| futz48 | wow! pretty interesting meeting... | 10:07 |
| lophyte | indeed | 10:07 |
| futz48 | don't all talk at once | 10:07 |
| despot32 | yeah that could be hard to follow | 10:08 |
| lophyte | I'm waiting for more people to show up before beginning | 10:08 |
| futz48 | k | 10:08 |
| lophyte | most importantly the ubuntu canada leader | 10:08 |
| futz48 | I'm new to this group thing - what is the purpose of local groups? | 10:09 |
| despot32 | to group locally | 10:09 |
| futz48 | or whatever they're called | 10:09 |
| lophyte | local community teams more or less serve the purpose of local advocacy and support | 10:09 |
| futz48 | clubs, like? | 10:09 |
| futz48 | oh, ok | 10:09 |
| lophyte | and in most countries they also work on localization/translations | 10:09 |
| lophyte | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams for more info :) | 10:10 |
| despot32 | i do not think i can join. i am not sufficiently loco :( | 10:10 |
| lophyte | lol | 10:10 |
| futz48 | so we should, like, translate, eh? ya hoser :-D | 10:10 |
| lophyte | haha | 10:10 |
| lophyte | "You reallywant to close Firefox, eh?" | 10:11 |
| lophyte | that'd be pretty funny | 10:11 |

| lophyte | my CPU load graph looks like a sine wave | 10:14 |
| despot32 | i don't look at my cpu load graph. that would use too much cpu | 10:14 |
| lophyte | lol | 10:14 |
| lophyte | okay, well I suppose we should start then | 10:15 |
| lophyte | doesn't look like anyone else is going to show up | 10:15 |
| lophyte | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings | 10:15 |
| lophyte | that's our agenda | 10:15 |
| lophyte | perhaps we should start by introducing ourselves.. all 4 of us | 10:17 |
| darkenergy | uh, I'm seeing 87 members ... | 10:17 |
| lophyte | okay, perhaps 5.. | 10:17 |

| lophyte | before we begin, does anyone have any questions about the meeting or the team? | 10:21 |
| despot32 | i do. where is the coffee | 10:21 |
| lophyte | haha | 10:22 |
| lophyte | I bet in your kitchen | 10:22 |
| futz48 | in the grinder hopper | 10:22 |
| despot32 | yeah it is, but it's like 2 days old. screw that | 10:22 |
| lophyte | lol | 10:22 |
| darkenergy | I've got tea. | 10:22 |
| === rraphink [n=raphink@ubuntu/member/raphink] has joined #ubuntu-meeting | ||
| lophyte | no questions from anyone? | 10:23 |
| despot32 | no legitimate questions | 10:23 |
| darkenergy | onward with the question about the Cdn site? | 10:23 |
| futz48 | yer gonna have to lead on | 10:23 |
| lophyte | sounds good | 10:23 |
| lophyte | Ubuntu Canada was recently approved by the Ubuntu Community Council as an *official* local community team | 10:24 |
| lophyte | as such, this gives us access to a few benefits | 10:24 |
| lophyte | one being that we get a shipment of 500 CDs for every release | 10:24 |
| lophyte | another being that we have access to Canonical web hosting | 10:24 |
| jamonation | shell access? | 10:24 |
| lophyte | I'm not sure what sort of access we have to it | 10:24 |
| lophyte | I just know that we can host our site on Canonical's servers | 10:25 |
| despot32 | how local exactly can communities get? | 10:25 |
| despot32 | cause i mean, Canada's quite the community | 10:25 |
| darkenergy | lol | 10:25 |
| despot32 | can we do Ubuntu Siberia next? | 10:25 |
| lophyte | its suggested that you have a LoCo for a country, and then subgroups of it | 10:26 |
| lophyte | so, there is an ubuntu-us with subgroups (such as ubuntu-chicago) of it | 10:26 |
| darkenergy | does the site need to be moved? is the current hosting a problem? | 10:26 |
| despot32 | oh, okay. that makes sense. | 10:26 |
| lophyte | its currently hosted on an old box in Burgundavia's basement | 10:26 |
| jamonation | makes distributing 500cds difficult... | 10:26 |
| darkenergy | ie. does it have limited bandwidth, transfer caps etc | 10:26 |
| darkenergy | ah | 10:26 |
