It was by no means large amounts of formality 10:21:16 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 That is all you really need for an event like that 10:21:34 Canonical chip in with merchandise to give away and raffle off like we did 10:22:44 When is Linux Conf? 10:22:51 and where is it this time? 10:22:58 January, I believe it's in Canberra 10:24:38 Is there anyone in Ubuntu-AU who will be going to that? 10:25:15 That is always a good place to hold a booth 10:25:28 Not sure, I'll not be there due to funding and study commitments 10:25:49 There is going to be an open day apparently - http://linux.conf.au/programme/saturday 10:26:48 I also won't be there 10:27:12 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 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 to coincide with a linux based subject 10:28:27 jea: give us all some notice and we can probably organise some help :) 10:28:44 Yep, I will do that 10:29:41 Hello simplechat_ 10:35:45 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 maybe we could also make a 12.04 localised version, seeing as it is LTS 10:40:04 Use 13.04 and 13.10 as a test for the next LTS 10:41:04 that sounds like a good idea 10:41:23 I'm assuming the next LTS is 14.04 10:42:08 I would say so 10:42:27 sagaci mentioned it as LTS, but I haven't checked 10:55:18 So we seem to be at a standstill,a nyone else have anything to mention? 10:56:35 I don't have anything else 10:57:17 I think we may as well end the meeting 10:57:30 Sounds good, thanks to those who popped in. 10:57:51 The next meeting will be on December 9 10:58:02 See you all then 10:58:06 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
