 21:07:01 * ebel is not having luck with hitting the right keys today :P

 21:07:08 <ebel> #topic Review of previous action items

 21:07:15 <ebel> [topic] Review of previous action items

 21:07:35 * ebel is unsure if he's using meetingology correctly, aren't you supposed to get a PM when you do a command?

 21:07:47 <ebel> anyways, anyone wanna say anything on this topic?

 21:08:15 <infoturtle> what were the previous actions?

 21:08:32 <airurando> last one I think related to ebel mailing the list re CDs

 21:08:44 <airurando> no other actions I believe

 21:08:56 <ebel> yep, cds are next topic.

 21:09:27 <airurando> yip move on

 21:09:40 <ebel> #topic Report on Oneric CD Distribution

 21:09:59 <ebel> as you know we got ~250 cds from canonical of offical professionally manufactured cds of 11.10

 21:10:06 <ebel> for distrubution around ireland

 21:10:57 <infoturtle> Have many claimed them yet?

 21:11:04 <ebel> I've emailed the mailing list and gotten some replies for worthy causes

 21:11:13 * slashtommy suggests an Ubuntu Hour next weekend to distribute them

 21:11:19 <ebel> I have given ~ 10ish to benchapman/thejetset for codedojo

 21:11:29 <ebel> and similar left some at TOG, the dublin hackersapce

 21:11:42 <imgarysmith> ebel I emailed you a few mins ago about it

 21:12:00 <ebel> I'll need to email people who replied already and ask them to send me a SAE so I can send them

 21:12:05 <ebel> (If you're outside dublin)

 21:12:15 <infoturtle> Can do

 21:12:20 <ebel> inside dublin, i presume a physical meetup would be easiest for all around

 21:12:28 <infoturtle> There's a few places I wish to drop them off to

 21:12:41 <ebel> So if you think you could use some cds, email me: rory@technomancy and tell me what you'd do with them

 21:12:58 <ebel> uptake has been less than last time alas

 21:13:14 <airurando> ebel, infoturtle I should be able to drop some to Limerick early December

 21:13:15 <ebel> some good news: the folks in limerick co.co. are still using ubuntu, so I'll send some down there

 21:13:25 <infoturtle> is that technomancy.ie or .com?

 21:13:31 <ebel> infoturtle: .org

 21:13:42 <infoturtle> cheers

 21:13:43 <ebel> (or yeah, forgot to include a TLD :P )

 21:13:51 <ebel> so email me: rory@technomancy.org

 21:14:07 <ebel> Any questions? comments? feedback?

 21:14:29 <infoturtle> how much postage should I cover?

 21:14:59 <infoturtle> sorry, just saw airurando, that would be great if you could

 21:15:09 <ebel> I'm not sure. I posted them last time in a postoffice and your one weighed them and said diue to size that it was a 'small parcel'

 21:15:18 <ebel> think it was €1.50 maybe....

 21:15:20 <ebel> or €2

 21:15:30 <infoturtle> ah grand

 21:15:41 <ebel> deffo sub €5

 21:16:05 <ebel> (shame there's no easy way to get refund on unused stamps...)

 21:16:21 <ebel> anything else?

 21:16:36 <ebel> #action ebel to reply to people already contacted wrt to cds

 21:16:36 * meetingology ebel to reply to people already contacted wrt to cds

 21:17:19 <ebel> Once I've distributed some CDs, we'll see how many are left, maybe another ask the list situtation

 21:17:27 <ebel> #topic Wiki vs LoCo Team Portal from airurando

 21:17:34 <ebel> airurando: care to take it away?

 21:17:54 <airurando> thanks ebel

 21:18:27 <airurando> Can we drop recording event and meeting details on the Wiki? We have been dual recording these details on the Wiki and in the LoCo Team Portal (formerly the LoCo Dir) for several months now.

 21:18:50 <slashtommy> aye, i highlighted this problem over a year ago

 21:19:02 <airurando> aye slashtommy

 21:19:21 <slashtommy> have one place for events, and everything else points to the one source

 21:19:22 <infoturtle> seems like a good idea, no need for more than one copy

 21:19:40 <slashtommy> exactly, same goes for facebook and google+

 21:19:45 <airurando> but I was happy to run then in parallel until we were sure the LoCo Team Portal was for us.

