||<>|| = Meeting opened by itnet7 at 01:00 = <'''<>'''> ping Catsceo cjohnston dantalizing mhall119 pak33m reya276 RoAkSoAx zoopster <'''<>'''> hey <'''<>'''> Hey there reya276 ! <'''<>'''> trying to stay awake, they got me working like a slave <'''<>'''> I am going to ask Alanbell for an enhancement request to mootbot to Anounce the start of athe meeting <'''<>'''> mhall119 is putting kids to bed <'''<>'''> Ah! No worries reya276 <'''<>'''> I just thought we would discuss chloric's topic <'''<>'''> [TOPIC] Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour == Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour == <'''<>'''> quick show of hands to see whether or not we have a couple of people that can weigh in thoughts on this <'''<>'''> o/ <'''<>'''> o/ <'''<>'''> If not we can hold off until next meeting.... <'''<>'''> o/ <'''<>'''> Sorry what is the Ubuntu Promotion Hour? * '''<>''' is here <'''<>'''> Hey there mhall119 ! <'''<>'''> X-Man: it's similar to a standard Ubuntu hour <'''<>'''> but <'''<>'''> their idea was to reserve a venue <'''<>'''> setup a pc, where passersby can try out Ubuntu <'''<>'''> That sounds cool <'''<>'''> Browse the Web a bit, play some of the games <'''<>'''> Use the wordprocessor, gimp, etc <'''<>'''> showcase some Ubuntu goodness <'''<>'''> the thing I wanted to ask everyone about, is that chloric and govatent talked with flux which is similar to a LUG downsouth <'''<>'''> that'd be cool <'''<>'''> we could probably rummage up some equipment for the team to use <'''<>'''> and wanted to do stuff together with flux, but the leader of flux said they wouldn't participate in an "Ubuntu" only event <'''<>'''> Chloric was saying that he and govatent wanted to in that case showcase meego, and other Open source stuff like chromeos <'''<>'''> I don't think that's a big deal if flux were to head it up, and govatent and chloric wanted to support it <'''<>'''> but it shouldn't be advertised in my opinion as a "Ubuntu Florida Team" Event <'''<>'''> any thoughts? <'''<>'''> seems reasonable to me <'''<>'''> me too <'''<>'''> we can just support the effort, without making it a team sanctioned event <'''<>'''> 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 <'''<>'''> or is it trivial? <'''<>'''> I don't know that it's a big deal one way or another <'''<>'''> I just said that I would ask them if it would be allright to send an invite to their mailing list <'''<>'''> The event and should have something demoing Ubuntu <'''<>'''> and let them know if they need support at installfests or other events, that we would be glad to help <'''<>'''> seems reasonable <'''<>'''> 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 <'''<>'''> Does anyone else have anything they would like to discuss, or any ideas to discuss? <'''<>'''> nope, not at the moment. <'''<>'''> [TOPIC] Open Meeting == Open Meeting == <'''<>'''> where is the next UDS going to be held at <'''<>'''> Budapest * '''<>''' can't spell, tho <'''<>'''> X-Man: Hungary <'''<>'''> OH, I do want to thank everyone who helped pull off the welcome party! <'''<>'''> What about the one in the Fall <'''<>'''> Then hopefully the next one will return to Florida <'''<>'''> really? <'''<>'''> Thanks to you too MichelleQ you guys did a lot of work to help get that off the ground!! <'''<>'''> itnet7: couldn't have done it without the team's help! <'''<>'''> Thanks MIchelleQ <'''<>'''> Definitely <'''<>'''> dantalizing, you, zoopster, everyone who was involved. It was a spectacular success <'''<>'''> That's exactly what I told Mark S. <'''<>'''> 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. <'''<>'''> That Rocks!! <'''<>'''> I was touched. <'''<>'''> That does Rock <'''<>'''> X-Man: it's definitely not confirmed, but it was absolutely discussed <'''<>'''> having it in Florida again <'''<>'''> I will be there this time <'''<>'''> Marianna said that we need wait to get the feedback <'''<>'''> but I think everyone loved the location! <'''<>'''> I sure hope it happens - I *loved* being able to be around so many friends <'''<>'''> Definitely <'''<>'''> we had a great night with the women's team being here, and then having houseguests for several days afterward <'''<>'''> I bet that all of you had a ball!! <'''<>'''> It was a blast... and really, really, solidified the idea of family between several of us <'''<>'''> 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. <'''<>'''> 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 <'''<>'''> definitely <'''<>'''> MichelleQ2: Absolutely <'''<>'''> There have been some discrepancies with rights, and openid, but I think were through the thick of it <'''<>'''> Florida Team's planet should be working flawlessly as well <'''<>'''> awesome <'''<>'''> thanks to dantalizing ! <'''<>'''> I got my blog up on Planet, finally. <'''<>'''> MichelleQ2: Sweet!! <'''<>'''> I'll have to get it up on ours as well. <'''<>'''> As soon as I learn how to add them, I will ping you sometime and hook you up * '''<>''' shamelessly plugs www.opensourceroad.blogspot.com <'''<>'''> :-) <'''<>'''> nice!! <'''<>'''> o/ <'''<>'''> hey there cjohnston ! * '''<>''' waves <'''<>'''> howfy <'''<>'''> howdy <'''<>'''> I like howfy <'''<>'''> :D <'''<>'''> gonna end the meeting... unless anyone has anything they'd like to add <'''<>'''> nope <'''<>'''> ok then.. <'''<>'''> nope! <'''<>'''> #endmeeting ---- = Meeting closed at 01:30 = == People Present == * itnet7 * reya276 * MichelleQ2 * X-Man * mhall119 * cjohnston == Actions Recorded == None
