Even if it is just a standing monthly IRC meeting (is there a quorum requirement? If so call it a hangout if we fall short). If nothing else, will allow lurkers to see what's going on and let a few of us keep a finger on the pulse. To broaden our reach the monthly meeting could be held simultaneously with a Google Hangout, much like the new VUDS model. I should add that we can always schedule 'off months' over December and January.</font></div>

Hi All, <br>
<br>
While our LoCo activity remains low there are still a few warm
cinders in the fire and there is certainly a iot of good will being
expressed towards remaining approved. Based on this I think it is
worthwhile for us to see reapproval. Of course there is significant
discussion within the larger community around the term 'approved'
and the outcome of those discussions isn't clear but for now the
standard reapproval process still applies and because of that I have
thrown together a draft of our wiki reapproval application for 2013
.<br>
<br>
Our approved status is due to expire at the end of June and we hope
to apply for reapproval at the next LoCo Council meeting which is
scheduled to be held in the #ubuntu-meeting channel on the freenode
irc network on 16 Jul 13 at 20:00 UTC (21:00 Irish time if I am
right).<br>
<br>
Our application can be found at:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamReApprovalApplication2013" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamReApprovalApplication2013</a><br>
<br>
A text formatting issues exists at the top of the page (clearly
visible) any help fixing that would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Other sections are yet to be started:<br>
<br>
'Global Ubuntu Participation'<br>
<br>
And<br>
<br>
'Focusing on the Future'<br>
<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate as many proofreaders, format fixers and content
contributors as possible for this application. I want to honestly
throw our cards down and see where they fall. We are at a low ebb
and I want to see if the LoCo Council still feel we are worthy of
maintaining an approved status.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
<br>
Mike O'Donohue.<br>
