[14:05:17] &lt;tdr112&gt; PRESENT<br />
[14:05:26] &lt;airurando&gt; PRESENT<br />
[14:05:31] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; PRESENT<br />
[14:05:42] &lt;ebel&gt; OK.<br />
[14:05:45] &lt;slashtom&gt; PRESENR<br />
[14:05:50] &lt;slashtom&gt; PRESENT<br />
[14:05:51] &lt;ebel&gt; As I said the Agenda is here.<br />
[14:05:58] &lt;ebel&gt; first topic<br />
[14:06:03] &lt;ebel&gt; [topic]  So, what are we going to do at OpenJam<br />
<a name='1'></a>
[14:06:26] &lt;tdr112&gt; do we have a place for it<br />
[14:06:32] &lt;ebel&gt; OpenJam is an upcoming event taking place in Dublin<br />
[14:06:41] &lt;ebel&gt; On Ubuntu Gobal Jam weekend.<br />
[14:06:45] &lt;ebel&gt; [link] http://openevents.ie/doku.php?id=openjam<br />

[14:06:58] &lt;ebel&gt; [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam<br />
<a name='3'></a>
[14:08:06] &lt;slashtom&gt; firstly, have we a venue?<br />
[14:08:27] &lt;slashtom&gt; how large is the place<br />
[14:08:32] &lt;ebel&gt; The venue is unsure.<br />
[14:08:49] &lt;ebel&gt; I'm trying to remember. czajkowski (who's not here) knows more<br />
[14:09:00] &lt;slashtom&gt; as in, how many rooms do we have... can we have concurrent activities?<br />
[14:09:12] &lt;tdr112&gt; lets say for the moment we have a place , what do we do on the day<br />
[14:09:30] &lt;ebel&gt; There are a few things that worked well at last bugjam days<br />
[14:09:48] &lt;ebel&gt; We could have introductory to the various things (eg bugs, translations)<br />
[14:10:06] &lt;ebel&gt; And then walk people through fixing bugs, etc.<br />
[14:10:07] &lt;tdr112&gt; get people to sign the coc<br />
[14:10:24] &lt;ebel&gt; and do likewise for translations, "Step by step guide to translating", etc.<br />
[14:11:14] &lt;slashtom&gt; are we going to publicise anything like (unofficial) ubuntu support?<br />
[14:11:40] &lt;tdr112&gt; eg bring your laptop and we will put ubuntu on it<br />
[14:12:01] &lt;ebel&gt; I'm willing to help with the bug jamming.<br />
[14:12:16] &lt;ebel&gt; I'll do like what I did before.<br />
[14:12:32] &lt;tdr112&gt; that sounds good<br />
[14:12:35] &lt;ebel&gt; well, with ubuntu support, i think that's almost a given....<br />
[14:12:43] &lt;slashtom&gt; aye<br />
[14:13:02] &lt;ebel&gt; there'll be people there who know ubuntu, and if people have problems, then i'd have thought that people could help.<br />
[14:13:47] &lt;slashtom&gt; "Ubuntu Drop-in"<br />
[14:14:12] &lt;ebel&gt; hey MootBot<br />
[14:14:14] &lt;ebel&gt; hey Mzungu<br />
[14:14:23] &lt;tdr112&gt; but we should list that we are going to help<br />
[14:14:30] &lt;slashtom&gt; yes<br />
[14:15:03] &lt;ebel&gt; yeah we should<br />
[14:15:10] &lt;ebel&gt; well we'll have to tell people about it.<br />
[14:15:20] &lt;ebel&gt; And that'll involve listing what will happen<br />
[14:15:28] &lt;tdr&gt; and who said they would help out with translating<br />
[14:15:32] &lt;ebel&gt; incl. things like "we'll fix your pc"<br />
[14:15:35] &lt;tdr&gt; it was a while ago<br />
[14:16:15] &lt;slashtom&gt; so a fairly informal schedule really<br />
[14:16:25] &lt;ebel&gt; In theory translating is easy to do on the website<br />
[14:16:59] &lt;ebel&gt; I just don't know many other languages.<br />
[14:17:18] &lt;ebel&gt; there are people who know other languages, lau IIRC...<br />
[14:17:21] &lt;airurando&gt; from the wiki page there are 7 global Jam themes listed. do you think OpenJam will have sessions for them all?<br />
[14:17:47] &lt;tdr112&gt; airurando: link ?<br />
[14:18:12] &lt;airurando&gt; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam<br />
