Surely I don't need to upgrade from 10.04LTS to 10.10, then to 11.04 and then to 11.10 before upgrading to 12.04LTS? I would be grateful for advice from members. PS My Update Manager does not advise that 12.04LTS is ready to load. Geoffrey I did a lucid to precise upgrade the other day. Because it was prerelease I simply kicked it off by typing 'update-manager -d' in a terminal. Can't remember if I used sudo or not. Not sure why you are not getting the option via the update manager GUI after precise has been released.

I called the Brisbane Square library a few days after the release party and asked them about it - they couldn't confirm available dates in January then, but I'm sure that they could now. My vote is holding it at Brisbane Square, if we can't secure funding for The Edge - it's central and close to public transport (but might not be so convenient for those with cars... though it is a nice walk over Victoria Bridge!). Anyway, I'm happy to chip in with organisation, promotion and cup cakes, and Vadim will be there to help with the technical stuff on the day. We should probably lock something in sooner rather than later, though. I had the impression that these things fill up quickly, particularly in the school holidays. A lot of workplaces are closed for the first week of January (including mine) so holding it on a weekday wouldn't be a problem for us. Weekends might draw more people, though.

Good to hear! I'm hoping if we can lock in a date and time it will help others decide if they can be there or not as well. I've got a script that I just wrote to make updating a new installation a little more painless. You do the new install from the try ubuntu boot and with no internet connection (so the install only takes about 15 minutes) and when you run the script it puts all the current .deb files into the correct directory on the target. When the system is then logged in and updated it only has to download the software lists and update the cache - all the updates are already there. If the target directory has not been created by ubiquity the script waits until it is. As an extra benefit it works with any release, based on the major kernel version, you just need to have the .deb files for any release that you want to update.

Some initial thoughts on about such meetings: - Location: - family-friendly venue - central location - free parking Free parking could be tricky for central location but we have a fairly good public transport network with good access from major suburban shopping centres . - close to public transport - easy access to coffee/food (or at least facilities to prepare such) - free/very cheap wireless Internet access - preferably a local Ubuntu mirror - Activities: - install-fests - informal technical talks about things we're working on - share problems or concerns and try to solve them - accessible to all levels of technical expertise (no elitist developers excluding newbies) - open to potential Ubuntu users as well as actual Ubuntu users - log our actions on IRC and/or wiki I would be willing to organise something like this on a semi-regular basis (say once per quarter). I'm sure i could talk my church into hosting it, but it fails on the central location, and the ADSL speed is not great. A few questions for you all to ponder: - Is this a useful thing? Would you attend more than 1 meeting per year? Yes - Would you be willing to contribute an informal talk if you did attend? Yes - Would a central location be essential, or would multiple meetings in different geographical areas work better? Both have merit. I think start with central and see what happens from there. I'd be willing to assist with transport if required. - Do you know of any good venues?

Dave are you able to explain to the uninitiated exactly what the role of the (co) team contact is? What duties will Peter be sharing with Melissa I am proposing Peter as he has been around the LoCo for a long time. He is also a computerbank committee member, so he has some knowledge about how FOSS groups work. He has also been active around LUV and SFD, while also running ubuntu.net.au. In my experience Peter has always been a model of how to live by the code of conduct in the ubuntu community. Unless things have changed in the last 6 months or so, Peter is not a power user, but he is a passionate user of ubuntu. I think that Peter is the best person to bring the group together, while Melissa has the experience to stop us making the same mistakes again. I thin the 2 of them would make a great time to move us forward. Keep in mind this is an interim arrangement. Is Peter happy with this nomination? Have you discussed this with him? I think the first role of the new team should be to facilitate a discussion on the direction and objectives of the group, to be followed by how to structure the group. In principle I'm all for any process that will clear the air and get us all pulling in the same direction.

Brisbane Ubuntu Community Meeting - 7th February, 2010.
A very late write-up from our most recent meeting. Enjoy. --- The second Brisbane Ubuntu community meeting was held at Gilhooley's Chermside, a typical Irish style pub. As I was the nominated meeting organiser for the event so I got there early, ordered a Kilkenny and sat back to wait for folks to arrive. I found myself scrutinising everyone that walked past to see if I could identify if the person was an ubuntu user. Not sure what I was thinking; that by using ubuntu we are all somehow develop a power to be able to instantly recognise another member of the tribe. Anyway my powers were on the fritz that day as all I managed to do was get some odd looks from some poor people that where wandering around just trying to find the loo. Do we ubuntu users need to come up with a secret signal so that we can pick each other out in public? What a relief when I recognised someone from our previous meeting. Andrew was at the other side of the room near the bar scanning the area for signs of ubuntu geeks. At about the same time a couple of other ubuntu-ers arrived and the combination of swivelling heads and searching looks and my vigorous arm waving must have been enough of a signal to everyone that like minded people were in the area and we were all soon seated and making introductions. The last couple of attendees to arrive seemed to have no trouble finding us. Might have been due to the laptops and other gadgets that had appeared soon after we were all seated. It was great to see a 50% increase in attendance for this meeting. There were six of us at the meeting! Fingers crossed we can match this growth for our next meeting. After we completed the introductions everyone started talking about their favourite topic, tech. There were a number of different conversations at the same time, here is a list of the ones I was apart of, or caught snippets of: - Conroy's filter plans ( what's a gathering without a bit of political chat) - Calendar synchronisation - How to secure home environments with tools that work with ubuntu - Options for ditching itunes for teenagers with iPods. - Are we brave enough to install Ubuntu on relatives computers? Packages/products discussed: - ispconfig - amsn - atunes - xaile - quickcad - spyspurt - GNOME configuration cleanup tool - name? - randr.com - Lenovo D10 server Just before we pulled stumps Paul asked each of us What is the one thing you would change about Ubuntu if you could? Here are the answers everyone gave: Cary: combined DVD of all *buntu, no need to carry separate CDs for server, desktop, Kubuntu, etc. Andrew: fix the regressions, esp. laptop power management David: iPod/Nokia/electronic device support James: added onto Andrew's point on laptop power management; more intuitive keychain password management when passwords change Nigel: slick shared calendar across all desktop apps Paul: compelling web admin interface for directory/file sharing/email/calendar setup; Active Directory Exchange are killing us in this space Just before everyone went their own way we agreed our goal should be to all have ubuntu tee shirts so that we at least can find each other and hopefully raise the profile of ubuntu at our next gathering. We finished the meeting at about 5pm. Three hours goes fast when you having fun. I had a great time geeking out with a group of like minded people and am looking forward to our next gathering. Hopefully we can lure more ubuntu users and people who are curious about ubuntu and open source in general to our next meeting.

What I am proposing is that some users in metropolitan Australia with quicker download speeds and higher download quota limits burn a copy of the new release and then post it to another user who might be stuck on dial up or regional 3G services with very low download limits. I would like to see if this sort of a service would be useful to our regional users or not and I would also be willing to coordinate this service.
