[00:57] anyone seen chloric or govatent? [00:57] chloric was around earlier today, but I haven't seen him recently [00:58] Hey there MichelleQ! He's the only one that had an agenda item [00:58] I still want to bring up his topic though [00:58] I couldn't remember if we had a meeting or not. :-P don't even know what day of the week it is. [00:59] because I think it would be cool to have a discussion on what the team thinks about "Promotional Events" [00:59] hello everyone [00:59] Hey there X-Man ! [01:00] Hopefully there will be a bit of discussion, and then we can end the meeting a little early [01:00] :-) [01:00] #startmeeting [01:00] Meeting started at 01:00. The chair is itnet7. [01:00] Commands Available: [TOPIC], [PROGRESS REPORT], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] [01:01] ping Catsceo cjohnston dantalizing mhall119 pak33m reya276 RoAkSoAx zoopster [01:01] hey [01:01] Hey there reya276 ! [01:01] trying to stay awake, they got me working like a slave [01:01] I am going to ask Alanbell for an enhancement request to mootbot to Anounce the start of athe meeting [01:01] mhall119 is putting kids to bed [01:02] Ah! No worries reya276 [01:02] I just thought we would discuss chloric's topic [01:02] [TOPIC] Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour [01:02] New Topic: Discussion for an Ubuntu Promotional Hour [01:03] quick show of hands to see whether or not we have a couple of people that can weigh in thoughts on this [01:03] o/ [01:04] o/ [01:04] If not we can hold off until next meeting.... [01:04] o/ [01:04] Sorry what is the Ubuntu Promotion Hour? [01:04] * mhall119 is here [01:04] Hey there mhall119 ! [01:04] X-Man: it's similar to a standard Ubuntu hour [01:04] but [01:05] their idea was to reserve a venue [01:05] setup a pc, where passersby can try out Ubuntu [01:06] That sounds cool [01:06] Browse the Web a bit, play some of the games [01:06] Use the wordprocessor, gimp, etc [01:06] showcase some Ubuntu goodness [01:07] the thing I wanted to ask everyone about, is that chloric and govatent talked with flux which is similar to a LUG downsouth [01:07] that'd be cool [01:07] we could probably rummage up some equipment for the team to use [01:07] and wanted to do stuff together with flux, but the leader of flux said they wouldn't participate in an "Ubuntu" only event [01:09] Chloric was saying that he and govatent wanted to in that case showcase meego, and other Open source stuff like chromeos [01:10] I don't think that's a big deal if flux were to head it up, and govatent and chloric wanted to support it [01:11] but it shouldn't be advertised in my opinion as a "Ubuntu Florida Team" Event [01:11] any thoughts? [01:11] seems reasonable to me [01:11] me too [01:11] we can just support the effort, without making it a team sanctioned event [01:12] Well, I don't want to discourage any help that we can give to others, but I do think it would be awkward to open an Ubuntu Hour to Maemo, etc. just to get some flux members to attend [01:13] or is it trivial? [01:14] I don't know that it's a big deal one way or another [01:16] I just said that I would ask them if it would be allright to send an invite to their mailing list [01:16] The event and should have something demoing Ubuntu [01:17] and let them know if they need support at installfests or other events, that we would be glad to help [01:17] seems reasonable [01:18] Well, I just really wanted a gauge to see if I was the only one that felt that if the team is doing an event, that we should advocate Ubuntu is all [01:19] Does anyone else have anything they would like to discuss, or any ideas to discuss? [01:19] nope, not at the moment. [01:19] [TOPIC] Open Meeting [01:19] New Topic: Open Meeting [01:20] where is the next UDS going to be held at [01:20] Budapest [01:20] * MichelleQ2 can't spell, tho [01:20] X-Man: Hungary [01:20] OH, I do want to thank everyone who helped pull off the welcome party! [01:20] What about the one in the Fall [01:20] Then hopefully the next one will return to Florida [01:21] really? [01:21] Thanks to you too MichelleQ you guys did a lot of work to help get that off the ground!! [01:21] itnet7: couldn't have done it without the team's help! [01:21] Thanks MIchelleQ [01:21] Definitely [01:21] dantalizing, you, zoopster, everyone who was involved. It was a spectacular success [01:22] That's exactly what I told Mark S. [01:22] I had the utmost of compliments from Marianna. She stopped me, and told me that in her years of doing UDS, she'd never seen anything like it before done by a team. [01:22] That Rocks!! [01:23] I was touched. [01:23] That does Rock [01:23] X-Man: it's definitely not confirmed, but it was absolutely discussed [01:23] having it in Florida again [01:23] I will be there this time [01:23] Marianna said that we need wait to get the feedback [01:23] but I think everyone loved the location! [01:23] I sure hope it happens - I *loved* being able to be around so many friends [01:24] Definitely [01:24] we had a great night with the women's team being here, and then having houseguests for several days afterward [01:24] I bet that all of you had a ball!! [01:24] It was a blast... and really, really, solidified the idea of family between several of us [01:25] If nothing else, UDS made me realize that I do have a place in this community thing, and that I have something important to contribute. It was amazing. [01:25] Oh, One thing... Let's make a concerted effort to try and utilize ubuntu-fl.org. If you're trying to use it and you see a problem let me know [01:25] definitely [01:25] MichelleQ2: Absolutely [01:26] There have been some discrepancies with rights, and openid, but I think were through the thick of it [01:27] Florida Team's planet should be working flawlessly as well [01:27] awesome [01:27] thanks to dantalizing ! [01:27] I got my blog up on Planet, finally. [01:27] MichelleQ2: Sweet!! [01:27] I'll have to get it up on ours as well. [01:28] As soon as I learn how to add them, I will ping you sometime and hook you up [01:28] * MichelleQ2 shamelessly plugs www.opensourceroad.blogspot.com [01:28] :-) [01:28] nice!! [01:28] o/ [01:28] hey there cjohnston !