[14:18:36] &lt;airurando&gt; the link was given by ebel earlier<br />
[14:18:39] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; <ebel> incl. things like "we'll fix your pc" >>> Heh, sounds great to me, maybe someone can figure out my my Aspire X1300 can't suspend<br />
[14:19:01] &lt;tdr112&gt; ok so its , bugs , testing ,upgrade, doc,s translations, packaging<br />
[14:19:04] &lt;ebel&gt; johnnyCbadde: sure bring it all.<br />
[14:19:14] * ebel was doing some stuff on packaging today in work<br />
[14:19:14] &lt;tdr112&gt; we could do testing very easy<br />
[14:19:36] &lt;ebel&gt; a lot of it fits into launchpad, esp. things like bugs, translations, packageing<br />
[14:20:02] &lt;airurando&gt; I sat in on one of Jorge Castros Global Jam introductory sessions on IRC<br />
[14:20:30] &lt;airurando&gt; he had good suggestions (for a newbie anyway)<br />
[14:20:55] &lt;ebel&gt; yeah?<br />
[14:21:06] &lt;airurando&gt; one thing that is very useful for people is to get a projector, for the introductory talks/tutorials<br />
[14:21:49] &lt;slashtom&gt; cztab is on the phone<br />
[14:21:55] &lt;airurando&gt; one new kind of Jam this cycle is the Upgrade Jam you need to plan it more in advance, since it needs lots of bandwidth, so having a close by mirror of the archive is handy at a minimum, even if you totally fail at the entire jam,<br />
[14:21:58] &lt;slashtom&gt; ......<br />
[14:22:12] &lt;slashtom&gt; we have a venue...<br />
[14:22:40] &lt;airurando&gt; drumroll...<br />
[14:22:47] &lt;ebel&gt; ahoy<br />
[14:22:53] * ebel was speaking to czajkowski on phone<br />
[14:23:02] &lt;ebel&gt; We definitly have a venue for the saturday<br />
[14:23:05] &lt;ebel&gt; maaaaybe sunday<br />
[14:23:27] &lt;ebel&gt; from enterprise ireland<br />
[14:23:45] &lt;tdr112&gt; make push for one day<br />
[14:23:46] &lt;ebel&gt; in Dublin 8 I think<br />
[14:23:49] * slashtom votes for saturday only<br />
[14:23:55] &lt;ebel&gt; in the "digital exchange"<br />
[14:24:04] &lt;tdr112&gt; we will get more people<br />
[14:25:30] &lt;ebel&gt; It's where we software freedom day 2007<br />
[14:25:55] &lt;ebel&gt; So that's a decent venue<br />
[14:26:01] &lt;ebel&gt; close, decent size<br />
[14:26:06] &lt;ebel&gt; i think it has a projector<br />
[14:26:11] &lt;slashtom&gt; here: http://osm.org/go/es@R0Vpd<br />
[14:26:38] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; one day would suit me better if I travel from Galway<br />
[14:26:52] &lt;ebel&gt; Yeah, one day could work well<br />
[14:26:55] &lt;slashtom&gt; yep, better to concentrate activities on the one day<br />
[14:26:59] &lt;ebel&gt; we've done it before.<br />
[14:27:04] &lt;ebel&gt; So what shall we do?<br />
[14:27:10] &lt;ebel&gt; Have a structure and timetable?<br />
[14:27:20] &lt;ebel&gt; or just have a freeform thing?<br />
[14:27:29] &lt;slashtom&gt; i'm in favour of a more informal approach<br />
[14:27:30] &lt;ebel&gt; Where we will cover topics X, Y, Z.<br />
[14:27:34] &lt;ebel&gt; and see who turns up<br />
[14:27:39] &lt;ebel&gt; and see what people want and need to do.<br />
[14:27:54] &lt;slashtom&gt; see who turns up, what people want to do/what information they need<br />
[14:28:11] &lt;ebel&gt; yeah<br />
[14:28:25] &lt;ebel&gt; well I'm willing to 'mentor' bug tracking and maybe packaging.<br />
[14:28:37] &lt;airurando&gt; did czajkowski not invite other groups on the basis of the Jam occurring on both days?<br />
[14:29:23] &lt;ebel&gt; yeah, an idea was to make it more open to non-ubuntu groups.<br />
[14:29:56] &lt;airurando&gt; not a good idea to change the goal posts now IMO.<br />
