[04:59:46] <head_victim> So if anyone present for the meeting wants to acknowledge their attendance please speak up now
[05:00:00] <head_victim> [LINK] http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/team/65/detail/ meeting details and agenda
[05:00:35] <sagaci> hey yall
[05:01:08] <head_victim> Well that's one, is dns53 a second?
[05:02:14] <head_victim> Octatron & gorilla you guys still around?
[05:02:33] <dns53> a second of what?
[05:02:45] <head_victim> Person at the meeting, so far it's sagaci and I.
[05:02:48] <head_victim> Well third then.
[05:03:17] * dns53 goes to check the agenda
[05:03:47] <head_victim> I would have expected Boden here at some stage
[05:03:55] <head_victim> Might be a quick meeting.
[05:05:37] <head_victim> Well with this sort of turnout I would have expected some others to throw some ideas around on the mailing list a bit.
[05:06:11] <sagaci> a quiet one
[05:06:25] <head_victim> Well I'll run through the agenda while we're here, won't be much but at least it will be recorded for others to read over later.
[05:06:36] <head_victim> [TOPIC] Update on RTs
[05:07:15] <head_victim> Well I haven't heard much back yet and I was going to do a follow up email but then I realised there was a certain something called the UDS happening soon (right now in fact) so I thought I'd leave it another week or so
[05:07:32] <head_victim> This is to do with updating the website drupal installion so we can update the theme easily.
[05:08:13] <head_victim> So once I send for an update I'll forward the response to the mailing list.
[05:08:40] <head_victim> sagaci: shall we skip to your topic or did you want to postpone until we have more attend or some discussion on the list?
[05:09:07] <sagaci> postpone i guess
[05:09:32] <head_victim> Any luck with looking into the Chromium thing?
[05:10:11] <sagaci> not really, have to get my head around what's required, and then i'll go through with whatever needs to be done
[05:10:36] <head_victim> Fair enough, maybe email the ubuntu enAU team for support?
[05:11:13] <dns53> what are you trying to do?
[05:11:29] <sagaci> isn't the enAU team, essentially, us?
[05:11:33] <head_victim> Start a launchpad enAU translation team as opposed to a Ubuntu enAU team
[05:12:21] <head_victim> sagaci: nah there are quite a few others regularly contributing
[05:12:38] <head_victim> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-en-au is the home team and I run across a few of them when translating
[05:13:32] <head_victim> We need to make an enAU launchpad team as well if we want to translate other packages on launchpad (such as chromium) that are in Ubuntu
[05:15:55] <head_victim> Well other than that the only thing I can really add is a roundup of the release parties, who went to them? Any of them get much in the way of attendence?
[05:16:34] <dns53> there where 4 of us in adelaide
[05:17:24] <head_victim> 6 made it to the Brisbane one
[05:18:13] <sagaci> click - https://launchpad.net/~en-au
[05:18:22] <sagaci> not sure if I did it right
[05:19:42] <head_victim> sagaci: I'll have a look after the meeting if you like.
[05:19:55] <head_victim> Ok well I guess unless anyone has anything to bring up?
[05:20:54] <Octatron> Im back sorry
[05:20:55] <sagaci> don't have anything
[05:21:25] <dns53> i don't have anything either
[05:21:35] <head_victim> Octatron: welcome back we're just deciding if to close it up really.
[05:22:04] <Octatron> close up what sorry?
[05:22:09] <head_victim> I have a goal in the next week if I'm feeling better to try and do up a contact page like blahdeblah suggested for the website with links to who runs what part of the team (all the social groups, etc)
[05:22:22] <head_victim> The meeting, only sagaci, dns53 and yourself have shown up
[05:22:45] <tom_a_sparks> i'm really late
[05:22:59] <head_victim> Evenign tom_a_sparks late is better than never
[05:23:12] <head_victim> Octatron or tom_a_sparks did either of you have anything you wanted to discuss at al?
[05:23:13] <Octatron> Is everyone using the .ical calendar to find out about our meetings?
