Started logging meeting in #ubuntu-ie
[15:03:54] <tdr1121> here
[15:04:02] <ebel> Right, I think if you say something it'll record who's here
[15:04:09] <czajkowski> PRESENT
[15:04:09] <johnnycbad> here
[15:04:18] * daxroc abuses MootBot with a bit of a large trout !
[15:04:23] <ebel> we're trying something new with this MootBot. It should make doing meeting easier, since it make logs and the like for us. :)
[15:04:36] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: *ping*
[15:04:44] <daithif> here
[15:05:01] <Smokeyfish> an seohere
[15:05:53] <ebel> wewt
[15:06:05] <ebel> For the record there's a wiki page for this meeting here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2009-07-15
[15:06:23] <czajkowski> [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2009-07-15]
[15:06:28] <ebel> The usual way we do meetings is to create a wiki page which lists things people want to see talked about
[15:06:37] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings/2009-07-15
[15:06:39] <ebel> and everyone's welcome and free to add to it.
[15:06:51] <ebel> Huzzah!, thanks czajkowski
[15:07:02] <czajkowski> :)
[15:07:02] <ebel> right we'll get started properly
[15:07:10] <ebel> [topic] Update IrishTeam/Events wiki
[15:07:18] * ebel hands the chair over to czajkowski
[15:07:22] <czajkowski> Right I;ve added this for a few reasons
[15:07:31] <czajkowski> so firstly how can we get mor activitiyy
[15:07:48] <czajkowski> I thoight of Geeknic and we've a few turning up - yay and canonical will be over that day so we can meet folks
[15:07:54] <czajkowski> but how else can we get folks
[15:08:11] <czajkowski> would people be interested in a talk - once a month as well as or on the same day as tbe PotD ?
[15:08:25] <czajkowski> not too technie but still something they're working on
[15:08:33] <ebel> python ireland do that a lot
[15:08:34] <czajkowski> plus gives folks a chance to practice giving talks
[15:08:39] <czajkowski> ebel: exactly
[15:08:40] <johnnycbad> people for the team or to switch to ubuntu?
[15:08:41] <ebel> half their meet ups are talks, half are pubs
[15:08:42] <czajkowski> thoughts /
[15:09:03] <tdr1121> what area would these talks be in
[15:09:14] <czajkowski> tdr1121: they could be anything, so topics from tog would be great
[15:09:26] <czajkowski> could be an idiots guide to cut n paste using gimp!
[15:09:38] <czajkowski> I just think we could get more participation
[15:09:45] <stronger> czajkowski: cool!
[15:09:46] <ebel> ILUG has regular potds, but i don't think they do talks a lot..
[15:09:56] <czajkowski> just becasue e've become a recognised loco doesnt mean we drop the ball
[15:10:01] <ebel> so perhaps there is a need...
[15:10:11] <czajkowski> so how about we give a small 20 min talk before potD
[15:10:17] <johnnycbad> Talks sounds good
[15:10:18] <czajkowski> so we start our potd @ 6:30 ?
[15:10:25] <czajkowski> you can demo on laptop
[15:10:34] <czajkowski> or just give a 20 mins presention
[15:10:36] <ebel> python ireland have talks in one nonpub venue and then go to the pub
[15:10:47] <ebel> talks in a pub wouldn't really work IMO..
[15:10:51] <czajkowski> ebel: aye but where would we go ?
[15:10:58] <ebel> hmmm
[15:11:02] <ebel> dunno
[15:11:28] <tdr1121> it would be hard to get a room every 4 weeks
[15:11:31] <czajkowski> yes
[15:11:42] <czajkowski> and the pub is generally quieter around then
[15:11:53] <czajkowski> possibly during the academic year we could ask in tcd
[15:12:02] <czajkowski> again these are my random sleepless nights thoughts
[15:12:17] <tdr1121> the best thing to do would be to give it a go a few things and see how it turns out
[15:12:17] <ebel> perhaps pub for a start
[15:12:23] <czajkowski> yup
[15:12:28] <tdr1121> *times
[15:12:52] <johnnycbad> Would thay always have to take place in the same area? Members could scout out a place in a nearvy city/big town and a place to go afterwards?
[15:12:57] <czajkowski> so how about this August potd we start : 6:15 and give a short talk, I'll happily do a 10 min talk on the loco and ideas for it
[15:12:58] <stronger> isn't 6:30 early enough to ask pub owner for 20 mins without/with quiet music in the background
[15:13:16] <Smokeyfish> the ossbar camp takes place in DIT; would that be a possible venue?
