Not sure if any of our members will take my place 19:17:38 Thats a pity but not to worry. 19:18:19 we'll wait for confirmation from infoturtle before promoting UGJ Limerick 19:18:44 carles-091labs definately next time eh? ;) 19:19:07 I'm at the space at the moment and talking with some of the members. One of them said that he will do it 19:19:30 cool :) 19:19:40 we can chat on that in a minute 19:19:46 ok 19:19:50 but that is brilliant. 19:20:03 #topic ACTION: tdr112 will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin 19:20:03 TOPIC: ACTION: tdr112 will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin 19:20:26 I know tdr112 asked TOG. 19:20:37 no confirmation as of yet though. 19:20:49 ebel do you know anything on this? 19:21:11 Yes 19:21:23 I will be organising the Dubin global jam in TOG 19:21:30 (at least I'll be approaching TOG about this) 19:21:58 I haven't done it yet, since tdr112 only told me yesterday 19:22:03 OK 19:22:26 But I'll do it within the next few days. It'll take ~ 5 days to get word back from the tog members to confirm/reject it 19:22:47 so we'll know within 5 or 6 days if we can have UGJ at TOG. I am optimistic 19:22:57 OK we'll leave it at that 19:23:16 #action ebel will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin 19:23:16 * meetingology ebel will ask TOG to once again host UGJ Dublin 19:23:23 moving on 19:23:33 the last action from July was 19:23:56 #topic ACTION: moylan to generate a doodle poll to decide on the location for the August geeknic 19:23:56 TOPIC: ACTION: moylan to generate a doodle poll to decide on the location for the August geeknic 19:24:19 moylan do you want to provide a synopsis? 19:25:04 first time using doodle. we got a fair number of votes and people selected st. stephens green. but about 1/3 who voted for their turned up. 19:25:32 at least the sun shone mostly 19:25:43 small turnout 19:25:44 can't really think of a better way to get the word out to more people. 19:25:53 but good company 19:26:17 good fun. i enjoyed it. pics will be good come next reapproval :-) 19:26:28 indeed 19:26:41 yep 19:26:57 slashtom has many :) 19:27:06 we'll move on to agenda items proper 19:27:19 found one on my samsung tab that's quite good. 19:27:27 #topic Ubuntu Global Jam 19:27:27 TOPIC: Ubuntu Global Jam 19:27:57 we have discussed venues already 19:28:09 Dublin and Limerick are in progress 19:28:41 Galway is also stepping up to the plate hopefully :) 19:29:12 carles-091labs you say you have news! 19:30:06 one of our members is going to host the event for me 19:30:18 :) 19:30:30 present 19:30:39 sorry guys for the late arrival 19:30:52 Not sure how succesfull this is going to be.
