49 Aug 21 22:14:27 <bckurera> noted 1 AI
50 Aug 21 22:14:28 <BLUG_Fred> the idea of the announcement is to provide help and directions to team
51 Aug 21 22:14:46 <BLUG_Fred> so i am trying to keep that one short but... we have all this to talk about:

58 Aug 21 22:16:40 <BLUG_Fred> work on translating the website and multi-lingual planets
59 Aug 21 22:16:58 <BLUG_Fred> mailing list subscription recommendation + languages availability
60 Aug 21 22:17:13 <BLUG_Fred> that's 8 topics
61 Aug 21 22:17:24 <BLUG_Fred> i wrote about half already
62 Aug 21 22:17:49 <BLUG_Fred> and i plan to send to announce, sfd-discuss and all emails registered on the wiki (that's about 1000 addresses)
63 Aug 21 22:17:59 <bckurera> moving fast :)
64 Aug 21 22:18:07 <BLUG_Fred> does anyone see anything else to add?
65 Aug 21 22:18:13 <BLUG_Fred> (while keepting it short ;-) )
66 Aug 21 22:18:32 <bckurera> any info about ubuntu CDs
67 Aug 21 22:18:37 <BLUG_Fred> i will also make a blog post about it
68 Aug 21 22:18:40 <bckurera> or when they arrive?
69 Aug 21 22:18:44 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: this is unrelated
70 Aug 21 22:18:54 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: be patient... learn to wait
71 Aug 21 22:19:14 <bckurera> need to plan that is why asked
72 Aug 21 22:19:18 <bckurera> wanyway it is ok :)
73 Aug 21 22:19:23 <bckurera> i ll wait
74 Aug 21 22:19:34 <BLUG_Fred> we have an open discussion topic eventually
75 Aug 21 22:21:52 <BLUG_Fred> so i suppose nothing else to add to the announcement?
76 Aug 21 22:22:07 <BLUG_Fred> next topic
77 Aug 21 22:22:08 <BLUG_Fred> Creating a series of 'event templates' which team leaders can use as a guide to make their own events, as well as build/upload slides easily reusable.
78 Aug 21 22:22:22 <BLUG_Fred> funnily we had a request today on sfd-discuss
79 Aug 21 22:22:43 <BLUG_Fred> so i have at least one presentation for keynote "why software freedom matters"
80 Aug 21 22:22:58 <BLUG_Fred> i'm reviewing it with the FSF and FSFE
81 Aug 21 22:23:09 <BLUG_Fred> i got Richard's comment back, not much extra stuff
82 Aug 21 22:23:27 <BLUG_Fred> it would have been nice to be more to discuss this
83 Aug 21 22:23:41 <BLUG_Fred> i think we should move the discussion to the mailing list to get something done
84 Aug 21 22:23:54 <Pockey> great
85 Aug 21 22:23:59 <BLUG_Fred> AI to Fred: start the discussion about this topic on marketing list

87 Aug 21 22:24:29 <BLUG_Fred> bckurera: so no we don't have any news about the CDs, but we are 4 weeks away from the day
88 Aug 21 22:24:41 <BLUG_Fred> Canonical uses TNT that's all I know
89 Aug 21 22:24:53 <BLUG_Fred> in previous year I usually notice the CD arriving very fast
90 Aug 21 22:25:01 <BLUG_Fred> starting to arrive very fast
91 Aug 21 22:25:15 <BLUG_Fred> it seems slightly slower this year

93 Aug 21 22:26:10 <bckurera> add 2 AIs :)
