If anything isn't making sense please ask. 10:09:31 We do seem to be picking up new members, which is certainly good to see 10:09:37 * gorilla agrees wholeheartedly with head_victim 10:10:20 Unless there is anything else for the recap, I think we shall move on to the next topic 10:10:56 #topic UDS Roundup 10:11:05 head_victim, I'll let you take this one 10:11:09 UDS: http://uds.ubuntu.com/ 10:11:10 Did anyone catch any of the remote sessions? 10:11:32 I did :P 10:11:41 Anything to share? 10:11:48 for those that are not aware... what's UDS? 10:12:08 The Ubuntu Developer Summit 10:12:21 jaddi27: thanks. 10:12:24 The Ubuntu YOuth session in my mind was good (I believe sagaci was there in person) and heaps of progress will be made with it in the next few months 10:12:27 gorilla: good point 10:12:40 Basically a week of sessions related to the development of Ubuntu, especially around planning for the next version 10:13:09 The UDS is held once a release (very early in the cycle) to set goals and plans for the next release. 10:13:12 Audio of it all is at http://audio.ubuntu.com 10:13:13 sagaci was at UDS this year, but would be on a plane at the moment from memory 10:13:41 Evening dingus 10:13:50 hi dingus 10:13:52 Welcome to the meeting dingus 10:13:59 sure thing head_victim 10:14:00 Would like to see a brief "report" from sagaci.. sounds interesting. 10:14:05 (was afk for a few min) 10:15:22 I think he should give a report at the next meeting - he was definitely very excited about it 10:15:31 Sounds like he had a bunch of fun 10:15:44 Yeah 10:16:49 Due to one of the sessions sagaci attended, he will be running a session to work on the Ubuntu Manual project next weekend 10:16:54 Details are at http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-au/1772/detail/ 10:16:55 * benonsoftware was actually signed up to crew at the UDS 10:17:06 * benonsoftware shall attend that 10:17:35 I'd encourage anyone vaguely interested in contributing but don't konw where to start to come along to that and just see what it's about 10:17:42 It requires no special skills from what I understand. 10:18:10 * benonsoftware is signed up to do Index and Glossary 10:18:22 im away that weekend 10:18:28 I think it will just be reading what is already there, and helping to improve the manual for Precise 10:18:48 md_5: It'll happen again, one weekend will not be enough :-) 10:20:08 Something that some people would find interesting from UDS: EA gave a talk about gaming on Ubuntu 10:20:10 http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/ea-delivers-talk-at-ubuntu-developer-summit/ 10:20:16 i might be able to attend next sat 14:00 - 16:00 - how does it work? 10:20:46 bradzo, Come online here to #ubuntu-au, and sagaci will guide everyone in what he would like to do 10:21:06 Sounds good 10:21:06 ok - i'll add it to my diary :) 10:22:08 And a brief summary of development goals for the q-cycle (what will become Ubuntu 12.10) - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/05/uds-q-summary-bye-bye-unity-2d-hello-gnome-shell-spin/ 10:22:55 just reading a recap 12.10 looks like it will be sweet 10:22:58 sorry.. connection dropped out. 10:23:05 Well feel free to write stories for ubuntu.org.au for these projects 10:23:22 As long as they're Ubuntu related and being carried out by Australians it's all good news. 10:24:09 Anything else to add to the UDS discussion tonight? 10:24:54 Doesn't look like it, so moving on to the next topic 10:24:57 sorry Joel, no 10:25:02 Sounds good :) 10:25:08 #topic Release Party Catch Ups 10:25:14 head_victim, go ahead 10:25:48 Mainly just to point out how slack I am 10:26:08 Again, round ups of the events should be posted to ubuntu.org.au so I was going to call for volunteers from each event to write up a litte blurb 10:26:19 Not too long and if you have photos attaching or linking them would be great. 10:26:41 * benonsoftware has to leave 10:26:44 Night all 10:26:54 But from what I understand there was one in Brisbane, Sydney and Adelaide. Did I miss any? 10:26:57 Night benonsoftware 10:27:12 bye benonsoftware 10:27:20 yeah no melbourne 10:27:58 * gorilla is no longer in Melbourne which doesn't help the situation. 10:28:09 i'd like to put my hand up to bring Ubuntu to people in the Forest Lake QLD area. So if anyone is interested.... 10:28:17 Well for the next release I encourage you all you think about getting together, even if it's just 3 - 5 people and a coffee/beer it's still a good start. 10:28:36 bradzo: great, in Brisbane we'll be holding a technical get together in a few months as well 10:28:41 Listen out for it on the mailing list 10:29:05 Forest Lake sounds good nice and close 10:29:24 Well when the polls go out for when/where make your voice heard and join in :) 10:29:37 As a team we're awesome at online events, less so at real world ones. 10:29:40 head_victim, bradzo - Was the next Brisbane technical meeting was going to be held in the city again, or somewhere like Garden City? I can't remember where was decided (or if it was properly set) 10:29:55 So was anyone at any of the release parties with anything to add? 10:30:04 head_victim: outside is scary! :-P 10:30:05 jaddi27: more suburban I believe, somewhere with parking 10:30:19 yes, I thought that was it 10:30:29 we can do it at my place - big screen data projector, wifi access... big outdoor area, swimming pool. 10:31:16 even if not members of public, would still like to invite bris bods over for an afternoon of pizza and beer... :) 10:32:16 hi Tibor - you're most welcome. 