Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam and other Events
13th September Brighton Happy Hour - someone suggested Brighton and the date which is a great idea, but I don't recall who it was, or what pub was specified, Someone pick a pub in Brighton and lets make this happen! Please can people in the area reply with pub suggestions and a general agreement on the date. This was me! I'll put some thought into a pub, however unfortunately I may no longer actually be in Brighton due to a change in personal circumstances :-( Hopefully I can just make the journey down anyway if I am no longer living down there!

[Bug 963514] [NEW] Lots of graphics glitches when using dash (and other components)
Public bug reported: I upgraded in the last day or so, and a previously solid Ubuntu 12.04 install, has gone down hill fast. If I am using an application (for example chrome as I write this) everything is fine. If I try and use anything involving unity (the dash, the global menu, the app switcher) I get lots of flickering.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Happy Hour
Can I suggest rotating them around different parts of london, so that it's easier for people from outside London to join? So, one meet somewhere near kings cross/victoria/paddington/euston etc. That way more people can attend from outside London.

Good accessible location (for Londoners at least) and nice to see canonical folks there (and some most welcome Google folk) Definitely agree! I was wondering if there would be any interest in a monthly London meet for FOSS folk. I go to 3 monthly London science-fiction meets, one that's been running since 1946, and 2 monthly sceptical meets, one that's 11 or 12 years old now, so there are a few such functions that are already working well... I'm sure that would work. Monthly is definitely manageable as it's just a case of finding a suitable pub 12 times a year. I've been helping to run a group that does weekly meets around London in a similar setting so I can fish out a list of likely watering holes. Thursdays are good to do such a thing as it's close to the weekend while not being the weekend quite yet. Now in terms of practicality, here are a few things we could do to make it easier: vary the location so that a majority of people can make it at some point; make sure that for each meet, at least 2 people commit to be there from the start (say 7pm): there's nothing worse than being on your own in a pub wondering whether you're too early and nobody's arrived yet or you're too late and everybody's gone home already; mention the 2 people above on the meet's details, possibly with a link to their wiki pages so that people have an idea what they look like (assuming they've got a photograph). So if anybody's interested, I'm happy to organise the next London one either end of October or November. Sounds like a plan is forming! I'd suggest /not/ the First Thursday, as that's the Tun AKA the London Circle, the one that's been running since 1946. (If you read Arthur C Clarke's /Tales of the White Hart/ you get a pretty good clue as to what one of the early pubs was called...) (There's also a techie meet in the City which I sometimes go to on the First Thursday, but which is Top Secret so I will say no more. Those who know, know.) October will see the Ubuntu Oneiric release party, at Cask again, so that is sort of already covered. But from November? I'd suggest someone brings along a large, conspicuous Tux penguin as a recognition symbol: you're after the bunch of people with a large penguin on their table! :¬) ) As for where, well, it depends how big it grows, but Cask is pretty good. Free wifi, too. Others I like with decent beer and a fair amount of room: The Craft Beer Company, Leather Lane (same owners as Cask) The Penderel's Oak, Holborn (former Skeptics in the Pub London Perlmongers venue) Upstairs at The Old King's Head, London Bridge (former Skeptics in the Pub venue) The Cittie of Yorke, Holborn But I reckon picking one and sticking to it until it gets known is not a bad idea to start with. -- Liam Proven • Info profile: http://www.google.com/profiles/lproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AIM/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
