The release parties and the Brisbane demo day worked fairly well 10:18:48 <jea> I think it would be good to create a 'template' for running such an event, so it is easier for people to do 10:19:30 <sagaci> yes, perhaps. 10:19:44 <sagaci> though this cycle I'm unable to hold a release party 10:20:00 <jea> Will you be at UDS then? 10:20:02 <sagaci> and I'm under the impression that head_victim can't do a brisbane one either 10:20:13 <jea> Yes, that does seem likely 10:20:40 <sagaci> no, it's just that I'm not in Sydney around the release date 10:21:01 <jea> right. I can understand that 10:22:25 <sagaci> I just don't think the demand is there for it 10:22:55 <jea> #topic Quantal Release Parties 10:23:00 <jea> I agree 10:23:19 <jea> We have just had a LTS, which had a lot of publicity 10:23:39 <jea> so I don't think 12.10 will be as sought after 10:24:19 <jea> If anyone would like to hold a release party in their area, please send an email to the Mailing List 10:25:40 <jea> There are people available to offer assistance with planning and running it, but is very simple to do 10:26:04 <sagaci> still, it's a long time until the next LTS to wait for release parties 10:26:17 <jea> definitely 10:26:40 <jea> I think demand will not be there for this release, but next April will have more interest 10:28:06 <jea> maybe we should move on to the next topic 10:28:16 <jea> #topic Customisation 10:28:45 <jea> It was brought up on the mailing list that it is possible to customise the Ubuntu installer slideshow 10:28:53 <jea> http://www.dylanmccall.com/blog/2012/09/05/installer-slideshow-customization/ 10:28:59 <sagaci> A slide for the loco and a get involved pitch would work 10:29:18 <jea> I think it is worth doing, as long as we can easily make the new images 10:30:12 <jea> by images, I mean the ISO files 10:31:46 <jea> Maybe this could be done at the same time as finally making a customised version for Australia 10:32:01 <jea> We have started the customisation a couple of times, but never finished 10:33:18 <jea> Could we have a couple of meetings online to get the customisation done? 10:35:42 <md_5> meeting 10:35:52 <jea> md_5: welcome to the meeting 10:36:08 <md_5> bit late this time, #ubuntu-au stopped being on xchat hilight 10:36:15 <jea> that is alright 10:36:21 <jea> there are not many people here tonight 10:37:33 <jea> md_5: do you have any thoughts on customisation? 10:40:06 <md_5> seems nice, the ubuntu team should really allow each loco to put in one slide 10:40:15 <md_5> (that will be selected based on locale) 10:40:37 <jea> I guess we could propose that to the responsible people 10:42:27 <jea> So at this stage, we like the idea, but more discussion and work is needed to get the customisation done 10:43:18 <jea> I will try to look in to this more, and reply to the mailing list thread 10:45:28 <jea> Does anyone have anything to add to the meeting tonight? 10:45:58 * md_5 pokes sagaci 10:48:35 <jea> I guess not then 10:48:53 <sagaci> nah not really 10:48:57 <jea> Well, we may as well close the meeting. More promotion will be done for the next one 10:49:06 <md_5> yeah 10:49:20 <jea> Next meeting will be on October 14 10:49:28 <md_5> just before relase 10:49:30 <md_5> release 10:49:30 <jea> When does daylight saving start? 10:49:45 <md_5> uh 10:49:49 <md_5> 7th oct 10:50:07 <jea> ok. We may need to change the time of the next meeting 10:51:32 <jea> I will check with head_victim and let everyone know 10:51:43 <jea> Thanks sagaci and md_5 for attending 10:51:46 <jea> #endmeeting
