| nUboon2Age | hey y'all. Jtatum, jledbetter and i are here at the Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Co. for Lindependence/Ubuntu Hour. | 01:04 |
|---|---|---|
| jtatum | "santa cruz is neat" | 01:06 |
| jtatum | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jS33Qhdh8k | 01:07 |
| nUboon2Age | also see #lindependence | 01:14 |
| pleia2 | jtatum: upgraded wordpress on u-ca, it was a nasty one | 01:16 |
| jtatum | doh | 01:16 |
| jtatum | thanks pleia2 | 01:16 |
| pleia2 | I skipped 3.0.3 because the fixes didn't apply to us | 01:16 |
| pleia2 | but 3.0.4 was "critical" | 01:16 |
| nUboon2Age | pleia2, jtatum, i'm just curious, are we going to have any of our actual blogs on u-ca? | 01:19 |
| pleia2 | nUboon2Age: http://planet.ubuntu-california.org/ | 01:19 |
| pleia2 | I don't have a link to your blog though | 01:19 |
| pleia2 | those are all the ones from the Projects/Planet page you created | 01:19 |
| nUboon2Age | what i mean is whether we are going to not just link to but actually host any of our blogs on our site pleia2 | 01:20 |
| pleia2 | planet.ubuntu-california.org *is* our site, it runs on the linode | 01:20 |
| nUboon2Age | since you were discussing having wordpress | 01:20 |
| pleia2 | ubuntu-california.org itself runs on wordpress | 01:21 |
| pleia2 | if we want, we can make a blog, but based on discussions at meetings we already have 324323 places to update every time we have an event, adding a blog wasn't a popular suggestion | 01:21 |
| nUboon2Age | so if someone on the team wants to have a blog can they do it actually on our site pleia2? | 01:21 |
| pleia2 | no, we can't really offer blog hosting on the ubuntu-us.org server | 01:22 |
| nUboon2Age | okay that's what i was guessing | 01:22 |
| pleia2 | if someone wants to write articles on behalf of ubuntu-california like jdeslip's berkeleylug.com, that's different :) | 01:22 |
| nUboon2Age | i need to start a FLOSS blog | 01:22 |
| pleia2 | wordpress.com accounts are free, we use one for ubuntuclassroom.wordpress.com, it's nice | 01:23 |
| nUboon2Age | good idea pleia2 | 01:23 |
| nUboon2Age | or instead of an individual it could be a team blog pleia2 | 01:23 |
| pleia2 | yeah, it would have to be a team blog | 01:23 |
| nUboon2Age | it could be like an on-line newsletter. :-) | 01:23 |
| pleia2 | we'd really need people to commit to writing weekly though, when loco blogs get stale people tend to think the team is dead, and that's bad :( I've seen it happen a lot | 01:23 |
| pleia2 | it was a lot of work for me to keep ubuntupennsylvania.org updated, I didn't have a lot of help | 01:25 |
| pleia2 | and ubuntu-us.org ... well, that's just sad, I really need more writers | 01:25 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah. it kinda needs to be something that people do out of sheer enthusiasm. when the time is right it'll get going | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | yeah, so we should certainly keep the idea around for when people want to jump on it :) | 01:26 |
| rww | reminds me of podcast | 01:26 |
| nUboon2Age | it could become a project page at least. | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | yeah, we can do that | 01:27 |
| nUboon2Age | re: the podcast my idea is that it be 'occasional'. that is to say not on a schedule. and maybe in shotcast format. easier to get people to do things now and again and short, one-topic format. | 01:28 |
| nUboon2Age | then again it could be done in the Hacker Public Radio format. whoever on the team does a podcast also posts it to the team podcast. | 01:29 |
| pleia2 | it's also good if we can do the podcast in person, much easier to get together than deal with the technical issues that inevitably surround the creation of a podcast | 01:29 |
| nUboon2Age | well we might occasionally be able to do a podcast at an Ubuntu Hour. pleia2 | 01:32 |
| pleia2 | yeah, that's what I'm thinking :) | 01:32 |
| nUboon2Age | the location we are in for the Lindependence Hour tonight would be ideal since it is mostly isolated from the crowd noise but just enough to give some flavor. | 01:37 |
| jtatum | +1 for wordpress.com | 01:38 |
