[00:00] <dscassel> I am tempted to just postpone.
[00:01] <Yompa> I was here to listen in, not planning to participate :-)
[00:01] <dscassel> Hey, Yompa.
[00:01] <Yompa> Good evening!
[00:03] <dscassel> Whereabouts are you anyway? (I've probably already asked that, but I'm terrible at remembering IRC nicks)
[00:05] <Yompa> No I never introduced myself really. I'm in Montreal but I'm of Swedish origin and I still have trouble with the French language so I prefer the English channels for now.
[00:07] <dscassel> That's cool. We have a bunch of Quebec people here.
Bob here, live in Elmira ON, but typing from somewhere in Toronto <out>
[00:08] <dscassel> Yompa: Have you been out to any of the ubuntu-qc Ubuntu Hours or anything?
[00:09] <dscassel> BobJonkman: This is probably going to be a pretty informal 'meeting.'
[00:09] <dscassel> My main action item's going to be hunt down txwikinger and find out why the site's down.
[00:10] <Yompa> I'm a C and C++ programmer by profession and I got caught by Ubuntu the other year, loving it and using it daily now. I'm more or less just idling here to see what's going on locally.
[00:10] <Yompa> Haven't been to a Ubuntu Hour yet, I know there are some in Montreal right?
[00:11] <dscassel> Yeah, ubuntu-qc has one every Thursday in Montreal and Longueuil.
[00:12] <dscassel> -qc mainly operates in French, but the Montreal group seems to be pretty multilingual.
[00:12] <dscassel> Talk to MagicFab about it if you see him around.
[00:14] <Yompa> Alright thanks, will visit one. Montrealers are usually pretty good with languages.
[00:15] <dscassel> They may have moved it to Fridays.  The last one was here: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/592/detail/
[00:21] <Yompa> I see the last one was close to Parc Avenue, not far from where I live. I will keep an eye on the next Hour event.
[00:22] <dscassel> Awesome. :)
[00:22] <dscassel> MagicFab is the one who came up with the Ubuntu Hour idea.
[00:22] <dscassel> I want to go check out his Hour if I happen to be in Montreal sometime when it's on.
[00:23] <Yompa> I see, so it's a Canadian thing only still? Or the idea is spreading?
[00:23] <dscassel> Definitely spreading. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour
[00:23] <dscassel> A few in the Europe. Lots in the US.
[02:18] <MikeS11> hmm. Missed the meeting. How was it?
[02:30] <dscassel> MikeS11: Not much of a turnout.  We'll try again next month.
[03:16] <Madpilot> damn, IRC meeting was this evening. I probably could have made it, too.