[15:13:17] <czajkowski> stronger: not where we are in longstone we get the area cut off and have music off
[15:13:33] <czajkowski> Smokeyfish: again during the year its fine just not during the summer
[15:14:20] <czajkowski> [idea] talks at potd short 15 mins can be on anything you want
[15:14:48] <czajkowski> folks to use MootBot here use the commands at the top ebel posted so for an idea do [ idea ] stuff
[15:14:49] <ebel> good idea
[15:15:03] <czajkowski> [vote]
[15:15:11] <czajkowski> ebel: can you use vote please
[15:15:35] <ebel> [vote] should we have talks before a potd
[15:15:37] <ebel> +1
[15:15:46] <czajkowski> +1
[15:15:49] <daithif> +1
[15:15:49] <johnnycbad> +1
[15:15:54] <stronger> +1
[15:15:55] <tdr1121> +1
[15:16:00] <daxroc> +1
[15:16:01] <ebel> So do a +1 if you agree with the proposal, a -1 if you disagree, and a 0 if you don't care
[15:16:01] <Smokeyfish> +1
[15:16:37] <czajkowski> ok
[15:16:54] <ebel> #endvote
[15:16:59] <ebel> [endvote]
[15:17:03] <ebel> huzzah
[15:17:17] * czajkowski is liking MootBot
[15:17:23] <ebel> Yes.
[15:17:31] <ebel> [action] we'll have talks before potd
[15:17:32] <tdr1121> its a cool bot
[15:17:37] <ebel> now, who wants to go first?
[15:17:45] <ebel> With the talks that is?
[15:17:48] <czajkowski> I'll do a small one on Ubuntu Loco
[15:18:04] <czajkowski> maybe tog folks would liek to show us what they are working on ?
[15:18:06] <ebel> [agreed] czajkowski will do a talk on locos
[15:18:34] <daithif> sorry whats tog?
[15:18:49] <czajkowski> daithif: tog is a cool new venture taking place in Dublin, hackerspace
[15:19:00] <daithif> czajkowski: thanks
[15:19:14] <ebel> [link] http://www.tog.ie
[15:19:16] <tdr1121> #tog on freenode
[15:19:24] <ebel> It's a hackerspace,.
[15:19:30] <czajkowski> daithif: and a lotta folks in here ar members and they work on cool projects
[15:19:44] <ebel> One can join a channel like this and chat to like minded folks. A hackerspace is a physical place you can do that
[15:19:50] <ebel> we have a space down on the quays
[15:20:15] <ebel> [topic] IRC plugin on the wiki and .org site
[15:20:22] <ebel> next up from czajkowski again
[15:20:35] <czajkowski> right
[15:20:51] <czajkowski> well again basically to get more people online and in here discussing or if they are looking for help
[15:21:04] <czajkowski> I see lots of other Locos have a plugin on their site that brings them directly to their Loco channel
[15:21:11] <czajkowski> meaning they dont have to set up ssh and get terminals
[15:21:24] <ebel> or set up xchat
[15:21:28] <czajkowski> idealy you're aiming at newbies or folks behind firewalls
[15:21:32] <daxroc> like guest01234
[15:21:43] <czajkowski> so I'm looking for someone to set this up on the ubuntu-ie.org site
[15:21:49] <czajkowski> daithif: exactly
[15:22:20] <czajkowski> so ...
[15:22:20] <johnnycbad> My friend over at http://www.phyrik.com has a rather nice web IRC interface
[15:22:21] <czajkowski> anyone?
[15:22:46] <Mean-Machine> sorry, wifi going crazy here...
[15:22:52] <czajkowski> [link] http://www.phyrik.com/
[15:22:57] <ebel> well there's a freenode one
[15:22:59] <johnnycbad> I have a lot of free time, I could do it
[15:23:00] <Smokeyfish> it would have to be a server side client then, to avoid firewalls?
[15:23:05] <ebel> [link
[15:23:07] <ebel> [link
[15:23:10] <ebel> [link] http://webchat.freenode.net/
[15:23:25] <czajkowski> so we could add the freenode one to our site and make it easier for folks to come in here
[15:23:33] <czajkowski> I'm wondering would someone like to make that happen
[15:23:37] <ebel> And FreeNode have blocked the popular web irc client
[15:24:33] <Smokeyfish> a web client could be a possible source of abuse if it masks the source of the user
[15:25:16] <ebel> Smokeyfish: it was popular with trolls...
