<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Jeffrey,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the late reply. Don't worry about not being available
for the meeting. Unfortunately, I have not had as much time as I
had hoped to complete the re-approval application but I have
finished it as best I can. Keith gave some excellent feedback and
I have incorporated that into the application where I could.
Thanks again Keith for the effort you put into this application.<br>
<br>
again, our application is located at:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamReApprovalApplication2013">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam/IrishTeamReApprovalApplication2013</a><br>
<br>
I'm wrecked now and won't get to look at this again before
tomorrow evenings LoCo Council meeting. I would appreciate it if
people could read over the application and check the links
therein. If I've made mistakes or left stuff out feel free to
correct or add as necessary.<br>
<br>
Finally I would ask that as many members as possible would hop
into the #ubuntu-meeting channel on irc.freenode.net tomorrow
evening (Tuesday 16 Jul 13 at 9pm Irish time). Our application
will be third up for consideration. If you can join the channel
please voice your support for our Team when we are up.<br>
<br>
Rory,<br>
<br>
I do hope you can make the meeting to represent the Irish Team!<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards to all and fingers crossed,<br>
<br>
Mike<br>

Maybe reiterate conference work, or just move it to that

I am sure the community in general is active across

mention more broadly our ongoing active participation

Its an exciting time for Ubuntu, just before the
roll-out of the Ubuntu Touch for phones and tablets
which should give Ubuntu a global bump and certainly
send some looking for a local Ubuntu community. Might be
some fresh faces who have never even looked at the
desktop flavours, so we should be ready to embrace those
when they come along and be sure they can find us. </font></div>

REGULAR meetings. 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>

<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>

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>