[14:30:24] &lt;airurando&gt; if other groups are making plans for sat and sun that is.<br />
[14:30:25] &lt;ebel&gt; So we need to poke other groups.<br />
[14:30:44] &lt;ebel&gt; declanmg is familar with ruby ireland and python<br />
[14:32:01] &lt;ebel&gt; so we'll have to work with him to tell them about it.<br />
[14:32:10] &lt;ebel&gt; any other ideas?<br />
[14:32:33] &lt;tdr112&gt; so do we want to make up a timeline of stuff that needs to be done<br />
[14:33:17] &lt;ebel&gt; A timeline of what to do on the day? or a todo list?<br />
[14:33:23] &lt;tdr112&gt; todo list<br />
[14:33:33] &lt;tdr112&gt; its two weeks away ?<br />
[14:33:41] &lt;ebel&gt; (a) confirm venue and wifi access details<br />
[14:33:49] &lt;ebel&gt; (b) talk to declanmg to talk to ruby and python<br />
[14:33:58] &lt;ebel&gt; (c) email list to tell about venue and ask for other groupos<br />
[14:34:41] &lt;ebel&gt; (d) solicit other people to help on the day. I'm willing to help with bugs and packaging<br />
[14:34:55] &lt;airurando&gt; consult with czajkowski to find out what communication with other groups has already taken place.<br />
[14:35:03] &lt;ebel&gt; yeah.<br />
[14:35:06] * slashtom will be around on the day to help wherever is required<br />
[14:35:45] &lt;ebel&gt; (e) consult with czajkowski to find out what communication with other groups has already taken place.<br />
[14:35:49] &lt;ebel&gt; anything else?<br />
[14:36:03] &lt;tdr112&gt; blog spam and all the reat to get people to go<br />
[14:36:15] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; If I make it I won't be much help but with look I'll be able learn enough basics to be an expert by next year :P<br />
[14:36:22] &lt;ebel&gt; yep, post to forums, post to lists, to twitters, to irc,<br />
[14:36:36] &lt;tdr112&gt; johnnyCbadde: thats the idea<br />
[14:38:40] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; There's about 5 fulltime ubuntu users in my software class, I'll mention it to them anyways<br />
[14:38:44] &lt;ebel&gt; right, i'll email that stuff to the list to get the ball running<br />
[14:38:53] &lt;ebel&gt; johnnyCbadde: yeah, that'd be great.<br />
[14:38:54] &lt;tdr112&gt; sounds about done<br />
[14:38:54] &lt;slashtom&gt; deadly, thanks ebel<br />
[14:38:59] &lt;ebel&gt; maybe we should do up some posters....<br />
[14:39:04] &lt;ebel&gt; anyone wanna do that? :P<br />
[14:39:22] &lt;ebel&gt; If not, we'll move on to the next agenda item....<br />
[14:40:15] &lt;ebel&gt; [topic] Skynet & Ubuntu Talks , how it went<br />
<a name='4'></a>
[14:40:21] &lt;ebel&gt; over to tdr112<br />
[14:40:21] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; If there is a poster available to download i can put some up in gmit and nuig<br />
[14:40:39] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; *opps sorry*<br />
[14:40:45] &lt;ebel&gt; johnnyCbadde: if we get some, we'll let you know.<br />
[14:40:46] &lt;slashtom&gt; johnnyCbadde: check the links ebel posted earlier<br />
[14:40:48] &lt;tdr112&gt; and how to make it better<br />
[14:40:57] &lt;tdr112&gt; so what to people think of the talks<br />
[14:41:00] &lt;ebel&gt; johnnyCbadde: or are you any good at graphics? you can help out!<br />
[14:41:03] &lt;tdr112&gt; and are first non dublin event<br />
[14:41:20] &lt;tdr112&gt; do you think we could do it in another city ?<br />
[14:41:37] &lt;slashtom&gt; ossbarcamp in galway<br />
[14:41:40] &lt;ebel&gt; i thought it was good<br />
[14:41:51] &lt;slashtom&gt; there was talk about it<br />
[14:42:03] &lt;airurando&gt; I really enjoyed the talks<br />
[14:43:21] &lt;airurando&gt; I see no reason not to have another one in a different city but local organisers would appear to be a pre-requisite.<br />
