 10:14:29 <jellyware> hey jared

 10:14:29 <head_victim> The agenda is listed there for anyone who hasn't seen it

 10:14:53 <head_victim> Good evening jellyware, we're only just starting as there's only md_5, kookey50 and yourself here for now.

 10:14:55 <jellyware> cheers buddy

 10:15:04 <md_5> greetings

 10:15:09 <jellyware> starts 8:30pm right?

 10:15:16 <md_5> 8

 10:15:18 <md_5> #lurk

 10:15:19 <jellyware> oh

 10:15:20 <head_victim> I believed it was meant to be 2000

 10:15:26 <jellyware> right...

 10:15:28 <md_5> Team Meeting: Sun 12/08/2012 @ 2000 AEST (GMT+10)

 10:15:31 <jellyware> aplogies

 10:15:44 <head_victim> No worries, you're here now, did you want to go over the topic you emailed me earlier?

 10:15:58 <jellyware> ubuntu friendly?

 10:16:01 <head_victim> Yep

 10:16:27 <jellyware> well folks head over to https://friendly.ubuntu.com/

 10:16:30 <head_victim> #topic Ubuntu Friendly

 10:16:41 <head_victim> #link https://friendly.ubuntu.com/

 10:16:59 <jellyware> great program of recommending systems that are friendly to ubuntu

 10:17:24 <jellyware> once you install there is an easy process of checking your system

 10:17:31 <head_victim> jellyware: I think it's good to let people konw what works. It would also make buying new hardware easier than trawling through generic websites.

 10:18:13 <jellyware> I think this program is not that old

 10:18:27 <jellyware> there is still a lot of hardware that needs to be checked

 10:18:35 <head_victim> I did see something a while ago like it but I think this particular version is pretty new.

 10:19:23 <jellyware> once you check your system using the tool provied in 12.04+ you can post your results on the ubuntu friendly webiste

 10:20:01 <head_victim> #link https://friendly.ubuntu.com/participate/

 10:20:32 <head_victim> It's a nice, easy way to help others in the community. No need to learn how to program, no need to turn up to an event miles away. Just 10 - 15 minutes of effort at home.

 10:21:14 <md_5> nice

 10:23:35 <md_5> as soon as Im donna Im gonna run the test and upload

 10:23:48 <jellyware> sweet md_5

 10:27:07 <head_victim> Well I guess we can move on to the next topic

 10:27:10 <head_victim> #topic CD Distribution

 10:27:12 <jellyware> yep

 10:27:27 <head_victim> I just wanted to bring up the fact that I still have about 100 CDs of Ubuntu 12.04 sitting here to distribute.

 10:27:39 <head_victim> If anyone has any good ideas on how to use them effectively I'm all ears.

 10:28:10 <jellyware> the new version drops in a couple of months

 10:28:57 <head_victim> Indeed, but also this is a LTS so it will still be useful

 10:29:13 <jellyware> if you run out of ideas I can send you fundage to send cds to me for distibution on ubuntu.net.au

 10:29:16 <md_5> ooh they improved the system test

 10:29:19 <jellyware> if you run out of ideas

 10:29:41 <jellyware> think we've lost md_5

 10:29:44 <head_victim> jellyware: how many do you think you could realistically use?

 10:29:50 <head_victim> Just want to put a number on it

 10:29:57 <jellyware> realistically.  not many

 10:29:57 <head_victim> 20, 50, all 100?

 10:30:22 <jellyware> we're running at an order every 2-3 days at the moment

 10:30:53 <jellyware> it was much busier when 12.04 first came out

 10:31:33 <jellyware> if I paypalled you, can you send me 20cds?

 10:31:34 <head_victim> Well I've found sending them in packs of 5 the most cost effective, they only charge 1.80 or so for that. As soon as you start putting in 10 or so it skyrockets to 5 or6 bucks a hit.

 10:32:30 <head_victim> md_5 or kookey50, would either of you have use for some 12.04 official CDs to hand out to friends, colleagues, randoms you meet?

 10:32:34 <jellyware> one day I will get back to my idea of getting them into public libraries

 10:32:47 <md_5> not any more use than making my own

 10:33:09 <head_victim> md_5: no worries, sometimes official looking ones in proper sleeves get better reception so just thought I"d offer.

 10:34:14 <jellyware> lets distribute them while they are still warm...

 10:36:14 <kookey50> burn my own as well

 10:36:17 <head_victim> I've handed 20 or so out, even got a copy on the lunch pc at work.

 10:37:01 <jellyware> I just asked my flatmate in the kitchen.  he's an it student at macquarie uni

 10:37:06 <jellyware> his friends could use some

 10:37:07 <jellyware> some

 10:38:15 <head_victim> jellyware: I'll put a bunch in a satchel for you to use as you can

 10:38:51 <jellyware> head_victim, how much can I sent you via paypal?

 10:39:58 <head_victim> You're in Sydney these days or still in Melbourne?

 10:40:25 <jellyware> sydney

 10:40:43 <head_victim> 3kg satchels are $11.40 so I'll just put some in that if you like

 10:41:49 <jellyware> cool

 10:42:17 <jellyware> just looking at austpost.  phew.  austpost says ubuntu is "ok" http://peter.id.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Screenshot.png

 10:42:35 <head_victim> If you email me your address I'll put it in the post

 10:42:59 <jellyware> sweet

 10:43:08 <head_victim> If anyone else can think of useful ways of distributing the CDs please let me know and I'll do the same.

 10:43:31 <jellyware> jared, is your gmail your paypal address?

 10:43:44 <head_victim> The only requirement I would like to put on the CDs is that if you receive them, you write an email or website story about how they're used :)

 10:43:45 <head_victim> jellyware: yeah that's it.

 10:46:20 <head_victim> Thanks everyone for attending, not sure why it was such a low turnout but perhaps we could be more proactive next time in announcing it. Sorry I forgot to put it out on the social media circles.

 10:46:33 <head_victim> Did anyone have anything to bring up that wasn't on the agenda?

 10:46:44 <jellyware> thanks for hosting head_victim