[15:25:17] <daxroc> are our memberships not open_ids / verify that way
[15:25:19] <czajkowski> ebel: for good reason and we're working on that f
[15:25:31] <johnnycbad> Things are usually so quiet in here though that it's likely they wouldn't get much buzz
[15:25:43] <ebel> but mibbit *did* show IP address.
[15:25:48] <johnnycbad> Nobody in here is stupid enough to humour a troll
[15:25:51] * ebel is not to worried about trolls.
[15:25:56] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: so would you like to intergrade the freenode one into our site please?
[15:26:21] <stronger> why not just sending a text to fellow newbies asking them to join irc meeting? i'm sure everyone of us can afford to send 2 or 3 txts
[15:26:45] <johnnycbad> czajkowski, no problem, I'd be happy to do it, should have it done tomorrow evening at the latest, assuming I don't have any problems
[15:26:47] <czajkowski> stronger: it's not just irc meeting, it's in general
[15:26:52] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: lovely
[15:27:00] <czajkowski> ebel: shall work his action magic so
[15:27:06] <ebel> This channel is good for community
[15:27:15] <ebel> and for chatting and hanging out
[15:27:22] <czajkowski> yup
[15:27:28] <czajkowski> and bike talk
[15:27:36] <johnnycbad> and for getting help whn things go pear shaped!
[15:27:41] <ebel> [agreed] johnnycbad will look at putting a link / widget / thingie-ma-bob on the ubuntu website for ajax irc chat
[15:28:34] <ebel> roight
[15:28:40] <ebel> [topic] Events, talks for the LoCo
[15:28:53] <czajkowski> well we kinda covered that in the 1st one really
[15:28:55] <ebel> this sounds familar, czajkowski did you add basically the same thing twice?
[15:28:57] <czajkowski> so I think thats done
[15:29:13] <czajkowski> ebel: aye it would see that way
[15:29:20] <ebel> right
[15:29:26] <ebel> [topic] UbuntuGlobalJam
[15:29:30] <czajkowski> Right
[15:29:38] <ebel> [link
[15:29:43] <ebel> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam
[15:29:48] <johnnycbad> Just like to add, I'll probably need ftp details etc.
[15:29:49] <czajkowski> so this year instead of a Global bug jam it;s a jam for all sorts
[15:29:50] <ebel> The ] is right beside enter key :P
[15:30:00] <delcoyote> ping back czajkowski
[15:30:10] <delcoyote> 1 smoke ill be back, visitors
[15:30:13] * johnnycbad loves ], so much better than )
[15:30:20] <ebel> johnnycbad: for the website? Well it's a drupal install
[15:30:23] <czajkowski> we've signed up to participate
[15:30:37] <stronger> johnnycbad: you clearly hate lisp ;-)
[15:30:38] <czajkowski> and as an example here is the UK one [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/GlobalJam09
[15:30:41] <ebel> johnnycbad: we don't have a lot of low level access.
[15:30:47] <czajkowski> [link] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/GlobalJam09
[15:31:20] <ebel> We did a bug jam before
[15:31:21] <czajkowski> so we also need to set one up for the Irish Team, I can arrange to book DIT for Saturday and Sunday but we'll need to have an idea what we are gonna cover
[15:31:23] <ebel> it was great :)
[15:31:23] <Mean-Machine> btw, I think tomorrow is Ubuntu Hug Day, isn't it?
[15:31:54] * czajkowski wont be here for Global Jam day so would like to have it set up and people know what they are doing before then
[15:32:01] <czajkowski> so we can get more people involved this time
[15:32:18] <czajkowski> ideally shane_fagan would be here to tell us his plans for translations
[15:32:24] <czajkowski> so thoughts ?
[15:32:34] <czajkowski> for those who didnt make global bug jam day last year
[15:32:34] <tdr1121> I think two days is a bit much
[15:32:34] <ebel> we should do it
[15:32:38] <ebel> deginily
[15:32:45] <ebel> I'm willing to help out with bugs and teaching
[15:32:52] <czajkowski> ebel: gave a demo on how to log bugs and triage them
[15:33:04] <czajkowski> maybe we could on on e of the talk potds give some examples?
[15:33:15] <czajkowski> tdr1121: maybe, but lotta places doing it for the 3 days
[15:33:33] <czajkowski> tdr1121: also allows for folks who can come one day and not the other?
