10:09:59 <sagaci> hi all
10:10:04 <head_victim> Evening sagaci
10:10:14 <benonsoftware> Evening sagaci
10:10:32 <spik3> hi sagaci
10:10:42 <benonsoftware> 'ello spik3
10:10:44 <sagaci> weird being 8pm, last meeting for me was April or March, which would have been before daylight savings
10:11:11 <benonsoftware> I'm glad the meetings are at this time now
10:11:27 <head_victim> They've always been this time for me ;)
10:12:14 <sagaci> #topic Workshop/open day events
10:12:18 <sagaci> head_victim: ..
10:12:50 <head_victim> I just wanted to point out there seemed to be a good reception to the idea but far from overwhelming in the response in the call for volunteers.
10:13:06 <spik3> any down in Tassie I can go to?
10:13:15 <head_victim> Is anyone considering running an event in their area?
10:13:40 * benonsoftware is tempted to
10:14:05 <sagaci> yep, I'm scheduling one for the July or perhaps August weekend
10:14:11 <sagaci> local event, so not in Sydney
10:14:17 <benonsoftware> Oh, and I got a response from O'Reily books
10:14:52 <benonsoftware> If anyone is holding a event and wants to give away some ebooks vouchers from them just email me and I can get you some
10:16:40 <sagaci> it's hopefully going to be a introductory/live-demo on a projector with space for about ~20 people or so
10:18:50 <head_victim> Sounds pretty much perfect
10:21:53 <benonsoftware> sagaci: Do you want the vouchers to give away or something there?
10:22:18 <sagaci> probably not since it's a very basic introduction thing
10:22:40 <benonsoftware> Okies
10:22:40 <sagaci> otherwise if it was more technical I would
10:23:01 <head_victim> I'm hoping toget one going in Brisbane but I don't have the time to do it all myself
10:27:31 <md_5> oh just in time
10:30:30 <sagaci> yep
10:30:31 <head_victim> Ok, seems a little slow tonight
10:31:27 <md_5> yeah
10:31:36 * md_5 whips everyone along
10:32:26 <head_victim> So md_5 are you contemplating a local event?
10:32:44 <md_5> no.. I'm a bit young for that
10:33:28 <head_victim> Fair enough, doesn't seem like there was much else on the agenda
10:33:59 <sagaci> indeed
10:34:50 <benonsoftware> md_5: Mind me asking what state you are in?
10:35:59 <md_5> vic benonsoftware
10:36:17 * benonsoftware high fives md_5 ;)
10:36:30 * md_5 high fives back
10:36:44 * md_5 grabs a hot beverage
10:38:41 <spik3> as a newbie, and not up to date with tech, however if some one is running one up in the north of Tassie I will help
10:42:28 <sagaci> not really ubuntu but if you're into python, pycon-au is in hobart this year in mid August. That's the closest tech-related event I can think of
10:44:51 <spik3> Ok, I will keep it in mind
10:44:51 <sagaci> I think the general course is to run a release party to gauge interest and then a similar open day follow up with the release party members. If you're willing to go to a release party, it's not much more to help out as a secondary with an open day
10:46:11 <chu> Anyone coming to linux.conf.au later this year?
10:46:25 <sagaci> in saying that, it's a bit disappointing running a release party and getting a whole of three including myself in a place like Sydney
10:46:34 <sagaci> in Canberra, yep
10:46:45 <chu> ANU :D
10:47:25 * benonsoftware should've gone when it was in VIC :P
10:56:17 <sagaci> anything else?
10:56:25 <head_victim> Seems we're done
10:56:30 <head_victim> ?
10:56:39 <head_victim> No one else had any items to bring up?
10:56:44 <md_5> nope
10:56:46 <benonsoftware> Nope
10:58:24 <spik3> not here
