| * staticsafe prefers tea | 14:31 | |
| staticsafe | and hey dca | 14:31 |
| staticsafe | and hey dscassel | 14:31 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning, dscassel , genii-around, staticsafe | 14:39 |
| dscassel | Tea. Good idea. | 14:39 |
| dscassel | Morning, staticsafe :) | 14:39 |
| staticsafe | morning | 14:40 |
| genii-around | BluesKaj: Mornin' :) I'm happier today now that the weather is decent. | 14:41 |
| staticsafe | hey, any of you guys in Toronto? | 14:41 |
| genii-around | I am | 14:41 |
| staticsafe | it would be cool if we had a Ubuntu event in Toronto, genii-around | 14:42 |
| genii-around | staticsafe: I'm holding a release party for Natty | 14:43 |
| genii-around | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/781/detail/ | 14:43 |
| genii-around | I held one for Lucid in same place but got ill and missed Maverick. But hoping to do each next release from here | 14:44 |
| staticsafe | genii-around: nice nice, i can defintitely come | 14:44 |
| staticsafe | registering now | 14:44 |
| genii-around | Cool | 14:44 |
| * staticsafe adds event to Gcal | 14:46 | |
| staticsafe | genii-around: i'll send a message to the TLUG mailing list about the event as well | 15:12 |
| genii-around | staticsafe: I was going to tell Colin McGregor, we are both FreeNet guys. But I won't see him until our board meeting tomorrow. | 15:17 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: There are lots of Toronto Ubuntu people around, but not too many people (genii-around being a welcome exception) doing much organizing. | 15:29 |
| dscassel | We'd appreciate your help if you wanted to start something. :) | 15:29 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: heh, i've never organized an event before, so i have no experience | 15:29 |
| dscassel | No experience necessary. :D | 15:30 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: what sort of event are we talking about? | 15:30 |
| dscassel | The easiest thing people can do is start an Ubuntu Hour: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hour | 15:30 |
| staticsafe | hmm | 15:30 |
| dscassel | Just hang out in a cafe and chat with fellow Ubuntu users. It doesn't even have to be about Ubuntu. | 15:31 |
| dscassel | The only tricky part is publicizing it, but we can help with that. :) | 15:31 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: i can also ask on the TLUG mailing list, also need some possible venues | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | I'd like to attend as well, altho it's a 5 hr drive for me , and no laptop , so it would be like playing hockey without a stick :) | 15:32 |
| dscassel | Linuxcaffe is the obvious one, but for an Hour, it can be anywhere that is happy to have small groups congregating. | 15:32 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: You could always start a Sudbury Ubuntu Hour. Who knows, somebody might show up. :) | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, well, i contacted a couple of Linux Club guys in Sudbury , but it's a pretty loose arrangement and poorly organized . Also I live in a small town 75km west of Sudbury. | 15:36 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: Yeah that makes it trickier. | 15:37 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: im writing an e-mail to TLUG as we speak. :) | 15:38 |
| dscassel | OTOH, loose arrangements are what things like the Ubuntu Hour are all about. It's good to meet up face to face once in a while. | 15:38 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: Cool. :) | 15:38 |
| dscassel | Oh yeah, IRC meeting tonight. | 15:39 |
| staticsafe | :O | 15:39 |
| dscassel | http://loco.ubuntu.com/meetings/team/35/detail/ | 15:39 |
| dscassel | I'd kinda forgot about it. | 15:40 |
| dscassel | Good thing I leave myself notes. | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, so the Toronto meeting would fine for me if I had a laptop , I think it would be interesting , but I don't plan on buying one til June or July | 15:40 |
| staticsafe | heh the only laptop i have is my Macbook Pro. :P | 15:40 |
| dscassel | BluesKaj: You don't need a laptop to socialize. (I hear some Ubuntu Hours ban laptops. I wouldn't dare do that myself... :) | 15:40 |
| BluesKaj | dscassel, :) | 15:41 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: how does this e-mail look to you - http://puu.sh/1dQR | 15:51 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: Looks great to me. :) | 15:53 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: alright, will send it now | 15:53 |
| staticsafe | also got something cool for you guys - http://sprki.com/computer-hardware-chart.html | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | staticsafe, on what street/block is the linuxcaffe located ? | 16:00 |