[15:33:59] <ebel> we could have different things on different days
[15:34:00] <johnnycbad> I'm v. v. broke at the moment but would love to come for the experience
[15:34:07] <czajkowski> ebel: ohh good idea
[15:34:13] <ebel> day #1 bugs and testing, day #2 docs and translatipons
[15:34:19] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: tis ages away, loads of time to work things out
[15:34:22] * stronger have spare laptop for testing karmic, would love to learn more on good bug reporting/triaging practices
[15:34:23] <ebel> that's quite a code vs non code split
[15:34:27] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: or you can hold a bug day in your college
[15:34:30] <Mean-Machine> ebel, that sounds cool
[15:34:48] <ebel> so if one is interested in one thing one could come to one day
[15:34:49] <johnnycbad> czajkowski, good idea
[15:35:12] <czajkowski> ok so what we need is a wiki done up and we can add to it I've added the UK one as an example as it ha multiple locations
[15:35:18] <czajkowski> and if folks cannot make Dublin that's fine
[15:35:29] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: you could and others run one in your area
[15:35:37] <czajkowski> just keep the details on the wiki
[15:35:44] <daxroc> Can I suggest / volunteer for a redesign of the site to incorperate czajkowski irc plugin and a more streamlined user expierence ? ( not that anyting is wrong with the current one)
[15:35:47] <czajkowski> so anyone volunteer to do a wiki, someone new
[15:36:05] <czajkowski> daxroc: are you volunteering ?
[15:36:07] <czajkowski> :)
[15:36:44] <johnnycbad> czajkowski, I'd have to have a scout around, not a big ubuntu userbase round where I live :)
[15:36:44] <czajkowski> stronger: fancy doing a wiki page......
[15:36:56] <ebel> daxroc: the ubuntu-ie site? Sure.
[15:37:01] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: well we can play it by ear..
[15:37:14] <ebel> johnnycbad: you never know.. you might be able to get people to come to find out about it...
[15:37:14] <daxroc> ebel: yeah needs some loving
[15:37:42] <daithif> czajkowski: i'll do the wiki page
[15:37:47] <daxroc> ebel: you know whats behind it ( php ? python )
[15:37:48] <czajkowski> daithif: great!
[15:37:58] <stronger> czajkowski: wiki page - sure, just need more info
[15:38:00] <czajkowski> ebel: see daithif vlunteer
[15:38:05] <czajkowski> ok
[15:38:13] <ebel> daxroc: the current site is drupal.
[15:38:18] <johnnycbad> ebel, next time I'm doing a system reinstall for someone I'll just accidentally throw on jaunty jackolope instead :)
[15:38:24] <czajkowski> stronger: and daithif can ye work together to get the wiki up maybe links to stuff to helpe people get an idea
[15:38:38] <ebel> johnnycbad: tell them it's an upgrade that doesn't get viruses.
[15:38:52] <daithif> czajkowski: yup
[15:39:00] <johnnycbad> ebel, I wouldn't be lying anyways
[15:39:10] <delcoyote> czajkowski, wassup?
[15:39:17] <czajkowski> delcoyote: thanks for coming :p
[15:39:26] <delcoyote> sorry im half busy

[15:41:19] <daxroc> I should have a good bit of free time over the next two weeks
[15:41:22] <johnnycbad> what's the /command to open up a privite chat channel with someone?
[15:41:29] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: /msg nick
[15:41:44] <johnnycbad> czajkowski, /facepalm thanks
[15:42:15] <ebel> right back to the global jam....
[15:42:19] <ebel> any more ideas?
[15:42:43] <czajkowski> well do folks like the idea of DIT again ?
[15:42:50] <Smokeyfish> johnnycbad: possibly /query to open a more permanent query window with someone
[15:43:00] <Mean-Machine> DIT worked out great the last time
[15:43:07] <tdr1121> dit is a nice venue
[15:43:26] <Mean-Machine> + one prof is pro-ubuntu ;-]
[15:43:29] <czajkowski> ok so I should sort venue out again for the event
[15:43:36] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: aye
[15:43:38] <daithif> i like idea of bug triaging talk at a potd in advance of the jam
[15:43:45] <Mean-Machine> get dit students to attend as well
[15:44:16] <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, what's the bugjam date?
[15:44:24] <slashtom> can we have access to the room in advance, sort out some chairs and desk space?
