ScottKDo we have an agenda?21:01
Riddellhttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Meetings21:01
Riddellwhich is out of date21:01
valoriezScottK: I added my membership to the top21:01
Riddellexept for valoriez's membership21:01
Riddellso let's start with that21:02
neversfeldeso let's start with that21:02
Riddellvaloriez: who are you want why do you want to be a Kubuntu memeber?21:02
Riddells/want/and/21:02
valoriezI'm a writer, and I want to contribute21:02
valoriezI've started with Amarok21:02
valoriezI would prefer to start contributing to projects I use, and can help with21:03
Riddellthe Amarok folks didn't put you off free software for life? :)21:03
valoriezrofl21:03
valoriezI'm enjoying the process of writing the handbook21:03
valoriezand the Insider21:03
Riddellwhat do you do for Ubuntu and Kubuntu?21:04
valoriezit sounds like membership will give me some in, to get the information I need to write well21:04
valoriezwell, I started my blog, which does seem to be helping people21:04
valoriezI doubt I'll ever be more techie than I am now21:04
valoriezbut I love hanging with technical people21:05
valoriezand I am talented at connecting people and information21:05
valoriezand supporting/creating community21:05
Riddellyou do things with loco?21:06
valoriezhave been with Linuxchix for about.....8 years21:06
ScottKWhat kind of support and assistance do you provide for users? (IIRC you said something about that on your wiki page)21:06
valoriezwe're trying to get a LoCo together21:06
Riddellhttps://wiki.kubuntu.org/ValorieZimmerman21:06
valoriezit's been work21:06
valorieznot a whole lot of success yet21:06
valoriezbut I'm not giving up21:06
neversfeldevaloriez: I know how hard it is to write a handbook, and we really need people who work on the docs and the wiki, but I miss contributions that are Kubuntu related. You, seem to be very active in LoCo work and other Ubuntu things, so why Kubuntu membership and not Ubuntu?21:06
valoriezsupport and assistance through my blog, IRC, lists, and some forums21:07
valoriezwell, I'm a KDE person21:07
valoriezdon't really like the gnome21:07
valoriezI'm not religious about it21:07
Riddellpresumably she uses Kubuntu :)21:07
valoriezbut I prefer Kubuntu, always21:07
neversfeldeand that's good :)21:07
valoriezand kubuntu apps21:07
Riddell"Washington Ubuntu LoCo" is unrelated to Washington DC Loco?21:08
macolots of new-to-kde people stumble into #ubuntu-women, where she's very helpful (also, i was one of those ;) )21:08
macoRiddell: washington is a state too21:08
valoriezneversfelde: I'm just starting with the tech writing, besides my blog21:08
ScottKRiddell: It's on the other end of the country21:08
valoriezso I hope to get there21:08
ScottKDo you help out on #kubuntu?21:08
valoriezunrelated in that Washington is a state21:08
valoriezScottK: I've gone there a couple of times21:09
=== MichealH is now known as Guest7335
valoriezbut it seems much more technical than I am21:09
valoriezI'm willing to live there more, however21:09
valoriezbecause IRC is a great place to learn about stuff21:09
neversfeldevaloriez: you#re searching for "other tech writing and community building projects which need doing in K/Ubuntu"21:10
neversfeldewhat do you think that is?21:10
macooh i know what nixternal would answer21:10
valoriezwell, to be honest, I think the community side is lacking in Kubuntu21:10
valoriezseriously21:10
valoriezthere is a lot of support for OOOObuntu21:11
=== Guest7335 is now known as MichealH
valoriezby the structure21:11
valoriezbut I'm always having to plump for KUbuntu21:11
neversfeldeyou are giving support?21:11
valoriezin my LoCo, in Ubuntu--Women21:11
valoriezand elsewhere21:11
neversfeldeok21:11
valoriezyes, and sometimes that is handing people off to folks who can answer their questions21:12
valoriezsince I'm not very technical21:12
valoriezmy enthusiasm has carried the day a few times21:12
neversfeldethat's not a problem. I like what I see, but as I said there aren't any kubuntu contributions so far21:13
valoriezI'm not anti-ubuntu21:13
valoriezjust pro-Kubuntu21:13
valoriezneversfelde: do you have any suggestions of ways I can improve that?21:13