 21:20:18 <airurando> *them

 21:20:19 * ebel is relatively disinterested in the outcome, and sees no massive difference between the two

 21:20:48 <infoturtle> agrees

 21:21:03 <slashtommy> grand, it's decided then

 21:21:21 <ebel> ok

 21:21:27 <airurando> cool wiki dropped

 21:21:32 <ebel> #agreed IrishTeam wiki page to be deleted

 21:21:34 <ebel> right?

 21:21:37 <ebel> or:

 21:21:42 <ebel> #agreed IrishTeam wiki page to be abandoned

 21:21:51 <slashtommy> point it to the loco

 21:21:58 <ebel> kewl

 21:22:07 <ebel> next:

 21:22:10 <ebel> #topic Adding admins to facebook page or and RSS updater

 21:22:14 <ebel> from infoturtle

 21:22:50 <infoturtle> Ya, time is no longer my friend and maybe if we had more admins to post events and such on facebook then user there would get more from it

 21:23:05 <infoturtle> I can be quite forgetful too and just forget to add things

 21:23:25 <slashtommy> infoturtle: see above

 21:23:28 <infoturtle> at the moment I'm the only one who can use facebook as the Ubuntu-ie page

 21:23:32 <slashtommy> have one place for events, and everything else points to the one source

 21:24:09 * ebel has no problem being a facebook admin, but cannot really commit to doing much actually with it

 21:24:14 <infoturtle> indeed, I'm saying my problems is not being able to update the page, unless I do it via auto RSS

 21:24:16 <airurando> slashtommy you know there are people who use facebook but not the loco

 21:24:19 <ebel> wonder if you can pull stuff in from L.D.

 21:24:33 <infoturtle> via rss you can

 21:24:54 <infoturtle> I have an account for one of those auto feed I could just like if that's cool with everybody

 21:25:08 <airurando> infoturtle I'd be happy to be an admin also

 21:25:09 <infoturtle> *link instead of like

 21:25:11 <infoturtle> soory

 21:25:24 <infoturtle> airurando fantastic

 21:25:30 <ebel> rss sounds like it might solve a lot of problems?

 21:25:33 <slashtommy> airurando: i suggest linking to the LD

 21:25:39 <slashtommy> from the facebook page

 21:25:55 <airurando> can we do that?

 21:26:09 <airurando> if so who will do that?

 21:26:15 <infoturtle> I wouldn't know how to link to the LD

 21:26:40 * ebel hopes there's just an RSS feed somewhere

 21:27:45 <airurando> identica can post to twitter and twitter then to normal facebook accounts (not sure about group pages)

 21:28:37 * ebel is unsure

 21:28:40 <infoturtle> airurando, could be perfect if it did

 21:28:58 <airurando> I suppose the topic was simply to add more admins

 21:29:05 <infoturtle> will I check that out and if not link an RSS to it and make airurando admin anyway?

 21:29:06 <airurando> are we drifting

 21:29:40 <ebel> well perhaps, but would sorting out auto rss remove the need for more admins?

 21:30:13 <airurando> can we do that in the context of this meeting?

 21:30:29 <ebel> infoturtle: your call, you're admining it now.

 21:30:33 <infoturtle> handy to have more anyway so it's not just me as admin. Just in case anything needs to be added or changed

 21:30:47 <ebel> wanna make it easy for you, just put me, and I presume, airurando down as admins

 21:30:56 <infoturtle> cool, will do then

 21:31:01 <ebel> wanna do a long term solution, then figure oiut some rss?

 21:31:23 <infoturtle> perfect

 21:31:41 <ebel> kewl

 21:31:51 <ebel> #topic A google + page? from infoturtle again

 21:32:12 <infoturtle> ya, now that g+ allows pages I see an awful lot of locos starting pages

 21:32:22 <infoturtle> do we want one or is what we have enough?

 21:32:53 <ebel> you wanna set one up?

 21:33:01 <airurando> I think we shoud generate one and park it until we sort it all out.

 21:33:30 <airurando> whatever the major social platforms are we should have a presence.

