Is it worth keeping up or will the loco.ubuntu do (with twitter/G+ accounts etc.)? 20:10:57 no website 20:11:11 no need for a host 20:11:15 Victor9098: there is no website. No-one has created or set up or maintained the website. 20:11:18 we never use it 20:11:25 Hence why I'm leaning towards cancellation. 20:11:27 ok...thats that then :D 20:11:35 we have had it for 2 years and not done anything 20:11:41 Seems reasonable. 20:11:45 I always go to and link to the loco.ubuntu 20:11:53 ebel: call a vote on it 20:11:56 twas a nice idea. Alas nothing happened 20:12:03 #vote should we cancel website? 20:12:03 Please vote on: should we cancel website? 20:12:03 Public votes can be registered by saying +1, +0 or -1 in channel, (private votes don't work yet, but when they do it will be by messaging the channel followed by +1/-1/+0 to me) 20:12:16 er +1 for 'yes cancel it' -1 for 'no ask for another year' 20:12:21 +1 20:12:21 +1 received from ebel 20:12:21 +1 20:12:21 +1 received from Victor9098 20:12:23 +1 20:12:23 +1 received from tdr112 20:12:33 +1 20:12:33 +1 received from zmoylan 20:12:49 Where is my plus sign? 20:12:56 ;) 20:13:10 +1 20:13:10 +1 received from Mokmeister 20:13:35 consensus seems clear… 20:14:04 #endvote 20:14:04 Voting ended on: should we cancel website? 20:14:04 Votes for:5 Votes against:0 Abstentions:0 20:14:04 Motion carried 20:14:19 poor old airurando's internet is poor… 20:14:24 We really do not need to be paying for hosting, plenty of options to get the message out and raise awareness 20:14:33 anything else on the website? 20:14:46 Victor9098: aye, we have a good bare minimum now 20:15:02 ebel: can we email blacknight and thank them 20:15:17 tdr112: yes, I'll do that. 20:15:18 for the hosting so far so we leave on good terms 20:15:31 yes, it was very kind of them to do that for us. 20:15:46 Should we thank them publicly? 20:16:06 Mokmeister: yes. 20:16:07 awful shame we never got up and running with a website on blacknight. 20:16:39 airurando2: aye. 20:16:42 Yeah 20:16:59 #topic CDs 20:17:15 right, we (i.e. I) have the ubuntu ie loco set of CDs for this release. 20:17:43 They are from canonical, professional pressed CDs, and for promotion of ubuntu within ireland 20:17:55 if you think you can help with that, send me a SAE and i'll send you some CDs. 20:18:07 we could give some out at makerfaire 20:18:12 uptake has been… slow… there are loads of CDs left. 20:18:19 suggestions welcome… 20:18:55 I just upgraded all the fam over the web (and always have a LiveUSB on me :D ) 20:18:56 tdr112: good idea. I was tempted to go to that. P'haps I should hand you over some CDs shortly just in case 20:19:04 Ebel, as I said, I've put out an ad at work, have 12 requests already. 20:19:21 Mokmeister: kewl. yep saw them emails. Good to see interest 20:19:46 Did you get the sae yet? Probably not 20:20:00 I only sent it monday 20:20:28 Mokmeister: not yet 20:20:59 any other ideas wrt CDs? 20:21:15 airurando made a good point (ages ago) that since this is a LTS, it'll be useful for years for people. 20:21:15 have another ubuntu hour in late july 20:21:35 So there's no rush to get rid of these soon. They won't be obseleted in a few months 20:22:23 I think the life long learning festivals in Cork and Limerick could be a good place to use these CDs 20:22:40 Indeed. 20:23:03 The lifelong learning festival in limerick was in may though I thought? 20:23:05 people from both Nexus cork and MilkLabs Limerick have expressed initial interest 20:23:09 maybe if we hit up some coder dojos 20:23:39 Mokmeister indeed, I'm thinking 2013 20:23:47 I think the coder dojos would be a great idea 20:23:59 aye coder dojo is a good idea 20:24:16 ok how about i take up the job of contacting some of them 20:25:06 Yeah, I could contact some in Limerick, Clare, maybe Kerry area 20:25:18 that would be very helpful 20:25:28 since we need to knock on their door 20:26:01 Email? 20:26:14 yeah, email em all 20:27:22 i will contact some of the dublin ones 20:27:37 I was only looking into coder dojos there the other day (my kids are 8 and 7), and of the ones I liked at seem to be contactable electronically 20:27:57 Looked 20:28:14 If there is a meetup in Dublin soon i'd like to take some. 20:28:22 I'm doing this from my phone, you'll have to forgive me! 20:28:38 thanks guys 20:28:50 another ubuntu hour is prob a good idea, sometime 20:30:02 so if the coder dojos say "yes please", what do ye wanna do? Just send them my address? I can do the stuffing envelopes? Something else? 20:30:26 (likewise lifelong learning, will people (who?) do the same again?) 20:31:08 I'll try to keep a track on Lifelong Learning 20:31:21 for 2013 20:31:57 cool, thanks airurando 20:33:13 ye all know my address to give out?