[15:44:32] <Smokeyfish> I think some of the lecturers in DIT would be willing to notify students
[15:44:33] <slashtom> last time there was a lack
[15:44:35] <czajkowski> 2-4th oct
[15:44:36] <daithif> Mean-Machine: 2nd-4th oct
[15:44:47] <Mean-Machine> thanks
[15:44:54] <czajkowski> slashtom: yes good idea
[15:45:01] <czajkowski> slashtom: shall arrange that
[15:45:21] <slashtom> great, and i will try and get ebel up in time
[15:45:24] <Mean-Machine> we'll promote the jam aggressively at ossbarcamp then
[15:45:40] <ebel> :)
[15:45:44] <ebel> yes.
[15:45:51] <czajkowski> ok I think we have some ideas and we can address the rest at the next meeting and I'll have feedback from DIT
[15:46:22] <slashtom> czajkowski: are you getting people to register for this one too?
[15:46:35] <czajkowski> slashtom: for the jam?
[15:46:44] <czajkowski> yes I think it's a good idea to do so.
[15:46:54] <ebel> yep
[15:47:06] <czajkowski> I *think* shane)fagan has sorted out the spam issue on the site so folks can sign up
[15:47:52] <czajkowski> last topic before AOb is not mine :D
[15:48:50] <Mean-Machine> MootBot, please
[15:49:19] <czajkowski> did we lose an ebel
[15:49:31] <ebel> ahoyu!
[15:49:52] <ebel> [topic] Ubuntu promotion at OSSBarCamp
[15:49:56] <ebel> from Mean-Machine
[15:49:59] <Mean-Machine> right so. I just wanted to start the discussion on how should we promote k/x/ubuntu at ossbarcamp...
[15:50:07] <ebel> who, thank god, has arrived :)
[15:50:28] <czajkowski> [link] http://www.ossbarcamp.com/
[15:50:33] <Mean-Machine> ebel, netz probs
[15:50:51] <Mean-Machine> not only at ossbarcamp but any future events
[15:50:59] <stronger> do we care about buzz/publicity? we could have a crm-like database of people worth notifying before the event
[15:51:00] <Smokeyfish> Is the distribution of live/install discs common practise?
[15:51:15] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: well I'd love to see some talks, and ideally an ubuntu-ie LoCo stand where we can give folks advice or answer questions
[15:51:16] <johnnycbad> Smokeyfish, if not a great idea
[15:51:16] <tdr1121> there are a few ways , a talk , demo , cd's
[15:51:18] <Mean-Machine> we can get marketing materials from canonical
[15:51:23] <Mean-Machine> but what else?
[15:51:54] <czajkowski> at self there they used stand - so folks can stop by and ask questions
[15:51:57] <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, ubuntu-ie stand would be great
[15:52:12] <czajkowski> ok so I think I can allow us to have a stand there ;)
[15:52:16] <johnnycbad> I saw a awesome page on the web recently, which listed windows programs for every job, and the linux alternatives
[15:52:40] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: you can tell us after meeting ok :) thanks
[15:52:41] <johnnycbad> make a nice tidy printout and you can show people they're losing nothing by making the switch
[15:52:42] <delcoyote> dit
[15:52:51] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: a nice idea
[15:52:52] <delcoyote> students are out till spetember
[15:53:04] <johnnycbad> czajkowski, let me finish in future :P
[15:53:05] <czajkowski> we can have them printed with our loco badge
[15:53:06] <Mean-Machine> would be great to have a ubuntu machine there for folks to try out as well
[15:53:11] <ebel> leaflets are a good ide
[15:53:36] <Mean-Machine> ebel, we can now get this, as we are an aproved LoCo
[15:53:48] <Mean-Machine> Pack A for Approved Loco Teams contain:
[15:53:48] <Mean-Machine> * 4 t-shirts
[15:53:48] <Mean-Machine> * 25 Ubuntu sticker sheets
[15:53:48] <Mean-Machine> * 50 leaflets
[15:53:48] <Mean-Machine> * 2 branded caps
[15:53:49] <Mean-Machine> * Box of 50 pens
[15:53:51] <czajkowski> I was wondering if folks would like to chip in and get a banner done up with Ubuntu-ie LoCo on it
[15:54:09] <czajkowski> might cost us 15-20 each and I'll see if I can get it sponsored so we can bring it to events?
