Thanks to all who attended, it was a good place to be :). Daubers /
Matthew Daubney managed to get a snap or two of some of us (my picture
isn't the best, I saw it on the train with Daubers ;-) ). It was nice to
be able to put a face to all those IRC names that I know so well and
even one who hasn't been on IRC before but is subscribed to this very list!

Thanks again all for attending and perhaps when some of us gain more
knowledge in launchpad, we can host a bugjam... (pause for dramatic effect.)

If there is a leader it would be Chris since he's our current PoC (until we
vote). We'll be wearing shirts with Ubuntu Guru printed on. Also I'll be
wearing an Ubuntu lanyard so you can barely miss me. Not sure about a banner
as of yet, I've done a few designs but we might not bother with one. It's my
first Linux party too but expect fun!

   Hallo all..
   I saw this on your site and would love to go but I have a full family
 (wife,
   and 2 small children) and therefore can not hang around indefinite and
   therefore would like to ask what is the starting time for the *Morning
   session* (25th April 2009 - Welsh Party - Starbucks, Cardiff CF10 2BJ
 until
   7pm), I can see it ends at 19:00 when it moves over to the bar.
  
   Just to let you know I have to do almost 80 Miles to get to this party
 and
   this is just one more reason for me to know the start time...
  
   thanx
  
 
  I'm not entirely sure what time the first people will be arriving, I'm
  beginning to ask in IRC to see what times people are going. You can come
  yourself and get to see people before you meet up with us, there is info
  available on how to join here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WelshTeam/IRC . I
  personally will have work on Saturday and depending on how I manage my
  time I'll hopefully make it just we start or even halfway through if
  possible! When this was all planned, I was jobless but now I may be
  delayed due to this issue.
 
  I really cannot put a time on when it starts but if you come over into
  IRC you can see when people are going there or even see if people reply
  through the list itself regarding times available. Off-topic however you
  have an interesting surname, is it of South African lineage and from
  which part of Wales or England are you traveling from?
 ___

 OK thanx
 The company has a strenuous firewall/proxy so am not sure I can hit
 IRC but will try. Can do Win MSN Messenger BUT i can not get Pidgin to
 get through for MSN messenger, I got Linux Skype through though...

 So I gather that people will pitch as and when but I guess someone
 must be the leader or organizer of this whole StarBux party and how
 would I know when I pitch where to look for the party, will there be a
 banner up inside the StarBux or people with Ubuntu Tshirts... This
 will be my first Linux party so I do not know what to expect..

 My surname started in various places in the world, Scotland, Germany,
 Holland, etc... My ancestors came from Holland, I have been all over
 UK but originally came from South Africa, Pretoria(+- 30',30' south) 6
 years ago and currently live in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

 Thanx

I'll check when I am in work tonight when is the earliest time that I
can arrive in Cardiff from Neath when I see the rota in work. (Working
weekends and evenings really suits me since I am nocturnal, you know the
sort who is up 'til 4am compiling his GNOME desktop environment, yep
that's me.) If it is at all possible for me to be there when the first
start to arrive I'll help take charge otherwise I will find someone in
IRC tonight who can take over until the rest of us can get there! I'll
try and get some others to respond on here too so you can see how many
will be arriving at what time and the likely turnout, most of the users
either aren't on this mailing list or don't often respond unfortunately.

If you're not firewalled, you can utilise Pidgin to connect to IRC as
per our little guide on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WelshTeam/IRC .
It is a nice little handy protocol when you get acquainted with it and
use a specialised client such as XChat or irssi in place of Pidgin
(despite what I just said about Pidgin being able to connect).

 So I gather that people will pitch as and when but I guess someone
 must be the leader or organizer of this whole StarBux party and how
 would I know when I pitch where to look for the party, will there be a
 banner up inside the StarBux or people with Ubuntu Tshirts... This
 will be my first Linux party so I do not know what to expect..

There will be so many different kinds of Ubuntu t-shirts being worn
it'll be unbelievable (I'm only joking ;-) ). You're however bound to
see a few wearing some sort of Linuxy clothing, either hats (I wanted to
get an Ubuntu hat) or t-shirts but that isn't to say that's all that is
stocked in our wardrobes!

 My surname started in various places in the world, Scotland, Germany,
 Holland, etc... My ancestors came from Holland, I have been all over

Ah that's very interesting, I've never came across a surname similar to
yours before hence why I asked. I am one of those people who gets
interested by far too much and heritage is one of those things.


I hope this has helped,
Christopher Swift.
