[08:35] <dholbach> good morning
[08:36] <popey> Good morning Mr Holbach!
[08:36] <popey> Left in a bit of a hurry yesterday, wanted to say that I enjoyed our Q&A yesterday.
[08:37] <MooDoo> oh bloomin eck was that streamed, I knew there was something i wanted to watch
[08:38] <dholbach> popey: yes, same here :)
[08:39] <dholbach> it was good fun :)
[08:55] <davidcalle> Morning o/
[09:41] <czajkowski> Aloha
[09:51] <popey> yo
[10:00] <czajkowski> hows everyone?
[10:00] <czajkowski> nice to see so many canonical folks at FOSDEM
[10:01] <MooDoo> howdy czajkowski
[11:06] <popey> mhall119, looks like that selfie button might get support at some point :) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/camera-app/+bug/1451724
[11:18] <dholbach> dpm: as there were no objections, I announced the UOS dates (3-5 May) - I guess we should start planning in about 4-6 weeks?
[11:19] <dpm> thanks for taking care of it dholbach
[11:57] <dpm> dholbach, popey, mhall119, davidcalle, balloons, I've been thinking of next year's focus as we discussed recently. One of the things that I've had in my mind has been to review the way and tools we use for communication. I think it might be worth revisiting things like how we use the Fridge (and the fact that the site is in need of an update), the community site and IRC
[11:57] <dpm> in particular now that more folks are using Telegram, and creating new groups there
[11:57] <dholbach> nice one
[11:57] <dholbach> might be a good topic for UOS as well
[11:57] <dpm> yeah
[11:58] <dholbach> it'll be hard though to make the discussion focused and less about one's personal gripes with tool X :)
[11:58] <dpm> :-)
[11:58] <dholbach> but still a very useful discussion, yes
[11:59] <dpm> As much as I love IRC, the recent discussions about communication tools in the snappy team have made me think we should look at other ways that might be just as open but friendlier to new contributors for whom IRC might be a hurdle to join
[12:01] <dpm> I know some folks love slack, but I'd rather not go down that route, and propose a trial of an open source tool such as mattermost
[12:01] <dholbach> that reminds me... I still need to write that doc
[12:01] <dholbach> I'll do this right after lunch
[12:07] <svij> that's an interesting topic
[12:08] <dpm> hi svij, how are you doing?
[12:08] <svij> I'm fine, I think I'm over my jetlag! and you? :)
[12:08] <dpm> grett blog post on UbuCon, btw! :)
[12:08] <dpm> or rather *great :)
[12:08] <dpm> I think I'm over it, yeah, this time it really caught me
[12:09] <svij> thanks!
[12:09] <svij> Well, I came back on saturday
[12:09] <dpm> did you enjoy San Francisco?
[12:10] <svij> yeah, cm-t and I walked *a lot*
[12:10] <dpm> :)
[12:10] <svij> (like >15km a day)
[12:10] <dpm> oh, wow!
[12:12] <dpm> svij, on another topic, now that UbuCon Summit is over (and we're starting to plan the next one :), we should start getting together for UbuCon Europe planning
[12:12] <svij> btw UbuCon Blog posts: Am I the only one, who didn't see/read any UbuCon blog posts except that from pleia2?
[12:12] <svij> dpm: yeah
[12:13] <dpm> I've not seen other ones either, but I know some folks are drafting posts
[12:13] <svij> dpm: I wanted to do some brainstorming about the content of the website on the weekend. maybe we should do an meeting afterwards?
[12:14] <dpm> sure
[12:15] <svij> but I prefer next month… two exams and my book deadline coming up this month :/
[12:17]  * dholbach relocates to the office, bbiab
[12:18] <dpm> svij, of course, whenever you've got time. But I think we should start doing some planning during that time, as the UbuCon date is coming close. Maybe we can meet with SturmFlut or other organizers, or help with preparing something else in the meantime?