[14:43:24] &lt;tdr112&gt; they where great , can we do it somewhere else , if we want to make ubuntu-ie more ireland and less dublin , we have to try and get more ireland stuff<br />
[14:43:53] &lt;slashtom&gt; johnnyCbadde: what's the oss community like in galway?<br />
[14:43:55] &lt;tdr112&gt; yep we should try and find more local groups to link up with<br />
[14:43:58] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; EI have a building in Galway that had an event with someone from mozilla a while back, and it's right beside the bus station<br />
[14:44:05] &lt;tdr112&gt; it worked great with skynet<br />
[14:45:01] &lt;ebel&gt; Mean-Machine was talking of possible a ossbarcamp in galway<br />
[14:45:16] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; slashtom, I think NUIG computer society are fairly into their oss<br />
[14:46:00] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; slashtom, Alas, GMIT has nothing at the moment<br />
[14:46:22] &lt;ebel&gt; johnnyCbadde: UL's computer society (skynet) was the main people in linerick<br />
[14:46:29] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; there was a galway hackerspace setup recently<br />
[14:46:49] &lt;slashtom&gt; that's great... can we get them on irc and in these meetings?<br />
[14:46:55] &lt;tdr112&gt; its set up<br />
<a name='5'></a>
[14:47:01] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055836344 I have yet to attend but my friend has been a few times<br />
[14:47:03] &lt;tdr112&gt; its not set up<br />
[14:47:12] &lt;ebel&gt; sounds like a good pile of local knowledge.<br />
[14:47:18] &lt;ebel&gt; they should get on IRC more.<br />
[14:47:34] &lt;airurando&gt; terran is in NUIG. Not suggestion he be forced into organising another event but he might be able to suggest contacts.<br />
[14:47:35] &lt;ebel&gt; If they wanna organise anything and call themselves 'Ubuntu Ireland', then go for it.<br />
[14:47:36] &lt;tdr112&gt; i have been talking to them , they are coming up to dublin in two weeks i can ask them if you like<br />
[14:47:53] &lt;ebel&gt; (just gotta go by the CoC, etc.)<br />
[14:48:14] &lt;airurando&gt;  tdr112: are they coming for OpenJam?<br />
[14:48:31] &lt;tdr112&gt; nope for a workshop we are doing TOG that is<br />
<a name='6'></a>
[14:48:48] &lt;tdr112&gt; http://sciencegallery.com/events/2010/03/electronics-workshop-mitch-altman-and-jimmie-p-rodgers<br />
[14:49:49] &lt;tdr112&gt; ok lets get people to try and start talking to people in galway about running some talks down there under the ubuntu-ie banner<br />
[14:50:14] &lt;tdr112&gt; and report back next irc meeting ?<br />
[14:50:30] &lt;ebel&gt; johnnyCbadde: we'll have to chat to you at openjam about galways based stuff.<br />
[14:50:44] &lt;ebel&gt; clearly there is demand for a more national scope.<br />
[14:51:16] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; ebel, the demand is great for me because travelling to dublin is pricey :P<br />
[14:51:17] &lt;ebel&gt; tdr112: sounds good.<br />
[14:51:21] &lt;tdr112&gt; ireland is bigger , than dublin<br />
[14:51:37] &lt;tdr112&gt; the best bits are here<br />
[14:51:52] &lt;ebel&gt; so for next meeting we gotta get the ball rolling on an event outside dublin<br />
[14:51:56] &lt;tdr112&gt; but lets not let that stop us from having talks in other places<br />
[14:51:58] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; Ubuntu is bigger than the kernal<br />
[14:52:02] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; ;)<br />
[14:52:46] &lt;ebel&gt; [topic] Any other business ?<br />