10:32:41 Thanks:) 10:32:51 #action someone to start talking about tech get togethers in a few months on the mailing list 10:32:51 * meetingology someone to start talking about tech get togethers in a few months on the mailing list 10:33:09 probably not in the next few weeks etc - too bloody cold for a swim, but there you go! 10:33:18 I heard the Sydney release party went well , how was the Adelaide one? 10:33:28 That's what I'd like to know as well :P 10:34:06 head_victim, I second that way of writing an Action - nobody has to remember :) 10:34:34 jaddi27: yeah, it's generally good to pin it down to an owner but in that case it was justified 10:35:17 yep, that is another good reason for the recap section, so we can remember to do it in a month's time 10:35:23 Yep 10:35:32 So no one here was present for the Adelaide release party? 10:36:11 head_victim: Adelaide is still catching up to the rest of the country. :-P 10:36:28 gorilla: they're only 30 minutes behind mate! 10:36:29 Who was organising the Adelaide party? It was only announced on the day it happened, so there might not have been many people at it 10:36:36 jaddi27: yep 10:36:51 Well either way, if anyone would like to write up any events they went to the ubuntu.org.au page is the place for it 10:37:03 All you need to do is write the article and ping a website admin to publish it for you. 10:37:05 head_victim: Some argue add about 50 years. 10:37:21 jaddi27, yeah that was the problem, I would've gone but didn't get the email till to late 10:37:32 how does one do a release party? I'd be in for the next one! Or any one. :) 10:37:40 subscribed to mailing list 10:37:52 md_5, That is good to hear 10:37:58 bradzo, which city you in? 10:38:01 bradzo: Pick a venue and announce it... no big organisation required. 10:39:48 Just make sure you make an event on http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-au with all of the details. If it is up there, other people such as head_victim, sagaci and myself will promote it through the mailing list, Facebook, twitter, identi.ca, IRC, etc 10:40:25 Speaking of which, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/ContactUs could use some love 10:40:26 (and now that Facebook has fixed its event system again, I can make events that invite everyone in the group) 10:41:12 #action Release party attendees to ensure events are reported through the website 10:41:12 * meetingology Release party attendees to ensure events are reported through the website 10:41:20 oh cool then guys. I'm in Forest Lake, Brisbane. Would like to stay closer to home ... even at home (initially to meet other Ubuntu-ers) wifi access here, big screen etc - then we can organise something bigger? 10:41:55 head_victim, What would you like added to the contact page? I cleaned it up at the global jam, but can do more to it 10:42:20 Well I think links to all the areas on the left hand side of the table would be good 10:42:45 Also I think the admins are a bit out of date, 10:43:08 For example, yourself and sagaci should be listed in a few more places now 10:43:12 Yep, I can fix that up 10:43:31 But also, I'm thinking, if there is a self updating link to show admins that would be better than manually listing them. 10:43:47 For example the loco.u.c admins can all be listed with a launchpad link 10:44:13 md_5, bradzo, and other new people to the meetings and group - Have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Members/NewMembers if you have not already done so to join the mailing list and launchpad groups (and just find out more about Ubuntu-AU in general) 10:45:08 ikr if I joined the launchpad group 10:45:19 Is there anything else for the meeting tonight, or shall I close it? This other discussion can continue outside of the meeting 10:45:24 well I am now 10:45:34 oh speaking of admin.. I'm a moderator of the Ubuntu Au facebook page but would like to pass the control to someone else... suggestions? 10:45:41 Your request to join Ubuntu Australian Team is awaiting approval. 10:46:36 gorilla: there's already a few 10:46:47 jaddi27: Go for it. 10:47:00 md_5, You are now a member - I just approved it 10:47:02 gorilla: you don't need to resign if you want a leave of absence unless you would like to. 10:47:46 head_victim: I need to reduce the number of emails that I am getting from it.. 3G internet isn't fun. 10:47:50 ty jaddi27 10:47:51 ok. Thanks everyone for attending. The next meeting will be on June 10, at 8pm AEST (UTC+10) 10:47:58 http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/ubuntu-au/391/detail/ 10:48:00 #endmeeting
