Good afternoon everyone. For your information here are the minutes from the recent UKTeam ( now formally approved ) held on the evening of 19th December 2006. It was chaired , in my absence , by Seeker` ( Chris ) and a complete log of the conversation is avialable on line at : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/MeetingNotes/20061219Meeting .
The minutes are as follows. Screencast project (part 1) It was decided that the UKTeam should continue producing Screencasts, and that an attempt should be made to distribute them to the wider community. It was agreed that NikButler should liase with the LoCo Team to determine whether there are currently any efforts in any other LoCos to provide Screencasts in different languages. Charities NikButler was not present to update us on the status of the action agreed on at the last meeting. There was some discussion about which charities should be chosen, with several suggestions including NSPCC, BIBIC, the EFF and the FSF. It was also suggested that we should focus on open source based charities. It was decided that the type of charity, and specific choices, should be discussed further on the mailing lists or wiki The Role of Ubuntu-uk.org It was decided that the Ubuntu-uk.org site should contain finalised and polished copies of wiki articles (i.e. a snapshot of the wiki page) to try and give a more professional appearance. A process for adding pages to Ubuntu-uk.org needs to be defined at a later date. How we got involved in FOSS Members should try to include a section on how they got involved in the FOSS community on their wiki page. A new wiki page should be created that contains links to the relevant section in each members wiki to provide newcomers with an idea of what paths are open to them. Screencast project (part 2) After AlanPope joined the meeting it was decided to revisit the topic of Screencasts. The consensus was that more people should be involved with creating screencasts, but people did not know how. AlanPope volunteered to write a HOWTO and make a screencast of "How to make a screencast". MatthewEast suggested that the screencasts should somehow be linked to the Ubuntu documentation project (see timestamp [23:22:01] in the IRC log), and volunteered to speak to the relevant groups to see how this could be done. Ubuntu-uk pastebin The idea to set up an ubuntu-uk pastebin was rejected on the grounds that it would probably not get enough use to make it worth it. MatthewEast will chase up information about a possible Ubuntu-wide pastebin. EDM179 It was agreed that we should discuss how to follow up a request to sign this EDM at the next TeamUK meeting. Mentoring Due to a lack of time, the possibility of setting up a mentoring scheme will be added to the agenda for the next meeting The meeting concluded with the agreement that the next meeting would be held on 9th January 2007 at 2130 GMT. Again Id like to say thank you to everyone who turned up and continue to be involved in the activities of the UKTeam.