| staticsafe | BluesKaj: it's on 326 Harbord Street, closest intersection seems to be Bloor St W and Bathurst St | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | ok, thanks staticsafe | 16:03 |
| staticsafe | np | 16:08 |
| KombuchaKip | Get your gas masks folks. All three reactors melt down imminent. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1365781/Japan-earthquake-tsunami-All-3-Fukushima-nuclear-plant-reactors-meltdown.html | 20:14 |
| gchisholm | I'd rather a radiation suit ;) | 20:33 |
| BluesKaj | KombuchaKip, yeah dailymail , areal trusted source :) | 20:45 |
| KombuchaKip | http://e.nikkei.com/e/fr/tnks/Nni20110312D12JFF03.htm | 20:46 |
| bregma | those reactors are designed for meltdown, it's not a bad thing | 21:44 |
| bregma | containment breach, now that's a bad thing | 21:44 |
| bregma | a meltdown would prevent containment breach | 21:45 |
| hypatia | meeting! | 22:50 |
| hypatia | almost forgot :) | 22:50 |
| dscassel | Meeting! | 23:02 |
| dscassel | :D | 23:02 |

| dscassel | Unless people want to argue about what Mark said to some Gnome developer in 2008. | 23:03 |

| dscassel | It seems to be a popular passtime these days. Not my thing, tho. | 23:04 |

| dscassel | Meeting agenda is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CanadianTeam/Meetings/2011-03-15 | 23:11 |
| dscassel | It'll look familiar if you've done this before. | 23:12 |
| dscassel | If anyone has anything else they'd like to talk about, let me know and I'll add it to the agenda. | 23:12 |
| hypatia | UDS and sponsorship! | 23:13 |
| hypatia | i will talk about that | 23:13 |
| txwikinger | put it on the agenda hypatia | 23:13 |
| dscassel | Ooh, good idea. | 23:14 |
| * txwikinger can give some comments having been sponsered for UDS before | 23:14 | |
| hypatia | txwikinger: wiki access is still broken | 23:14 |
| hypatia | if someone else doesn't mind | 23:14 |
| txwikinger | ok | 23:14 |
| kenjy | whats UDS? | 23:14 |
| * hypatia actually files a freaking RT ticket for that RIGHT NOW | 23:14 | |
| kenjy | Ubuntu Data Servers? | 23:15 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu Developer Summit. | 23:15 |
| kenjy | :O okay | 23:15 |
| dscassel | All right. So Item #1: Events. | 23:16 |
| dscassel | Two big ones coming up: | 23:16 |
| dscassel | Ubuntu Global Jam (Apr 1-3) | 23:16 |
| FiReSTaRT | dscassel: just a quick hello, working atm can't attend meeting | 23:17 |
| dscassel | And Natty Narwhal release (Apr 28) | 23:17 |
| dscassel | FiReSTaRT: Any quick update about a Toroto jam? | 23:17 |
| dscassel | We're holding a Jam here at Kwartzlab on April 2. | 23:17 |
| dscassel | There was some talk about Jams in Toronto or Peterborough. | 23:18 |
| komputes | cyphermox: any steps taken in planning the Montreal release party? | 23:18 |
| txwikinger | I think our friends from Ubuntu-qc will have something for the Jam in Montreal | 23:20 |
| dscassel | komputes: Since we've got you guys here, can we (as Ubuntu Canada) help (publicize, anything else) ubuntu-qc events? | 23:20 |
| dscassel | Also, would you be interested in joining us for LAN gaming? Our party is going to be Apr 30. :) | 23:21 |
| dscassel | So, Toronto stuff. | 23:22 |
| komputes | dscassel: whats the game? | 23:22 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: have you met hypatia? | 23:22 |
| hypatia | release party! | 23:22 |
| txwikinger | Toronto will have a Relese party http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/team/781/detail/ | 23:23 |
| txwikinger | Not sure if there are additional events planned in Toronto? | 23:23 |
| komputes | dscassel: I have no problem with Ubuntu-CA publishing Ubuntu-QC events in English. I find most of the discussion in QC is in French. | 23:23 |
| dscassel | komputes: Bunch of stuff. http://kwartzlab.ca/mediawiki/index.php/LAN_Party_Event_Planning#The_Games | 23:23 |
| dscassel | hypatia: Yeah! genii-around is giving it another go. | 23:25 |
| komputes | dscassel: I'm in for OpenArena; at least it's the one I have most experience with. | 23:25 |
| dscassel | Teeworlds is fun and easy. :) | 23:25 |
| komputes | dscassel: Apr 30th, what time? | 23:25 |
| staticsafe | sorry dscassel stepped outside for a bit | 23:26 |
| dscassel | Probably afternoon-ish. It'll likely go for a bit. | 23:26 |
| dscassel | komputes: We can work out details later. :) | 23:27 |
| hypatia | another toronto event coming up is maker faire: http://makerfairetoronto.ca/ | 23:27 |
| komputes | dscassel: sounds good, I marked the 30th afternoonish for the LAN part | 23:28 |
| dscassel | hypatia: I'll definitely be there. Should we put together a booth or something? | 23:28 |
