate online events using hangouts | 10:37 |
| jared | bash321: did you want to organise one? :) | 10:37 |
| jea | and then we will move to the next topic | 10:37 |
| jea | #topic Release Parties Ubuntu 13.04 | 10:38 |
| bash321 | i saw on this link: | 10:38 |
| bash321 | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-au/2208/detail/ | 10:38 |
| jea | Yep, Joel Pickett is organising a Sydney Release Party | 10:38 |
| jared | bash321: ah there you go, I thought he'd organised one but wasn't sure. | 10:38 |
| bash321 | is he on irc atm? | 10:38 |
| jea | no | 10:39 |
| jea | he goes by sagaci or jpickett | 10:39 |
| bash321 | thanks. | 10:39 |
| bash321 | how big are release parties? | 10:39 |
| jared | He is usually around semi-regularly | 10:39 |
| jared | bash321: depends, anywhere from 3 - 4 people up to 10 - 15. | 10:39 |
| jared | They're not grand scale events, just a low key get together for people to share a conversation or three. | 10:40 |
| jea | Usually Joel has had a good number turn out | 10:40 |
| bash321 | cool. | 10:40 |
| jea | jared: are you doing anything around Brisbane this time? | 10:41 |
| bash321 | what date is 13.04 raring ringtail released? | 10:41 |
| jared | jea: honestly between work and uni I don't even know when the release is in my schedule | 10:41 |
| jared | I'll have a look now | 10:41 |
| jea | I am much the same | 10:42 |
| jared | Actually, that seems to work out okay. I'd pretty much be up for the same time/date as Joel's | 10:43 |
| jea | Ok. If past numbers come again, it should be good | 10:44 |
| jared | Cool, you up for it? | 10:45 |
| bash321 | raring is released on April 25th. | 10:45 |
| bash321 | 2013. | 10:45 |
| jea | Potentially could. I will have to see what assignments i have then | 10:45 |
| jared | My uni finishes the week before and starts up again the week following | 10:46 |
| jea | looks like the end of week 9 for me (need to double check though) | 10:47 |
| jea | I think it should be alright | 10:47 |
| bash321 | when is the next ubuntu au irc chat? | 10:47 |
| jared | bash321: we're always around, just not always at the computer. | 10:48 |
| jea | the channel is open 24/7 | 10:48 |
| jared | The next meeting is in a month's time, unless someone wants to start dabbling with the hangouts | 10:48 |
| jea | meetings are always the 2nd sunday of the month, starting at 8pm AEST | 10:48 |
| bash321 | k. | 10:48 |
| jea | (note, we don't use daylight saving time) | 10:48 |
| bash321 | i know y... | 10:49 |
| bash321 | sydney does.. | 10:49 |
| jea | we decided not to for meeting times to allow SA and WA to have nicer times | 10:49 |
| bash321 | can we create a test event on google plus for the event in sydney? | 10:49 |
| jea | yep, I can do that | 10:50 |
| bash321 | we should ask Joel first? | 10:50 |
| jea | He is happy for our events to be put on social media | 10:50 |
| jared | The more the merrier | 10:50 |
| jea | W[3~welcome BlinkinCat_ | 10:50 |
| jared | SPeaking of, gday BlinkinCat_ | 10:50 |
| jea | um, oops | 10:50 |
| BlinkinCat_ | Hi all | 10:50 |
| ikt | heya BlinkinCat_ :) | 10:51 |
| bash321 | how do ubuntu info days work? | 10:51 |
| ikt | g+ has changed a bit since I was on there last | 10:52 |
| bash321 | i have a thing called computer markets in sydney... on sundays where people sell computer parts.. | 10:52 |
| jared | bash321: essentially it was an idea that we should hold an installation day but then found a lot of people also wanted somewhere to ask support questions about their hardware as well. | 10:52 |
| bash321 | support is always very difficult. i find when i use ubuntu. | 10:53 |
| bash321 | but most of the time it works. | 10:53 |
| BlinkinCat_ | hi ikt | 10:53 |
