Maaz: topic 7. Last-minute ideas (if any)

great interjection there :-)
/me googles the meaning

Maaz: topic 8. Elect chairperson for next meeting

At the end of each meeting we make sure to elect the chairperson for our next meeting to make sure that we keep the ball rolling and so the chair can prepare himself with a bit of certainty ahead of him.
While the current chair is willing to do it again it we're always keen to have others attempt it so we have multiple people available to sit in the hot chair in case someone is not available
anyone willing to volunteer his / her services?
+1

Maaz: topic 9. Closing
please note that we have a few big guns around in this channel
stick  around and you'll get to know them soon
don't be afraid to ask stupid questions
while  they might not always answer your questions immediately they are generally very approachable and always willing to help even if they have  a very busy schedule

A big thank you to everyone for attending the meeting tonight
please remember our next meeting in a months time
same place on Monday 20 August 2012
at the same time you are welcome to stick around in the channel at all times
that is how you get to know the people and get to learn how Ubuntu operates
