10:03:33 <head_victim> Evening all
10:03:39 <jea> Agenda http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-au/396/detail/
10:03:47 <ben0nsoftware> Evening.
10:03:59 <jea> Hi everyone
10:04:09 <jea> Not too much on the agenda tonight
10:05:52 <head_victim> Nope, not much at all
10:06:00 <jea> #topic Review of past meetings
10:06:32 <jea> The main topics have been to do with customisation for Australia
10:06:49 <jea> In September we discussed modifying the installer slideshow
10:08:12 <jea> I don't think we have done anything towards this yet, but I will have more time to investigate after this week is over
10:08:29 <md_5> hey
10:08:44 <jea> Hi md_5
10:08:46 <head_victim> I'm not sure but I thought sagaci was attending a meeting at UDS about it
10:08:49 <head_victim> Evening md_5
10:12:00 <head_victim> I've had a few requests for the DVDs so they've been shipped, if anyone else have any other ideas for distribution let me know
10:12:15 <jea> In October we discussed briefly the localisation package, which is something else to aim to finish soon
10:13:09 <jea> #topic Revitalising Ubuntu-AU
10:13:44 <jea> I think we need to come up with a plan to get more people involved, and run more events
10:14:13 <jea> Reapproval is in 2013 (I think), so we need to get moving to ensure we can be approved again
10:14:15 * ben0nsoftware nods.
10:14:32 <head_victim> For mine, people need to understand the events don't have to start out as more than 2 or 3 people getting together on a semi regularl basis
10:14:37 <md_5> yeah, thats going to be scary
10:15:34 <jea> I listened to the Loco session at UDS-R, which sagaci attended in person
10:16:03 <jea> Some of the american teams were saying how they had regular meetings, which were sponsored by various industry people
10:16:18 <jea> I think that could be harder in Australia, but might be something to look into
10:16:49 <jea> Certainly the Market Day that head_victim ran was quite successful, so maybe another of these would be good
10:18:28 <head_victim> jea: my understanding is the sponsorship was just about a place to be with maybe some refreshments
10:19:08 <jea> Yes, that is what it sounded like
10:19:12 <head_victim> So for example someone's boss letting them use a boardroom as a meeting area, a local coffee shop allowing use of wifi and some coffee, that sort of thign
10:19:27 <head_victim> Just clarifying  in case some people thought it meant full on contracts and large overheads
10:19:56 <jea> good idea. probably should have done that
10:20:41 <head_victim> For example, the Brisbane City Council Library sponsored us a place to hold our installfest and blahdeblah's company sponsored the refreshments. It was by no means large amounts of formality
10:21:16 <head_victim> It just meant that attendees could come along, get a cup of coffee and a cake and didn't have to pay anythign.
10:21:24 <jea> That is all you really need for an event like that
10:21:34 <head_victim> Canonical chip in with merchandise to give away and raffle off like we did
10:22:44 <jea> When is Linux Conf?
10:22:51 <jea> and where is it this time?
10:22:58 <head_victim> January, I believe it's in Canberra
10:24:38 <jea> Is there anyone in Ubuntu-AU who will be going to that?
10:25:15 <jea> That is always a good place to hold a booth
10:25:28 <head_victim> Not sure, I'll not be there due to funding and study commitments
10:25:49 <head_victim> There is going to be an open day apparently - http://linux.conf.au/programme/saturday
10:26:48 <jea> I also won't be there
10:27:12 <head_victim> If some people were willing to put their hands up to run a stand there I"d be willing to post down the posters we used up here but also if I get enough notice I can organise a conference pack from Canonical
10:27:47 <jea> I will definitely be holding a linux related session through the UQ Computing Society in Semester 2 next year (or end of Semester 1)
10:27:57 <jea> to coincide with a linux based subject
10:28:27 <head_victim> jea: give us all some notice and we can probably organise some help :)
10:28:44 <jea> Yep, I will do that
10:29:41 <jea> Hello simplechat_
10:35:45 <jea> Well, I plan on finishing much of the localisation stuff over the next couple of months, so we can use it for 13.04
10:35:59 <jea> maybe we could also make a 12.04 localised version, seeing as it is LTS
10:40:04 <head_victim> Use 13.04 and 13.10 as a test for the next LTS
10:41:04 <jea> that sounds like a good idea
10:41:23 <head_victim> I'm assuming the next LTS is 14.04
10:42:08 <jea> I would say so
10:42:27 <jea> sagaci mentioned it as LTS, but I haven't checked
10:55:18 <head_victim> So we seem to be at a standstill,a nyone else have anything to mention?
10:56:35 <jea> I don't have anything else
10:57:17 <jea> I think we may as well end the meeting
10:57:30 <head_victim> Sounds good, thanks to those who popped in.
10:57:51 <jea> The next meeting will be on December 9
10:58:02 <jea> See you all then
