[01:00] just in time ;-) [01:00] hello all [01:01] [STARTMEETING] [01:01] nhaines: you're up :) [01:01] :) [01:01] My name is Nathan Haines. I've been an Ubuntu enthusiast for 3 years and a member of the California LoCo since they reformed last Autumn. [01:01] I became involved with Ubuntu in May 2005, when I realized that the project was serious, the community was friendly and strong, and the distro showed a lot of care and polish. After 11 years of using Linux, I saw that Ubuntu could go very far and started advocating to friends, and filing bugs. [01:01] Now I am very active on the LoCo team: creating assets (name badges and so forth), running booths, organizing events, and giving presentations in front of audiences. Through polite and thoughtful advocacy, I have worked to increase awareness of Free Software and Ubuntu to others. [01:01] My wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NathanHaines [01:01] nixternal: sorry bout the bot, will try to fix it soon [01:01] My Launchpad profile: https://launchpad.net/~nhaines [01:01] Seeker`: no prob...thanks :) [01:02] * BotenAnna edits nhaines' wiki with the facts he doesn't want you to know! :D [01:02] all: meeting minutes / people up for membership are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership/RegionalBoards/Americas [01:02] I've observed nhaines run the Ubuntu booth at Lugradio Live USA and spent some time talking to him - I'd like to throw in 2 cents for a recommendation for membership! [01:02] jcastro: thx [01:02] Oh, not in the canned speech, but I was at SCaLE6x in February and at LRL in April as well. [01:02] I am Neal Bussett, LoCo Lead of the California LoCo team, here to talk about Nathana. [01:02] I have nothing but good things to say about Nathan, he has been an integral part of our LoCo team; we have organized and participated in a number of events together. I don’t believe we’ve done anything significant that he hasn’t played a key role in. [01:02] hehe, looks good....really diggin' that Ubuntu polo :) [01:02] On a number of occasions he has taken over when I was unable to attend. One of these was LUG Radio Live, which he manned single-handedly and did a wonderful job. [01:03] He is a fine person and deserves Ubuntu Membership. I know we'll see many good things because of him in the future. [01:03] nhaines, sounds like you have been having a blast at events [01:03] nixternal: hehe, thanks. :) [01:03] Er, talk about Nathan. No idea who Nathana is. [01:03] evening all [01:03] The events have been awesome. Location permitting, I bring my 3yo godson Michael along to do the GCompris presentations. [01:03] sorry I'm a couple minutes late [01:03] Technoviking: welcome. :) [01:03] a lot of work with PyRoom i see, excellent [01:04] hi everyone [01:04] nhaines: how much packaging have you done? anything other than PyRoom (which is a hit I heard) [01:04] rolando-ve, :) [01:04] PyRoom was my chance to jump in on a fresh project and help give some direction regarding project management and Bazaar branches. [01:04] nixternal: I have only packaged PyRoom (and a couple personal things to test it out) but I hope to get PyRoom into intrepid and see if there's anything else I can help out with. [01:04] nhaines: have you started with motu, or looking to go that route? [01:04] hello everyone [01:04] I'm not sure what-all my place as something of an outsider here is, but nhaines brought me back to Ubuntu and sold me on Python. He's pretty rad and knowing him irl, he practically eats and breathes Ubuntu :) [01:05] I probably won't get so involved with MOTU, but I am going through REVU. :) [01:05] have I deleted one of your packages on REVU yet? :) [01:05] nixternal: hehe, no, it's not suitable even for deletion yet, but I know it'll get there soon. ;) [01:06] jeesh, Cali sure has a lot of free software events going on [01:06] It's a big hit on my PPA, though. [01:06] nhaines, so how do you plan to further your participation in the ubuntu project? [01:06] all: Technoviking is part of the board, and will be approving/rejecting apps as well. we now have a body of 6 [01:06] I've found that public speeking is a huge amount of fun, and so I intend to continue doing events and will start signing up for presentations. [01:07] I'm also working with California LoCo to see how we can handle more installfests. [01:07] nhaines, sounds cool... advocacy is definetelly fun [01:07] +1 from me [01:07] <_MMA_> +1 [01:07] i see a lot of sustained advocacy, as well as sustained activity on launchpad [01:07] +1 here [01:07] +1 based on LoCo activity and overwhelming support [01:07] count a +1 from me too [01:07] +1 [01:08] congrats nhaines :) [01:08] \o/ [01:08] nhaines: welcome aboard [01:08] oh noes, it is jcastro [01:08] Thanks guys, it means a lot to me. :) I'll just continue doing what I've been doing. [01:08] nhaines Congratulations! [01:08] congrats nhaines! [01:08] Thanks for making it on short notice, Jorge. :) [01:08] congrats and welcome nhaines!!! [01:08] wiii wiii [01:08] +1 for me [01:08] congrats nhaines :D [01:08] welcome nhaines [01:08] congratulations nhaines! [01:08] congrats nhaines [01:08] :D [01:08] jcastro: when you speak to jono next, tell him I want those pics from Penguicon he got from the pub [01:08] congrats nhaines !!!! [01:08] atoponce, If there is time (end of meeting/approvals) I'd like to comment a possible process to evaluate memberships in spanish in the future [01:09] is Asommer around? [01:09] MagicFab, hehehe [01:09] MagicFab: sounds good [01:09] oh Adam Sommer, your turn [01:09] Hello, I'm Adam Sommer, I work as a Linux Sysadmin for a small college in North Carolina. [01:09] MagicFab: Cool [01:09] I've been helping to update the Server Guide for the Gutsy and Hardy releases. In doing so I've worked closely with both the Ubuntu Doc Team and Server Team. [01:09] Thanks, all! I'm sticking around but good luck to everyone else. I'll be here cheering everyone on. :) [01:09] My plan is to help keep the Server Guide up to date for each release and continue to help test the Server Edition. Also, I'd like to learn more about packaging to hopefully help solve more bugs instead of just reporting them. [01:09] wiki link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Asommer [01:09] if that's in the right order :) [01:10] I can provide some insight on just how much sommer has improved Ubuntu Documentation by working on the server guide, great job all around there!!! [01:10] nixternal: thanks [01:10] it was good times, heh [01:11] actually, I think you are the only doc committer who is not an Ubuntu member iirc [01:11] wow. i see very good sustained contributions here. [01:11] just consulted the server guide earlier today, great work on that [01:11] ya, and for a while as well [01:12] sommer: please keep in close touch with nijaba. i'm sure he appreciates your efforts. [01:12] sommer: what are your plans for the future of Ubuntu? [01:12] Adam helped me out on the Xubuntu docs quite a bit. he did great work on the server docs, especially for the hardy cycle. [01:12] nixternal: for intrepid the big thing is Samba [01:12] are you heading towards development at all? [01:12] nixternal: ya, I'd like to... time permitting that is [01:12] sommer: no freakin' doubt! get it straight in Kubuntu while you are at it, and there is a cookie for ya :) [01:12] ok, some good work and lots of people to back it up...
