DavidLevin jrolland-ubuntu lostson mikeputnam nickmoeck ripps? [01:58] h00k, I'm here. :p [01:59] sweet. two people. [02:00] anyone else?

[02:03] h00k, Its better then listening to this lecture. [02:03] timtierney: Hah [02:04] hello: everyone [02:04] yotux, Hey there. [02:04] yotux: it's you, myself, and timtierney. [02:04] so far, apparently. [02:05] and exigraff. [02:05] so, to keep it light because of the attendance, there's a few things that would be good to talk about [02:05] ah, /topic says I'm early though [02:05] by a few months [02:06] way to be [02:06] 1) Happy New Year! How are things going? 2) What do you want to do this year with the LoCo? Different? More? 3) Anything additional? [02:07] Happy New Yars! [02:07] *Year [02:07] yarrrr [02:07] Indeed Happy New Year everyone. [02:07] my feet are freezing. [02:07] 1. happy new year [02:07] so, we can start with 1! [02:08] hello, ubuntuWi-Guest! You can change your nickname by typing /nick newnicknamehere [02:08] 1b. Things are good, I work 2 1/2 jobs and I would like to learn more about software testing in Natty [02:09] yotux: Cool. How familiar are you with reporting bugs? [02:09] I have read the wiki but I feel that I should re-read / print out the doc [02:10] I'm testing Natty on both my laptop and netbook [02:10] running natty at the present, not for this meeting [02:10] yotux, Nice. I only have it in VirtualBox right now. [02:11] yotux: do you like it so far? [02:11] I'm excited to see Unity and how it will end up. [02:11] Laptop, Desktop need alt CD due to LVM's [02:11] unity confuses me with natty [02:11] hook: you have be running remix for netbooks? [02:11] yotux: the netbook edition, yeah [02:12] they got rid of the 'remix' label and just deemed it 'netbook edition' a few releases ago [02:12] then you have had some unity exp. [02:12] Sorry [02:12] Yeah, and it's actually default now on the Desktop edition as well [02:12] have not gotten a netbook yet thinking about it this year [02:13] I have the EEE and it's pretty slick [02:13] I have ATI on my Laptop [02:14] ATI in natty has some issues, due to the early Xorg and compiz I believe [02:14] Yeah, it definitely could be [02:14] Hate unity on netbook, is it different on Natty. Not sure about after 10.10 [02:15] guest: the ubuntu team will be placing unity on all ubuntu Release starting 11.04 [02:15] ubuntuWi-Guest: are you new to the LoCo? Do you have a usual nickname? [02:16] yes sorry Henry [02:16] ubuntuWi-Guest: oh, cool. Hello. [02:17] ubuntuWi-Guest: whereabouts are you located? [02:17] Welcome to the Monthly Ubuntu Wisconsin Loco meeting Henry [02:17] Monthly has been but a dream, but I'd love to get more people wanting to do more [02:17] Sorry [02:18] It should be monthly, though [02:19] yotux: cool, you want to know more about testing. [02:19] Anyone else want to do something new/different/more this year? [02:19] hook: yes I would [02:20] am i fashionably late ? === ubuntuWi-Guest is now known as henrydubb [02:20] lostson: wooo! [02:20] oh, henrydubb. you! Cool. I wasn't putting that together [02:20] lostson: yeah. We've learned 1) Happy New Year 2) yotux wants to know more about testing natty. [02:20] lostson: your turn [02:21] testing natty use a usb key [02:21] exigraff: you too [02:21] i want to have a loco lan party and play alien arena all night [02:21] you could run your only machines on unstable software (like I do), I just expect things to break often. [02:22] lostson: that would be fun. [02:22] * h00k makes notes [02:22] bus trip to defcon ? [02:22] I'd love to. OH, Oh, I am going to LinuxCon this year. [02:23] lostson: when is defcon? [02:23] nice. [02:23] a few weeks after my wedding [02:23] i know you won them [02:23] lostson: one ticket, yeah :D [02:23] hook: congrats [02:23] yotux: http://www.defcon.org/ [02:23] yotux: thanks [02:24] yotux: it's a security convention [02:24] *the* security convention [02:24] i like pen testing [02:24] keeps main machines stable, anyway [02:25] i install on a separate partition [02:26] defcon sounds great but I have a MS ride that weekend [02:26] id like to go at leaast once [02:27] Me too [02:27] yeah, same here [02:27] 2. Release party? Also it would be great to be an offical loco [02:27] we could setup a capture the flag contest [02:28] yotux: yes, it would be good, except I don't think we have gotten enough people/activities [02:28] h00k: It seems that we are all spread across the state [02:28] what is the criteria for "official" loco ? [02:28] Release Party, yes. [02:29] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved [02:29] lostson: ^ this [02:29] release party would probably be on saturday correct ? [02:29] It can be any day [02:29] even a month after release, if we want. [02:30] i see [02:30] I can set a Release Party up in the Rhinelander area, for sure. [02:31] we had one in Madison, and Superior in the past [02:31] I'd help