| BobJonkman | Where should I make a request to have a Global LoCo Event for RaringRingtail Release Parties? | 20:28 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: hiya | 20:28 |
| BobJonkman | Hi czajkowski | 20:29 |
| czajkowski | I'll create that right now | 20:29 |
| czajkowski | 2 ticks :) | 20:29 |
| BobJonkman | Wonderful! | 20:29 |
| czajkowski | np | 20:29 |
| BobJonkman | Sadly, I don't yet have a party to host. We're short for a venue. | 20:29 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: where are you based? | 20:30 |
| BobJonkman | Waterloo, Ontario, Canada | 20:30 |
| BobJonkman | I hosted one last time, but the venue was a little un-party-like | 20:31 |
| czajkowski | nods | 20:32 |
| czajkowski | hard to find the right type tbh | 20:32 |
| czajkowski | pizza and quiz have worked for some in the past | 20:32 |
| BobJonkman | I'm hoping dscassel will spring to the fore with an offer of a venue at Kwartzlab (hint!) | 20:32 |
| czajkowski | heh | 20:32 |
| czajkowski | hmm lemie find my phone need to get my 2FA generator | 20:32 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2322/ | 20:39 |
| BobJonkman | Yay! | 20:39 |
| BobJonkman | Do you have the power to add existing release parties to the global event? | 20:40 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: I dont but you can go in and edit your event and add it to the global event | 20:42 |
| BobJonkman | OK. I see some parties already listed; I'll send an e-mail to the organizers to let them know about the global LoCo event | 20:43 |
| BobJonkman | ...and I hate to be a pest, but can you extend the closing date for the event? We were thinking of holding the release party a couple of weeks after the actual release date so we can distribute official disks (should Ubuntu-ca get its reapproval). Maybe until 12 May 2013? | 20:44 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: it is extended to may 25th | 20:45 |
| czajkowski | a whole month :) | 20:45 |
| BobJonkman | Double Yay! | 20:45 |
| * czajkowski double checks I did it right | 20:45 | |
| czajkowski | yup tis there may 25th | 20:45 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, looks good from here. | 20:46 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: I'll drop theother teams a mail now and let them know the global event is on | 20:46 |
| czajkowski | its never been aded really till the final month no sure why perhaps outta habbit | 20:46 |
| czajkowski | will ad a reminder for future releases to do it a bit earlier | 20:46 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: all contacted now | 20:52 |
| czajkowski | cheers | 20:52 |
| BobJonkman | Thanx, czajkowski! | 20:53 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: have you ever thought about just maybe going to a pub and reserving an area to have the release party | 20:54 |
| czajkowski | and then looking for another venue at a later date to do a talk hand out DVDs or what ever ye fancy doing ? | 20:54 |
| czajkowski | so do it a twao prong approach | 20:54 |
| czajkowski | I find sometimes people like one type over another | 20:54 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, we used to do that for our Ubuntu Hours in Waterloo | 20:54 |
| czajkowski | nods | 20:55 |
| BobJonkman | Didn't get much cooperation from the various establishments. Our reservation was bumped at one pub a bunch of times, and another venue started closing early... | 20:56 |
| BobJonkman | Also, in spite of being located in the prosperous Region of Blackberry, there are a large number of lcoal Ubuntu enthusiasts that find a commercial venue too expensive (dinner, drinks, &c.) | 20:57 |
| czajkowski | nods | 20:58 |
| czajkowski | BobJonkman: is there a uni/college near by ? | 20:58 |
| czajkowski | not familiar with the area | 20:58 |
| BobJonkman | So, last release party was held at our local St. John's Kitchen. It's a bit large, and there's no good place to set up lots of computers for installation. | 20:58 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, Waterloo has two unis, Wilfrid Laurier and UofWaterloo. | 20:59 |
| BobJonkman | But in order to run an event there has to be a campus-authorized club to host it. | 20:59 |
| BobJonkman | But I think I know someone who's involved in the UofW CS Club; I'll ask him too. | 21:00 |
| czajkowski | nods | 21:01 |
| czajkowski | that is what we've done in Limerick in ireland | 21:01 |
| czajkowski | is team up with the uni which works well I ended up doing a short talk last year of the new features plus then we went for pizza afterwards | 21:01 |
| czajkowski | no right or wrong way or best way imo | 21:02 |
| czajkowski | main thing is to have fun and spread some news about ubuntu :) | 21:02 |
| BobJonkman | Yes, parties have always been lots of fun... | 21:02 |
| BobJonkman | So, looking forward to another! | 21:03 |