| jea | ikt: it certainly has | 10:53 |
| jared | I am yet to encounter an issue google couldn't answer for me. | 10:53 |
| bash321 | google has a lot of answers. | 10:54 |
| bash321 | back to release parties will there be other release parties around australia? | 10:55 |
| bash321 | apart from sydney? | 10:56 |
| jared | bash321: sounds like jea and I might set something up for Brisbane | 10:57 |
| jared | Essentially it's down to the locals in each area. There is no real requirement for them to be considered official loco release parties, all they need to do is let people konw it's happening and when/where and we can publish it to the loco.u.c page | 10:57 |
| jea | bash321: I think I have created a G+ event now. Would be good to know if you can see it | 10:58 |
| bash321 | cool... | 10:58 |
| bash321 | yes i can see it. | 10:58 |
| bash321 | i have responded as maybe as i am not sure what i am doing in april with uni and work. | 10:58 |
| jea | great | 10:58 |
| jared | Hah, apparently 95 people have me in their circle. Gotta love gmail accounts | 11:01 |
| jea | you should post things more then | 11:02 |
| bash321 | most of my friends are on fb. | 11:02 |
| jared | I don't actually use G+ | 11:02 |
| bash321 | thus thats the problem. | 11:02 |
| jared | :) | 11:02 |
| bash321 | so i use g+ for following tech and ubuntu stuff. | 11:03 |
| jea | bash321: you can join our facebook group | 11:03 |
| jea | Is there anything else to discuss at this meeting? | 11:04 |
| bash321 | thanks. | 11:04 |
| BlinkinCat_ | Sorry I missed it | 11:04 |
| jea | BlinkinCat_: no problem. Glad you could be here for some of it | 11:04 |
| jea | #topic Next Meeting | 11:05 |
| BlinkinCat_ | No probs :) | 11:05 |
| jea | The next meeting will be held in #ubuntu-au on April 14, starting at 8pm AEST | 11:05 |
| jea | See you all there | 11:05 |
| jea | #endmeeting | 11:05 |

| bash321 | i think g+ is a really good idea. | 11:06 |
| bash321 | it has lots of social features. | 11:06 |
| jea | it is generally set out nicer than facebook | 11:07 |
| jea | just came along too late | 11:07 |
| jared | I have to run off to get ready for my lecture tomorrow night, sorry I can't hang around too long. | 11:10 |
| bash321 | just to let everyone know irc chat works well in empathy as expected. | 11:11 |
| jea | cya jared | 11:11 |
| jea | bash321: wonderful | 11:11 |
| bash321 | jea: what ubuntu version are you using currently now? | 11:12 |
| bash321 | i will see if i can attend the next irc.. in april.. as sunday is a convenient day. | 11:14 |
| jea | bash321: um, actually none | 11:16 |
| bash321 | have 2 go and get ready for uni tomorrow. cool irc chat.. | 11:16 |
| jea | i am using 12.04 for a uni subject, which is a nice change | 11:17 |
| jea | but I haven't been using it much recently due to other stuff I need to do | 11:17 |
| bash321 | cool.. im using 13.04 for uni it is lots of fun.. | 11:18 |
| bash321 | one thing i am annoyed about is proxies at uni. | 11:18 |
| jea | I would like to use ubuntu more | 11:18 |
| jea | like i used to | 11:19 |
| bash321 | proxy settings and internet connection dont work perfectly on ubuntu. | 11:19 |
| jea | hmm, I haven't had issues with proxies | 11:19 |
| bash321 | an issue probably for the forums when i get around to it. | 11:19 |
| bash321 | its not a specific ubuntu problem. | 11:19 |
| jea | that makes it harder then | 11:20 |
| bash321 | it occurs i think on other gnome 3 distros as well.. | 11:24 |
| jea | it is still worth raising the issue, so it can be investigated | 11:25 |
| bash321 | i will make a forum post hopefully in the near future... | 11:27 |
| bash321 | before next month.. | 11:27 |
| bash321 | g2g get ready for uni cya. bye. | 11:28 |