| komputes | oops, april, done | 23:28 |
| dscassel | Or just wander around handing out CDs and stickers? | 23:29 |
| komputes | Hoping I could get to play from Montreal. | 23:30 |
| dscassel | komputes: A pan-Canadian LAN party would be awesome. :D | 23:30 |
| staticsafe | indeed | 23:30 |
| komputes | indeed | 23:30 |
| hypatia | dscassel: we'd be happy to have ubuntu stickers and cd's at the hacklab booth | 23:31 |
| staticsafe | may I suggest a FPS? Urban Terror is the name. :) | 23:31 |
| komputes | it becomes a WAN party then ;) | 23:31 |
| dscassel | ...true... | 23:31 |
| dscassel | There'll be another meeting before the release party. | 23:32 |
| BobJonkman | Pan-Canadian LAN party == PanCanLan | 23:32 |
| hypatia | oh good | 23:32 |
| hypatia | BobJonkman: i love it | 23:32 |
| dscassel | This is your last chance to talk about Jams, though. Except, you know, for pinging me on IRC any time... | 23:33 |
| dscassel | We're thinking of doing our own Jam earlier in the Oneiric cycle. This is kind of late for dev contributions. | 23:34 |
| dscassel | They really want people to test, however. | 23:34 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: can I add Ubuntu Hours to the agenda? | 23:34 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: Definitely. I wanted to at least mention the Jam first. :) | 23:34 |
| dscassel | So, staticsafe, any news on Ubuntu Hours? :) | 23:35 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: I asked around on TLUG, got some questions, some nitpicking, no real interest yet | 23:35 |
| hypatia | nitpicking? tlug? never. :p | 23:35 |
| dscassel | heh. | 23:36 |
| dscassel | staticsafe is planning on starting up a Toronto Hour. Which I think is a fantastic idea. :) | 23:36 |
| hypatia | yay! | 23:36 |
| hypatia | that's fantastic | 23:36 |
| txwikinger | Well. Ubuntu hours are often something more external not necessarily part of LUGs | 23:36 |
| BobJonkman | I've started an Ubuntu Hour in Kitchener. actually, I was just hanging around in the Little Bean Cafe anyway, and just called it an Ubuntu Hour. | 23:36 |
| BobJonkman | And then some other people showed up! | 23:37 |
| hypatia | BobJonkman: i think that's the general idea, no? | 23:37 |
| txwikinger | Magicfab started them by just being in a coffee shop or something like that | 23:37 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Awesome! That's exactly the idea. | 23:37 |
| staticsafe | I was thinking Linux Caffe. :) | 23:37 |
| staticsafe | but any other suitable place would do | 23:37 |
| hypatia | i'm sure djp would be happy to host it | 23:37 |
| txwikinger | Take some Ubuntu place cards on the table and let people ask questions | 23:37 |
| hypatia | HackLAb is less good for UH because we don't have food :/ | 23:37 |
| staticsafe | txwikinger: where can I get some of those? :O | 23:38 |
| txwikinger | staticsafe: Well Linuxcaffee is nice, but most people there probaly already know about FLOSS.. Other places probably have more advertisement value | 23:38 |
| dscassel | Just getting started with a regular meetup goes a long way to building up the community. | 23:38 |
| txwikinger | staticsafe: make some yourself? | 23:38 |
| hypatia | txwikinger: not really true | 23:38 |
| staticsafe | hmm | 23:38 |
| BobJonkman | Have a placecard on me: http://sobac.com/temp/ubuntu/ ODF Draw file, or JPG image | 23:38 |
| staticsafe | thanks BobJonkman | 23:38 |
| hypatia | lots of just randome coffee people at LC | 23:38 |
| txwikinger | hypatia: well.. educate me.. I never made it to the Linuxcaffee yet :D | 23:39 |
| hypatia | and UH isn't just about outreaching to random people | 23:39 |
| hypatia | it's about building community for people who are already involved | 23:39 |
| hypatia | txwikinger: it's a regular coffee shop for most patrons | 23:39 |
| txwikinger | hypatia: cool.. well then it is certainly a good place too | 23:39 |
| dscassel | How to run an Ubuntu Hour: http://askubuntu.com/questions/7/how-do-i-run-a-successful-ubuntu-hour | 23:39 |
| hypatia | dscassel: nice | 23:40 |
| * hypatia bookmarks | 23:40 | |
| * bhrams might be down for a Toronto UH | 23:40 | |
| txwikinger | Make sure the Ubuntu hour is put on the loco schedule | 23:41 |
| txwikinger | Then I might also even blog about it | 23:41 |
| * staticsafe opens up loco page | 23:41 | |
| dscassel | We've got to put these up on the web page as well. | 23:41 |
| * dscassel makes a note to self | 23:42 | |
| staticsafe | hmm, how do I add a scheduled even? | 23:42 |
| staticsafe | event* | 23:42 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: First, log in. | 23:42 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: already am. :) | 23:42 |