[01:30] nope! [01:30] #endmeeting [01:30] Meeting finished at 01:30. [01:30] awesome [01:30] MichelleQ2: have you ever geocached? [01:31] we've talked about it, but haven't actually tried. [01:31] well I guess, that is really directed towards anyone :-) [01:31] Oh.. My... I have become addicted [01:31] rofl! [01:31] check this out [01:31] well let me find the link [01:31] I need to get some sort of handheld gps doo-dad, don't I? [01:32] I heard some of the TOMTOM gps can download and install a geocache software [01:32] you have an android phone, no? [01:32] http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=884300 [01:32] itnet7: I do, ye [01:32] yes [01:33] there are a bunch of great apps, the best one is free [01:33] c:geo for android [01:33] awesome, I'll download [01:34] all you'd need is the "Free" http://www.geocaching.com/ account [01:34] with us having the camper, we've talked about getting the kids into it. [01:35] figured it'd be something fun to do when we're out camping [01:35] You don't need the premium membership, unless you really like it and want to do some member-only caches [01:35] MichelleQ2: absolutely [01:35] sounds cool [01:36] X-Man: Yeah, I think they list some of the gps that do support it [01:37] itnet7: your geocaching.com username itnet7? [01:37] I did the caches and created the everytrail trip mapping right from my phone [01:37] MichelleQ2: yes [01:37] for now [01:37] excellent. :-) [01:37] itnet7, so you are using your andriod to Geocache [01:37] X-Man: yup [01:37] that's all I use [01:37] my buddy has a handheld gps [01:37] and he is surprised by the accuracy of the phone [01:38] awesome. I'll get the app and maybe we can give it a try this weekend [01:38] I am probably going to buy and extended battery [01:38] good idea [01:38] itnet7, that is really cool so the android phone is pretty accurate? [01:38] MichelleQ2: if you don't get a chance, we'll do a couple of easy one's in the area to get you started if you visit [01:39] X-Man: wicked accurate [01:39] nice [01:39] I am using an evo [01:39] they do have ratings of phones on the site [01:39] my buddy has a palmos phone [01:39] itnet7, so you are on sprint now [01:39] and his is okay, but no where near as accurate [01:39] X-Man: yes, thank God! [01:40] Finally got away from t-mo [01:40] itnet7, was t-mo bad in you area? [01:40] Yes, unfortunately, because I liked their service [01:40] Well [01:40] itnet7: excellent. :-) I think we've found which campground we're gonna try to get into [01:40] I mean Customer Service [01:41] Coolbeans! [01:41] night everyone [01:41] gnight X-Man talk with you soon! [01:42] MichelleQ2: Hannya absolutely loves it [01:42] excellent! I think the kids will like it, if we can have some easy success to get started [01:43] Most starbucks have hidden caches [01:44] really? [01:44] cool [01:44] MichelleQ2: pm? [03:09] greetings! === excid|mbp is now known as excid3|mbp [14:48] It's one of those days where I have to pick which problem with production I have to fix first. [15:45] Morning Everyone [15:55] Hey there reya276 ! [15:56] itnet7, hello [16:16] does anyone use icq? [18:25] is it possible to change the name of a MYSQL DB? [18:25] or actually change the name of a MYSQL Schema? [18:27] When I try to Alter Schema all I can do is change the default collation [18:43] govatent, I don't, but why do you ask? [18:43] ICQ was my first IM, then it got hacked and never went back [18:43] 829044 was my number [19:20] DammitJim, it currently broke in empathy [19:20] yikes [19:20] yup [19:21] so i want to file a bug or see if people have already done so and what i can do to help debug it [19:21] same problem in pidgin as well according to the forums [19:24] mhall119: i used to use the wp packages, but they're old, and I hate having my "site" spread all over the filesystem ... so I moved back to using the tgz release [19:25] morning all [19:25] ok, that was kind of my thoughts too, I just wasn't sure if the advantages of it being maintained by the repos was worth it [19:25] and good afternoon [19:26] the repos dont keep up with the security releases nearly quick enough [19:26] and the upgrade is painless anyway [19:28] cool [19:28] thanks