| lophyte | Burgundavia being the leader of ubuntu canada ;) | 10:26 |
| lophyte | so it'd be preferable to move it to Canonical's servers | 10:27 |
| jamonation | so there is a question as to moving it? why wouldn't we? | 10:27 |
| jamonation | faster, more reliable | 10:27 |
| === ReK_`laptop` [i=ReK_@S0106001310e912a8.vn.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-meeting | ||
| darkenergy | righto | 10:27 |
| lophyte | no, that's not the question.. we are moving it | 10:27 |
| jamonation | good | 10:27 |
| lophyte | the question thats put forth to the Canadian community.. what would you like to see | 10:27 |
| ReK_`laptop` | hello all, sorry im late | 10:27 |
| lophyte | what would you like to see on ubuntu.ca/ubuntu-ca.org* | 10:27 |
| jamonation | the CMS is the question then | 10:27 |
| darkenergy | oh, lets figure out what before how | 10:28 |
| lophyte | yup.. Brian Burger, the current webmaster, wants to put a CMS on it so that community members can volunteer as editors and news posters | 10:28 |
| jamonation | well, looks like ubuntu australia is using drupal | 10:28 |
| lophyte | also suggested was a "Planet Ubuntu Canada," which is basically a news aggregator which pulls content from Canadian members' blogs | 10:28 |
| jamonation | waht are other LoCo teams using? planet aggregation? | 10:29 |
| despot32 | i like that idea. | 10:29 |
| darkenergy | and are their going to be subsections for locals groups? | 10:29 |
| lophyte | darkenergy: most likely... Brian mentioned having a ubuntu.ca/toronto for example | 10:29 |
| lophyte | or toronto.ubuntu.ca depending on what kind of access we get to DNS | 10:29 |
| jamonation | would that mean changes to mailman or is that hosted elsewhere? | 10:30 |
| despot32 | if you can get wildcard dns enabled you could just use a rewrite to map that | 10:30 |
| lophyte | jamonation: mailman is hosted by Canonical already | 10:30 |
| lophyte | lists.ubuntu.com | 10:30 |
| jamonation | it would be nice to have an archive of emails on the site, with comments enabled | 10:30 |
| darkenergy | probably just as easy to organize the subgroups in the CMS | 10:30 |
| jamonation | sorta like gmane, but integrated into whatever other CMS we use | 10:30 |
| lophyte | ReK_`laptop`: btw, welcome... our agenda is here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings | 10:31 |
| ReK_`laptop` | thanks | 10:31 |
| lophyte | jamonation: good idea | 10:31 |
| jamonation | are the 2 or 3 people that volunteered to help with the site present? | 10:31 |
| lophyte | kind of like a forum-style interface to the mailing list | 10:31 |
| jamonation | yeah | 10:31 |
| lophyte | I don't think so | 10:31 |
| ReK_`laptop` | im one of them | 10:32 |
| jamonation | i think drupal has a mailman module too ;) | 10:32 |
| lophyte | ah | 10:32 |
| === jamonation is a fanboi | ||
| lophyte | I know that when we launched ubuntutoronto.org on Drupal, Corey had issues with it.. we'll have to talk to him | 10:32 |
| ReK_ | but i cant start for another week or so, deadlines creeping up :( | 10:32 |
| darkenergy | what does Cory like? | 10:32 |
| jamonation | anything python? | 10:32 |
| lophyte | I'm not sure | 10:32 |
| jamonation | well, whatever we choose, I can help with the theming | 10:33 |
| lophyte | I'll be posting notes from the meeting on the wiki and the mailing list, so Corey can respond to these questions | 10:33 |
| lophyte | ReK_: no worries.. we still need to move it over to Canonical hosting first anyhow | 10:34 |
| ReK_ | what about phpbb? it has built-in groups, easily moddable and there are already cms mods out for it | 10:34 |
| despot32 | i liked phpbb when i used it on one of my sites | 10:34 |
| lophyte | the issue I see with phpbb is that it wouldn't integrate with the mailing list | 10:34 |
| ReK_ | how do we want it to intergrate? i might be able to work on that | 10:34 |