neversfeldebut I think I can give a +1, because I think you can help us21:13
valoriezmy loco work, I consider kubuntu contributions21:13
RiddellKubuntu membership, in my opinion, is open to people who are part of the wider Ubuntu community but happen to use Kubuntu as their preferred variant21:14
neversfeldevaloriez: I am sure that you will improve this and on that basis I think you should be part of the team21:15
valoriezI'm not saying I deserve this21:15
valoriezhowever, I would *like* it21:15
ScottKMembership is for significant and sustained contribution to the Ubuntu project.  It sounds like a lot of what you've done is outside the Ubuntu project (Linuxchix and Amarok) - It's great, but I don't think it goes towards membership.21:15
valoriezand will appreciate the honor, and continue to work21:15
valoriezwell, we've been working on the loco for over a year21:15
Riddellit's the loco work which makes me want to give a +121:16
valoriezVancouver BC is only 3 hours north of us, and they are on FIRE21:16
valoriezours is limping, especially in contrast21:16
valoriezbut all we can do is keep going21:16
valoriezSeattle is a bit of a Microsoft town21:17
valoriezlol21:17
macovaloriez: since you write a bunch, would you be up for filling in on the Kubuntu Docs stuff, since outside commitments have torn others away from it?21:17
neversfeldeyes, we should not underestimate LoCo work, I'm doing it myself and it is often not easy21:17
valoriezcertainly!21:17
maco(dunno if you were aware help was needed there)21:18
valoriezpoint me at something21:18
Riddellwe have a session on it at UDS21:18
valoriezoh, cool21:18
valoriezwhen are schedules for the sessions going to be out?21:18
Riddell+1 from me for loco work and several testimonials about how helpful she is21:18
valoriezI've heard nothing21:18
ScottKThe real question is would this make me no longer the oldest Kubuntu member?21:18
valoriezrofl21:18
valoriezI'm 5721:19
valoriez?21:19
Riddellvaloriez: schedule isn't final until the morning it happens21:19
ScottKYep.21:19
neversfeldethe problem with LoCo work is, that the international team often do not realize it21:19
macovaloriez: check your inbox, Riddell sent an email today saying the stuff's getting scheduled overnight21:19
neversfeldeScottK: rofl21:19
valoriezwoooo, I'll be the oldest?21:19
Riddellneversfelde: you still +1?21:19
ScottKvaloriez: I'd also encourage you to hang out in #kubuntu.  You'll both learn and help people with things that will help your writing.21:19
* ScottK is +1.21:19
macomm guess i should say "first pass" at scheduling...21:19
valoriezok, I'll do that21:19
neversfeldeRiddell:  yes, I am21:20
Riddellthen valoriez is in!21:20
Riddellwelcome along21:20
valoriez\o/21:20
ScottKvaloriez: You've got me beat by 10 years, so you would be it, AFAIK.21:20
valoriezthank you!21:20
neversfeldethat's great21:20
neversfeldevaloriez: welcome21:20
macovaloriez: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-kubuntu-n-docs21:20
macowoo21:20
* valoriez waits for the limo to pull up21:20
* maco hugs valoriez21:20
neversfeldeand please have a look at the docs :)21:20
Riddelldo we have any other business?21:21
neversfeldemhh21:21
ScottKBanishing nixternal for excessive bicyle riding?21:21
neversfeldehehe21:21
valoriezthanks for meeting, and considering my application21:21
RiddellI'm away for most of next week, hopefully ninjas will get cracking on the merges21:22
Riddelland then party in Orlando21:22
macoRiddell: there's work before the party :P21:22
valoriezparty? hmmm21:22
valoriezI thought it was work21:22
valoriezlol21:22
neversfeldebulldog98: you did nbot reapply?21:22
Riddellincase anyone else is confused, Downtown Disney is just a place with brightly coloured restaurants that we go for tea, it's not Disneyworld itself21:22
neversfelde-b21:22
macoin case anyone else is confused, when Riddell says "tea" he means "dinner" or "supper" or "bangohan"21:23
ScottKWhen I say coffee, I mean coffee.21:24
neversfeldeok, so no other business :)21:24
Riddellthanks for coming all21:24
neversfeldethat was a short meeting :)21:25
ScottKNo one else was up for the banishing.21:25