 21:33:32 <infoturtle> I can do ya, but g+ doesn't support multi admins yet

 21:33:33 <imgarysmith> It can't be any harm having one, spread the Ubuntu love

 21:33:49 <infoturtle> so if I do it it'll just be me till they allow it

 21:34:02 <slashtommy> infoturtle: if you want to set one up, go for it

 21:34:12 * ebel would have no problem with that personally

 21:34:26 <airurando> fine by me

 21:34:41 <infoturtle> cool, I'll part it for now and see how it takes

 21:34:45 <ebel> kewl

 21:34:46 <infoturtle> *park

 21:34:54 <infoturtle> god dam typing skills

 21:34:54 <ebel> #topic AOB?

 21:35:13 <slashtommy> ubuntu hour?

 21:36:17 <airurando> 02 Dec 11?

 21:36:27 <airurando> czajkowski is home I think?

 21:36:28 <slashtommy> laura is here!

 21:36:44 <ebel> yes

 21:36:50 <ebel> #topic Ubuntu Hour

 21:37:05 <slashtommy> good plan, i will consult czajkowski arrange a date/location and tell everyone

 21:37:23 <ebel> kewl

 21:37:32 <airurando> cool

 21:37:46 <airurando> I've 2 more things

 21:37:53 <airurando> team reports

 21:38:05 <airurando> and

 21:38:19 <airurando> meeting structure and schedule

 21:39:06 <airurando> ebel can you #topic the first

 21:39:18 <ebel> #topic team reports

 21:39:37 <airurando> we haven't published a team report since August

 21:40:01 <airurando> tdr112 is our lead on this but he is very busy.

 21:40:19 <airurando> I've been chatting to hime and I had hoped he would be here.

 21:40:29 <ebel> oh yes, tdr112's been working lots

 21:40:50 <airurando> during our chats he stated he would look for new blood to help with the team reports.

 21:41:05 <airurando> was gonna ask here.

 21:41:42 <airurando> The Reports were a great help for our reapproval application during the Summer.

 21:41:53 <airurando> To drift away from them is not good.

 21:42:03 <airurando> any volunteers?

 21:43:09 <infoturtle> I'm quite tied as it is but if no one else does I can try

 21:43:15 <ebel> yeah

 21:43:24 <infoturtle> it would be a shame to see that part just fall off

 21:43:28 * ebel probably won't have time...

 21:43:56 <airurando> I've helped a bit in the past but I was hopeing someone else could chip in

 21:45:11 <infoturtle> will we put it to the mailing list?

 21:45:20 <ebel> probably best

 21:45:20 <infoturtle> in case someone not present would like to try it

 21:45:28 <airurando> I'd like tdr112 to lead this

 21:45:49 <airurando> ansd that is prob a goo idea infoturtle

 21:46:01 <airurando> move on

 21:46:26 <ebel> yeah

 21:46:27 <airurando> meeting structure/schedule

 21:46:36 <ebel> #topic meeting structure/schedule

 21:47:04 <airurando> do we need to introduce more flexibility into our scheduling?

 21:47:34 <airurando> I championed the 3rd Weds idea but is it working?

 21:48:07 <infoturtle> Well all here may say it suits, we need that people that can't make it to comment on this

 21:48:12 <ebel> TBH something that annoyed me with the meeting was the length (usually 1½ hrs), rather than day time

 21:48:13 <infoturtle> perhaps?

 21:48:25 * ebel has no objection to weds or other nights

 21:48:34 <airurando> Are folks happy toI hear you ebel

 21:48:35 * ebel slightly prefers the 9pm, gives time for dinner etc.

 21:48:51 <imgarysmith> 9pm suits me better too

 21:49:01 <airurando> me three

 21:49:12 <infoturtle> I good with it

 21:49:37 <airurando> infoturtle it was mentioned on the mailing list and the response was nil

 21:49:47 <infoturtle> fair nuff

 21:49:53 <infoturtle> can't do more for them so

 21:49:57 <airurando> ok stick with 3rd Weds and 9pm

 21:50:02 <ebel> yeah

 21:50:06 <infoturtle> agreed

 21:50:14 <ebel> no objections, so stick with it. :)