| darkenergy | and its got a history of security probs | 10:34 |
| lophyte | the majority of our discussion traffic is on the mailing list.. if we wanted to create a forum, it would ideally work with the list | 10:35 |
| jamonation | http://drupal.org/project/listhandler | 10:35 |
| lophyte | jamonation: checking.. | 10:35 |
| lophyte | Drupal fanboy ;) | 10:35 |
| jamonation | indeed | 10:35 |
| lophyte | jamonation: looks like what we need.. | 10:35 |
| darkenergy | so, I'm not personally convinced that drupal is the greatest choice if you want to get non-technical editors involved | 10:36 |
| jamonation | why not? | 10:36 |
| lophyte | drupal's content posting is quite intuitive | 10:36 |
| darkenergy | ok. /runs for exit | 10:36 |
| jamonation | there is also a wysiwyg javascript editor | 10:36 |
| jamonation | no no, it's a valid concern | 10:37 |
| lophyte | darkenergy: ubuntutoronto.org runs on Drupal, and Kim has posted on it many times | 10:37 |
| darkenergy | LOL | 10:37 |
| lophyte | its almost his personal blog ;) | 10:37 |
| ReK_ | about mailing list on phpbb: http://www.mail2forum.com | 10:37 |
| jamonation | how many of us have a personal blog or site? | 10:37 |
| lophyte | ReK_: checking... | 10:37 |
| ReK_ | already done, with 2 way comunication between the list and the forum | 10:37 |
| lophyte | I know as a fact that people have requested we set up a forum | 10:38 |
| jamonation | if most of us have a site already, aggregating into a planet would be best no? | 10:38 |
| ReK_ | yeah | 10:38 |
| lophyte | jamonation: yup.. but we also want ubuntu canada specific content as well, not just aggregated blogs | 10:38 |
| jamonation | right, so here again, drupal, bear with me: | 10:39 |
| jamonation | forum, integrated and installed in drupal by default | 10:39 |
| ReK_ | we could get the planet to only read blog posts with the ubunu-ca tag? | 10:39 |
| ReK_ | or ubuntu* might be better | 10:39 |
| darkenergy | if you're using venus its got good filters | 10:40 |
| jamonation | aggregation, module is included in core, allows the admin to choose whatever feed, in multiple formats | 10:40 |
| jamonation | content posting, done, mailing list integration, doable | 10:40 |
| lophyte | well, before we start arguing what CMS is going to be used, let's focus on what features we want | 10:40 |
| jamonation | I'll make a list on the wiki page? | 10:40 |
| ReK_ | so far im seeing news post, mailing list, basic forums and planet-style post aggregation | 10:41 |
| ReK_ | although the latter could be seperated out of the cms easily | 10:41 |
| jamonation | same goes for the forum | 10:41 |
| jamonation | though a single sign on auth mechanism is preferable | 10:42 |
| jamonation | what about wiki? just use the main ubuntu wiki? | 10:42 |
| ReK_ | if we can use the forum to make news posts by using user groups/hidden forums, it would be extremely simplistic for editors | 10:42 |
| lophyte | yup... | 10:43 |
| jamonation | hey one sec. lets take a step back... | 10:43 |
| lophyte | any and all wiki needs are met by the existing wiki | 10:43 |
| jamonation | what are we trying to do with the site? we have it, but why? what is it's purpose? | 10:43 |
| jamonation | if we start there, the CMS and feature will follow | 10:43 |
| lophyte | a community portal, I would say | 10:43 |
| ReK_ | news, a place to gather and talk | 10:43 |
| ReK_ | what he said, basically :P | 10:43 |
| lophyte | it would serve the news function it currently serves | 10:44 |
| jamonation | ok, so a portal to events, thoughts, howtos, mailing list? | 10:44 |
| lophyte | yup | 10:44 |
| jamonation | right | 10:44 |
| ReK_ | I could see other features n the future, like a downloads section, media gallery | 10:44 |
| lophyte | a photo gallery was also suggested | 10:44 |
| jamonation | photos/videos/podcasts? | 10:44 |
