May IRC Meeting Reloaded?

[Mike O'Donohue]

Hi Carles,

Thanks for the great mail. 091 labs will get a batch of CDs, we just 
need to figure out how to get them down or have them picked up.

Hope the exams go/are going well for you.  Just to throw some light on 
some of your other points.

You are right, this mailing list is quiet but it is available to 
everyone to use.  People are free to raise topics of interest on the 
mailing list, ask questions or even vent (constructively).  
Unfortunately, people choose not to for the most part.

It would be great if you and others did participate more in the irc 
meetings.  The more opinions and ideas that get expressed at the 
meetings the better those meetings will be and, as a consequence, the 
more vibrant our LoCo will become.  People can participate as much or as 
little as they want.

The meeting logs including the minutes can be found on the Ubuntu wiki.  
Specifically the minutes and logs are imported into wiki pages that are 
indexed at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IRCMeetings

I believe the logs are also automagically linked to the corresponding 
meeting event listing on our LoCo Team portal (Home page at: 
http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ie)
Note: our website currently redirects to our LoCo Team Portal page.

I used to post monthly reminders about meetings. Further back I used to 
report the links to the minutes/logs on the mailing list but I got the 
feeling that no one was interested so I stopped.

I'm all for getting people to interact more so any suggestions would be 
greatly appreciated.

While I'm at it, full details of the Ubuntu Ireland online resources are 
as follows

Website: ubuntu-ie.org (under redevelopment) currently redirect to LoCo 
Team Portal (LTP)
LTP: loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ie
Wiki: wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/
Mailing list: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ie
IRC Channel: #ubuntu-ie on the FreeNode network
Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=195 (even quieter 
than mailing list)
Twitter/identica username: @ubuntuie
Facebook: Ubuntu-ie
Google plus: Ubuntu Ireland
Pix.ie: ubuntuie (team event photos are stored here)

I think that's it

Best Regards,

Mike