[12:19] <svij> dpm: well only a meeting is fine in the next week, can't do much above that
[12:19] <svij> also we must think of ubucontest 2.0
[12:21] <svij> but I think we have two new people for organising ubucontest
[12:21]  * svij asks them
[12:21] <dpm> svij, yeah, I'm just thinking of what we can do to help in the time you're busy with other stuff, so that others can chip in
[12:22] <svij> well pretty important are sponsors, to reduce the price of 25€ per person per day
[12:23] <svij> but searching for sponsors without a proper website is not that ideal
[12:25] <dpm> svij, yeah, but before contacting sponsors we need the outline of the event, talks, etc. I think that should be the first step. As per the website, as I said before, I'd recommend using ubucon.org, which is already set up and UbuCon organizers have full access to
[12:26] <svij> yes, I talked about the ubucon.org website recently with popey and dholbach in our telegram group. I'll choose ubucon.org, less work for everyone (in case of maintaining)
[12:27] <dpm> cool
[12:28] <svij> there are already a couple of wiki pages regarding the event: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuconEu/UbuconEu2016
[12:29] <dpm> yeah, I remember those when Sturmflut created them. I think these can remain (and grow) there, as they are useful for planning
[12:30] <svij> yep
[12:30] <svij> we had a similar structure for ubucon.de anyway
[12:30] <dpm> great
[12:32] <dpm> svij, so shall we put together a kickoff meeting for next week? (only if you've got time, though)
[12:34] <svij> dpm: yep
[12:35] <svij> dpm: monday or tuesday are good
[12:36]  * dpm checks calendar
[12:37] <svij> or wednesday morning
[12:37] <dpm> svij, Tuesday, 15:30?
[12:37] <svij> dpm: check
[12:37] <dpm> Cool
[12:37] <dpm> svij, who else should we invite from the organization team? Simon? Someone else?
[12:38] <svij> I've just asked Simon, not sure about the others, many will be busy at work
[12:38] <dpm> ok, let me put it in the calendar for now. If another time works best for him or the others, we can just change it
[12:39] <dpm> happy to do it later if it works better for everyone
[12:39] <svij> well, I don't want too many people in the first meeting
[12:39] <svij> toddy: --- what about you?
[12:40] <svij> (see above)
[12:43] <dpm> sent the invite for now, everyone should be able to add new participants or modify it  if another time works best
[12:43] <dpm> and the Ubuntu wheel keeps turning... finished an UbuCon and starting to plan two more... :-)
[13:24] <svij> dpm: simon doesn't have time, fyi.
[13:28] <dpm> svij, ok, thanks for the heads up!
[13:41] <toddy> svij: Tuesday 15.30? european timezone?
[13:41] <svij> toddy: yes
[13:42] <svij> for like ~30min
[13:44] <toddy> svij: I am at work than, but I think I can be in a chat with one and an half eye.
[13:44] <svij> we'll do an hangout
[13:47] <toddy> I have other 17 people in my office (our office is telephone free) and we have not very much meeting rooms. that will be a little bit tricky for me.
[13:49] <svij> oh ok
[14:23]  * balloons waves to svij
[14:23]  * svij waves back to balloons
[14:45] <mhall119> popey: cool, I tried adding functionality for it after I got home from SCALE, but couldn't figure out the FocusScope stuff
[16:00] <dholbach> balloons, dpm, mhall119: yo yo yo - team call?
[16:01] <dpm> dholbach, omw!
[16:01] <balloons> going to be 15 mins late
[16:02] <dpm> davidcalle, joining us?
[16:02] <davidcalle> dpm: yep yep
[16:41] <balloons> we're all so chatty today!
[16:46] <popey> OMG you guys should come over to slack, it's so much better! :D
[16:48] <dpm> lol
[17:07] <MooDoo> typical ubuntu channel, sooooo quiet ;)
[17:12] <dholbach> all right my friends ... I call it a day - see you all tomorrow!
[17:13]  * belkinsa hugs dholbach
[17:13]  * dholbach hugs you all :)