| lophyte | videos could be hosted on youtube or ubuntuvideo.com and linked to from ubuntu.ca | 10:45 |
| despot32 | yeah | 10:45 |
| despot32 | this sounds quite complicated | 10:45 |
| lophyte | how so? | 10:45 |
| ReK_ | if were going for a gallery, id suggest this: http://gallery.menalto.com/ | 10:45 |
| ReK_ | we use it for the dystopia pr gallery | 10:45 |
| despot32 | i mean, will people have use for all these features? sounds like a lot | 10:46 |
| darkenergy | I think you probably want to find out what Canonical will supply before selecting packages | 10:46 |
| lophyte | agreed | 10:46 |
| darkenergy | ditto | 10:46 |
| jamonation | i think they'll do whatever runs on the lamp stack | 10:46 |
| lophyte | despot32: news and forums isn't complicated | 10:46 |
| despot32 | no, not at all | 10:46 |
| lophyte | other features can be added later, if needed | 10:46 |
| despot32 | but videos? | 10:46 |
| jamonation | there's a gallery plugin for drupal :) | 10:46 |
| ReK_ | and everything else is gravy that you dopnt have to go to if you dont want | 10:46 |
| despot32 | i mean are we gonna make ubuntu films? | 10:46 |
| darkenergy | yeah, but you need community first. if you supply empty space it won't be all that inviting | 10:46 |
| lophyte | despot32: Ubuntu Toronto is planning to :) | 10:47 |
| lophyte | but | 10:47 |
| ReK_ | well, see, this is why i said i could see these features later | 10:47 |
| lophyte | let's get back to the point... | 10:47 |
| lophyte | we've got: | 10:47 |
| lophyte | 1) news | 10:47 |
| lophyte | 2) mailing list-integated forums | 10:47 |
| lophyte | 3) news aggregator | 10:47 |
| lophyte | I think this is a good place to start | 10:47 |
| despot32 | those 3 sound good | 10:47 |
| jamonation | yeah | 10:48 |
| despot32 | brb... | 10:48 |
| lophyte | anything further can be added later, if needed | 10:48 |
| jamonation | apart from mailing list, I think pretty much any CMS will suffice | 10:48 |
| lophyte | I agree | 10:48 |
| lophyte | I'd suggest Drupal as well | 10:48 |
| lophyte | we'll see what Brian and Corey think | 10:49 |
| ReK_ | im still partial to phpbb, it can do everything but news aggregation and is more user-friendly for the editors | 10:49 |
| jamonation | anyone else? | 10:49 |
| jamonation | ReK_: but for admin it is a royal PITA | 10:49 |
| ReK_ | no | 10:49 |
| lophyte | phpbb isn't a CMS though... | 10:50 |
| ReK_ | it can be modded into one | 10:50 |
| lophyte | that creates work | 10:50 |
| jamonation | why not go with CMS to begin with then? | 10:50 |
| lophyte | someone has to mod it | 10:50 |
| ReK_ | i will, i have before | 10:50 |
| lophyte | rather than modding something that isn't a CMS.. why not go with a CMS to start | 10:51 |
| darkenergy | agree | 10:51 |
| jamonation | anyone used typo3 or other enterprise CMSes? | 10:51 |
| jamonation | plone? | 10:51 |
| lophyte | whether its Drupal or not isn't a concern at the moment | 10:51 |
| darkenergy | I used typo2. it was ok but you have to be happy with ruby hacking | 10:52 |
| darkenergy | plone, sucks from what I know | 10:52 |
| jamonation | hmm, wait a sec., forums can go on http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=183 | 10:52 |
| jamonation | which is the LoCo team portion of the forums | 10:52 |
| darkenergy | nice | 10:53 |
| lophyte | it could, but is it a good idea to duplicate discussions? | 10:53 |
| jamonation | it would do ubuntu more good to have them there too | 10:53 |
| darkenergy | integrated search if its colo'd | 10:53 |
| jamonation | it also has integrated rss, so we could aggregate that onto ubuntu.ca | 10:54 |
| lophyte | I wonder if there's a way to integrate ubunuforums with the mailing lists | 10:54 |
| jamonation | and to have all locos centralized would boost their profile to new users, since forums are usu. their first stop | 10:54 |
