Alan - HLUG will be happy to take some cd's - we have some left from our
last Open Source event - they are mainly 10.04 and 10.10 we have no
11.04
so it would be good to have a few more for our software freedom day
event in september - 
I can arrange pick-up or post as needed

The Student Unions around here will go for 'beer and Ubuntu.'They are
running a serious business with highly liquid cash-flows. Maybe also
consider other reward schemes ?

Looking for a venue in Darlington to hold Ubuntu 'Get-Together.' Then
will also set two more up in other localities, in August / September
time. Need to check whether Uni's are willing to allow non-students to
attend events.

I have about 20 CD's. However these are like gold at the moment. Need to
distribute them to people who know how to use them. And are more
seriously interested.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] meeting minutes and facebook page

2011-06-29 Thread Jacob Mansfield
my sincerest apologies about not attending last night's meeting.
unfortunately my power supply failed, and I had to wait for a new one to be
ordered and delivered by snail-mail. A big thanks to alan for stepping into
my place.

[ubuntu-uk] meeting minutes and facebook page

2011-06-29 Thread Alan Bell

Hi all,
minutes from the meeting last night are in the traditional place at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/LastMeeting

Main topics for discussion were
 * CD Distribution
we have CDs, we need to get them out there, if you have contacts at 
Universities then it would be great to get a load out to students, 
particularly if we can organise installfests.


 * LoCo reapproval application

we need to go through this process during the Oneiric cycle
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/TeamApprovalGuidelines
our application form is at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ReApprovalApplication2011
and we have a scratchpad for notes on things we have done as we draft 
the reapproval application form

///http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/reapproval
/Please add notes, descriptions, and links to articles/pictures of 
things we have done to promote Ubuntu in the UK over the last few years.


 * Books and Butties
the trip to the british library is coming on, we have a LoCo directory 
entry here to sign up to

http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/1032/detail/
and we have a corresponding facebook event created
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=156528094418552

creating the facebook event lead to a discussion about facebook pages 
and whether we should  have one, general consensus was "maybe" so I 
created one to see how it goes.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ubuntu-UK/237328659623076

If we get a few more people who "like" that page then we can get a 
vanity url for it, which is quite the thing to have apparently. It will 
pick up new articles from the ubuntu-uk.org website, which in turn means 
we should really be putting more stuff up there.


Alan.