| jtatum | it's really well maintained | 01:39 |
| nUboon2Age | we're also typing onto the #lindependence channel for tonight's Lindependence Hour | 01:39 |
| nUboon2Age | The #lindependence channel is dedicated to distro-agnostic Linux advocacy from what i can tell. | 01:41 |
| nUboon2Age | "Lindependence, liberating people one small town at a time with Linux and Free/Open Source Software" | 01:47 |
| nUboon2Age | larry cafiero and some others started events they called 'Lindependence Day' a few years back and the channel supports those events and other GNU/Linux advocacy. | 01:48 |
| nUboon2Age | Larry is AKA "Larry the free software guy" and here's a lindependence blog: http://lin08.wordpress.com/ | 01:50 |
| jledbetter | and jledbetter finally unpacks the laptop. Yes, wordpress.com is awesome | 01:50 |
| nUboon2Age | and his Ubuntu Forums announcement of Lindependence Day: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=729582 | 01:50 |
| * pleia2 just hangs out there to talk to larry :) | 01:50 | |
| jledbetter | larry is cool eh? | 01:51 |
| nUboon2Age | and the web site: http://www.lindependence.net/ | 01:51 |
| nUboon2Age | yeah, everyone come over to #lindependence and chat with larry the free software guy. he had to go into work today or he'd be here with us. jledbetter | 01:52 |
| rww | ah, our long-running neglect of forums :( | 01:52 |
| jledbetter | openanimals...neat | 01:52 |
| nUboon2Age | my first encounter with Ubuntu was with the UbuntuForums | 02:13 |
| nUboon2Age | and for months that was my only venue | 02:14 |
| nUboon2Age | i had almost never used irc | 02:14 |
| nUboon2Age | i think i found the Ubuntu CA team through the forums even | 02:15 |
| nUboon2Age | and got tons 'o tek support through the forums | 02:15 |
| nUboon2Age | i even found the irc channels through the forums | 02:16 |
| nUboon2Age | i saw a note about #ubuntu-beginners | 02:16 |
| nUboon2Age | now i'm a regular participant in #ubuntu-beginners | 02:16 |
| jtatum | i just googled irssi ssl and the first hit is pleia2's site | 02:16 |
| rww | hehe. atoponce's blog has a habit of appearing in irssi Google queries too | 02:17 |
| jledbetter | I think I came through ubuntu-women | 02:17 |
| pleia2 | yeah, irssi ssl is one of the biggest search terms for getting to my site | 02:18 |
| rww | I got to UW through an openweek presentation, I think. Gods only know how I got here. | 02:18 |
| jtatum | was trying to see if there was a command line param for it | 02:18 |
| jledbetter | rww, hehe | 02:19 |
| jtatum | i don't think i'll ever get to like irssi though. i get how a irssi genius could be really 'productive' with it though | 02:19 |
| jtatum | there's an emacs guru at the office. it's pretty awesome to watch | 02:20 |
| rww | I'm a lot more happy with it than other clients. I can see how most people (especially non-ops) wouldn't be. | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | jtatum: heh, I'm in 86 channels on 8 or so networks, a gui client doesn't really cut it :\ | 02:20 |
| jtatum | wow | 02:20 |
| jtatum | i will read your page more carefully in that case, pleia2 | 02:20 |
| pleia2 | if you want to see the channel names instead of numbers, there was a good post about it on the debian planet today | 02:21 |
| pleia2 | http://www.die-welt.net/2010/12/because-people-asked-my-irssi-advanced-windowlist-setup/ | 02:21 |
| jtatum | i've cut down to two networks, but feel pressure for more | 02:21 |
| rww | I went from two to one. Made things a lot less confusing. | 02:21 |
| jtatum | scratch that - i forgot about the work network | 02:22 |
| rww | "What do you mean, #ubuntu-california doesn't exist? Oh, wrong network. Again." | 02:22 |
| jtatum | three networks | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | heh, it's easy to mix up oftc and freenode, similar channels | 02:22 |
| jtatum | brought the cr-48 out but it won't associate with this coffee shop network | 02:22 |
| pleia2 | jtatum: sadness! | 02:23 |
| jtatum | it's a pretty great box. this is how unr should work | 02:23 |
| pleia2 | I check my mailbox every day for a cr-48, none so far :( | 02:23 |
| * pleia2 keeps waiting | 02:23 | |