| darkenergy | and less admin too | 10:54 |
| jamonation | there are plugins for posting to mailing lists form a cms | 10:54 |
| jamonation | even wordpress has one for mailman | 10:55 |
| lophyte | indeed.. but I mean ubuntuforums+mailman | 10:55 |
| jamonation | ubuntuforums->ubuntu.ca CMS->mailman | 10:55 |
| jamonation | through rss | 10:55 |
| lophyte | ah, perhaps | 10:55 |
| lophyte | not sure if it would work the other way though | 10:55 |
| ReK_ | that would be somewhat of a hackjob, we'd have to hide the 'news posts' coming from the forums | 10:56 |
| ReK_ | and it wouldnt be 2wayu | 10:56 |
| lophyte | I was hoping that we could set it up so that the forums and the mailing lists would essentially be one in the same | 10:56 |
| lophyte | but I don't think its a huge issue to have it separate | 10:57 |
| ReK_ | the way I saw was one sub forum would be the mailing list, fully 2 way. the other forums wouldnt, however, otherwise the list wouldnt know where to put new threads | 10:57 |
| jamonation | well, we know what we want, so lets put it on the wiki and more on to the next item on the agenda | 10:57 |
| despot32 | ok back, sorry. headache. | 10:57 |
| jamonation | wait for Corey and Brian and then charge ahead | 10:57 |
| lophyte | good call | 10:58 |
| lophyte | the next item is regarding Ubuntu Canada subgroups | 10:58 |
| lophyte | currently, as far as I know, the only one that exists is in Toronto | 10:58 |
| lophyte | there's been talk of people wanting to start one in New Brunswick and Winnipeg, but I've heard nothing about them so far | 10:58 |
| ReK_ | vancouver too | 10:59 |
| lophyte | how far is Victoria from Vancouver? | 10:59 |
| darkenergy | a boat ride | 10:59 |
| ReK_ | a ferry ride | 10:59 |
| despot32 | victoria's on an island | 10:59 |
| lophyte | ah | 11:00 |
| lophyte | yeah i knew it was on the island | 11:00 |
| jamonation | they might as well be 2 distinct groups | 11:00 |
| ReK_ | say, 2-3 hours | 11:00 |
| lophyte | for the most part, I'd like to encourage everyone to try and start a subgroup in their area.. | 11:01 |
| lophyte | its incredibly rewarding to meet with other Ubuntu users and do advocacy projects together | 11:01 |
| lophyte | it doesn't take too much time to start one.. choose a location, a date, and a time, and post it everywhere you can think of | 11:01 |
| ReK_ | btw: ubuntuforums.com uses vbulletin, and i can find no mailing list plugin for it, so we would have to do it through rss | 11:02 |
| lophyte | noted | 11:02 |
| jamonation | failing that, or lacking critical mass, how about integrating with a local LUG? | 11:02 |
| Fujitsu | ReK_: ubuntuforums used to have a mail gateway set up to a number of Ubuntu lists. | 11:02 |
| lophyte | that works as well | 11:02 |
| ReK_ | did they change forum software recently? | 11:03 |
| lophyte | if you feel you don't have the time or energy to start up a local subgroup, talk with your local LUG to set up an Ubuntu special interest group | 11:03 |
| Fujitsu | No. | 11:03 |
| lophyte | is anyone here interested in starting a local subgroup in their city or town? | 11:04 |
| ReK_ | im interested in joining one in vancouver, and id help out, but i dont think i can take the full load until summer at least :( | 11:04 |
| jamonation | do you go to vanlug meets? | 11:05 |
| ReK_ | im heading to the next one, havent gone before though | 11:05 |
| jamonation | they'll likely be pretty technical | 11:06 |
| ReK_ | that fine | 11:06 |
| jamonation | but you could start by posting on upcoming.org and various places that you'd like to meet other ubuntu users at the meeting? | 11:06 |
| lophyte | craigslist works too | 11:06 |
| jamonation | yeah | 11:06 |
| ReK_ | hmm, true | 11:06 |
| lophyte | or even on the ubuntu-ca mailing list | 11:06 |
| lophyte | just a post that says "would anyone like to meet?" | 11:07 |
