Short and sweet...and strong... like an espresso with sugar.

We managed to have our monthly IRC meeting on 16 Aug 2010. Thanks to all that made it and gave their input. Those who missed the event, fear not, we will be having another one on Monday, 20 Sept at 19:00 in #ubuntu-za. (if nothing changes but we will tell you if it does).

In anticipation of Maverick Meerkat, we will have a Global Jam at the Shuttleworth Lab on Sunday 29 Aug, 14:00 - 18:00.

If you don't know where it is or need info, there is an entry for the event at the loco.ubuntu.com site.

I am sure most of you know where the monthly reports go, but just in case you didn't here's what we did in July. If you are interested in what happened elsewhere, scroll around. 

Every two years, Ubuntu LoCo's need to be re-approved by the LoCo Council, and this year was Ubuntu-ZA's turn again. LoCo's have to show that they are active, have a history of activity, and a roadmap of future activities, amongst other things, in order to be re-approved.

Ubuntu-za is up for re-approval as listed on the agenda of the LoCo Council for Tuesday, 3 August 2010 at 21:00 SAST. The meeting will be held in #ubuntu-meeting on IRC (freenode.net).

Just a big shout out to our 3rd Ubuntu-za member Stefano aka tumbleweed on becoming MOTU.

Congratulations

After a long unintentional break (blame it on the soccer?) we had a Bumper Ubuntu-za meeting in IRC.

You can read the agenda. You can view the minutes. 

We don't seem to have had an Ubuntu-ZA team meeting yet this year, let's fix that.

Reminder: Our team meetings are open to anyone on this list, or who uses Ubuntu and considers themselves to be South African.  Please come and join us if you can make it. Especially if you live somewhere besides Cape Town and Stellenbosch (which seem to dominate our IRC channel).

Just a quick note that I requested that Ubuntu-ZA get added to Launchpad's open ID list to also include peoples default emails during login requests.

How does this affect you?

If you already have an account on ubuntu-za it doesn't. How ever if you are wanting to sign up you can use your LP openid login and you wont have to go through the proccess of manually adding your email address.
