Day o’Meetings

by | Tue 18 Oct 2011

Today two important meetings took place in the venerable `#ubuntu-meeting` IRC channel that I wanted to point out.

* Firstly, the first meeting of the newly elected *Community Council* took place. You can [see the log here](https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/10/18/%23ubuntu-meeting.html#t11:00) for the meeting.
* Secondly, my team held our first *Canonical Community Team* meeting on IRC too. We spun through a series of round-tables of what we have been working on over the previous week. It was mainly our team doing to speaking, but as time goes on I suspect other folks will feel comfortable chipping in and participating too. You can [read the log here](https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/10/18/%23ubuntu-meeting.html#t15:00).

As ever you can see the full schedule of community meetings on [the Fridge Calendar](https://fridge.ubuntu.com/calendars/).