| jamonation | as a start at least, maybe someone there would help out | 11:07 |
| despot32 | at the next KWLUG someone's going to be giving a presentation on using drupal. i might attend, if only to be a smartass. lol | 11:07 |
| lophyte | lol | 11:07 |
| lophyte | despot32: you should start an ubuntu-kw ;) | 11:07 |
| despot32 | where would i get members? | 11:07 |
| lophyte | uh | 11:08 |
| lophyte | U of W? | 11:08 |
| jamonation | another good spot for starting a sub group would be local college and university campuses | 11:08 |
| despot32 | it's very rarely that i run into someone who uses linux let alone ubuntu | 11:08 |
| ReK_ | Fujitsu: "There was once an add-on at vBulletin.org but I believe it was abandoned." | 11:08 |
| lophyte | despot32: I bet if you posted on the mailing list, you'd find some folks | 11:08 |
| Fujitsu | ReK_: Ah, terrific. | 11:08 |
| despot32 | Microsoft's hands are heavily in the CS programs so they're all very Windows-centric | 11:08 |
| despot32 | what mailing list? lol | 11:09 |
| lophyte | ubuntu-ca@lists.ubuntu.com | 11:09 |
| despot32 | ah | 11:09 |
| jamonation | not engineering and physics dept's | 11:09 |
| lophyte | http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-ca | 11:09 |
| despot32 | most people i talk to infer that since i use linux i must be homosexual | 11:09 |
| jamonation | plus most campus SACs would give free meeting space | 11:09 |
| darkenergy | jeez | 11:10 |
| lophyte | despot32: perhaps post on the KWLUG mailing list that you'd like to start an Ubuntu group? that might work as well. | 11:10 |
| despot32 | that might | 11:10 |
| despot32 | i think i will go to a kwlug meeting first though and see what the community is like | 11:10 |
| jamonation | anyone else want to start a local chapter? | 11:11 |
| despot32 | oh hey, your friend Evan is doing the demo. | 11:11 |
| lophyte | LOL | 11:11 |
| lophyte | really? | 11:11 |
| jamonation | roadtrip! | 11:11 |
| despot32 | yes | 11:11 |
| lophyte | jamonation: let's do a roadtrip to KW ;) | 11:11 |
| jamonation | yeah, exactly | 11:11 |
| lophyte | though I invited Evan to the next toronto meeting | 11:11 |
| jamonation | that's inter-SIG awareness for you | 11:12 |
| lophyte | despot32: you might find that the KWLUG is extremely techincal.. TLUG is like that | 11:12 |
| lophyte | technical, rather | 11:12 |
| lophyte | I think that's it for today | 11:14 |
| despot32 | the latest legit post on their online forums was almost 4 months ago | 11:14 |
| lophyte | hah | 11:14 |
| lophyte | perhaps the mailing list is more active | 11:15 |
| lophyte | anyway.. let's wrap it up | 11:15 |
| lophyte | anyone have any questions or comments? | 11:15 |
| darkenergy | Dave, are you going to talk to Corey and Brian about CmS and what is available from Canonical? | 11:15 |
| darkenergy | and how does that get moved forward? | 11:16 |
| lophyte | yup, I will | 11:16 |
| despot32 | if they will give you php and mysql databases, you should be good to go | 11:16 |
| lophyte | I'll post the meeting notes to the mailing list, and I'm sure a discussion about it will continue from there | 11:16 |
| jamonation | don't forget to put them on the wiki too | 11:16 |
| lophyte | that too | 11:16 |
| darkenergy | k | 11:17 |
| lophyte | we're going to make these meetings monthly | 11:17 |
| lophyte | so we should be meeting again in a months time :) | 11:17 |
| jamonation | put it on the fridge then | 11:17 |
| ReK_ | heh, theres another feature for the site: a google calander | 11:17 |
| lophyte | the meetings? they are | 11:17 |
| jamonation | oh good | 11:17 |
| lophyte | well thats it for today then.. if anyone would like to stick around and discuss, you're welcome to hop into #ubuntu-ca | 11:18 |
| === jamonation waves | ||
| jamonation | later then | 11:18 |
| === futz48 [n=futz@h24-207-34-129.dlt.dccnet.com] has left #ubuntu-meeting [] | ||
