===  People who have achieved something in April, please place it in the report. ===
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/TeamReports/11/April

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> well there is the London release party to add to that

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok, i may have something for that,but it is a personal achievement, and not related to ubuntu, but OSS and OSH.

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> I need to add a link for Linux Outlaws, and add the fullcircle podcast

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> great

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> quite a full report this month

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [PROGRESS REPORT] AlanBell Update on the quiz night

===  AlanBell Update on the quiz night ===
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, well this was great fun

 * '''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>''' missed it due to personal commitments, :(

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> MartijnVdS and popey won baseball hats for their impressive high scores

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> yay

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> Jessica_Lilly won a copy of the official Ubuntu book as she admitted being a Gentoo user and thus was considered most in need of it!

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> lol

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> lol, :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> she got the book today

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> popey's hat is sat on my desk still

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> using Mumble worked quite well and we agreed to do that again some time

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> possibly for some evening hack sessions or something

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: yes, it worked very well, once we got it refined properly.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> for those who missed the quiz you can join the #ubuntu-trivia channel at any time and play with the quiz bot

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> we should  use it more, :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the "ubuntu" category was released for the quiz night and is now generally available in the brain of the bot

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> neat.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, I think that is about it on the quiz

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [PROGRESS REPORT] Update on the launch party for natty

===  Update on the launch party for natty ===
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yup, that happened

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the more formal thing at the BCS didn't, I had to cancel that

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> how come?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> canonical couldn't send a representative

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> thats a pity

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> That is not good

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> agreed.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I worked my way down the org chart asking people until it was getting silly

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> however, they are going to try to arrange it for the next release

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: couldnt someone from us, the community be representtive.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> not really

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok,

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> hmm.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> however the thing in the pub was fun

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> thats good. :)

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> although some people struggled to find us

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> was that before or after the beer ;)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> interesting question.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> they do have a rather fine selection of beers at the porterhouse

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, the next topic should be the election process vote

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: this is the same place oggcamp will be held?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> think I am going to defer that to the next meeting as I am not sure where the page is we are voting on and this meeting wasn't announced in advance enough

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> brobostigon: nope, the porterhouse is a pub in central london

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> oggcamp will be in the maltings in Farnham

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: oh, it must be a similer name then.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> (where they have an annual beer festival)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> yes, they are similer

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok,sorry.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> hmm, no daubers

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] Daubers - British Library Sci-Fi Exhibition

==  Daubers - British Library Sci-Fi Exhibition ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> daubers isn't online right now it seems

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> however take a look at http://www.bl.uk/whatson/exhibitions/outofthisworld/outofthisworld.html

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> what do you think about that as an activity?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> a meetup at the british library including or followed by a geeknic of some kind

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and cake

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I like it

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> sounds good

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> any potental dates?

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> interesing idea.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I don't think any dates have been proposed yet

||<#FF5555>'' http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/2011plan''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/2011plan

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> okey dokey, I'll keep an eye out

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> yes.

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Can we have a votey thing?

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> yes, we can have a votey thing

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> but we have to narrow it down to a reasonable selection of options first

||<#FF5555>'' http://www.bl.uk/whatson/planyourvisit/openinghours/index.html''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> http://www.bl.uk/whatson/planyourvisit/openinghours/index.html

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so looks like saturdays and sundays would be good options

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> or possibly a tuesday evening

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> definitely weekends, and if we can get dates soon enough it won't cost me an arm and a leg to come

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> i dont think i could  attend either, unless finances improve, so count me out, of the decision making,

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> the library and exhibition are free, but travel costs can indeed be a pain

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> yeah, I'm up in Blackpool, so its about £60 return

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> farnham is around £12 eachway, that is alot for me, for oggcamp.

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I'mm up for that, but have very few unbooked weekends in July/August

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> right now, anyway.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, so I will have a chat with daubers (as he suggested it) and get some dates together to put to the list on a doodle poll

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok.

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> good

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [action] AlanBell & daubers to sort out doodle poll for British Library SciFi exhibition

||<#FF5555>'' AlanBell & daubers to sort out doodle poll for British Library SciFi exhibition''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> [TOPIC] Any Other Business

==  Any Other Business ==
 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> does anyone have other things they want to raise at this time?

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> If I may

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> go ahead

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> yes, my someones idea, of me doing a preentation at oggcamp because of myhydraulic car project, using arduino and other.

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> I took an action at the last meeting to pull together a lessons learnt document, based on my experience of organising ucubed

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> I have pulled together the following http://dl.dropbox.com/u/448790/Lessons%20learnt%20from%20UCubed.pdf

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> excellent

 * '''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>''' shuts up.

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> and this is still in draft form, I will refine the document and include it in a full guide soon

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> I will also be working with the venue to produce a template for other events to use, to ensure that they achieve the most from their day

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> that looks great at first glance, will read in full later

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> hopefully the template will be transferrable for other events / venues

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> AlanBell: Thanks

 <'''<<Verbatim(Biglesp)>>'''> All done!

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Just curious as to reactions to Natty so far

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> great

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> brobostigon: do you need any help with that talk?

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> AlanBell: yes, not done anything like it before,

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> ok, lets discuss that a bit more after the meeting

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> ok.

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> thank you.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> barrydrake: natty seems to be going down OK in the media I think

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Great!

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> I think the next release will be a lot more "finished"

 * '''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>''' is  gnome-shell man though, than a unity one.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and that means the important LTS at 12.04 will be great

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> Indeed

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> yes.

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> remembering the year + worth of work prior.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> couple of other things to raise, this week is Ubuntu Open Week

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> which is a series of online presentations aimed at users of Ubuntu

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> ah

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> mark's questions yesterday.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> loads of really great information in them

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> when does that start or did it start

 <'''<<Verbatim(barrydrake)>>'''> I WAS a gnome desktop person until I persevered long enough to appreciate the power of Unity

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> sorry

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> logs and schedule for the rest of the week are there

 <'''<<Verbatim(popey)>>'''> sorry, forgot :(

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> brb, sorry.

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> np

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> it would be good if there was a way to notify users of such events, via the ubuntu notification thing

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and the next thing to raise is the Ubuntu Developer Summit which is next week

||<#FF5555>'' http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-o/''||

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> zleap: http://ubuntu-news.org/calendars/fridge/

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> thanks

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so the developer summit is a week packed with sessions discussing different topics

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> there are IRC channels for each room, a live audio feed

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> :) yes.

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> and collaborative notes via etherpad (I made that bit \o/)

 <'''<<Verbatim(brobostigon)>>'''> here is a thought, uds session contribution help via mumble,

 <'''<<Verbatim(AlanBell)>>'''> so do have a look through the schedule and drop in on some sessions

 <'''<<Verbatim(zleap)>>'''> will have to look in to it,  just signed up for another open uni course, that should keep me busy over summer