anyone else looking to set one up in their area, but I'm not going to do the whole thing [02:32] ;) anyone up for one in their area? [02:33] I live near Madison [02:33] im in appleton [02:33] Natty's out in April, on the 28th [02:34] yotux: Madison has a pretty active LUG, I wonder if they'd be up for doing anything again. I can approach them and see if they're interested [02:34] ask ol douglaswah [02:34] yessir [02:34] and the steering committee [02:35] hmm whatever happened to fluxbuntu [02:36] apparently they are still alive and strong. They have 7.10 out... [02:36] http://fluxbuntu.org/ [02:36] I have a hard time believing that [02:36] lol [02:36] that's another idea to put on my board then [02:36] fluxbuntu? [02:37] yep [02:37] :D [02:37] soo many projects and too many kids [02:37] :) [02:38] i would like to get in on the whole release party thing but i work every saturday so its kinda tough for me [02:38] Working allot I am free most Sat mornings, About 1500 I start to get busier [02:39] I have installed ubuntu for a few co-workers in my factory job [02:39] it doesn't have to be on a Saturday, although weekends usually help [02:39] I'm off on the weekends. [02:39] yotux: cool, did you get feedback, good/bad? [02:39] I live in Portage, I will check into getting the library room [02:39] 2 of them love it [02:40] Oh, cool. They'd be candidates to attend, too. [02:40] 1 is on the fence, there are media formats that they question [02:40] The one we had in Superior was mostly a social, the one in Madison I presented a 'what's new' and then we ate pizza [02:41] I think that general public doesn't understand some of the legal issues with multimedia [02:41] i love pizza [02:41] Oh, meeting? [02:41] Love Pizza also [02:41] nickmoeck: Oh, meeting! Do you like pizza? [02:41] nickmoeck: we're talking about release party potential [02:41] Pizza is good. I had some today, actually [02:42] exigraff: did I hear you say you're going to spearhead a Superior release party again;)? [02:42] * h00k coughs [02:42] negative. [02:43] reminds me: Does anyone else blog ubuntu-related stuff and want to be syndicated? [02:43] http://ubuntu-wisconsin.org/c/syndicated/ [02:43] I don't blog sorry [02:43] no reason to be sorry [02:43] sorry for not blogging more often :( [02:43] no reason to be sorry [02:43] >.< [02:44] my blog post have been sparse lately hoping to do more this year [02:44] it's not...like...a requirement [02:44] h00k: har har [02:44] lostson: I liked your new post [02:44] yeah saw your comment [02:44] lostson: agreed, thanks for getting that on paper [02:44] as it were [02:44] not my best work but a decent post [02:45] I've been meaning to, also, but other things are taking prescidence [02:45] like the wedding stuffs. [02:46] yeah that will keep you busy [02:46] work and all. [02:46] life happens [02:46] I forgot my numbers. 1 was happy new year, 2 was what we want to do, 3 was... [02:46] misc? [02:46] yes! [02:46] anyone have anything? [02:47] I say more meetings! [02:47] yussss [02:47] Wednesday nights usually work for people? [02:47] Its a night that I don't work doubles [02:47] cool. [02:47] Thursdays i have ARES / RACE Nets [02:48] i prefer meetings at 5am when everyone is sleeping and its just me my coffee pot and computers : ) [02:48] Amateur Radio sorry [02:48] that's pretty cool, though. [02:49] Amatuer Radio [02:49] yotux: nice [02:49] reminds me, have you guys got anything cool that's not ubuntu-related to share? [02:50] projects/hobbies/whatever [02:50] I'm writing a wedding-rsvp thing in ruby. [02:50] Tried to build Chromium OS a couple weeks ago. [02:50] :D [02:50] how'd that go? [02:50] h00k: yes I received my liscense last year KC9TUX [02:50] I did that, too. It didn't make the .img correctly. [02:50] That's awesome. [02:50] exigraff: Not quite Ubuntu related, but I'm working on starting a web hosting business, focusing on low-end OpenVZ VPS servers [02:51] h00k, I got the image and it booted but wouldn't go to the login screen. [02:51] h00k, Just a black screen. I could change virtual terminals and see what the kernel was doing but no luck. [02:51] timtierney: I should do it again soon. I'm still hoping for a CR-48. [02:51] ugh, CR-48's [02:52] freaking google [02:52] lawl [02:52] They sent one out to every zip code in Milwaukee [02:52] except mine [02:52] nickmoeck, Yeah I did it on my ThinkPad W700 which I think was half the problem. [02:52] i got a ton of projects brewing just keeping a lid on most of them but i can say at least 3 of them are almost complete [02:54] although i think a fluxbox spin is gonna go to the top of the list right now [02:54] the gaming stuff can wait for a bit [02:54] heh [02:54] I kinda miss fluxbox, truth be told [02:54] Alien Arena, I have to add that to the list [02:54] not enough to switch [02:55] Back to the Ubuntu points...actually...Does anyone mind volunteering doing notes