Group Members lets go

I sent this to Bonzodog:

Thanks for the vote of support (only joking), but I don't see what that'll achieve. If its more co-ordination, fair enough - just do it! We can write plans on the wiki all day and I have tried with grand plans to kick-start things before, but process is slow. I am in the middle of something at moment, so I can't devote very much time to UBIE, but I will July/August/September time. I also tried and failed to schedule a meeting, which one person proposed things to talk about, it was cancelled due to no one turning up! I am trying to get our website (a blog and wiki perhaps) which will be open ended contributory wise and not too dependent on one person, but again this is slow, Matthew Nuzum (I think that is the correct spelling) seems very busy and routed my question through Launchpad twice, then said we weren't an established LoCo team and to put a page on the wiki (whereas we have had a page since 2005!).

So if you want more organisation and involvement thats fine, do it through launchpad and the forum. Efforts have been made, and an election is almost certainly premature since we have no formal structure whatsoever. I was the first person to start the Loco team, get the forums, write the goals on wiki, get us our IRC room etc. and as such I was the default leader, but its really only a title.

Hi Duey,

Thanks for the input. Yea a commitee is possibly premature at the moment. So to share the reponsibility is much better. Is their any chance that you know an admistrator here on the forums? Is it possible to have a mass email sent to all Irish members about an IRC meeting?

Sorry not that I know of thorugh the forums, I just looked on Launchpad and I cannot find this functionality either.

Try poofyhairguy, ubuntu_demo regarding the forums, they are the head honchos I believe

Hey lads would love to get involved too.

Just a thought ....

Why don't we try and make presentations to some political parties ? Try and get in a "software patents are bad" before making a case for changing government IT infrastructures over to Linux/Open Source ?

**AudioMove** · May 22nd, 2007

Hey Clash, yea rather than many sources annoy the government, a well taught out process through one source could do the trick.

I think alot of people have ideas for Ubuntu-ie and can be shared across the board of members invloved (interested).

Thank for the usernames Duey I'll try get in touch.

Shouldn't the Irish Ubuntu Community have a proper website with all basic info, especially for new users?

something like these:

http://www.ubuntu-fr.org/
http://www.ubuntu-es.org/
http://ubuntu.pl/
http://www.ubuntubrasil.org/
etc.

I don't think https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrishTeam looks too good.

Another idea would be to have the website not only in English but also in Gaelic.

I think we should look more professional on the web
