Summary of Fortnightly Meeting - June 27th 2006

[Melissa Draper]

Greetings,

At last night's fortnightly meeting in #ubuntu-au on freenode, that 
meeting summaries should be emailed to the mailing list. It was decided 
that this should be the responsibility of the person who chaired the 
meeting.

The agenda for this fortnights meeting was as follows:

    *

      Ops in #ubuntu-au

          o

            Theres only 2 ops in #ubuntu-au, and they are often/always
            away. It would be nice to have others. 

    *

      Digital rights in Australia

          o

            Following the talk given by Rusty Russell, I felt we should
            discuss a formal statement/ some sort of co operation about
            signing the partition, and trying to make some sort of impact

    *

      Notice of IRC meetings to the list

          o

            Please?

    *

      Australian Translation Team

          o

            [WWW] Ubuntu English (Australia) Translators
            <https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-l10n-en-au> team has
            been created in launchpad. Should this team be a member of
            ubuntu-au?


The meeting was a productive one and a number of actions came from it.

    *

      New Channel Operators for #ubuntu-au

          o

            The topic of the Ops shortage was discussed. Nominations
            were taken and voted upon by the attending members.
            Consequently Kamping_Kaiser, siccness and elkbuntu have all
            been made channel operators by YukiCuss.

    *

      Digital Rights Petition

          o

            Reminder has been given for the Digital Rights Petition.
            Please get signatures from your School/TAFE/University,
            Workplace, LUG, or camp out at a shopping center and collect
            as many signatures as possible. See [WWW]
            http://linux.org.au/law for more information.

    * Notice of IRC meetings to the list
          o It has been decided that each fortnight, the person who
            chairs the meeting will (within 24 hours) email a summary of
            the meeting to the mailing list. This person will also be
            responsible for sending a reminder to the list roughly 2
            days prior to the next meeting (the Sunday before).
            Hopefully this will remind people of it's occurrance and may
            result in more people attending.

      Translation Team

          o

            There seemed to be confusion between the members of this
            group as to whether they should be part of the australian
            team. They will get back to us again if they come to the
            decision that they do in fact want this.

    *

      APC (Australian Personal Computer) Magazine Contacted

          o

            As per the decision at the June 13th meeting, Ben Duivesteyn
            (Xice) contacted APC. He received a response that seemed
            promising.

          o

            Discussion at this fortnight's meeting (June 27th) it has
            been suggested that professional courtesy is extended to
            companies willing to provide support for commercial users of
            Ubuntu. More details will follow.


There are currently 3 items on the agenda for the meeting on the 11th 
July, 2006.

    *

      APC (Australian Personal Computer) Magazine Contacted

          o

            Follow-up on progress with this contact.

    *

      Translation Team

          o There seemed to be confusion between the members of this
            group as to whether they should be part of the australian
            team. They will get back to us again if they come to the
            decision that they do in fact want this.

      Meeting time

          o

            It has come to light that the current meeting time does not
            suit alot of people. I (Melissa Draper) will make a note to
            the mailing list about this and take a poll of the times
            people "can" attend

Please visit the wiki <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Meetings> 
and add any additional agenda items you believe need covering.

Lastly, we look forward to seeing as many people as possible at the next 
meeting which will be held on July 11th at 20:00 Sydney Time (19:30 
Adelaide Time and 18:00 Perth Time).