[15:54:25] <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, that was my next idea
[15:54:27] <Mean-Machine> :P
[15:54:31] <czajkowski> great minds :)
[15:54:35] <Mean-Machine> ubuntu-br have a great banner
[15:54:51] <johnnycbad> I'm very broke but would chip in a tenner, student discount :)
[15:54:57] <Mean-Machine> doesn't have to be big
[15:55:02] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: thats really cool of you
[15:55:11] <czajkowski> but I've no idea where to get this done
[15:55:17] <Mean-Machine> johnnycbad, the more appreciated
[15:55:18] <daxroc> czajkowski: a mandatory full attendance potD with price of first pint towards banner ?
[15:55:29] <daithif> also happy to contribute
[15:55:43] <ebel> Good idea.
[15:55:52] <Smokeyfish> me too
[15:55:57] <ebel> Mean-Machine: also great about the membership pack.
[15:55:59] <Mean-Machine> nice one!
[15:56:04] <ebel> where does banners?
[15:56:05] <czajkowski> i mean it could be a lot cheaper to get it done online, or dublin or outside of Dublin
[15:56:07] <johnnycbad> czajkowski, Local Bussiness Promotions, Ballyhaunis, have done so great ones for local events, definetly cheaper than city-based firms I reckon
[15:56:19] <delcoyote> Smokeyfish, are you at DIT?
[15:56:28] <Mean-Machine> czajkowski, I will ask Rob from TOG
[15:56:29] <slashtom> t-shirts for all.... show yourselves as a team?
[15:56:32] <Smokeyfish> yes, part time
[15:56:36] <czajkowski> Mean-Machine: if you ask rob
[15:56:36] <czajkowski> and
[15:56:37] <Mean-Machine> I saw his cycling banner once
[15:56:38] <delcoyote> lecture?
[15:56:40] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: asks at home
[15:56:51] <czajkowski> so we can have an idea of prices and stuff
[15:57:10] <ebel> [action] johnnycbad will get a quote for a banner from Ballyhaunis place
[15:57:12] <Mean-Machine> TOG is also doing tshirts atm
[15:57:22] <ebel> [action] Mean-Machine will ask robfitz abotu banner
[15:57:25] <Smokeyfish> no, student :)
[15:57:50] <johnnycbad> czajkowski, will do, could be a while though. They don't have a site, as I've asked them did they want one designed :)
[15:57:54] <daxroc> how about a group of people spelling out ubuntu with 3 people standing ( rotating ) with k / edu / etc on their tee shirts ( entertaining at least ) :P
[15:57:56] <ebel> [idea] Get an ubuntu-ie banner! Perhaps split cost amoung X people, or every donate price of a pint at potd
[15:58:04] <czajkowski> I'll also be looking for 2-4 volunteers for the day, so I'm hoping to get some DIT students on board
[15:58:29] <theirishpenguin> Apologies about disappearring. Back in the game. Just going to read up what ye've been talking about.
[15:58:50] <Mean-Machine> if we're going to have a stand we'll also need some volunteers
[15:59:03] <ebel> [idea] stand for ubuntu-ie at ossbarcamp
[15:59:14] <johnnycbad> dimensions for banner?
[15:59:18] * ebel volunteers to man the ubuntu-ie stand for part of the day at ossbarcamp
[16:00:01] <czajkowski> I'll be running around like a headless chicken
[16:00:06] <Mean-Machine> ebel, cool. we can switch then
[16:00:08] * daithif seconds slashtoms idea about ubuntu t-shirts for whoever is on the stand
[16:00:21] <czajkowski> daxroc: I'm sure I can try and sort something out
[16:00:23] <ebel> [idea] make up some ubuntu-ie tshirts
[16:00:33] <Mean-Machine> yay!
[16:00:34] <slashtom> or rather for everyone in ubuntu-ie
[16:00:42] <ebel> there's pleanty of sites that do a tshirt printing service, like cafepress
[16:00:42] <slashtom> it's a team... look like one :)
[16:00:47] <johnnycbad> If I'm at OSSbarcamp, it'll be my first barcamp (unless you count teencamp ireland) so I'd like to stay out of helping out so I can experience all of it
[16:00:57] <johnnycbad> if that's ok
[16:01:03] <daxroc> czajkowski: as in the animated 'human' logo
[16:01:08] <czajkowski> johnnycbad: thats perfectly ok, you'll have enough tasks between now and then to earn a rest
[16:01:14] <czajkowski> daxroc: it's a cool idea
[16:01:16] * tdr1121 will be doing stuff for the tog talk on the day
[16:01:20] <Mean-Machine> johnnycbad, of course it's ok
[16:01:34] <czajkowski> [link] http://www.ossbarcamp.com/registration/
