| jea | Hi ScottHarrison | 10:15 |
| ScottHarrison | hi Jea. | 10:15 |
| jea | Here for the meeting? | 10:15 |
| ScottHarrison | I knew it was on, more just dropping in to observe than anything else. | 10:15 |
| jea | Ok | 10:15 |
| jea | Well I haven't started it yet, because nobody else has indicated they are around | 10:16 |
| ScottHarrison | ok | 10:16 |
| jea | jared is away tonight, but I thought there would be some others | 10:16 |
| ScottHarrison | I'll probably be heading to bed shortly, I've got a cold but have to make it to work tomorrow. | 10:17 |
| jea | Ok. Well, while you are here, what are your thoughts on the re-approval of Ubuntu Australia? | 10:18 |
| ScottHarrison | I think it would be a positive move but to be quite frank, if this is the turnout for a meeting, do we have any hope? | 10:18 |
| jea | At this stage no | 10:19 |
| jea | We are actually doing less now than the last reapproval time, which was rejected for other reasons | 10:19 |
| ScottHarrison | I think we're lacking a core group of "activists" for want of a better word. | 10:20 |
| jea | I suspect we would have more chance in a year or so, once a few more of us have more time available | 10:20 |
| ScottHarrison | and by that I don't mean lacking interested people, I mean lacking interested people able to devote a substantial amount of time to activity. | 10:21 |
| jea | Yes, that is the problem at the moment | 10:21 |
| jea | The few of us who have been organising things in the past have been a lot busier outside over the past few months, so not much has got off the ground | 10:22 |
| ScottHarrison | I understand that, I'm working full time and about to start studying part time as well. | 10:23 |
| jea | The other issue we struggle with is the physical size of Australia | 10:23 |
| jea | it is much harder to get events running all around the country | 10:24 |
| jea | ScottHarrison: which state are you in? | 10:24 |
| ScottHarrison | Vic. | 10:24 |
| ScottHarrison | I'm an hour from Melbourne though, so since a lot of Linux related events are in Melbourne and Mon-Fri, attending events is complicated. | 10:25 |
| jea | Right. We have a few members from each state, but no 'leaders' as such for most | 10:25 |
| jea | That would make it harder for you | 10:25 |
| jea | What type of events would you be interested in participating in? | 10:27 |
| ScottHarrison | I would be interested in public facing events, helping people install/use Ubuntu, I'm a support technician, so helping end users is my bread and butter. | 10:28 |
| ScottHarrison | but also intermediate/advanced tutorials for more season users would be nice too, maybe some python workshops etc. | 10:29 |
| ScottHarrison | I could help a fair bit with the former but my skills aren't quite up for teaching more than the basics of Ubuntu. | 10:29 |
| jea | Last year jared ran a Ubuntu open day sort of thing in Brisbane. It worked fairly well, and might be something you could look at | 10:30 |
| jea | Would you be able to run an online session within the Ubuntu jams? | 10:30 |
| jea | (just thinking of different things that we could do) | 10:31 |
| ScottHarrison | what would that entail? | 10:31 |
| jea | Basically using IRC or something like a Gogle+ hangout to teach a topic to people who come along | 10:32 |
| jea | We have done them in the past for Translations, and a couple of other areas | 10:32 |
| ScottHarrison | yeah, it's something I would consider | 10:32 |
| jea | Great :) | 10:33 |
| ScottHarrison | If you like, drop me an email with an overview of whatever plan you have to get us reapproved, along with some particular jobs that need to be completed. I will take a look at it and see what I can fit in to whatever spare time I have. | 10:35 |
| ScottHarrison | my email is scott@scottharrison.com.au | 10:35 |
| jea | Ok, sure. Are you on the mailing list at the moment? | 10:36 |
| ScottHarrison | yeah, I am. | 10:40 |
| ScottHarrison | Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you, I'm off to bed. Goodnight. | 10:40 |