for the meetings? [02:55] im trying to figure out too if i want to publish my rebuilt kernels with oss support to a PPA for people or nto [02:55] just one point... [02:56] hmmm. [02:56] apparently not. [02:56] h00k: I can do notes for the next meetings [02:56] well, we have logs [02:56] yes, we do [02:56] for the website, you're thinking? [02:57] yeah someone call pull their irc logs and post notes [02:57] website/mailing-list cross-post [02:57] Sorry multi meetings at once [02:57] 'sok [02:57] does it have to be the same person every meeting ? [02:57] no [02:57] as long as it's not me all the time :D [02:57] because I occasionally forget. [02:58] lostson: can I put you in charge of heading up the LAN party if you want to set one upo? [02:58] i dont mind doing it its just with my schedule i cant say i can be here everytime but im always in here so i can pull the logs [02:58] -o [02:58] I know for my ham radio meetings we decide who will be doing what for the next month [02:58] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/01/06/%23ubuntu-us-wi.html [02:58] etc [02:59] pending location could it be LAN / WAN? [02:59] our friend ubuntulog2 and ubuntulog do this for is [02:59] h00k: let me run parse some more of the idea through my brain first but i think i could put something together [02:59] probably WAN party [02:59] lostson: no prob [03:00] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [03:01] I vote we have a meeting...hmm...first week in Feb? [03:01] talk more about Release Parties [03:02] ? [03:02] for a release party it would be best in a public place a all ages sort of place im assuming [03:02] Yes [03:02] ok [03:02] I will spear head a Portage location [03:02] Awesome. [03:02] I have Rhinelander [03:02] im trying to think of what i could arrange around here [03:02] maybe something like skype to link all parties in WI? [03:03] Skype/IRC, something like that, yeah, if we did them at the same time [03:03] that would be cool. [03:03] for reference: http://anthonyrhook.com/blog/2009/11/08/release-party-success/ [03:03] Also, http://anthonyrhook.com/blog/2009/10/20/ubuntu-karmic-koala-release-party/ [03:04] map and Google Docs RSVP form link is dead. [03:05] So, let's see what we can get cooking and plan for the first week in Feb [03:05] The 2nd [03:05] sound alright? [03:05] Anything else people want to bring up? [03:05] groundhog day ? [03:05] Oh, is it? [03:06] yeah you should put the statusnet site on the website and pimp that thing i think there is only 4 of us on there [03:06] I think so, too. [03:07] speaking of that where is spikeb tonight [03:07] I donno :( [03:07] douglasswh said he couldn't make it either [03:07] I totally forgot to spam statusnet and twitter and identica about the meeting, too. [03:07] that guy is always busy [03:07] and the /topic [03:08] Next time I will toss it out of Twitter, FB, maybe even Buzz [03:08] feel free, if you know one is coming ;) [03:08] Oh, we have a Facebook group, too [03:08] I forget... [03:08] really [03:08] and the calendar [03:08] We do [03:08] what do you have setup on Buzz im a buzz junkie [03:09] can you do Buzz Groups? [03:09] Does this link work? http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6350475927 [03:09] not sure just got into the Social network thing [03:09] I hate Facebook, so I don't usually do much with it. [03:10] We have a ton of opportunities to spread the word [03:10] I don't think so [03:10] exigraff: to what? [03:10] yeah i am not even on facebook [03:10] ok added Feb 2 to my calenday 8pm like normal ? [03:10] yep. I'll throw it on the Ubuntu Wisconsin calendar, too [03:11] have added it [03:11] Aaaand added. [03:11] h00k: to Buzz groups; my connection dropped [03:11] * h00k drops exigraff [03:13] Cool, I'll do a summary, and we can throw those on the site, too [03:14] So, I think that's all for now. [03:14] Take care, and keep in touch! [03:14] I'll still be around. [03:14] ok sounds good [03:14] h00k: Thankz have a good evening [03:15] yotux: you too :D [03:17] Cool. [03:17] that was more productive than I thought it was going to be [03:18] we may be small but we can still be mighty [03:19] I sure hope so [03:20] h00k: I want to test ubuntu +1 thinking feature testing is that place to go? [03:23] yotux: yes, that's perfect. [03:23] yotux: also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing [03:24] reading up on it at the moment [03:24] bugs and find them and reporting them scares me, think after i do it a few times it will be easier [03:24] Yes, it surely will [03:24] it's not too bad [03:25] ubuntu-bug [packagename] makes it quite easy [03:25] i know for me windows manager is crashing in natty [03:25] is there a easy way to see what apps are doing in the background [03:25] how does one one that they have a bug, reading debugging at the moment [03:33] aaand notes sent out. [04:50] * uberushaximus is a slowpoke