| jtatum | aw | 02:24 |
| jtatum | can't someone pull some strings? hehe | 02:24 |
| jledbetter | the trackpad is ftl tho | 02:24 |
| jtatum | yeah that trackpad makes me want to throw it out the window | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | jtatum: haha, actually today he was like "want me to talk to the team?" | 02:24 |
| rww | are there any good netbook trackpads? | 02:24 |
| jledbetter | the quick boot time makes me forgive its sins | 02:24 |
| jledbetter | rww, good point | 02:24 |
| pleia2 | travel_mice++ | 02:24 |
| jtatum | cr-48 isn't exactly a netbook but good point rww | 02:25 |
| jtatum | seidos is at noisebridge | 02:43 |
| jtatum | D: | 02:43 |
| seidos | i am. which one are you jtatum? | 02:43 |
| jtatum | i'm the jtatum one | 02:43 |
| jtatum | not at noisebridge | 02:43 |
| seidos | how'd you know i was here? | 02:44 |
| rww | 02:42:47 -!- seidos [~seidos@nat-sonicnet.noisebridge.net] has joined #ubuntu-us-ca | 02:44 |
| seidos | haha | 02:44 |
| seidos | Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. —Pablo Picasso | 02:44 |
| seidos | i thought jtatum was the jim guy i met | 02:45 |
| pleia2 | nah, the noisebridge/sflug jim is someone else | 02:45 |
| pleia2 | I don't think he uses irc | 02:46 |
| rww | hrm, apparently it's 2am. I guess Linodes live in UTCland out of the box. | 02:46 |
| jtatum | seidos: your hostmask says noisebridge in it | 02:49 |
| seidos | drat, they kind of look the same | 02:50 |
| seidos | jtatum, yeah, rww mentioned it | 02:50 |
| jtatum | i still haven't been but really want to visit | 02:51 |
| jtatum | don't make it up to the city as much as i want to | 02:52 |
| rww | me either. BART needs to extend north ;P | 02:53 |
| jtatum | also south | 02:55 |
| seidos | i can represent you guys if you want. i rode my bike here ^_^ | 02:55 |
| rww | yup. Sacramento to San Jose would be nice. | 02:57 |
| jtatum | bart sj to sac would take how long? lol | 03:10 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 03:12 |
| rww | I'd rather spend 2 hours on BART than 1 hour in traffic, though :\ | 03:12 |
| jtatum | santa cruz meeting over :) good meeting | 03:31 |
| jtatum | right jledbetter ? | 03:31 |
| jledbetter | nUboon2Age says later | 03:31 |
| jledbetter | jtatum, fo shizzle | 03:31 |
| MarkDude | grantbow, are you going to Ubuntu hour tomorrow? | 03:33 |
| MarkDude | So I was wondering if anyone feels like volunteering for CLS on Jan 15th? https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtBpBSQOLdKtdFRFMVp5LWJKaTZqVU01ZVkyang4VFE&hl=en&authkey=CI7Psq0C | 04:18 |
| MarkDude | And if folks have not signed up yet - http://clswest2011.eventbrite.com/ :) | 04:21 |
| nUboon2Age | Yeah! The first Lindependence Hour in Santa Cruz was a success! 6 people (2 had to cancel last minute) | 04:30 |
| nUboon2Age | We forgot to take pictures | 04:30 |
| MarkDude | \m/ | 04:30 |
| * MarkDude should have been there | 04:31 | |
| akk | yay nUboon2Age | 04:33 |
| * MarkDude thinks that using social media can really help increase the numbers | 04:39 | |
| MarkDude | http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2424094/Demographics%20Cali%20Team.png | 04:40 |
| MarkDude | Demographics from the Teams FB | 04:40 |
| sn9 | LOL, i just discovered that on a norwegian keyboard, if you try to type double quotes with shift-2 when your fingers are one off to the right, it comes out as <3 | 05:58 |
| MarkDude | Rofl Carl from System76 is prolly going to send me a shirt and some stickers :D | 20:03 |
| * MarkDude feels the need to state that he was compensated by ZA as companies do with Executives when they leave. | 20:04 | |
| MarkDude | This was NOT a lack of $ thing on their part, nor was my pursuing other ventures a big acrimonious deal :) | 20:06 |
| * MarkDude has been asked lots of questions regarding this, and to head some more off, I will do another blog post | 20:06 | |
| MarkDude | http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/fifthpillar/2010/12/30/wow-some-of-you-folks-have-lots-of-questions-zareason-is-ok/ | 22:25 |
| MarkDude | Post to clarify that all is well between myself and ZA :) | 22:25 |
