The release parties and the Brisbane demo day worked fairly well 10:18:48 I think it would be good to create a 'template' for running such an event, so it is easier for people to do 10:19:30 yes, perhaps. 10:19:44 though this cycle I'm unable to hold a release party 10:20:00 Will you be at UDS then? 10:20:02 and I'm under the impression that head_victim can't do a brisbane one either 10:20:13 Yes, that does seem likely 10:20:40 no, it's just that I'm not in Sydney around the release date 10:21:01 right. I can understand that 10:22:25 I just don't think the demand is there for it 10:22:55 #topic Quantal Release Parties 10:23:00 I agree 10:23:19 We have just had a LTS, which had a lot of publicity 10:23:39 so I don't think 12.10 will be as sought after 10:24:19 If anyone would like to hold a release party in their area, please send an email to the Mailing List 10:25:40 There are people available to offer assistance with planning and running it, but is very simple to do 10:26:04 still, it's a long time until the next LTS to wait for release parties 10:26:17 definitely 10:26:40 I think demand will not be there for this release, but next April will have more interest 10:28:06 maybe we should move on to the next topic 10:28:16 #topic Customisation 10:28:45 It was brought up on the mailing list that it is possible to customise the Ubuntu installer slideshow 10:28:53 http://www.dylanmccall.com/blog/2012/09/05/installer-slideshow-customization/ 10:28:59 A slide for the loco and a get involved pitch would work 10:29:18 I think it is worth doing, as long as we can easily make the new images 10:30:12 by images, I mean the ISO files 10:31:46 Maybe this could be done at the same time as finally making a customised version for Australia 10:32:01 We have started the customisation a couple of times, but never finished 10:33:18 Could we have a couple of meetings online to get the customisation done? 10:35:42 meeting 10:35:52 md_5: welcome to the meeting 10:36:08 bit late this time, #ubuntu-au stopped being on xchat hilight 10:36:15 that is alright 10:36:21 there are not many people here tonight 10:37:33 md_5: do you have any thoughts on customisation? 10:40:06 seems nice, the ubuntu team should really allow each loco to put in one slide 10:40:15 (that will be selected based on locale) 10:40:37 I guess we could propose that to the responsible people 10:42:27 So at this stage, we like the idea, but more discussion and work is needed to get the customisation done 10:43:18 I will try to look in to this more, and reply to the mailing list thread 10:45:28 Does anyone have anything to add to the meeting tonight? 10:45:58 * md_5 pokes sagaci 10:48:35 I guess not then 10:48:53 nah not really 10:48:57 Well, we may as well close the meeting. More promotion will be done for the next one 10:49:06 yeah 10:49:20 Next meeting will be on October 14 10:49:28 just before relase 10:49:30 release 10:49:30 When does daylight saving start? 10:49:45 uh 10:49:49 7th oct 10:50:07 ok. We may need to change the time of the next meeting 10:51:32 I will check with head_victim and let everyone know 10:51:43 Thanks sagaci and md_5 for attending 10:51:46 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