<a name='7'></a>
[14:52:53] &lt;slashtom&gt; yes<br />
[14:52:58] &lt;slashtom&gt; Geeknic!<br />
[14:53:05] &lt;ebel&gt; [topic] geeknic<br />
<a name='8'></a>
[14:53:10] &lt;slashtom&gt; we need another Geeknic<br />
[14:53:16] &lt;tdr112&gt; there great<br />
[14:53:17] &lt;slashtom&gt; May Bank Holiday weekend<br />
[14:53:26] &lt;ebel&gt; slashtom: what's a geeknic?<br />
[14:54:03] &lt;ebel&gt; a geeknic is a picnic for geeks<br />
<a name='9'></a>
[14:54:55] &lt;slashtom&gt; http://www.farmleigh.ie/Events/Title,12875,en.html - this is where we went before<br />
[14:55:16] &lt;airurando&gt; slashtom: OggCamp happens on May bank holiday weekend<br />
[14:55:27] &lt;slashtom&gt; it was rather nice, the food market is on Sunday 2 May<br />
[14:55:41] &lt;slashtom&gt; whereis Oggcamp?<br />
[14:56:02] &lt;airurando&gt; Liverpool<br />
<a name='10'></a>
[14:56:10] &lt;tdr112&gt; http://oggcamp.org/start<br />
[14:56:16] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; I'm not to fond of picnics to be honest, I hate wasps and bees!<br />
[14:56:27] &lt;slashtom&gt; um, would an event in Ireland at the same time be bad?<br />
[14:56:35] &lt;airurando&gt; point being dublin geeks may be attending<br />
[14:56:44] &lt;slashtom&gt; johnnyCbadde: rain is more likely to be the problem, at start of may ;)<br />
[14:56:45] &lt;tdr112&gt; no , there cant be that many people going to it from here<br />
[14:57:07] &lt;ebel&gt; yeah<br />
[14:57:57] &lt;ebel&gt; the only problem with farmleigh is getting there<br />
[14:58:04] &lt;ebel&gt; the other option is stephen's green<br />
[14:58:16] &lt;ebel&gt; or some other park in dublin, merrion square?<br />
[14:59:06] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; slashtom, haha true<br />
[14:59:13] &lt;slashtom&gt; the food market is good at farmleight<br />
[14:59:17] &lt;slashtom&gt; the food market is good at farmleigh*<br />
[14:59:49] &lt;slashtom&gt; we could always have a fallback... email on the day to divert everyone to a pub in case of bad weather<br />
[15:00:03] &lt;ebel&gt; sounds good<br />
[15:00:04] &lt;slashtom&gt; given the irish summer, it could be a wise move<br />
[15:00:09] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; pub sounds like a safe bet<br />
[15:00:12] &lt;tdr112&gt; thats sounds better<br />
[15:01:46] &lt;slashtom&gt; 29/4 is lucid lync release date<br />
[15:01:58] &lt;ebel&gt; *lynx<br />
[15:01:59] &lt;slashtom&gt; so the geeknic would double up as a release party<br />
[15:01:59] &lt;tdr112&gt; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidReleaseSchedule<br />
[15:02:07] &lt;slashtom&gt; if everyone thinks that's a good idea<br />
[15:02:25] * slashtom is happy to organise, if i have the general support of others<br />
[15:02:28] &lt;tdr112&gt; so geeknic in the afternoon , pub that night<br />
[15:02:31] &lt;tdr112&gt; ?<br />
[15:02:35] &lt;ebel&gt; +1 from me<br />
[15:02:37] &lt;slashtom&gt; yep, we can do that<br />
[15:03:14] &lt;slashtom&gt; are we good for Farmleigh on the Sunday 2nd May, followed by a pub meet<br />
[15:03:20] &lt;ebel&gt; sounds good<br />
[15:03:31] * johnnyCbadde is not sure where Farmleigh is<br />
[15:03:47] &lt;ebel&gt; johnnyCbadde: phonix parkl<br />
[15:03:58] &lt;ebel&gt; pheonix park<br />
[15:04:02] &lt;johnnyCbadde&gt; ebel, Aha, now I know<br />
[15:04:02] &lt;ebel&gt; in Dublin<br />
[15:04:16] &lt;tdr112&gt; bus to farmleigh http://www.dublinbus.ie/en/Your-Journey1/Timetables/All-Timetables/37/<br />
<a name='11'></a>
[15:04:36] &lt;slashtom&gt; http://www.farmleigh.ie/VisitorInformation/GettingtoFarmleigh/<br />
