=== jjohansen is now known as jj-afk [01:26] Hello === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk [01:41] Hi [01:42] matthewrohaly, By your repeated greetings, I suspect you may have found a channel different than that which you expect. This channel is reserved for scheduled meetings. What sort of channel did you seek? It may be that I can redirect you. [01:43] Oh hi, I was wonder if I had missed the Ubuntu Members meeting [01:43] I had some work to do and forgot [01:43] :( [01:43] if you mean the americas board, i think thats next week [01:43] Is it? [01:43] oh i thought it way todya [01:44] oh your right [01:44] im so sorry [01:44] Have a great day :) === doko_ is now known as doko === Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk === Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha === jj-afk is now known as jjohansen [21:01] \o [21:01] neversfelde, apachelogger, ScottK council ping [21:01] rgreening: ping [21:01] here [21:01] Do we have an agenda? [21:01] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Meetings [21:01] which is out of date [21:01] ScottK: I added my membership to the top [21:01] exept for valoriez's membership [21:02] so let's start with that [21:02] so let's start with that [21:02] valoriez: who are you want why do you want to be a Kubuntu memeber? [21:02] s/want/and/ [21:02] I'm a writer, and I want to contribute [21:02] I've started with Amarok [21:03] I would prefer to start contributing to projects I use, and can help with [21:03] the Amarok folks didn't put you off free software for life? :) [21:03] rofl [21:03] I'm enjoying the process of writing the handbook [21:03] and the Insider [21:04] what do you do for Ubuntu and Kubuntu? [21:04] it sounds like membership will give me some in, to get the information I need to write well [21:04] well, I started my blog, which does seem to be helping people [21:04] I doubt I'll ever be more techie than I am now [21:05] but I love hanging with technical people [21:05] and I am talented at connecting people and information [21:05] and supporting/creating community [21:06] you do things with loco? [21:06] have been with Linuxchix for about.....8 years [21:06] What kind of support and assistance do you provide for users? (IIRC you said something about that on your wiki page) [21:06] we're trying to get a LoCo together [21:06] https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ValorieZimmerman [21:06] it's been work [21:06] not a whole lot of success yet [21:06] but I'm not giving up [21:06] valoriez: 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? [21:07] support and assistance through my blog, IRC, lists, and some forums [21:07] well, I'm a KDE person [21:07] don't really like the gnome [21:07] I'm not religious about it [21:07] presumably she uses Kubuntu :) [21:07] but I prefer Kubuntu, always [21:07] and that's good :) [21:07] and kubuntu apps [21:08] "Washington Ubuntu LoCo" is unrelated to Washington DC Loco? [21:08] lots of new-to-kde people stumble into #ubuntu-women, where she's very helpful (also, i was one of those ;) ) [21:08] Riddell: washington is a state too [21:08] neversfelde: I'm just starting with the tech writing, besides my blog [21:08] Riddell: It's on the other end of the country [21:08] so I hope to get there [21:08] Do you help out on #kubuntu? [21:08] unrelated in that Washington is a state [21:09] ScottK: I've gone there a couple of times === MichealH is now known as Guest7335 [21:09] but it seems much more technical than I am [21:09] I'm willing to live there more, however [21:09] because IRC is a great place to learn about stuff [21:10] valoriez: you#re searching for "other tech writing and community building projects which need doing in K/Ubuntu" [21:10] what do you think that is? [21:10] oh i know what nixternal would answer [21:10] well, to be honest, I think the community side is lacking in Kubuntu [21:10] seriously [21:11] there is a lot of support for OOOObuntu === Guest7335 is now known as MichealH [21:11] by the structure [21:11] but I'm always having to plump for KUbuntu [21:11] you are giving support? [21:11] in my LoCo, in Ubuntu--Women [21:11] and elsewhere [21:11] ok [21:12] yes, and sometimes that is handing people off to folks who can answer their questions [21:12] since I'm not very technical [21:12] my enthusiasm has carried the day a few times [21:13] that's not a problem. I like what I see, but as I said there aren't any kubuntu contributions so far [21:13] I'm not anti-ubuntu [21:13] just pro-Kubuntu [21:13] neversfelde: do you have any suggestions of ways I can improve that? [21:13] but I think I can give a +1, because I think you can help us [21:13] my loco work, I consider kubuntu contributions [21:14] Kubuntu membership, in my opinion, is open to people who are part of the wider Ubuntu community but happen to use Kubuntu as their preferred variant [21:15] valoriez: I am sure that you will improve this and on that basis I think you should be part of the team [21:15] I'm not saying I deserve this [21:15] however, I would *like* it [21:15] Membership 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] and will appreciate the honor, and continue to work [21:15] well, we've been working on the loco for over a year [21:16] it's the loco work which makes me want to give a +1 [21:16] Vancouver BC is only 3 hours north of us, and they are on FIRE [21:16] ours is limping, especially in contrast [21:16] but all we can do is keep going [21:17] Seattle is a bit of a Microsoft town [21:17] lol [21:17] valoriez: 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] yes, we should not underestimate LoCo work, I'm doing it myself and it is often not easy [21:17] certainly! [21:18] (dunno if you were aware help was needed there) [21:18] point me at something [21:18] we have a session on it at UDS [21:18] oh, cool [21:18] when are schedules for the sessions going to be out? [21:18] +1 from me for loco work and several testimonials about how helpful she is [21:18] I've heard nothing [21:18] The real question is would this make me no longer the oldest Kubuntu member? [21:18] rofl [21:19] I'm 57 [21:19] ? [21:19] valoriez: schedule isn't final until the morning it happens [21:19] Yep. [21:19] the problem with LoCo work is, that the international team often do not realize it [21:19] valoriez: check your inbox, Riddell sent an email today saying the stuff's getting scheduled overnight [21:19] ScottK: rofl [21:19] woooo, I'll be the oldest? [21:19] neversfelde: you still +1? [21:19] valoriez: 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] mm guess i should say "first pass" at scheduling... [21:19] ok, I'll do that [21:20] Riddell: yes, I am [21:20] then valoriez is in! [21:20] welcome along [21:20] \o/ [21:20] valoriez: You've got me beat by 10 years, so you would be it, AFAIK. [21:20] thank you! [21:20] that's great [21:20] valoriez: welcome [21:20] valoriez: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/other-kubuntu-n-docs [21:20] woo [21:20] * valoriez waits for the limo to pull up [21:20] * maco hugs valoriez [21:20] and please have a look at the docs :) [21:21] do we have any other business? [21:21] mhh [21:21] Banishing nixternal for excessive bicyle riding? [21:21] hehe [21:21] thanks for meeting, and considering my application [21:22] I'm away for most of next week, hopefully ninjas will get cracking on the merges [21:22] and then party in Orlando [21:22] Riddell: there's work before the party :P [21:22] party? hmmm [21:22] I thought it was work [21:22] lol [21:22] bulldog98: you did nbot reapply? [21:22] incase anyone else is confused, Downtown Disney is just a place with brightly coloured restaurants that we go for tea, it's not Disneyworld itself [21:22] -b [21:23] in case anyone else is confused, when Riddell says "tea" he means "dinner" or "supper" or "bangohan" [21:24] When I say coffee, I mean coffee. [21:24] ok, so no other business :) [21:24] thanks for coming all [21:25] that was a short meeting :) [21:25] No one else was up for the banishing. [21:25] 24 minutes =] === yofel_ is now known as yofel
