Why do people find structure so critical to a community. We are a
group of people interested in Ubuntu and the progression of Ubuntu in
Australia. Do we need to hold conferences with minutes and boards?
None of this is at all binding so how can you expect anyone who does
not get their "voted" leade
How long do we want to hold up decisions. Are we just going to sit
here complaining about a voting system into the next year and have 0%
productivity or are we going to do something. I have noticed the

that get the choice. If you ar
We spent most of the meeting before last on the restructuring so why
would we repeat it. I will be voting :-)

I believe that you are not allowed to change the operating system in
the contract with the DET until you leave school. I go to a public
school ( I am a senior student ) and I don't think you are allowed to
actually install another system. The system is also loaded with
goodies like programs that ac
That is quite odd that has happened. To get this straight you have
customized the screensaver and after rebooting the screensaver
settings are the same but you are not seeing the results of your
settings even though after the reboot they appear the same? Cheers.

Could you find out the model of wireless card which is really
important for diagnosing. Run the lspci you may have to do that as
root ( sudo lspci ) and that will pretty much just list all PCI
devices. If you see your wireless card on that list it is a really
good thing because it means the operati

I prefer the idea of an informal structure as Norm, VK3XCI mentioned
it seems to fit the online community better than a rigid formal
structure and I don't see how you could really argue that a formal
structure is more inclusive than exclusive. One of the best things
about an informal structure is
eting as well as a link to the meeting log.

I am trying to be a more active member of the ubuntu-au community now.
Anyway I think we are on the right track moving away from this type of
behavior to a more unified community.

It does not matter what we name it we just need to come to some
conclusion as to what sort of structure we want. Firstly lets map out
what we actually need "leadership" in or what we need organisation
for. We obviously need a contact along with maybe an events manager
and a community manager. We ca

Yes for me we need to have an official Australian LoCo we can't just
be cut off from Ubuntu as an entire country :/

within the community it will make organising events etc
easier. Also decisions should be made as a community I agree.

I think a very simple odd numbered comittiee of 3 to 5 people would be
the best system. It is simple it allows for effective work delegation
and it suits the nature of the community. These people would be openly

Do people love or hate the idea of Ubuntu One? Personally I think they
are heading in the right direction they are not trying to be your PC
they don't want to do all the computing they are just trying to make
computing more convenient. Anyway I would love to hear your opinions
on it.

In light of recent events, I thought I would take the liberty of
changing the topic! How is everyone finding the Koala? Soft and cuddly
or does it have claws and red eyes? I am quite pleased with the new
boot screen and theme makes it more visually pleasing.

No problem making your own distro, just do it yourself. Don't make a
word document and do a horrible design in MS paint upload it to an

In my opinion I think Ubuntu and indeed all Linux distributions are a
little bit of a culture shock for people whom are used to being given
software from a proprietary organization such as Microsoft or
Macintosh. Avoid the technical details between the systems I think