| dscassel | Then there should be an "add event" link. | 23:42 |
| dscassel | You have to be a member of the Ubuntu-ca launchpad team. | 23:43 |
| staticsafe | dscassel: hmm, I logged in at ubuntu-ca.org | 23:44 |
| billybigrigger | howdy all | 23:44 |
| txwikinger | no.. it is at loco.ubuntu.com | 23:44 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: Yeah. http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ca | 23:44 |
| staticsafe | ah | 23:44 |
| staticsafe | ty | 23:44 |
| dscassel | We can set you up with a webpage login too, but that's a little more involved. Talk to txwikinger later. | 23:45 |
| staticsafe | alright, cool | 23:45 |
| BobJonkman | Speaking of Web page... | 23:45 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman: Let's do UDS first. | 23:45 |
| BobJonkman | OK | 23:45 |
| dscassel | UDS! (It's 7:45...) | 23:46 |
| dscassel | hypatia: What's involved in sponsorship? I have no idea. | 23:46 |
| hypatia | ok! so | 23:46 |
| hypatia | you go to http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-o/ | 23:46 |
| hypatia | you sign in | 23:46 |
| hypatia | and you submit a form, which is a multi-stage process | 23:47 |
| hypatia | i've documented the steps on the ubuntu women wiki | 23:47 |
| hypatia | http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/UDS | 23:47 |
| hypatia | which also has more info about the application process | 23:47 |
| hypatia | basically you have to do a writeup of your contributions in the past cycle, and talk about what you want to do in the next cycle | 23:47 |
| txwikinger | And then you have to do some chores at the UDS event. Like be a runner and hanging up posters of the sessions etc | 23:49 |
| txwikinger | that is if you are sponsored | 23:49 |
| hypatia | yup | 23:49 |
| dscassel | UDS is awesome, by the way. Even if you can't spend a week in Budapest, you can follow along online. | 23:49 |
| dscassel | There's audio streaming and IRC chats for every session. | 23:49 |
| hypatia | yup, all the sessions are simulcast | 23:49 |
| dscassel | You get a very good idea for how Ubuntu actually works. | 23:50 |
| txwikinger | Yes.. the only thing you are missing on the remote participation are the hallway talks and the socialising, but all the sessions you can participate | 23:50 |
| txwikinger | Anymore questions/points for UDS sponsorship? | 23:51 |
| dscassel | Anybody is welcome to attend UDS. Sponsorship means Canonical will pay for you to be there. | 23:51 |
| hypatia | that's all i've got, txwikinger | 23:52 |
| dscassel | Okay. Almost 8. We should move onto the web page. | 23:52 |
| hypatia | yup | 23:52 |
| txwikinger | BobJonkman1: ? | 23:52 |
| dscassel | wmpetersen sent us an updated site logo, and tonyyarusso updated the theme. | 23:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | Sorry. Flaky BIOS, laptop keeps locking up. Only BIOS upgrade available is for Windows... | 23:53 |
| dscassel | I'm not entirely sure where that updated theme is, but we should get it on launchpad. | 23:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | So, I still can't log into http://ubuntu-ca.org | 23:53 |
| dscassel | BobJonkman1: we'll forgive you. | 23:53 |
| BobJonkman1 | I get various errors, the latest (today) being that "User bjonkman already exists" | 23:54 |
| dscassel | We're still having OpenID issues, apparently. | 23:54 |
| BobJonkman1 | Yes, I log in with OpenID | 23:54 |
| komputes | txwikinger: the only thing you are missing on the remote participation is the drinking | 23:55 |
| staticsafe | heh komputes | 23:55 |
| * staticsafe is underage | 23:55 | |
| BobJonkman1 | Usually with http://sobac.com/bjonkman which contains a redirect to https://launchpad.net/~bjonkman | 23:55 |
| txwikinger | BobJonkman1: There is some mess with the launchpad openid plugin | 23:55 |
| dscassel | staticsafe: I don't think that's an issue in Hungary. :) | 23:55 |
| hypatia | staticsafe: probably not underage in hungary, haha | 23:55 |
| hypatia | dscassel: jinx | 23:56 |
| dscassel | :D | 23:56 |
| * dscassel doesn't drink. 9_9 | 23:56 | |
| txwikinger | staticsafe: they have lemonade in Hungary ;) | 23:56 |
| komputes | omg they do? now i'm super excited :-D | 23:56 |
| txwikinger | komputes: You can drink at home too | 23:56 |
| * komputes cracks one open | 23:57 | |
| * staticsafe sticks to milk | 23:57 | |
| txwikinger | BobJonkman1: Maybe it is best we hook up one of those days and I help you through the process to fix your account to work with openid again | 23:57 |
| BobJonkman1 | OK, offline. Show up for a Kitchener Ubuntu Hour one morning :-) | 23:58 |
| txwikinger | BobJonkman1: Some people work at those times :D | 23:58 |
| hypatia | laters BobJonkman1 | 23:59 |