[05:23:32] <head_victim> I'm adding it to my phone like I always have.
[05:23:37] <Octatron> Is communication of meetings the problem with low turnouts?
[05:23:54] <tom_a_sparks> I just keep forgetting
[05:24:08] <head_victim> I'm not sure, I was going to send something to the list asking about what we can do to improve attendance but feel free to send something yourself to start the conversation
[05:24:10] <head_victim> I'm open to all ideas.
[05:24:16] <dns53> the ical works in gmail
[05:24:39] <head_victim> dns53: cool
[05:24:44] <Octatron> we need to make it easy for people to add the ubuntu calendar to google calendars for smart phones and the like maybe?
[05:24:51] <sagaci> I've got to head off for a while, I guess I'll post my item til next meeting
[05:24:54] <head_victim> Octatron: dns53 just said it worked
[05:24:59] <head_victim> sagaci: sorry mate
[05:25:21] <sagaci> I'll be online later but not within meeting time
[05:25:27] <dns53> yeah it works fine for my android phone, and a work around might be to feed it to gmail then pull from that for other applications
[05:25:27] <sagaci> ciao
[05:26:13] <head_victim> I'm open to change the timing, the format anything, just need some ideas.
[05:26:23] <head_victim> Whatever it takes to get more people showing up
[05:26:30] <Octatron> well I know I had to really look for it before I found it myself maybe it needs to be in big text here is the link to add to your calendar so you can hook up and have a paaarrrtay!
[05:27:42] <Octatron> well could it be put on the front of the ubuntu-au website as the first item in big text here's what to use on your iphone, android of mobile to keep in touch with event etc..
[05:27:49] <head_victim> Ok well if anyone thinks of anything please email the list, we need to try and get som emore people attending
[05:28:28] <head_victim> Octatron: good idea, I'm hoping in the update to the website we can just have a link to "calendar" which goes to a wiki page explaining how to add the loco.u.c calendar to various devices and calendaring software
[05:28:41] <Octatron> google publish public calendars too I think could we do that?
[05:29:04] <dns53> google can give you a url that does not require authentication
[05:29:21] <head_victim> I'm trying to simplify the calendaring stuff at the moment, up until last month I had to update 3 places for each meeting.
[05:29:36] <head_victim> Can this be set up to get the feed off the loco.u.c site without having to manually inputting each item again?
[05:31:20] <Octatron> This is what you said before.. we need to make it obvious to people on one type of notification software not have to update several mediums
[05:32:01] <head_victim> I don't mind if it can feed off the one source but I'm really anti setting up things we're going to have to manually update each time
[05:32:42] <Octatron> exactly so if you only have to update one calendar and everyone gets it automatically that'd be cool
[05:33:02] <head_victim> Well that's why I'm trying to use loco.u.c as the source so we have one place to keep up to date.
[05:33:21] <Octatron> to do this they have to know not to download the ical file but to copy the link into their google calendar to work properly
[05:34:45] <Octatron> if everyone uses it this way once a change is made to the orginal ical file everyone gets it.. you might even be able to set the alerts for meetings to 1 day instead of 10 minutes
[05:34:58] <head_victim> Octatron: sounds good
[05:36:18] <Octatron> then direct everyone on mailist to the ubuntu-au main page and have the instructions on the front in font 30 :P
[05:36:19] <head_victim> Ok well I guess that's about all we have? Octatron or dns53 anything else?
[05:36:25] <head_victim> tom_a_sparks: you have anything to add?
[05:37:08] <dns53> nope nothing to add, back to minecraft
[05:37:20] <head_victim> [IDEA] email list to see how we can improve attendance
[05:37:23] <Octatron> maybe add screen dumps?
[05:37:31] <head_victim> Octatron: yep if it's going to help
[05:38:08] <head_victim> [IDEA] postpone translation and maintaining social pages until next meeting
[05:38:20] <Octatron> who doesn't love screen dumps .. I could make it for google at least dunno about yahoo or msn
[05:39:15] <head_victim> #endmeeting
Meeting ended.
