[17:35:59] <kbmonkey> I went through and summarized our minutes
[17:36:19] <kbmonkey> Looking for people to email feedback about the Global Jam
[17:36:37] <maiatoday> did we have one?
[17:36:40] <kbmonkey> So we can put it up on our wiki, include it in th emonthly report

[17:37:36] <kbmonkey> did anybody here do any Global Jamming?
[17:37:47] <nuvolari> nope :-/
[17:37:49] * kbmonkey did not. shuffles feet
[17:38:14] * maiatoday did not, stares at the ceiling
[17:38:16] <magespawn> No
[17:38:18] <superfly> kbmonkey: no, tumbleweed was talking about it, but he didn't have the time to actually organise anything, afaik
[17:38:29] <superfly> iirc
[17:38:48] <kbmonkey> sjoe, okay. Next item :]
[17:39:07] <nuvolari> maybe we should apply for DST in ZA. an extra hour now and then can come in handy
[17:39:23] <magespawn> I think everyone has been fairly busy
[17:39:30] <kbmonkey> Indeed!
[17:39:36] <magespawn> DST?
[17:39:50] <nuvolari> magespawn: daylight savings time
[17:39:53] <kbmonkey> nah, I'd prefer using standard universal swatch time
[17:39:58] <nuvolari> I don't know if they loose or win time
[17:40:00] <magespawn> Duh. Lol
[17:40:05] <kbmonkey> Ubuntu Experience: Send in your stories!
[17:40:38] <kbmonkey> A reminder, for all and new friends, to email in your Ubuntu experience stories to the mailing list
[17:41:00] <magespawn> Anything specific?
[17:41:20] <kbmonkey> Trying to build awareness, so your stories count, even more than experienced users
[17:41:54] <maiatoday> I have a one-liner: "android dev is WAY quicker and more stable on ubuntu"
[17:42:06] <kbmonkey> Nothing specifc magespawn, more like if you want to share :)
[17:42:07] <nuvolari> ++ maiatoday 
[17:42:28] <kbmonkey> oh really maiatoday? now that I have a droid, I'd love to develop for it
[17:42:49] <nuvolari> whoot! you got one kbmonkey ?
[17:42:51] <kbmonkey> And last on our previous minutes: Ordering Ubuntu CD's.
[17:42:52] <nuvolari> what did you get?
[17:43:00] <maiatoday> I'll take that action
[17:43:07] <kbmonkey> You got this covered maiatoday, you said in the email
[17:43:13] <kbmonkey> :D thank you
[17:43:22] <maiatoday> I spoke to drubin about the CDS and we'll sort it between the two of us
[17:43:23] <kbmonkey> about 2 weeks ago nuvolari 
[17:43:24] <magespawn> Perhaps another learning channel for that, kbmonkey?
[17:43:38] <queery1985> we need 64 bit versions
[17:43:42] <nuvolari> meh. I still have some CD's left. but they're old. I'm not going to acquire CD's this time
[17:44:00] <maiatoday> queery1985: I agree re 64bit but I don't know if they ship those
[17:44:10] <magespawn> I can down load the ISO if people need them.
[17:44:14] <kbmonkey> I got all my CD's out by shifting them into botiques and shops of friends

[18:01:07] <kbmonkey> no we do not need to have the CD's for a release party
[18:01:10] <maiatoday> Tonberry should we postpone to the weekend after the long weekend?
[18:01:17] <queery1985> and don't have the resources to get them all
[18:01:30] <Tonberry> yes
[18:01:36] <magespawn> Do the cd have to be canonical ones? Damn that wa hard to get out.
