  <reya276> hey

  <itnet7> Hey there reya276 !

  <reya276> trying to stay awake, they got me working like a slave

  <itnet7> I am going to ask Alanbell for an enhancement request to mootbot to Anounce the start of athe meeting

  <MichelleQ2> mhall119 is putting kids to bed

  <itnet7> Ah! No worries reya276

  <itnet7> I just thought we would discuss chloric's topic

  <itnet7> [TOPIC] Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour

Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour

• <itnet7> quick show of hands to see whether or not we have a couple of people that can weigh in thoughts on this

  <itnet7> o/

  <X-Man> o/

  <itnet7> If not we can hold off until next meeting....

  <MichelleQ2> o/

  <X-Man> Sorry what is the Ubuntu Promotion Hour?

• mhall119 is here

  <itnet7> Hey there mhall119 !

  <itnet7> X-Man: it's similar to a standard Ubuntu hour

  <itnet7> but

  <itnet7> their idea was to reserve a venue

  <itnet7> setup a pc, where passersby can try out Ubuntu

  <X-Man> That sounds cool

  <itnet7> Browse the Web a bit, play some of the games

  <itnet7> Use the wordprocessor, gimp, etc

  <itnet7> showcase some Ubuntu goodness

  <itnet7> the thing I wanted to ask everyone about, is that chloric and govatent talked with flux which is similar to a LUG downsouth

  <MichelleQ2> that'd be cool

  <MichelleQ2> we could probably rummage up some equipment for the team to use

  <itnet7> and wanted to do stuff together with flux, but the leader of flux said they wouldn't participate in an "Ubuntu" only event

  <itnet7> Chloric was saying that he and govatent wanted to in that case showcase meego, and other Open source stuff like chromeos

  <itnet7> I don't think that's a big deal if flux were to head it up, and govatent and chloric wanted to support it

  <itnet7> but it shouldn't be advertised in my opinion as a "Ubuntu Florida Team" Event

  <itnet7> any thoughts?

  <MichelleQ2> seems reasonable to me

  <X-Man> me too

  <MichelleQ2> we can just support the effort, without making it a team sanctioned event

  <itnet7> Well, I don't want to discourage any help that we can give to others, but I do think it would be awkward to open an Ubuntu Hour to Maemo, etc. just to get some flux members to attend

  <itnet7> or is it trivial?

  <MichelleQ2> I don't know that it's a big deal one way or another

  <itnet7> I just said that I would ask them if it would be allright to send an invite to their mailing list

  <X-Man> The event and should have something demoing Ubuntu

  <itnet7> and let them know if they need support at installfests or other events, that we would be glad to help

  <MichelleQ2> seems reasonable

  <itnet7> Well, I just really wanted a gauge to see if I was the only one that felt that if the team is doing an event, that we should advocate Ubuntu is all

  <itnet7> Does anyone else have anything they would like to discuss, or any ideas to discuss?

  <MichelleQ2> nope, not at the moment.

  <itnet7> [TOPIC] Open Meeting

Open Meeting

• <X-Man> where is the next UDS going to be held at

  <MichelleQ2> Budapest

• MichelleQ2 can't spell, tho

  <itnet7> X-Man: Hungary

  <MichelleQ2> OH, I do want to thank everyone who helped pull off the welcome party!

  <X-Man> What about the one in the Fall

  <itnet7> Then hopefully the next one will return to Florida

  <X-Man> really?

  <itnet7> Thanks to you too MichelleQ you guys did a lot of work to help get that off the ground!!

  <MichelleQ2> itnet7: couldn't have done it without the team's help!

  <X-Man> Thanks MIchelleQ

  <itnet7> Definitely

  <MichelleQ2> dantalizing, you, zoopster, everyone who was involved. It was a spectacular success

  <itnet7> That's exactly what I told Mark S.

  <MichelleQ2> I had the utmost of compliments from Marianna. She stopped me, and told me that in her years of doing UDS, she'd never seen anything like it before done by a team.

  <itnet7> That Rocks!!

  <MichelleQ2> I was touched.

  <X-Man> That does Rock

  <itnet7> X-Man: it's definitely not confirmed, but it was absolutely discussed

  <itnet7> having it in Florida again

  <X-Man> I will be there this time

  <itnet7> Marianna said that we need wait to get the feedback

  <itnet7> but I think everyone loved the location!

  <MichelleQ2> I sure hope it happens - I *loved* being able to be around so many friends

  <itnet7> Definitely

  <MichelleQ2> we had a great night with the women's team being here, and then having houseguests for several days afterward

  <itnet7> I bet that all of you had a ball!!

  <MichelleQ2> It was a blast... and really, really, solidified the idea of family between several of us

  <MichelleQ2> If nothing else, UDS made me realize that I do have a place in this community thing, and that I have something important to contribute. It was amazing.

  <itnet7> Oh, One thing... Let's make a concerted effort to try and utilize ubuntu-fl.org. If you're trying to use it and you see a problem let me know

  <MichelleQ2> definitely

  <itnet7> MichelleQ2: Absolutely

  <itnet7> There have been some discrepancies with rights, and openid, but I think were through the thick of it

  <itnet7> Florida Team's planet should be working flawlessly as well

  <MichelleQ2> awesome

  <itnet7> thanks to dantalizing !

  <MichelleQ2> I got my blog up on Planet, finally.

  <itnet7> MichelleQ2: Sweet!!

  <MichelleQ2> I'll have to get it up on ours as well.

  <itnet7> As soon as I learn how to add them, I will ping you sometime and hook you up
